Breaking time is an important performance indicator of a circuit breaker. Thus, the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker should be optimized for reducing the breaking time. The operating mechanism in a gas circuit breaker is made up of several latches. Specifically, the geometry and relative positions of latches influence the dynamic behaviors of the operating mechanism. In this study, a three-stage latch operating mechanism is analyzed on the basis of the verified multibody dynamics model constructed using the MSC.ADAMS program. The relative positions and lengths of latches are selected as design variables. The dominant design variables are selected by a design study. Optimization is performed using a genetic algorithm (GA). The study results demonstrate that the performance of the circuit breaker improves by about 22.5.

Recent reports about Mt. Baekdusan indicate an increasing potential of lahar generation due to volcanic activity around Lake Cheonji. In this study, we model lahar assuming volcanic activity underneath the caldera located at the top of Mt. Baekdusan. Lahar-inundation hazard zones (LAHARZ), software that runs within a Geographic Information System (GIS), was used for lahar modeling in various conditions of digital terrain resolution and model parameters. The sensitivity analysis of model parameters shows that both sink threshold and terrain resolution have limited impact on the modeling result. Combinations of stream threshold and resolution indicate distinctive distributions in stream delineation. The limitations of LAHARZ seem to largely be associated with the assumption of an existing flow generation algorithm. However, the impact of different resolutions on the final lahar extent was found to be small.

As the development of quantum computers becomes visible, the researches on post-quantum cryptography to alternate the present cryptography system have actively pursued. To substitute RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem, post-quantum cryptography must also consider side channel resistance in implementation. In this paper, we propose a side channel analysis on NTRU, based on the implementation made public in the NIST standardization. Unlike the previous analysis which exploits a thousands of traces, the proposed attack can recover the private key using a single power consumption trace. Our attack not only reduces the complexity of the attack but also gives more possibility to analyze a practical public key cryptosystem. Furthermore, we suggested the countermeasure against our attacks. Our countermeasure is much more efficient than existing implementation.

This paper describes the speed control of the surface-mounted permanent-magent synchronous motors (SMPMSNM) for elevator drive. The elevator motor needs to be a compact and slim type. Essentially, the proposed scheme uses a vector control algorithm for a speed and torque control and Anti-windup technique is adopted to prevent a windup phenomenon. This system is implemented using a high speed 32-bit DSP (TMS320C31-50), a high-integrated logic device FPGA(EPF10K10TI144-3) to design compactly and inexpensively. The proposed scheme is verified by the results through digital simulation and experiments for a three-phase 13.3[kW] SMPMSM as a MRL(MachineRoomLess) elevator motor in the laboratory.

The modular robots are a kind of system that was developed to overcome the limitation of the movement for the mobile robot with wheels or legs. In legs type mobile robot case, they are limited for velocity and balance during moving at the uneven terrain. In wheeled mobile robot case, they are also limited to overcome dump, stair and so on. The modular robots can overcome moving limitation because of their transforming ability. However, they are researched not only driving mechanism but also combination mechanism. In this paper we proposed four kinds of unique structure for the combination and separation and also its algorithm. The effectiveness of the structure is verified with building the real structure and taking experiments to the designed modular robot

In this paper, a new automatic punching system that generates pinholes expressing texts or images on a plastic plate is developed. The pin-holed plate is used as a new glamorous display board reflecting colourful lights from the light emitting diode (LED) installed on the edge side of the plate. The punching system has four actuators which work together to make multiple holes with accurate position and depth on the plastic plate. For even reflection of the lights from texts or images on the board and fast production of the pin-holed boards, we developed an accurate actuating structure of the system cooperating with a PID control algorithm. We also built a GUI-based integrated control system to help users easily design luminous texts or images on the plastic plate. Also, we conducted a performance test of the system to verify the punching speed and depth control of the pin holes on the plastic plate.

The degradation of durability and increase of fatigue on the ship are mainly caused by vibration of the engine and rotating machineries. The damper to minimize the influence from vibration is usually attached between the machineries and its base. General damper applied on the vessel is passive damper which is designed to attenuate specified frequency signals, i.e, high frequency vibration signals. But it is hard to anticipate its performance for low frequency signals. In this research, active vibration isolator using VCM is developed to suppress wide band vibration signals. Routh-Huritz's stable condition, ultimate sensitivity method and parameter tuning are applied to derive PID parameters and 2 and 4 phase choppers are also adapted to drive VCM. Simulation and experiments are executed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.

Optimal aerodynamic design for the pitch-controlled horizontal axis wind turbine and its aerodynamic performance for various pitch angles are performed numerically by using the blade element momentum theory. The numerical calculation includes effects such as Prandtl‘s tip loss, airfoil distribution, and wake rotation. Six different airfoils are distributed along the blade span, and the special airfoil i.e. airfoil of 40% thickness ratio is adopted at the hub side to have structural integrity. The nonlinear chord obtained from the optimal design procedure is linearized to decrease the weight and to increase the productivity with very little change of the aerodynamic performance. From the comparisons of the power, thrust, and torque coefficients with corresponding values of different pitch angles, the aerodynamic performance shows delicate changes for just $3^{\circ}$ increase or decrease of the pitch angle. For precisive pitch control, it requires the pitch control algorithm and its drive mechanism below $3^{\circ}$ increment of pitch angle. The maximum torque is generated when the speed ratio is smaller than the designed one.

In recent years, embedded systems have been expanding their application domains from traditional applications (such as defense, robots, and artificial satellites) to portable devices which execute more complicated applications such as cellular phones, digital camcoders, PMPs, and MP3 players. So as to manage restricted hardware resources efficiently and to guarantee both temporal and logical correctness, every embedded system use a real-time operating system (RTOS). Only when the RTOS makes kernel services deterministic in time by specifying how long each service call will take to execute, application programers can write predictable applications. Moreover, so as for an RTOS to be deterministic, its scheduling and context switch overhead should also be predictable. In this paper, we present the complete generalized algorithm to determine the highest priority in the ready list with 22r levels of priorities in a constant time without additional memory overhead.
