A conceptual design of single phase high Tc superconducting (HTS) 1MVA transformer was presented in this paper. The rated voltages of each sides of the transformer are 22.9kV /6.6kV respectively. Double pancake windings of BSCCO-2223 HTS tape and the room temperature shell type core are adopted. The HTS tapes of windings are going to be cooled down to 65K by sub-cooled liquid nitrogen. A cryostat made of nonmagnetic and nonconducting material with a bore is going to be used in order to locate the core out of the cryostat. This conceptual design will be modified and a fabrication of the machine is going to be based on the presented design in this paper.

In orthopedics, hip arthroplasty is the operation that replaces damaged hip joint to artificial joint. In hip arthroplasty, quite better result can be achieved if robot is applied to machine cavity in bone, especially when cementless stem is used. So several kinds of robots were introduced for hip arthroplasty, but they used MRI, CT Scan, vision analysis and real time tracking of bone position for registration of robot. To overcome shortage of conventional robot surgery, gauge based registration method was proposed and small robot was designed. In this method, small robot is mounted on femur, and its position is determined by gauge registration method. Operation procedure was performed on model femur and result was analyzed. This robotic hip surgery system is expected to more adaptable in operation room.

Electronic or measuring instruments equipped with aspherical lens have recently been used since aspherical lens is more effective than spherical one. for the mass production of aspherical lenses, specific molds with precisely machined cores should be prepared. Some researches on the aspherical lens machining have been carried out to date. However, ultra-precise finding of aspherical or mold core has not been fully studied. In this study, the ultra-precise grinding and evaluating system were established to investigate the finding characteristics of aspherical lenses. Unlike conventional grinding process, since a highly-precise lathe were operated in a clean room without vibration the experimental results can be very useful for further studies on ultra-precise grinding process.

Human error has brought about accidents more than 50% in system of a large size and complicated expecially in nuclear power plants(NPPs). The technology of Man Machine Interface(MMI) has been changed to the digitalized controls employing computer-based technology. According to this trend. the human factors guidelines are becoming main issue for reliable supports to digitalized information displays. However. the existing human factors guidelines is not enough for advanced information display on NPPs. The purpose of this research is to develop the reliable design and evaluation guidelines for advanced information display in main control room (MCR) of NPPs. In this study. the various general human factors guidelines concerning information display on CRT are integrated on data base management system. unified based on the integration rules. and applied in computer based procedures. The use of the integrated guidelines are expected to evaluate the existing information display on MCR in NPPs from the human factors point of view.

the horizontal corrosion fatigue tester has been developed for investigating environmental strength. Using this tester, we investigated about corrosion fatigue caracteristic for A106 GrB steel weldments in 3.5% synthetic seawater and room temperature. Considered parameter is only frequency of 1,3 and 5Hz. and Corrosion fatigue crack length was measured by DC potential difference method. From the results, we could find that the horizontal corrosion fatiued tester could be well applied to estimation of fatigue strength. and In case of 5Hz, corrosion fatigue crack growth path of A106 GrB steel weldment was transgranular, and of 1 and 3Hz showed that transgranular and intergranular was mixed. Also, Corrosion fatigue crack growth caracteristic values estimated in each frequency were C=9.33 x 10-9 and m=2.93 in 1Hz, C=9.77x10-10 and m=3.47 in 3Hz, C=1.02x10-10 and m=4.05 in 1Hz

With a general trend toward larger and more complex systems with centralized control, an operator's role of supervisory decision making in the control room becomes more important. Identification of potential man-machine interface (MMI) problems with CRT-based process control systems was attempted using a structured questionnaire survey. Based on the survey results, a laboratory experiment was carried out to investigate the performance of alarm detection on a process control CRT display. The user performance was measured in terms of reaction time from the onset of an alarm sound until the completion of predefined response procedures. The results revealed that for a highly complex tasks, mean reaction time ($\bar{RT}$) with a color consistent display was 10.5% faster than that with the original display, and $\bar{RT}$ with a grouped display was reduced by 8.2% in comparison with the color consistent display.

Electrical Discharge Machining, with its ability to machine hard metals and tough shapes has become a very desirable process. In the past few years, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has been solidly established in tool-room and large-scale production. However, in spite of its indispensability in many areas of metal removal applications, the theoretical basis of EDM process is yet to be established. More importantly, the information regarding essential technology parameters such as machining rate and resulting surface roughness integrity, has not been raised to the level of a general technical science. The paper presents a method, which can be determining approprate machining parameters for the given parameters such as electrode wear and surface roughness based on machining guideline utilizing neural networks.

Since most human activities in a nuclear power plant are perfirmed in the main control room (MCR), it is important to have its design well human-engineered, both physically and cognitively. Much research efforts have been given for better, operator-centered designs of human-machine interface in MCR capitalizing today's advanced information technology. Korea is among those who are actively expending such research for the next-generation nuclear plants. This paper analyzes two forerunners among the emerging MCR designs, namely Nuplex 80+ and N4, from the perspective of cognitive systems engineering. Since the two show some fundamental differences in their design concepts, the principles with their pros and cons must be enumerated to benefit our own design of new control rooms. This paper also lists many other decision-making points that emerged due to the new availability of cognitively based on cognitive engineering principles. The future scope and directions of related research are suggested.

Automatic text classification has a long history and many studies have been conducted in this field. In particular, many machine learning algorithms and information retrieval techniques have been applied to text classification tasks. Even though much technical progress has been made in text classification, there is still room for improvement in text classification. In this paper, we will discuss remaining issues in improving text classification. In this paper, three improvement issues are presented including automatic training data generation, noisy data treatment and term weighting and indexing, and four actual studies and their empirical results for those issues are introduced. First, the semi-supervised learning technique is applied to text classification to efficiently create training data. For effective noisy data treatment, a noisy data reduction method and a robust text classifier from noisy data are developed as a solution. Finally, the term weighting and indexing technique is revised by reflecting the importance of sentences into term weight calculation using summarization techniques.
