This study evaluated the impedance characteristics of earth termination system and developed a variable frequency-typed inverter (measuring tool) for the utilization in ground design for lightning protection. The variable-frequency-typed inverter were composed of rectification part, voltage adjuster, IGBT controller and measuring part. Meanwhile, the square wave signal of variable frequency converted its frequency up to lightning surge band by using an IGBT after rectifying an alternating current (AC). It conducted performance evaluation of ground impedance of actual earth termination system by using the developed measuring tool for ground impedance and confirmed that such impedance-oriented performance evaluation was effective in the design of lightning protection.

Apartments covered with a metal roof made from galvalume steel are prevailing due to their economic and technical advantages. The metal roof, however, has disadvantages in terms of the installation of air-termination system on it because of the slip thickness of the metal roof. In this paper, the impacts of the lightning current to a metal roof were verified experimentally with a short lightning impulse current (10/350[${\mu}s$]). Also, we developed various supporters of air-termination conductor for the metal roof and verified their excellent workability and economical strength through field application test.

This paper describes the lightning arrester transients in cable head termination. The installation references of cable head tower and lightning arresters are firstly reviewed, then the performance of lightning arrester operation is also evaluated based on lightning overvoltage analysis by the change of grounding lead cable length. This paper finally proposes the optimal length of grounding lead cable at the cable head termination. The limited lightning current is also proposed according to the change of grounding lead cable length. The results will contribute to protecting insulation breakdown failure against lightning surge at the terminations and joints.

This paper deals with primary consideration in down-conductor system and earth-termination system design of apartments. For down-conductor system, steelworks within reinforced concrete apartment structures have the electrical continuity, however, lashing is not suitable for lightning-current-carrying connections. So this paper suggest that the additional dedicated conductors should be installed and they are should be lashed to the reinforcement steel. Also this paper suggested the foundation earth electrode and global earth system as the earth-termination system of the apartments. But perfect bonding system is essential in lightning protection system to avoid life hazard and to protect electronic equipments.

This paper introduces experimental investigates of an electrical accident of the distributing cable termination with simulated badness construction. We prepared two termination kites, one is built-up type, the other is heat contraction type. Also, we manufactured cable termination that have simulated defect by badness construction and measured their insulation characteristics such as ac (35kV, 1min) and impulse (95kV, $1.2{\times}50{\mu}s$) withstand test. The influence of defects such as thickness and the gap between stress-con of housing and semi-conductor on insulating properties of the termination have been studied. The thickness decrease of insulator decreases ac breakdown strength. Dielectric breakdown traces of insulator that is damaged by knife displayed other shape. The gap of between housing and semiconductor deteriorates dielectric strength of insulator seriously.

During the past few decades, the lightning protection angle (${\alpha}$) has been proposed through several technical matters, namely graphical technique, numerical data and mathematical equation respectively. Nevertheless, these techniques are very complicated, and are difficult to utilize because they also contain several constraints practically. Hence, this paper proposes a novel equation of the lightning protection angle, which is a simple correlation, concise and easy to be implemented. Furthermore, the reliable result of this equation can confirm accuracy through comparative analysis with all previous techniques. As a result, these solutions are altogether equivalent. This novel equation can analyze the lightning protection angle of the vertical air termination system installed at the vertex of the royal pagoda in a Khema-pirataram temple which is at high risk due to lightning flashes.

Operation and maintenance (OAM) in optical burst switching (OBS) networks has not yet been addressed even though OBS has been gaining research interest in recent years. In this paper, we defined five OBS functions such as Burst Termination (BT), Burst Transmission (BTX), Burst Switching (BSW), Routing and Switching Control (RSC), and Protection and Restoration (PAR). A functional model for OBS networks and an OAM architecture are designed to meet the operational requirements. We present the first framework to realize OAM in OBS networks, including OAM activities, OAM-capable OBS nodes such as ingress edge, core, and egress edge nodes, OAM information and communication models and protocols. A number of examples of possible network failures are pointed out and the corresponding reactions to these using the proposed OAM architecture are presented.

Convolutional codes which are terminated by direct truncation (DT) and zero tail termination provide unequal error protection. When DT terminated convolutional codes are used to encode short messages, they have interesting error protection properties. Such codes match the significance of the output bits of common quantizers and therefore lead to a low mean square error (MSE) when they are used to encode quantizer outputs which are transmitted via a noisy digital communication system. A code construction method that allows adapting the code to the channel is introduced, which is based on time-varying convolutional codes. We can show by simulations that DT terminated convolutional codes lead to a lower MSE than standard block codes for all channel conditions. Furthermore, we develop an MSE approximation which is based on an upper bound on the error probability per information bit. By means of this MSE approximation, we compare the convolutional codes to linear unequal error protection code construction methods from the literature for code dimensions which are relevant in analog to digital conversion systems. In numerous situations, the DT terminated convolutional codes have the lowest MSE among all codes.

This paper introduces experimental investigates of an accident pattern for the distributing XLPE cable terminations considering PL law environment. The influence of defects such as thickness and length decrease of XLPE, the impurity on XLPE and the gap between stress-con of housing and semi-conductor on insulating properties of the termination have been studied. The thickness and length decrease of XLPE decrease ac breakdown strengths. Dielectric breakdown traces of XLPE that is damaged by knife displayed other shape. The gap of between housing and semiconductor deteriorates dielectric strength of XLPE seriously.

According to the 「Child Welfare Act, Article 16(1)」, when the age of a child reaches 18, he or she is discharged from prison. However, in order to prepare an effective support posture from the central government and local governments, a clear fact-finding survey on children who have completed protection is necessary. Therefore, in this study, the most basic questionnaire on housing, health, education, employment, and social relations of children living in Cheonan City after completion of protection is required. An investigation was conducted. As a result, the housing and social relationship of children living in Cheonan city were good compared to children living in Cheonan city compared to children who completed protection nationwide. Therefore, it was found that it is urgent to establish a close cooperation system with related organizations in this regard.
