In this paper, fault tolerant mechanisms are presented for a servo manipulator system designed to operate in a hot cell. A hot cell is a sealed and shielded room to handle radioactive materials, and it is dangerous for people to work in the hot cell. So, remote operations are necessary to handle the radioactive materials in the hot cell. KAERI has developed a servo manipulator system to perform such remote operations. However, since electric components such as servo motors may fail by radiation, fault tolerant mechanisms have to be considered. For fault tolerance of the servo manipulator system, duplication mechanism increasing the reliability of the transport's driving motors and reconfiguration algorithm accommodating the slave's motor failure have been presented. The reconfiguration algorithm recovering the end effector's motion in spite of one motor's failure is based on control allocation redistributing redundant axes. The constrained optimization method and pseudo inverse method have been adopted for control allocation. Simulation examples and real test results have been presented to verify the Proposed methods.

To transport process wastes efficiently from the Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Pyro-process Facility (ACPF) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), a new hot cell cask has been designed based on an existing hot cell padirac transport cask, with not only a neutron absorber for improved shielding capability, but also a docking facility for an easy docking system. In the new hot cell cask, two kinds of materials have been considered as shielding materials, polyethylene and resin. To verify the transport compatibility of the waste and spent fuel for the ACPF, neutron and photon shielding calculations were performed using the MCNPX code. The source term was evaluated by the ORIGEN-ARP code system based on spent PWR fuel. From the calculation, it was found that the maximum surface dose rates of the hot cell cask with the two candidates were estimated within the limit (2 mSv/hr).

PV셀과 리본의 솔더링 공정에서 열풍온도에 따른 $200{\mu}m$ 두께의 PV셀의 온도분포와 변형량의 해석 결과는 실험 측정치와 거의 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 전기효율은 설정온도 $390^{\circ}C$로 PV셀을 솔더링한 모듈에서 가장 좋은 결과가 나타났다. 열풍온도를 $350^{\circ}C$로 설정하고 $150{\mu}m$ 두께의 PV셀을 솔더링 해석한 결과, 최대 변형량이 약 5.9mm로서 상당히 큰 값임을 확인할 수 있었으며, 열풍온도를 보다 낮은 온도로 설정해야 변형량이 감소하고 전기효율이 향상될 것을 예측하였다.

This paper presents a novel technology for unattented continuous monitoring of radioactive material in hot cell environments. In this monitoring system, the surveillance camera data and NDA data are time synchronized and integrated into the same dimension through data processing. The integrated information is then fed into a neural network to generate diagnostics through data processing. the integrated information of the concept is tested for a spent nuclear fuel transprotation in an operational hot cell at KAERI. The presented integral part of the multi-sensory system and the analytical paradigm may provide an effective technologyical alternative for safeguarding new conceptual hot cell facilities, namely the Dupic facility.

In vertically overlaid cellular systems, a temporary traffic concentration can occur in a hot-spot area, and this adversely affects overall system capacity. In this paper, we develop an adaptive hot-spot operating scheme (AHOS) to mitigate the negative effects from the nonuniform distribution of user location and the variation in the mixture of QoS requirements in orthogonal frequency division multiple access downlink systems. Here, the base station in a macrocell can control the operation of picocells within the cell, and turns them on or off according to the system overload estimation function. In order to determine whether the set of picocells is turned on or off, we define an AHOS gain index that describes the number of subcarriers saved to the macrocell by turning a specific picocell on. For initiating the picocell OFF procedure, we utilize the changes in traffic concentration and co-channel interference to the neighboring cells. According to computer simulation, the AHOS has been proved to have maximize system throughput while maintaining a very low QoS outage probability under various system scenarios in both a single-cell and multi-cell environments.

We show the novel hot electron based-solar energy conversion using tandem structured Schottky diode with double Schottky barriers. In this report, we show the effect of the double Schottky barriers on solar cell performance by enhancing both of internal photoemission and band-to-band excitation. The tandem structured Au/Si diode capped with TiO2 layer as second semiconductor exhibited improved ability for light harvesting. The proposed mechanisms consist of multiple reflections of hot electrons and additional pathway of solar energy conversion due to presence of multiple interfaces between thin gold film and semiconductors. Short-circuit photocurrent measured on the tandem structured Au/Si diodes under illumination of AM1.5 increased by approximately 70% from 3.1% to 5.3% and overall incident photon to electron conversion efficiency (IPCE) was enhanced in visible light, revealing that the concept of the double Schottky barriers have significant potential as novel strategy for light harvesting.

In this paper, an I-V characteristics of bypass diode has been studied by counting the shading effect in photovoltaic module. The shadow induces hot spot phenomenon in PV module due to the increase of resistance in the current path. Two different types of PV module with and without bypass diode were fabricated to expect maximum output power with an increasing shading rate of 5 % on the solar cell. Temperature distribution is also detected by shading the whole solar cell for the outdoor test. From the result, the bypass diode works properly over 60 % of shading per cell with constant output power. Maximum power generation in case of solar cell being totally shaded with bypass diode decreases 41.3 % compared with the one under STC(Standard Test Condition). On the other hand, the maximum output power of the module without bypass diode gradually decreases by showing hot spot phenomenon with the increase of shading ratio on the cell and finally indicates 95.5 % of power loss compared with the output under STC. Finally the module temperature measured increases around $10^{\circ}C$ higher than that under STC due to hot-spots which come from the condition without bypass diode. It has been therefore one of the main reasons for degrading the PV module and shortening the durability of the PV system.

3 세대 이상의 차세대 패킷 기반 이동 통신 시스템은 패킷 네트워크의 특성 때문에 사용자가 받는 서비스의 질이 셀(Cell)의 트랙픽 부하량에 의해 직접적인 영향을 받는 구조로 되어 있다. 또 이동통신 시스템에서 트래픽 집중화 현상은 시스템 자원을 충분히 활용하지 못하면서 호(Call) 탈락률을 높여 전체 시스템 성능이 떨어지는 핫셀(Hot cell) 문제를 야기한다. 그러므로 패킷 네트워크를 기반으로 하는 이동 통신 시스템에서 자원을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해 트래픽을 분산시키는 것은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 패킷 기반의 이동 통신 시스템에서 핸드오프 시 주변 셀의 부하 정보를 고려해 몰려있는 트래픽을 주위로 분산시키는 적응적 핸드오프 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또, 패킷 네트워크에서 트래픽 부하를 측정하는 방법으로 MAC 상태도에서 트래픽 전송 및 트래픽 대기 상태에 있는 사용자의 수를 이용하는 기법도 제안한다. 그리고 모의 실험 결과를 통하여 제안하는 핸드오프 기법이 트래픽을 분산시켜 시스템 전체 측면에서의 자원을 효율성을 높이고, 사용자의 서비스 질을 보장함을 보인다.
