In this paper, the decoupled neural network reference compensation technique (DRCT) is applied to the control of a two degrees-of-freedom inverted pendulum mounted on an x-y table. Neural networks are used as auxiliary controllers for both the x axis and y axis of the PD controlled inverted pendulum. The DRCT method known to compensate for uncertainties at the trajectory level is used to control both the angle of a pendulum and the position of a cart simultaneously. Implementation of an on-line neural network learning algorithm has been implemented on the DSP board of the dSpace DSP system. Experimental studies have shown successful balancing of a pendulum on an x-y plane and good position control under external disturbances as well.

최근 인터넷 쇼핑몰에 대한 연구는 초기 쇼핑몰 구축설계 기법 및 보안, 인증 등에 대한 관심을 넘어서 인터넷 쇼핑몰의 추진전략에 대한 연구로 확대되고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 경우에 인터넷 쇼핑몰 추진방식에 대한 단편적인 현황을 설명하는 수준에 그치고 있다. 특히, 실재 공간에서의 지원 활동이 차지하는 중요성에 대한 인식이 재평가되고 있으나, 이에 대한 연구의 추진은 거의 전무한 상황이다. 따라서 인터넷 쇼핑몰을 추진하고자 하는 기업이 수행하는 온라인(on-line) 및 오프라인(off-line) 활동의 특성과 이들 간의 균형을 위한 연구의 전략적 중요성이 매우 높다. 이에 본 연구에서는 성공적인 인터넷 쇼핑몰 사업을 추진하기 위한 전략 연구의 일환으로 사례분석을 통해 온라인상과 오프라인상의 균형된 시각을 수립하는 데 도움이 되는 프레임워크를 제시한다.

This paper presents alternatives for facilities planning and analyses them using simulation approach. For this purpose, hydro-cylinder production line was sampled as a case study. Several facilities planning alternatives are evaluated based on the several factors such as line balancing, equipment utilization, optimum number of equipments, inventory size, flow time, bottleneck machine, and productive capacity. An optimal facilities planning is proposed based on the degree of meeting with the all factors evaluated. The simulation language employed in this study is SIMAN and the data used for simulation are provided by hydro-cylinder shop.

The purpose of this study is to develop the program for efficient operation of a multi-functional surface mounting device(SMD) which mount various components on a printed circuit board(PCB). These components are provided by diverse types of feeders such as cassette, stick and tray feeders. The SMD has one or two heads. In the SMD, the positions of PCB and feeders and fixed, and the head moves to pick up a component from a feeder and to mount it on the PCB. The number of lanes occupied by each feeder and the nozzle used for each component can be different. We develop an off-line program to minimize the cycle-time of the SMD by studying the optimal assignment of feeders and the optimal mounting sequence of components. Graphical User Interface(GUI) is also developed. Additionally, we consider the line balancing problem which appears when two SMDs are used sequentially.

In this paper, we propose new on-line processor management algorithms that manage heterogeneous multimedia services while maximizing energy efficiency. These online management mechanisms are combined in an integrated scheme for higher system performance and energy efficiency. The most important feature of our proposed scheme is its adaptability, flexibility and responsiveness to current network conditions. Simulation results clearly indicate the superior performance of our proposed scheme to strike the appropriate performance balance between contradictory requirements.

Contemporary power systems demand efficient and sustainable technologies. Single-phase induction motors, while widely used, face efficiency challenges due to inherent rotor losses. Proposed solutions include the Line-start Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (LSPMSM), leveraging permanent magnets for enhanced energy density but facing demagnetization and cost issues. Alternatively, the Line-start Synchronous Reluctance Motor (LSRM) operates as a hybrid motor without permanent magnets, reducing rotor losses and potentially improving efficiency. This paper focuses on designing an LSRM rotor for air conditioner compressors, analyzing start-up characteristics and efficiency through finite element analysis. A comparative study with single-phase induction motors provides insights for future motor technology selection, balancing efficiency and other requirements.

The variable sampling inspection scheme with screening for the purpose of assuring the upper limit of maximum expected surplus loss after inspection has been proposed. In this inspection scheme, it has been assumed that a product lot consists of products manufactured through a single production line and lot quality characteristics follow a normal distribution. In the previous literature with respect to inspection schemes, it has been commonly assumed that lot quality characteristics obey a single normal distribution under the condition that all products are manufactured in the same condition. On the other hand, the production line is designed in order that the workload of respective processes becomes uniform from the viewpoint of line balancing. One of the solutions for the bottleneck process is to arrange the workshops in parallel. The lot quality characteristics from such a production line with the process consisting of some parallel workshops might not follow strictly the single normal distribution. Therefore, we expand an applicable scope of the above mentioned variable sampling inspection scheme with screening in this article. Concretely, we consider the variable sampling inspection with screening for the purpose of assuring the upper limit of average outgoing surplus quality loss in the production lots when the lot quality follows the mixed normal distribution.

A bucket-brigade is a way of transporting items where items are passed from one person to the next. The operation of the bucket brigade imitates the cooperative behavior of ants when brood, food or other resources are moved. Koo (2009) presented a bucket brigade-based assembly cell where each worker follows a simple rule: perform assembly operations on a product until the next worker downstream takes it over; then go back to the previous worker upstream to take over a new assembly job. In this way, the flow line is self-balanced without any predetermined job assignment. However, there are some productivity losses related to hand-off and blocking. This paper examines the hand-off and blocking losses and presents a new bucket brigade-based assembly cell where working areas for each assembler is restricted with the help of buffer interfaces. Simulation experiments are used to validate the performance of the new assembly system.

To prevent an insulator failure, an automatic cleaning robot was developed for suspension insulator strings. The robot autonomously moves along the insulator string using the clamps installed on its two moving frames, and adopts a dry cleaning method using rotating brushes and a circular motion guide. In addition, a mechanized brush bristles and a voltage-balancing contactor are devised to increase cleaning efficiency and to prevent arc generation under live-line conditions, respectively. Moreover, a manual tool for its installation and removal is presented. We confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.
