The daily food intake for dairy cows has to be effectively controlled to breed a sound group of cows as well as to enhance the productivity of the cows. But, feed stuffs are fed in the common bulk for a group of cows in most cases despite that the individual food intake has to be varied. To obtain the feed for each cow, both the nutrient requirements and the nutrient composition of fred have to be provided in advance, which are based on the status of cows such as weigh marginal weight amount of milk, fat concentration in milk, growth and milking stages, and rough feed ratio, etc. Then, the mixed ration fur diet would be computed by the nutrient requirements constraints. However, when TMR (Total Mixed Ration) is conventionally supplied for a group of cows, it is almost impossible to get an optimal feed mixed ration meeting the nutrient requirements of each individual cow since the constraints are usually conflicting and over-constrained although they are linear. Hence, addressed in this paper is a simulated annealing (SA) technique to find the food intake for dairy cows, considering the characteristics of individual or grouped cows. Appropriate parameters fur the successful working of SA are determined through preliminary experiments. The parameters include initial temperature, epoch length. cooling scheduling, and stopping criteria. In addition, a neighborhood solution generation method for the effective improvement of solutions is presented. Experimental results show that the final solution for the mixture of feed fits the rough feed ratio and some other nutrient requirements such as rough fiber, acid detergent fiber, and neutral detergent fiber, with 100 percent, while fulfilling net energy for lactating, metabolic energy, total digestible nutrients, crude protein, and undegraded intake protein within average five percent.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is very interesting power source due to high power density, simple construction and operation at low temperature. But it has problems such as high cost, improvement of performance, effect of temperature and initial start at low temperature. These problems can be approached to be solved by using experiment and mathematical method which are general principles for analysis and optimization of control system for heat and hydrogen detecting management. In this paper, insulation vessel and control system for stable operation of fuel cell at low temperature were developed for experiment. The constant temperature capability and the heating time at sub-zero temperatures with insulation control system were studied by using a heating bar of 60W class. PEMFC stack which was made by 4 cells with $50\;mc^2$ active area in each cell is a thermal source. Times which take to reach constant temperature by the state of insulation vacuum were measured at variable environment temperatures. The test was performed at two conditions: heating mode and cooling mode. Constant temperature capability was better at lower environment temperature and vacuum pressure. The results of this experiment could be used as basis data about stable operation of fuel cell stack in low temperature zone.

신개념 치과용 X선 촬영장치인 강내형 X선 튜브에 대한 연구가 소개되었다. 이는 초소형의 X-선 튜브를 구강내 삽입하여 외부에서 검출기로 영상을 획득하는 새로운 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 구내 치근단 촬영을 위해 사용하는 강내형 X선 튜브의 온도분포 및 선량 분포 특성을 조사하였다. X선 튜브의 온도특성을 파악하기 위하여 튜브 표면에 써머커플을 부착하여 튜브 표면에서부터 거리에 대한 온도를 측정하였으며, EBT 필름을 이용하여 튜브표면에서부터 거리에 따른 선량 분포를 측정하였다. 그 결과 냉각장치가 없는 튜브에서 2mm 이상 거리에서 온도는 $27^{\circ}C$로 일정하였으며, 튜브에서 3cm, 5cm일 때 선량분포가 3.14, 1.84mGy로 나타났다. 그 결과 제안한 시스템은 기존 시스템에 비해 낮은 선량에서 안전하게 촬영이 가능한 것으로 향후 구내 치근단 촬영장치에 새로운 변화를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

최근 등장한 TSV(Through Silicon Via)기반의 3D 적층 기술은 보다 강력한 발열관리 기법을 필요로 하며 냉각 비용과 폼팩터(form factor)의 제한을 고려했을 때 소프트웨어적인 열관리 기법의 중요성이 더욱 강조되고 있다. 이러한 접근 방식의 유력한 후보 중 하나로 제시되었던 스로틀링을 통한 열관리 기법의 경우, 증가하는 버스 점유율로 인해 전체적인 성능저하를 야기하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 향후 TSV 기반 3D SoC의 커뮤니케이션 병목 현상을 해결하기 위한 3D 네트워크-온-칩 (Network-on-Chip, NoC) 구조에서 어댑티브 스로틀링 기법을 제안하여, 열관리와 더불어 온-칩 네트워크상의 트래픽 감소를 통해 전체적인 성능향상을 목표로 한다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통하여 기존의 방식에 비하여 스로틀링으로 인해 저하된 처리량이 최소경로 라우팅 시 최대 72% 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

현재 차량에 사용되는 전동기는 대부분 직류전동기로, 12V또는 24V 밧데리 전원으로 구동되는 엔진 냉각 팬, 오일 펌프 및 공조시스템 등에 적용되고 있다 그러나 직류전동기의 경우 효율, 수명, 내구성에 취약한 단점을 지니고 있다. 따라서, 자동차용 전동기로써 구조가 간단하고 내구성이 우수한 SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor)의 관심이 매우 높아지고 있다. SRM을 차량용으로 사용하기 위해서는 고성능 제어와 12V 전윈 구동에 모두 우수한 성능을 갖는 구동 컨버터의 선정이 매우 중요하다. 여러 종류의 구동 컨버터는 각각의 장단점을 갖고 있어, 차량에 적용시 여러 가지 제약 조건이 따른다. 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 비대칭 컨버터는 제어성능이 우수하지만, 각 상당 스위치가 가장 많이 필요하고, 상당 2개의 스위치에 의한 전압강하가 발생하는 단점을 지니고 있어, 차량의 12V 전원에는 부적절하다 구조가 간단하고, 스위치 수가 적은 컨버터로 차량의 환경과 여러 요구조건을 충족시킬 수 있는 컨버터로써 Modified C-dump 컨버터와 Energy efficient C-dump 컨버터를 선정하였다. 제안된 두 컨버터를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 비교 검토하여, 차량용 SRM 구동 컨버터로써 Energy efficient C-dump 컨버터의 우수한 제어성능을 증명하였다.

In this paper, in order to analyze high electrical insulation and cooling performance using mineral oil, the liquid insulating oil was changed in electrode shape and distance between electrodes to compare and analyze electrical characteristics according to equal electric field, quasi-equivalent electric field, and unequal electric field. As a result, the breakdown voltages were 36,875 V and 36,875 V in the form of sphere-sphere and plate-plate electrodes with equal electric fields. The breakdown voltage was 31,475 V in the sphere-plate electrode type, which is a quasi-equilibrium field, and the breakdown voltage was 28,592 V, 27,050 V, and 22,750 V in the needle-needle, sphere-needle, and needle-plate electrode types, which are unequal fields. Through this, it is possible to know the difference in breakdown voltage according to the type of electric field. The more equal the field, the higher the breakdown voltage, and the more unequal field, the lower the breakdown voltage. The difference in insulation breakdown voltage could be seen depending on the type of electric field, the insulation breakdown voltage was higher for the more equal electric field, and the insulation breakdown voltage was lower for the more unequal electric field. Also, it was confirmed that the closer the distance between the electrodes, the higher the insulation breakdown voltage, the higher the insulation breakdown current, and the insulation breakdown voltage and the insulation breakdown current were proportional.

When the PV module is illuminated in a high temperature region, solar cells are also exposed to the high temperature external environment. The operating temperature of the solar cell inside the module is increased, which causes the power drops. Various efforts have been made to reduce the operating temperature and compensate the power of solar cells according to the outdoor temperature such as installing of a cooling system. Researches have been also reported to lower the operating temperature of solar cells by improving the heat dissipation properties of the backsheet. In this study, we conducted a test to measure the internal temperature of each module components and the external temperature when the light was irradiated according to the surrounding temperature. Backsheets with different thermal conductivities were compared in the test. Finally, in order to explain the temperature difference between the solar cell and the outside of the module, we proposed an evaluation method of the heat transfer characteristics of photovoltaic modules with different backsheet.

With the difficulties in increasing the efficiency of conventional crank-driven compressors due to mechanical loss, compressor manufacturers have investigated new kinds of compressor such as a free piston compressor mechanism. This study investigates the energy efficiency of two different types of compressor for a household refrigerator. One is the conventional crank-driven compressor, and the other one is a linear compressor. The energy efficiencies of these compressors are evaluated. Experimental results show that the linear compressor has 10% lower power consumption than the brushless direct-current (BLDC) reciprocating compressor. The linear compressor demonstrates excellent energy efficiency by reducing the friction loss. Furthermore, a motor efficiency exceeding 90% is achieved by using a linear oscillating mechanism with a moving magnet. Additionally, the compressor stroke to piston diameter ratio of the oscillating piston in the linear compressor can be adjusted in order to modulate the cooling capacity of the compressor for improved system efficiency.

The increasing of power and processing speed and miniaturization of central processor unit (CPU) used in electronics equipment requires better performing thermal management systems. A typical thermal management package consists of thermal interfaces, heat dissipaters, and external cooling systems. There have been a number of experimental techniques and procedures for estimating thermal conductivity of thin, compressible thermal interface material (TIM). The TIM performance is affected by many factors and thus TIM should be evaluated under specified application conditions. In compact packaging of electronic equipment the chip is interfaced with a thin heat spreader. As the package is made thinner, the coupling between heat flow through TIM and that in the heat spreader becomes stronger. Thus, a TIM characterization system for considering the heat spreader effect is proposed and demonstrated in detail in this paper. The TIM test apparatus developed based on ASTM D-5470 standard for thermal interface resistance measurement of high performance TIM, including the precise measurement of changes in in-situ materials thickness. Thermal impedances are measured and compared for different directions of heat dissipation. The measurement of the TIM under the practical conditions can thus be used as the thermal criteria for the TIM selection.

본 논문은 PLC를 이용하여 자동으로 제어되는 쇼트볼 이송 호이스트에 대해 연구하였다. 대형 선박 표면에 페인트를 다시 칠할 때 기존의 페인트를 제거하는데 이때 찌꺼기들을 완전히 제거하기 위해서 사용하는 것이 쇼트볼이다. 고철에서 쇳물을 만들고 냉각 시켜서 작은 쇼트볼을 만든 후 호이스트와 연결 된 전자석을 이용하여 호퍼로 이동하게 된다. 현재 쇼트 볼을 호퍼에 옮기는 과정을 살펴보면 조작기를 사용하여 사람이 수동으로 호이스트를 조작하고 있어서 쇼트볼을 이동하는데 비효율적이며 기기를 작동하는데 대충 감으로 작업을 하고 있다. 그래서 수동으로 조작되고 있는 호이스트를 정확하게 위치제어를 하고 효율적인 작업을 할 수 있도록 무인 자동화 장치를 개발하였다.
