Application of electric wheelchair, sort of wheelchair which is playing important role in transporting patients and old people, has been increasing. In this study, we designed the electric wheelchairs' driving system. Using the multi-step gear, the driving system can get great power, even though the small capacity of motors. First, we designed the multi-step gear, test its bending strength and contact strength, as well as verified its performance. We installed 'B-type electric brake(Multiple plate clutch, Anti-magnetization) in same axle of the driving system, so it is possible to stop under huge torque and small size. Using this driving system of the multi-step gear which we designed, it's possible to improve driving gear efficiency 30% up and create the high-competitive electric wheelchair. And, it is easy to repair and control.

The nonlinear impacts between the Control Element Drive Mechanisms (CEDMs) seismic cap plates installed on the CEDM top of a pressurized water reactor are studied with the dynamically reduced models of the CEDM and Integrated Head Assembly (IHA). It is important to develope nonlinear models considering the gap effects between the plates. In order to simulate impacts, reduced models for the primary structures, such as CEDM and IHA, are developed through simplifying detailed models, and the nonlinear structural analysis is performed under seismic loading conditions. The responses are examined in various gap sizes depending on the reactor operating conditions.

The magnetic jack type Control Element Drive Mechanism (CEDM) had been developed and verified through electromechanical testing including the testing of the magnetic force required to lift the control element assembly. It would become inefficient in view of cost and time for parametric studies to be performed by test to improve the CEDM system. So it becomes necessary to develop a computational model to simulate the electromagnetic characteristics of the CEDM in order to improve the CEDM design efficiently. In this paper it is presented that the electromagnetic analysis using a 2D axisymmetric FEM model has been carried out to simulate the operation of the latch magnet of the CEDM to generate a current trace for latch coil. The results show the calculated current trace is very similar to the real current trace taken from the CEDM.

In order to maintain a constant speed ratio between the tractor and attached seed planter, a feedback control unit to rotate the feed shaft of the planter in proportional to the ground speed of the tractor was designed. The fifth wheel was used as a ground speed sensor for the unit. Using this control unit a feed shaft driving system was developed and tested to estimate its performance both in laboratory and fields. The test results showed that the system rotates the feed shaft proportionally to the ground speed in the range of the normal planting speed of 0.5-0.8m/s with errors less than 5%.

The traditional 60[Hz] power supply for during magnetron in microwave oven has disadvantages of heavy weight and low efficiency due to 60[Hz] High Voltage Transformer(HVT), capacitor and th phase control of thyristors. To alleviate these disadvantages, this paper proposes a 20[kHz] phase-shifted Full-Bridge(FB) Zero-Voltage-Switched(ZVS) PWM converter for driving a 600[W] magnetron in an 1[kW] microwave oven. The proposed converter has advantages of light weight and high power density.

근래에 Texas Instruments(TI)사에서 개발된 TMS3320LF240x는 고정 소숫점 방식의 16비트 DSP으로써 저가, 고성능용으로 개발된 칩이다. 이 DSP는 비교적 빠른 계산속도에 다양한 입력/출력장치를 내장하고 있으므로 DSP 장점과 마이크로제어기의 장점을 모두 가지고 있다. 특히 Flash 메모리, RAM 등 메모를 포함하여 8-16채널 이상 A/D 컨버터, Timer, 직력통신과 함께 PWM인버터/컨버터용 PWM펄스까지 출력시킬 수 있으므로, 이 DSP는 각종 전동기 구동시스템과 SUP, 능동필터 제어 등 전력전자 분야에서 적합하게 설계된 DSP로 상당히 많이 사용되고 있다. 그런데 TMS320LF240x는 고정 소숫점 방식의 16비트 DSP이므로 연산량이 많은 시스템에서는 적용하기 힘들며, 또는 저장할 데이터량이 많은 제어시스템일 경우에는 내장된 flash 및 SRAM 등 메모리 용량이 부족하는 등 사용하는데 문제가 있을 가능성이 있다.(중략)

Pneumatic actuators are clean, lightweight, and can be easily serviced, whereas low energy efficiency has been considered as a critical shortcoming compared with corresponding hydraulic and electrical actuators. This study describes a new design method of pneumatic cylinder driving apparatus by lowering a supply pressure. The simulation study demonstrates that the designed system with the proposed method can operate at the smaller energy consumption state compare to the designed system with the conventional method for the specified working conditions.

This paper presents a design method using CAE(Computer Aided Engineering ) with the consideration of reliability for optimal gear driving system. This method considered a configuration of the intermediate shaft. There are four mounting types, such as double straddle, double overhung, output gear overhung, and input ger overhung in the intermediate shaft. The reliability and life analysis are based on the two-parameter Weigbull distribution lives of the gears and bearing . The validity and feasibility of the proposed method are verified by the application to transmission of a industry machine.

We examined and corrected the periodic error of the LX200-16 Telescope driving system of Chungbuk National University Campus Observatory. Before correcting, the standard deviation of the periodic error in the direction of East-West was $\sigma$=7."2. After correcting, we found that the periodic error was reduced to $\sigma$=1."2.

원자력/화력 발전소에서 사용중인 터빈출력제어장치(turbine power control device)는 유압 서보액추에이터(hydraulic servo actuator)로 구동하는 특수 스팀 밸브(steam valve)로서 터빈의 속도를 제어하고 스팀을 차단하는 기능이 있다. 대형 발전기(500~1000Mw)를 구동하여 양질의 전기를 생산하기 위해서는 발전기에 연결된 고압 및 저압터빈에 최적량의 스팀을 공급하여야 하고, 고속(화력 3600 rpm, 원자력 1800 rpm)으로 회전하는 터빈이나 스팀계통에 이상이 발생할 경우 터빈의 과속(over speed) 방지를 위하여, 즉시 터빈으로 공급되는 스팀을 차단하여 터빈을 보호해야 한다. 따라서 터빈의 속도제어와 계통의 스팀 량을 감시하여 차단하는 발전소의 특수 밸브의 신뢰성확보기술이 요구된다. 특히 원자력발전소의 경우 핵연료교환주기(약 24개월)에 밸브들을 정비 또는 교체하고 있어 이때마다 시스템과 매칭(튜닝)기술이 요구되었다. 본 연구에서는 전량 수입에 의존했던 원자력/화력 발전소의 특수 밸브인 터빈출력제어장치의 국산화 개발과 신뢰성확보기술 효과에 대하여 논하였다.
