This paper presents a new approach for thermal unit commitment (UC) using a differential evolution (DE) algorithm. DE is an effective, robust, and simple global optimization algorithm which only has a few control parameters and has been successfully applied to a wide range of optimization problems. However, the standard DE cannot be applied to binary optimization problems such as UC problems since it is restricted to continuous-valued spaces. This paper proposes binary differential evolution (BDE), which enables the DE to operate in binary spaces and applies the proposed BDE to UC problems. Furthermore, this paper includes heuristic-based constraint treatment techniques to deal with the minimum up/down time and spinning reserve constraints in UC problems. Since excessive spinning reserves can incur high operation costs, the unit de-commitment strategy is also introduced to improve the solution quality. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed BDE, it is applied to largescale power systems of up to 100-units with a 24-hour demand horizon.

Unsupervised spectral angle classification (USAC) is the algorithm that can extract ground object information with the minimum 'Spectral Angle' operation on behalf of 'Spectral Euclidian Distance' in the clustering process. In this study, our algorithm uses the unit vector instead of the spectral distance to compute the mean of cluster in the unsupervised classification. The proposed algorithm (MUSAC) is applied to the Hyperion and ETM+ data and the results are compared with K-Meails and former USAC algorithm (FUSAC). USAC is capable of clearly classifying water and dark forest area and produces more accurate results than K-Means. Atmospheric correction for more accurate results was adapted on the Hyperion data (Hyperion-FLAASH) but the results did not have any effect on the accuracy. Thus we anticipate that the 'Spectral Angle' can be one of the most accurate classifiers of not only multispectral images but also hyperspectral images. Furthermore the cluster unit vector can be an efficient technique for determination of each cluster mean in the USAC.

This study was carried out to minimize the lifting force of a two hinge type stand mechanism. This unit is designed for the display devices in order to enhance the ergonomics for effective height adjustment and maintenance at any preferred position. The unit will be very useful for the mechanism fabricated with a coil spring and disc springs as a torque generator. The maximum and the minimum torque value should be calculated initially for the smooth lift. And the reasonable torque distribution is necessary to prevent any auto lift and auto dropping at any position because the torque generated by coil spring is more sensitive than disc spring in tilting the position. Therefore, the analysis of the coil spring is requisite to issue the specific torque value depending on the distorted angle with securing reliability of a long time storage condition. After the theoretical torque value was calculated, the evaluation was carried out by making a proto-type sample, then distorted angle was updated by experiment. The result of this study can readily be applied to various units for the optimization of the smooth lift.

Unsupervised classification is an important area of research in image processing because supervised classification has the disadvantages such as long task-training time and high cost and low objectivity in training information. This paper focuses on unsupervised classification, which can extract ground object information with the minimum 'Spectral Angle Distance' operation on be behalf of 'Spectral Euclidian Distance' in the clustering process. Unlike previous studies, our algorithm uses the unit vector, not the spectral distance, to compute the cluster mean, and the Single-Pass algorithm automatically determines the seed points. Atmospheric correction for more accurate results was adapted on the Hyperion data and the results were analyzed. We applied the algorithm to the Hyperion and ETM+ data and compared the results with K-Means and the former USAM algorithm. From the result, USAM classified the water and dark forest area well and gave more accurate results than K-Means, so we believe that the 'Spectral Angle' can be one of the most accurate classifiers of not only multispectral images but hyperspectral images. And also the unit vector can be an efficient technique for characterizing the Remote Sensing data.

This paper proposes a unit commitment scheduling method based on Genetic Algorithm(GA). Due to a variety of constraints to be satisfied, the search space of the UC problem is highly nonconvex, so the UC problem cannot be solved efficiently only using the standard GA To efficiently deal with the constraints of the problem and greatly reduce the search space of the GA, the minimum up and down time constraints are embedded in the binary strings that are coded to represent the on-off states of the generating units. The violations of other constraints arc handled by integrating penalty factors. To show the effectiveness of the GA based unit commitment scheduling, test results for system of 5 units are compared with results obtained using Lagrangian Relaxation and Dynamic Programming.

본 논문은 설비 설치비용과 판매단가로 구성된 다수의 구매처 입찰정보로부터 구성품을 구매함에 있어 최소의 비용으로 구매하기 위해 구매처와 구매 물량을 선정하는 입찰평가 문제를 다룬다. 이 문제에 대해 기존에 알려진 방법은 분기한정 법(BB)과 분기절단 법(BC)이 알려져 있다. 그러나 이들 방법으로 얻은 해가 최적 해가 되지 않는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 판매단가 순위 또는 설치비용 순위 우선 구매물량 배정원칙을 적용하여 초기 실현 가능 해를 얻고, 판매단가 또는 설치비용을 고려하여 물량을 이동(구매업체 변경)시키는 최적화를 수행하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법을 실험 데이터에 적용한 결과 BB와 BC에 비해 구매비용을 크게 절감할 수 있었다.

In operation room, the use of the C-arm unit is increasing. So, the radiation dose of the person who work in operation room was even more increased than before. Thus, this study is shown the measurement of expose dose and the way for decrease of the radiation dose by using the C-arm unit. The experiment was performed with the C-arm unit and used a phantom which is similar to tissue of the human body and fluoro-glass dosimeter for dose measurement. The expose dose were measured by the tube position(over tube, under tube) of the C-arm unit, distance(50, 100$\sim$200cm), direction(I, II, III, IV), runtime(1min, 3min), wearing of the apron. The radiation dose was decreased twice and three times at under tube rather than over tube. The I direction was measured 20$\sim$30% more than the others. The biggest expose dose is 50cm from center on distance. The expose dose is decreased to far from center. In case of Wearing of the apron, the radiation dose was decreased 60$\sim$90% by the distance. But there weren't change of the radiation dose by C-arm tube position. In present, by increasing the usage of the C-arm unit, the radiation dose is inevitable. So, this study recommends us to use the under tube of the C-arm unit. Also, Wearing of the apron is required for minimum of the radiation exposure.
