To reduce the possibility of longitudinal dynamic instability, called "POGO", in the liquid rocket system due to the feedback effect of a main structure and a fuel-feeding system, several different types of PSD(POGO Suppression Device) systems have been studied. In the present study, several different types of PSD were reviewed. Basically, all PSD systems can be categorized into two groups; a passive PSD or an active PSD. We can classify the passive PSD's into more detailed groups according to their compliance methods; localized compliance methods or distributed compliance methods. As a result of our intensive review on various PSD's, the gas-filled accumulator with a level control system is considered to be the most suitable one to suppress the POGO instability without mal-effects to the performance of a fuel-feeding system.ng system.

To operate Platform Screen Door (PSD) automatically, the operational data of PSD and the train must be interfaced properly. PSD and train are operated together by the signaling system in Automatic Train Operation (ATO) signaling system zone where interfaces are provided between PSD and train. However, the additional PSD interface system with train is required in train operating zone without the interface between PSD and train. For the PSD interface, the wireless communication system or the train status (train correct stop status / train door status) detection system has been used. Seoul Metro line No.2. has the PSD wireless communication system using 447MHz band RF. For the safety of PSD operation, it is required to prevent RF interference in the subway environment where many frequencies exist. In this paper, the PSD wireless communication system is developed using 2.4GHz band RF to prevent the interference of the wireless communication and increase the traffic of the PSD interface. Furthermore, the improved system can store, manage and display the PSD and train operational data using Human Machine Interface (HMI) in the train's driver cab.

Platform Screen Door(PSD) has been installed and operated at seoul subway line $1\sim4$ in the manual train operation mode(ATS/ATC) by SeoulMetro since 2005. SeoulMetro uses the wireless (RF) communication system and the train door detection system for the link between the train and PSD doors opening/closing motion in the manual train operation mode. For the convenience and safety of passengers, the train doors and the PSD doors opening/closing shall be synchronized as much as possible. In ATO(Automatic Train Operation) mode which provides the interface between train control system and PSD system, ATO signaling system makes the train doors and PSD doors open/close command signals systematically, so PSD doors can be opened/closed almost simultaneously with the train doors. But, in the manual train control(ATS/ATC) mode, PSD system needs to detect the train doors open/close operation and make PSD open/close command signals to actuate PSD doors. These PSD open/close commanding process cause time delay of PSD doors opening/closing motion in response to the train doors opening/closing motion. Sometimes the response delay time can be over 1 second, which is not proper to operate PSD, and need to be reduced This paper presents the reduction method of the PSD response delay time to improve the convenience and safety of passengers.

A PSD which cooperates with train door provides safety and convenience for passengers. In order to cooperate with train door, the PSD should interface between the PSD control system and the control units of train door. This interface is generally performed in signaling system(ATC/ATO), however, the lines which don't have the interface functionality in the signaling system, it is required to have additional "PSD inter face system" to communicate between train and PSD. In this paper, we propose a safe PSD interface methodology by discussing interlocked control between train door and PSD, recognition of accuracy stop point, troubleshooting logic and log of troubles and driver panel which are adopted in Inchon line1.

In this paper, we propose a low-cost and compact motion capture system which enables to play motion games in PS2(Play Station 2). Recently, motion capture systems which are being used as a part in film producing and making games are too expensive and enormous systems. Now days, motion games using common USB camera are slow and have two-dimension recognition. But PSD sensor has a few good points, such as fast and low-cost. In recently year, 3D motion capture systems using 2D PSD (Position Sensitive Detector) optic sensor for motion capturing have been developed. One is Multi-PSD motion capture system applying stereo vision and another is Single-PSD motion capture system applying optical theory ship. But there are some problems to apply them to motion games. The Multi-PSD is high-cost and complicated because of using two more PSD Camera. It is so difficult to make markers having omni-direction equal intensity in Single-PSD. In this research, we propose a new theory that solves aforementioned problems. It can measure 3D coordination if separated two marker's intensity is equal to. We made a system based on this theory and experimented for performance capability. As a result, we were able to develop a motion capture system which is a single, low-cost, fast, compact, wide-angle and an adaptable motion games. The developed system is expected to be useful in animation, movies and games.

The Platform Screen Door system(PSD) is scheduled to be installed on the platform of some subway stations in Seoul, Pusan, Kwang-Ju, Daejun and Daegu and all stations of Seoul Subway No 9. will equipped with PSD. On the other hand Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Speed(SMRT) that has operated the train automatically had finished the basic desic design and the execution drawing of PSD and installed successfully the PSD on the platforms in the Kimpo Airport station in Subway Line No 5. at dec. 2005. The exhibition operations of PSD has made the major contribution to build up the safe and optimum subway for the increasing customers. Nowadays PSD has operated on ATO sections and ATS sections. But in the case of closing the door manually in ATO sections, it would be delayed about 5 seconds in closing the door of PSD. Although the interface of PSD, train and the signal system is established automatically, we have to supplement technically on the interface between train, PSD and the ground signal interface equipments. Therefore I will center on the optimizing methods about the interfacing system between the train and the PSD, train and the signal system to overcome the above problems in this study.

This paper describes a monocular PSD-based motion capture sensor to employ with commercial video game systems such as Microsoft's XBOX and Sony's Playstation II. The system compact, low-cost, and only requires a one-time calibration at the factory. The system includes a PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) and active infrared (IR) LED markers that are placed on the object to be tracked. The PSD sensor is placed in the focal plane of a wide-angle lens. The micro-controller calculates the 3D position of the markers using only the measured intensity and 2D position on the PSD. A series of experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of our prototype system. From the experimental results we see that the proposed system's compact size, low-cost, ease of installation, and high frame rates are suitable for high speed motion tracking in games.

The effectiveness of the pogo suppression device (PSD) on the response of the piping system simulating the fuel (or oxidizer) supply lines of the rocket engines was investigated. The system response defined as the ratio of the flow rate to the pressure in the main tube was obtained for various PSD gas volumes $((0\~2)\times10^{-3}m^3)$ and three different baffle hole diameters (5, 50, 115mm). Existence of a gas volume in the PSD reduced the system resonance frequency. With a larger gas volume, the resonance frequency became lower, but only slightly, while the fluctuations of the main tube pressure and the flow rate damped down considerably. The resonance frequency decreased with the increase of the PSD inlet restriction (or the decrease of the baffle hole diameter), though slightly. However, with a larger inlet restriction, the PSD pressure wave showed a delayed response with the smaller amplitude compared to the pressure variation in the main tube.

The PSD (Platform Screen Door System) has been installed to enhance the passengers' safety. A total of 592 stations operate the PSD system, which is almost 71.8% of all stations in South Korea. This study compared the opening rate between the PSD and train door, and calculated the exact amount of passengers at peak time. In addition, the evacuation time was simulated by Pathfinder 2015 with the exact input data. Some of the high density stations have extremely high dangerous points about the passengers' evacuation at some situations by the PSD door opening rate. In particular, due to the interference of a fixed door, when it stops at 7 m less than the regular position, its opening rate becomes less than half of the normal state. To solve this problem, it should be made possible to open the fixed door by changing it to an emergency door or improving the PSD module system.
