It is important that we maintain the synchronous time-information with each other in the synchronous system. The most functions in the synchronous system need the time-information. n we have the wrong time-information, the system would operate incorrectly. So, we need to check if the time-information is correct or not in the important block of the synchronous system. In this paper, we will discuss how to check the clock signal and find some problem of it. Then, we will suggest the alternative plan.

Accurate and reliable tracking of train is essential for a train control system. The fixed block system which utilizes the track circuit has been used widely for detecting train position. As an alternative, the moving block system has the advantage over the fixed block system since it enables shorter headway and easier maintenance. This paper presents a new technique for the train tracking system which uses radio signal for the train position detection. The proposed algorithm uses the phase difference of arrival of radio signal for the detection of train position. Experimental verification of the algorithm is presented in the paper.

Conventional DLLs estimate the delay times of satellite signals individually and feed back these measurements to the VCO independently. But VDLL estimates delay times and user position directly and then estimate the feedback term for VCO using the estimated position changes. In this process, input measurements are treated as vectors and these vectors are used for navigation. First advantage of VDLL is that noise is reduced in all of the tracking channels making them less likely to enter the nonlinear region and fall below threshold. Second is that VDLL can operate successfully when the conventional independent parallel DLL approach fails completely. It means that VDLL receiver can get enough total signal power to track successfully to obtain accurate position estimates under the same conditions where the signal strength from each individual satellite is so low or week that none of the individual scalar DLL can remain in lock when operating independently. To operate VDLL successfully, it needs to know the initial user dynamics and position and prevents total system from the divergence. The suggested integration method is to use the inertial navigation system to provide initial dynamics for VDLL and to maintain total system stable. We designed the GPS/INS integrated navigation system. This new type of integrated system contained the vector pseudorange format generation block, VDLL signal processing block, position estimation block and the conversion block from position change to delay time feedback term aided by INS.

In this paper, an optimal planning system for operating transporters in shipyard is developed. The system is designed to utilize the geometries of shipyard, and manage the data of blocks and transporters directly. There are four major menus such as shipyard map management based on GIS, block transportation request, transporter management, and optimal transportation planning in the system. The geometries and properties of the shops, roads, and addresses are manipulated in the shipyard map management menu. The block transportation requests and the properties of transporters are managed in the block transportation request and transporter management menus, respectively. The optimum transportation is planned automatically for minimizing the unload times of the transporters, and the optimum transportation plans are confirmed and printed to the transporter drivers. The effectiveness of the system was verified through the application to a large-sized shipyard.

Leakage in water supply system can cause water resources loss in addition to the water quality degradation. In this research, leakage reduction after establishment of a block system in the area with leakage rate of 69.0 % was investigated using EPANET simulation. The average water pressure for the research area was $5.17kgf/cm^2$ which was relatively high, and several sites were deviated from recommended water pressure ranges(i.e., 1.5 ~ $7.1kgf/cm^2$). However, the average water pressure in the area was reduced to 3.81 and $3.49kgf/cm^2$ after the introduction of block system with a water pressure relief valve(PRV) setting of 3.0 and $2.5kgf/cm^2$, respectively. Under the installation of a PRV with regulating pressure of $2.5kgf/cm^2$, the predicted leakage was reduced from $4,420.3m^3/d$ to $3,028.1m^3/d$, which was equivalent to the leakage reduction from 31.0 % to 23.5 %.

This paper deals with the implementation of electronic voting system using permissioned block chain technology. Cases studies have recently been under way in many industrial areas to review the application of the blockchain based electronic voting system. The existing electronic voting system was easily exposed by hacking because of its centralized characteristics, making it difficult to ensure the reliability and transparency of the voting system itself. In this study, we proposed key considerations and concepts to ensure the reliability and transparency of voters and voting stakeholder by utilizing a hyperledger fabric which is nowadays widely used as a permissioned blockchain.

The anchor block is a specially designed concrete member intended to withstand pullout or thrust forces from backfill material of an internally stabilized anchored earth retaining wall by passive resistance of soil in front of the block. This study presents small-scale laboratory experimental works to investigate the pullout capacity of a concrete anchor block embedded in air dry sand and located at different distances from yielding boundary wall. The experimental setup consists of a large tank made of fiberglass sheets and steel framing system. A series of tests was carried out in the tank to investigate the load-displacement behavior of anchor block. Experimental results are then compared with the theoretical approaches suggested by different researchers and codes. The appropriate placement of an anchor block and the passive resistance coefficient, which is multiplied by the passive resistance in front of the anchor block to obtain the pullout capacity of the anchor, were also studied.

ABA type block copolymers composed of r benzyle L-glutamate as the A component and poly(ethylene glycol) as the B components were obtained. Platelet adhesion on their sunfaces was investigated by a column elusion method to examine the effects of microdomain and secondary structure. The number of platelets adhered from whole blood and plasma rich platelet was smaller for the block copolymer systems than for the homopolymers. In the block copolymer system, the number of platelets adrered on their surfaces increased with increasing the content of PEG, that is, with decreasing of a-helix of block copolymers. A thick thrombus formation on the PBLG homopolymer was observed than block copolymer by scanning electron micrographs. The platelets adhesion increased with increasing the critical surface tension of the block copolymer.

A real-time system is used for various systems from small embedded systems to distributed enterprise systems. Because it has a characteristic that provides a service on time, developers should make efforts to keep this property about time when developing real-time applications. As the result of research about real-time system indicates, TMO model supports various functions for time processing according to the real-time concept. And it guarantees response time which developers defined. So developers need a point of reference to define deadline and check the correctness of time. This paper proposes an improved PS-Block as an infrastructure of analysis tools for TMO to present a point of reference. There is a problem that the existing PS-Block has overhead caused by a policy making duplicated blocks. As such, this paper implements a PS-Block Timing Model to reduce the overhead due to block duplication, and defines a base class for searching in PS-Block. The PS-Block Timing Model, using an improved PS-Block structure, offers a point of reference of deadline and an infrastructure of execution time analysis according to the PS-Block configuration policy. Therefore, TMO developers can easily verify deadline of real-time methods, and improve reliability, and reduce development terms.

This study aims to evaluate the satisfaction of students with a block system and it's effect on preparing students for a culinary career in the future. Summing up the outcomes of this study, male students reported higher levels of satisfaction than female students not only regarding a block system $perse$ (significant level 0.05) but with regards to career preparation as well (level 0.01). According to the choice variations disclosed by this study, a strong correlation exists with each of the p-values 0.000. Additionally, satisfaction with a block system appears to be strongly related to how well it is perceived to prepare students for future jobs with a RSQ = 0.840. Summing up the study's conclusions on gender effects, satisfaction with a block system is higher for males than females due to its being physically harder to take for female than for male students. Also, student grades have no correlation with satisfaction with a block system while they show significant differences in future job will. Freshmen (first year students) displayed the strongest level of satisfaction regarding future career preparation while seniors (fourth year students) the lowest. According to these results, we can posit a theory; gender and study years have an effect on the satisfaction with a block educational program and perceived value of career preparation. Therefore, culinary instructors and planners should consider this study's results to improve student satisfaction and future job preparedness.
