Existing studies on the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)-based CPS (Cyber Physical System) environment lack forest fire monitoring and forest fire reconnaissance using real-world UAVs. So, it is necessary to monitor forest fires early through CPS based on real-world UAVs with high reliability and resource management efficiency. In this paper presents an MFG (Misstion File Generater) that automatically generates a flight path of an UAV for forest fire monitoring in a CPS environment. MFG generates flight paths based on a hiking trail with a high fire probability due to a true story of an entrant. We have confirmed that the flight path generated by MFG can be applied to the UAV. Also, we have verified that the UAV flies according to the flight path generated by MFG in simulation, with a negligible error rate.

G-code, another name of ISO6983, has been a popular commanding language for operating machine tools. This G-code, however, limits the usage of today's fast evolving high-performance hardware. For intelligent machines, the communications between machine and CAD/CAM departments become important, but the loss of information during generating G-code makes the production department isolated. The new standard for operating machine tools, named STEP-NC is just about to be standardized as ISO14649. As this new standard stores CAD/CAM information as well as operation commands of CNC machines, and this characteristic makes this machine able to exchange information with other departments. In this research, the new CNC machine operated by STEP-NC was built and tested. Unlike other prototypes of STEP-NC milling machines, this system uses the STEP-NC file in XML file form as data input. This machine loads information from XML file and deals with XML file structure. It is possible for this machine to exchange information to other databases using XML. The STEP-NC milling machines in this research loads information from the XML file, makes tool paths for two5D features with information of STEP-NC, and machines automatically without making G-code. All software is programmed with Visual $C^{++}$, and the milling machine is built with table milling machine, step motors, and motion control board for PC that can be directly controlled by Visual $C^{++}$ commands. All software and hardware modules are independent from each other; it allows convenient substitution and expansion of the milling machine. Example 1 in ISO14649-11 having the full geometry and machining information and example 2 having only the geometry and tool information were used to test the automatic machining capability of this system.

For Safety Assisted Engineering works, real-time simulators have emerged as a mandatory tool among all the key actors involved in the nuclear industry (utilities, designers and safety authorities). EDF, Electricité de France, as the leading worldwide nuclear power plant operator, has a crucial need for efficient and updated simulation tools for training, operating and safety analysis support. This paper will present the work performed at EDF/DT to develop a new generation of engineering simulator to fulfil these tasks. The project is called SiRENE, which is the acronym of Re-hosted Engineering Simulator in French. The project has been economically challenging. Therefore, to benefit from existing tools and experience, the SiRENE project combines: - A part of the process issued from the operating fleet training full-scope simulator. - An improvement of the simulator prediction reliability with the integration of High-Fidelity models, used in Safety Analysis. These High-Fidelity models address Nuclear Steam Supply System code, with CATHARE thermal-hydraulics system code and neutronics, with COCCINELLE code. - And taking advantage of the last generation and improvements of instructor station. The intensive and challenging uses of the new SiRENE engineering simulator are also discussed. The SiRENE simulator has to address different topics such as verification and validation of operating procedures, identification of safety paths, tests of I&C developments or modifications, tests on hydraulics system components (pump, valve etc.), support studies for Probabilistic Safety Analysis (PSA). etc. It also emerges that SiRENE simulator is a valuable tool for self-training of the newcomers in EDF nuclear engineering centers. As a modifiable tool and thanks to a skillful team managing the SiRENE project, specific and adapted modifications can be taken into account very quickly, in order to provide the best answers for our users' specific issues. Finally, the SiRENE simulator, and the associated configurations, has been distributed among the different engineering centers at EDF (DT in Lyon, DIPDE in Marseille and CNEPE in Tours). This distribution highlights a strong synergy and complementarity of the different engineering institutes at EDF, working together for a safer and a more profitable operating fleet.

사고수목을 이루는 게이트나 기본사상이 많아질수록 정상사상 확률의 정확한 계산이 어려워진다. 이를 극복하기 위해 BDD 방법을 적용하면 중소형 사고수목의 경우 짧은 시간에 근사계산 없이 정확한 값을 구할 수 있다. CUDD 함수를 이용하여 사고수목을 BDD로 변환하고 그로부터 정상사상의 발생확률을 구하는 고장경로 탐색 알고리즘을 고안하였다. 후방탐색 알고리즘은 전방탐색 알고리즘보다 고장경로의 탐색과 확률계산 시간에서 효과적이다. 이 탐색 알고리즘은 BDD에서 고장경로를 찾는데 있어서 탐색시간을 줄일 수 있고, 해당 사고수목의 단절집합과 최소단절집합을 찾는 유용한 방법이다.

Average temperature and temperature uniformity in a battery cell are the important criteria of the thermal management of the battery pack for hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles (HEVs and EVs) because high power with large size cell is used for the battery pack. Thus, liquid cooling system is generally applied for the HEV/EV battery pack. The liquid cooling system is made of multiple cooling plates with coolant flow paths. The cooling plates are inserted between the battery cells to reject the heat from batteries to coolant. In this study, the cooling plate with U-shaped coolant flow paths is considered to evaluate the effects of coolant flow condition on the cooling performance of the system. The counter flow and parallel flow set up is compared and the effect of flow rate is evaluated using CFD tool (FLUENT). The number of counter-flows and flow rate are changed and the effect on the cooling performance including average temperature, differential temperature, and standard deviation of temperature are investigated. The results show that the parallel flow has better cooling performance compared with counter flow and it is also found that the coolant flow rate should be chosen with the consideration of trade-off between the cooling performance and pressure drop.

맞춤형 교육을 위해 학습자에 맞는 학습 경로를 탐색하는 것은 필수적이다. 유전 알고리즘은 해공간이 매우 커서 결정적 방법으로 해를 구하기 어려울 때 타당한 시간 내에 최적해를 찾게 해준다. 본 연구는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 200개 코드를 가진 악보 27개를 대상으로 학습자 부담을 최소화하고 단계별 학습량을 균등하게 분산함으로써 학습 효과를 최대화 할 수 있도록 학습 경로를 최적화하였다. 학습 컨텐츠가 27개만 되어도 학습 경로의 순열 크기는 $10^{28}$을 넘지만, 본 연구에서 구현한 도구로 평균 20분 이내에 최적해를 구할 수 있었다. 실험 결과는 유전 알고리즘이 다양한 목적의 맞춤형 교육을 위한 복잡한 학습 경로 설계에 효과적임을 보여주었다. 제안한 방법은 다른 교육 도메인에도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper presents the design and project of an innovative concept for a Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) Machine. Nowadays, equipment currently available for conducting SPIF result mostly from the adaptation of conventional CNC machine tools that results in a limited range of applications in terms of materials and geometries. There is also a limited market supply of equipment dedicated to Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF), that are costly considering low batches, making it unattractive for industry. Other factors impairing a quicker spread of SPIF are large forming times and poor geometrical accuracy of parts. The following sections will depict the development of a new equipment, designed to overcome some of the limitations of machines currently used, allowing the development of a sounding basis for further studies on the particular features of this process. The equipment here described possesses six-degrees-of freedom for the tool, for the sake of improved flexibility in terms of achievable tool-paths and an extra stiffness provided by a parallel kinematics scheme. A brief state of the art about the existing SPIF machines is provided to support the project's guidelines.

웹 접근성 평가 도구는 웹 사이트가 웹 접근성 지침을 잘 지키고 있는지 검사하는 도구이다. 국내외 법과 제도가 마련된 이후 지침 준수여부를 검사하는 도구가 많이 나왔지만, 대부분 동적으로 페이지를 수집해서 분석하는 방법을 사용한다. 특히 자동화된 도구들은 페이지를 수집한 후에 분석하는데, 실행환경이나 접근권한의 문제로 수집하지 못해서 분석결과에서 빠지는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기존 방법과 달리 정적으로 분석하여 웹 접근성을 평가하는 방법을 제안한다. 정적인 분석방법은 실행 가능한 모든 경로를 고려하기 때문에 놓치는 페이지 없이 분석할 수 있다. 요약해석기법에 파싱이론을 접목한 요약파싱 기술을 사용해서 동적으로 생성될 웹 페이지의 웹 접근성을 정적으로 분석하는 도구를 개발하였다. 실험 대상 PHP 프로그램을 제안하는 연구방법으로 개발한 도구와 비교 대상 도구에서 분석한 결과를 비교해서 비교 대상 도구에서는 접근권한이나 실행경로 등의 문제로 분석하지 못하고 놓치는 웹 페이지가 있음을 확인하였다.

application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) 및 system on chip (SoC) 설계 시 디지털 회로는 클럭에 동기화되어 작동한다. 칩 설계 시, place & route (P&R)에서 설계 조건과 타이밍 조건, 클럭의 동기화 여부 등을 고려한다. P&R에서 클럭 경로에 대한 delay를 줄이기 위해, clock tree synthesis (CTS) 기법을 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 사전 클럭트리 합성 가능 여부 판단을 위한 shallow-CTS 알고리즘을 소개한다. 오픈 소스 Parser-Verilog를 사용하여 register transfer level (RTL) 합성가능한 Verilog를 파싱하여, Pre-CTS와 Post-CTS 단계를 진행하고, 가장 긴 clock path와 버퍼 삽입 전후의 표준편차를 비교하여 CTS의 정확도에 대해 분석한다. 본 논문에서 시간 투입이 많이 되는 licensed EDA tool을 사용하여 CTS 결과를 확인하지 않고, RTL 수준에서 사전 클럭 트리 합성 검증 방법을 제공하여 비용 및 시간문제를 감소할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Burr is a projected part of finished workpiece. It is unavoidable and undesirable by-product of most metal cutting or shearing process. Also, it must be removed to improve the fit of machined parts, safety of workers, and the effectiveness of finishing operation. But deburring process Is one of manufacturing processes that have not been successfully automated, so deburring automation is strongly needed. This paper focused on developing a basic algorithm to find edge of workpiece and match two different image data for deburring automation which includes automatic recognition of parts, generation of deburring tool paths and edge/comer finding ability by analyzing the DXF drawing file which contains information of part geometry. As an algorithm fur corner finding, SUSAN method was chosen. It makes good performance in finding edge and corner in suitable time. And this paper suggested a simple algorithm to find matching point between CCD image and drawing file.
