  • Crane systems have been widely used for transportation in building sites, ports, nuclear wastehandling operation and so on. As a typical underactuated system, an overhead crane has such merits as high flexibility and less energy consumption. And it's getting more types of cranes, universally applicable algorithms should be developed. That is the design and development of scalable algorithms are required. Developed algorithms can be used for the controller and crane overload protection that meets the requirements of the algorithm are presented. These algorithms force the state to warn the operator and stops the operation of equipment. In this paper, crane overload conditions that can cause damage to alert the operator, and to limit the operation of equipment overload protection algorithm is presented.

  • The demand of cyclotron for PET (positron emission tomography) has rapidly grown as the more use of PET or PET-CT equipment requires the increased amount of radioactive isotopes for clinical positron emission. While research on failure statistics of medical equipment used in medical centers has continued to be done, the analysis and study on failure statistics of cyclotron have rarely been conducted. However, the growing demand shows the urgency of systematical management guideline and countermeasures for device failure to minimize any supply delay of radiopharmaceuticals occurred by such failure and complains from waiting patients for PET-CT diagnosis. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the failure report from Minitrace equipped in cyclotron which is owned by the department of nuclear medicine at Yeungnam University Medical Center and draws on the data to build effective management system for cyclotron.

  • A microcomputer -based data acquistion system was designed and developed at Michigan State University , USA to conduct field data studies. The system designed for the research carried out used an Apple IIe microcomputer for collecting data on-board the tractor. An AII3 Analog to Digital (A/D_ convertor was chosen to interface each analog signal to the microcomputer. A commercially available Dj TPM II was employed to display information such as an engine speed, ground speed, percent drive wheel slip , distance travelled and area covered per hour. The frequency output from the radar unit was channeled through a frequency to voltage (F/V) convertor , so that AII3 Analog to Digital (A/D) convertor could read it. The fuel consumption was measured using on EMCO pdp-1 fuel flow meter attached to the engine fuel line. The draft of the tillage and other drag equipment was determined using strain gages attached to the drawbar of the tractor. The system was developed to collect the draft and fuel requirements for various farm equipment different kind of soils.

  • A high-speed data transmission system is designed for the ground inspection equipment of satellite measurement and control. Based on USB2.0, the system consists of interface chip CY7C68013A, programmable logic processing unit EP4CE30F23C8, analog/digital and digital/analog conversion units. The working principle of data transmission is analyzed, and the system software logic and hardware composition scheme are detailed. The system was utilized to output/capture and store specific data packets. The results show that the high-speed data transmission speed can reach 38MB/s, and the system is effective for satellite test requirements.

  • These days the injection molding work and press work are in the trend of needing the precision control of position and pressure in a high speed. On the other hand the digital computer technology is developing rapidly. And recently the digital servo controller using micro controller become to be used more broadly, because of the merit of digital communication. In this study the sequential control of hydraulic system switching from position to pressure and to position is tried using the HACD(Hydraulic Axis Controller Digital for electrohydraulic drives) which is manufactured by BoschRexroth. Through this, the possibility of the precision sequential control using the digital servo controller HACD is examined.

  • This paper quantitatively presents the effects of important factors of the probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) of safety-critical digital systems. The result which is quantified using fault tree analysis methodology shows that these factors remarkably affect the system safety. In this paper we list the factors which should be represented by the model for PSA. Based on the PSA experience, we select three important factors which are expected to dominate the system unavailability. They are the avoidance of common cause failure, the coverage of fault tolerant mechanisms and software failure probability. We Quantitatively demonstrate the effect of these three factors. The broader usage of digital equipment in nuclear power plants gives rise to the safety problems. Even though conventional PSA methods are immature for applying to microprocessor-based digital systems, practical needs force us to apply it because the result of PSA plays an important role in proving the safety of a designed system. We expect the analysis result to provide valuable feedback to the designers of digital safety- critical systems.

The compiled code are then fed to a synthesizer synopsys to get the actual hardware from 0.35$\mu\textrm{m}$ SAMSUNG standard cell library. The designed functionalities of this chip will be verified using test bold with FPGA equipment and ATS2 digital test equipment.
