This paper presents a novel approach to economic dispatch (ED) with nonconvex fuel cost function as combinatorial optimization problems (COP) while most of the conventional researches have been developed as function optimization problems (FOP). One nonconvex fuel cost function can be divided into several convex fuel cost functions, and each convex function can be regarded as a generation type (G-type). In that case, ED with nonconvex fuel cost function can be considered as COP finding the best case among all feasible combinations of G-types. In this paper, a genetic algorithm is applied to solve the COP, and the $\lambda$-P table method is used to calculate ED for the fitness function of GA. The $\lambda$-P table method is reviewed briefly and the GA procedure for COP is explained in detail. This paper deals with three kinds of ED problems, namely ED considering valve-point effects (EDVP), ED with multiple fuel units (EDMF), and ED with prohibited operating zones (EDPOZ). The proposed method is tested for all three ED problems, and the test results show an improvement in solution cost compared to the results obtained from conventional algorithms.

Recently, along with the innovative development of wireless communication techniques and mobile devices, mobile P2P services in mobile wireless networks have gained a lot of attention. In this paper, we propose a resource discovery scheme with data dissemination over mobile P2P networks. In the proposed scheme, each peer manages a local information table, a resource index table, and a routing table in a local database to enhance the accuracy and cost of resource discovery. The local information table stores the status of a mobile peer, and the resource index table stores the resource information of the neighbor peers via the ranking function. The routing table is used to communicate with the neighbor peers. We use a timestamp message to determine whether or not the resource index table will be changed before the resource information is exchanged. Our ranking function considers the interest and mobility of the mobile peer and prioritizes the resource information transmitted from the neighbor peers. It is shown via various experiments that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing scheme.

Purpose: In case of existing building, A lot of attempts are being made like changing thermal system or using high efficiency products to decrease energy load and increase energy efficiency. However, (1) Absence of systemed database of green-remodeling technology and products. (2) Absence of comparative analysis system and qualitative/quantitative evaluation method of energy performance and energy reduction cost. (3) Existing remodeling was very hard to access for non-experts. So, in this paper, the authors developed data base for green-remodeling(Impact Table A, Impact Table B) and optimum combination dedication tool for user convenience. Accordingly, purpose of this paper validate usefulness of Impact Table and optimum alternative dedication tool. Method: For validate the usefulness of Impact Table and optimum combination dedication tool, the authors selected five test model office buildings. Next, through research investigation, the authors diagnosed the present state of buildings. In base of diagnosis results, select technologies for remodeling by qualitative comparison (Impact Table A). Next, evaluate quantitative price and performance technologies that selected in Impact Table A (Impact Table B). Lastly, through final evaluation of Impact Taba A and Impact Table B, determine the direction of the green-remodeling. Result: Impact Table and optimum combination dedication tool can use relative indicator for green-remodeling, especially through ROI by detail field.

Various optimization techniques are deployed in the compilation process of a source program for improving the program's execution speed and reducing the size of the source code. Of the optimization pattern matching techniques, the string pattern matching technique involves finding an optimal pattern that corresponds to the intermediate code. However, it is deemed inefficient due to excessive time required for optimized pattern search. The tree matching pattern technique can result in many redundant comparisons for pattern determination, and there is also the disadvantage of high cost involved in constructing a code tree. The objective of this paper is to propose a table-driven code optimizer using the DFA(Deterministic Finite Automata) optimization table to overcome the shortcomings of existing optimization techniques. Unlike other techniques, this is an efficient method of implementing an optimizer that is constructed with the deterministic automata, which determines the final pattern, refuting the pattern selection cost and expediting the pattern search process.

In this paper, the dynamic response of a CNC 5 Axles machining center was analyzed and then controlled passively by using the dynamic absorber. For the simplification of the theoretical approach, the CNC 5 Axles machining center was modeled as a flexible beam(Bed) having a point mass(Column), two discrete systems(a Table-set and a dynamic absorber). Specifically by using the dynamic absorber, the dynamic response of a Table-set which be caused by the vibration of a flexible beam, was reduced down to the infinitesimal level. The optimal design factors of the dynamic absorber were obtained from the minimization of the cost function. It was found that the natural frequencies of a UT-380 machining center be varied due to the movement of the Table-set. In view of the dynamic response of a Table-set, the larger spring stiffness and mass of the dynamic absorber were found to give the greater reduction.

Full-scale seismic retrofit of old and deteriorated masonry buildings requires a lot of cost and time. In such buildings, installing an emergency evacuation space can be considered as an alternative. In this study, requirements of the earthquake-proof table used as an emergency evacuation space for buildings hit by earthquake are investigated. Load conditions required for the table, including the impact effects due to building debris drop, are explained. To investigate the impact effects in more detail, weight drop test is performed for an prototype earthquake-proof table. In the test, the weight of the falling object and free fall height were considered as the main test parameters. The results showed that the duration of impact is very short (0.0226~0.0779sec), and thus the impact forces increase to 15.8~45.2 times the weight of the falling object. Based on these results, design considerations and performance verification criteria of the earthquake-proof table as an emergency evacuation space are given.

The 5 working day's a week increase to fixed cost. Specially, the small & medium size company more increase to manufacturing cost. The introduction of 5 working day's rule influence to labor cost in manufacturing cost. Also, it make disappearance to fixed cost of 0.5 working day. Almost manufacturing company expect to have difficulty in product cost. The case of japan, many manufacturing company move to Asian countries after introduction of 5 working day's a week rule. The purpose of this study are the analysis of change product cost and suggest to solutions of productivity for a type of industries..

The evaluation test for the operation of rotary type surface mounters which consist of the reel axis, the index table and the X-Y table, has been performed by comparing the new method with the old one in only fields. Because the problem seeking for the optimal operation of rotary type surface mounters, is NP complete, it is almost impossible to get the optimal solutions of large problems. This paper deals with a dynamic network modeling, which can reduce the effort, the cost, and the time used for the performance test of rotary type surface mounters.

The function-cost matrix table is not constant, but can be changed by many factors including equipment capacity, level of production technique, fluctuation of production volume, and the continuous development of products. Such changes would give the VE analysists additional work burden. By using computer. in this study, much of the time and effort of the function evaluation could be saved, and the efficiency of the analysis could also be enhanced. The application of the function evaluation data of R Company, as a case analysis, to the function evaluation computer program developed in this study resulted in the faster management of function-cost matrix table and function evaluation.
