Since the advent of global warming and energy depletion, there has been great interest in eco-driving (energy-efficient driving). In this paper, a system is proposed to monitor the idle running of an engine and steady driving for a vehicle equipped with an ISG (Idling Stop & Go system). The system consists of a G/W device to acquire the vehicle operation data, a smartphone app for monitoring eco-driving and a server system. The main contribution of this paper is that it defines the integrated functions, the architecture and operation mechanisms of a system for monitoring eco-driving including the prohibition of running idle. The system enables the users to check the idling stop times, driving speeds, fuel savings, and $CO_2$ emissions, resulting in the driving style for eco-driving. The server system, which is a part of this system, provides OpenAPI-style web services for the storage and retrieval of car operation data, which facilitates the development of applications.

As the portable electronic equipments are developed and popularized, the batteies are more important. To prolong life of the equipments, engineers demand to have batteries of high-power density and they are used to use Li-ion batteries popularly Li-ion batteries are better than conventional batteries, Ni-cd, about power density per volume and weight, but they have a fault that discharge voltage of them goes down. In order to maximize life of the Li-ion batterries, we have to use a converter which is suitable for the characteristic of Li-ion batteries. Therefore, capacitive idling SEPIC(Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter) that is derived from the SEPIC topology is proposed as a source of the Portable low-power applications. The converter has characteristics of buck-boost porformance. Besides, that makes it possible to increase the switching frequency by partial soft commutation of power switches through adding a diode and a switch. This paper is presented the characteristics, DC voltage conversion ratio, circuits of operation modes, of the converter and it is analized and implemented.

Four ruminally fistulated crossbred $(Sahiwal{\times}Holstein\;Friesan)$ adult (~6 yr.) cattle of about $318{\pm}16kg$ body weight were randomly assigned in an experiment based on $4{\times}4$ latin square design to study the effect of different level of barseem (Trifolium alexendrinum) supplementation to wheat straw based diet on intake, digestion, VFA production, eating behaviour and passage rate. Four dietary treatments were wheat straw ad lib. (I), supplementation to wheat either 15(II), 30(III) or 45(IV)% of berseem. Mean total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) concentration in rumen liquor was 58.45, 66.14, 77.92 and 78.64 mmol/l. TVFA concentration in rumen liquor increased significantly (p<0.01) with increased level of berseem supplementation upon 30% level of breseem. Two peaks of TVFA concentration was observed at 4 and 8 h post feeding. Brseem supplementation showed no significant effect on daily time spent for eating, ruminating or idling, chews per minute or number of rumination boli ingested per minute. Time spent for eating and ruminating one kg neutral detergent fibre (NDF) was significantly (p<0.05) less in breseem supplemented groups. Animals in groups I, II, III and IV consumed 26, 34, 47 and 57% of DM within 1st 4 h and 64, 70, 70 and 77% of total DM within 1st 8 h of offering. All the animals consumed more than 90% of their DMI within 12 h. Active period of rumination was observed 8h post feeding reached the peak at 16 h post feeding, then declined and animals spend considerable time idling in last 4 h of 24 h feeding cycle. Berseem supplementation showed no significant effect on eating and rumination time. It is concluded that berseem supplementation upon 30% increases the efficiency of chewing during eating and rumination, which results in increase intake and TVFA production and nutrient digestibility.

Recently, International institution such as IMO and major maritime countries have introduced various regulations and steps to reduce port pollution. However, recognition of environmental pollution from ports is not sufficient for Korean policy makers and port communities. The purpose of this paper is to examine solutions to port pollution problems and suggests some implications to Korean ports to become a green port. To this aim, necessity of regulation on environmental pollution from port operation; literature survey on port's environmental pollution; current conditions of international port pollution; various regulations and policies governing major ports are conducted in this paper. Our main findings are as follows; first, air pollution from ship can be reduced by providing electric power at docks while at berth, Second, in case of cargo-handling equipment, retire old equipment and switch to cleaner fuel such as low-sulfur fuel and diesel emulsions. Third, offering incentives for the installation of pollution controls and minimizing idling by enforcing idling limits or by installing idle shutoff controls can be recommended for reduction of air pollution of truck and rail at ports.

At the LPG vehicle air intake system, most of dust particles in the air cleaner are removed. However very small particles are not removed and accumulated. The accumulation of carbon in air intake system is going to affect the idle speed control and sensor signal. It also causes engine chattering and transmission troubles of automatic transmission. This is study about cleaning up intake system using cleaning chemical. We can clean up the intake system by spraying cleaning liquid onto intake device when the engine is idling after intake hose is removed from warmed up vehicle. We can obtain the following experimental results by cleaning up ISC, surge tank, intake manifold, intake valves and combustion chamber. According to this results, the stroll valve works correctly and power rate of engine is up to the standard, it is smoothy to control the idling speed when a vehicle pulls up. After cleaning up CO grow down about 0.15%, HC does about 20~100 ppm.

In the Industry 4.0 era, artificial intelligence has attracted considerable interest for learning mass data to improve the accuracy of forecasting and classification. On the other hand, the current method of detecting anomalies relies on traditional statistical methods for a limited amount of data, making it difficult to detect accurate anomalies. Therefore, this paper proposes an artificial intelligence-based anomaly detection methodology to improve the prediction accuracy and identify new data patterns. In particular, data were collected and analyzed from the point of view that sensor data collected at vehicle idle could be used to detect abnormalities. To this end, a sensor was designed to determine the appropriate time length of the data entered into the forecast model, compare the results of idling data with the overall driving data utilization, and make optimal predictions through a combination of various sensor data. In addition, the predictive accuracy of artificial intelligence techniques was presented by comparing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) as the predictive methodologies. According to the analysis, using idle data, using 1.5 times of the data for the idling periods, and using CNN over LSTM showed better prediction results.

배기토출음은 공회전시 발생하는 소음에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 연비를 높이기 위하여 공회전시 RPM을 낮추면 엔진 점화 주파수가 낮아지며, 이 경우 배기계 위치에 따른 음향학적 공명 주파수와 일치하면 배기 토출음의 크기가 증가한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공회전시 배기토출음을 줄이기 위해 소음기의 위치와 각 배기관들의 길이를 최적화하였다. 최적화 결과로써 3 가지 배기계 위치를 얻을 수 있었고, 실제 실험과의 비교를 통하여 최적화된 배기계 위치가 그렇지 않은 배기계 위치에 비하여 소음 저감량이 높은 것을 확인하였다.

Due to reduced device sizes and threshold voltages, leakage current becomes an important issue in CMOS design. In a CMOS combinational logic circuit, the leakage current in the standby state depends on the state of the inputs and thus can be minimized by applying an optimal input when the circuit is idling. In this paper, we present a New Input Vector Control algorithm, called Leakage Minimization by Input vector Control (LMIC) for minimal leakage power. This algorithm finds the minimal leakage vector and reduces leakage current up to 22.% on the average, for TSMC 0.18um process parameters. Minimal leakage vectors are very useful in reducing leakage currents in standby mode of operation.

In this study, the nano-particle emitted from Gasoline Direct Injection(GDI) vehicles was measured using the Engine Exhaust Particle Sizer(EEPS) on a chassis dynamometer. In addition, driving mode were divided into cold start mode(CVS-75, NEDC) and hot start mode(NIER-6, NIER-9) to evaluated the characteristics in the various operating conditions. The Particle Number(PN) concentration was analyzed for various driving patterns, i.e., acceleration, deceleration, idling, cruising and the phases of mode. In a result, Total concentration of PN for size was concentrated from 50 to 100 nm and acceleration represents the highest concentration among the driving pattern. It is believed that the increases quantity of fuel, and mixture will be richer than other patterns.
