In this paper we identity the hazard using HAZOP study for ATSRX which is a subsystem of the ATP system, and we study a safety management method for the mitigation of the risk to the acceptable level. ATSRX is a device that make a train which has a ATP system operate in ATS line. For this ATSRX send a induction signal with ATS system to vehicle controller. Thus ATSRX can be said a safety equipment that makes a train operate safely. In order to identify the hazard for the internal faults in ATSRX system, we employ HAZOP study method which is recommended as hazard identification in IEC 62278, RAMS requirements in railway signal, and also it provide the detail activity in IEC 61882. Thus, in this paper we perform HAZOP study based on ATSRX related standards and using the assessment of the identified hazard we study a method to guarantee the system safety through the change of the design to mitigate the risk to the acceptable level.

The coverage of the NDGPS is nationwide currently and by 2007 more than 2 NDGPS signal will be available in most of Korean peninsula both coastal area and inland. The role of NDGPS beacon is transmitting pseudorange corrections however if range or pseudorange can be measured from NDGPS beacon signal, it might be possible to construct an independent regional navigation system: The range from NDGPS beacon signal can be used as additional measurements to remove GPS shadow area and to improve accuracy and reliability of GPS. Furthermore, by adding Loran-C, a regional radio navigation system without GPS can be possible. In this paper, a feasibility study on the regional positioning system using NDGPS and LORAN-C are given. The results show that the NDGPS and LORAN-C can be used as a ground based regional navigation system if requirements such as synchronization of NDGPS network, dual coverage of NDGPS, navigation algorithm for both NDGPS and LORAN-C measurements and an efficient ASF compensation method are met.

Using the technology demonstration model of 75-tonf-class combustor which is expected to be used to the rocket engine of a korean space launch vehicle, 2 times of firing tests were carried out. Firing tests were done at 50% of the nominal flow rate because of incapability of the test facility and limit of the test bed strength. Through the low pressure firing tests of 75-tonf-class channel cooling thrust chamber, reliability and stability at the ignition and combustion phases were confirmed. Additionally it was foreseen that the 75-tonf-class thrust chamber would satisfy the performance requirements.

With the fast growth of Internet and a new widespread interest in optical networks, the unparalleled potential of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is leading to further research and development efforts. One of those areas of research is Path Protection Mechanism. It is widely accepted that layer three protection and recovery mechanisms are too slow for today’s reliability requirements. Failure recovery latencies ranging from several seconds to minutes, for layer three routing protocols, have been widely reported. For this reason, a recovery mechanism at the MPLS layer capable of recovering from failed paths in 10’s of milliseconds has been sought. In light of this, several MPLS based protection mechanisms have been proposed, such as end-to-end path protection and local repair mechanism. Those mechanisms are designed for intra-domain recoveries and little or no attention has been given to the case of non-homogenous independent inter-domains. This paper presents a novel solution for the setup and maintenance of independent protection mechanisms within individual domains and merged at the domain boundaries. This innovative solution offers significant advantages including fast recovery across multiple nonhomogeneous domains and high scalability. Detailed setup and operation procedures are described. Finally, simulation results using OPNET are presented showing recovery times of a few milliseconds.

In many countries including Korea, in order to transmit the more electric power, the higher transmission line voltage is inevitable. So, a rapid reclosing scheme is important for EHV/UHV transmission lines to ensure requirements for high reliability of main lines. A critical aspect of reclosing operation is the extinction of the secondary arc since it must extinguish before successful reclosure can occur. Therefore the accurate simulation techniques of arcing faults are of importance. And successful reclosing switching can be accomplished by adopting a proper method such as HSGS and hybrid scheme to reduce the secondary arc extinction time. First of all, this paper discusses a suggested arc model, which have time dependent resistance for primary arc and piecewise linear approximated arc model for secondary arc. And this simulation technique is applied to Korean 765 kV transmission lines. Also hybrid scheme is simulated and evaluated for the purpose of shortening dead time. For adaptive reclosing scheme, variable dead time control algorithm is suggested. Two kinds of algorithm are tested. One is max tracking algorithm and the other is rms tracking algorithm. According to simulation results, rms tracking has less errors than max tracking. Therefore rms tracking is applied to Korean 765 kV transmission lines with hybrid scheme.

The purpose of this study is tile development of tile observation Assessment criteria that is used to assess manipulative skills in elementary science. The procedures of developing observation Assessment criteria are as follows. First, we investigated the actual condition about science process skills assessment with tile questionnaire. Second, we selected 7 experimental apparatus through the analysis of the science textbooks. The selected experimental apparatus are dropper, alcohol lamp, thermometer, test tube, filtering device, able balance, graduated cylinder Third, the observation Assessment criteria arc developed through tile analysis of the related experimental textbooks, the demonstrations, and the questionnaire, Forth, tile validity is verified by science education specialists and graduate students who major in science education. Fifth, the first jilter-rater agreement is investigated in the result of the field with observation criteria of which the validity was verified. The second inter-rater agreement is investigated through the revision and the addition of the criteria with the low agreement. In result, the jilter-rater agreement ranged from 0.86 to 0.98. One of the major problems in observation assessment is the rater's subjective viewpoint. So, this research shows a more specified scale and criteria for the assessment. This suggests that the observation Assessment criteria developed in tile study satisfies the high reliability and validity requirements. Considering the results, this criteria call be used effectively for assessing manipulative skills of elementary school students.
