This paper gives an attempt to build a decision support tool linked with a simulation software called ARENA for evaluating and comparing the performance of the push and pull material driven strategies operating in the flow shop environment with a bottleneck resource as the shop's constraint. To be fair for such evaluation, the comparison must be made fairly under the optimal setting of both systems' operating parameters. In this study, an optimal-seeking heuristic algorithm, Genetic Algorithm (GA), is employed to suggest a systems' best design based on the economic consideration, which is the profit generated from the system. Results from the study have revealed interesting outcomes, letting us know the strength and weakness of the push and pull mechanisms as well as the effect of each operating parameter to the overall system's financial performance.

For demonstrating widely tunable external cavity lasers operating for near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, a flexible polymer waveguide with an imbedded Bragg grating is incorporated. Due to the superior flexibility of the polymer material, the reflection wavelength of the Bragg grating is widely tunable by imposing tensile and compressive strains on the flexible Bragg grating. A third-order Bragg grating is formed on the device for facilitating the fabrication method. With a superluminescent laser diode as a gain medium of ECL, the tunable laser exhibited output power of -3 dBm and a tuning range of 32 nm.

Roll forming technology has a problem in that it depends only on experience without accurate data in the actual field. To solve this problem, it is necessary to procure accurate data during the roll forming process. To this end, we determined the operating force and the material thickness by implementing several changes to those variables during an experiment. This study compares the FEA results and experimental results. Experimental results were used for the basic data of the design. The FEA results show that the roll forming machine is operating accurately and safely. And, a comparison of the results shows that the design of the automatic roll forming machine is operating in the right way. This design of an automatic roll forming machine will be helpful for many areas of the industry.

Study on the performance characteristics of the solar hybrid system with heat pump operating temperature during winter season has performed by using an experimental test. The system performance and operating characteristics with the heat pump operating temperature, hour and load condition were investigated and analyzed. As a result, the hot water temperature was significantly affected by the heat pump operating temperature at the morning(time 1) and noon(time 2). However, hot water temperature was set by the radiation quality and collecting operation hour at the afternoon(time 3). In addition to the solar fraction was decreased for the high heat pump operating temperature because the heat pump operated with a long operating time and short operating period.

In this paper, we present an RTOS named HEART (Highly Expandable AOP-based Real-Time operating system). It is modularized into a single base and multiple optional features. The base implements a core functionality and each feature implements a specific functionality of RTOS such as interrupt nesting, multithreading, inter-thread communication, and etc. Users can customize HEART just by selecting needed features. Then a specialized version of HEART is automatically generated. We argue that HEART enables the rapid construction of optimized and application-specific RTOSes for diverse embedded systems.

A multi-zone model was used to predict the operating range of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine, the boundaries of the operating range were determined by knock (presented by ring intensity), misfire (presented by sensitivity of indicated mean effective pressure to the initial temperature). A HCCI engine fueled with Di-Methyl Ether (DME) was simulated under different initial temperature and equivalence ratios, and the operating range was well produced by the model. Furthermore, the model was applied to develop the operating range for thermal stratification in the preceding condition of initial temperature and equivalence ratios. The computations were conducted using Senkin application of the CHEMKINII kinetics rate code.

Nowadays, the change of the social structure such as the elderly society and the broken traditional family conception is progressing rapidly. The social change produced a lot of problems, and the welfare from among these is the urgent problem. The welfare for the aged is very important problem in an aging society. The changes of industrial and economic structures also caused the increase of double-income families. The numbers of schoolchildren decreased rapidly because of the low birth and elderly society. So, many idle spaces of existing school facilities have emerged, and these left spaces is being blamed for the fiscal waste. If these idle spaces were used for the welfare-facilities, it will be of assistant to solve the problem about welfare and use the school facilities effectively. And then, the big profit from these enterprises can be used for the better welfare for education.

This paper presents a comparative operating characteristics of static var compensator(SVC) and static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) for compensating the reactive power in the Jeju power system. There are two kinds of reactive power compensating systems, which are active and passive system in the applications of the line commutated converter type high voltage direct current (LCC-HVDC). In the Jeju power system, two STATCOMs as active compensating system have been operating. Even though STATCOM has good performance compared with SVC, economical efficiency of former system is not good to the latter system. So, it is necessary to examine the performance and economical efficiency depend on the intention before appling the system. To compare the operating characteristics of two systems in the Jeju power system, simulations have been carried out for case studies that both of the HVDC system have transient state by using PSCAD/EMTDC program.

The development of high-speed rail (HSR) has had a major impact on the power supply grid. Based on the monitored waveforms of HSR, a pattern recognition approach is proposed for the first time in this paper to identify the operating conditions. To reduce the data dimensions for monitored waveforms, the principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm was used to extract the characteristics and their waveforms from the monitored waveforms data. The dynamic time wrapping (DTW) algorithm was then used to identify the operating conditions of the HSR. Cases studies show that the proposed approach is effective and feasible, and that it is possible to identify the real-time operating conditions based on the monitored waveforms.

This paper deals with the vibration characteristics of a reciprocal compressor with variable rotating speed according to the change of operating frequencies. The equation of motion and exciting force of the equivalent compressor model were formulated, and the vibration responses at operating frequencies were predicted. The predicted results were compared with the measured results. Although the predicted results had little errors in operating condition, it represented good agreement in general. Especially, the natural frequencies obtained from the measurement were similar to those calculated by the eigenvalue problem of the equivalent model. The procedure and results in this paper can be utilized to the identification of the vibration characteristics of new compressor models.
