In this paper, the study of the optimum design for a geometry of the handle bar to obtain a high stiffness and light weight is investigated, using EDISON simulation program. High stiffness and weight lightening are considered as the major performance indicators of the component of the bicycle. Four design factors and three levels of the design factors are selected for the structural optimization and experiments are designed using the orthogonal array of L9 by Taguchi method. We calculated SN ratio of larger-the-better and smaller-the-better characteristics from FEA results and analysed the effects of design factors on characteristics. We choosed the optimum level of design factors based on deflection and safety factor. Comparing the results of FE analysis with converted value of predicted SN ration, we made sure for reliability of Taguchi method and FE method for structural optimization.

Signaling system, for which ensuring safe train operation, must be a fail-safe system with higher reliability and safety. TCS has made significant improvements both on signaling system, from relay based ground signaling system to computer based on-board system, and on driving mode, form low speed and low density driving to TCS supporting high speed and high density driving. In addition, TCS has been applied to rolling stock with a wide variety of context according to the characteristics of rolling stock or railway infrastructure. In this paper, therefore, we confirmed the basic concept of ATC system and analyzed its development process in technology context via referencing international cases and ATC systems introduced and applied in Korea. Based on those analyses, we suggested the new TCS development strategy for its suitable application to high speed line, conventional line and metro, and we also provided technical considerations related to TCS application.

This paper is described the systematic activities of RCM to improve the availability for AREX railway system. The purpose of these activities are to maintain and enhance the reliability, availability, maintainability and safety, and to implement the effective maintenance for electrical and mechanical system including rolling stock, signalling, telecommunication, power supply, overhead catenary and platform screen door with impact to train operation.. The main activities consist of systematic failure and repair recording by integral information system, analysis and corresponding countermeasure. As applying these activities in opeartion and maintenance works, the availability of AREX railway system is going on improvement gradually, and maintenacne works are improved with these results.

The automatic-driverless operation, a very important technique for metro railways, is necessary for achieving higher safety, greater reliability, and bigger transport capacity. To achieve these things, we have to build up the system design and tasting techniques for the railway system operation. These techniques are related to the onboard train control and communication systems which include TCMS(Train Control and Monitoring System), ATO(automatic train Operation), ATC(Automatic train Control), and TWC(Train to wayside communication). These sub-systems should interface not only with each other but also between the sub-systems and the signal system on the ground. For the saving of energy, we designed coasting strategy of ATO system, In this paper, we developed ATO system and tested on the test line and ...

Medical device performance management is an activity that allows a device to be safely used and maintained even after it is put on the market. The purpose of this study is to provide procedures and criteria for selection of medical device items that should manage the safety and performance among medical devices in hospital. Investigate the performance management status of medical devices in hospitals and identify the performance management status by domestic and advanced regulatory agencies. Provides selection procedures and test methods for medical devices subject to performance management in hospitals based on medical device risk management and reliability. In addition, a case study on drug infusion pumps was conducted.

Concrete slab cracks monitoring of modern high-speed railway is important for safety and reliability of train operation, to prevent catastrophic failure, and to reduce maintenance costs. This paper proposes a curvature filtering improved crack detection method in concrete slabs of high-speed railway via graph-based anomalies calculation. Firstly, large curvature information contained in the images is extracted for the crack identification based on an improved curvature filtering method. Secondly, a graph-based model is developed for the image sub-blocks anomalies calculation where the baseline of the sub-blocks is acquired by crack-free samples. Once the anomaly is large than the acquired baseline, the sub-block is considered as crack-contained block. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method performs better than convolutional neural network method even under different curvature structures and illumination conditions. This work therefore provides a useful tool for concrete slabs crack detection and is broadly applicable to variety of infrastructure systems.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship analysis between safety consciousness, self-efficacy, and life-respect according to participation in survival swimming program of elementary school students for interdisciplinary convergence research. In order to achieve this purpose, 248 elementary school students were selected from registered in Kangwon-do area by the cluster sampling method. Frequency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlations analysis and structural equation model analysis were executed using SPSS Statistics 23.0 Version and AMOS 23. As the results, First, it was discovered that the Safety Consciousness had static influence to the Self-Efficacy. Second, it showed that the Safety Consciousness did not gave static influence to the Life-Respect. Finally, it showed that the Self-Efficacy had static influence to the Life-Respect. In conclusion, the safety consciousness of elementary school students participating in the survival swimming program influences self-efficacy. It also has a positive effect on respect for life through self-efficacy. Therefore, various approaches to survival swimming education program are needed from the perspective of interdisciplinary fusion research.

It is possible to count and perform quench correction on two ${\beta}$ -label samples so long as the maximum ${\beta}$-energies are sufficiently different. However, when 4he conventional technique is applied to the radioassay of a mixture of more than three nuclides, the reliability of the activities determined is considerably reduced, resulting from the large overlapping of liquid scintillation pulse height distributions of each nuclide. A technique that allows the activities of multiple ${\beta}$-labeled samples to be radioassayed was proposed by using the least square method. The technique was applied to mixture samples of $^3H,\;^{14}C,\;^{36}Cl$, and $^{90}Sr$. The analytical values were in good agreement with the reference values within 7% relative error.

Demand for reliability and safety in modem systems has been increased in the research on fault detection and isolation. At traditional approaches to fault detection, redundant sensors have been used. More advanced methods are the residual analysis of signals which are created by the comparison between the actual plant behavior and the output response of a mathematical model. However, mathematical system models are difficult to obtain by using physical laws. These problems can be solved by system identification. In this paper, the transfer function of a direct current motor is estimated by using the system identification. And, the efficiency of the fault detector design is verified by using experiments.
