This paper proposes an active frequency with a positive feedback in the d-q frame anti-islanding method suitable for a robust phase-locked loop (PLL) algorithm using the FFT concept. In general, PLL algorithms for grid-connected PV PCS use d-q transformation and controllers to make zero an imaginary part of the transformed voltage vector. In a real grid system, the grid voltage is not ideal. It may be unbalanced, noisy and have many harmonics. For these reasons, the d-q transformed components do not have a pure DC component. The controller tuning of a PLL algorithm is difficult. The proposed PLL algorithm using the FFT concept can use the strong noise cancelation characteristics of a FFT algorithm without a PI controller. Therefore, the proposed PLL algorithm has no gain-tuning of a PI controller, and it is hardly influenced by voltage drops, phase step changes and harmonics. Islanding prediction is a necessary feature of inverter-based photovoltaic (PV) systems in order to meet the stringent standard requirements for interconnection with an electrical grid. Both passive and active anti-islanding methods exist. Typically, active methods modify a given parameter, which also affects the shape and quality of the grid injected current. In this paper, the active anti-islanding algorithm for a grid-connected PV PCS uses positive feedback control in the d-q frame. The proposed PLL and anti-islanding algorithm are implemented for a 250kW PV PCS. This system has four DC/DC converters each with a 25kW power rating. This is only one-third of the total system power. The experimental results show that the proposed PLL, anti-islanding method and topology demonstrate good performance in a 250kW PV PCS.

This study was performed to identify the current status of work environment management and to provide appropriate recommendations for small scale industry with less than 5 workers from September, 2000 to October, 2000 in Seoul city and Gyoung-gi province. The 211 companies were surveyed by checklist included the elements of management of work environment, hazardous chemicals, MSDS, personal protective equipment, and ventilation system. The proportion of metal products manufacturing and printing industries are 25.6 % and 22.3%, respectively. The daily working hours in printing industry is longer than others. The industries that produce potentially hazardous agents, such as noise, dust, metal, organic solvents, radiation and chemical material are pulp, plating, machinery, and printing, respectively. In above industries, only 2.8 % of those recognised and had MSDS. The proportion of companies providing fire extinguishers, safety showers are found to be 13.3 %, 7.1 %, respectively. Only 24.2 % of companies provided personal protective equipment to the workers. The ventilation system was operated in most of companies. But local exhaust ventilation system is provided to 22.3 % of those, also had not been annually inspected. This study showed that the current status of occupational safety and health was not appropriate for workers in small scale industries. It is suggested that annual physical examination have to be performed, MSDS usage must become widespread, and employer and emplyees in small scale industry should be educated for the treatment and storage of hazardous chemicals to improve the occupational safety and health of the working environment. also, regulatory standard has to be applied to local exhaust ventilation system in small scale industry to improve the working condition.

For the problem of cross-layer joint resource allocation (JRA) in the Long-Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced standard using carrier aggregation (CA) technology, it is difficult to obtain the optimal resource allocation scheme. This paper proposes a joint resource allocation algorithm based on the weights of user's average quality of experience (JRA-WQOE). In contrast to prevalent algorithms, the proposed method can satisfy the carrier aggregation abilities of different users and consider user fairness. An optimization model is established by considering the user quality of experience (QoE) with the aim of maximizing the total user rate. In this model, user QoE is quantified by the mean opinion score (MOS) model, where the average MOS value of users is defined as the weight factor of the optimization model. The JRA-WQOE algorithm consists of the iteration of two algorithms, a component carrier (CC) and resource block (RB) allocation algorithm called DABC-CCRBA and a subgradient power allocation algorithm called SPA. The former is used to dynamically allocate CC and RB for users with different carrier aggregation capacities, and the latter, which is based on the Lagrangian dual method, is used to optimize the power allocation process. Simulation results showed that the proposed JRA-WQOE algorithm has low computational complexity and fast convergence. Compared with existing algorithms, it affords obvious advantages such as improving the average throughput and fairness to users. With varying numbers of users and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), the proposed algorithm achieved higher average QoE values than prevalent algorithms.

배관시스템의 불안정한 유동에 의해 생성되는 수격현상은 관내 압력의 과도한 변화, 진동 및 소음을 일으킬 수 있다. 이러한 수격현상은 관로, 펌프 및 밸브등의 시설물에 기계적인 사고를 유발시키는 원인이 되기도 한다. 한편, 국내에서는 수격현상으로 인한 피해를 최소화하기 위하여 수격흡수기를 제조 및 사용하여 왔으며, 그동안 별도의 기준이 없어 저가 위주로 생산 및 설치되어 왔다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 수격흡수기 성능에 대한 최소 가이드라인을 제시하기 위하여, 하나의 배관으로 검증 가능한 시험방법, 수계소화설비에서 수격발생을 가정한 시험방법, 개방충격압과 차단충격압으로 구분한 흡수시험 방법, 배관을 분기한 시험시설 구성 방법 등의 다양한 방법들을 통하여 수격흡수기의 성능을 기준화 할 수 있는 방법등에 대하여 고안하였다. 그리고, 최종적으로는 U자형 배관과 시험용 추를 이용한 간단한 기계적 방식으로 수격흡수기의 수격압 흡수성능을 검증할 수 있는 실험 장치를 최초로 고안하여, 소방용 수격흡수기의 인정기준이 제정되었다.

본 논문에서는 기울기와 밝기값 분포 정보를 고려하여 전립선 객체를 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 네 단계로 이루어진다. 첫째, 일정 간격으로 방사선을 생성한다. 이 때, 방사선의 시작 위치와 길이를 산정함으로써 잡음의 영향을 최소화 한다. 둘째, 방사선에서 얻은 프로파일을 기울기 기준으로 경계점 후보들을 정렬하고 정렬 된 순서에 따라 우선순위를 부여한다. 셋째, 기울기 우선순위와 자기값 분포를 사용하여 경계점을 추출한다. 마지막으로 경계점 추출 오류를 줄이기 위하여 추출된 경계점을 B-스플라인 보간으로 보정한다. 정확성 평가를 위하여 전문가가 수동 분할한 결과와 본 제안방법을 적용하여 얻은 결과간 평균거리차이 측정과 중복지역비율 측정을 수행한다. 실험결과 평균거리차이는 1.09mm, 표준편차는 $\pm0.20mm$로 측정되었고, 중복지역비율은 92%로 측정되었다.

The Terra-Scope system is an affordable 4-D down-hole seismic monitoring system based on independent, microprocessor-controlled sensor Pods. The Pods are nominally 50 mm in diameter, and about 120 mm long. They are expected to cost approximately $6000 each. An internal 16-bit, extremely low power MCU controls all aspects of instrumentation, eight programmable gain amplifiers, and local signal storage. Each Pod measures 3-D acceleration, tilt, azimuth, temperature, and other parametric variables such as pore water pressure and pH. Each Pod communicates over a standard digital bus (RS-485) through a completely web-based GUI interface, and has a power consumption of less than 400 mW. Three-dimensional acceleration is measured by pure digital force-balance MEMS-based accelerometers. These accelerometers have a dynamic range of more than 115 dB and a frequency response from DC to 1000 Hz with a noise floor of less than $30ng_{rms}/{\surd}Hz$. Accelerations above 0.2 g are measured by a second set of MEMS-based accelerometers, giving a full 160 dB dynamic range. This paper describes the system design and the cooperative shared-time scheduler implemented for this project. Restraints accounted for include multiple data streams, integration of multiple free agents, interaction with the asynchronous world, and hardened time stamping of accelerometer data. The prototype of the device is currently undergoing evaluation. The first array will be installed in the spring of 2006.

Recent changes in the construction method of piles to minimize noise, along with the development of high-strength reinforcement, have provided an economical high performance RC pile development to compensate for the disadvantages of existing PHC piles. In this study, a methodology for the development of cross - section details of high performance RC piles of various performances is presented by freely applying high strength steel and concrete. This study suggested a technique for calculating bending moments for a given axial force corresponding to the allowable crack widths and this can be used for serviceablity check. In calculating the design shear force, the existing design equation applicable to the rectangular or the I section was modified to be applicable to the hollow circular section. In particular, in the limit state design method, the shear force is calculated in proportion to the axial force, and the procedure for calculating PV diagram is established. Last, the section details are determined through PM diagrams that they have the similar flexural and axial-flexural performances of the PHC pile A, B and C types with a diameter of 500 mm. To facilitate the application of the selected standard sections to the practical tasks, the design PM diagram and design shear forces are proposed in accordance with the strength design method and limit state design method.

As the number of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) patients increases in a global pandemic situation, the usefulness of mobile computed tomography (CT) is gaining attention. Currently, mobile CT follows the basic safety and essential performance evaluation criteria of whole-body or limited-view X-ray CT in order to obtain device approval and evaluation in the Republic of Korea. Unlike stationary CT, mobile CT is not operated in shielded areas but rather areas such as intensive care units, operating rooms, or isolation rooms. Therefore, it requires a different basic safety and essential performance evaluation standard than stationary CT. In this study, four derived basic safety evaluation criteria related to electrical, mechanical, and radiation safety were included (dose indication test, protection against stray radiation, safety measures against excessive X-rays, half-value layer measurement); and seven essential performance evaluation criteria were included (tube voltage accuracy, mAs accuracy, radiation dose reproducibility, CT number of water, noise, uniformity, and spatial resolution); total eleven basic safety and essential performance evaluation criteria were selected. This study aims to establish appropriate basic safety and essential performance evaluation criteria for simultaneously obtaining images with diagnostic value and reducing the exposure of nearby patients, medical staff, and radiologic technologists during the use of mobile CT.

머신러닝은 학습 데이터로부터 목적함수를 구성하고, 테스트 데이터를 통해 목적함수의 확인함으로써 발생하는 데이터에 대한 예측을 수행한다. 머신러닝에서 입력데이터는 전처리 과정을 통해 정규화 과정을 거친다. 이런 정규화는 입력데이터의 평균과 표준편차를 이용하여 표준화하거나, 수치 데이터가 아닌 nominal value는 one-hot 코드 형태로 변환하는 방식을 이용한다. 그러나 이 전처리 과정만으로 문제를 해결할 수 없다. 이러한 이유로 본 논문에서 입력데이터의 정규화를 위해 온톨로지를 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위한 테스트 데이터는 모바일 기기로부터 수집된 와이파이 장치의 RSSI값을 이용하고, 수집된 데이터의 노이즈와 이질적 문제는 온톨로지를 이용하여 정제하는 방법을 제시한다.
