A very promising application of active RFID systems is the electronic seal, an electronic device to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of freight containers. To provide freight containers with a high level of tamper resistance, the security of electronic seals must be ensured. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an electronic seal protection system. First, we propose the eSeal Protection Protocol (ePP). Next, we implement and evaluate various cryptographic primitives as building blocks for our protocol. Our experimental results show that AES-CBC-MAC achieves the best performance among various schemes for message authentication and session key derivation. Finally, we implement a new electronic seal system equipped with ePP, and evaluate its performance using a real-world platform. Our evaluation shows that ePP guarantees a sufficient performance over an ARM9-based interrogator.

The electric ballast for ceramic metal halide lamp needs a protection circuit to prevent from over voltage and over current in the case that the lamp or the electric ballast are in faults. In this paper, cost-effective and high performance protection circuit is proposed for the electric ballast. The proposed protection circuit is adapted to the electric ballast with $LC_SC_P$ resonance type half bridge inverter. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed circuit can protect effectively under open and short fault conditions.

HEMP분야에 대한 연구는 1950년대 이후 미국을 중심으로 핵을 보유한 국가에 의해 주로 국가방위를 목적으로 수천 건의 연구가 집중적으로 이루어졌다. HEMP 방호설비의 핵심은 차폐, 필터링, 접지, 과전압 보호로 구성된다. 이중에서 투자비용이 가장 높은 차폐실 설계에 있어 기존에 나와 있는 이론식을 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 하면 특정 주파수 대역을 제외하고 실제 측정값과 전혀 맞지 않는 모순이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 HEMP 방호용 차폐실의 최적설계를 위해 기존 이론식을 개선하여 실제 측정값과 넓은 주파수 범위에서 잘 일치할 수 있는 이론을 제시하고, 각각의 재료정수에 따라 설계전에 충분하게 시뮬레이션을 거쳐 경제적이고 효과적으로 HEMP 방호용 차폐실을 건설할 수 있도록 하는 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다.

PPS 소자가 삽입된 N형 실리콘 제어 정류기(NSCR_PPS) 소자에서 채널차단영역의 이온주입 변화가 정전기 보호 성능에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 종래의 NSCR 표준소자는 on 저항, 스냅백 홀딩 전압 및 열적 브레이크다운 전압이 너무 낮아 마이크로칩의 정전기보호소자로 적용이 어려웠다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제안하는 채널 차단 영역의 이온주입 조건을 변화시켜 각각 변형설계된 소자에서는 채널 차단 이온주입이 정전기 보호성능의 향상에 영향을 주는 중요한 파라미터였으며, CPS_PDr+HNF 구조의 변형소자는 정전기보호소자의 설계창을 만족시키는 향상된 정전기보호성능을 나타내어 고전압 동작용 마이크로 칩의 정전기보호 소자로 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

Athletic products must meet the needs of athletes and the demands imposed by sports through innovative design. These needs of athletes and requirements of sports are performance, protection and comfort related. In depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology, etiology of commonly reported injuries, and lower extremity mechanics form the basis of product creation/engineering. Game analysis which entails time and frequency surveys of the skills performed during a game, interviews with athletes and coaches, and discussions with medical staffs are used to identify the skills that are critical to the needs of athletes. In lab full biomechanical analyses of these skills and/or physiological responses of the athletes lead to clear functional criterions that serve as guidelines to be met by the design team. The concepts created by the design team are in turns subjected to the same battery of biomechanical analyses. The learning gathered through this pluridisciplinary process is used to further evolve design concepts. The evolution-testing loop is repeated until biomechanical and/or physiological, mechanical and perceptual tests indicate that the design concept meets the established functional design criterions. At that time, the design concepts is ready for manufacturing research and development. Additional biomechanical and physical tests are performed through that phase to confirm that the manufacturing processes preserve the functionality of the design concept. Durability and long term performance of production samples are evaluated through a final three month long weartest program. A rigorous research/testing program is crucial to create and engineer sport products that meet the performance, protection.

Rows of closely adjacent buildings with similar dynamic characteristics are common building arrangements in residential areas. In this paper, we present a vibration control strategy for the seismic protection of this kind of multibuilding systems. The proposed approach uses an advanced Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) computational procedure to carry out the integrated design of distributed multiactuation schemes that combine interbuilding linking devices with interstory actuators implemented at different levels of the buildings. The controller designs are formulated as static output-feedback H-infinity control problems that include the interstory drifts, interbuilding approachings and control efforts as controlled-output variables. The advantages of the LMI computational procedure are also exploited to design a fully-decentralized velocity-feedback controller, which can define a passive control system with high-performance characteristics. The main ideas are presented by means of a system of three adjacent five-story identical buildings, and a proper set of numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the behavior of the different control configurations. The obtained results indicate that interstory-interbuilding multiactuation schemes can be used to design effective vibration control systems for adjacent buildings with similar dynamic characteristics. Specifically, this kind of control systems is able to mitigate the vibrational response of the individual buildings while maintaining reduced levels of pounding risk.

원자력발전소 화재방호의 목표는 화재 시 원자로의 안전정지 상태를 유지하여 환경으로의 방사성물질 누출을 최소화하며, 종사자 인명안전 및 재산을 보호하는데 있다. 소방시설은 발생된 화재를 조기 감지 및 진압하여 화재로 인한 피해를 완화시킬 수 있는 심층방어개념에 입각한 중요한 방어수단의 하나이다. 그러나 소방방재청에서 제시하고 있는 소방시설 설치기준이 원자력발전소에 특화되어 있지 않아 인허가 시 별도의 심의 절차가 요구되고 있다. 또한, 성능위주설계와 같은 규정은 작업자의 인구밀도가 비교적 낮은 원자력발전소에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 이 논문에서는 원전 화재방호와 관련된 법령의 상세 검토를 통하여 도출된 근본적인 문제점과 KEPIC FPN의 국내 원전 적용성에 대한 평가를 통하여 소방시설에 대한 기술기준에 대한 개선방향을 제시하였다.

A diversity of wireless networks, with rapidly evolving wireless technology, are currently in service. Due to their innate physical layer vulnerability, wireless networks require enhanced security components. WLAN, WiBro, and UMTS have defined proper security components that meet standard security requirements. Extensive research has been conducted to enhance the security of individual wireless platforms, and we now have meaningful results at hand. However, with the advent of ubiquitous service, new horizontal platform service models with vertical crosslayer security are expected to be proposed. Research on synchronized security service and interoperability in a heterogeneous environment must be conducted. In heterogeneous environments, to design the balanced security components, quantitative evaluation model of security policy in wireless networks is required. To design appropriate evaluation method of security policies in heterogeneous wireless networks, we formalize the security properties in wireless networks. As the benefit of security protocols is indicated by the quality of protection (QoP), we improve the QoP model and evaluate hybrid security policy in heterogeneous wireless networks by applying to the QoP model. Deriving relative indicators from the positive impact of security points, and using these indicators to quantify a total reward function, this paper will help to assure the appropriate benchmark for combined security components in wireless networks.

The majority of pedestrian fatalities and injuries are caused by vehicle-pedestrian accidents. Recently, it has been recognized as a serious problem. Injuries of occupants in a vehicle have been decreased considerably. However, efforts for protection of pedestrians are still insufficient. These days, many advanced industries are striving for a better protection of pedestrians by using an active hood lift system, rather than reforming the existing structure. In this research, the active hood lift system is designed to enhance the performance for protection. The active hood lift system is analyzed by using the nonlinear finite element method. An optimization problem is formulated by incorporation of the analysis results. Orthogonal arrays are utilized to solve the formulated problem. An iterative optimization algothrithm using orthogonal arrays is utilized for design in the discrete space. It is found that the method can remarkably decrease the number of function evaluations.

낙석방지울타리는 국내에서 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 낙석방지공법의 하나로 일반적으로 H형강, 와이어메쉬 및 와이어로프의 세 부분으로 구성되며 이들에 의해 발휘되는 낙석방지울타리의 총 흡수가능에너지가 낙석에너지보다 커야한다는 것을 기본적인 설계개념으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 낙석방지울타리의 와이어메쉬와 와이어로프 대신, 새로운 재료인 팽창메탈을 사용한 낙석방지울타리의 성능을 평가하고 기존의 낙석방지울타리와 비교하였다. 이를 위하여 팽창메탈 낙석방지울타리와 기존 방식의 낙석방지울타리에 대하여 실내 및 현장시험을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 팽창메탈 낙석방지울타리의 흡수가능에너지는 기존 낙석방지울타리와 비교해 높은 것으로 나타나 팽창메탈은 성능 및 경제적인 면에서 기존 재료에 비해 우수한 재료임을 보였다.
