This paper presents a design and a control of a biped walking RGO-robot and dynamic walking simulation for this system. The biped walking RGO-robot is distinguished from other one by which has a very light-weight and a new AGO type with servo motors. The gait of a biped walking RGO-robot depends on the constrains of mechanical kinematics and initial posture. The stability of dynamic walking is investigated by ZMP(Zero Moment Point) of the biped walking RGO-robot. It is designed according to a human wear type and is able to accomodate itself to human environments. The joints of each leg are adopted with a good kinematic characteristics. To test of the analysis of joint kinematic properties, we did the strain stress analysis of dynamic PLS and the study of FEM with a dynamic PLS. It will be expect that the spinal cord injury patients are able to train effectively with a biped walking AGO-robot.

Winding is one of the major processes in roll-to-roll systems. Taper tension profile in a winding determines the distribution of stress in the radial direction, i.e., the radial stress in the wound rolls. Maximum radial stress is major cause of material defect, and this study has been actively proceeded. Traditional models of radial stress model were focused on flexible and light substrate. In this study, we developed an advanced radial stress model including effects of both these parameters(weight and stiffness) on the radial stress. The accuracy of the developed model was verified through FEM(Finite Element Method) analysis. FEM result of maximum radial stress value corresponds to 99 % in comparison to result with the model. From this study, the material defects does not occur when the steel winding. And steel industry can be applied to improve the winding process.

On account of small size and light weight, a high-speed machine is regarded as a key technology for many future applications of drive systems. In high-speed applications, permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motors have a number of merits such as high efficiency and high power density. Accordingly, they are suitable for driving the air-blower of a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) where space and energy savings are critical. Particularly, a surface-mounted PM motor of them is mainly used as a high-speed machine. However, the motor has a fatal flaw owing to a retaining can to maintain the mechanical integrity of a rotor assembly. The can results in the increase of magnetic air-gap length in the surface-mounted PM motor. Thus, in this paper, an interior PM motor is designed in order to drive the air-blower of FCEV instead of the surface-mounted PM motor, and the experimental results of two models are compared to verify the capability of the interior PM motor for a high-speed machine.

Recentrly advantages in composite and light weight material techniques have led to the increased use of bonded dissimilar materials such as ceramics/metal bonded joints, IC package, brazing, coating and soldering in the various industries. It is required to analyze the evaluation method of fracture strength and design methodology of bonded joints in dissimilar materials. Stress singularity according to changes of scarf angles for bonded scarf joints in dissimilar materials was investigated by the boundary element method and static experiments. In this paper, effect of the stress singularity factors at the interface edges of scarf joints on various dissmilar materials combinations were investigated by analysis of its stress and stress singularity index using 2-dimensional elastic program of boundary element method. And the variations of stress singularity index by changes for Young's modulus ratios of materials and scarf angles were investigated. Also, it is found that stress singularities at bonded interface edges are disappeared for certain combination of scarf angle in a pair of bonded dissimilar materials. As the results, it is proposed that the strength evaluation by using stress singularity factors, $\Gamma$, considering stress singularity at the interface edges of bonded dissimilar materials, is very useful.

기존 성능중심의 PC에서 편의를 위한 인간 중심인 웨어러블 컴퓨터 시대로 변하고 있다. 웨어러블 컴퓨터는 제한적인 하드웨어에서 센서들과의 통신뿐만 아니라 동시에 여러 이벤트를 빠르게 처리해야 한다. SenOS는 극히 제한된 자원을 이용하면서 응용소프트웨어가 탑재된 장치가 요구하는 시간 내에 처리가 필요한 웨어러블 컴퓨터에 적합한 경량 실시간 운영체제이다. 하지만 SenOS는 현재 표준 인터페이스의 미적용으로 인해 응용프로그램의 재사용성이 낮아진다. 따라서 응용프로그램의 재사용성을 높이기 위해 표준 인터페이스를 적용할 필요성이 있다. 컴퓨팅 시스템에서 개방형 시스템 구조를 갖는 표준 중 운영체제의 인터페이스에 대한 표준으로 POSIX(Portable Operating System Interface)가 개발되어 있으며, 디지털 컨버전스 기기와 같이 실시간 운영체제 탑재를 요구하는 시스템을 위한 인터페이스 표준으로 POSIX.4 계열이 있다. 본 논문에서는 경량 실시간 운영체제 SenOS의 표준 인터페이스 적용을 위한 개방형 실시간 운영체제 인터페이스 표준인 POSIX.4 호환 계층(wrapper)을 설계 및 구현하였다.

A rapid urbanization has increased the portion of paved layer that results in the change of water circulation system. This change leads to frequent events of flooding, drought, and urban heat island. To resolve these issues, permeable pavement system based on Low Impact Development (LID) concept is being applied to international urban areas. Therefore it is necessary to establish a rational design procedure for the permeable pavement system that reflects our environmental conditions. iDue to inherent characteristics of permeable pavement system, water infiltrates thorough the layers so it may reduce the bearing capacity of sub-layers. In this study, an effort was made to investigate the effectiveness of geogrid reinforced crushed stone subbase layer based on field experimental program along with a limited numerical analysis. It reveals that geogrid reinforced sections improve the bearing capacity by close to 20%. In addition, a light weight deflectomenter (LWDT) appears to be promising for the compaction quality control of crushed stone subbase layer in order to construct qualified permeable pavement systems.

XML is an emerging internet standard for data representation and exchange on the web. Recently, many researches on storing XML documents are in progress. Since XML documents have an implicit semantic schema, it is difficult to store XML data into a DBMS or File System. This paper introduces XDOM, object repositories for the DOM object, which stores an object for persistency support. As XDOM does not require the burdensome design of a fixed schema unlike the legacy DBMS, can store schema-less XML documents. And it can help XML applications to access the DOM object transparently from the object repositories below memory. XDOM introduced in this paper is implemented in pure Java and evaluated using experiments.

Due to the variable nature of renewable energy resources and power demand by consumers, it is difficult to operate a power system installed with only one type of renewable energy resource. Grid-based renewable generation may be the only solution to overcome this problem. The conventional approach based on a low-voltage converter with power frequency transformer is commonly employed for grid connection of offshore renewable energy systems. Because of the heavy weight and large size of the transformer, the system can be expensive and complex in terms of installation and maintenance. In this paper, an 11-kV series connected H-bridge (SCHB) multilevel voltage source converter (VSC) is proposed to achieve a compact and light direct grid connection of renewable energy systems. This paper presents the design, simulation and analysis of a five level (5L)-SCHB and an eleven level (11L)-SCHB VSC for 11-kV grid-based renewable energy systems. The performance, cost, modulation scheme and harmonic spectra of the converter are analyzed.

A new concept of a small thruster for altitude control of a micro/nano class satellite is developed, which utilizes the pulsed laser energy. As the laser-based thruster does not require burning of any fuel, it gives promise of small satellite design criteria, namely light weight and cost effectiveness. In this paper, we develop gel-type material for generating strong plasma plume for enhancing thrust for propulsion. Moreover, we quantify the level of thrust via the momentum coupling coefficient measured by the pendulum system. We discover that the driving force is significantly improved via the gel-typed propellant for laser ablation.

Top Base Foundation(TBF) is a stabilization method for light weight structures particularly in the soft ground. It is widely used for the increment of bearing capacity and restraining settlement of foundations when the bearing capacity of ground is not enough. However, when the design values from exiting Japanese standard are compared with the observation values from the field measurement, the bearing capacity of exiting standard estimated smaller For this reason, it is necessary to establish more reasonable prediction technique considering to understand the behavior of TBF in soft ground. In this study, 1/5 scale model tests were performed in the laboratory. Also, full scale tests were carried out in order to investigate the behavior of TBF with various shapes. In addition, about 100 sites measurement data were evaluated to investigate the behavior of TBF in various ground conditions. Based on the results of the model tests and field measurement data, it was possible to establish more reasonable the bearing capacity equation of TBF considering various N-value of soil, the effect of underground water and failure shapes.
