Corrosion of nickel-base alloys (Hastelloy C-276, Inconel 625, and Inconel X-750) in $500^{\circ}C$, 25MPa supercritical water (with 10 wppb oxygen) was investigated to evaluate the suitability of these alloys for use in supercritical water reactors. Oxide scales formed on the samples were characterized by gravimetry, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicate that, during the 1000h exposure, a dense spinel oxide layer, mainly consisting of a fine Cr-rich inner layer ($NiCr_{2}O_{4}$) underneath a coarse Fe-rich outer layer ($NiFe_{2}O_{4}$), developed on each alloy. Besides general corrosion, nodular corrosion occurred on alloy 625 possibly resulting from local attack of ${\gamma}$" clusters in the matrix. The mass gains for all alloys were small, while alloy X -750 exhibited the highest oxidation rate, probably due to the absence of Mo.

Self oscillating current fed push pull resonant inverters can be controlled without using special drivers. Dc current flows through the choke coil and the power switches, although the driving signals of the power switches are sinusoidal. When the base current is near zero, the transistors cannot be operated in switching mode. Hence higher switching power losses and instantaneous peak power during off transitions are observed. In this study, an alternative design has been proposed to overcome this problem. A prototype circuit has been built which provides dc bias current to the base of the transistors. Experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations to demonstrate the validity of the design. The proposed design decreases the peak and average power losses by about 8 times, when compared to conventional designs.

An micro model for the power insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(IGBT) is developed. The model consistently described the IGBT steady-state current-voltage characteristics and switching transient current and voltage waveform for all loading conditions. The model is based on the equivalent circuit of a MOSFET with supplies the base current to a low-gain, high-level injection, bipolar transistor with its base virtual contact at the collector and of the base. Model results are compared with measured turn-on and turn-off waveform for different drive, load, and feedback circuits.

본 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘의 진화 연산을 이용하여 기지국의 위치와 송신전력을 최적화하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 기지국의 위치와 송신 전력을 실수형 파라미터로 정의하며 관련된 유전 연산자를 설계하였다. 최적화의 방향은 커버리지, 송신 전력, 경제성 효율이 고려되도록 다중 목적함수를 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 알고리즘음 최적 해를 직관적으로 알 수 있는 상황에 적용하여 검증하였으며 비균일 트래픽 분포를 가정한 상황에 대해 목적함수의 가중치에 따라 최적화를 수행하였다.

While Logic Based Expert System (LBES) has a merit of rapid and complete inference, it also has a defect of huge knowledge base. Hierarchical LBES (HLBES) replaces the assertion time inference of LBES with the multi-level logic minimization procedure, and it guarantees smaller knowledge base comparing with LBES. This paper has two contributions. The one is proposing so-called fact-minimization procedure which reduces not only the number of facts or measured events but also the size of knowledge base dramatically. The other contribution is application of HLBES and the proposed fact-minimization to the fault diagnosis of power system. The application is successfully performed in the example with the transmission system which takes 72 goals and 352 facts.

최근 많은 실내 사용자들이 증가함에 따라 실내에서의 취약한 통화 품질의 문제가 대두되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 셀 소형화 기법이 제시되고 있고, 셀 소형화 기법 중 펨토셀(Femtocell)은 저렴한 설치 비용 대비 고성능의 통화 품질을 제공하기 때문에 문제 해결을 위한 방법으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 펨토셀은 사용자에 의해 직접 설치되어 다른 사용자에 대한 간섭을 고려하기 힘들기 때문에, 자기 스스로 주변의 간섭을 고려하여 전력을 설정하여야 한다. 만약 펨토셀 전력이 크게 설정되면 매크로셀 시스템에 간섭으로 작용할 것이며, 반대로 펨토셀 전력이 작게 설정되면 펨토셀 사용자의 수신 성능은 나빠지게 될 것이다. 그러므로 펨토셀 기지국은 매크로셀과 펨토셀 시스템 사이에서 발생하는 trade-off 관계를 잘 고려하여 다른 시스템의 사용자에게는 간섭을 최소화 시키고, 자신의 시스템에 속해있는 사용자에게는 최대의 신호를 송신하여 좋은 성능을 갖도록 하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 trade-off 관계로 인한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 이용하여 최적의 펨토셀 전력을 설정한다. 또한 가중치합(Weighted Sum Approach) 기법을 통해 시스템 목적에 따라 다른 가중치를 부여하여 여러 가지 목적에 부합하는 시스템 성능을 갖도록 한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 수행을 통해 기존의 전력 설정 방식과 제안하는 가중치 합 유전자 알고리즘 기반 펨토셀 전력 설정 방식의 성능을 비교하였으며, 그 결과 제안한 알고리즘의 전력 설정 방식이 사용자에게 더 좋은 SINR(Signal to Noise Interference Ratio)과 많은 채널 용량을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

The materials for transmission line construction were transported by road which opened in mountainous areas until the mid 1990s, However, from the mid 1990s, as social interest in the environment standard increases, a cable way and helicopter transport methods of construction have been applied to minimize damage to the environment and to build an environmental friendly system. The current cable way method is a single cable way system which has a lower section base to load materials into a carriage and carry them to the tower construction site by use of an engine and a main rope. Then the carriage lowers itself via a slope between the tower construction site and the lower section base. The single cable way system has the demerits of site acquisition for the lower section base, forest felling when installing the wire rope, and it is not applicable to a even topology Also it has to be installed separately at each tower site. Accordingly, to carry materials without forest felling and regardless of slope, the chain cable way system was developed to provide materials for more than two towers consecutively by use of an engine carriage and winch.

Despite its success and wide application, base isolation system has been challenged for its passive nature, i.e., incapable of working with versatile external loadings. This is particularly exaggerated during near-source earthquakes and earthquakes with dominate low-frequency components. To address this issue, many efforts have been explored, including active base isolation system and hybrid base isolation system (with added controllable damping). Active base isolation system requires extra energy input which is not economical and the power supply may not be available during earthquakes. Although with tunable energy dissipation ability, hybrid base isolation systems are not able to alter its fundamental natural frequency to cope with varying external loadings. This paper reports an overview of new adventure with aim to develop adaptive base isolation system with controllable stiffness (thus adaptive natural frequency). With assistance of the feedback control system and the use of smart material technology, the proposed smart base isolation system is able to realize real-time decoupling of external loading and hence provides effective seismic protection against different types of earthquakes.

How to determine the right number of small base stations to activate in multi-cell uplinks to match traffic from a fixed quantity of K users is an open question. This paper analyses the uplink cooperative that jointly receives base stations activation to explore this question. This paper is different from existing works only consider transmitting power as optimization objective function. The global objective function is formulated as a summation of two terms: transmitting power for data and coordinated overhead for control. Then, the joint base stations activation and beamforming problem is formulated as a mixed integer second order cone optimization. To solve this problem, we develop two polynomial-time distributed methods. Method one is a two-stage solution which activates no more than K small base stations (SBSs). Method two is a heuristic algorithm by dual decomposition to MI-SOCP that activates more SBSs to obtain multiple-antennae diversity gains. Thanks to the parallel computation for each node, our methods are more computationally efficient. The strengths and weaknesses of these two proposed two algorithms are also compared using numerical results.
