Three-dimensional integration technology results in area savings, platform power savings, and an increase in performance. Through-silicon via (TSV) assembly and manufacturing processes can potentially introduce defects. This may result in increases in manufacturing and test costs and will cause a yield problem. To improve the yield, spare TSVs can be included to repair defective TSVs. This paper proposes a new built-in self-test feature to identify defective TSV channels. For defective TSVs, this paper also introduces dynamic self-repair architectures using code-based and hardware-mapping based repair.

Recently, a product-matrix (PM) framework was proposed to construct optimal regenerating codes for homogeneous distributed storage systems (DSSs). In this paper, we propose an extended PM (EPM) framework for coding of heterogeneous DSSs having different repair bandwidths but identical storage capacities. Based on the EPM framework, an explicit construction of minimum remote-repair bandwidth regenerating (MRBR) codes is presented for a specific heterogeneous DSS, where two geographically different datacenters with associated storage nodes are deployed. The data reconstruction and regeneration properties of the MRBR code are proved strictly. For the purpose of demonstration, an example implementation of MRBR code is provided. The presented MRBR code is the first optimal strict-regenerating code for heterogeneous DSSs. In addition, our proposed EPM framework can be applied to homogeneous systems also.

This article presents an integrated modeling approach for coupled analysis of heat transfer and microstructure evolution in welding carbon steel. The modeling procedure utilizes commercial [mite element code ABAQUS/Standard as the platform for solving the equation of heat conduction. User subroutines that implement computational thermodynamics and kinetics models are integrated with the FEA code to compute the transient microstructure evolution. In this study, the integrated models are applied to simulate the hot-tap repair welding of carbon steel pipeline. Microstructural components are treated as user output variables. Based on the predicted microstructure and cooling rates, hardness distributions in the welds were also predicted. The predicted microstructure and hardness distribution were found in good agreement with metallographic examinations and hardness measurements. This study demonstrates the applicability of computational models for the development of welding procedure for in-service pipeline repair.

The existing ship repair tool management system based on hand writing has many problems such as frequent loss of tool and overdue. To solve this problem, same systems have adopted the bar-code system. However, the systems can't cope with a problem to substitute spurious tool for genuine one on bar-code damage. Therefore, additional validation steps are necessary in order to manage expensive ship repair tool. In this paper, we propose an image comparison method for ship repair tool management. To be more concrete, we propose a normalization method and determination conditions for image comparison to use characteristics of mobile device. The normalization method makes use of the characteristics of mobile device that provides functions of real time recording, overlapping and cropping images. The proposed method applies three conditions(sum of inner angles, size of angle, position of corner coordinates) into the comparison module. The implemented system shows good performance on change direction, lighting, size and etc. The accuracy is more than 95%.

A massive distributed storage system is the foundation for big data operations. Access latency performance is a key metric in distributed storage systems since it greatly impacts user experience while existing codes mainly focus on improving performance such as storage overhead and repair cost. By generating parity nodes from parity nodes, in this paper we design new XOR-based erasure codes hierarchical tree structure code (HTSC) and high failure tolerant HTSC (FH HTSC) to reduce access latency in distributed storage systems. By comparing with other popular and representative codes, we show that, under the same repair cost, HTSC and FH HTSC codes can reduce access latency while maintaining favorable performance in other metrics. In particular, under the same repair cost, FH HTSC can achieve lower access latency, higher or equal failure tolerance and lower computation cost compared with the representative codes while enjoying similar storage overhead. Accordingly, FH HTSC is a superior choice for applications requiring low access latency and outstanding failure tolerance capability at the same time.

Recently, software size and program code complexity have increased due to application to various fields of software. Accordingly, the existence of program bugs inevitably occurs, and the cost of software maintenance is increasing. In open source projects, developers spend a lot of debugging time when solving a bug report assigned. To solve this problem, in this paper, we apply SeqGAN algorithm to software bug repair. In detail, the SeqGAN model is trained based on the source code. Open similar source codes during the learning process are also used. To evaluate the suitability for the generated candidate patch, a fitness function is applied, and if all test cases are passed, software bug correction is considered successful. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed model, it was compared with the baseline, and the proposed model showed better repair.

Often, probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) approaches have been adopted to quantify the failure probabilities of Ni-base alloy components, especially due to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC), in a primary piping system of pressurized water reactors. In this paper, the key features of an advanced PFM code, PINEP-PWSCC (Probabilistic INtegrity Evaluation for nuclear Piping-PWSCC) for such purpose, are described. In developing the code, we adopted most recent research results and advanced models in calculation modules such as PWSCC crack initiation and growth models, a performance-based probability of detection (POD) model for Ni-base alloy welds, and so on. To verify the code, the failure probabilities for various Alloy 182 welds locations were evaluated and compared with field experience and other PFM codes. Finally, the effects of pre-existing crack, weld repair, and POD models on failure probability were evaluated to demonstrate the applicability of PINEP-PWSCC.

This study was investigated to develop process technology of laser cladding with austenite stainless steel for Weld Inlay repair of dissimilar metal weld in reactor vessel in/outlet nozzles. Weld Inlay experiments were performed by laser cladding repair system consisting of common manipulator, laser apparatus and welding process scheduler, etc. Single pass welding experiments were conducted in order to obtain the optimum welding process parameters for filler wires of ER309L and Alloy 52M before multi-layer laser cladding. Based on the above obtained results, multi-layer laser cladding experiments were carried out, and welding qualities for weld specimens were estimated by PT, OM, SEM and EDS analysis. Consequently, it was revealed that multi-layer laser cladding on austenite stainless steel using filler wires of ER309L and Alloy 52M could be possible to meet ASME Code standard without any weld defect.

The existing drainage facility management system is not systematically computerized, and it is difficult to manage each drainage facility on-site due to insufficient information and location management. Currently, in the current drainage system management, repair technicians recognize the information of the drainage facility by recognizing the QR code at the site. These methods have difficulty locating QR codes in the field, and the problem is that they incur additional maintenance costs due to loss and breakage of QR code attachments. The GPS-based drainage management system proposed in this paper stores and manages each drainage facility's data including GPS information, allowing applications to use the location and information of drainage facilities based on user location data.
