  • The passive safety systems (PSSs) within water-cooled reactors are meticulously engineered to function autonomously, requiring no external power source or manual intervention. They depend exclusively on inherent natural forces and the fundamental principles of reactor physics, such as gravity, natural convection, and phase changes, to manage, alleviate, and avert the release of radioactive materials into the environment during accident scenarios like a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). PSSs are already integrated into such operating commercial reactors as the Advanced Pressurized Reactor-1000 MWe (AP1000) and the Water-Water Energetic Reactor-1200 MWe (WWER-1200) are adopted in most of the upcoming small modular reactor (SMR) designs. Examples of water-cooled SMR PSSs are the passive emergency core-cooling system (ECCS), passive containment cooling system (PCCS), and passive decay-heat removal system, the designs of which vary based on reactor system-design requirements. However, understanding the accident-event progression and phases of a LOCA is pivotal for adopting a specific PSS for a new SMR design. This study covers the accident-event progression for direct vessel injection (DVI) small-break loss-of-coolant accident (SB-LOCA), associated physics phenomena, knowledge gaps, and important figures of merit (FOMs) that may need to be evaluated and assessed to validate thermal-hydraulics models with an available experimental dataset to support new SMR design and development.

  • 본 논문에서는 DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)를 사용한 무선 감시용 카메라를 위한 모뎀을 제안한다 무선 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 간섭과 다중 경로에 의한 오류 발생 확률 등을 고려해야 하고 또한 여러 대의 카메라를 설치하고 각각의 카메라로부터의 신호를 선택적으로 모니터하기 위해 각각의 신호를 구분할 수 있는 변조 방식의 사용이 필요하다. 이를 위해 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통한 성능 분석과 실제 FPGA설계 및 제작으로 이를 확인한다.

  • In general, systems contain uncertain elements in the real world; these may be parameters, constant or varying, that are unknown or imperfectly known. When the uncertainty is assumed to satisfy the matching condition and to be cone-bounded, Y.H. Chen[81 proposed an adaptive robust control algorithm which introduced adaptive scheme for a design parameter into robust deterministic controls. In this paper, the above control algorithm is applied to the position tracking control of 2 DOF direct drive SCARA robots, and simulation and experimental studies are conducted to verify the control algorithm and to evaluate control performance.

  • In this paper, the new approach and technique are introduced and derived from the original Lyapunov direct method which is used to decide the stability of system conveniently. This proposed technique modifies the formal concepts of the sufficient conditions of Lyapunov stability and is able to generate the methods for the robust design of control systems. Also, it applies to the dynamic systems with bounded perturbations and the results of the computer program using the new concept are compared with those of previous research papers and conventional Lyapunov direct method. It is possible to recognize the practical improvements of the estimation of robustness bounds of the systems.

  • This paper proposes an advanced test circuit for detecting the connectivity between a drum ring of laser printer and PCB. The detection circuit of charge sharing is proposed, which minimizes the influences of internal parasitic capacitances. The test circuit is composed of precharge circuit, analog comparator, level shifter. Its functional operation is verified using $0.6{\mu}m$ 3.3V/40V CMOS process parameter by HSPICE. Access time is100ns. Layout of the drum contact test circuit is $465{\mu}m\;{\times}\;117{\mu}m$.

  • This paper describes the architecture and the IC implementation of a Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer (DDFS). That is based on an angle rotation algorithm (CORDIC). It is shown that the architecture can be implemented as a multipliers, feedfoward, and easily pipelineable datapath. A prototype IC has been designed, fabricated in 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ SAMSUNG KG90 Library.

  • The dynamic inelastic analysis is now often performed for the safe structural design against the seismic events or explosions. Several powerful methods of dynamic inelastic analysis such as direct intergration methods and modal superposition methods were developed with the development of computers during the last three decades. This type of analysis generally adopts the step-by-step time-integration procedure and gives a complete time history of the evolution of the structure.(omitted)
