In this paper, we propose a flash memory wear-leveling scheme that makes use of meta-data storage region as a regulation pool. By concentrating program and erase operations on the blocks with lower erase counts in the regulation pool, the proposed scheme achieve an even wear-leveling in a simple and efficient way. Experiments with an implementation of the proposed scheme in RS-FTL showed that the erase count deviation is reduced by around 40% through the erase count regulation.

지오이드는 수직 높이 체계의 기준으로 다양한 방법으로 측정 된 중력값을 이용하여 계산된다. 따라서 지오이드의 계산에 사용된 관측자료에 따라 지오이드 사이에 차이가 발생할 수 있으나 이에 대한 연구가 상대적으로 미흡한 실정이다. 그 이유는 GPS/Leveling 자료와 같은 검증자료가 충분치 않아 제한된 범위 내에서만 분석이 수행되어 왔기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 GPS/Leveling 자료를 이용하여 계산된 기하지오이드를 기준으로 중력기반 지오이드를 비교 분석하였다.

A fuel cell power conditioning system for online diagnosis and load leveling under the condition of varying load is developed in this study. The proposed system comprises a unidirectional boost converter and a bidirectional buck-boost converter with a battery. The system operates in two different modes. In normal mode, the bidirectional converter is utilized for load leveling; in diagnostic mode, it is utilized to control load voltage while the boost converter generates perturbation current to implement the online diagnosis function through in-situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The proposed method can perform EIS for a fuel cell under varying-load conditions with no influence on the load. The validity and feasibility of the proposed system are verified by experiments, and the design procedure of the proposed system is detailed.

This paper describes the orthometric correction for determining the orthometric height obtained from height difference by precise leveling or GPS leveling. Five formulas are used to calculate the orthometric correction for two level lines as an examples. Based on the comparison results Strang van Hees' formula that use the surface gravity is better than the others to compute the orthometric corrections on spirit leveling and GPS/Leveling in an area where mean hight is high and terrain relief show high variability. Further research is necessary to improve the results of this study using Mader method, etc..

The shape defects such as edge waves and center buckles may be formed in the rolled strip because rolling can easily produce non-homogenous elongation across the strip width. The main purpose of tension leveling is to remove such defects by eliminating the differences in elongation. In this paper, a new approach for the optimization of the process conditions in tension leveling is presented. The approach consists of an analytic model for the prediction of the strip curvature and the force at each roll. The accuracy of the proposed model is examined through comparison with the predictions from a finite element model.

In order to investigate the residual stress evolution during the leveling process of hot rolled high strength coils for cold forming, the in-plane residual stress of plate sampled at SPM, rough leveler and finish leveler were measured by cutting method. Residual stress was localized near the edge of plate. As the thickness of plate was increased, the region with residual stress was expanded. The gradient of residual stress within plate was reduced during the leveling process. But the residual stress itself was not removed at the ranges of tested conditions. From the measured residual stress distribution within the plate, camber of plate cut to small width was predicted exactly within error range of experiment.

Air springs are now widely used in bus or truck suspensions due to their advantages over conventional metal spring as coil or leaf springs. Air springs have soft spring rates, which give better ride quality, and additional leveling system provides constant ride height and maintains almost same vertical natural frequencies. A mathematical model of an air spring suspension system with height control system is constructed and dynamic responses of the suspension system are investigated in the light of leveling valve motion characteristic, vertical motion natural frequency. Also, using a full vehicle model, handling characteristics of an air spring suspension is studied and the results are compared with real test results, which shows good agreements.

As development of battery technologies, the installation of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) increased. The BESS can be used for various purposes such like frequency response, load leveling, and fluctuation mitigation of renewable energy generators. In this paper, three state BESS model is proposed. the BESS model considering charge, discharge and keeping efficiency, and life cycle according to depth of discharge (DOD). Then, the benefit and cost of BESS installed at substation for load leveling are summarized. The economic evaluation of BESS is analyzed using net present values (NPV) analysis. In case study, the NPV analysis of NaS battery system is carried out using the proposed BESS model. Because the result of economic evaluation of BESS using nowadays cost data is not positive, the sensitivity analysis of BESS is conducted by changing the capital cost and energy cost.

Recently, shape manufacturing method has been changed to a 3D printer. Since lamination type manufacturing method is the basis for forming a three-dimensional shape by repeated lamination, the horizontal accuracy of the lamination layer is very important. In the current paper, we have proposed a new leveling system to be installed in a large 3D printer. The light source was reflected from the water surface contained in the measuring device, and the inclination of the measuring device was measured from the light that entered into four regions of a quarter photodetector. The electrical signals generated differently according to the position of the beam spot incident on the quarter photodetector was acquired and compensated to be horizontal by using a motor mounted at the corner. Compared to a digital leveler, the newly developed leveling system gave errors of only 2 to 3%. This new device can be applied to various fields including the 3D printer in future.

Wear-leveling techniques and Error Correction Codes (ECCs) are essential for the improvement of the reliability and durability of flash memories. Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes have higher error correction capabilities than conventional ECCs and have been applied to various flash memory-based storage devices. Conventional wear-leveling schemes using only the number of Program/Erase (P/E) cycles are not enough to reflect the actual aging differences of flash memory components. This paper introduces an actual aging measurement scheme for flash memory wear-leveling using LDPC decoding information. Our analysis, using error-rates obtained from an flash memory module, shows that LDPC decoding information can represent the aging degree of each block. We also show the effectiveness of the wear-leveling based on the proposed scheme through wear-leveling simulation experiments.
