The state of registry issues a type certificate validation (TCV) based on the satisfactory evidence that the product (aircraft, engine, and propeller) is in compliance with the appropriate airworthiness requirements. The Korean government performs an evaluation to determine whether the product complies with Korean airworthiness standards for issuing TCV according to the Korean aviation safety law. Recently, the Validation Principles Working Group (VPWG) has developed a risk-based model for validation of civil aeronautical products. Also, VPWG proposed to incorporate this validation model into the corresponding ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices and guidance material. In this paper, we have reviewed the validation model and discussed improvements in the validation process.

The release of a site and building from regulatory control is the final stage of the decommissioning process. The MARSSIM (Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual) provides overall framework for conducting data collection for a final status survey to demonstrate compliance with site closure requirements. The KAERI carried out establishing a final status survey by using the guidance provided in the MARSSIM for of a site and building of the Korea Research Reactor. The release criteria for a site and building were set up based on these results of the site specific release levels which were calculated by using RESRAD and RESRAD-Build codes. The survey design for a site and building was classified by using the survey dataset and potential contamination. The number of samples in each survey unit was calculated by through a statistical test using the collected data from a scoping and characterization survey. The results of the final status survey were satisfied the release criteria based on an evaluation of the measured data.

Modern technology drives the world, increasing performance while reducing labor and time expenses. Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC) tracks employee's levels of exposure to radiation sources using dosimeters. According to legal compliance, workers wear dosimeters for three months and one month at the workplace. However, TAEC has problems in tracking, issuing and returning dosimeters because the existing tracking is done manually. The study intended to develop a Personal Dose Management System (PDMS) that processes and manages the data collected by dosimeters for easy and accurate records. During the requirements elicitation process, the study looked at the existing system. PDMS' requirement gathering included document reviews, user interviews, and focused group discussions. Development and testing of the system were implemented by applying the evolutionary prototyping technique. The system provides a login interface for system administrators, radiation officers, and Occupational Exposed Workers. The PDMS grants TAEC Staff access to monitor individual exposed workers, prints individual and institutional reports and manages workers' information. The system reminds the users when to return dosimeters to TAEC, generate reports, and facilitates dispatching and receiving dosimeters effectively. PDMS increases efficiency and effectiveness while minimizing workload, paperwork, and inaccurate records. Therefore, based on the results obtained from the system, it is recommended to use the system to improve dosimeter data management at the institution.

Latest in Smart Grid projects are emerging as the biggest issue that smart meter should meet the security goal and the SW upgrade for compliance with future standard. However, unlike regular equipment, Smart meters should be designed in accordance with the regulation of legal metrology instrument in order to establish a fair trade-based business and unauthorized changes, it is not allowed and it is strictly limited by law. Therefore, this paper propose a new scheme of certification regarding type approval and verification for legal smart meter as analyzing the requirements of a smart meter regarding upgrade and security. This analysis shows that the proposed scheme comply with the regulation and the specification of smart meter by applying it to smart meter with smart card.

Quite a demanding task frequently arises in space engineering, when dealing with the cargo accommodation of modules and vehicles. The objective of this effort usually aims at maximizing the loaded cargo, or, at least, at meeting the logistic requirements posed by the space agencies. Complex accommodation rules are supposed to be taken into account, in compliance with strict balancing conditions and very tight operational restrictions. The context of the International Space Station (ISS) has paved the way for a relevant research and development activity, providing the company with a remarkable expertise in the field. CAST (Cargo Accommodation Support Tool) is a dedicated in-house software package (funded by the European Space Agency, ESA, and achieved by Thales Alenia Space), to carry out the whole loading of the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV). An ad hoc version, tailored to the Columbus (ISS attached laboratory) on-board stowage issue, has been further implemented and is to be used from now on. This article surveys the overall approach followed, highlighting the advantages of the methodology put forward, both in terms of solution quality and time saving, through an overview of the outcomes obtained to date. Insights on possible extensions to further space applications, especially in the perspective of the paramount challenges of the near future, are, in addition, presented.

High-lift devices have a major influence on takeoff, landing and stall performance of an aircraft. Therefore, a slotted flap design optimization process is proposed in this paper to obtain the most effective flap configuration from supported 2D flap configuration. Flap deflection, Gap and Overlap are considered as main contributors to flap lift increment. ANSYS Fluent 13.0.0$^{(R)}$ is used as aerodynamic analysis software that provides accurate solution at given flight conditions. Optimum configuration is obtained by Sequential Quadratic Programing (SQP) algorithm. Performance of the aircraft with optimized flap is estimated using Aircraft Design Synthesis Program (ADSP), the in-house performance analysis code. Obtained parameters such as takeoff, landing distance and stall speed met KAS-VLA airworthiness requirements.

In this paper, we present an efficient way of implementing OpenGL ES 1.1 standard for the environments with hardware-supported OpenGL API, such as desktop PCs. Although OpenGL ES was started from the existing OpenGL features, it becomes a new three-dimensional graphics library customized for embedded systems through introducing fixed-point arithmetic operations, buffer management with fixed-point data type supports, completely new texture mapping functionalities and others. Currently, it is the official three dimensional graphics library for Google Android, Apple iPhone, PlayStation3, etc. In this paper, we achieved improvements on the arithmetic operations for the fixed-point number representation, which is the most characteristic data type for OpenGL ES. For the conversion of fixed-point data types to the floating-point number representations for the underlying OpenGL, we show the way of efficient conversion processes even with satisfying OpenGL ES standard requirements. We also introduced a simple memory management scheme to mange the converted data for the buffer containing fixed-point numbers. In the case of texture processing, the requirements in both standards are quite different and thus we used completely new software-implementations. Our final implementation result of OpenGL ES library provides all of over than 200 functions in OpenGL ES 1.1 standard and completely passed its conformance test, to show its compliance with the standard. From the efficiency viewpoint, we measured its execution times for several OpenGL ES-specific application programs and achieved at most 33.147 times improvements, to become the fastest one among the OpenGL ES implementations in the same category.

This paper addresses EMC test results for the EQM Communications & Broadcasting Satellite(CBS) Ka-band Payload System. The aim of the EMC test is to verify that the payload system has no effect on the other system and is not affected by the external field. The compliance of EMC system requirements was verified by the analysis and measurement of the emission level from the payload system. The variation of performance by noise injection was measured to inspect the susceptibility of the payload system. The analysis and test results also showed that the electromagnetic interference has no serious effect on the overall payload system performance. It is confirmed that the EQM CBS Ka-band payload system can be operable in the space environment from the EMC performance's viewpoint. It is also obtained that better performance can be acquired by improving waveguide design and integration method.
