Seismic dissipation devices can play a crucial role in mitigating earthquake damages, loss of life and post-event repair and downtime costs. This research investigates the use of ring springs with high-force-to-volume (HF2V) dissipaters to create damage-free, recentring connections and structures. HF2V devices are passive rate-dependent extrusion-based devices with high energy absorption characteristics. Ring springs are passive energy dissipation devices with high self-centring capability to reduce the residual displacements. Dynamic behaviour of a system with nonlinear structural stiffness and supplemental hybrid damping via HF2V devices and ring spring dampers is used to investigate the design space and potential. HF2V devices are modelled with design forces equal to 5% and 10% of seismic weight and ring springs are modelled with loading stiffness values of 20% and 40% of initial structural stiffness and respective unloading stiffness of 7% and 14% of structural stiffness (equivalent to 35% of their loading stiffness). Using a suite of 20 design level earthquake ground motions, nonlinear response spectra for 8 different configurations are generated. Results show up to 50% reduction in peak displacements and greater than 80% reduction in residual displacements of augmented structure compared to the baseline structure. These gains come at a cost of a significant rise in the base shear values up to 200% mainly as a result of the force contributed by the supplemental devices.

Automatic welding has been used frequently on pipeline projects. The productivity and reliability are most essential features of the automatic welding system. The mechanized GMAW process is the most widely used welding process and the carriage and band system is most effective welding system for pipeline laying. This application-oriented paper introduces new automatic welding equipment for pipeline construction. It is based on cutting-edge design and practical welding physics to minimize downtime. This paper also describes the control system which was designed and implemented for new automatic welding equipment. The system has the self diagnostic function which facilitates maintenance and repairs, and also has the network function via which the welding task data can be transmitted and the welding process data can be monitored. The laser vision sensor was designed for narrow welding groove in order to implement higher accuracy of seam tracking and fully automatic operation.

Recently, the subject of reliability attracts a great deal of domestic and international attentions and the extensive research activities are being conducted as well. Such trend exists mainly due to the fact that the research on the subject of reliability not only contributes to the theoretical developments, but also may find a wide range of applications in practice over several fields. In particular, the research regarding the maintenance policy incorporating certain types of warranty for repairable system and its application is being performed extensively by many researchers, and their efforts seem more concentrated on developing new maintenance policies which minimize the expected operating cost incurred for replacement and repair of the system, while keeping the system at high reliability. Effective maintenance policy may reduce the operating cost and decrease the downtime of the system during its mission period and consequently, increase the productivity of the system. In this article, the major areas of interest in the field of reliability and its historic perspectives are given briefly and the theoretical aspects in several fields of reliability including the maintenance and warranty policies is also discussed. Furthermore, the current domestic situation regarding the education and research on reliability is presented, along with the importance of reliability theory and the difficulty of training reliability personnel. Finally, the author's opinion for effective education system is proposed.

IT 기술이 발전하면서 반드시 유지해야하는 중요한 데이터들 또한 스토리지에 저장되기 시작했다. 이러한 현상은 저장된 데이터를 보호하기 위한 백업 작업의 중요성을 증가시켰으며 데이터의 양이 증가하면서 백업 작업의 수행 시간 또한 중요한 문제로 대두되었다. 스냅샷은 데이터 일관성을 유지하기 위한 서비스 중단 시간을 최소화하면서 데이터 백업을 수행할 수 있는 방식 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 디스크 기반 파일 시스템 스냅샷과 네트워크 기반 파일 시스템의 스냅샷에 대해서 연구한다. 디스크 기반 파일 시스템 스냅샷 연구에서는 Ext2, Ext3, XFS와 같이 스냅샷 기능을 제공하지 않는 리눅스 파일 시스템에서 사용 가능한 스냅샷 라이브러리인 PSnap을 제안하다. 또한 네트워크 기반 파일 시스템 스냅샷 연구에서는 ETRI에서 개발한 대용량 분산 파일 시스템인 GloryFS에 적용할 수 있는 GlorySnap를 제안한다.

The green water on deck has many harmful effects on the vessel in rough seas such as damages to hull structures, damages to cargos, increase of the downtime, decrease of the stability, and so on. Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels (FPSOs) are operated in a specific location and are normally positioned to meet mostly head or bow waves in order to reduce the roll motions. But this makes FPSOs more vulnerable to green water around the bow region therefore the bow shape should be properly designed to mitigate the green water damage. In this paper, experimental results in regular head waves for three kinds of bow shapes are compared and some design considerations are proposed, with the building a database for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation in mind.

클러스터 웹서버 시스템에서는 다수 서버의 장애로 인해 발생하는 가용도 저하 문제와 소프트웨어의 노화로 인하여 높은 성능과 가용도를 제공하기 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 n대의 주 서버와 k대의 여분서버로 구성되는 클러스터 웹 서버 시스템에 성능과 작업전이 시간을 고려한 소프트웨어 재활 모델을 제시하였고 다양한 시스템 운영 파라미터에 기초하여 소프트웨어의 재활정책에 대한 평가를 위해 평형 상태에서의 확률, 가용도, 손실비용 등을 계산하였다. 수학적 분석을 통해 다양한 시스템 운영 상태에 대한 실험을 통해 검증하였으며, 소프트웨어의 재활 정책에 의한 예방적 결함허용 기법이 시스템의 안정성에 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

Background Most women consider an oval-shaped face to be youthful and beautiful. In recent years, demand has grown for surgical procedures with a shorter downtime and fewer complications. These minimally invasive procedures include botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) injection, filler injection, suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), laser-assisted lipolysis (LAL), thread lifting, and fat grafting. This study aims to introduce an effective method for creating an aesthetically pleasing lower face using a combination of minimally invasive procedures. Methods From March 2017 to March 2019, 94 patients simultaneously underwent LAL, SAL, and thread lifting. Ancillary procedures such as BoNTA injections, hyaluronic acid filler injections, and removal of the buccal fat pad (BFP) were selectively performed according to the patient's condition. Results Patients rated their postoperative satisfaction as very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied. Approximately 83% of all respondents were satisfied with the results, whereas the remaining respondents had complaints regarding the outcomes. The most common reasons for dissatisfaction were a longer-than-expected recovery time and undercorrection, and the most severe complaint was skin depression as a result of overcorrection. Conclusions Our method of simultaneously performing LAL, SAL, and thread lifting, while adding BoNTA, filler injections, and BFP removal as needed, was capable of producing consistent and reliable aesthetic outcomes for the lower face.

복잡한 현대의 제어시스템 설계에 PLC를 사용하면 프로그램은 LD언어나 SFC언어를 사용한다. 대부분은 LD 언어를 사용하지만 최근에는 SFC 언어의 사용빈도수가 높아졌다. SFC 언어는 제어의 흐름을 이해하기가 쉽지만, 조합논리를 표현하는데는 단점을 가지고 있다. SFC언어에서 인터럽트를 처리할 때 인터럽트 요인이 발생하게 되면 메인프로그램을 중지하고 인터럽트 프로그램을 실행하여 프로그램이 종료된 후 메인프로그램으로 복귀하게 된다. 그러면 인터럽트 프로그램이 복잡할수록 메인프로그램 정지시간은 그만큼 길어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 SFC언어에서 메인프로그램의 휴지시간이 없는 인터럽트 처리방법을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 그의 타당성을 확인하였다.

The conventional computerized numerical controller (CNC) of machine tools has been increasingly replaced by a PC-based open architecture CNC (OAC) that is independent of a CNC vendor. The OAC and machine tools with an OAC have led to a convenient environment in which user-defined applications can be efficiently implemented within a CNC. This paper proposes a method of diagnosing the cause of operational faults. The method is based on the status of a programmable logic controller in machine tools with an OAC. An operational fault is defined as a disability that occurs during the normal operation of machine tools. Operational faults constitute more than 70 percent of all faults and are also unpredictable because most of them occur without any warning. To quickly and correctly diagnose the cause of an operational fault, two diagnostic models are proposed: the switching function and the step switching function. The cause of the fault is logically diagnosed through a fault diagnosis system using diagnostic models. A suitable interface environment between a CNC and developed application modules is constructed to implement the diagnostic functions in the CNC domain. The results of the diagnosis were displayed on a CNC monitor for machine operators and transmitted to a remote site through a Web browser. The proposed diagnostic method and its results were useful to unskilled machine operators and reduced the machine downtime.
