Face robots capable of expressing their emotional status, can be adopted as an efficient tool for friendly communication between the human and the machine. In this paper, we present a face robot actuated with artificial muscle based on dielectric elastomer. By exploiting the properties of dielectric elastomer, it is possible to actuate the covering skin, eyes as well as provide human-like expressivity without employing complicated mechanisms. The robot is driven by seven actuator modules such eye, eyebrow, eyelid, brow, cheek, jaw and neck module corresponding to movements of facial muscles. Although they are only part of the whole set of facial motions, our approach is sufficient to generate six fundamental facial expressions such as surprise, fear, angry, disgust, sadness, and happiness. In the robot, each module communicates with the others via CAN communication protocol and according to the desired emotional expressions, the facial motions are generated by combining the motions of each actuator module. A prototype of the robot has been developed and several experiments have been conducted to validate its feasibility.

최근 세계 자동차 업계는 AUTOSAR 소프트웨어 플랫폼 표준을 제정하여 소프트웨어의 신뢰성과 재사용성을 향상키고 있다. 그러나 테스트 시스템 및 테스트 프로세스의 신뢰성 확보와 테스트에 소요되는 기간 단축을 위하여 테스트의 표준화 및 자동화가 절실하다. 특히 RTE 및 베이직 소프트웨어 모듈은 표준화를 만족하는 설계 도구를 사용함으로써 최소한의 신뢰성이 보장되지만, 여전히 응용 소프트웨어 컴포넌트에 대해서는 철저한 테스트가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 표준화된 AUTOSAR 설계 정보를 이용하여 소프트웨어 컴포넌트의 유닛 테스트를 위한 테스트 시스템의 생성 및 테스트 케이스 생성 자동화 방법을 제안하였으며, 테스트 시스템은 TTCN-3 테스트 표준을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 적용함으로써 차량 소프트웨어의 개발 기간 단축 및 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

This paper deals with the design and implementation of a TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor) simulator, which is a module for an analog type power system simulator. Principally, it presents configuration of controller hardware/software and its experimental results. An analog type power system simulator consists of numerous power system components, such as various types of generator models, scale-downed transmission line modules, transformer models, switches and FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System) devices. It has been utilized for the verification of the control algorithm and the study of system characteristics analysis. This TCSC simulator is designed for 50% line compensation rate and considered for damping resister characteristic analysis. Its power rate is three phase 380V 20kVA. For hardware extendibility, its controller is designed with VMEBUS and its main CPU is TMS320C32 DSP (Digital Signal Processor). For real time control and communications, its controller is applied to the RTOS (Real Time Operation System) for multi-tasking. This RTOS is uC/OS-II. The experimental results of capacitive mode and inductive mode operations verify the fundamental operations of the TCSC.

This study was focused on the establishment of a fundamental DB(database) that is available in the building design process, so we performed the simulation analysis about the energy consumption on the various same volume buildings. Because energy consumption in building is affected by the exterior surface area, the ratio of long/short length in surface and the adjacent internal surface area etc.. For these purpose, we assumed the unit module and made a constructable 16 model buildings which are composed of the 16 unit modules. Then we analyzed the simulation using the TRNSYS 16 and the Seoul weather data. In results, energy consumption in building is more reduced that in case of the smaller exterior surface area, the lower stories building and the larger adjacent surface area etc.. Further study is to be required the sensitivity analysis on the various weather conditions, building shapes and window area etc..

Semiconductor manufacturing has been emerged as a highly competitive but profitable business. Accordingly it becomes very important for semiconductor manufacturing companies to meet customer demands at the right time, in order to keep the leading edge in the world market. However, due-date oriented production is very difficult task because of the complex job flows with highly resource conflicts in fabrication shop called FAB. Due to its cyclic manufacturing feature of products, to be completed, a semiconductor product is processed repeatedly as many times as the number of the product manufacturing cycles in FAB, and FAB processes of individual manufacturing cycles are composed with similar but not identical unit processes. In this paper, we propose a production scheduling and control scheme that is designed specifically for semiconductor scheduling environment (FAB). The proposed scheme consists of three modules: simulation module, cycle due-date estimation module, and dispatching module. The fundamental idea of the scheduler is to introduce the due-date for each cycle of job, with which the complex job flows in FAB can be controlled through a simple scheduling rule such as the minimum slack rule, such that the customer due-dates are maximally satisfied. Through detailed simulation, the performance of a cycle due-date based scheduler has been verified.

This paper is a study on frequency analysis and electronic noise reduction of energy storage system (ESS). We acquired 4 necessary data for about 2 minutes and 4 seconds using a sampling frequency of 10,000 Hz in ESS. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) was used for electronic noise analysis from the acquired data. As a result, it was confirmed that DC component, fundamental wave, second and higher harmonic component exist. For the attenuation of harmonics, low-pass filter (LPF) was applied. We confirmed that an attenuation of approximately 59.3% appears from the second harmonic. The presence of many harmonic components in the data of the ESS was expected to occur due to the insufficiency of optimization among the modules inside the ESS. Therefore, we propose that a national certification system for ESS should be introduced to settle down the issue properly.

We review here research and development progress achieved in US Plasma Chamber technology roughly over the last decade. In particular, we focus on two major programs carried out in the US: the APEX project (1998-2003) and the US ITER TBM activities (2003-present). The APEX project grew out of the US fusion program emphasis in the late 1990s on more fundamental science and innovation. APEX was commissioned to investigate novel technology concepts for achieving high power density and high temperature reactor coolants. In particular, the idea of liquid walls and the related research is described here, with some detailed examples of liquid metal and molten salt magnetohydrodynamic and free surface effects on flow control and heat transfer. The ongoing US ITER Test Blanket Module (TBM) program is also described, where the current first wall/blanket concepts being considered are the dual coolant lead lithium concept and the solid breeder helium cooled concepts, both using ferritic steel structures. The research described for these concepts includes both thermofluid MHD issues for the liquid metal coolant in the DCLL, and thermomechanical issues for ceramic breeder packed pebble beds in the solid breeder concept. Finally, future directions for ongoing research in these areas are described.

본 논문에서는 그리드 보안 프레임워크에서 디지털 인증서를 기반으로 신뢰를 구축하는 FAS(Federation Agent Server) 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 FAS 모델은 기존의 RBAC(Role Based Access Control) 모델의 주요 요소인 사용자, 역할, 그리고 허가의 기본구조를 구체화하고 확장하여 연합 에이전트 서버를 설계함으로써 로컬정책에 따른 상세한 접근권한을 할당할 수 있는 시스템 독립적인 그리드 보안 통합 모델이다. FAS는 각 사용자가 어떤 역할을 가지는지를 결정하고, 역할에 따른 접근권한을 할당하며, 역할과 접근권한을 포함하는 속성 인증서를 발행하는 RDM, PCM 그리고 CCM의 세 가지 내부 모듈로 구성된다. RDM에서 신뢰 협상 과정을 통하여 사용자들이 서버의 정책을 확인하고 그들이 계획한 작업을 수행하는데 따르는 자신의 역할 및 접근권한을 선택할 수 있도록 설계함으로써, VO(Virtual Organization) 내의 모든 사용자들이 단일 사용자 계정으로 매핑하던 기존의 낮은 시스템 보안 레벨을 탈피하였다. PCM CCM 과정을 통하여 어떤 작업들을 어떤 사용자가 수행할 수 있으며, 어떤 우선순위를 가지는지에 대해 제한하기 위해서 서로 다른 사용자 그룹과 역할에 대한 다양한 정책을 적용하고 인증서를 발행함으로써 보다 향상된 보안레벨을 가지고 그리드 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다.
