This work presents fuel-optimal altitude maintenance of Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) spacecrafts experiencing non-negligible air drag and J2 perturbation. A pseudospectral (direct) method is first applied to roughly estimate an optimal fuel consumption strategy, which is employed as an initial guess to precisely determine itself. Based on the physical specifications of KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-2 (KOMPSAT-2), a Korean artificial satellite, numerical simulations show that a satellite ascends with full thrust at the early stage of the maneuver period and then descends with null thrust. While the thrust profile is presumably bang-off, it is difficult to precisely determine the switching time by using a pseudospectral method only. This is expected, since the optimal switching epoch does not coincide with one of the collocation points prescribed by the pseudospectral method, in general. As an attempt to precisely determine the switching time and the associated optimal thrust history, a shooting (indirect) method is then employed with the initial guess being obtained through the pseudospectral method. This hybrid process allows the determination of the optimal fuel consumption for LEO spacecrafts and their thrust profiles efficiently and precisely.

Resistance switching memory cells were fabricated using atomically dispersed Pt-$SiO_2$ thin film prepared via RF co-sputtering. The memory cell can switch between a low-resistance-state and a high-resistance-state reversibly and reproducibly through applying alternate voltage polarities. Percolated conducting paths are the origin of the low-resistance-state, while trapping electrons in the negative U-center in the Pt-$SiO_2$ interface cause the high-resistance-state. Intermediate resistance-states are obtained through controlling the compliance current, which can be applied to multi-level operation for high memory density. It is found that the resistance value is related to the capacitance of the memory cell: a 265-fold increase in resistance induces a 2.68-fold increase in capacitance. The exponential growth model of the conducting paths can explain the quantitative relationship of resistance-capacitance. The model states that the conducting path generated in the early stage requires a larger area than that generated in the last stage, which results in a larger decrease in the capacitance.

In manufacturing processes, various and suitable pulse shapes are required for the purpose of material processing and the pulseshape is regarded as a dominant factor due to the specific property of processing materials. Therefore, in this study, a variable pulse width, high duty cycle Pulse Forming Network(PFN) is constructed by time sequently. The power supply for this experiment consists of three switching circuits. The PFN elements operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV leakage transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence of properly phased and nested increments. We investigated laser pulse width as various delay time among three switching circuit. As a result, we tan obtain various laser pulse width from about 4ms to 10ms. The maximum laser pulse width obtained at this experiment was about 10ms at delay time of 4ms among each switching circuit.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the parallel operation of different switches in a DC/DC converter. In high power applications, multi-switch PWM power conditioners may be preferred despite a higher component count, due to the absence of low frequency filters, reduced switching losses and fault tolerance. The paper demonstrates how current sharing (CSH) and time sharing (TSH) lead to the reduction of switching stress in the parallel operation of switches in any converter. The solutions proposed in this study can be applied on different scales to other power conditioners for DC/DC converter systems. Discussions of the concepts, hypotheses and computer simulations are verified by 1 kW experimental results.

In this paper, we study fault-tolerant multicasting in multicomputers based on multistage interconnection networks (MIN’s). In addition to one-to-one routing among processing nodes, efficient multicasting has an important effect on the performance of multicomputers. This paper presents a multicasting algorithm to tolerate faulty switching elements. The proposed algorithm uses the cube encoding scheme to represent multicast destinations in MIN, and is based on a recursive scheme in order to bypass faults. This algorithm can route any multicast message to its own destinations in only two passes through the MIN containing several faulty switching elements. Moreover, we prove the correctness of our algorithm by exploiting well-known nonblocking property of MIN.

The switching system software is large scale, real-time multi-task system which requires high reliability. The reliability assessment of large-scale software is very important for the success of software development project. For this raeson, the software quality measurement is much more important. In this paper, we have learned about the software reliability, metho of the analysis of failure data and estimation of software quality. To estimate the software reliability, using the failure data found during of the system test. We apply the two software reliability growth models, named Goel-Okumoto(G-O) and S-shaped model, to estimate the software reliability. Also, we compared with the results and we reviewed fully not only development cycle but validation and verification of the test data, for each software versions. This paper presents a software reliability model that suitale the software development project and the activeity of quality control for the switching system.

In this paper, we propose a new signaling protocol as an extension of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) based PCE protocol for control carrier ethernet. The proposed protocol is not only compatible with the GMPLS PCE standard protocol, but also provides the topology discovery and configuration. In order to verify interoperability, we implement the proposed protocol as well as the system integrating functions including commercial system for testbed. In addition, we have simulated topology discovery test for proposed protocol performance.

Recently, the demonstration and research on the power transmission using high voltage DC such as HVDC(High Voltage DC), Smart Grid, DC transmission and distribution have been actively conducted. In order to control the power converter in high-voltage DC power transmission system, SMPS(Switching Modulation Power Supply) for power converter control using high-voltage DC input is essential. However, the demand for high-pressure SMPS is still low, so the development is not enough. In the low-output SMPS using the high-voltage input, it is difficult to achieve high efficiency due to the switching transient loss especially at light load. In this paper, we propose a new switching scheme for high power SMPS control for low output power. The proposed method can provide better efficiency increase effect in the light load region compared to the existing PWM method. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, a 40 W SMPS for HVDC MMC(Modulation Multi-level Converter) was designed and verified by simulation.

The objective of this study is to show practice example let student experience about concurrent servers based multi-processes and multi-thread among the principles of data communication in ICT(information and communications technology). For this, we first implement multi-process server(fork server) and multi-thread server(thread server), and multi-thread client(thread client), Secondly, for experimental environment, we developed small ethernet networks and measure data transfer time with relation to the number of users. Experimental results show that mean transfer time of thread server is less than that of fork server by 20~61 % on average. Furthermore, it is found that the difference of data transfer time between fork server and thread server is proportional to that of the number of users. Main reason of performance difference dues to the difference between process forking time and thread creation time. We can also find that context switching for process and thread affects the load of web server. Our presentation and experimental results can be applied to used as the educational practice materials with which student can experience data communication principles.
