An assembly system (AS), a valuable tool for mass production, is generally composed of a number of workstations and a transport system. While the workstations perform some preplanned operations, the transport system moves the assemblies by special designed pallets from one station to another. One common problem associated with automatic assembly systems is that some assembly operations may have relatively long cycle times. As a consequence, the productivity, as determined by the operations with the longest cycle time, can be reduced significantly. Therefore, special forms of parallel workstations were developed to improve the performance of an assembly system. In this paper, three most commonly used parallel stations: on-line, off-line and tunnel-gated stations in a free transfer assembly system are studied via discrete event simulation. Our findings revealed that the off-line parallel system has the best performance because the two independent parallel stations can lower the buffer requirement; reduce the sensitivity to variability of processing time and balance of a line. On-line parallel systems were found to have a relatively poor performance, because the operations of two parallel stations block each other, and higher buffer capacity is required to achieve similar capacity. The tunnel-gated system was more efficient than the on-line system since the first parallel station can operate independently. More importantly, we have quantified the productivity of the three different strategies mentioned. Engineers can choose the optimal strategies for installing parallel stations under their working environment.

This paper describes a new pivoting technique to improve bearing performance in pivoted pad thrust bearings. This new technique adjusts the pivot line in a line pivoted pad thrust bearing to be parallel to the trailing edge of a sector shaped pad. Bearing performance factors such as load carrying capacity, frictional torque and flow rate are numerically investigated for conventional point-pivoted and line-pivoted pads and for the new parallel-line pivoting technique. It is shown that the load carving capacity can be maximized with the new technique.

Pressure ripples, which are inevitably generated by a fluctuation of flow rate caused by a pump mechanism, include noises and vibrations in hydraulic pipeline. These noises and vibration deteriorate the stability and accuracy of hydraulic systems. The accumulator and hydraulic attenuator are normally used to reduce the pressure ripples. In this study, a parallel line is introduced to the hydraulic pipeline for the hydraulic system with a bent-axis piston pump as a method to reduce the pressure ripples. The dynamic characteristics of the hydraulic pipeline with a parallel line are analyzed by a transfer matrix in the frequency domain. The usefulness of the hydraulic pipeline with a parallel line was ascertained by experiment and simulation. The results from the experiment and simulation show that the hydraulic pipeline with a parallel line were effective in reducing the pressure ripples.

A line parallel to the ground is frequently shown in our daily life, which enables us to guess its direction. Especially, such a guess tends to become clear when a vanishing line of the ground is shown together. In this paper, a vision based pallet measurement method is suggested, which uses a technique for estimating three-dimensional direction of a line parallel to the ground. The technique computes actually a vector heading to intersection of a given imaged line parallel to the ground and the ground vanishing line determined previously on calibrating a measurement camera. Through an experiment of measuring a real commercial pallet with various orientation and distance, we found that the technique could measure the orientation of the pallet correctly and accurately. The technique worked well even though an edge line available on the front plane of a pallet was almost parallel to the ground vanishing line.

초등학교 수학에서 지도하는 기하 내용 중 중요한 것 중의 하나가 도형을 시각적인 외양만을 가지고 바라보는 것이 아니라 도형의 구성요소와 성질을 가지고 파악하도록 지도하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초등학교에서 평행과 평행선에 관한 고찰하여 보았다. 학생들이 평행선에 관하여 잘못된 개념 이미지를 갖게 된 이유 중의 하나가 교과서에 제시된 예들로 보이며, 두 직선이나 선분이 평행한지 여부를 판단하는 방법에 대한 지도가 미흡하며, 이를 개선하기 위해서는 두 선분이나 직선이 평행한지를 판단하는 방법이 필요하며, 특히 초등학교 수학에서는 모눈종이 위에 그려진 두 직선의 평행여부를 판단하는 방법을 지도하는 것이 필수적으로 필요함을 살펴보았다. 이를 바탕으로 두 직선이나 선분이 평행한지 여부를 판단하는 방법을 지도하는 구체적인 방안을 제시하였다.

A new 3-phase line-interactive UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) system with parallel-series active power-line conditioning capability using AC line reactor and two four-leg PWM VSCs(Voltage Source Converters) was introduced recently, In this paper, the strategy of voltage control in suggested UPS system is explained. The objective of proposed voltage controllers in parallel(shunt) and series PWM VSC is to guarantee satisfactory characteristics in steady state and transient state.

Biological methods are described for the assay of certain substances and preparations whose potency cannot be adequately assured by chemical or physical analysis. The principle applied through these assays is of a comparison with a standard preparation to determine how much of the examined substance produces the same biological effects as a given quantity (the Unit) of the standard preparation. In these dilution assays, to estimate the relative potencies of the unknown preparations to the standard preparations, it is necessary to compare dose-response relationships of standard and unknown preparations. The dose-response relationship in the dilution assay is non-linear and sigmoid when a wide range of doses is applied. The parallel line model (applied to the dose region with the steepest slope) is used to estimate the relative potency. In this paper, the statistical theory in the parallel line model is explained with an application to a dilution assay data. The parallel line method is implemented in a SAS program and is available at the author's homepage(http://cafe.daum.net/go.analysis).

본 논문에서는 병렬 연결된 전송선로를 이용하여 고 비율 비대칭 전력 분배기를 설계하였다. 병렬 연결된 전송선로는 마이크로스트립 기술로 구현하기 어려운 낮은 임피던스의 전송선로를 높은 임피던스 전송선로로 구현하는 방법이다. 비율 비대칭 분배기 구현 시 사용되는 낮은 임피던스를 구현하기 위하여 병렬 연결된 전송선로를 이용함으로서 구현을 쉽게 할 수 있었다. 이러한 설계방법의 타당성을 보이기 위해서 중심 주파수 1 GHz에서 10:1 비율의 비대칭 전력 분배기를 제작하였고, 이것의 특성은 시뮬레이션과 거의 동일함을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 집중 소자 캐패시터와 접지를 사용하여 평행 결합 선로 필터의 새로운 소형화 기법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 설계와 제작이 간단하여 RF(Radio Frequency) 필터로 많이 사용되고 있는 평형 결합선로 필터를 소수의 캐패시터와 접지만을 이용하여 필터의 크기를 임의의 길이로 줄일 수 있는 기법이다. 본 논문은 기존의 단일 전송 선로와 평행 결합 선로의 소형화 기법을 평행 결합 선로 필터에 적용하였으며, 접지를 이용해 소형화에 사용될 캐패시터의 개수를 줄이는 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 필터의 소형화와 더불어 집중소자 캐패시터를 사용함으로 인해 필터의 고조파 특성이 개선되며 이로 인해 고주파 영역의 차단 특성이 개선되는 장점이 있다. 제안된 소형화 기법에 대한 검증을 위해 Duroid($\varepsilon$$_{r}$=10)기판을 사용하여 셀룰러폰 대역인 900 MHz 대역의 FBW(Fractional Band Width) 10 %의 필터를, 제안한 기법을 적용하여 공진기의 길이를 λ/4로 줄인 헤어핀 형태로 제작 및 측정하여 제안된 기법의 타당성을 확인하였다..
