The radiopharmaceutical synthesis for PET (positron emission tomography) is composed of chemical reactions using automated synthetical equipment. Due to the radioactive material, the automated equipment is being frequently developed to replace human operators who conduct dangerous, repetitive and dexterous operations. As to operation, the manipulating program is commonly coded using the spread sheet while the whole actuators are mapped in every step. The process map (program) is changed according to such parameters as temperature of reactor, keeping time, mixture sequence and amount of reagent. In cases of customizing the automated synthetical equipment or developing the new radiopharmaceuticals, lots of experiments should be conducted and the programming mistake is not allowed as it can lead abnormal control of the equipment to leak the radioactive materials. The exact process map has depended on trial and error manner. Thus, this study developed the methodology to tabulate the synthetical process to convert the process map automatically while the synthetical module formation is represented by a network model. The proposed method is validated using the actual radiopharmaceutical synthetical procedure.

Mostly, artificial intelligence does not show any definite change in emotions. For this reason, it is hard to demonstrate empathy in communication with humans. If frequency modification is applied to neutral emotions, or if a different emotional frequency is added to them, it is possible to develop artificial intelligence with emotions. This study proposes the emotion conversion using the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) based voice frequency synthesis. The proposed method extracts a frequency from speech data of twenty-four actors and actresses. In other words, it extracts voice features of their different emotions, preserves linguistic features, and converts emotions only. After that, it generates a frequency in variational auto-encoding Wasserstein generative adversarial network (VAW-GAN) in order to make prosody and preserve linguistic information. That makes it possible to learn speech features in parallel. Finally, it corrects a frequency by employing Amplitude Scaling. With the use of the spectral conversion of logarithmic scale, it is converted into a frequency in consideration of human hearing features. Accordingly, the proposed technique provides the emotion conversion of speeches in order to express emotions in line with artificially generated voices or speeches.

Among process synthesis problems, the heat exchanger network (HEN) has been subjected to the most concentrated effort because this kind of problems was well defined for solving it and 20-30% energy savings could be realized in the present chemical processes. In this paper, we use an evolutionary approach for HEN synthesis because this approach can overcome the local optimum and combine some heuristic rules. The basic evolutionary approach is composed of three parts, that is, initialization step, growth step and mutation step, as in the simulated annealing and genetic algorithm. This algorithm uses the ecological rule that a better cell will live and worse cell should decompose after repeated generations. With this basic concept, a new procedure is developed and a more efficient method is proposed to generate initial solutions. Its effectiveness is shown using test examples.

This paper describes an optimal synthesis method of binary neural network(BNN) for an approximation problem of a circular region using a newly proposed learning algorithm[7] Our object is to minimize the number of connections and neurons in hidden layer by using a Newly Expanded and Truncated Learning Algorithm(NETLA) for the multilayer BNN. The synthesis method in the NETLA is based on the extension principle of Expanded and Truncated Learning(ETL) and is based on Expanded Sum of Product (ESP) as one of the boolean expression techniques. And it has an ability to optimize the given BNN in the binary space without any iterative training as the conventional Error Back Propagation(EBP) algorithm[6] If all the true and false patterns are only given, the connection weights and the threshold values can be immediately determined by an optimal synthesis method of the NETLA without any tedious learning. Futhermore, the number of the required neurons in hidden layer can be reduced and the fast learning of BNN can be realized. The superiority of this NETLA to other algorithms was proved by the approximation problem of one circular region.

열교환망 합성은 에너지 회수와 절감 측면에서 상당히 중요한 문제이다. 최적 열교환망 합성 구조를 얻기 위해 multiple utility를 사용하여 유틸리티 소비를 최소화하는 방법을 제안하였으며, 공정 stream들간의 실제적인 합성은 수행하지 않고 목표값 설정에 중점을 두었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 이론을 근거로 하여 개발된 프로그램을 기존의 주정생산공정의 증류공정에 적용하여 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

SoC내의 IP 개수 및 데이터 통신량이 증가함에 따라 온칩 크로스바 네트워크가 SoC의 중추 연결망으로서 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 온칩 크로스바 네트워크는 여러 개의 크로스바 스위치들과 이들간의 연결로 이루어지는데, 시스템의 복잡도가 증가함에 따라 IP들과 스위치들간의 연결 형태를 결정하는 것, 즉 토폴로지를 결정하는 것이 점점 복잡해지고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 목표 시스템의 칩내 통신 특성을 고려하여 최적의 온칩 크로스바 네트워크의 토폴로지를 찾아주는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 토폴로지 합성 방법은 mixed integer linear programming(MIILP)를 이용하여 다른 휴리스틱 합성 방법과 달리 전역 최적점(global optimum)을 찾을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한, 기존에 제안 되었던 MILP를 이용한 토폴로지 합성 방법들이 토폴로지를 표현하는데 IP 노드들과 스위치들 간의 인접 행렬들을 이용했던 것과 달리, 본 논문에서는 IP들 간통신을 표현하는 엣지들을 기본으로 하는 새로운 표현 방식을 제안한다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 새로운 MILP 표현 방식을 이용할 경우 기존 MILP 표현 방식을 이용했을 때보다 4개의 예제들에 대해 합성 속도가 평균 77.1 배 향상되었다.

In this study, the on-site hydrogen production process for refueling stations that were not energy-optimized was improved through exergy analysis and heat exchange network synthesis. Furthermore, the process was scaled up from 30 Nm3/h to 150 Nm3/h to improve hydrogen production capacity. Exergy analysis results show that exergy destruction in the SMR reactor and the heat exchanger accounts for 58.1 and 19.8%, respectively. Thus, the process is improved by modifying the heat exchange network to reduce the exergy loss in these units. As a result of the process simulation analysis, thermal and exergy efficiency is improved from 75.7 to 78.6% and 68.1 to 70.4%, respectively. In conclusion, it is expected to improve the process efficiency when installing on-site hydrogen refueling stations.

CAN is a serial communication bus for real-time controls and automations in distributed control systems. In distributed control systems, occasionally a sensor module and a controller are not in the same node and physically separated. In order for the signal from a sensor node to reach the controller node, the signal must travel through network. CAN has a certain capabilities to deal with real-time data. However, when many nodes on the networks try to send data on the same network, the arbitration mechanism to solve the data collision problem is necessary. This situation causes the time delay which has detrimental effects on the performance of the control systems. This paper proposes a method to solve the problem due to the time delay in distributed control system using CAN. Time delay is approximated to an element with a rational transfer function using Pade approximation and Mu~synthesis method is applied. Since time delay in the network is not constant, the time delay element is considered to be an uncertainty block with a bound. The proposed method is applied to the experimental system with CAN and proved to be effective.

This paper presents a synthesis procedure of multi-channel active filters, which realizes an arbitrary N*N matrix of real rational functions in the complex variable s as a voltage transfer matrix. The resultant network reveals a transformerless grounded active RC(2N+1)-terminal network. The active network is consisted of six 2N-port RC networks with 2N single-ended operational amplifiers.
