ASME BPVC provides stress evaluation rules for Class 2 and 3 nuclear piping. However, such rules are difficult to be applied to reinforced wall-thinned pipes during service. To resolve this issue, a new method for stress evaluation of reinforced wall-thinned pipes is proposed in this work, based on the equivalent stiffness concept. By converting a reinforced wall-thinned pipe to an equivalent straight pipe having the same stiffness, stress evaluation can be proceeded using the current ASME BPVC rules. The proposed method is applied to pipes with 4 different normal pipe size and the effects of reinforcement and wall-thinning dimensions on evaluated stresses are discussed.

This paper presents a method for feeder reconfiguration in order to operate distribution systems efficiently using heuristic rules. The reconfiguration method presented here not only eliminates various abnormal states but also achieves minimum power loss and optimum load balance of the distribution feeders under normal operating condition transfering loads from one feeder to anoter applying the experiences of the experts. To implement the method effectively, a best-first tree searching strategy based on heuristics is used to evaluate the various load transfer alternatives. The development of a rule-based system aimed at the reduction of the search space is presented as a means of implementing the best-first searching strategy. The results of the computer simulation of the above procedure are as follows; 1) achieving minimum power loss of the distribution feeder adopting the optimum load transfer alternative. 2) Enhencing system reliability and achieving load balance through rational allocation of the feeder loads.

Using a sole input variable simplifies the design process for the fuzzy logic controller(FLC). This is called single-input fuzzy logic controller(SFLC). However it is still deficient in the capability of adapting to the varying operating conditions. We here design a single-input adaptive fuzzy logic controller(AFLC) using a switching function of the sliding mode control. The AFLC can directly incorporate linguistic fuzzy control rules into the controller. Hence some parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms of the fuzzy rules can be adjusted by an adaptive law. In the proposed AFLC center values of fuzzy sets are directly adjusted by a fuzzy logic system. We prove that 1) its closed-loop system is globally stable in the sense that all signals involved are bounded and 2)its tracking error converges to zero asymptotically. We perform computer simulation using a nonlinear plant.

This paper presents a rule-based approach for automatically selecting critical contingencies in electric power systems. The rules required to perform the task are derived from inspection about results of simulation and expertise of operators. And inherent information of system, for example, topology of system configuration, and flow direction in a line by compensation theorem. etc., which are independent of operating point of system, is stored in the database using the off-line calculation. The approach was investigated using the study of a sample test system. Since it is based on the knowledge engineering technique, efficiency of selection can be improved by updating and adding the rules.

An 8b Fuzzy Coprocessor (FC) is presented that has eight programmable fuzzy algorithms and up to 256 inputs, 64 outputs and 16,384 rules. The 6.4mm2 chip fabricated in 1.0$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology can be used as a stand-alone device or as a macrocell for microcontrollers. Operating at 20MHz crystal frequency, it has a peak performance of 7.9M rules/s. Perspectives of future FC generations are also outlined, including a 12-16b resolution, additional fuzzy set operations, and optimized inference and defuzzification strategies.

The software for unmanned control of three row typed rice combine has been developed using fuzzy logic. Three fuzzy variables were used : operating status of combine, steering, and speed. Eleven fuzzy rules were constructed and the eleven linguistic variables were used for the fuzzy rules. Six sensors were use of to get input values and sensor input values were quantified into 11 levels. The fuzzy output was infered with fuzzy inferrence which uses the correlation product encoding , and it must have been defuzzified by the method of center of gravity to use it for the control. The result of performance test using graphic simulation showed that the intelligently unmanned control of a rice combine was possible using fuzzy logic control.

As digital ecosystem has been rapidly transforming into the mobile based platform, several mobile operating system, which is in charge of user interface with mobile device has been appeared. This research suggest critical factors affecting success and failure of several commercial mobile operating systems from Palm OS appearing in 1996 to main mobile OSs appearing in 2013. For this, we analyse several mobile operating OS cases, elicit factors affecting success and failure of mobile OS, and conduct ID3 based inductive learning analyses based on elicted factors and values in case dataset. Through this, we draw rules in success and failure of mobile OS and suggest strategic implications for the commercial success of mobile OS.

Selecting locally optimum thresholds, based on optimizing a criterion composed of the area variation rate and the compactness of the segmented shape, is presented. The method is shown to have the shape-resolving property in the subtraction image, so that overlapped objects may be resolved into bright and dark evidences characterizing each object. As an application a vehicle detection algorithm robust to the operating conditions could be realized by applying simple merging rules to the geometrically correlated bright and dark evidences obtained by this local thresholding.

This paper investigates the problems of grouping N products on an assembly line with an objective of maximizing the option grouping rate. Before developing a mixed model grouping algorithm, simulation studies are committed for developing operating rules and evaluating the layout production systems. A mixed model grouping algorithm is suggested and it is applied to the color selection lane in automobile production system, which reveals a high mixed model grouping rate.
