One of the most important objectives of the schedules in a container terminal is to minimize the ship operation time, which consists of discharging and loading operation times. Recently, dual cycling techniques have been used for improving terminal operations, especially for reducing the total empty trips of handling equipment. The main focus of this study is to reduce the empty trip times of yard trucks with minimum delays for ship operations. A heuristic algorithm, modified from a previous algorithm, is proposed to solve this problem. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the effect of different types of discharging and loading schedules and different locating methods for discharging containers in terms of the performance of the system, including the percentage of the dual cycle operations of yard trucks.

According to depth cues of an image, the optical engine of the solid volumetric true 3D display can project a sequence of slices of a 2D image to corresponding display at a set of liquid shutters (LC) locating at different depth. A single DLP optical engine developed for a solid volumetric true 3D display consists of a lamp, reflector, color wheel, hollow integrator, relays, DMD, and projection lens. The simulation results show that the optical engine designed for single DLP volumetric true 3D display satisfies the requirements.

This paper proposes a framework for determining the minimum load shedding for restoring solvability. The framework includes a continuation power flow (CPF) and an optimal power flow (OPF). The CPF parameterizes a specified outage from a set of multiple contingencies causing unsolvable cases, and it traces the path of solutions with respect to the parameter variation. At the nose point of the path, sensitivity analysis is performed in order to achieve the most effective control location for load shedding. Using the control location information, the OPF for locating the minimum load shedding is executed in order to restore power flow solvability. It is highlighted that the framework systematically determines control locations and the proper amount of load shedding. In a numerical simulation, an illustrative example of the proposed framework is shown by applying it to the New England 39 bus system.

This paper discusses the development of a new optimization algorithm for DC motor design. In principle, the new algorithm utilizes a mixed method that consists of genetic algorithms in conjunction with direct search method. The genetic algorithms are used for locating the global optimum region while the direct search method is used to achieve objective function convergence. In order to validate the effectiveness, the new algorithm has been applied to an actual DC motor. Field and torque characteristics of the DC motor are computed using finite element method and the principle of virtual work, respectively.

Laboratory experiments and on site measurements were conducted to detect partial discharges in GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) using the UHF(Ultra High Frequency) technique that has been applied many places in the world. Experimental results were in good agreement with calculation in locating a partial discharge source using mock-up GIS. Defect type and its location were inferred after a measurement on 345 kV GIS that showed some abnormal phenomenon. Precise examination inside the GIS coincided with the results inferred from the measurement. High reliability of UHF technique for site application was confirmed.

카메라 캘리브레이션은 실제 세상인 3차원의 좌표와 카메라가 만든 영상의 2차원 좌표 사이에서 수학적 관계를 알기 위해서 필요하다. 보통 체커보드의 교점을 이용하여 2차원의 좌표를 정확하게 찾는데 사용하며, 이는 카메라 캘리브레이션 계산으로 응용된다. 따라서 체커보드의 교점을 정확하게 찾아야만 카메라 캘리브레이션이 정상적인 성능을 낼 수 있다. 현존하는 체커보드 검출 방법은 입력 인수를 많이 필요로 하거나 정확도가 낮아 체커보드의 교점을 정확히 입력하지 못하면 좋지 않은 결과가 나타난다. 따라서 체커보드를 자동으로 검출하여 카메라 캘리브레이션 하는 방법은 아직 신뢰도가 낮은 편이다. 본 논문에서는 보다 안정적인 카메라 캘리브레이션을 위해서 체커 보드의 검출 성능을 높이고자 한다. 주위 픽셀들간의 미분 값을 기준삼아 검출된 교점들을 이용하여 체크 모양의 직선을 추측한다. 이 직선을 이용하면 장애물이 있거나 노이즈가 있어서 검출하기 어려운 교점들이 있는 경우에도 교점 보간 (point interpolation) 방법을 사용하여 나머지 교점들을 찾을 수 있다. 보간 과정을 통해서 검출에 방해가 되는 요소들이 있는 상황에서 체커 보드 교점 검출의 성능을 높이도록 하였다.

Aging wiring in buildings, aircraft and transportation systems, consumer products, industrial machinery, etc. is among the most significant potential causes of catastrophic failure and maintenance cost in these structures. Smart wire health monitoring can therefore have a substantial impact on the overall health monitoring of the system. Reflectometry is commonly used for locating faults on wire and cables. This paper compares Time domain reflectometry (TDR), frequency domain reflectometry (FDR), mixed signal reflectometry (MSR), sequence time domain reflectometry (STDR), spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) and capacitance sensors in terms of their accuracy, convenience, cost, size, and ease of use. Advantages and limitations of each method are outlined and evaluated for several types of aircraft cables. The results in this paper can be extrapolated to other types of wire and cable systems.

This paper presents an efficient localization scheme for an indoor mobile robot using RFID tags on the floor. The mobile robot carries an RFID reader at the bottom, which reads the RFID tags on the floor to localize the mobile robot. Each RFID tar on the floor stores its own absolute position which is used to calculate the position and velocity of the mobile robot. Locating the RFID tags on the floor, which constructs an intelligent sensor space, may require several factors to be considered: economics feasibility and accuracy. In this paper, the optimal allocation scheme of the RFID tags on the floor to satisfy the accuracy constraint has been proposed and verified by the experiments. Based on the RFID reading, the mobile robot navigation has been successfully demonstrated to avoid obstacles and to reach the goal within a pre-specified time.

Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) involves locating, rescuing (extricating), and medically stabilizing victims trapped in confined spaces. In this paper we state the current approach to USAR, address the limitations and discuss the way for moving in rugged topography. To achieve objectives such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and rescue, it is necessary to develop a driving mechanism that can handle rugged geographical features. We propose a new type of driving mechanism for a rescue robot that has a variable shape single-track. By using a variety shapes, it can get the gain of steering and rotating and the ability to overcome stairs. In this paper, we analyzed the design parameters for making variable transform shapes and determined the specifications of the robot to enhance adaptability to stairs.
