This paper investigates the usefulness of drones in an urban delivery system. We define the vehicle and drone routing problem with time window (VDRPTW) and present a model that can describe a dual mode delivery system consisting of drones and vehicles in the metropolitan area. Drones are relatively free from traffic congestion but have limited flight range and capacity. Vehicles are not free from traffic congestion, and the complexity of urban road network reduces the efficiency of vehicles. Using drones and vehicles together can reduce inefficiency of the urban delivery system because of their complementary cooperation. In this paper, we assume that drones operate in a point-to-point manner between the depot and customers, and that customers in the need of fast delivery are willing to pay additional charges. For the experiment datasets, we use instances of Solomon (1987), which are well known in the Vehicle Routing Problem society. Moreover, to mirror the urban logistics demand trend, customers who want fast delivery are added to the Solomon's instances. We propose a hybrid evolutionary algorithm for solving VDRPTW. The experiment results provide different useful insights according to the geographical distributions of customers. In the instances where customers are randomly located and in instances where some customers are randomly located while others form some clusters, the dual mode delivery system displays lower total cost and higher customer satisfaction. In instances with clustered customers, the dual mode delivery system exhibits narrow competition for the total cost with the delivery system that uses only vehicles. In this case, using drones and vehicles together can reduce the level of dissatisfaction of customers who take their cargo over the time-window. From the view point of strategic flexibility, the dual mode delivery system appears to be more interesting. In meeting the objective of maximizing customer satisfaction, the use of drones and vehicles incurs less cost and requires fewer resources.

Distributed Object Systems are very complex. So, it is difficult to see overall relationship among objects participated in the system. Moreover the performance tuning or maintenance are also important issues of it. So, it needs a way to view the system with low-cost and an efficient method. One of solutions is a visualization tool or system. In this paper, we proposed a tracing facility for Java-based distributed object system, especially RM(Remote Method Invocation). Our up-coming visualization system will use two phase hybrid post-mortem/on-the-fly technique. To support it, the fundamental tracing part must have some flexible and dynamic mechanism. The main idea of our tracing technique is the Plug-in Sensor Model(PSM). The relationship between tracing (monitoring) part and visualization part is closely related. So, we considered the appropriate factors for visualization. We developed 'Traced RMI(TRMI)'. For more precise visualization of a working system, the casuality of events has to be preserved. TRMI can support global event ordering.

This paper describes the development of a web-based interference verification system in the mold design process. Although several commercial CAD systems furnish interference verification functions, those systems are very expensive and inadequate to perform collaborative works over the Internet. In this paper, an efficient and precision hybrid interference verification algorithm for the web-based interference verification system over the distributed environment has been studied. The proposed system uses lightweight CAD files produced from the optimally transformed CAD data through ACIS kernel and InterOp. Collaborators related to the development of a new product are able to verify the interference verification over the Internet without commercial CAD systems. The system reduces production cost, errors and lead-time to the market. Validity of the developed system is confirmed through case studies.

Korean goverment is promoting "the Rural Electrification Project" to replace the diesel generators with PV power supply. The PV-diesel hybrid system are proven more cost effective than that of the existing, especially in the. case of small islands(less than 70 households). In this paper, we intend to introduce the Hahwado island PV system assisted with diesel generator and remote monitoring systems as observator. The purpose of this observator is to have minimum maintenance, to improve economical effciency and system reliability by checking the system periodically at certain time interval, and to make diagnosis of its operating situations. The remote monitoring system was designed to communicate between the central and local site through exclusive telephone line on real-time base, using Window '95 version.

최근 언제 어디서나 고품질의 인터넷 서비스 이용에 대한 필요성이 증가함에 따라, 인터넷 또는 셀룰러 망과 같은 기반 망과 연동된 하이브리드 애드 혹 네트워크에 대한 연구가 중요해지고 있다. 이러한 통합 네트워크는 홈 네트워크, 텔레매틱스, 센서 네트워크 분야 등에서 사용자 요구에 부합하는 다양한 종류의 서비스 제공이 가능해진다. 그러나 무선 이동 네트워크에서 불안정한 링크에 의한 전송 거리와 전송 대역폭 및 이동 노드의 배터리 제약은 대용량의 실시간 데이터 처리를 요구하는 서비스의 원활한 제공을 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기반 망에서 제공하는 인프라를 활용하여 에너지 효율성을 고려한 클러스터 기반의 계층적 라우팅 기법을 제안한다. 인덱스 기반의 브로드캐스팅 기법을 적용한 경로 전달 모델을 통해 노드가 필요한 정보만을 선택적으로 청취함으로써 불필요한 에너지 손실을 줄인다. 또한, 경로 탐색 및 유지비용과 경로 설정에 필요한 지연시간을 줄였다.

브레이크 동력계는 브레이크의 성능을 시험하는 장치로 시험구역, 기계적 관성구역, 전기모터 및 제어구역으로 구성된다. 혼성동력계는 기계적 관성 구역의 크기를 줄이고 전기모터를 이용하여 브레이크 작동에 따른 기계적 관성의 손실을 보상하는 방식으로 상대적으로 작은 기계적 관성 크기와 적은 비용으로 시험이 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 공간적 제약이 있는 실험실에 적절한 혼성동력계를 설계하였고, 설계된 혼성동력계에서 마찰계수 변화 등 주요 설계변수가 혼성동력계 제동성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 축소된 기계적 관성에 의한 에너지 손실을 보상하기 위한 전기 모터의 토크를 측정하면 마찰재의 불량여부를 판단 할 수 있는 결과를 얻었다.

사물 인터넷 (IoT; internet of things) 네트워크는 게이트웨이와 센서 노드 사이의 데이터 양, 통신 주기 등의 특성과 경제성 등을 고려하여 하이브리드 매체 접근 제어 (MAC; media access control) 방식을 사용한다. 하이브리드 MAC 방식은 일반적으로 TDMA와 CSMA 방식을 결합한 형태를 이용한다. 해양 IoT 네트워크에서 센서 노드와 게이트웨이 사이의 거리는 수시로 바뀔 수 있다. 따라서 해양 IoT 네트워크에 적용되는 하이브리드 MAC 설계에 있어 통신 거리에 따라 타임슬롯의 주기는 가변되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 해양 IoT 네트워크에 적용될 수 있는 하이브리드 MAC 중 TDMA에서 통신 거리에 따른 가변 주기의 타임슬롯 설계 방안을 제안하였다. 분석 결과 제안된 TDMA MAC을 이용해 LoRa의 최대 통신 거리에서 하루에 72회까지 센서 노드와 게이트웨이 간 통신이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Recently, research attention has been focused on vibration-free vehicles to transport small numbers of expensive electronic products. Vibration-free vehicles can be used to transport expensive test equipment or semiconductors, mainly produced in the domestic IT industry, and can serve as a readily available transportation system for short driving distances due to the increased efficiency on narrow national highways. This study was aimed at developing a Z-Spring to minimize the vibration by installing an air spring instead of the plate spring applied to conventional freight cars and to prevent the damage of the loaded cargo from the shock occurring during movement. The mechanical properties (elastic modulus, tensile strength, and shear strength) of carbon fiber (CF) and glass fiber (GF) prepreg were derived, and ANSYS ACP PrepPost analyses were performed. It was observed that in the case of hybrid composites, the total deformation and equivalent stress are higher than that of CFRP; however, in terms of the unit cost, the hybrid Z-Spring is more inexpensive and durable compared to the GF.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has long been projected as a powerful analytical technique for chemical and biological sensing applications. Pairing with portable Raman spectrometers makes the technique extremely appealing as real-time sensors for field application. However, the lack of reliable, uniform, low cost and ease-of-use SERS enhancement structures has prevented the wide adoption of this technique for general applications. We have discovered a novel hybrid structure based on the high-density and uniform arrays of gold nanofingers over a large surface area for SERS applications. The nanofingers are flexible and their tips can be brought together to trap molecules to mimic the biological system. We report here a rapid, simple, low-cost, and sensitive method of detecting trace level of food contaminants by using nanofinger chips based on portable SERS technique. We also present here the characterization of surface reaction of target molecules with our gold nanofinger substrates and the effect of nanofinger closing towards SERS performance. This new type of nano-structures can potentially revolutionize the medical and biologic research by providing a novel way to capture, localize, manipulate, and interrogate biological molecules with unprecedented capabilities.

We formulate a mathematical model of remanufacturing system as multi-stage reverse Logistics Network Problem (mrLNP) with minimizing the total costs for reverse logistics shipping cost and inventory holding cost at disassembly centers and processing centers over finite planning horizons. For solving this problem, in the 1st and the 2nd stages, we propose a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with priority-based encoding method combined with a new crossover operator called as Weight Mapping Crossover (WMX). A heuristic approach is applied in the 3rd stage where parts are transported from some processing centers to one manufacturer. Computer simulations show the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach. In numerical experiments, the results of the proposed method are better than pnGA (Prufer number-based GA).
