This paper has regarded mechanism design of cane-like passive type walking aid for the elderly using 3-RPS parallel manipulator. First, gait patterns of the elderly have been experimented. By means of motion capturing and image processing, we decided loaded forces and places of the cane when the elderly walked with a cane. Using these results we have developed a passive type walking aid. Second, the walking pattern has been simulated using dynamic analysis program, ADAMS and we find out the similarity between the real walking and the simulated walking. Finally after assuring the similarity, with adjusting the new mechanism design to the simulated walking we will decide whether the walking aid is safe and stable when the elderly walks with this cane-like walking aid. This paper will be basis for the development of the mechanism design applying 3-RPS parallel manipulator.

The western route of KEPCO's 765kV transmission line has been tentatively operating as 345kV voltage before commercial operation. After finishing the test operation of 765kV substation in 2002. KEPCO decided to operate the 765kV line for commercial operation. During the applying of 765kV voltage to the transmission line, double circuit transmission line will be operated with two voltage grades of 765kV and 345kV. Because the earthing switch is installed on both end of transmission line, we had estimated the electrostatic induction voltage and electromagnetic induction current before the line energizing in order to confirm the ratings of earthing switch. The induced voltage and current is very important for the maintenance of parallel circuit. This paper describes the simulation study of electrical phenomena such as electrostatic induction voltage from the parallel line and electromagnetic induction current from the parallel circuit. The transmission line model was developed by EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program).

Scattering source calculations using conventional spherical harmonic expansion may require lots of computation time to treat full-coupled three-dimensional photon-electron transport in a highly anisotropic scattering medium where their scattering cross sections should be expanded with very high order (e.g., $P_7$ or higher) Legendre expansions. In this paper, we introduce a modified scattering kernel approach to avoid the unnecessarily repeated calculations involved with the scattering source calculation, and used it with parallel computing to effectively reduce the computation time. Its computational efficiency was tested for three-dimensional full-coupled photon-electron transport problems using our computer program which solves the multi-group discrete ordinates transport equation by using the discontinuous finite element method with unstructured tetrahedral meshes for complicated geometrical problems. The numerical tests show that we can improve speed up to 17~42 times for the elapsed time per iteration using the modified scattering kernel, not only in the single CPU calculation but also in the parallel computing with several CPUs.

In this paper, we propose a more effective unique identifier allocation method for macro expansion in a single-process multicore parallel computing environment that does not require locks. Our key idea for such an allocation method is to remove sequential dependencies using the remainder operation. We confirmed that our lock-free method is suitable for improving the performance of parallel macro expansion through the following benchmark: we patched an existing library, which is based on a sequential unique identifier allocation, with our proposed method, and compared the performances of the same program but using two different versions of the library, before and after the patch.

Program slicing is s method to extract the statements from the program which have an influence on the value of a variable at a paricular point of the program. Program slicing is applied for many applications, such as program degugging, program testing, program integration, parallel program execution, software metrics, reverse engineering, and software maintenance, etc. This paper is the study to create the exact slice in the presence of Object Reference State Graph to generate more exactly static analysis information of objects in the program of the presence of complicated data structure.

In the recent large block are used to build the ship to improve productivity. For this reason, two or more floating cranes that are connected in parallel is the trend. Typically, when working with floating crane load safety factor is considered. Even in the parallel operation, load safety factor is calculated similar to working alone. For this reason, operations do not guarantee the reliability or excessive safety factor applied. Therefore, the subdivided cases for calculating the safety factor are defined when parallel connected floating cranes are operated. Based on those cases, the operation standard is made about procedure using parallel connected floating cranes. And to verify this, dynamics simulation was performed for verification using the dynamics simulation program.

Hardware and software field are developed by environment of MPSOC. Also it is still working with economic world and academic world. This study focus on software side and try to classify from parallel programming design world. It can be divided by three; Data, Tasks, and Data flow model. Then we used Petri Net to CUDA and HOPES programmer and found how much they understand parallel programming for each side. We focus on two sides and what is different between their experience. Petri Net is easy to descript parallel program or parallel design pattern for Task, Data, and Hybird. This research can explain how they know and how much they know about parallel programming.

Competition in the modern CPU market has shifted from speeding up the clock speed of a single core to increasing the number of cores. As such, there is a growing interest in parallel programming to maximize the use of resources of many core processors. In this paper, we propose parallel programming models in Haskell to find an advisable parallel programming model for many-core environments. Specifically, we used Eval monad and Cloud Haskell to develop two versions of parallel programs: plagiarism detection and K-means. Then, we evaluated the performance of the developed programs in 32-core and 120-core environments. The results of our experiment show that the Eval monad is highly efficient in an environment with a small number of cores. On the other hand, the Cloud Haskell runtime shows 37% improvement over Eval monad and the scalability shows a 134% improvement over Eval monad as the number of cores increases.

Detection of parallelism by a compiler is very desirable from a user's point of view. However, even the most sophisticated techniques to detect parallelism trip on trivial impediments, such as conditionals, function calls, and input/output statements, fail to detect most of the parallelism present in a program. Some parallelizing compilers provide feedback to the user when they have difficulty in deciding about parallel execution. Under these circumstances, a programmer has to restructure the source code to aid the detection of parallelism. But, functional and declarative languages can be said to offer many advantages in this context. Functional programs are easier to reason about because their output is determinate, that is, independent of the order of evaluation. However, functional languages traditionally have lacked good facilities for manipulating arrays and matrices. In this paper, a declarative language called Id has been proposed as a solution to some of these problems.

Recently, the flat display modules such as plasma or TFT-LCD employ thin crystallized panels which are normally weak to high level transient mechanical energy inputs. As a result, anti-shock performance is one of the most important design specifications for TFT-LCD modules. However, most of large display module designs are generated based on engineers own experiences. Also, a large-scale analysis to evaluate complex material and structural behaviors is one of interesting topic in diverse engineering and scientific fields. The utilization of massively parallel processors has also been a recent trend of high performance computing. The objective of this paper is to introduce a parallel process system which consists of general purpose finite element analysis solver as well as parallelized PC cluster. The parallel processing system is constructed using thirty-two processing elements and the finite element program is developed by adopting hierarchical domain decomposition method. In order to verify the efficiency of the established system, an impact analysis on thin and complex sub-parts of flat display modules is performed. The evaluation results showed a good agreement with the corresponding reference solutions, and thus, the parallel process system seems to be a useful tool fur the complex structural analysis such as IT related products.
