The imprecise real-time scheduling can be used for minimizing the bad effects of timing faults by leaving less important tasks unfinished if necessary when a transient overload occured. In the imprecise scheduling, every time-critical task can be logically decomposed into two tasks : a mandatory task and an optional task. Recently, some studies in this field showed good schedulability performance and minimum total error by deferring the optional tasks. But the schedulability performance of the studies can be shown only when the execution time of each optional task was less than or equal to the execution time of its corresponding mandatory task. Therefore, in this paper, a new deferring strategy is proposed under the reverse execution time restriction to the previous studies. Nevertheless, the strategy produces comparable or superior schedulability performance to the previous studies and can minimize the total error also.

We performed numerical simulations of the excavation of an underground structure (the Giheung Tunnel) in order to evaluate the rate of groundwater flow into the structure and to estimate the groundwater level around the structure. The tunnel was constructed in Precambrian bedrock in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Geological and electrical resistivity data, as well as hydraulic test data, were used for the numerical modeling. The modeling took into account the strike-slip faults that cross the southern part of Giheung Tunnel, as these structures influence the discharge of groundwater into the tunnel. The transient modeling estimated a groundwater flow rate into the tunnel of $306\;m^3$/day, with a grout efficiency of 40%, yielding good agreement between the calculated change in groundwater level (6.20 m) and that observed (6.30 m) due to tunnel excavation.

We fabricated a resistive SFCL having a shunt resistor parallel to it in order to bifurcate the transient current at faults. The SFCL consists of a YBCO film coated with an Au layer (10 ${\omega}$ at room temperature), which is to disperse the heat generated at hot spots in the YBCO film, and the 5 ${\omega}$ shunt resistor. The minimum quench current of the SFCL was found to be 12.2 A$_{peak}$. This SFCL successfully controlled the fault current below 23 A$_{peak}$ which is otherwise to increase up to 113 A$_{peak}$. Bifurcation of the current resulted in the temperature rise of the YBCO/Au film 3 times slower than without the shunt, protecting the SFCL at high currents.

In this paper, a new high resolution reflectometry scheme, time-frequency domain reflectometry (TFDR), is proposed to detect and locate fault in wiring. Traditional reflectometry methods have been achieved in either the time domain or frequency domain only. However, time-frequency domain reflectometry utilizes time and frequency information of a transient signal to detect and locate the fault. The time-frequency domain reflectometry approach described in this paper is characterized by time-frequency reference signal design and post-processing of the reference and reflected signals to detect and locate the fault. Design of the reference signal in time-frequency domain reflectometry is based on the determination of the frequency bandwidth of the physical properties of cable under test. The detection and estimation of the fault on the time-frequency domain reflectometry relies on the time-frequency domain reflectometry is compared with commercial time domain reflectomtery (TDR) instrument. In these experiments provided in this paper, TFDR locates the fault with smaller error than TDR. Knowledge of time and frequency localized information for the reference and reflected signal gained via time-frequency analysis, allows one to detect the fault and estimate the location accurately.
