In this paper, we propose an efficient Robot Performance System (RPS). For the proposed system, a soundboard was developed and inserted into the body of a humanoid robot to enable audio playback without an external playback device; the hardware required to enable the external storage device within the soundboard to remember the sound sources necessary for performances was developed. Furthermore, a specialized performance scenario planning software called Robot Performance Planning Development Program (RPPDP) was developed to allow users to search through a motion database for the robot's default motions, applied motions, and motions for special circumstances, allowing anyone to plan a robot performance at a low cost in a short amount of time.

Recent industrial efforts are directed toward the development of CIM(Computer integrated Manufacturing) system. It is often the case that the analysis of the system dynamic behaviour is overlooked, even if it is important for both the economic justification and system performance evaluation. The main purpose of this study is to present a n approach of system performance evaluation for PCB(Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing, especially the inner layer manufacturing processes, using simulation. The general overview of the PCB manufacturing environment has first been discussed. Then a computer simulation program which can consider the diverse dynamic environmental changes has been developed. Extensive system analyses have been performed based on the program developed and the three measures proposed. The results obtained in this study provide valuable guidelines for practical concerns and some recommendations for future extensions.

The object of this study is to develop the computer program to predict the transmission loss of a perforated tube muffler with mean flow, and to investigate the influence of porosity and mean flow on the performance of the muffler. The numerical model is made by dividing the muffler into small segments and estimating the transfer matrices for each segment. The computer program is developed for the calculation of the transmission loss of a through-or cross-flow perforated muffler. The experiment is performed for the measurement of the transmission loss and/or the pressure drop for various porosity and flow velocity. From the comparison between computation and experiment, is known that the numerical model agrees well with the experimental result. The effect of porosity and flow velocity on the acoustic performance and the flow resistance of a muffler is presented.

Simulation of daylighting by computer program is a method to avoid unnecessary efforts in manufacture of its testing models, to reduce its measuring tolerances and be able to provide variations of various weather conditions as well. Many simulation programs on daylighting have been released freely or commercialized for selling, however, a demonstration of their availability and validity as a tool for evaluating daylighting performance is required since each one has its own characteristics. The objectives of this study lie in suggesting an application method of evaluation tools and demonstration of limits and characteristics so as to more easily determine the daylightingperformance in the very initial stages of planning for an arbitrary office space in which windows with daylight access are built. We produced scale model of the general light inducing type side lighting with lightshelfand ceiling, and the luminance (at 78 measuring points) and illuminance (at 84 measuring points) were measured in a clear sky. And a comparison of the measured values and the calculated values from a computer simulation using the Lightscape program was performed.

The water-to-air heat pump system requires relatively lower energy consumption and less installation space. The heat exchangers used for this system are the finned-tube type for the indoor unit and the double-tube type for the outdoor unit. Mathematical models for this system are developed and programmed in computer. Experimental data from various conditions are obtained and compared with calculated values from the computer simulation program. Differences of cooling capacity and COP are 1.25% and 0.47%, and those of heating capacity and COP are 0.51% and 0.13%, respectively. Simulation results are in good agreement with test results. Therefore, the developed program is effectively used for the design and the performance prediction of water-to-air heat pump system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of precast concrete pier cap system. The proposed precast pier cap provides an alternative to current cast-in-place systems, particularly for projects in which a reduced construction time is desired. Five large-scale pier cap specimens were constructed and tested under quasistatic monotonic loading. The computer program, RCAHEST (Reinforced Concrete Analysis in Higher Evaluation System Technology) was used for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures. A bonded tendon element is used based on the finite element method, and can represent the interaction between the tendon and concrete of a prestressed concrete member. A joint element is used in order to predict the inelastic behaviors of segmental joints with a shear key. This study documents the testing of the precast concrete pier cap system under monotonic loading and presents conclusions and design recommendations based on the experimental and analytical findings. Additional full-scale experimental research is needed to refine and confirm design details, especially for actual detailing employed in the field.

The graphic processor unit (GPU) has been developed to process not only graphic data but also general system data. It shows a better performance than CPU in algorithm for 3D graphics and parallel program. In order to execute algorithm for CPU on GPU, we should understand about GPU architectures and rewrite program considering parallel processing capability and new memory model of GPU. For this reasons, a performance prediction model for the algorithm and its predicted performance through GPU system are required. These can predict problems in GPU application development or construct a performance evaluation standard for GPU. In this paper, we applied the AES encryption algorithms on our performance model and accomplished performance prediction with high accuracy under a heavy workload.

Kinematic analysis was made on a gear type high speed planting mechanism for riding-type rice transplanters. The kinematic equations thus derived were computer coded to simulate its motion characteristics such as a planting locus, velocities and accelerations of gears and planting knife, etc. Using the simulation program a sensitivity analysis of design parameters was also carried out to determine their effects on the planting performance. Of the design parameters the eccentricity of the gear was found most influential.

The risk management is an organized method for identifying and measuring risk and for selecting, developing, and implementing options for the handling of risk. The risk management covers all programatic and technical factors which affect the system development performance, cost, and schedule. While technical issues are primary concern for systems engineering, the three elements(performance, cost, and schedule) must be balanced for a successful risk management process. This paper proposes the risk management process for the KSLV-I(Korea Space Launch Vehicle-I) program using computer-aided systems engineering tool, Cradle. The risk management process of KSLV-I program is similar to the general risk management process, but it has its own specific features to manage large-scale complex characteristics of KSLV-I program.

Purpose: The measure the degree of computer game addiction; to examine the relationship between computer game addiction and contributing factors; and to discover the predictors of computer game addiction of elementary school children of Korea. Method: Data were assembled from questionnaires distributed among 455 children from four elementary schools in Gyung-buk Province. Result: The level of computer game addiction of subjects was rather low, and correlated significantly with gender, academic performance, family economic status, playmates for leisure time, place of playing computer game, length of the habit of playing game, average playing time of game per day, frequency of PC-room(Internet Cafe for game) visits per week, game partners and reasons for playing game. Multiple regression analysis showed that 45％ of the computer game addiction was significantly related to gender(21％), impulsiveness(10％), average playing time of game per day(9％), depression(2％) and other variables(3％) such as playmates for leisure time, academic performance and frequency of PC-room visits per week. Conclusion: We suggest these results be used to develop a computer game addiction prevention program.
