The power wheelchair is an important and convenient mobility device. The demand of power wheelchair is increasing for assistance in mobility. In this paper we proposed a robotic wheelchair for mobility aid to reduce the burden from the disabled. The main issue in an autonomous wheelchair is the automatic detection and avoidance of obstacles and going to the pre-designated place. The proposed algorithm detects the obstacles and avoids them to drive the wheelchair to the desired place safely with panning scan from sensors of distance measurement and fuzzy control. By this way, the disabled will not always have to worry about paying deep attention to the surroundings and his path.

Centralized safety stock in a periodic replenishment system which consists of one central warehouse and m regional warehouse can reduce backorders allocating the centralized safety stocks to regional warehouse in a certain instant of each replenishment cycle. If the central warehouse can not monitoring inventories in the regional warehouse, then we have to predetermine the instant of allocation according to demand distribution and this instant must be same for all different replenishment cycle. However, transition of inventory level in each cycle need not to be same, and therefore different instant of the allocation may results reduced shortage compare to the predetermined instant of allocation. In this research, we construct a dynamic model based on the assumption of monitoring inventories in the regional warehouse everyday, and develop an algorithm minimize shortage in each replenishment cycle using dynamic programming approach.

This paper presents a method to determine parameters of BTB (back-to-back) converters in terms of the enhancement of interface flow margins. Interface flow margin is by definition a measure of how much active power can be transferred from the external areas to the study area with the fixed load demand, and it is mainly constrained by system voltage stability. BTB converters are controllable equipments with the active power flow through them, and its DC link in fact can divide the AC systems at the location and hence can reduce the fault current level. This paper first cals margin sensitivities at the nose point of F-V curves and formulates an optimization problem to update the BTB parameters to improve the margins. This procedure is repeated performed until the required margin enhancement is achieved.

Detection of data cleaning bed of because method of communication uses AODV(Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector) Zig-Bee communication though communication method is important being separated by several part structurally data monitor ring do it way to understand be. Although data that detect in transmitter will get into several kinds, data of each senses is detected by 4 - 20 mA conclusively and remainder data is consisted of temperature data. That is measured in transmitter in mast baud via conversion relation to do monitorring norm of data being decided to PC mistake of measured value so that can do control between enforcement compose. Speak that can manage equipment of cleaning bed by number of persons who write if detect data detection in wide cleaning bed through Zig-Bee communication and is easy because also administration of data consists of real time.

본 논문에서는 태양광 전원, 배터리, 마이크로터빈, 스마트 홈 등 다양한 목적과 특성을 가진 요소로 구성된 마이크로그리드를 효율적으로 제어, 관리하기 위한 분산 지능형 제어원리를 제안한다. 기존의 중앙집중식 제어원리는 중앙에서 전체 시스템에 대한 정보를 취득하여 운영에 대한 의사결정을 독점하는 구조였다면 제안하는 원리는 마이크로그리드의 구성요소가 각각 지능형 에이전트를 기반으로 스스로 데이터를 취득하고 이웃 에이전트와의 대화와 협조를 통해 분산제어를 수행하는 방식이다. 각 에이전트 사이는 근거리 무선통신 방식인 Zigbee를 이용하였고 마이크로그리드를 실시간으로 해석하기 위하여 MATLAB 기반의 실시간 시뮬레이터를 이용하였다. 실시간 마이크로그리드 시뮬레이션 모델과 에이전트 역할을 하는 마이크로 컨트롤러를 연계하여 Hardware-in-the-loop 기반의 데모시스템을 구축하였고 제안하는 원리에 대해 검증하였다.

In general, the output voltage level of a PV array varies widely at various irradiances and temperatures. The MPP (Maximum Power Point) range of a medium- or high-power PV PCS is normally 450~830Vdc or 300~600Vdc. This means the PV PCS should operate in a wide range of modulation indexes. The PV PCS should satisfy the harmonic current requirement that the TDD (Total demand distortion) shall not exceed 5%. This paper proposes a new PWM control method for a medium- or high-power PV PCS which increases the efficiency of power conversion in all operation ranges with acceptable harmonic ripple currents. This paper compares and analyzes appropriate PWM schemes for the PV PCS in the view points of conversion efficiency and current harmonics.

Driving the need for machine vision system is growing consumer demand for quality and defect-free products. Especially it is the most important in tarpaulin's manufacturing process achieves automatically by machine vision instead of by man vision. In this paper pinholes detection is performed by using morphology algorithms. Top hat transform is one of morphology applications. This transform take high performance of defect detection in the case that unexpected changes occur in some non-uniform background. For pinholes defect, automatic visual inspection system has been developed, which was composed by a line-scan camera, illumination, a frame grabber, a motor driver and control units. This system has excellent capacity to defect pinholes to the 0.1 mm by 0.5 mm in size and to work in moving objects by maximum 20 m/min in speed.

This paper presents a development of voltage compensation dc/dc converter to decrease fuel consumption of RTGC system. We used 3-phase interleaved converter, which has the same structure as the commercially available three-phase inverter, is used. RTGC system is supplied the power from diesel-engine generator. According to power demand, engine speed is varying 20~60Hz, and voltage is varying 210Vac ~ 480Vac. When idle mode or low power operation dc/dc converter operates by constant output voltage control. The perpormance of converter is evaluated through several experiments with a real RTGC. Proposed system can cut down fuel consumption by 36% at idle mode operation.

This study investigates two-stage return policy and recycling issues in an e-marketplace supply chain consisting of consumers, a retailer and a manufacturer. The manufacturer, a focal company in the e-marketplace supply chain, considers the recycling of commercial returns so offers the retailer a buy-back contract of which transfer payment consists of a wholesale price and a buy-back price. Then, under the given contract offer, the retailer determines a selling price and a return policy to control consumers' demand and return requests. We consider the retailer's opportunistic behavior and supply chain coordination issues based on the principal-agent paradigm. We compare the first-best and second-best optima and conduct comparative static analyses to evaluate the performance results of the buy-back contract and provide important managerial implications.

A commercial nuclear power station contains at least two emergency diesel generators(EDG) to control the risk of severe core damage during station blackout accidnets. Therefore, thereliability of the EDG's to start and load-run on demand must be maintained at a sufficiently high level. Until now, a simple assessment of start and load-run success rates was used to calculate the EDG reliability. However, this method has been found to contain many defects. Recently, the work of Martz et al.(1996) proposed the use of the Bayes estimator to find EDG reliability. Shim(1996) proposed a confidence interval for the Bayes estimator, compare the above two methods. In this paper, we introduce the notion of "Composite Reliablility" to estimate the reliability of nuclear-power plant EDG, and using practical examples, illustrate which method is more a, pp.opriate in our situation.situation.
