ATM was recommended by the ITU and ATM Forum as a means of transportation for B-ISDN. At this time, due to the comprehensive mature of ATM protocol, ATM has been adapted as the backbone system for carrying Internet traffi $c^{[1,2,3,4]}$. But major conceptsregarding the ATN protocol will be used on future technology. This paper presents preventive congestion control mechanisms for detecting HTR(Hard-To Reach) code in ATM systems, in particular for an improved HTR call registration method using network signaling information will discussed. In high speed circuit switching system environments, a fast HTR control mechanism is necessary. We present research results for improving HTR call registration and control methods using network signaling information and fuzzy control mechanisms. We concluded that it showed fast congestion avoidance mechanisms with a fewer system load maximized the efficiency of network resources by restricting ineffective machine attempts.

One of the important advantages of multichannel switches is the incorporation of inherent fault tolerance into the switching fabric. For example, if a link which belongs to the multichannel group fails, the remaining links can assume responsibility for some of the traffic on the failed link. On the other hand, if faults occur in the switching elements, it can lead to erroneous routing and sequencing in the multichannel switch. We investigate several fault localization algorithms in multichannel crossbar ATM switches with a view to early fault recovery, The optimal algorithm gives the best performance in terms of time to localization but is computationally complex which makes it difficult to implement. We develop an on-line algorithm which is computationally mote efficient than the optimal algorithm. We evaluate its performance through simulation. The simulation results show that performance of the on line algorithm is only slightly sub-optimal for both random and bursty traffic. Finally a fault recovery algorithm is described which utilizes the information provided by the fault localization algorithm.

Today's Internet does not have efficient traffic engineering mechanism to support QoS for the explosive increasing internet traffic such as various multimedia traffic. This functional shortage degrades prominently the quality of service, and makes it difficult to provide multi-media service and real-time service. Various technologies are under developed to solve these problems. IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) developed the MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) technology that provides a good capabilities of traffic engineering and is independent layer 2 protocol, so MPLS is expected to be used in the Internet backbone network$\^$[1][2]/. The faults occurring in high-speed network such as MPLS, may cause massive data loss and degrade quality of service. So fast network restoration function is essential requirement. Because MPLS is independent to layer 2 protocol, the fault detection and reporting mechanism for restoration should also be independent to layer 2 protocol. In this paper, we present the experimental results of the MPLS OAM function for the performance monitoring and fault detection 'll'&'ll' notification, localization in MPLS network, based on the OPNET network simulator

We have systematically investigated the characterization of V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films as a counter electrode for lithium based complementary electrochromic devices. The V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films were prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation with varing the substrate temperature and film thickness. In electrochromic devices for smart windows, the WO$_{3}$ thin films with 400-800 nm thickness require to be capable of reversibly injection 10-15 mC/cm$^{2}$ of lithium, which is readily accomplished charge-balanced switching in a V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films with 100-150nm thick. The V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films produces considerably small changes in optical modulation properties in the visible and near infrared region(500-1100 nm) compared to the amorphous WO$_{3}$ thin films on 10-15 mC/cm$^{2}$ of lithium injection and the V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films can therefore act as a counter electrode to WO$_{3}$ in a lithium based complementary clectrochromic devices. After 10$^{5}$ coloration/bleaching switching time, the degradation does not occurs and the devices exhibit a stable optical modulation in V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films. It has shown that the injected lithium ion amounts in crystalline V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ thin films with the same thickness is large by 3-5 mC/cm$^{2}$ of lithium compared to the amorphous thin films in the same driving conditions. Therefore, to optimize the device performance, it is necessary to choose an appropriate film thickness and crystallinity of V$_{2}$O$_{5}$ for amorphous WO$_{3}$ film thickness as a working electrode.

When the fault occurs in power system, the fault-current exceeds breaking capacity of the circuit breaker. So, reliablity of the power system is decreased sharply. Superconducting fault-current limiter (SFCL) is operated without impedance in normal state. The fault-current is limited by its impedance during the fault condition. However, the SFCL has several weak points such as huge size, high-price, liquid-nitrogen operation for the real power system. In this paper, We suggested the high-speed interrupter to limit the fault-current in case of the single line-to-ground fault. In addition, we compared the high-speed interrupter with the SFCL to ensure the operation reliability. The proposed interrupter detected the fault-current through the CT, and the power was supplied by operation of the SCR control system. In this experiment, the power of high-speed interrupter was applied after the 4.8[msec] from fault instant. The on-off operation of the interrupter was started after half-cycle from the fault. The fault-current was flowed into the impedance element by the switching operation of the high-speed interrupter. So, the fault current was limited within one cycle, and then it didnt exceed the capacity of a circuit breaker. We confirmed that there was slight difference between the SFCL with high-speed interrupter in terms of limiting-time of the fault-current and switching speed of the SCR. The high-speed interrupter was considered to be more efficient than the SFCL in size, cost or reliability.

This paper proposes a approach to configure efficient video-on-demand system by introducing Multicast and Cache Video-on-Demand (MCVoD) system. As a key element or the MCVoD system, interchange agent provides this system with multicasting and switching functions. With the multicasting, the MCVoD system is able to reduce the load on the network as well as VoD servers by transmitting only one video request instead of sending multiple requests on a same video stream. The switching enables clients to receive the lust stream of requested video streams instantly without waiting time and also allows avoiding undesirable duplication of video streams in the system. With various experiment results through simulation about waiting tine and cache hit ratio, we show that the MCVoD system employing the interchange agent provides better performance than current uni-proxy based system.

Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) replacing incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent light has great attentions as a most promising candidate for the next generation lighting source due to its environment-friendly characteristics, long life and excellent efficiency. Moreover, since it is a semiconductor device which can convert the electric energy to visible light at a very high speed, it can also used as a communication device. Therefore, the VLC(Visible Light Communication) using the LED can perform the near field communication and lighting function at the same time without additional expenses. However, since the switching device of the conventional LED driver for VLC is operated in the linear region, there exist several drawbacks such as a poor power conversion efficiency and serious heat generation. On the other hand, since the proposed driver is operated in the on/off switching region, it features a higher efficiency and more improved heat generation. To verify the validity of the proposed LED driver, experimental results from a prototype of 20W rated LED driver applied to 3MHz bps broadcasting audio system are given.

This paper proposes the instantaneous source voltage and phase current control for torque ripple reduction of a high speed miniature BLDC motor. As compared with general BLDC motor, a high speed miniature BLDC motor has a fast electrical time-constant. So the current and torque ripple are very serious in a conventional PWM switching during conduction period. In order to reduce the switching current ripple, instantaneously controlled source voltage is supplied to the inverter system according to the motor speed and load torque. In addition, the fast hysteresis current controller can keep the phase current In the limited band. The proposed method is verified by the computer simulation and experimental results.

This paper deals with design of heater trigger switching in a persistent current system(PCS) by finite element method(FEM) analysis of YBCO coated conductor(CC) tape. Most promising superconducting wire is YBCO coated conductor tape in these days for its high n value and critical current independency from external magnetic field. It is expected to be used many superconducting application such as fault current limiter and cable etc. The superconducting magnet which is operated in persistent current mode in SMES, NMR, MRI and MAGLEV has many advantages such as a high uniformity of a magnetic field and reducing a thermal loss. A PCS system consists of magnet power supply (MPS) which energized current to a magnet, heater, a coated conductor tape for switching, and superconducting magnet. In this paper, the characteristic of thermal quench of the YBCO CC tape and BSCCO tape by heater trigger analyzed by FEM. And optimal length of heater is calculated by temperature and time analysis. This heater trigger analysis is expected to be a basic concept of PCS application design.
