The microgrid concept is a promising approach for injecting clean, renewable, and reliable electricity into power systems. It can operate in both the grid-connected and the islanding mode. This paper addresses the two main challenges associated with the operation of a microgrid i.e. control and protection. A control strategy for inverter based distributed generation (DG) and an energy storage system (ESS) are proposed to control both the voltage and frequency during islanding operation. The protection scheme is proposed to protect the lines, DG and ESS. Further, the control scheme and the protection scheme are coordinated to avoid nuisance tripping of the DG, ESS and loads. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.

Objective : The goal of the following statewide age and gender-coordinated cohort study in Korea is to find out if there is a link between acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods : Utilizing the National Health Insurance Sharing Service cohort, patient data were collected. Six thousand four hundred seventy-five individuals with PD were distinguished by utilizing the International Classification of Diseases 10 code G20 and have enrolled in the PD group. The number of participants decreased to 5259 after excluding 1039 patients who were hospitalized less than one time or who visited an outpatient clinic less than twice. Then, 26295 individuals were selected as part of the control group after case control matching was conducted through 1 : 5 age- and gender-coordinated matching. The Cox proportional hazard regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier method were utilized to analyze the likelihood of AMI in PD. Results : After controlling for age and gender, the hazard ratio of AMI in the PD group was 3.603 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.837-4.577). After that, the following hazard ratio of AMI in the PD group was modified against for co-morbid medical disorders, resulting in 3.551 (95% CI, 2.795-4.511). According to a subgroup analysis, in males and females aged <65 and aged ≥65 and in the non-diabetes and diabetes, hypertension and non-hypertension, dyslipidemia and non-dyslipidemia subgroups, the AMI incidence rates were dramatically higher in the PD group compared to that of the control. Conclusion : Individuals with PD have a greater chance of AMI, according to this cross-national study.

In design and manufacturing airframe structures which are composed of a lot of sub-assemblies and large complex profile shapes it is difficult to reduce so called hardware variations. Accordingly cost increasing factors for manufacturing airframe parts are much more than other machine parts because of the variability of fabricated details and assemlies. To improve cost and quality, accurate assembly methods and DPD techniques are proposed in this paper which are based upon using CAD/CAM techniques, the concept of KC's and the coordinated datum and index throughout the design, tooling, manufacturing and inspection. The proposed methods are applied to produce fuselage frame assemblies and related engineering aspects are described regarding the design of parts and tools in the context of concurrent digital definition. First articles and consequent mass production of frame assemblies shows a great improvement of the process capability ratio from 0.7 by the past processes to 1.0 by the proposed methods in addition to the cost reduction due to the less number of tools, reduced total assembly times and the space compaction needed by massive inventory. The need to achieve better Cpk, however, and future studies to be investigated will be addressed briefly.

We herein consider a stochastic multi-item inventory management problem in which a warehouse sells multiple items with stochastic demand and periodic replenishment from a supplier. Inventory management requires the timing and amounts of orders to be determined. For inventory replenishment, trucks of finite capacity are available. Most inventory management models consider either a single item or assume that multiple items are ordered independently, and whether there is sufficient space in trucks. The order cost is commonly calculated based on the number of carriers and the usage fees of carriers. In this situation, we can reduce future shipments by supplementing items to an order, even if the item is not scheduled to be ordered. On the other hand, we can reduce the average number of items in storage by reducing the order volume and at the risk of running out of stock. The primary variables of interest in the present research are the average number of items in storage, the stock-out volume, and the number of carriers used. We formulate this problem as a multi-objective optimization problem. In a numerical experiment based on actual shipment data, we consider the item shipping characteristics and simulate the warehouse replenishing items coordinately. The results of the simulation indicate that applying a conventional ordering policy individually will not provide effective inventory management.

How to determine the right number of small base stations to activate in multi-cell uplinks to match traffic from a fixed quantity of K users is an open question. This paper analyses the uplink cooperative that jointly receives base stations activation to explore this question. This paper is different from existing works only consider transmitting power as optimization objective function. The global objective function is formulated as a summation of two terms: transmitting power for data and coordinated overhead for control. Then, the joint base stations activation and beamforming problem is formulated as a mixed integer second order cone optimization. To solve this problem, we develop two polynomial-time distributed methods. Method one is a two-stage solution which activates no more than K small base stations (SBSs). Method two is a heuristic algorithm by dual decomposition to MI-SOCP that activates more SBSs to obtain multiple-antennae diversity gains. Thanks to the parallel computation for each node, our methods are more computationally efficient. The strengths and weaknesses of these two proposed two algorithms are also compared using numerical results.

모바일 매핑시스템 (Mobile Mapping Systems)에 장착된 카메라로부터, 3차원 데이터를 취득시, 취득된 3차원 데이터의 정밀도를 결정하는 중요한 요소 중 하나는 IMU/GPS와 카메라 좌표계간의 상대적인 위치(lever-arm)와 자세(bore-sight) 얼라인먼트이다. 기존 연구는 지상기준점(GPS)을 통하여 카메라의 절대표정을 계산하기 때문에, 하나의 좌표계 (GPS 좌표계) 상에서 이 얼라인먼트가 이루어진다. 이 방법은 GCP을 기본적으로 필요로 하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 GCP가 필요하지 않고, 연관성이 없는 카메라 데이터와 IMU/GPS 데이터를 통하여 이 두좌표계 간의 얼라인먼트를 계산하는 수학적 모델링을 제시한다.

Purpose: This study observes how the consignment performs over time and proposes the proper way to operate the consignment to bring its best benefit to the supply chain system. Research design, data, and methodology: The supply chain system is represented as the mathematical model where a manufacturer and a retailer trade one type of products to maximize their own profits. In the numerical examples of the proposed models, the consignment is compared with the fully coordinated system as well as the traditional system, and both advantages and limitations of the consignment are detected. Results: The consignment makes greater profit than the traditional system after a certain time period. The consignment is still outperformed by the fully coordinated system. The numerical examples also show that the performance of the consignment is sensitive to the consignment ratio. Conclusions: This study finds out that a certain time period must be spent until the consignment brings the benefit to the supply chain system. The numerical outcomes also imply that the consignment requires additional features to be a completely effective supply chain collaboration program. To obtain the best result from the consignment, the supply chain members are recommended to decide the appropriate consignment ratio by consent.

For the magnetron, two kinds of auxiliary power is required to generate proper heat and electromagnetic field. In this paper the development of filament power supply and magnet power supply for high power industrial magnetron is studied. The filament power supply which is generate proper heat, even it doesn't require high power like main power supplies, has many consideration such as high voltage insulation and power control coordinated with high voltage cathod current to maintain constant heat generation. The novel control method using constant resistance control is proposed for accurate control of filament power supply.

In this paper, we propose a better solution for swimming plans of an articulated underwater robot, Crabster, with a view point of biomimetics. As a biomimetic model of underwater organisms, we chose diving beetles structurally similar to Crabster. Various swimming locomotion of the diving beetle has been observed and sorted by robotics technology through experiments with a high-speed camera and image processing software Image J. Subsequently, coordinated patterns of rhythmic movements of the diving beetle are reproduced by simple control parameters in a parameter space which make it easy to control trajectories and velocities of legs. Furthermore, a simulation was implemented with an approximated model to predict the motion of the robot under development based on the classified forward and turning locomotion. Consequently, we confirmed the applicability of parameterized leg locomotion to the articulated underwater robot through the simulated results by the approximated model.

In a newly developed production control system, a safety control ought to be included as a means of ensuring a more rational control system for achieving efficiency. Such a system does not hold any meaning in itself unless accompanied with appropriate ways to make it practicable. A firm would have a number of function groups. Each of these groups would have specific functions or duties to perform. Their production activities would be planned at the level of departmental management. The planning will take such forms as production, quality and safety planning, and so far as each department would order the line from its own standpoint, scientific production activities could not be expected. All the programmes must, therefore, be integrated and coordinated by a supervisor.
