  • As the density of memories increases, unwanted interference between cells and coupling noise between bit-lines are increased and testing high density memories for a high degree of fault coverage can require either a relatively large number of test vectors or a significant amount of additional test circuitry. From now on, conventional test algorithms have focused on faults between neighborhood cells, not neighborhood bit-lines. In this paper, a new algorithm for NPSFs, and neighborhood bit-line sensitive faults (NBLSFs) based on the NPSFs are proposed. Instead of the conventional five-cell and nine-cell physical neighborhood layouts to test memory cells, a three-cell layout which is minimum size for NBLSFs detection is used. To consider faults by maximum coupling noise by neighborhood bit-lines, we added refresh operation after write operation in the test procedure(i.e., write \longrightarrow refresh \longrightarrow read). Also, we present properties of the algorithm, such as its capability to detect stuck-at faults, transition faults, conventional pattern sensitive faults, and neighborhood bit-line sensitive faults.

  • This work presents a test platform for the assessment and benchmarking of modern actuators which have been specifically developed for the new field and service robotics applications. This versatile platform has been designed for the comparative analysis of actuators of dissimilar technology and operating conditions. It combines a modular design to adapt to linear and rotational actuators of different sizes, shapes and functions, as well as those with different load capacities, power and displacement. This test platform emulates the kinematics of robotic joints while an adaptive antagonist-load actuator allows reproducing the variable dynamic loads that actuators used in real robotics applications will be subjected to. A data acquisition system is used for monitoring and analyzing test actuator performance. The test platform combines hardware and software in the loop to allow actuator performance characterization. The use of the proposed test platform is demonstrated through the characterization and benchmarking of three controllable impedance actuators recently being incorporated into modern robotics.

  • This paper proposes a new concept of IDSP(Intelligent Digital Switchgear Panel) which can solve the problem of the safety, the reliability and the convenience to correspond to the requirement of the general electric customer or electric power company under the ubiquitous-based home automation environments. By analyzing their requirement functions, a 32-bit micro processor is adopted as main controller to support the designed functions efficiently. The DSP-based single phase power management device is utilized to collect the electric power information and the ethernet convertor to communicate through internet among the IDSPs and the remote computer system. In the proposed IDSP, the several functions are implemented such as the earth leakage level display and waveform transmission, the electric fee display, the voltage management, the load management and the load control function. Finally, the prototype of the IDSP is made experimently based on the designed results, and then the effectiveness is verified by testing its basic functions.

  • Recent trend of sensor-less control of induction motor applied for commuter trains in Japan is introduced. Although many inverter-fed induction motor driven trains have been produced so far, most of them were slip frequency based conventional V/f control system using shaft encoder. There arises a new trend to apply speed sensor-less vector control., for this inverter-fed induction motor drive system. The purpose of sensor-less control is to save, cost and improve system reliability. Several sensor-less systems now under testing on the actual railway company. This paper describes the survey of the fundamental structure and feature of representative sensor-less systems mentioned above.

  • The more the lift environment eastern idea, culture, factory automation system and information technology complicates, the more the various human error brings about. It brings about all kind of accidents and occupational diseases. Also the death and sickness or injury by psychological stress among the human error has increased every year. Therefore this paper describes the Korean lift change unit model through statistical testing with the proposed life change unit factors on the married workers living the middle area. The proposed model can be simply used in order to minimize the industrial accident and human error in real fields. Finally, the result will be helpful for the better safety management.

  • Because the existing Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for the conventional substation cannot dynamically indicate the configuration information of the Substation Automation System (SAS). In this paper, an intelligent station HMI is proposed for IEC 61850 based substation. The program of the proposed HMI not only can automatically generate the layout of single line diagram, but can also indicate the communication network and functions of IEDs by reading SCL files. It greatly helps monitor the operation status, communication network and each IED dynamically, such as failure detection in SAS. Furthermore, this paper presents the possibility of developing new software for SAS with the full use of IEC 61850-6. Once the software is complete, there is no need to change it when the substation is upgraded or when it is migrated to other IEC 61850 based substations, which is a cost-effective solution.

  • IEC 61850 based substation automation system mainly consists of human machine interface and a various of IEDs in charge of protective and control functions of the substation. Both of them should require the performance verification of IEC 61850 communication services because their communication relation is the same as client and server throughout the digital network. This paper shows a research result on the testing method of basic communication interface of the IEC 61850 based client, which was implemented by the analysis of real communication between HMI and IED of IEC 61850 based substation automation system and refereed to IED IEC 61850 conformance test procedures.

  • 일반적인 키워드 기반 테스트는 기능 위주의 키워드를 작성하여 테스트를 자동화하여 비용은 적게 들지만 활용도가 높은 테스트를 자동화기 어렵다. 한편 탐색적 테스트는 리스크 기반으로 차터를 작성하여 짧은 시간동안 많은 에러를 탐지하는 장점이 있으나, 문서화가 미흡하다는 단점이 있다. 위와 같은 단점을 보완하기 위하여 탐색적 테스트의 기본 원리를 고수하면서 효율적 키워드 기반 자동화가 가능한 RAKTA(Record And Keyword-based Test Automation) 방법론을 제안한다. RAKTA는 오픈 소스 키워드 기반 자동화 프레임워크인 로봇 프레임워크의 기술을 사용하여, 키워드 기반과, 탐색적 테스트의 장점을 뽑아 효율적으로 테스트 자동화하여 비용을 줄이고 많은 에러를 탐지할 수 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 RAKTA 방법론을 활용한 여러 가지 키워드 재사용 사례와 기존 조직에서 사용하던 테스트 스크립트를 혼합하여 통합 테스트, 인수 테스트, 설치 테스트를 자동화하는 방법을 제안한다.

  • The application of cellular materials in load-carrying and security-relevant structures requires the exact prediction of their mechanical behavior, which necessitates the development of robust simulation models and techniques based on appropriate experimental procedures. The determination of the yield surface requires experiments under multi-axial stress states because the yield behavior is sensitive to the hydrostatic stress and simple uniaxial tests aim only to determine one single point of the yield surface. Therefore, an experimental technique based on a uniaxial strain test for the description of the influence of the hydrostatic stress on the yield condition in the elastic-plastic transition zone at small strains is proposed and numerically investigated. Furthermore, this experimental technique enables the determination of a second elastic constant, e.g., Poisson's ratio.
