This paper proposes the new adaptive protection algorithm for inverse-time overcurrent relays (OCRs) to ensure their proper operating time and protective coordination. The application of the proposed algorithm requires digital protection relays with microcontroller and memory. The operating parameters of digital OCRs are adjusted based on the available data whenever system conditions (system with distributed generation (DG)) vary. Moreover, it can reduce the calculation time required to determine the operating parameters for achieving its purpose. To verify its effectiveness, several case studies are performed in time-domain simulation. The results show that the proposed adaptive protection algorithm can keep the proper operating time and provide the protective coordination time interval with fast response.

An over current relay(OCR), one of the most frequently used protective devices, has time-current characteristics (TCC) to control its trip time according to the current level. It is because an appropriate operating time interval is necessary for coordination with other protective devices. A set of TCC curves of an OCR is, in general, given by the supplier from which a curve is selected by the operator. Therefore, in many cases, it is impossible to consider the operation condition of the given power system exactly. A novel concept of an OCR is suggested in this paper. The proposed OCR has an internal correction module so that it may produce the most adequate TCC curve according to the given protective information for coordination with other devices. With the generated TCC curve, a variety of operation and coordination conditions can be taken into consideration in an effective manner. The suggested OCR is applied to a simple test power system to show very promising results from a coordination point of view.

Recently, various devices requiring text input such as mobile phone IPTV, PDA and UMPC are emerging. The frequency of text entry for them is also increasing. This study was focused on the evaluation of Korean text entry interface. Various models to evaluate text entry interfaces have been proposed. Most of models were based on human cognitive process for text input. The cognitive process was divided into two components; visual scanning process and finger movement process. The time spent for visual scanning process was modeled as Hick-Hyman law, while the time for finger movement was determined as Fitts' law. There are three questions on the model-based evaluation of text entry interface. Firstly, are human cognitive processes (visual scanning and finger movement) during the entry of text sequentially occurring as the models. Secondly, is it possible to predict real text input time by previous models. Thirdly, does the human cognitive process for text input vary according to users' text entry speed. There was time gap between the real measured text input time and predicted time. The time gap was larger in the case of participants with high speed to enter text. The reason was found out investigating Eye-Hand Coordination during text input process. Differently from an assumption that visual scan on the keyboard is followed by a finger movement, the experienced group performed both visual scanning and finger movement simultaneously. Arrival Lead Time was investigated to measure the extent of time overlapping between two processes. 'Arrival Lead Time' is the interval between the eye fixation on the target button and the button click. In addition to the arrival lead time, it was revealed that the experienced group uses the less number of fixations during text entry than the novice group. This result will contribute to the improvement of evaluation model for text entry interface.

최근 무선 네트워킹 장치들이 등장 하면서 제한된 배터리에 의존하는 무선 호스트들의 전력 절감은 중요한 이슈 가 되었다. 특히 Ad-Hoc에서 배터리는 제한된 에너지를 제공하기 때문에 무선 호스트에 의해서 소모되어지는 에너지의 양을 감소시키기 위한 기술은 대단히 중요하다. 특히 MAC 과 라우팅 에서 전력 절감을 이루기 위한 논문들이 기존에 발표 되었다. 이 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 표준의 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)에서의 전력 절감 메카니즘을 향상 시킨 논문 이다. DCF를 위한 IEEE 802.11 전력 절감 메카니즘에서는 비콘 간격 이라는 시간으로 나누어지며 또한 이러한 각각의 비콘 간격이 시작될 때 각각의 노드들은 ATIM 창 동안 깨어 있어야 한다. 물론 모든 노드는 같은 시간에 깨어 있기 위해서는 동기화 되는 것이 필요하다. ATIM 창 동안 노드들은 비콘 기간 동안 깨어 있는 상태로 있을 것인지를 결정하기 위해서 control packet을 교환 한다. 이러한 ATIM 창 크기는 각각의 노드들의 전력 절감에 상당한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 이 논문은 ATIM 창 크기를 동적으로 증감시켜서 보다 에너지 효율을 발휘 하고자 하는 논문이다.

최근, 대용량의 태양광전원이 연계된 배전계통은 기존의 단방향과 달리 양방향의 조류가 발생하고, 태양광전원의 연계위치 및 고장위치에 따라 사고전류의 크기와 방향이 변하여, 보호기기간의 협조시간차가 충분히 확보되지 않는 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 또한, 태양광전원을 고려하지 않은 기존의 보호기기 정정치를 그대로 적용하고 있어 보호기기간의 협조시간차를 확보하기 어려운 상황이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양광전원이 연계된 선로에서 고려할 수 있는 3가지 Case의 보호기기 정정치 운용모드를 제시하고, 이를 바탕으로 태양광전원의 용량에 따른 최적의 보호협조 시간을 도출할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 한편, 이를 바탕으로 보호협조 전용소프트웨어인 Off-DAS를 이용하여, 태양광전원이 연계된 배전계통을 모델링하고, 보호기기(변전소 계전기, 리클로저(Recloser), 고객계전기, 태양광전원 고객계전기)간의 협조시간차 특성을 분석한다. 실 계통을 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 본 논문에서 제시한 보호기기의 정정치 운용 모드와 정정치 산정 방식이 태양광 전원이 연계된 배전계통 보호기기간의 협조시간을 안정적으로 확보할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

분산 시스템에 결함 내성 기능을 제공하는 기법의 하나인, 검사점을 이용한 회복 기법을 효율 적으로 구현하기 위해서는 최적화된 검사점 설정 구간의 선택이 매우 중요한 문제로 인식되고 있다. 본 논문은 분산 시스템내의 각 프로세스 적절한 검사점 설정 구간을 프로세스의 연산 중에서 동적으로 스케 쥴링 하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 시스템내에의 각 프로세스가 현 검사점 구간 동안으 검사점 설정 비용과 가능한 롤백 회복 비용을 비교 평가하고, 다음 검사점 설정을 위한 적절한 구간을 계산한다. 대부분의 기존 기법들과는 달리 제안된 기법은 검사점과 롤백 두 가지 비용 모두를 최소화는 구간 값 을 선택하여 , 현 검사점 구간 동안의 통신 형태를 고려한 구간 값을 선택한다. 또한 검사점 설정 구간 선 택을 위한 별도의 통신비용의 요구되지 않으며, 제안된 기법의 기존의 검사점 조정 기법들과 쉽게 통합되어 사용될수 있다.

The present study examined pharmacokinetic profiles of KBP31705-Cl27 and KBP30603-901, new platinum coordination complexes synthesized as anticancer candidates, in comparison with two well-known platinum-containing anticancer agents, cisplatin and carboplatin in rats. Under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia of male Sprague-Dawley rats, urinary bladder, and femoral artery and vein were catheterized for urine collection, blood sampling and drug injection, respectively Following i.v. administration of cisplatin (2 mg/kg), KBP31705-C127 (2 mg/kg), carboplatin (20 mg/kg) or KBP30603-901 (20 mg/kg), blood samples were collected at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 120 minutes. Urine samples were collected at 1-hr interval for 4 hr. Platinum concentrations in plasma and urine were measured using an inductively coupled plasmamass spectrometer. The plasma concentration-time curves were biphasic for all drugs during the time period studied. Compared with cisplatin, KBP31705-C127 showed similar decay patters in the alpha- and betaphases with slightly lower plasma concentrations. Urinary platinum excretion for cisplatin and KBP31705-C 127 was 56 and 52% of the administered dose in 4 hr, respectively. With regard to carboplatin and KBP 30603-901, a similar decay pattern was also observed in the alpha-phase. The half life of KBP30603-901 in the beta-phase, however, was much longer than that of carboplatin, which was consistent with the urinary excretion results that 46 and 59% of the administered dose were excreted in the urine in 4hr, respectively. The results suggest that platinum coordination complexes are primarily excreted via the renal route and KBP30603-901 can elicit longer duration of action due to slower renal excretion compared to carboplatin.

The large-eddy simulation(LES) was carried out to evaluate the drag and static pressure acting on the blade surface of a small-size axial fan(SSAF) under the condition of unsteady-state, incompressible fluid and three-dimensional coordination. The axial component of drag coefficient increases with the increase of operating load, but the radial components have negligible sizes regardless of operating loads. Otherwise, the static pressures acting on the blade surfaces of SSAF show different distributions around the operating point of D equivalent to the stall. Also, with the increase of operating load, the static pressures acting on the pressure and suction surfaces of blade concentrate at the tips and leading-edges as a whole.

The IEEE 802.11 is a MAC protocol which has been standardized by IEEE for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). In the IEEE 802.11 WLANs, network nodes experiencing collisions on the shared channel need to backoff for a random period of time, which is uniformly selected from the Contention Window (CW). This contention window is dynamically controlled by the Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) algorithm. However, the BEB scheme suffers from a fairness problem; some nodes can achieve significantly larger throughput than others. This paper proposes a new backoff algorithm for the IEEE 802.11 DCF scheme. This algorithm uses the hop count for considering fairness. It causes flows with high hop count to generate short backoff interval than those with low hop count, thus getting high priority. Therefore, when a collision occurs, the modified IEEE 802.11 DCF assigns higher priority to flow to be close to a destination.
