In biological cell manipulation, manual thrust or penetration of an injection pipette into an egg is currently performed by a skilled operator, relying only on visual feedback information. Massive load of various micro injection of either genes, fluid or cells in the postgenomic era calls a more reliable and automatic micro injection system that can test hundreds of genes or cell types at a single experiment. We initiated to study cellular force sensing in zebrafish eggs as the first step for the development of a more controllable micro injection system by any inexperienced operator. Zebrafish eggs at different developmental stages were collected and an integrated biomanipulation system was employed to measure cellular force during penetrating the egg envelope, the chorion. First of all, the biomanipulation system integrated with cellular force sensing instrument is implemented to measure the penetration force of cell membranes and characterize mechanical properties of zebrafish embryo cells. Furthermore, implementation of cellular force sensing system and calibration are presented. Finally, the cellular force sensing of penetrating cell membranes at each developmental stages was experimentally performed. The results demonstrated that the biomanipulation system with force sensing capability can measure cellular force at real-time while the injection operation is undergoing. The magnitude of the measured force was in the range of several hundreds of uN. The precise real-time measurement should provide the first step forwards for the development of an automatic and reliable injection system of various materials into biological cells.

To develop an efficient pump operating rule for a retard basin, it is necessary to estimate inflow to the retard basin accurately which is affected by the backwater effect at the outlet of the conduit. The magnitude of the backwater effect is dependent on the water depth of a retard basin; however, the depth is determined by the amount of inflow and outflow. Thus, a real time simulation system that is able to simulate urban runoff and the pump operation with the consideration of the backwater effect is required to estimate the actual inflow to a retard basin. With this system, the efficient pump operating rule can be developed to diminish the possible flood damage on urban areas. In this study, a realtime simulation system is developed using the SWMM 5.0 DLL and Visual Basic 6.0 equipped with EXCEL to estimate inflow considering the backwater effect. The realtime simulation can be done by updating realtime input data such as minutely observed rainfall and the depth of a retard basin. Using those updated input data, the model estimates actual inflow, the amount of outflow discharged by pumps and gates, the depth of each junction, and flow rate at a sewer pipe on realtime basis. The developed model was applied to the Joonggok retard basin and demonstrated that it can be used to design a sewer system and to estimate actual inflow through the inlet sewer to reduce the inundation risk. As results, we find that the model can contribute to establish better operating practices for the pumps and the flood drainage system.

With the general use of network, cyber terror rages throughout the world. However, IP Fragmentation isn\`t free from its security problem yet, even though it guarantees effective transmission of the IP package in its network environment. Illegal invasion could happen or disturb operation of the system by using attack mechanism such as IP Spoofing, Ping of Death, or ICMP taking advantage of defectiveness, if any, which IP Fragmentation needs improving. Recently, apart from service refusal attack using IP Fragmentation, there arises a problem that it is possible to detour packet filtering equipment or network-based attack detection system using IP Fragmentation. In the paper, we generate the real time access log file to make the system manager help decision support and to make the system manage itself in case that some routers or network-based attack detection systems without packet reassembling function could not detect or suspend illegal invasion with divided datagrams of the packet. Through the implementation of the self-managing system we verify its validity and show its future effect.

The O&M (Operation and Maintenance) phase of offshore plants with a long life cycle requires heavy charges and more efforts than the construction phase, and the occurrence of an accident of an offshore plant causes catastrophic damage. So previous studies have focused on the development of advanced maintenance system to avoid unexpected failures. Nowadays due to the emerging ICTs (Information Communication Technologies) and sensor technologies, it is possible to gather the status data of equipment and send health monitoring data to administrator of an offshore plant in a real time way, which leads to having much concern on the condition based maintenance policy. In this study, we have reviewed previous studies associated with CBM (Condition-Based Maintenance) of offshore plants, and introduced an algorithm predicting the next failure time of the compressor which is one of essential mechanical devices in LNG FPSO (Liquefied Natural Gas Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel). To develop the algorithm, continuous time Markov model is applied based on gathered vibration data.

Since the operation of an reft-turn actuated signal driven mainly by vehicles may increase the waiting time for walking, this signal causes inconvenience or stress to pedestrians. Therefore, in this study, the change in waiting time for walking before and after the application of an reft-turn actuated signal and the stress on the pedestrians were investigated through a questionnaire. The investigation showed that the waiting time for walking increased by 37% during non-peak time. Also the waiting time for walking of 62.1% of pedestrians became longer and 78% of them were stressed because of it. Meanwhile, simulation(VISSIM) showed that the vehicle travel speed slightly decreased to 1.07km/h(a 2.5% decrease), and the average waiting time for walking decreased by 15.51sec(a 28% decrease) with a pedestrian priority actuated signal. Therefore, it is expected that the pedestrian priority actuated signal can reduce the waiting time for walking and relieve pedestrian stress.

In order to support a large number of mobile stations (MSs) with statistical multiplexing in cellular networks, a random access scheme is widely used for uplink (UL) bandwidth request (BR). In the design of a random access based BR scheme, there are two important requirements: short connection delay and diverse Quality of Services (QoSs) support. Such requirements are crucial for IMT-Advanced systems like IEEE 802.16m to provide various types of fourth generation (4G) data services. IEEE 802.16m provides advanced UL BR schemes for non-real time polling service (nrtPS) and best-effort (BE) service to meet the requirements of short connection time and multiple QoS level support. In order to provide short connection time and multiple QoS support, three-step and differentiated BR procedures are adopted. In this paper, a novel modelling of IEEE 802.16m contention based BR scheme is proposed that uses a 2-dimensional discrete time Markov chain. Both the short access delay three-step BR procedures and normal five-step BR procedure are considered in the model. Our proposed model also incorporates the IEEE 802.16m differentiated BR procedure. With the proposed model, we extensively evaluate the performance of IEEE 802.16m BR for two different service classes by changing QoS parameters, such as backoff window size and BR timer. Computer simulations are performed to corroborate the accuracy of the proposed model for various operation scenarios. With the proposed model, accurate QoS parameter values can be derived for the IEEE 802.16m contention-based BR scheme.

The recent movement to deregulated and competitive electricity market reacquires new concepts against existing central dispatch in the system operation and pinning. As power systems tend to be operated more closely to their ultimate ratings, the role of SCOPF (Security Constrained Optimal Power flow) is changed and the importance for real-time security inhancement will be more increased i]1 the new and com partitive electricity market. This paper deals with the application of the SCOPF which makes possible the On-Line application. The security margin of power system truly is changed according to the conditions or configuration of power systems, therefore, the sensitivity factor reiated to the security is recalculated and the application should be updated in accordance with the state of power system. The goal of this paper is to obtain proper security through the effluent usage of the sensitivity and to apply this a1gorithm to system operation. The proposed mechanism has been tested on a sample system and the results show more secure conditions against critical contingencies.

Generally, genetic algorithm (GA) has too much time and space complexity when it is running in the typical processor. Therefore, we are forced to use the high-performance and expensive processor by this reason. It also works as a barrier to implement real device, such a small mobile robot, which is required only simple rules. To solve this problem, this paper presents and proposes enhanced processor-architecture for the faster GA processing. A typical processor architecture can be enhanced and specialized by two approaches: one is a sorting network, the other is a residue number system (RNS). A sorting network can improve the time complexity of which needs to compare the populations' fitness. An RNS can reduce the magnitude of the largest bit that dictates the speed of arithmetic operation. Consequently, it can make the total logic size smaller and innovate arithmetic operation speed faster.

object-oriented programming is used to develop next-generation telecommu- nications services running on the distributed processing environment. In order to test these services efficiently at the system-level during not only in the development phase but also in the operation phase, we define an embedded monitor service within the infrastructure to monitor the operation of the distributed programs, and describe a system-level test mechanism based on the monitor service. By separating the function of monitor server which monitors operations of objects and collects monitored data and that of tester which makes analysis and decides the sequence of test events, the invasive effect of monitoring can be minimized. At the same time, accurate diagnosis on the system can be achieve by exploiting the test mechanism. The mechanism, as a core component for the implementation of real-time fault-tol-erant systems, is applicable to general-purpose distributeded systems as well.

COSMOS system which was developed in Seoul for real-time signal control was designed to judge traffic condition for practicing signal operation. However, it occurs efficiency problem that stop line detection and queue length detection could not judge overflow saturation of street. For that reason, following research process GPS data of Seoul city's corporationowned taxi to calculate travel speed that excluded existing system of stop line detection and queue length detection. Also, "Research of calculating queue length by GPS data" which was progressed with following research expressed queue length. It is based on establishing algorithm of judging congestion situation. The algorithm was applied to a few areas where appeared congestion situation consistently to confirm real time traffic condition with established network.
