Automotive fuel tank is generally divided into two parts: main frame and assembly parts. While the car is running, valves are used to prevent liquid carry over and to discharge evaporated gas from the fuel tank. However, current fuel tank designs focus on the gas ventilation or secured location. In this study, the location of the parts used to prevent liquid carry over within the fuel tank is evaluated during an optimal design process. To develop this design process, an approximate optimization is applied. Through the optimal design process, the optimal valve location in fuel tank is determined and the approximate optimization is validated by the Taguchi method. Finally, the optimized valve location is used to reduce the development cost and time and to contribute toward improved automobile quality owing to enhanced reliability.

건설공사 프로젝트는 기획, 설계, 시공, 운영 및 유지관리 등 각 단계의 다양한 참여 주제에 의해 프로젝트가 진행되고 각 분야 간 원활한 의사소통을 통한 협업으로 일을 진행해 나간다. 그러나 각 단계별 커뮤니케이션이 원활히 이뤄지기가 힘들며, 이러한 단계별 분절의 가장 큰 이유 중 하나가 실제적 결과물은 3차원 기반인 것에 비해, 그 과정이 2차원 CAD 시스템에 의존하는 결과와 과정의 격차 때문이다. 그로 인해 각 관련 분야에서 발생되는 정보의 불확실성, 부정확성, 표현의 애매모함 등으로 인해 재작업 및 불필요한 작업이 빈번히 발생하여 전체적인 공정의 지연 및 비용의 문제, 결과물의 품질에 대한 문제가 발생하고 있다. 또한 도면에서의 한계점인 거리감, 공간감 등 실제 사람이 느끼는 Scale감을 알 수 없어 공간에 대한 이해도가 떨어지는 한계점을 극복하지 못하고 있으며 1인칭 작업운영 방식으로 인하여 협업 설계과정에서 원활한 팀워크를 유도 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 협업설계 과정에서 기본설계 단계를 지원하는 설계 도구로서 건축모델의 단순 시각화에서 벗어나 가상공간에서 몰입형 VR 시뮬레이션을 구현하기 위하여 프로토타입 응용을 개발 하였고, 이것을 "Digital Studio"에 구현하여 즉각적인 공간 시뮬레이션을 통하여 실제 시공 전에 문제점들을 검토 및 보완하고 전체적으로는 생산성 향상과 설계 과정 중 오류를 최소화하기 위한 VR시뮬레이션 시스템의 제안 및 Viewer 모듈을 개발 하였다.

In this paper, we introduce smart multi-sensor and environment monitoring system for managing growth and development of the agricultural produces. This system is able to help to collect the sensor information about the growing environment and to monitor in wired and wireless environments. Existing systems installed each kinds of sensor to gather information. In this case, installation cost was incurred about each sensor and the position of sensor set up manually. Therefore, this paper designed and implemented smart multi-sensor that simplify sensors in order to minimize the cost for installing each sensor. In addition, this system is able to monitor position and data information of smart multi-sensor using RFID communication

Due to the restrictions of Flash memory such as overwrite limitation and write/erase operational unit differences, block cleaning is required in Flash memory based file systems and known as a key factor on the performance of file systems. In this paper, we identify three parameters, namely utilization, invalidity and uniformity, and analyze how the parameters affect the cost of block cleaning. The analysis show that as uniformity degrades, the cost of block cleaning increases drastically. To overcome this problem, we design a new modification-aware(MODA) page allocation scheme that strives to keep uniformity high by separating frequently-updating data from infrequently-updating data. Real implementation experiments conducted on an embedded system show that the MODA scheme can actually enhance uniformity of Flash memory, which consequently leads to reduce the cost of block cleaning with an average of 123%, compared to the traditional sequential allocation scheme that is used in YAFFS.

The objectives of this study were to identify engineering problems in the design and installation of cable logging operation that affects productivity through case study of actual logging sites, and to analyze associated productivity loss and increased cost. As a result of the study, when the geographic conditions and engineering safety of the site are not sufficiently considered, deflection of the cable line can not be secured. Hourly productivity of the operation decreased to 65% and the logging cost increased by more than two times compared to the productive yarding operation, which lowered overall efficiency of the operation. Thus, it is required to spread filed technologies that minimize unnecessary production cost incurred due to the in-efficient logging operations as well as secure work safety and efficiency to expand cable logging operation throughout the country.

Access to public facilities such as substations, dams and railway facilities is strictly controlled, and unmanned surveillance equipment has been introduced and operated recently due to the development of IT technology and the government's cost reduction policy. However, if an unmanned surveillance system is broken, surveillance space, information leakage caused by intruders, and damage to facilities may occur. Also, it is necessary to check periodical visit by the manager in order to check the surveillance facilities, which causes additional management costs. In order to solve this problem, we designed a system to check the operation status of the unmanned monitoring facility in real time, attempt to recover automatically when a problem occurs, and notify the administrator of the problem. The designed system consists of an NVR that receives and judges information such as image, sound, and lighting condition, and a control device that detects and restores the state of the unmanned monitoring facility. The system proposed in this paper is expected to contribute to the improvement of the economic efficiency due to the minimization of surveillance space due to the failure of the unmanned monitoring facility and the reduction of the inspection cost.

To complete the "anywhere" mobile service there should not be shaded areas. However, it is never economical to deploy BS's (Base Stations) in a low population density area due to the low resource utilization. We propose a design technique to install RS's(Relay Stations) which are cheaper than BS's and find the condition in which the proposed technique is acceptible. The proposed design technique aims to allocate the frequency and time resources to RS's to minimize the transmission rate degradation due to interferences between RS's as well as to maximize the parallelism in transmission. We showed by simulation that the proposed technique achieves cost benefits when the expected traffic is less than 20.32 percent of the total BS capacity. The proposed technique is compatible with the IEEE 802.16j, thus can be extended to multi-hop configuration.

The share of advanced technology in modern weapon systems are gradually increasing, and life cycle of components are shortened due to the rapid speed of technological development. On the other hand, the weapon systems have a characteristic that takes a long time in the requirement stage of weapon to the operation and maintenance stage. Due to inevitably, obsolescence of the main components for parts occurs in the acquisition phase. The obsolescence parts could cause delays in mass production schedules, and further adversely affects operational availability due to poor supply of repair parts during in the maintenance phase. However, business managers are obliged to maximize the performance while minimizing the cost of the total life cycle of the design, production, and operation stages. It is necessary to establish and implement an appropriate components and parts of life cycle management plan. In this research, we analyzed the effectiveness of parts obsolescence management through cost avoidance and total life cycle cost that can be reduced through proper parts obsolescence management.

The Green Wall system, developed in Austria early 1960, is one of segmental concrete crib type earth retaining wall. Green wall is constructed as procedures that lay the front stretchers, rear stretchers and headers then making a rigid body through harden filled soil of interior cell. Green wall has pro-environmental advantages that able to grow grass in front space of stretchers and decrease cutting ground. In Europe, Green wall used without other reinforcement method. However, green wall used with other reinforcement method like a soil nailing because of environmental problem. This study was performed to introduce the design case by 'Two-Body Translation mechanism' to be able to consider distribution of earth pressure in the soil nailing when designing the green wall using soil nailing system. Also, this study attempts to evaluate the earth pressure change when advanced soil nailing system is constructed using $FLAC^{2D}$ ver. 3.30 program and 'Two-Body Translation mechanism'.
