The fourth industrial revolution encourages manufacturing industry to pursue a new paradigm shift to meet customers' diverse demands by managing the production process efficiently. However, it is not easy to manage efficiently a variety of tasks of all the processes including materials management, production management, process control, sales management, and inventory management. Especially, to set up an efficient production schedule and maintain appropriate inventory is crucial for tailored response to customers' needs. This paper deals with the optimized inventory policy in a steel company that produces granule products under supply contracts of three targeted on-time delivery rates. For efficient inventory management, products are classified into three groups A, B and C, and three differentiated production cycles and safety factors are assumed for the targeted on-time delivery rates of the groups. To derive the optimized inventory policy, we experimented eight cases of combined safety stock and data analysis methods in terms of key performance metrics such as mean inventory level and sold-out rate. Through simulation experiments based on real data we find that the proposed optimized inventory policy reduces inventory level by about 9%, and increases surplus production capacity rate, which is usually used for the production of products in Group C, from 43.4% to 46.3%, compared with the existing inventory policy.

A grid-connected inverter used for renewable energy resources produces harmonic components in the switching frequency. To effectively reduce switching harmonic components, several types of filter are generally used in the output stage of the grid-connected inverter. Many research works on LCL filter design have been done to maintain the performance with low cost. However, it is not easy to make the filter design be economical and optimal due to the varying characteristic of magnetic core and redundancy design by experience. In this paper, a design method for a LCL filter is presented through the inductor optimization scheme in view of the size and cost when the inductor is manufactured using the magnetic core. The effectiveness is verified through tests using a 3kW grid-connected inverter by simulations and experiments.

In the electric power industry, it is important that the supply of energy must be guaranteed. Many power utilities control and supervise the transmission line to avoid power failures. In case of underground tunnel, some troubles are reported in cable joint. To stabilize the power, it is needed to monitor the cable joint. Many researches of cable joint monitoring have been going on by partial discharge measurement and temperature measurement using optical cable. These methods need much cost to install and maintain, so it is only used in critical transmission line. In this research, we use wireless sensor technology, because of its low cost and easy installation. We develop the temperature monitoring system for cable joint. Temperature sensor is installed on the surface of cable joint and sends data to server through router node using wireless network. Generally Ad hoc routing is searched in wireless network. However, in this research, we design the static linear routing mechanism, which is suitable for electric power line monitoring and analyze the life time of the sensor node by measuring the amount of the battery consumption.

The Nd： YAG laser is commonly used throughout many fields such as accurate material processing, IC marking, semiconductor annealing, medical operation devices, etc., due to the fact that it has good thermal and mechanical properties and is easy to maintain. In materials processing, it is essential to vary the laser power density for specific materials. The laser power density can be mainly controlled by the current pulse width and pulse repetition rate. It is important to control the laser energy in those fields using a pulsed laser. In this paper we propose the constant-frequency current resonant half-bridge converter and monitoring of capacitor charging voltage. This laser power supply is designed and fabricated to have less switching loss, compact size, isolation with primary and secondary transformers, and detection of capacitor charging voltage. Also, the output stabilization characteristics of this Nd： YAG laser system are investigated. The test results are described as a function of laser output energy and flashlamp arc discharging constant. At the energy storage capacitor charges constant voltage, the laser output power is 2.3％ error range in 600[V].

This paper presents the result if a study m the development of a net type wave absorber with air pumping. The authors already show the usefulness of net type wave absorber in the previous study. However, when it comes to the long waves, it was not easy to maintain the same efficiency with net type wave absorber only. The authors tried to overcome this difficulty by adding air bubbles to the water. The results show that combining the net type wave absorber and the air bubble is more efficient than single adoptation of the wave absorber or a net type wave absorber.

In this paper, a mobile banking system which can provide banking services is introduced. Since a PDA has excellent features like a small-size computer and provides mobility, it has been widely used by salesmen. Therefore, if general banking services can be provided with PDA by using wireless technology, it will be very useful. In addition, it is easy to develop and maintain the client software of PDA because it uses Windows-based operation systems. In this paper, a PDA banking system is introduced. The system is designed and developed based on the techniques of wireless network, security and PDA programming to be used for mobile banking and a prototype system is developed. Moreover, we used the object-oriented modeling technique, UML and Java Beans for programming.

A number of algorithm using the VSS(Variable Structure System) for uncertain dynamic system are developed. But, in these algorithms, the assumption that the uncertainties are bounded and their bounds are available to the designer is involved. And bounds on the uncertainties are an important clue to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. However, sometimes bounds on the uncertainties may not be easily obtained because of the complexity of the structure of the uncertainties. Therefore, a methodology by which the boundary values on the uncertainties can be easily obtained is required. The VSS proposed in this proposal employ the new adaptive VSS scheme for uncertain dynamic system being estimated on line. The resulting control law is simple and easy to apply to on line computer control. It can also suppress chattering and maintain good tracking precision even if unmodeled dynamics are considered. And, a new method using nonlinear switching surface is introduced so that the speed response is improved and the good transient response can be obtained. Simulation results are presented and show the advantage of the proposed adaptive VSS with nonlinear switching surfaces.

Critical environmental elements for long term preservation of a paper are temperature, humidity, dust, light, contaminants in air, and mold. Especially, temperature and humidity need special care, because they can not only directly degrade paper but also affect the degradation of the other elements. Therefore methods to monitor variation of temperature and relative humidity were studied. One of the methods was to use preservation index for evaluating preservation environment. Since the evaluation for preservation environment of a stack room investigated firstly by D. K. Sebera, PI(preservation index) and TWPI(Time-Weighted Preservation Index) by IPI is made to evaluate relatively preservation environment in a stack room. T. Padfield developed method which could calculate easy PI and TWPI. In this study, the preservation environment of stack rooms for paper storage in NAK(National Archives Korea) was evaluated by PI and TWPI. PI and TWPI of stack rooms for paper storage in NAK maintained good condition but PI depended on season. Then the preservation environment of stack rooms for paper storage in NAK was required to maintain continuously PI and TWPI regardless of season change.

Recently many documents have been written by HTML due to the expansion of the Internet and WWW. HTML allows scripting languages to interact between an user and an browser. Sometimes there might have problems with some functions of the script language. Some functions have the same name although the different contents and vice versa. It presents tremendous difficulties to maintain the functions. And, a file includes many functions shared among documents. If a user tries to see a HTML document, the file will be sent to the web browser in the user system. The network resource is wasted due to moving all data in the file through the network although some functions in the file is not used. So, we should design and implement the code library of a script language with a database. Each function has the name and arguments. A system of the code library manages functions with them. The system has the functions consistency and reduces the network resource consumption because there are only necessary functions in documents. Beside it is easy for the system to modify and reuse the functions.

The main purpose of this research is to propose advanced bridge-decks surfacing from the examples of In-Cheon bridge with Guss asphalt and Gyul-Hyeon bridge with stone matrix asphalt(SMA) concrete. The research results presented that the Guss asphalt concrete pavement was weak when rutting was developed due to the low resistance at high temperatures. The SMA concrete pavement demonstrated good resistance to plastic deformations and was easy to maintain pavement conditions. The results mentioned above are generalized in developed counties where surfacing pavement techniques for steel bridge-decks are advanced. However, due to the lack of construction experiences in Korea, appropriate construction guidelines and organized research for the steel bridge deck pavements are necessary for more advanced steel bridge decks surfacing.
