In this paper, we propose a new dynamic reconfiguration method using application-level checkpointing in a grid computing environment with Cactus and Globus. The existing dynamic reconfiguration methods have been dependent on a specific hardware and operating system. But the proposed method performs a dynamic reconfiguration without supporting specific hardwares and operating systems and, an application is programmed without considering a dynamic reconfiguration. In the proposed method, the job starts with an initial configuration of Computing resources and the job restarts including new resources dynamically found at run-time. The proposed method determines whether to include the newly found idle sites by considering processor performance and available memory of the sites. Our method writes the intermediate results of the job on the disks using system-independent application-level checkpointing for real-time visualization during the job runs. After reconfiguring idle sites and idle processors newly found, the job resumes using checkpointing files. The proposed dynamic reconfiguration method is proved to be valid by decreasing total execution time In K*Grid.

In this study, a single-phase quasi Z-source AC-AC converters with a series connection of the output terminals is proposed. The proposed system has configuration that the input terminals of two quasi Z-source AC-AC converters are connected in parallel and its output terminals are connected in series. The out of phase mode and in phase mode of the proposed system are presented. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, a DSP controlled hardware was made and PSIM simulation was executed. As a result, controlling the duty ratio of the converter, the desired buck-boost output voltages could be generated. For each modes, as compared with the single converter operation, the proposed converter could enhance the efficiency and input power factor according to different loads. Also, in case of the out of phase mode under the constant load, the efficiency and input power factor of the proposed system are increased 10[%], 35[%] respectively in compared with the single converter. And, the output voltage is constantly controlled in dynamic state in case while the load is suddenly changed.

In this study, we analyzed the effects of the automatic control system on the reactor operation. The Propyrene Reactor process is complex and typically is inefficient and costly due to the lack of productivity. In this study, a research model was presented with the aim of supplementing obstacles to enhance operational efficiency and increase productivity. The configuration of the existing processes was analyzed to complement the hardware and software systems with original models. The composition of the facility is applied to eight reactor units producing 600,000 ton/year propylene per year. As a result of applying the research model, efficiency of operation was increased, and production volume increased from 90 to 95%, along with 91% Reliability. Future studies will present a research model to improve productivity by 100 percent. In addition, we will study the stability and productivity improvement of PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) systems, which are the hydrogen production process of propylene by-products.

Recently commercial mixed-reality devices have be launched and a variety of mixed-reality content has produced, but narrow field of view, which appear to be hardware technical limitations, are mentioned as an important issue for hindering immersion and limiting the scope of use. We propose a new innovative system that cooperate multiple beam projectors and a number of mixed reality devices. Using this technology, users can maximize immersion and minimize frustration of narrow viewing angles through 3D object rendering on background of large 2D screens. This system, named BtS (Beyond the Sight), is implemented on a client-server basis and includes the ability to calibrate between devices, share spatial coordinate systems, and synchronize real-time renderings as core modules. In this paper, each configuration module is described in detail and the possibility of its performance and application is shown through the introduction of mixed reality content case created using BtS system.

Control systems of compressed gas supply facility are responsible for storing and supplying compressed gases required for launch complex qualification test and launch operation. Most of the facilities that make up the launch complex require compressed gas for their operation. Therefore, such control systems should be developed and verified earlier rather than the other systems that constitute the launch complex. Each verification for hardware and software is performed separately. In particular, software verification of control algorithms loaded on the controller takes a lot of time and man power during the development period of the control system. Thus, specific test procedures and methods should be prepared in advance for efficient development. This paper introduces the configuration of a compressed gas supply facility and its control system with the verification procedure and results of major algorithms.

Recently, lots of remote sensing satellite require agility to collect more images within the limited time frame. To satisfy this kind of mission requirement, high torque actuator such as CMG is an essential element. In this study, 5Nm class small CMG developed by KARI is introduced to implement for an agile small satellite design. One of the singularity escape CMG steering law, Designated Direction Escape (DDE) method, which is a sort of modified version of Singular Direction Avoidance (SDA) method is summarized for its application on the numerical simulation of agile attitude control system design result. The performance of DDE method is demonstrated properly by escaping well known elliptic internal singularity successfully. 5Nm class small CMG cluster in a pyramid type as well as a roof type configuration is utilized to perform the numerical simulation and to demonstrate its agility design result for a small satellite. Simulation result shows the properness of 5Nm small CMG to a small agile satellite system. Also, the simulation result provides some valuable information that is important to CMG hardware design and manufacturing.

Arduino is one of the commonly used microcontroller platforms, and widely used not only in education but also in industrial fields because it enables rapid development and has excellent expandability. However, since there are only a few microcontrollers officially used by Arduino, attempts have been made to use various microcontrollers in the Arduino environment. As part of the Arduino expansion, in this paper, we implemented 128duino, ATmega128-based Arduino-compatible board, and its operation was verified. ATmega128 is one of the microcontrollers commonly used for educational purpose, so it was chosen for Arduino expansion. Since 128duino has advantages in terms of hardware configuration and price by implementing serial and ISP style upload with one USB connection, it is expected to be used in various environments including Internet of Things as well as in education.

A DC motor is an important driving source used in a wide range along with an induction motor. Although the structure is complex and has disadvantages in terms of maintenance, most of the demands are given to induction motors as a power source in the industry today, but due to its excellent control performance, DC motors are constantly being used as small-sized control motors. In addition, DC motors with a structure capable of high-power and high-efficiency operation are being developed with the development of magnetic materials as a structure capable of using a permanent magnet in a armature. In addition, the configuration of the controller is simpler than that of an induction motor using an inverter, and the demand for a DC motor is still not negligible, so it is still occupied as an important power source. Considering these trends, this paper attempts to investigate the control performance of DC motors through hardware implementation such as modeling through simulation, PWM generation circuit and electric motor circuit using EPLD, and PI control using processor.

In the case of weapon systems used by the military, defense standards are applied for economical and efficient procurement, management, and maintenance. Defense specifications are documents describing procedures and methods for determining whether technical requirements for products and services are consistent and apply to the production of weapon systems, quality assurance, and configuration management. Software is also subject to defense specifications, and is documented and managed in the same way as other defense specifications. Sometimes it happened to be standardized without some(or all) software. In this case, a competitive contract is impossible and it may affect the quality of weapon systems because the manufacturer arbitrarily changes the software without prior approval. So, software standardization is required, but it is very difficult to verify for firmware installed in hardware. This paper proposed a verification method for g software standardization, and we expect it will contribute to the efficient production and quality assurance of weapon systems.
