  • As the water distribution system which is one of the critical lifeline system is deteriorated and pipe failures occur frequently, the more efficient pipe monitoring system becomes a critical issue in the water industry. One of the pipe monitoring systems is called "Smart-pipe System" which is permanent, comprehensive and an automated SIM (Structural Integrity Monitoring) system and has superiorities to existing monitoring system. To implement a smart-pipe system on a water distribution system, assessment of its indirect benefit obtaining from smartpipe such as the ratio of preventing water main failures must be preceded. However, only some researches on this field have been performed. In this paper, the concept of smart-pipe system is compared with the current monitoring systems for a water distribution system, and a method to quantify its benefit using the inconvenient time for customers is suggested. The suggested method was applied to a real water distribution system to estimate its applicability and benefit.

  • SMART-P is a promising advanced small and medium category nuclear power reactor. It is an integral type reactor with a sensible mixture of new innovative design features and proven technologies aimed at achieving a highly enhanced safety and improved economics. The enhancement of the safety and reliability is realized by incorporating inherent safety improving features and reliable passive safety systems. The improvement in the economics is achieved through a system simplification, and component modularization. Preliminary safety analyses on selected limiting accidents confirm that the inherent safety improving design characteristics and the safety system of SMART-P ensure the reactor's safety. SMART-P is an advanced integral pressurized water reactor. The purpose of this study is for the safety analysis of the steam generator module pipe break for the SMART-P. The integrity of the fuel rod is the major criteria of this analysis. As a result of this analysis, the safety of the RCS and the secondary system is guaranteed against the module pipe break of a steam generator of the SMART-P.

  • At shipyards, to enable design cooperation with engineering companies or to meet ship owner's requirements, there is a need to translate ship models from one ship CAD system to another ship CAD system. In this paper, a method for translating pipe models from Aveva Marine to SmartMarine3D is introduced. Related data and architecture of translation system are addressed and specific details to be considered during translation are explained. The introduced method has been implemented and tested in a shipyard.

  • The Effluent Heat Pipe integral with the heater is a device that recreates unused thermal energy from the plant in winter, and thus reuses unused energy before releasing the exhaust heat. Through the establishment of facility horticulture and glass greenhouses, we identified the problems of our agricultural heaters, and we proposed efficient agricultural efficiency and smart control systems for optimum agricultural efficiency and smart house.

  • Objectives: The utility of the system was analyzed by applying the smart safety technology system to the aging pipe rehabilitation facility construction classified as a confined space. Methods: Smart safety management system was applied to a site where the aging pipe rehabilitation work was in progress. The working environment was measured for 25 days, and the toxic gas saturation was analyzed according to the working time and working place. Results: Based on the measured results, two characteristic environmental changes in the confined space were confirmed. First, when working inside an aging pipe, the tendency of carbon dioxide saturation increases with working time and the number of workers. Second, oxygen decreases when working in a space away from the entrance. Conclusions: Various applications of smart safety technology have been confirmed based on the measured data, and this is expected to be useful for environmental characteristic analysis and safety management when applied to a confined space composed with various conditions in the future.

  • The digital twin-based smart pipe integrated management system is an integrated solution for efficient operation and monitoring that we propose. We buried a waterway pipe underground with self-diagnostic and condition monitoring sensor functions. This pipe sends sensing data and accumulates it. Our system analyzes data to make smart decisions. The main functions of this system are remote control and monitoring. Therefore, "how to configure monitoring in real time" is a big issue. For this purpose, we designed a special real-time-based agent function. In this paper, to solve this problem, a layered architecture was proposed based on transmission points where sensor data are exchanged. An agent was placed in each layer to look at the lower layer and periodically monitor whether there were any changes in the sensor in real time. Finally, the agent system was designed and the conceptual model level was implemented to verify excellence.

  • Efforts by the Ministry of Environment and local governments in Korea are continuing to manage the aging of water supply and sewage buried underground. With the support of the Korea Institute of Environmental Industry and Technology's water and sewage innovation technology development project, it is conducting a project to predict and exchange accidents due to aging, and to apply smart functions to new buried pipes. As one of these studies, this paper proposes the design of a dashboard concept model for digital twin-based smart pipe health monitoring, one of the key features of the entire study. Since remote control and monitoring are one of the main functions, distributed transmission and reception agents are deployed to visualize monitoring situations in real time and to increase user affinity by deploying intuitive UI. To validate the design of this proposed special digital twin based smart pipe state monitoring, we construct the conceptual model level and measure the agent effectiveness to validate its excellence.

  • Acupuncture and acupressure apply needles or pressure to anatomical points for therapeutic benefit. The over 350 mapped acupuncture points in the human body can each treat various conditions, but anatomical variations make precisely locating these acupoints difficult. We propose a computer vision technique using the real-time hand and face tracking capabilities of the MediaPipe framework to identify acupoint locations. Our model detects anatomical facial and hand landmarks, and then maps these to corresponding acupoint regions. In summary, our proposed model facilitates precise acupoint localization for self-treatment and enhances practitioners' abilities to deliver targeted acupuncture and acupressure therapies.

  • In this study, the natural frequency analysis of the fuel pipe and vibration test jig was performed as a basic study to determine the vibration characteristics of the vehicle's fuel pipe and the stability analysis of fatigue failure of the pipe. The natural frequencies of the fuel pipe and the fuel pipe with the test jig were calculated and the results were compared. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the natural frequency of the fuel pipe and the natural frequency of the test jig differed about 7 times, so that the vibration of the test jig did not affect the vibration of the fuel pipe. In addition, as a result of the natural frequency analysis of the fuel pipe itself and the pipe with the test jig attached, the maximum error is less than about 1%. In the future, it was suggested that the analysis of the design changed fuel pipe may be performed without a test jig.
