  • This paper proposes a new contour detection method and adaptive reconstruction scheme for the cylindrical organs, such as blood vessels or arteries. Furthermore, we present java-based navigation controller which has been built to examine the inside of cylindrical objects. Tn the preprocessing procedure, a few preprocessing image filters are applied in order to remove unwanted artifacts from the medical images and to estimate threshold values for the object of interest. We define a context-free grammar, which is proper fur properties of contours of cylindrical objects. In the next procedure, we extract contours using advanced radial gradient method and represent contours as context-free grammar derivation trees. We build polygons between two contours efficiently by traversing the derivations trees of the contours. We fly through the reconstructed virtual models using java-based navigation controller and VRML viewer.

  • The lifetime of a solid-state drive (SSD) is limited because of the number of program and erase cycles allowed on its NAND flash blocks. Data cannot be overwritten in an SSD, leading to an out-of-place update every time the data are modified. This result in two copies of the data: the original copy and a modified copy. This phenomenon is known as write amplification and adversely affects the endurance of the memory. In this study, we address the issue of reducing wear leveling through efficient handling of write requests. This results in even wearing of all the blocks, thereby increasing the endurance period. The focus of our work is to logically divert the write requests, which are concentrated to limited blocks, to the less-worn blocks and then measure the maximum number of write requests that the memory can handle. A memory without the proposed algorithm wears out prematurely as compared to that with the algorithm. The main feature of the proposed algorithm is to delay out-of-place updates till the threshold is reached, which results in a low overhead. Further, the algorithm increases endurance by a factor of the threshold level multiplied by the number of blocks in the memory.

  • SDN(Software Defined Networking) has been considered as a new future computer network architecture and DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) is the biggest threat in the network security. In SDN architecture, we present the technique to defend the DDoS SYN Flooding attack that is one of the DDoS attack method. First, we monitor the Backlog queue in order to reduce the unnecessary monitoring resources. If the Backlog queue of the certain server is occupied over 70%, the sFlow performs packet sampling with the server address as the destination address. To distinguish between the attacker and the normal user, we use the source address. We decide the SYN packet threshold using the remaining Backlog queue that possible to allow the number of connections. If certain sources address send the SYN packet over the threshold, we judge that this address is attacker. The controller will modify the flow table entry to block attack traffics. By using this method, we reduce the resource consumption about the unnecessary monitoring and the protection range is expanded to all switches. The result achieved from our experiment show that we can prevent the SYN Flooding attack before the Backlog queue is fully occupied.

  • 본 논문에서는 환경센서를 기반으로 한 스마트폰 연동형 듀얼모드 전원 스트립 제어기를 구현한다. 화재현황통계에 따르면 주거시설의 미확인 전기사고화재가 23.4%를 차지하고 있다. 사용자 부주의로 발생하는 이러한 화재사고를 줄이고 인명과 재산을 보호하기 위해서는 사용자의 편의성을 높인 스마트한 전원제어기술이 필요하다. 이를 위해 논문에서 구현한 듀얼모드 전원 스트립 제어기는 온도, 조도, 습도센서와 같은 환경센서로부터 수집된 데이터를 기반으로 사용자의 스마트폰과 연동하여 전원 스트립의 ON-OFF 동작을 두 가지 방식(수동모드/자동모드)으로 제어한다. 수동모드는 사용자가 스마트폰에 표시된 환경센서 데이터를 보고 강제적으로 전원 스트립의 ON-OFF 동작을 제어하고, 자동모드는 사용자가 미리 설정해 둔 임계치(threshold)를 환경센서 데이터가 벗어날 경우 자동으로 전원 스트립의 ON-OFF 동작을 제어한다. 실험실 테스트를 통해 전원 스트립 제어기의 듀얼모드가 성공적으로 동작함을 확인하였다.

  • In this paper, Active Noise Control(ANC) algorithm is proposed based on the estimated frequency estimator of the reference signal. The conventional feedforward ANC algorithms should measure the reference and use it to calculate the gradient of the squared error and filter coefficients. For ANC systems applied to aircrafts and passenger ships, engines from which reference signal is usually measured is so far from seats where main part of controller is placed that the scheme might be difficult to implement or very costly. Feedback ANC algorithm which doesn't need to measure the reference uses the error signal to update the filter and is sensitive to unexpected transient noise like a sneeze, clapping of hands and so on The proposed algorithm estimates frequencies of the desired signal in real time using adaptive notch filter. New frequency estimation algorithm is proposed with the improved convergence rate, threshold SNR and computational simplicity. Reference is not measured but created with the estimated frequencies. It has strong similarity to the conventional feedback control because reference is made from error signal. Enhanced error signal is used to update the controller for better performance under the measurement noise and impact noise. The proposed ANC algorithm is compared with the conventional feedback control.

  • A hybrid control system is presented for seismic-resistant building structures with and without soil-structure interaction (SSI). The hybrid control is a damper-actuator-bracing control system composed of passive and active controllers. An intelligent algorithm is developed for the hybrid system, in which the passive damper is designed for minor and moderate earthquakes and the active control is designed to activate when the structural response is greater than a given threshold quantity. Thus, the external energy for active controller can be optimally utilized. In the control of a multistory building, the controller placement is determined by evaluating the optimal location index (OLI) calculated from six earthquake sources. In the study, the soil-structure interaction is considered both in frequency domain and time domain analyses. It is found that the interaction can significantly affect the control effectiveness. In the hybrid control algorithm with intelligent strategy, the working stages of passive and active controllers can be different for a building with and without considering SSI. Thus SSI is essential to be included in predicting the response history of a controlled structure.

  • In this research, a vision system for detecting breakages of small-diameter taps, which are rarely detected by the indirect in-process monitoring methods such as acoustic emission, cutting torque and motor current, was developed. Two HMI (Human Machine Interface) programs to embed the developed vision system into a Siemens open architecture controller, 840D, were developed. They are placed in sub-windows of the main window of the 840D and can be activated or deactivated either by a softkey on the operating panel or the M code in the NC part program. In the event that any type of tool breakage is detected, the HMI program issues a command for an automatic tool change or sends an alarm signal to the NC kernel. An evaluation test in a high-speed tapping machine showed that the developed vision system was successful in detecting breakages of small-diameter taps up to M1.

  • DC/DC 컨버터는 임의의 직류전원을 부하가 요구하는 형태의 직류전원으로 변환시키는 효율이 높은 전력변환기이다. DC/DC 컨버터는 PWM-IC(펄스폭 변조 집적회로) 제어기, MOSFET(산화물-반도체 전계 효과 트랜지스터), 인덕터, 콘덴서 등으로 구성되어있다. 코발트 60 ($^{60}Co$) 저준위 감마발생기를 이용한 TID실험에서 방사선의 영향으로 PWM-IC의 전기적 특성중에 문턱전압과 옵셋전압이 증가되고, SEL에 적용된 4종류의 중이온 입자는 PWM-IC의 파형을 불안정하게 만든다. 또한, 입/출력관계의 파형을 SPICE 시뮬레이션 프로그램으로 관찰하였다. PWM-IC의 TID 실험은 30 Krad 까지 수행하였으며, SEL 실험을 제어보드를 구현한 후 LET($MeV/mg/cm^2$)별 cross section($cm^2$)으로 연구하였다.

  • The difficulties of satellite vibration testing are due to the commonly expressed qualification requirements being incompatible with the limited performance of the entire controlled system (satellite + interface + shaker + controller). Two features cause the problem: firstly, the main satellite modes (i.e., the first structural mode and the high and low tank modes) are very weakly damped; secondly, the controller is just too basic to achieve the expected performance in such cases. The combination of these two issues results in oscillations around the notching levels and high amplitude beating immediately after the mode. The beating overshoots are a major risk source because they can result in the test being aborted if the qualification upper limit is exceeded. Although the abort is, in itself, a safety measure protecting the tested satellite, it increases the risk of structural fatigue, firstly because the abort threshold has been already reached, and secondly, because the test must restart at the same close-resonance frequency and remain there until the qualification level is reached and the sweep frequency can continue. The beat minimum relates only to small successive frequency ranges in which the qualification level is not reached. Although they are less problematic because they do not cause an inadvertent test shutdown, such situations inevitably result in waiver requests from the client. A controlled-system analysis indicates an operating principle that cannot provide sufficient stability: the drive calculation (which controls the process) simply multiplies the frequency reference (usually called cola) and a function of the following setpoint, the ratio between the amplitude already reached and the previous setpoint, and the compression factor. This function value changes at each cola interval, but it never takes into account the sensor signal phase. Because of these limitations, we firstly examined whether it was possible to empirically determine, using a series of tests with a very simple dummy, a controller setting process that significantly improves the results. As the attempt failed, we have performed simulations seeking an optimum adjustment by finding the Least Mean Square of the difference between the reference and response signal. The simulations showed a significant improvement during the notch beat and a small reduction in the beat amplitude. However, the small improvement in this process was not useful because it highlighted the need to change the reference at each cola interval, sometimes with instructions almost twice the qualification level. Another uncertainty regarding the consequences of such an approach involves the impact of differences between the estimated model (used in the simulation) and the actual system. As limitations in the current controller were identified in different approaches, we considered the feasibility of a new controller that takes into account an estimated single-input multi-output (SIMO) model. Its parameters were estimated from a very low-level throughput. Against this backdrop, we analyzed the feasibility of an LQG control in cancelling beating, and this article highlights the relevance of such an approach.

  • In recent years, the switched reluctance motor have been used many industrial application because of its cost advantage. SRM drivers are accomplished by switching the phase currents on and off synchronously with the rotor position which is fed back to the controller by position may deteriorate in harsh environments and increase the size and cost of the SRM drive system. This paper proposes a position sensorless method that is based on impressed pulse voltage using impressed at unenergised phases to estimate the rotor position. The current value by impressed pulse voltage compare with the threshold value. The rotor position can be estimated by observing the current value. Finally, simulation results compare with the sensor type SRM and confirm the proposed method to be useful.
