The reliability and accuracy of the information on control rod position are very important to the reactor safety and the design of the core protection system. A survey on the RSPT(Reed Switch Position Transmitter) type control rod position indicator system and its actual implementation in the existing nuclear power plants in Korea was performed first. The control rod position indicator having the high performance for SMART was developed on the basis of RSPT technology identified through the survey. The arrangement of permanent magnet and reed switches is the most important procedure in the design of control rod position indicator. The hysteresis of reed switches is one of the important factors in a repeat accuracy of control rod position indicator as well. This paper investigates efficiency of the magnetic flux concentrator and the hysteresis using FEM and verified differences in physicals characteristics by comparing the results of FEM and those of the experiment. As a result, it is shown that the characteristics of prototype control rod position indicator have a good agreement with the results of FEM.

영구자석 동기발전기의 벡터제어를 위해서는 회전자 위치가 필요하며 엔코더와 같은 위치센서가 위치 검출 목적으로 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 위치센서의 사용은 영구자석 동기전동기 제어시스템의 신뢰성을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 영구자석 동기전동기 제어시스템을 위한 위치센서 고장 회피 제어 방법을 제안한다. 확장 유기전력에 기반한 센서리스 위치 추정 알고리즘을 센서를 이용하는 벡터 제어와 병렬로 수행함으로써 위치센서 고장발생 시점에서 센서리스 벡터제어로 신속히 재구성할 수 있도록 하였다. 실험을 통해 제안된 방식의 유용성을 보인다.

A properly determined separation minima applied in Air Traffic Management(ATM) is critical for safe and efficient aircraft operations. The separation minima is primarily determined by the accuracy performance of surveillance system, and, due to the stringent aviation safety standard, the position accuracy of the surveillance system must be estimated with a high level of reliability. This study proposed a method for estimating the position accuracy of surveillance system with a relatively small amount of data by finding upper confidence limit instead of maximum likelihood values of unknown parameters. Through the proposed method, it is possible to determine a required separation minima with a more reliability in the face of data scarcity which often occurs when we implement a new surveillance system such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B).

This paper addresses an underwater landmark for updating UUV positioning information. A method is proposed in which the landmark's cubic shape and edge are recognized. The reliability, installation load, and management of landmark design were taken into consideration in order to assess practical applications of the landmark. Landmark recognition was based on topological features. The straight line recognition confirmed the landmark's location and enabled an UUV to accurately estimated its underwater position with respect to the landmark. An efficient recognition method is proposed, which provides real-time processing with limited UUV computing power. An underwater experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the proposed method's reliability and accuracy.

Understanding the void characterization in the solder joints has become more important because of the application of lead free solder materials and its reliability in electronic packaging technology. According to the JEDEC 217 standard, it describes void types formed in the solder joints, and divides into some categories depending on the void position and formation cause. Based on the previous papers and the standards related to the void, reliability of the BGA solder joints is determined by the size of void, as well as the location of void inside the BGA solder ball. Prior to reflow soldering process, OSP(organic surface preservative) finished Cu electrode was exposed under $85^{\circ}C$/60%RH(relative humidity) for 168 h. Voids induced by the exposure of $85^{\circ}C$/60%RH became larger and bigger with increasing aging times. The void position has more influence on mechanical strength property than the amount of void growth does.

A vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) consists of vehicles that form a network without any additional infrastructure, thus allowing the vehicles to communicate with each other. VANETs have unique characteristics, including high node mobility and rapidly changing network topology. Because of these characteristics, routing algorithms based on greedy forwarding such as greedy perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) are known to be very suitable for a VANET. However, greedy forwarding just selects the node nearest to the destination node as a relay node within its transmission range. This increases the possibility of a local maximum and link loss because of the high mobility of vehicles and the road characteristics in urban areas. Therefore, this paper proposes a reliability-improving position-based routing (RIPR) algorithm to solve those problems. The RIPR algorithm predicts the positions, velocities, and moving directions of vehicles after receiving beacon messages, and estimates information about road characteristics to select the relay node. Thus, it can reduce the possibility of getting a local maximum and link breakage. Simulation results using ns-2 revealed that the proposed routing protocol performs much better than the existing routing protocols based on greedy forwarding.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the influence of the condition with and without external support on the strength of hip flexor in supine position in subjects without core stabilization. Hip flexor muscles are very functional in the hip joint structures. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the strength of hip flexor in a clinical and precise way. Methods: Twenty subjects participated in this study. The double bent leg-lower test was used to evaluate subjects without core stabilization. The strength of hip flexor muscles was evaluated in supine position, both with and without external support condition. The paired t-test was used to compare the strength of hip flexor muscles according to external support. The level of statistical significance was at α=0.05. The intra-rater reliability of the repeated measures of hip flexor strength was estimated by calculating the intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC). Results: In subjects without core stabilization, the strength of hip flexor in supine was greater with external support than that without external support (p<0.05). In addition, the intra-rater reliability with an ICC (3, 1) of the strength measurement of hip flexor with external support was higher than that without external support. Conclusion: In subjects without core stabilization, the condition with external support can contribute to the strength of hip flexor in supine position and the strength measurement of hip flexor should be considered with the condition with and without external support.

GPS 관측에 의해 정확한 위치추정을 위해서는 올바른 함수모형과 통계모형이 사용되어야 한다. 그러나 함수모형에 고려되지 않는 과대오차가 관측데이터에 포함되어 있는 경우는 추정좌표에 편의를 유발 시킨다. 이러한 과대오차는 전리층영향과 다중경로의 급격한 변화 혹은 수신기 오작동에 의해 주로 발생하며, 최소제곱법에 의한 수신기 위치 추정에서 반드시 제거해야 정확도를 최대화 할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 과대오차의 검출, 규명, 적용의 세 단계로 구성된 GPS 관측데이터 처리에서의 품질제어 알고리즘과 통계검정 기법의 성능을 나타내는 신뢰도 이론을 연구하여 의사거리를 이용하는 단독측위에 대하여 구현하였다. 이를 바탕으로 정지측위와 동적측위 관측실험을 실시하여 분석한 결과 잉여관측데이터수가 많고 기하구조의 강도가 높고 보다 현실적인 통계모형을 사용할 때 과대오차 규명 성능이 높아졌으며, 관측데이터에서 과대 오차가 제거됨에 따라 추정좌표의 정확도가 증가되어 전체적으로 GPS 측위의 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있었다.

In this paper, a very low cost and robust sensing method for the rotor position of a TSRM(Toroidal Switched Reluctance Motors) is described. Position information of the rotor is essential for SRM drives. The rotor position sensor such as an opto-interrupter or high performance encoder is generally used for the estimation of rotor position. However, these discrete position sensors not only add complexity and cost to the system but also tend to reduce the reliability of the drive system. In order to solve these problems, in the proposed method, rotor position detection is achieved using voltage waveforms induced by the time varying flux linkage in the search coils, and then the appropriate phases are excited to drive the SRM. But the search coil's EMF is generated only when the motor rotates. Therefore the rotor position sensing method using squared Euclidean distance at a standstill is also examined. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed method in this paper.
