When an anchor penetrates and is installed under a seabed, a portion of the mooring line connected to the anchor is also embedded under the seabed. This embedded mooring line affects the capacity of the anchor in two ways. First, the frictional resistance that occurs between the mooring line and the seabed reduces the pulling force acting on the anchor. Second, the embedded part of the mooring line forms a reverse catenary shape due to the bearing resistance of the soil, so that an inclined pulling force is applied to the anchor. To evaluate the mooring line's effect on the capacity of an anchor in sand, centrifuge model tests were performed using two relative sand densities of 76% and 51% while changing the anchor depths. The test results showed that the load is reduced much more in deep and dense sand, and the inclination angle of the load is lower in shallow and loose sand.

We propose a Z-HBT line coding for a LED-ID system. Z-HBT line coding is defined as follows. First, we apply half bit transition to one bit. Second, we decode encoded bits using difference of bit transition level in one bit duration. As a result, we obtain advantages about synchronization problem and noise effect mitigation at the receiver. We set up outdoor the LED-ID simulation environment. At simulation results, we show 2-3dB gain as compared with existing line coding schemes. The results of the paper can be applied to design and implementation of LED-ID systems for indoor wireless multimedia services.

The PVRC(Pressure Vessel Research Council) damping is for the response spectrum analysis of the piping system. In this study, the possibility to apply it to the time history analysis is evaluated to reduce the higher conservatism for the structural integrity. The evaluation was performed for the surge line connecting the pressurizer to the hot-leg, and the whole mode includes the RCS and the building structures with the surge line. The analyses were performed using ANSYS code. The first modal analysis shows the modes of the surge line are isolated from those of the other structures. The composite modal damping was calculated with PVRC damping for the surge line and RG 1.60 damping for the other structures by using ANSYS routines. Of the calculated composite modal damping values, the composite modal damping values related to the modes of the surge line were replaced with the PVRC damping values with respect to its frequencies. With this replacement, the composite modal damping values of the other structures were not changed. Based on this decouple characteristics, the time history analyses for the seismic events with PVRC damping for the surge line were performed. And the results show the resultant loads can be reduced by up to 50%.

Power system has recently used Double-circuit Line and Multi-circuit Line in the industrial development. This has an advantage of system stability and reliability, but the complexity of the system has a disadvantage that makes it difficult to protect the power line. Double-circuit Line has two operation conditions in the Single-circuit operation and Double-circuit operation, so it has mutual impedance. To make it possible for the remaining single-line to operate independently while there is a fault with first line or when maintenance is needed, a trip region for the single-circuit operation should be set in order to set the relay trip region. An optimal trip region for each operation, a different operational conditions for the relay setting should be calculated. In this paper, trip regions of each operation condition have been compared by considering mutual impedance and fault resistance that led to the calculation of fault impedance. Also, as we know that one of the advantages in the distance relay is the back-up protection, we calculated the trip region(Zone-2) in consideration of the mutual impedance.

As the size of chip components and module decreases, new patteming method for fine line and geometry is needed. So far, in LTCC(Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) process, screen printing method has been used generally. But screen printing method has some disadvantages as follows. First, the geometry including line, vias, etc. smaller than $100{\mu}m$ can't be evaluated easily. Second, the patterned dimension is different from designed value, which makes distortion in charactersitics of not only chip components but also modules. Thick film lithography has advantages of thick film screen printing process, low cost and thin film process, fine line feasibility. Using this method, the line with $30{\mu}m$ width and the geometry with expected dimension can be evaluated. In this study, the fine line with $35{\mu}m$ line/space is formed and the embedded capacitor with very small tolerance is developed using thick film lithography.

This paper presents a method for line segment grouping used for detection of various building roofs. First, by using edge preserving filtering. noise is eliminated and then images are segmented by watershed algorithm, which preserves location of edge pixels. To extract line segments between control points from boundary of each region, we calculate curvature of each pixel on the boundary and then find the control points. Line linking is performed according to direction and length of line segments and finally the location of line segments is adjusted using gradient magnitudes of all pixels of the line segment. The algorithm has been applied to aerial imagery and the results show accurate building roof detection.

This paper presents an Around View Monitoring (AVM) stop-line detection based longitudinal position correction algorithm for automated driving on urban roads. Poor positioning accuracy of low-cost GPS has many problems for precise path tracking. Therefore, this study aims to improve the longitudinal positioning accuracy of low-cost GPS. The algorithm has three main processes. The first process is a stop-line detection. In this process, the stop-line is detected using Hough Transform from the AVM camera. The second process is a map matching. In the map matching process, to find the corrected vehicle position, the detected line is matched to the stop-line of the HD map using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) method. Third, longitudinal position of low-cost GPS is updated using a corrected vehicle position with Kalman Filter. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the Robot Operating System (ROS) environment and verified on the actual urban road driving data. Compared to low-cost GPS only, Test results show the longitudinal localization performance was improved.

A line overload emergency control strategy based on the source-load synergy coefficient is proposed in this paper. First, the definition of the source-load synergy coefficient is introduced. When line overload is detected, the source-load branch synergy coefficient and source-load distribution synergy coefficient are calculated according to the real-time operation mode of the system. Second, the generator tripping and load shedding control node set is determined according to the source-load branch synergy coefficient. And then, according to the line overload condition, the control quantity of each control node is determined using the Double Fitness Particle Swarm Optimization (DFPSO), with minimum system economic loss as the objective function. Thus load shedding for the overloaded line could be realized. On this basis, in order to guarantee continuous and reliable power supply, on the condition that no new line overload is caused, some of the untripped generators are selected according to the source-load distribution synergy coefficient to increase power output. Thus power supply could be restored to some of the shedded loads, and the economic loss caused by emergency control could be minimized. Simulation tests on the IEEE 10-machine 39-bus system verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy.

This paper proposes a droop control scheme to compensate the unbalanced line-to-line voltage of unbalanced 3-phase load which is coupled with two inverter-based distributed generations through unequal impedance lines. Unbalanced line-to-line load voltages occur due to using single-phase loads, which brings about bad effects on the coupled inverters and the distributed generations. In order to compensate the unbalanced line-to-line voltages, a positive sequence voltage control was used for sharing the active and reactive power and a negative sequence control was used for reducing the negative sequence voltage. The feasibility of the proposed scheme was first verified by computer simulations, and then experiments with a hardware set-up built in the lab. The experimental results were compared with the simulation results to confirm the feasibility of the proposed scheme.
