Almost all existing software reliability models are based on the assumptions of he software usage and software failure process. There, therefore, is no universally applicable software reliability model. To develop a universal software reliability model this paper suggests the predictive filter as a general software reliability prediction model for time domain failure data. Its usefulness is empirically verified by analyzing the failure datasets obtained from 14 different software projects. Based on the average relative prediction error, the suggested predictive filter is compared with other well-known neural network models and statistical software reliability growth models. Experimental results show that the predictive filter generally results in a simple model and adapts well across different software projects.

This work deals with kinematic analysis of fault-tolerant 3 degree-of-freedom spherical modules which have force redundancies in its parallel structure. The performance of a redundantly actuated four-legged module with no actuator failure, a single actuator failure, partial and half failure of dual actuator are compared to that of a three-legged module, in terms of maximum force transmission ratio, isotropic characteristics, and fault-tolerant capability. Additionally, a system with an excess number of small floating actuators is considered, and the contribution of these small actuators to the force transmission and fault-tolerant capability is evaluated. This study illustrates that the redundant actuation mode allows significant saving of input actuation effort, and also delivers a fault tolerance.

Auto-synchonizer is important device to match the voltage, frequency, phase of the generating system to those factors of the transmission line, when the synchronous generator is operated. There were few or no incidents by Synchronization failure at Hapcheon hydraulic power plant, since it was built in 1989. but incidents by Synchronization failure have often happend lately. From now, let's improve the efficiency on the maintenance of generating equipment by studying about the cause and the method for this problem by comparing with the set point of each device of synchronizing system.

Wrapping machines in cigarette factories are equipped with indexing drive units with roller gear cam. At present there are no simple, visual, diagnostic techniques for predicting failure in these nits at an early stage. This paper proposes that failure could be predicted by using either a modified version of kurtosis, or the Wigner distribution method. The nonlinear vibration model proposed in this paper takes into consideration the play between the m and the cam follower, and precisely simulates the actual vibration. Statistics on the variance in play, obtained from the data on time history, call then be used to evaluate the effects of tile mage oil the cam and cam follower.

Electrical resistance welded steel pipes showed leakage failure within 5 years usage. Microstructural analysis and hardness test were carried out, whose results gave no evidences about the reason of failure. For the analysis, 3 kinds of ERW pipes with different heat inputs were produced. Microstructural differences according to the different heat inputs were detected. Differences of the amount of inclusion in the weld line were observed. It is concluded that the difference of heat input during ERW pipe production caused the microstructural changes which resulted in the leakage failure.

In spite of appropriate treatment of peri-implantitis, the peri-implant bone loss was keep going, the clinician should remove the osseointegrated implant. the conventional methods are like a extraction of natural teeth, and use of trephine drills. In these days, many exclusive instruments are invented by implant companies. these instruments can make easy, least invasive, less traumatic removal of osseointegrated implants. In generally peri-implant bone loss progress steadily less sign and symptoms that the patient do not want to remove their implants. However, the failure of dental implant is big burden to clinicians and also patients. In the dental implant treatment, there is no 'failure' but only is 'replacement' or 'change'.

Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) evaluates criticality and severity of each failure mode. Generally, those indices are determined subjectively by experts and operators. However, this process has no choice but to include uncertainty. In this paper, a method for eliciting expert opinions considering its uncertainty is proposed to evaluate the criticality and severity. In addition, a fuzzy expert system is constructed to determine the crisp value of risk level for each failure mode. The results are worth considering while deciding the proper policies for each component of the system.

This research paper is to analyze the specific situation for the 157 failure cases of Seoul Metro power cable since 1990 and to consider the countermeasures. This is, also, to prevent accidents by analyzing the current state of each Line, the failure of causes, railroad tracks, installation year, opening year, and monthly failure conditions and by presenting the countermeasures. In addition, this research is to discuss the present installation situation of Seoul Metro power cable, the types of power cable, symptoms, causes and the countermeasures.

Traumatic tricuspid regurgitation is a rare complication of blunt chest trauma caused by chordal rupture, anterior papillary muscle rupture and anterior leaflet tear. Since clinical symptoms are vague, early diagnosis is difficult and some patient exhibit symptoms of right heart failure. Right heart failure has been the traditional indication for surgical treatment, such as tricuspid valve replacement. Recently, early detection using transthoracic echocardiography and surgical treatment, like valve repair, prior to overt right heart failure have been shown to better prognosis. We report a case of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation with chordal rupture in patient due to traffic accident.

CCTV inspection method has been used in Korea for more than 20 years, but there is no proper assessment system for sewer failure severity that considers the domestic circumstances. This study classified the defects caused by the overburden load of reinforced concrete sewer pipes depending on severity and developed defect code by analyzing the domestic CCTV inspection videos. The defect score was assigned to each defect code, and it was classified into 5 grades for the decision-making of repair and rehabilitation. The result of this study is expected to be useful for domestic CCTV inspectors to assess the sewer condition and helpful for managers to make a decision of repair and rehabilitation.
