Laser flash method have been widely used for practical measuring method of thermal diffusivity. And it can be used for measurement of non-conductive materials as well as conductive materials and also for measuring thermal multi-properties. We have analyzed effects of error occurring during measurement of thermal properties in order to enhance measuring accuracy. Also we have studied delay time between measurement starting time with synchronizing signal and laser oscillating time, because it is important that measuring a time to rise temperature of specimen from room temperature to a half of measuring temperature at measuring a thermal diffusivity by laser flash method. We could reduce non-uniform heating error from non-uniform energy distribution by developing 3D uniformizer to eliminate non-uniform heating error. We have measured thermal diffusivities of POCO AXM-5Q1 and Glassy-Carbon which are standard specimen of NIST(USA) and candidate standard specimen of NRLM(japan) respectively for laser flash method. Maximum error fell within 2% for POCO AXM-5Ql gaphite and 2% for Glassy-Carbon. Those results showed error decreasing methods were effective.

A partial discharge(PD) measurement is a very effective method to assess the insulation condition of high-voltage machines. It is necessary that the life time of the on-line PD measurement sensor is assessed. Therefore, the electrical life time assessment method of ceramic element was reviewed in order to estimate the life time of the on-line PD measurement sensor. The samples were prepared according to the reviewed method and were tested at 8kV, 9kV and 10kV. Based on the obtained results, the life time constant is shown above 59. Also, it is assumed that the estimated life time constant can be used to anticipate the life time and to assess the conformity of the on-line PD measurement sensor.

This article is concerned with effective numerical techniques for partial differential equation (PDE)-based image restoration. Numerical realizations of most PDE-based denoising models show a common drawback: loss of fine structures. In order to overcome the drawback, the article introduces a new time-stepping procedure, called the method of nonflat time evolution (MONTE), in which the timestep size is determined based on local image characteristics such as the curvature or the diffusion magnitude. The MONTE provides PDE-based restoration models with an effective mechanism for the equalization of the net diffusion over a wide range of image frequency components. It can be easily applied to diverse evolutionary PDE-based restoration models and their spatial and temporal discretizations. It has been numerically verified that the MONTE results in a significant reduction in numerical dissipation and preserves fine structures such as edges and textures satisfactorily, while it removes the noise with an improved efficiency. Various numerical results are shown to confirm the claim.

As mechanical facilities are interacting with each other, the failure of some equipment can affect the entire system, so it is necessary to quickly detect and diagnose the abnormality of mechanical equipment. This study proposes a deep learning model that can effectively diagnose abnormalities in rotating machinery and equipment. CNN is widely used for feature extraction and LSTMs are known to be effective in learning sequential information. In LSTM, the number of parameters and learning time increase as the length of input data increases. In this study, we propose a method of segmenting an input segment signal into shorter-length sub-segment signals, sequentially inputting them to CNN through a time-distributed method for extracting features, and inputting them into LSTM. A failure diagnosis test was performed using the vibration data collected from the motor for ventilation equipment installed at the urban railway station. The experiment showed an accuracy of 99.784% in fault diagnosis. It shows that the proposed method is effective in the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery and equipment.

The proposed method uses Generalized Cross Correlation - Phase Transform (GCC-PHAT) method with nonlinear preprocessing and a frequency domain low-pass filter. In this paper, by reinterpreting the calculation process of GCC-PHAT as DFT, we derive that there is an effective frequency band used for time delay estimation in GCC-PHAT, and by using only the effective band using a low-pass filter, the noise component is reduced and it improvesthe time delay performance in impulsive noise environments. By comparing the proposed method with the traditional GCC-PHAT in an impulsive noise environment, we show that the GCC-PHAT becomes more robust to the impulsive noise.

The performance of real-time systems depends upon how well the tasks are scheduled within a cycle time and how fastly the response is made according to the occurrence of an external event. This paper presents the design of an effective real-time data acquisition system in order to gather the data from an automobile engine. This paper investigates an estimation and a restriction method of execution for aperiodic data. Also, the guarantee problem of real-time constraint is presented for periodic data. Through the experiments, the hard real-time guarantee problem of periodic data is studied and the damage problem of periodic data according to the increase of aperiodic tasks is analyzed.

This paper is concerned with effective operating method of pneumatic on-off valves for improving position control accuracy, valve life-time and position settling time using modified pulse width modulation with dead-zone (MPWMD). The pneumatic system using on-off valves has advantage of simple construction and low cost compared with a system with servo-valves. The performance of the proposed control method is investigated experimentally for the position control of a pneumatic cylinder using on-off valves. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm for valve operation can be used to obtain fast and accurate position control compared to the conventional PWMD algorithm. It is also shown that the use of the proposed MPWMD algorithm for the position control significantly reduces the number of valve switching and noise.

Steel is the most used as materials for construction and corrosion expansion of steel due to outdoor corrosive environmental factor bring serious problem on the durability of concrete structures time after time. It is the purpose of this study to see whether it is effective of not, when sacrificial anode method is adapted. Indoor accelerated corrosion testing was carried out to see its effective in a short term. From the mid result, potential of steel in concrete in case of adapting sacrifice anode method satisfacts protection standard value (less than-850mV vs CSE), therefore sacrificial anode method is considered as a proper protection steps against corrosion of steel.

We examine the standalone lightning warning system (LWS) and its warning performances for three years. This system acquires and analyzes the data of cloud-to-ground strike (CG), intra-cloud discharge (IC) and electrostatic field (EF) to produce prior warnings with respect to the impending arrival of CG in the area of concern (AOC). The warnings in this system are carried out based on the fixed two areas method. To evaluate warning performances, we analyzed the statistics of warnings with probability of detection (POD) and false alarm ratio (FAR). Based on the previous study, we revised the trigger and clear conditions of lightning warning for improving the performances of the system. As a result of this revision, POD increased from 0.18 to 0.44 and FAR decreased from 0.96 to 0.78 during the summer of 2014. However, the LWS was not possible to trigger effective alerts (EA) because there was no effective lead time (LT) for the fixed two areas method. Problems related to the low detection efficiency of IC and the use of EF data for warnings still decreased POD and increased FAR. Hence, we proposed the development method of a new LWS (NLWS) that would be composed of integrated weather data, the flexible two areas and the user software in order to trigger EA and improve warning performances.

Scan architecture is very effective design-for-testability technique that is widely used for high testability, however, it requires so much test time due to test vector shifting time. In this paper, an efficient scan test method is presented that is based on the Illinois scan architecture. The proposed method maximizes the common input effect via a scan chain selection scheme. Experimental results show the proposed method requires very short test time and small data volume by increasing the efficiency of common input effect.
