This paper present the design of a novel neural-network (NN) based pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques for a three-level power converter of electric trains along with nonlinear mapping of essential switching patterns and fault tolerance, which are inherent characteristics of NNs. Considering the importance of safety, power factor and harmonics of electric train power converters, two-level type and three-level type of power converters using NNs are precisely investigated and compared in computer simulation. A computer simulation shows that a new current control scheme provides an improved performance over a fixed-band hysteresis current control in many aspects.

Generally, grounding systems are responsible for the safe operation of a power system. Their performance guarantees equipment protection and personnel safety under condition of the limited ground potential rise and touch voltages as well as step voltages under ground fault conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the ground resistance frequently for checking the performance of grounding system, In this paper the ground resistance measuring system using digital signal processor and high-performance L-C resonant band pass filter is presented. The signal current magnitude for measuring ground resistance in this system is $10^{-1}[A]\;to\;5\times10^{-2}[A]$ and the current frequency is 30[Hz].

Spatio-temporal distributions of nighttime fishing fleets were described with the aid of geographic information system (GIS) technology in the East Sea, using daily mean composite images of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) /Operational Linescan System (OLS) in 1993 and 1994. We selected a study area from 30$^{\circ}$N to 44$^{\circ}$N in latitude and from 124$^{\circ}$E to 142$^{\circ}$E in longitude in order to describe the monthly and seasonal changes of nighttime fishing fleets. The OLS images of nighttime visible band provide useful information about the spatio-temporal distribution of the fishing fleets. Density areas of nighttime fishing fleets were around Tsushima/Korea Strait. the east coast of the Korea Peninsula, the coast of Honshu, and around Yamato Bank.

In this paper, we first introduce a Koinonia technology. Then we present a wireless Digital Video Recorder (DVR) system based on the Koinonia technology. In addition we implement the wireless DVR system, which is composed of Wireless DVR-Slave (WDVR-S), Wireless DVR-Access Point (WDVR-AP), and Wireless DVR-Emergence Management System (WDVR-EMS). Also we present the acquired Korea Communication Commission (KCC) mark for the last products. The developed system will give a hint that the Koinonia technology can be adopted in wireless DVR systems to handle safety and security issues.

In this paper, we developed a Zigbee module based on CC2520 which is possible to construct the mesh network and also support to Zigbee Pro standard as a preceding research of autonomous moving of mobile robot using Zigbee. After manufacturing the Zigbee module, we selected antenna to fit Zigbee wireless frequency band using network analyze as means performance improvement. We also carry out an impedance matching of Zigbee module, extend the possible distance of two-way wireless communication and ensure the safety of communication.

In this study, development of new sound absorbent which is safety, economical and efficient with using recycled materials is tried for substitution of commercial sound absorbent. The sound absorbents, used in this investigation, were made of used paper or filters of cigarette butts. With the variation of the material densities, sound absorptions of materials were measured. The impedance tube method is used for measuring sound absorption coefficient of the new sound absorbent materials. The measured frequency range was 250Hz to 4000Hz in 1/3 octave band. The sound absorption coefficient of the commercial materials and that of the materials synthesized in the our laboratory show almost same value.

Nonlinear temperature distribution induced by the hydration heat generates thermal stress in mass concrete. At early ages, such thermal stress may induce thermal cracks in the structure which can affect on the durability and safety of the structure. Up to now, a lot of works have focused on the prediction of temperature distribution and thermal stress in the structure. In most of such works, however, the inside of structure was considered as adiabatic state to predict temperature distribution and the thermal stress. And due to the lacks of appropriate analysis models after crack, there was little research on the crack occurrence. This paper deals with the prediction of the temperature distribution in the structure using the rate of hydration heat generation and also estimates the behavior of structure before and after cracking due to hydration heat using crack band model.

Grounding rods as a discharge path are normally used to ensure the safety of human beings and facilities from the over-voltages and the over·current. Each grounding mode class 1, class 2, class 3, special class 4- has prescribed ground resistance values which are kept by the utilities. However, in the distribution system, it is very difficult for grounding rods to obtain the prescribed ground resistance values because of the limits of installation space. Therefore, in this paper, the grounding effects of the grounding copper bands which are recently developed to use efficiently in small area and the grounding rods are compared by testing the ground resistance values, ground potential rise(GPR), and step voltage in various cases.

A variety of methods for indoor positioning systems have been underway to ensure the safety of emergency rescuers who are working in dangerous situations such as fire fighters. However, since most systems display locations of rescue workers in two-dimension (2D)-based maps, it is difficult for a commander located in the outside to recognize locations of rescuers inside the building intuitively. An augmented reality (AR)-based indoor positioning monitoring system can display locations of rescuer inside the building that can be seen by commanders to help intuitive recognition of positioning. To monitor AR-based indoor positioning, it is necessary to have an estimation technique of line of sight vector of observers. In the present study, an estimation technique of a line of sight vector using ultra-wide band tranceiver installed inside the indoor to trace locations is presented.

CBTC (Communication Based Train Control) is a railroad system, using wireless communication for data transmission between on-board units and ground units, that makes ground computer periodically collect position and speed data from each train and transmits the preceding train's distance data up to speed limit point so as to make on-board control unit control the optimum train speed. Due to the fact that wireless communication system for train control employs only limited frequency band and output frequency, a number of ground communication units should be installed at track-side; also a running train should carry out Handover function which maintains the communication by accessing a new communication channel of the adjacent on-board communication units in accordance with the output of received radio wave. Especially CBTC is largely dependent on Handoff function between ground communication units. Therefore, this paper provides the method of identification of hazard between ground communication units and on board units.
