This study is a preliminary study to design a character automation system that considers the facial characteristics of mammals. The experimental data of this study was conducted on dogs (dog breeds) and humans, which were designed to be used in many contents. First, data was extracted from 100 types of dogs and 100 human data. Second, the criteria for measuring the ratio of important parts of the dog and human face were suggested. In addition, a comparative analysis of the face of a dog and a human face is conducted. Lastly, by analyzing the main component(PCA), the most characteristic elements in the faces of dogs and humans were analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that the length of the face, the size of the eyes, the length of the glabellar, and the length of the glabellar and other parts are important. Through this study, the features of the dog's face that are different from humans are expected to contribute to the animal character automation.

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) have emerged as the most promising topology for high and medium voltage applications for the coming years. However, one particular negative characteristic of MMCs is the existence of circulating current, which contains a dc component and a series of low-frequency even-order ac harmonics. If not suppressed, these ac harmonics will distort the arm currents, increase the power loses, and cause higher current stresses on the semiconductor devices. Repetitive control (RC) is well known due to its distinctive capabilities in tracking periodic signals and eliminating periodic errors. In this paper, a novel circulating current control scheme base on RC is proposed to effectively track the dc component and to restrain the low-frequency ac harmonics. The integrating function is inherently embedded in the RC controller. Therefore, the proposed circulating current control only parallels the RC controller with a proportional controller. Thus, conflicts between the RC controller and the traditional proportional integral (PI) controller can be avoided. The design methodologies of the RC controller and a stability analysis are also introduced. The validity of the proposed circulating current control approach has been verified by simulation and experimental results based on a three-phase MMC downscaled prototype.

모바일 앱의 수가 기하급수적으로 늘어남에 따라 앱 개발과정에서 이루어지는 테스트의 자동화가 중요해지고 있다. 앱을 출시하기까지 다양한 유형의 테스트를 통해 반복적인 검증이 이루어지는데, 다양한 유형의 테스트 중 GUI 테스트를 중심으로 본 연구는 진행되었다. 안드로이드의 GUI 테스트 자동화 툴을 개발하기 위해서 안드로이드 앱 테스트의 UI Control 16가지와 Material Design Guideline에 대해서 기초 자료를 수집하였다. 그 후 기존 GUI 테스트 자동화 툴에 대해서 스크린 캡처 테스트 기반 2가지 툴과 소스코드 분석 테스트기반 4가지 툴 분석을 하였다. 분석을 통해 기존의 GUI 테스트 자동화 툴들은 시각적 설계, 인터페이스 사용 용이성, 컴포넌트 배치에 대해서는 고려하지 않고 있다는 점을 파악하였다. 이러한 기존 툴의 미비점을 보완하고자 새로운 GUI 테스트 자동화 툴 개발 방법으로 컴포넌트 선정이나 관리 분석 그리고 컴포넌트별 소스코드 예시로 탐색 메뉴나 버튼, 아이템 그룹화나 리스트에 관한 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 GUI 테스트의 새로운 개발 방향을 제시함으로써 개발사의 안정적인 앱 배포에 기여할 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

In this paper, we approach the problem of image filter design automation using a kind of intrinsic evolvable hardware architecture. For the purpose of implementing the intrinsic evolution process in a common FPGA chip and evolving a complicated digital circuit system-image filter, the design automation system employs the reconfigurable circuit architecture as the reconfigurable component of the EHW. The reconfigurable circuit architecture is inspired by the Cartesian Genetic Programming and the functional level evolution. To increase the speed of the hardware evolution, the whole evolvable hardware system which consists of evolution algorithm unit, fitness value calculation unit and reconfigurable unit are implemented by a commercial FPGA chip. The Celoxica RC1000 card which is fitted with a Xilinx Virtex xcv2000E FPGA chip is employed as the experiment platform. As the result, we conclude the terms of the synthesis report of the image filter design automation system and hardware evolution speed in the Celoxica RC1000 card. The evolved image filter is also compared with the conventional image filter form the point of filtered image quality.

Many mid-sized companies in Korean automotive industry have attempted to solve the lack of human power, to control the quality of components, to improve the production rate, and to innovate the manufacturing line. The goals of this study are to analyze the production rate of an automotive component manufacturing line using simulation software, to construct a Flexible Automation Subassembly (FAS) system and to suggest an optimized layout design using FAS line. In this research, the simulation model for manufacturing line was developed and used the realistic data of a medium sized company in Korean automotive industry. To complete this research, a simulation software 'ARENA' was used. This research analyzed the work distribution strategy and cycle time element for production flow and proposed an optimized layout to resolve line balancing problem which would bring the improved production rate.

LCL filters are widely used in three-phase PWM converter for its advantages of small volume, low cost and inhibition of high frequency current harmonic. However, it is difficult to optimize its design because its parameters are mutually influenced while the value of each parameter for LCL filter has impacts on the converter's cost and size. In this paper, the target of optimization is to minimize the parameter values of LCL filter, and an optimization method for parameters of LCL filter of three-phase PWM converter based on least square method is proposed. With this method, a quantitative calculation of the harmonic component of the converter’s side phase voltage is performed first, and then the quantitative relationship between phase voltage harmonics and grid phase current harmonics is analyzed. After that, the attenuation requirement of each harmonic is obtained by taking into account the requirements for each harmonic component of grid current. Then according to the optimization objective, the objective function with minimum harmonic attenuation deviation is established, and least squares method is adopted for three-dimensional global searching of parameters for LCL filter. Thus, the designed harmonic attenuation curve approximates the minimum attenuation requirements, and the optimized LCL filter parameters are obtained. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by the experiments.

A power plant simulation tool ('PowerSim') has been developed with 10 years experience from the development of a plant simulator for efficient modeling of a power plant. PowerSim is the first developed tool in Korea for plant simulation with various plant component models, instructor station function and the Graphic Model Builder (GMB). PowerSim is composed of a graphic editor using general purpose design software, a netlist converter, component models, the scheduler, Instructor Station and an executive. The graphic editor generates a netlist that shows the connection status of the various plant components from the Simdiagram, which is drawn by Icon Drag method supported by GUI environment of the PowerSim. Netlist Converter normalizes the connection status of the components. Scheduler makes scheduling for the execution of the device models according to the netlist. Therefore, the user makes Simdiagram based on the plant Pipe and Instrument Drawing (P&ID) and inputs the plant data for automatic simulating execution. This paper introduces Graphic Model Builder (GMB), instructor station, executive and the detailed introduction of thermal-hydraulic modeling. This paper will also introduce basic ideas on how the simulation Diagram, based on netlist generated from general purpose design software, is made and how the system is organized. The developed tool has been verified through the simulation of a real power plant.
