  • The outer diameter finishing grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors, is carried out by high-precision centerless grinding machines. In this study, the thermal characteristics of such a machine, for example, the temperature distribution, temperature rise, and thermal deformation, were estimated based on a virtual prototype and the heat generation rates of heat sources related to normal operating conditions. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed. hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The reliability of the predicted results was demonstrated using temperature characteristics measured from a physical prototype. The predicted and measured results indicated that this particular high-precision centerless grinding machine had very stable thermal characteristics.

  • 직접 통로(Direct Pass-through) 기반 GPU(Graphic Processing Unit) 가상화 기법은 클라우드 환경에서 가상머신에게 GPU 장치의 기능을 지원하기 위한 일반적인 방법 중 하나이다. GPU 장치는 GPGPU 기술을 통해 연산을 가속화 할 수 있기 때문에 클라우드 환경에서도 가상머신에 고성능 연산을 지원하기 위해 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 기존 가상머신 스케줄링 기법은 가상머신의 CPU 사용 시간을 기반으로 스케줄링 되며, GPU 자원 사용을 고려하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 GPU와 CPU 연산을 수행하는 가상머신들이 동시에 실행되는 환경에서 성능 실험을 통해 가상머신의 GPU 연산이 다른 가상머신에게 미치는 성능 영향과 GPU 작업 길이가 다른 가상머신에게 미치는 영향을 분석한다.

  • The paper presents a monitoring system for the cooling of distribution transformers. The suggested system is controlled by a microcontroller scheme. The system is designed to control the oil temperature. It gives a solution to improve the cooling system by adding a number of fans especially for indoor transformers that are placed in badly-ventilated rooms. Also, the paper includes an alarm system with the possibility of tripping the transformer if it is necessary. The monitoring system consists of acquisition temperature sensor, and on-site unit. The hardware and software of the on-site unit are demonstrated with sufficient illustrations. Small prototype is constructed in the laboratory. Some laboratory experiments are carried out for examining the designed circuit by using Proteus Virtual System Modeling as well as for testing the prototype monitoring system. Concerning this research point, a study is carried out to evaluate the economic feasibility. The results are recorded and associated with many recommendations that may be valuable to electrical distribution (utility) companies.

  • With the development of micro -technology, the demand for micro actual ing device is increasing. But, it is difficult to achieve high resolution and wide bandwidth with the conventional contact systems. So, the contact-free systems which are suspended or levitated by magnetic force or air bearing were proposed. These systems can be applied to high precision stages and alignment apparatuses. This paper describes a magnetically suspended system with four degrees of freedom which are composed of three rotations (roll, pitch, yaw), and one translation ( z). The operating principle and the structure of the system are similar to variable reluctance type electric machines. In this study, the force analysis is executed using magnetic circuit and virtual work principle, and the equations that describe the dynamics of the system are presented. The multivariable PID controller is adapted to the system and the experiment is executed.

  • In many areas of technology there are machines and systems controllable in up to six degrees of freedom. Helicopters and underwater vehicles, industrial robots are among the first representatives of this category. They need six degrees of freedom in order to move and orient within their workspace. An even broader and more explosively growing area is 3D computer graphics and virtual environment. In this work, functions of 3D input device are described and two types of commercial 3D input device are presented. Then, a preliminary experiment of a low cost 6 axis force/moment sensor is presented that can also be sued as a 3D input device. A low cost force/moment sensor and its application in robot teaching experiment is described. It computes the direction of 3 components of the force and 3 components of the moment applied by human holding the sensor by hand. The concept is shown by an experiment where the tool position and orientation of a robot in 3 dimensional space is controlled by the proposed sensor.

  • This paper presents a robust motion tracking control of a cylinder-toggle servomechanism for injection molding machines. Virtual design model has been developed for a five-point type toggle mechanism. A sliding function is defined and combined with PID control to accommodate mismatches between the real plant and the linear model used. From tracking control simulations, it is shown that significant reduction in position tracking error is achieved with clamping force build-up through the use of proposed control scheme.

  • High-precision centerless grinding machines are emerging as a means of finishing the outer diameter grinding process required for ferrules, which are widely used as fiber optic connectors. In this study, a structural characteristic analysis and evaluation were carried out using a virtual prototype of a centerless grinding machine to realize systematic design technology and performance improvements required to manufacture ferrules. The prototype consisted of a concrete-filled bed, hydrostatic grinding wheel (GW) and regulating wheel (RW) spindle systems, a hydrostatic RW feed mechanism, a RW swivel mechanism, and on-machine GW and RW dressers. The loop stiffness values of the centerless grinding machine were estimated based on the relative displacements between the GW and RW caused by grinding forces. The simulated results illustrated that a concrete-filled bed considerably improved the structural stiffness and accuracy of a high-precision centerless grinding machine.

  • Implementation of a process control language for a pager manufacturing is dealt in this paper. The pager manufacturing process is consisted of a tune and an exam part. In the tune part, three capacitor trimmers are tuned to optimize the state of the pager. In the exam part, message receiving status with the arbitrary calling is tested using a vision system. The program has the ability to reuse the address discarded in the exam part when the, pager testing is not working properly even though there exist the processing gaps between two processes. The system is composed of a personal computer(PC586) and TEM-cells, Flex pager testers, an oscilloscope, a camera, and actuators. Visual Basic running on the Windows 95 is used to implement the control software which has the GUI to make an operator convenient. The validity of applying the completed program to practical machines, which are developing in the KITECH, is shown by using the virtual machine.

  • On-machine measuring system of Numerically Control(NC) machines permit computer control of basic material cutting processes of moulds. A part of mould designed within a CAD/CAM system can be manufactured by generation of tool paths by the measuring systems. Since the three-dimensional geometry by AutoCAD of the part is contained in the data base, the manufacturing specialist combined with the appropriate software simulation, can not only create the commands to drive the virtual measuring and standardization of measuring modules but also can check for mistakes by viewing the computer graphics simulation of the tool cutting sequence.

  • 클라우드 환경에서는 가상머신의 고성능 연산을 지원하기 위해 Graphic Processing Unit(GPU)를 사용한다. 가상머신들은 공평성을 위해 독립적인 가상머신 스케줄러를 사용하기 때문에 컴퓨팅 자원의 초과 사용으로 인한 성능 저하가 발생해도 동일한 작업을 수행하는 가상머신들의 성능은 균등하게 측정된다. 하지만 GPU 연산의 경우 다중 작업을 수행할 때 하드웨어 기반 스케줄러를 사용하며 가상머신의 입출력 작업을 위한 하이퍼바이저의 First In First Out(FIFO) 기반 스케줄링 기법으로 인해 가상머신 사이의 공평성을 보장할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 GPU 메모리를 초과 사용하는 환경에서 가상머신들의 성능을 측정하고 성능 불균형으로 인한 문제를 분석한다.
