The reliability as well as the power capability of the UPS system can be increased by replacing a single UPS unit with multiple small UPS units in parallel, resulting in a so-called module UPS. This module UPS system allows that a new module can be added or replaced while maintaining power to loads, which is a hot-swappable operation. In addition, it has desirable features such as ease of output power expandability, convenience of maintenance and repair, and high reliability. To realize the module UPS, load sharing without interconnection among parallel connecting modules as well as a small scale and lightweight topology is necessary. The frequency and voltage droop method is applied to parallel operation control to achieve load sharing. 5kVA modules are designed and implemented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Experimental results show that the module UPS system has a high power factor, a low distortion of output voltage and input current, hot-swappable operations and good load sharing characteristics.

고속 네트워크로 연결된 병렬 컴퓨터 및 클러스터 시스템의 응용 분야가 다양화되고 사용자가 증가함에 따라 분산 및 병렬 파일 시스템에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히 복잡한 네트워크로 구성된 클러스터 시스템을 보다 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서 분산 및 병렬 파일 시스템의 성능을 최적화하려는 많은 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 소규모 클러스터 시스템에서 널리 사용되고 있는 파일 시스템인 PVFS(Parallel Virtual File System)의 성능을 분석하고, 주어진 네트워크 환경에 따라 성능을 최적화할 수 있는 방법인 FlowBuffer의 따른 변화에 PVFS의 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 N.1 모듈형 UPS 시스템의 병렬운전을 위해 기존에 사용된 부하분담용 신호선을 제거하고 독립적인 운전을 수행하는 새로운 형태의 wirelss 병렬제어 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 제어시스템은 기존 방식이 갖는 센싱 노이즈나 상호간섭에 의한 문제를 제거할 수 있다. 또한 wireless방식의 단점을 보완하기 위해 인버터간 불평형요소 제거 알고리즘을 적용하여 무효전력편차의 발생을 최소화하는 구조를 가지며, 시스템의 불안정한과도특성을 완충하는 가상의 임피던스를 삽입하여 과도순환전류를 저감하는 방식이 적용되었다. 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 시뮬레이션 결과를 제시하였다.

Parallel robots are usually used for performing pick-and-place motion to increase productivity in high-speed environments. The present study proposes a high-speed parallel robot and a control approach to improve the tracking performance for the purpose of handling a solar cell. However, the target processes are not limited to the solar cell-handling field. Therefore, a delta-type parallel manipulator is designed, and a ball joint structure is specifically proposed to increase the allowed angle that would meet the required workspace. A control algorithm considering the synchronization between multiple joints in a closed-chain mechanism is also suggested to improve the tracking performance, where the tracking and synchronization errors are simultaneously considered. In addition, a prototype machine with the proposed ball joint is implemented. A satisfactory tracking performance is achieved by applying the proposed control algorithm, with a cycle time of 0.3 s for a 0.1 kg payload.

This paper proposes the parallel design of a shot change detection algorithm using frame segmentation and moving blocks. In the proposed approach, the high parallel processing components, such as frame histogram calculation, block histogram calculation, Otsu threshold setting function, frame moving operation, and block histogram comparison, are designed in parallel for NVIDIA GPU. In order to minimize memory access delay time and guarantee fast computation, the output of a GPU kernel becomes the input data of another kernel in a pipeline way using the shared memory of GPU. In addition, the optimal sizes of CUDA processing blocks and threads are estimated through the prior experiments. In the experimental test of the proposed shot change detection algorithm, the detection rate of the GPU based parallel algorithm is the same as that of the CPU based algorithm, but the average of processing time speeds up about 6~8 times.

We compared the heat transfer characteristics of the parallel and the counterflow flow in the concentric double tube of the Al₂O₃/water nanofluids using numerical methods. The high- and low-temperature fluids flow through the inner circular tube and the annular tube, respectively. The heat transfer characteristics according to the flow direction were compared by changing the volume flow rate and the volume concentration of the nanoparticles. The results showed that the heat transfer rate and overall heat transfer coefficient improved compared to those of basic fluid with increasing the volume and flow rate of nanoparticles. When the inflow rate was small, the heat transfer performance of the counterflow was about 22% better than the parallel flow. As the inflow rate was increased, the parallel flow and the counterflow had similar heat transfer rates. In addition, the effectiveness of the counterflow increased from 10% to 22% rather than the parallel flow. However, we verified that the increment in the friction factor of the counterflow is not large compared to the increment in the heat transfer rate.

This study aimed to analyze the applicability of the improved median filter in positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) fusion images based on parallel imaging using generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisition (GRAPPA). In this study, a PET/MR fusion imaging system based on a 3.0T magnetic field and ¹⁸F radioisotope were used. An improved median filter that can set a mask of the median value more efficiently than before was modeled and applied to the acquired image. As quantitative evaluation parameters of the noise level, the contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and coefficient of variation (COV) were calculated. Additionally, no-reference-based evaluation parameters were used to analyze the overall image quality. We confirmed that the CNR and COV values of the PET/MR fusion images to which the improved median filter was applied improved by approximately 3.32 and 2.19 times on average, respectively, compared to the noisy image. In addition, the no-reference-based evaluation results showed a similar trend for the noise-level results. In conclusion, we demonstrated that it can be supplemented by using an improved median filter, which suggests the problem of image quality degradation of PET/MR fusion images that shortens scan time using GRAPPA.

We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs on m machines with the objective of minimizing makespan. Each job cannot be eligible to all the machines but to its consecutively eligible set of machines. For this problem, a 2-approximation algorithm, MFFH, is developed. In addition, an example is presented to show the tightness of the algorithm.

Pythagorean thoerem exists in several equivalent forms in the Euclidean plane, that is, the Hilbert plane which in addition satisfies the parallel axiom. In this article, we investigate the truthness and mutual relationships of those propositions in various non-Hilbert planes which satisfy the parallel axiom and all the Hilbert axioms except the SAS axiom.

In this paper, we propose a scheme that maps the time-delay neural network (TDNN) into the neurocomputer called EMIND-II which has the wavefront toroidal mesh-array structure. This neurocomputer is scalable, consists of many timeshared virtual neurons, is equipped with programmable on-chip learning, and is versatile for building many types of neural networks. Also we define the programming model of this array and derive the parallel algorithms about TDNN for the proposed neurocomputer EMIND-II. In addition, the computational complexities for the parallel and serial algorithms are compared. Finally, we introduce an application of this neurocomputer to word recognition.
