In airframe structural tests, a control system which has many control channels and a data acquisition system which has many data acquisition channels are used. The more it is used many channels in airframe structural test, the more hardware resources are added in test system. Before test load is applied in test article, test engineer must check test system and components. Therefore, many problems which be likely to happen to system can be minimized. The checking method of test system and components is calibration verification. In this paper, it is described that calibration verification concept and method in relation to airframe structural test controller components.(MTS Aero90 Multifunction Input Output Processor and 497.22 Dual DC Conditioner)

This study aimed to examine Korean men's experiences of work-family balance in dual income families with children under six years of age. We focused on identifying the difficulty of balancing work and family considering their individual, social, and cultural conditions. The method was a qualitative study involving two in-depth interviews with each of 12 men, and analyzing the data through the grounded theory approach. From the results, a model of men's work-family experience was constructed. It demonstrates the central phenomena (difficulties of balancing), the causal conditions (lacking time for family, seeking support from the employer, and learning husband's roles insufficiently), the contextual conditions (remaining paternalism and changing husband's roles), the intervening conditions (workplace, childcare support, and wife characteristics), and strategies (help from relatives, utilizing daycare centers, controlling birth, managing work conditions, and using family polices). We clarify the overall picture of working and family life experiences, and also show how men deal with their problems in their circumstances by balancing working and family life. In conclusion, males have difficulty participating in family life autonomously because of having less decision-making power than the wife. Moreover, the great responsibilities of the breadwinner disturb the work-family balance. Men devote themselves to working to hold a job instead of spending time with their family. However, they ultimately value work-family balance with respect to 'keeping a peaceful family life'.

It is complicate to analysis the systems, dual mode hybrid systems, because they are composed of many planetary gear sets. For the performance test, it needs to define the systems with representative parameters. In this paper, system parameters, $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\zeta$, are introduced to define the systems, and an arbitrary system like E-IVT developed by Renault Motors is converted to the general system having equivalent parameters, such as $\beta'$, $R'_b$. Pontryagin principle and Kuhn-Tucker condition method are applied to solve the constrained problems, by which the methodology for accelerating test is generalized, and the results of the simulation are reported. In addition, the effects of alternative strategies are mentioned. The method of fuel economy test at engine mode is also introduced. The results of test at engine mode is different from the results of optimal trajectory, but the fuel economy of the engine mode is related to the highway driving and optimized operating of the system.

Over the 50 percents of women who are older than 45 years have osteoporosis. Because people hardly recognize this disease by themselves, the researches that measure bone mineral density have been doing widely to detect osteoporosis in the early stage. The most widely used methods for bone mineral density measurement are based on the X-ray imaging. Among them, DEXA(Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) imaging is one of the important methods in bone mineral density measurement. DEXA images are useful methods to increase diagnosis efficiency by reducing anatomic noise as two images obtained from two different energy levels. However, it has some problems to a calibration parameter determined by the heuristic method for bone extraction. In this paper, we propose the method to extract bone in DEXA image using calibration parameter based on anatomic attenuation coefficient. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method is effective.

This paper presents a grid-connected dual stator-winding induction generator (DWIG) wind power system suitable for wide wind speed ranges. The parallel connection via a unidirectional diode between dc buses of both stator-winding sides is employed in this DWIG system, which can output a high dc voltage over wide wind speed ranges. Grid-connected inverters (GCIs) do not require booster converters; hence, the efficiency of wind energy utilization increases, and the hardware topology and control strategy of GCIs are simplified. In view of the particularities of the parallel topology and the adopted generator control strategy, we propose a novel excitation-capacitor optimization solution to reduce the volume and weight of the static excitation controller. When this excitation-capacitor optimization is carried out, the maximum power tracking problem is also considered. All the problems are resolved with the combined control of the DWIG and GCI. Experimental results on the platform of a 37 kW/600 V prototype show that the proposed DWIG wind power system can output a constant dc voltage over wide rotor speed ranges for grid-connected operations and that the proposed excitation optimization scheme is effective.

It is known that diesel engines have the disadvantage of high emission levels of NOx and PM. Therefore, many combustion strategies have been developed to reduce these harmful NOx and PM emissions in a diesel engine. Among these strategies, HCCI(Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) and PCCI(Premixed Charge Compression Ignition) are the most popular as these can reduce NOx and PM simultaneously. However, when a single fuel like diesel is applied, it is difficult to control the combustion phase and this can lead to power reduction. In this study, premixed gasoline and pilot diesel were used to overcome the problems of controllability of the combustion phase and harmful emissions. We injected gasoline directly into the combustion chamber and the gasoline/air mixture was ignited with a pilot diesel fuel near the top dead center. The results showed that the combustion and emission characteristics of dual-fuel combustion were comparable to those of conventional diesel combustion. When we applied the dual-fuel PCCI combustion concept, more than 90 % of NOx and PM emission was reduced simultaneously without significant degradation of efficiency compared to conventional diesel combustion.

A novel Zero Current Switching(ZCS) Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) boost converter with dual mode for reducing two rectifiers reverse recovery related losses is proposed. The switches of the proposed converter are operating to work alternatively turn-on and turn-off with soft switching condition In the every cycle and the proposed converter reduces the reverse recovery current, which is related switching losses and EMI problems, of the free-wheeling diode$(D_1, D_2)$ by adding the resonant inductor Lr, in series with the switch $S_1$. The switching components$(S_1, S_2, D, D_1)$ in the proposed boost converter are subjected to minimum voltage and current stresses same as those in their PWM counterparts because there are no additional active switches and resonant elements compared with the conventional ZVT PWM $converters^{[2]}$. The operation of the proposed converter, in this paper, is analyzed and to verify the feasibility of the characteristics is built and tested.

Today's microprocessor designs are not free from temperature as well as power consumption. As processor technology scales down, an on-chip circuitry increases power density, which incurs excessive temperature (hotspot) problem. To tackle thermal problems cost-effectively, Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) has been suggested: DTM techniques have benefits of thermal reliability and cooling cost. However, they require trade-off between thermal control and performance loss. This paper proposes a dual integer register file structure to minimize the performance degradation due to DTM invocations. In on-chip thermal control, the most important functional unit is an integer register file. It is the hotspot unit because of frequent read and write data accesses. The proposed dual integer register file migrates read data accesses by adding an extra register file, thus reduces per-unit dynamic power dissipation. As a result, the proposed structure completely eliminates localized hotspots in the integer register file, resulting in much less performance degradation by average 13.35% (maximum 18%) improvement compared to the conventional DTM architecture.
