The ultrasonic inspection system for the expansion/transition area of steam generator tube was successfully developed. Variety of artificial flaw and real track specimen was tested using the UT system to verify the performance of the system. All artificial flaws of which through-wall depth larger than 10% was clearly detected by UT system. Measurement results of through-wall depth of flaws larger than 20% had good linearity and reproducibility with 3.27 of standard deviation. Results of real crack specimen test suggested that the detection limit of real crack strongly depends on the track morphology. A potential for measurement of PRL(percentage of remaining ligament) was recognized by the real crack specimen test.

PES (Programmable Electronic System) is used by software development for the train control system. PES has been widely used in real world and consists of hardware, firmware and application software. The PES are easily apply to many applications because its implementation has high flexibility. Many safety critical functions are realized through software in safety critical system. Normally, it is difficult to detect failures for PES system because the PES is too sophisticated to identify sources of the failure. So, the reliability analysis is needed by using software fault tolerance techniques. Currently, there are the recovery block, distributed recovery block, N-version programming, N self-checking programming in fault tolerance techniques. In this paper, the models of recovery block and N-version programming in software fault tolerance techniques are suggested by using the Markov model. Also, the reliability in the train control system is analyzed through changing time. The fault occupancy rates of the program, adjustment test and voter are stationary. So, the relation between time and reliability is presented by using Matlab program. In the result of reliability, the reliability of recovery block is more high than N-version programming in case of the same number of substitution block.

This paper presents an efficient defect detection and classification system based on reference image for COF (Chip-on-Film) which encounters fatal defects after ultra fine pattern fabrication. These defects include typical ones such as open, mouse bite (near open), hard short and soft short. In order to detect these defects, conventionally it needs visual examination or electric circuits. However, these methods requires huge amount of time and money. In this paper, based on reference image, the proposed system detects fatal defect and efficiently classifies it to one of 4 types. The proposed system includes the preprocessing of the test image, the extraction of ROI, the analysis of local binary pattern and classification. Through simulations with lots of sample images, it is shown that the proposed system is very efficient in reducing huge amount of time and money for detecting the defects of ultra fine pattern COF.

Copper Filter Dryer (CFD) are responsible for removing impurities from the circulation of refrigerant in refrigeration and cooling systems to maintain clean refrigerant, and defects in CFD can lead to product defects such as leakage and reduced lifespan in refrigeration and cooling systems, making quality assurance essential. In the quality inspection stage, human inspection and defect judgment methods are traditionally used, but these methods are subjective and inaccurate. In this paper, YOLOv7 object detection algorithm was used to detect defects occurring during the CFD Shaft pipe and welding process to replace the existing quality inspection, and the detection performance of F1-Score 0.954 and 0.895 was confirmed. In addition, the cause of defects occurring during the welding process was analyzed by analyzing the sensor data corresponding to the Timestamp of the defect image. This paper proposes a method for manufacturing quality assurance and improvement by detecting defects that occur during CFD process and analyzing their causes.

In this paper, we present analytical and simulation models for evaluating the operation of a uniprocessor computer which utilizes a time redundant approach (such as recomputation by shilted operands) for lault-tolerant computing. In the proposed approach, all incoming jobs to the uniprocessor are duplicated, thus two versions 01 each job must be processed. Three methods for appropriately scheduling the primary and sL'Condary versions of the jobs are proposed and analyzed. The proposed scheduling methods take into account the load and the fault rate of the uniprocessor to evaluate two figures of merit for cost and profit with respect to a delay in response time due to faults and fault tolerance. Our model utilizes a fault-tolerant schedule according to which it is possible to find an optimal delay (given by $\kappa$) based on empiric parameters such as cost, the load and the fault rate of the uniprocessor.

A steam generator of nuclear power plant has thousands of thin tubes. These tubes play an important role in maintaining the pressure boundary between the primary and secondary side of nuclear power plant. The steam generator tube is easy to be damaged because of the severe operating conditions such as the high temperature and pressure. Therefore, tremendous efforts are made to assess the structural integrity of the steam generator tubes. The eddy current test is the most popular non-destructive test to assess the integrity of the tubes. However, the eddy current test has the limitation to size the flaw accurately because the eddy current signal behavior depends on the total volume of flaw. This paper shows the possibility that the ultrasonic test method can be applied to detect the flaws in the steam generator tubes and to measure them quantitatively. From the test results, it is expected that if the ultrasonic test is put to practical use in the steam generator tube inspection, the inspection results will be improved.

Existing distributed systems have higher probability of failures occurrence than stand-alone system, so many fault tolerant techniques have been developed. Because of insufficient storage resulting from the increased fault tolerance information stored, the performance of system has been degraded. To avoid performance degradation, it needs delete useless fault tolerance information. In this paper, we propose a garbage collection algorithm for fault tolerance information. And we define and design the garbage collection agent for garbage collection of fault tolerance information, the information agent for management of fault tolerant data, and the facilitator agent for communication between agents. Also, we propose the garbage collection algorithm using the garbage collection agent. For rollback recovery, we use independent checkpointing protocol and sender based pessimistic message logging protocol. In our proposed garbage collection algorithm, the garbage collection, information, and facilitator agent is created with process, and the information agent constructs domain knowledge with its checkpoints and non-determistic events. And the garbage collection agent decides garbage collection time, and it deletes useless fault tolerance information in cooperation with the information and facilitator agent. For propriety of proposed garbage collection technique using agents, we compare domain knowledge of system that performs garbage collection after rollback recovery and domain knowledge of system that doesn't perform garbage collection.

자원제공자 컴퓨팅(Volunteer Computing) 환경에서 자원제공자의 연산에 대한 참여(join) 및 이탈(leave), 결함 등의 동적인 연산 수행 특성을 고려한 스케줄링 기법은 안정적인 연산 수행을 지원하는 시스템의 설계에 있어서 중요한 고려사항이다. 기존의 자원제공자 컴퓨팅 연구에서는 자원제공자의 자유로운 연산 참여와 이탈 및 연산 수행 중 일시적인 연산 중단 등의 휘발성(volatility)을 고려한 결함 포용적 스케줄링 기법이 없어 연산 수행 중에 빈번한 중단이 발생하고, 연산 수행 시간이 지연된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 자원제공자의 휘발성으로 인해 발생되는 문제를 해결하기 위해 자원제공자 컴퓨팅 환경에 부합하는 다양한 가용성(availability)을 정의, 분류하고, 공헌도(Contribution Rate) 기반 차별화 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 공헌도 기반 차별화 스케즐링 기밥은 헌신도(Dedication Rate)와 능력도(Faculty Rate)를 이용하여 주어진 작업량에 적합한 연산 수행 능력을 가지는 자원제공자를 선출하여 작업을 할당하고, 결함이 발생할 경우에는 결함의 종류에 따라 유연하게 대처하여 불안정한 자원 제공과 연산 중단 현상을 완화시킨다 이로써, 연산 수행에 대한 완료성과 신뢰성을 향상시켜 연산 지연 및 전체 연산 수행 시간을 단축시킨다.

본 논문은 기존의 멀티 에이전트 기반의 결함 포용 기법에서 결함 포용 정보를 쓰레기 처리하는 쓰레기 처리 에이전트를 제안한다. 쓰레기 처리 에이전트는 정보 에이전트의 영역지식에서 불필요한 결함 포용 정보의 제거 시점을 찾아내고, 이를 정보 에이전트에 알린다. 쓰레기 처리기법에 멀티 에이전트 개념의 도입은 부가적인 메시지 전송을 하지 않고 쓰레기 처리 에이전트를 이용하여 운영체제에서 독립적인 쓰레기 처리를 가능하게 한다. 결함 포용 정보의 쓰레기 처리는 프로세스의 검사점 간격을 이용하여 쓰레기 처리 시점을 결정하기에 결함 발생 후 재수행시 손실메시지 발생으로 인한 불필요한 복귀를 막을 수 있고 에이전트를 사용함으로 쓰레기 처리 기법의 이식성과 확장성의 증대론 기대할 수 있다.
