The second project of the development of distribution automation system was started recently in Korea. We will use two algorithms for feeder automation in this project. The one is Yes/No logic and it will be applied in large city. Yes/No logic determined the faulty section by fault current following information of the fault indicators of each switches. The other is automatic closing process of switches, and it will be applied in rural area. In the latter method, each switches close systematically, and it can find and separate the faulty section, the computer system treats only the feeder reconfiguration finally.

This paper deals with ZMP trajectory generation in multi step walking of IWR-III(Inha Walking Robot) Biped Walking Robot. Biped walking is realized by combining 6-types of pre-defined steps and the actual ZMP can be used as a stability index of a robot. For the good tracking of actual ZMP, desired ZMP trajectory is generated during the whole walking time not for each step. Trajectory generation is performed considering velocities and accelerations of given via points using 5-th order polynomial interpolation method. As a result, balancing joints have a more smooth and continuous motion and actual ZMP has a better tracking ability. Numerical simulator is done by MATLAB to guarantee the walking of a robot satisfying the ZMP stability.

범용 인버터는 계통 전원의 전압 강하 또는 정전 발생 시, 정류기의 직류단 전압이 감소하여 인버터 고장(fault)이 발생한다. 보호 동작으로서 인버터는 일시적으로 전원 공급이 이루어 지지 않는 상태에서 제어 기능 및 관리가 이루어 질 수 있도록 Ride-Through 운전을 수행한다. 고장 발생 없이 제어 시스템 상태를 유지하여 전원 복구 후, 빠른 재기동이 가능하다. 본 논문에서 V/f 제어를 사용하는 범용 인버터를 고려한 Ride-Through 방법으로 KEB(Kinetic Energy Backup) 운전을 제안한다. KEB 운전은 순시 정전에 의한 인버터 고장 방지를 위해 요구되는 에너지를 계산하고 슬립 주파수를 조절하여 회생 운전을 통해 인버터의 직류단 전압을 일정하게 유지한다. 제안한 방법은 실험을 통해 유효성을 검증한다.

Although tracking methods are efficient and popular for vessel segmentation, they require a seed to initiate an instance of tracking. In this paper, a new method to detect new seeds for tracking of arterial segments from CT angiography (CTA) and to construct a vascular structure is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on shape analysis of connected components in a volume of interest around a vessel segment which was already extracted by tracking. The eigenvalues of the covariance matrix are used as the shape features for detection. The experimental results on actual clinical data showed that the results totally revealed the arterial tree not hindered by bone or veins. In visual comparison to a method which combines registration and subtraction of both pre-contrast and post-contrast CT volumes, the proposed method produced comparable results to the reference method and were confirmed of its feasibility for clinical use of reducing the cost and burden of patients.

Generally, closed slots are adopted to reduce the water friction loss in both the stator and the rotor of water filling submersible motor due to the special environment of operation. One of the obvious differences between the traditional induction motors and water filling submersible motors is that the submersible motors only need relatively smaller starting torque. This paper aims to analyze the slot leakage reactance of water filling submersible motor during starting transient operation. An improved analytical method which considered the magnetic saturation of the slot bridge and the skin effect of rotor bars is proposed. The slot permeance factor which has a direct impact on the slot leakage reactance is calculated. Then finite element models with different stator slot types are constructed and search coils are introduced to measure the slot flux linkage. Moreover, the starting performances of the models with two typical stator slots are compared and the flux leakage characteristics are obtained. Finally, the results obtained by finite element method are very close to the results obtained by analytical method.

In the design of sensorless control system for induction motor, high-precision speed estimation is one of the most difficult problems. To solve this problem, the common method is model reference adaptive method (MRAS). MRAS requires accurate motor parameters to estimate rotor speed precisely. However, when motor is running, the variety of temperature and magnetic saturation will lead to the change of motor parameters such as stator resistance and rotor resistance, which will lower the accuracy of the speed estimation. To improve the accuracy and rapidity of speed estimation, this paper analyses the mutual MRAS speed identification based on rotor flux linkage, and proposes an improved mutual MRAS speed identification based on back-EMF. The improved method is verified by Simulink simulation and motor experimental platform based on DSP2812. The results of simulation and experiment indicate that the method proposed by this paper can significantly improve the accuracy of speed identification, and speed up the response of identification.

According to increase of construction projects which is accomplished in the town, diaphragm wall method was proposed. This method diminished noise and vibration. And it is able to excavate deeper than other methods. But excavation work is difficult to maintain vertical and requires much time to work. Also the work result depends on know-how, experience and intuition of excavating machine operator. We interviewed technical experts related with slurry wall method and find equipment's characteristics. We used cost-concern matrix to investigate the propriety for the introduction of trench cutter automation. Through the research, it is proper to apply trench cutter automation.

Background: Previous studies have investigated technology-aided needling training systems for acupuncture on phantom models using various measurement techniques. In this study, we developed and validated a vision-based needling training system (noncontact measurement) and compared its training effectiveness with that of the traditional training method. Methods: Needle displacements during manipulation were analyzed using OpenCV to derive three parameters, i.e., needle insertion speed, needle insertion angle (needle tip direction), and needle insertion length. The system was validated in a laboratory setting and a needling training course. The performances of the novices (students) before and after training were compared with the experts. The technology-aided training method was also compared with the traditional training method. Results: Before the training, a significant difference in needle insertion speed was found between experts and novices. After the training, the novices approached the speed of the experts. Both training methods could improve the insertion speed of the novices after 10 training sessions. However, the technology-aided training group already showed improvement after five training sessions. Students and teachers showed positive attitudes toward the system. Conclusion: The results suggest that the technology-aided method using computer vision has similar training effectiveness to the traditional one and can potentially be used to speed up needling training.
