Objective of the study was to develop a garlic clove metering device. The metering device consisted of a drum, a bucket and a bucket cover. A garlic clove simulator was designed to simulate motions of garlic cloves in the metering device. Simulation was performed using a multibody dynamic analysis program, RecurDyn version 5.1. Physical properties of garlic cloves such as mass and center of gravity were determined using 3D CAD modeler, IDEAS version 10.0. In order to compare the results of the simulation with actual movement of a garlic, movement of garlic clove was photographed by a high speed camera. A prototype metering device was built and tested under various metering speeds and metering guide angles. At the 12 rpm metering speed, rate of single-clove-discharge was $90.0\%$ and missing rate $1.3\%$ at $5^{\circ}$.

최근 지하철 9호선은 2단계 연장구간의 개통으로 최대 240% 혼잡도를 기록하는 등 지옥철로 불리우며 역사 내 상습혼잡에 대한 문제점이 지속적으로 야기되고 있는 실정이다. 역사 내 혼잡은 이용객의 불쾌감 유발과 철도 운영 효율성을 저하시키는 요인이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 철도역사 내 상습혼잡 해소를 위해 철도 이용객 정보제공의 효과평가 방법론을 정립하고자 하였으며, 효과평가 방법론 중 승강장의 혼잡상황을 고려한 Gate Metering 사례 연구를 진행하였다. Gate Metering을 접목시킨 Micro Simulation 및 Pedestrian Simulation Tool을 선정하여 열차의 혼잡도별 Metering 효과분석을 시행하였으며, 그 결과 Gate Metering 시행 시 혼잡도별 승강장의 서비스 수준 및 보행밀도가 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 승강장에서 Metering을 실시 할 경우 플랫폼 대기 공간 내 혼잡도 조절 가능성이 있다고 판단한 것 이다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 철도역사 내 이용객 혼잡도 관리를 위한 정보제공 효과평가 지표 수립 및 프로그램을 통한 이용객 정보제공 효과평가 방법론 정립이 가능하다는 것으로 판단되었다.

In this paper, we have proposed a fuel metering unit of ai breathing engine. The proposed valve system consists of a constant pressure drop valve and a metering valve, which are controlled by servovalve. We carried out nonlinear and linear analysis, computer simulation and experimentation to find effects of some factors on system performance. Analysis and experimental results show a good agreement. It is also shown that the system stability is affected by pressure drop of metering valve and inlet pressure of injectors.

In this paper, we present robust and secure metering scheme to measure the number of interactions between clients and servers in the web, especially the web advertising. In most cases the web advertising is consists of advertisers, clients, servers, and an audit agency. The metering scheme should always be secure against fraud attempts by servers which maliciously try to inate the number of their visits and against clients that attempt to disrupt the metering process. We propose robust and secure metering scheme based on cryptographic techniques. By analyzing the proposed scheme we show that our scheme is more robust and secure than the previous schemes [1,2,4,5].

A smart meter is one of the core components in Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) that is responsible for providing effective control and monitor of electrical energy consumptions. The multifunction tasks that a smart meter carries out such as facilitating two-way communication between utility providers and consumers, managing metering data, delivering anomalies reports, analyzing fault and power quality, simply show that there are huge amount of data exchange in smart metering networks (SMNs). These data are prone to security threats due to high dependability of SMNs on Internet-based communication, which is highly insecure. Therefore, there is a need to identify all possible security threats over this network and propose suitable countermeasures for securing the communication between smart meters and utility provider office. This paper studies the architecture of the smart grid communication networks, focuses on smart metering networks and discusses how such networks can be vulnerable to security attacks. This paper also presents current mechanisms that have been used to secure the smart metering networks from specific type of attacks in SMNs. Moreover, we highlight several open issues related to the security and privacy of SMNs which we anticipate could serve as baseline for future research directions.

Garlic clove planting is one of the most laborious operations in Korean farming. The garlic planting has been done manually; therefore, it requires tremendous amounts of human labor resulting in the increase of production cost. This problem necessitated the development of a garlic clove metering device fur the planter. The device was fabricated to meter a single garlic clove with a scooping bucket(29mm in diameter and 8mm in depth) designed after the image of clove's bottom shape. The lift angle of the metering plate and the magnitude of vibration were also affected the metering performance. The angle clove metering rates ranged 95.4~96.7% with the missing rate of 0.0~1.3% at the 80~85 degrees of the tilt angle and vibration level 2(1.985 m/s$^2$).

The spool displacement of a directional control valve can be considered as the standard signal for the measurement of its bandwidth frequency. When the spool displacement is not available, the metering-orifice system is suggested in this study as an alternative way to measure the - 3 dB amplitude-ratio bandwidth frequency of the hydraulic directional-control valve. The amplitude ratio of the metering-orifice pressure can be adjusted to equal that of the spool displacement through the controlling of the metering-orifice opening area. A series of experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the metering-orifice system. The metering orifice was confirmed as adequate for the measurement of the - 3 dB amplitude-ratio bandwidth frequency.

고속도로 상의 반복, 비 반복정체를 해결하기 위해 많은 곳에서 램프미터링을 실시하고 있다. 그러나 기존 램프미터링은 특정 시간에 정체가 반복적으로 발생하는 지역을 대상으로, 정체가 되기 전에 고속도로 본선의 교통량을 조절하여 정체가 되지 않도록 운영하는 것에 중점을 두고 있기 때문에 돌발상황과 같은 비 반복정체에 대처할 수 없다. 또한 정체 후 정체 해소를 위한 대책이 없으며, 각 진입로마다 단독으로 램프미터링을 운영하기 때문에 정체를 빠른 시간 안에 해소시킬 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 기존 램프미터링의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 충격파 이론을 도입한 램프미터링 기법인 SARAM(Shockwave Adaptive Real time Ramp Metering)을 개발하였다. 서울외곽순환고속도로의 장수IC~중동IC 구간을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 평균속도는 7.32km/h 만큼 증가하고 평균지체 시간이 39.14sec 만큼 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

The spool displacement signal of a directional control valve, including the servo valve, can be considered as the standard signal to measure dynamic characteristics. When the spool displacement signal is not available, the velocity signal of a metering cylinder piston can be used. In this study, the frequency response characteristics of the metering cylinder are investigated for the spool displacement input. The transfer functions of the servo valve-metering system are derived taking into consideration the oil inertia effect in the transmission lines. The theoretical results of the transfer functions are verified through computer simulations and experiments. The oil inertia effect in the transmission lines was found to have a very significant effect on the bandwidth frequency of the servo valve-metering cylinder system. In order to more precisely measure the dynamic characteristics of a servo valve, the metering cylinder should be set up to minimize the oil inertia effect by increasing the inner diameters of the transmission lines or shortening their lengths.

This study conducts the flow analysis on the basis of the impeller RPM of water metering valve. The software used for the flow analysis is STAR-CCM+. In terms of the structure of the metering valve, it has an impeller installed inside, and a metering chamber has inlet and outlet holes. The flow analysis on the water metering valve drew the following conclusions: Regarding the flow field in the valve, the impeller had the highest velocity distribution, and complex flow field was generated in the metering chamber. In particular, since the path between the inlet and outlet holes in the metering chamber and the valve body was narrow, there was a section that had flow field interference. The flow rate and flow coefficient distribution according to the impeller RPM were on the linear increase. Given that, it showed the feature of the valve used for water metering on the basis of the impeller RPM.
