Conventional binary addition rules require a carry formation and propagation to the most significant bit, and lead to serial addition. Thus, the carry progapation in a binary addition stands as a hindrance to the full utilization of parallelism optics offers, Optical adders using a modified signed-digit(MSD) number system have been proposed to eliminate the carry propagation chain states to represent the three possible digits of MSD number system must encode three different states to represent the three possible digits of MSD. In the paper, we propose the design of a parallel optical adder based on 2-bit addition rules using the method of symbolic substitution(SS).

Optical adders using a modified signed-digit(MSD) number system have been proposed to restrict the carry propagation chain encountered in a conventional binary adder to two positions to the left. But, MSD number system must encode three different states to represent the three possible digits of MSD. In this paper, we propose the design of an optical adder based on 1-bit addition rules by using the method of symbolic substitution (SS). We show that this adder can use binary input which is used by a digital computer, as it is and be implemented by smaller system in size than MSD adder.

JIT 생산시스템이 세계적으로 많은 회사에 적용됨에 따라 earliness와 tardiness의 페널티를 동시에 최소화하는 문제에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이 연구에서는 한정된 완료시간의 편차에 대해서는 페널티를 부과하지 않는, 즉 허용오차가 존재할 때, 공통의 납기로부터 평균제곱편차(MSD : Mean Squared Deviation)를 최소화하는 단일기계 문제를 다룬다. 허용오차가 존재하는 MSD 문제에서 최적의 공통 납기를 결정하는 방법을 개발한다. 스케줄과 허용 오차가 주어질 때, 최적의 납기를 찾는 두 개의 선형시간이 소요되는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 주어진 허용오차 중 하나는 가장 짧은 가공시간을 가지는 작업의 절반보다 작은 경우이며 다른 하나는 허용오차가 임의인 경우이다.

Manual material handling is the one of the leading causes for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and lower back discomfort. According to a study, construction formworkers suffer greater rates of muscular injuries and related illness due to manual activities. However, there is still a paucity of information on MSD, preventive posture issues, and corresponding solutions for construction aluminum formworkers. As a result, MSD and disregard of worker health and safety continue to exist at construction sites. Although preventive measures and strategies have been studied in previous research, we believe it is imperative to shed light on this problem through this study. This study aims to 1) implement a simple and cost-effective elevated bench to reduce MSDs, and 2) determine the rapid upper limbs assessment (RULA) and Ovako working posture analyzing system (OWAS) action catagory of workers in different postures to assess their MSD conditions and obtain an optimal position and posture using the Jack human modeling software and simulation tool. The study findings reveal a considerable reduction in MSD discomfort and which posture is acceptable in post-intervention instances.Thus results provide inexpensive and simple ergonomic interventions with favorable RULA and OWAS ratings that can be applied at construction sites. This study demonstrates workstation ergonomic intervention cases that can aid in understanding the urgency of applying existing research strategies into practice.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of work-related musculoskeletal diseases (MSD) and the factors for approving MSD by the parts of the body. Methods: The analysis was done using the data which were drawn from the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance that is operated by the Korea Worker's Compensation & Welfare Service. The data were composed of total cases related to the work-related diseases from 2006 to 2009. In addition, MSD data input by an investigator were collected. The factors associated with MSD were analyzed using ${\times}2$ and multiple logistic regression. Results: MSD approved cases have increased since 2006 and the proportion of the approved work-related MSD cases in the workers with work-related diseases in 2009 were 33.4%. Spinal approved cases were the highest percentage and upper and lower extremities cases gradually increased. The factors for approving upper extremity were found to be age, company size, type of industry, working duration, and in the case of spine to be company size and heavy lifting. Conclusion: Work-related MSD have increased and the factors that affected MSD by the parts of the body varied. Management strategy must be established to prevent MSD by the parts of the body.

This paper proposes an advanced suspension system and reports its performance in the framework of the preview control algorithm based on the RPS (road profile sensing) system and MSD system with the multi-stage damping characteristics. Typical disturbance inputs that cause excessive vibration and steering instability of an automobile are irregular obstacles that protrude or sink into the road surface to be driven. The control performance can be improved if information on the existence and shape function of its obstacle is known. Based on the results of the previous study, advanced research that uses the actuating system has been processed to be commercialized practically. For this purpose, a switching algorithm between the control logic and the multi-stage damping system was developed and its connectivity is presented. To verify the applicability of an actual vehicle, the proposed control system was implemented in full vehicle models and simulations were performed. The proposed system using the 3-DS actuator system, which is applied for structural simplicity, can improve the ride comfort and steering stability. In addition, the results indicate the feasibility of the intelligently controlled suspension system.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can provide significant increments in capacity; however, the capacity of MIMO systems degrades severely when spatial correlation among multipath channels is present. This paper demonstrates that the influence of shadowing on the channel capacity is more substantial than that of multipath fading; therefore, the shadowing effect is actually the dominant impairment. To overcome the composite fading effects, we propose combining macroscopic selection diversity (MSD) schemes with MIMO technology. To analyze the system performance, the capacity outage expression of MIMO-based MSD (MSD-MIMO) systems using a characteristic function is applied. The analytic results show that there are significant improvements when MSD schemes are applied, even for the two-base-station diversity case. It is also observed that the effect of spatial correlation due to multipath fading is almost negligible when multiple base stations cooperatively participate in the mobile communication topology.

This study was carried out to present a analysis of pyrolytic degradation of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzal dehyde(vanillin) pyrolyzed at $330^{\circ}C{\sim}920^{\circ}C$ by Curie-point pyrolyzer connected with GC/MSD by on-line system. Identified by GC/MSD were 100 pyrolytic products of vanillin. The pyrolysis of the compound gave benzene, phenol, 1,3-cyclopentadiene, methyl benzene, benzaldehyde, benzofuran, and cresol as major products, which were produced by pyrolytic degradation and synthesis of vanillin radicals.

An optical adder for a modified signed-digit(MSD) number system using joint spatial encoding method is proposed. In order to minimize the numbers of symbolic substitution rules, nine input patterns were divided into five groups of the same addition results. For recognizing the input reference patterns, masks and reference patterns without any other spatial operations are used. This adder is implemented by smaller system in size than a conventional adder.
