In this paper, we propose a general framework for sensor data fusion applied to control systems. Since many kinds of disturbances are introduced to a control system, it is necessary to rely on multisensor data fusion to improve control performance in spite of the disturbances. Multisensor data fusion for a control system is considered a sequence of making decisions for a combination of sensor data to make a proper control input in uncertain conditions of disturbance effects on sensors. The proposed method is applied to a typical control system of a flexible link system in which reduction of oscillation is obtained using a photo sensor at the tip of the link. But the control performance depends heavily on the environmental light conditions. To overcome the light disturbance difficulties, an accelerometer is used in addition to the existing photo sensor. Improvement of control performance is possible by utilizing multisensor data fusion for various output responses to show the feasibility of the proposed method in this paper.

Recently, the demand for ultra-precision processing has increased owing to the increase in the demand for high-performance ultra-precision optical parts in the fields of information technology (IT), bio, healthcare, aerospace, and future automobiles. In this study, a performance improvement of a multi-stage pump was achieved by improving the pump casing structure rather than using the existing performance improvement method. To verify the performance improvement, the CFD analysis reliability of the existing pump, Pump A, was verified using the FLUENT app in the analysis software ANSYS, and the pump casing was improved through the verified CFD analysis of Pump B. Therefore, we want to analyze the performance improvement.

There has been considerable interest recently in the topic of renewable energy. This is primarily due to concerns about environmental impacts. Moreover, fluctuating and rising oil prices, increases in demand, supply uncertainties and other factors have led to increased calls for alternative energy sources. Small hydropower, especially using water supply system, attracts high attentions because of relatively lower cost and smaller space requirements to construct the plant. Moreover. newly developed positive displacement turbine has high acceptability for the system. Therefore, the purpose of this study is focused on the examination of the performance characteristics and proposition of a optimum design method of the turbine for the improvement of the performance. The results show that newly proposed optimum design method for the turbine has high accuracy of performance prediction and good applicability for the performance improvement of the turbine.

In this paper, GERT network in modeled to improve the network of manufacturing process with feedback loop. A lot of Information on the GERT network can be derived from the equivalent W-function and MGF(moment generating function) using Mason's rule. These equations are used in calculating the variations of the performance measure and in improving the system performance. System improvement in manufacturing process is achieved by increasing the equivalent probabilities of each branches and by decreasing the expected equivalent time.

Automotive suspension system is a mechanism for isolation of the vibration coming from the road inputs. Recently, the electronically controlled suspension systems which may improve ride and handling performance have been developed. Here, the continuously controlled semi-active suspension system is focused. As a mechanism to control damping forces continuously, a solenoid valve is used. The modeling for the solenoid valve is introduced briefly, a vehicle dynamics modeling is constructed, and then combined system model is completed. To design the efficient control algorithm for the semiactive suspension system the knowledge based fuzzy logic is applied and the technique how to apply the sky-hook theory to the fuzzy logic is developed. Finally, to confirm the improvement of performance the computer simulation is carried out.

This study describes a method which can attenuate reaction force effectively for an air spring system composed of an air spring and auxiliary chamber. For the analysis, the nonlinear governing equation of the air spring system is derived. For a performance improvement of the system, change of the heat transfer effect and the mass flow rates is included in the analysis of the air spring system. The simulation study is presented to show the reaction force is changed by variations in heat transfer characteristics and the air spring system of isothermal process has the best performance. As a result, to improve attenuation characteristics of reaction force, a process in the air spring system should be maintained near isothermal process.

Wireless sensors have been developed in numerous ways for enhancing the convenience of installation, management and maintenance of sensors. Energy harvesting wireless sensors, which can collect energy from the external environment for permanent usage without the need of recharging and exchanging batteries, have been developed and employed used in Internet of Things and at various industrial sites. Energy harvesting wireless sensors are significantly affected by the sensor lifespan to sudden variation in the external environment. Furthermore, reduction in the sensor operating timespan can greatly affect the characteristics of the devices connected through a network. In this paper, a system performance index is proposed that can comprehensively evaluate the lifespan of a solar cell wireless sensor, determine the characteristics of devices connected to the associated network, and recommend dynamic power distribution control for improving the system performance index. Improvement in the system performance index was verified by applying the proposed dynamic power distribution control to an air conditioner network system using a solar cell wireless sensor. Obtained results corroborate that the dynamic power distribution control can extend the lifespan of the incorporated wireless sensor and reduce the air conditioner's power consumption.
