In recent years, there have been emerging needs for standardized software-based motion application development for better scalability and support for multiple operation modes for small quantity batch production. Although a software-based motion system provides a basis for constructing multiple operation modes on a machine, it is not easy to construct such systems without tools for defining multiple motion operation modes and standardized mode-change protocols. This paper proposes a motion recipe concept to overcome this problem; the concept includes the authoring of multiple motion operation modes using the PLCopen-compliant motion function blocks and communication protocols to trigger operation mode changes from an external interface. The motion recipe was implemented by extending an IEC 61131-3 compliant IDE called Beremiz, and the correctness of the motion recipe-based application behavior was verified on a real testbed.

Psoriasis is an auto-immune skin disease, which is characterized by the excessive generation of plaques on the skin with typically a long-lasting red, itchy and scaly symptoms. Imiquimod, which has been used for the treatment of external genital warts, actinic keratosis, and superficial basal cell carcinoma, induced of psoriasis-like skin disorders with skin erythema and thickness in mice. In the present study, we tried to find the bioactive herbal extract against imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin disorder in mice. During the searching of the herbal extract with anti-psoriatic effect, the ethanolic extract of Cnidium officinale ameliorated imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin disorder in mice. The morphological evaluation, H&E staining and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score showed that ear and back thickness, and erythema induced by imiquimod were significantly reversed after the treatment of the cream of the ethanolic extract of C. officinale. The overexpressed myeloperoxidase (MPO) and keratin 6A levels were decreased by the treatment of C. officinale cream. Also, $IFN-{\gamma}$, c-fos and $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ mRNA levels, which are related to the progression of psoriasis, were reduced by C. officinale cream. Thus, the ethanolic extract of C. officinale ameliorated psoriasis-like skin disorder induced by imiquimod and might be the therapeutic agent for psoriasis.

Genetic resource conservation of indigenous species is important to conserve terrestrial, aquatic and avian species throughout the world. The native Korean Oge (KO) chickens are important and protected indigenous avian species in Korea. This KO breed is very popular in Korea because of its external appearances of blackish color. The characterization of morphology and growth performances of KO were performed since 1980s, however the information is still not sufficient for breed selection. In this study, we compared various growth performances including body growth, tibia length, shank length, chest width, chest grith and length of tail feather between male and female chickens of KO and widely known White Leghorn (WL) breeds at 1 week, 2 weeks, 5 weeks, 10 weeks, and 24 weeks. We observed differences on various growth performances at different aged groups between KO and WL chickens. This study may help for the selection of chicken breeds based on age, body growth and meat production.

In this paper, we present the new angular velocity pick-off method for DTG (dynamically tuned gyroscope) which is widely used in various inertial navigation systems and motion control systems. In case of the external angular velocity input, the proposed scheme can make a smaller tilt-angle rather than that of conventional PI method in the transient and steady state because it has an additional inner rebalance loop with a mathematical model of the real gyroscope. So, without any mechanical redesign of the DTG, its dynamic range can be enlarged by the proposed method. The theoretical analysis and simulation model of DTG with the proposed scheme are given. Finally, the proposed scheme is verified.

Developing new technologies and launching new products require a huge sum of money for Research and Development, and there is also market uncertainty. Comparing to advanced countries' companies, Korea's exporting companies have less investment cost in size for R&D and insufficient technology assets accumulated. Therefore, through the open innovation, they should use external technology and enhance the efficiency of the relatively little R&D investment. This paper draws the factors influencing the innovations of Korea's exporting companies, and then it analyses how each innovation influences export performance. First, innovations are devided into two; closed and open innovation. Multiple regression analysis has been done, considering influence factors of innovation such as company's characteristics factors, research's characteristics factors and products characteristics factors to be independent variables, and export performance to be a dependent variable. It shows that firm size and new products launching period have positive effects on each innovation, but research capability and research performance have positive effects only on closed innovation. And open innovation has positive effects on export performance, but closed innovation doesn't have.

The robot imitates humans and recognizes the external environment and judges the situation. The robot is a machine that operates autonomously. Robots are divided into manufacturing robots and service robots. Service robots are classified as professional service robots and personal service robots. Because of the intensified competition of productivity in manufacturing industries, rising safety issues, low birth rate and aging, the robots industry is emerging. Recently, the robot industry is a complex of advanced technology fields, and it is attracting attention as a new industry where innovation potential and growth potential are promising. IT, BT, and NT related elements are fused and implemented, and the ripple effect is very large. Due to changes in social structure and life patterns, social interest in life extension and health is increasing. There is much interest in the medical field. Now the artificial intelligence (AI) industry is growing rapidly. It is necessary to secure global competitiveness through strengthening cooperation between large and small companies. We must combine R&D investment capability and marketing capability, which are advantages of large corporations, and robotic technology. We need to establish a cooperative model and secure global competitiveness through M&A.

For efficiently safety management of city gas pipelines, the City-gas Pipeline Management System(CPMS) has been developed to systematically manage and analyze the data collected from 33 city gas companies and to effectively perform internal and external affairs related to gas safety management. The piping information data uploaded to the CPMS is ranked the risk according to the criteria specified in the KGS Code, and the safety management of the piping has performed close inspection according to the risk ranking. However, the criteria for deriving the risk ranking is very simple and lacks relevant grounds, and the reliability for the determination of the close inspection pipeline is no high due to the redundant rank. Therefore, we developed a risk assessment program based on the Reliability Based Design Assessment(RBDA) methodology and tried to derive a reasonable risk ranking by linking it with the CPMS system.

Modern Radars are evolving into MFRs which can search multiple targets simultaneously and then track them. Additionally they should be able to avoid some external jamming signals. Applying to these MFRs, Antennas should be able to perform DBF including to not only real-time beam steering but also multi-beam forming simultaneously. And they can cancel the beam at the specific direction. In this paper, we describe the implementation of sub-array type antenna hardware which can be applying DBF. Also we propose the modified amplitude aperture distribution for suppressing the side lobe level and explain the sub-array receiver design with amplitude tapering. It consists in making the amplitude weighting in 2 steps. In order to compare two weighting cases, we investigate the G/T performance for the array antenna. At the conclusion, we make a comparative study for the dynamic range of every sub-array receiver and present the hardware implementation that is more advantageous for sub-array alignment and calibration in DBF.

Syngas was produced out of pellet refuse derived fuel (RDF) produced from an RDF production facility of W city, Korea. A two-stage gasification system was developed to use the RDF char as an auxiliary heat source for gasification reaction. The composition and heating value of syngas as well as the heating value of residual product (char) were measured at a different residence time to investigate the optimal operating condition of the two-stage gasification system for syngas production. The optimal char residence time to minimize the energy cost due to an external heat source supply was also deduced.
