A method to investigate the design variable tolerance effects on the variances of the response, the characteristics, and the performance of a mechanical system is presented in this paper. The Monte-Carlo method has been conventionally employed to achieve such goals. However, the Monte-Carlo method has some serious drawbacks related to the computation time and the consistent solution convergence. To resolve the drawbacks of the method, a method employing sensitivity information is proposed. Sensitivity equations for a mechanical system are obtained analytically by differentiating the multi-body formulation with respect to a design variable. By using the chain rule along with the sensitivity information, the variances of the response, the characteristics, and the performance of a dynamic system can be calculated.

This paper presents a database approach to integrating the structural analysis and design processes for a typical shear wall apartment building design. Our initial efforts have focused on extracting various graphic information from CAD(AutoCAD™) systems. But now, we concentrate our research efforts on organizing specific information generated during the structural analysis and design processes. The proposed overall system consists of a conventional structural analysis package, a conventional CAD system, and different application interface programs. This system is based on an engineering database which is developed by using an object-oriented data modelling approach. The system is actually implemented on an ORACLE™-based relational database management system.

In this paper, we propose a smart indoor garden aquaculture system using PIC. In the proposed smart indoor garden aquaculture system, the aquaphonics system circulates the nutrient solution of the aquarium, the filtrate tank, and the flowerpot. The automated control system that controls the state of the nutrient solution through the various sensors and controls the pump and valve is designed. As a result of the verification of the smart indoor garden aquaculture system proposed in this paper, it was confirmed that the environment suitable for the survival of fish and plants was maintained by monitoring water temperature, DO, pH measured in real time. The water level in aquarium and flower pot was controlled through automatic operation of the Electric vale and pump.

This paper proposes a virtual storage system for smart home/office embedded devices by utilizing AoE and HyperSCSI protocols. It relies on current Ethernet infrastructures and aims to provide a low-cost solution for the storage limitation problem on embedded devices. We choose AoE (ATA over Ethernet) and HyperSCSI in our implementation because they are relatively lightweight compared to other network storage protocols such as NFS(Network File System), CIFS(Common Internet File System) and iSCSI(internet Small Computer System Interface). The design and architecture of our proposed virtual system as well as the prototype demonstration are presented in this paper.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) involves the integration of equipment information and component parameters across various engineering disciplines. The complex processes during model construction can lead to human errors. Furthermore, design changes often occur at various stages of the building's lifecycle, requiring designers and modelers to make timely modifications, resulting in significant costs and time consumption. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design is considerably more complex than architectural design. Therefore, this study focuses on the automatic generation of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ductwork model with MEP design through BIM. Dynamo, a visual programming language (VPL), offers features such as arrangement, connectivity, and scalability. Thus, this research applied Dynamo to develop the Automatic Ductwork BIM Model Generation System. The BIM model generated by the system facilitates collaborative efforts and enables the analysis of HVAC System Conflicts. The system extracts coordinates for air handling units, supply air, and exhaust air outlets. The equipment is automatically positioned based on these coordinates, and the corresponding duct paths are generated by reading CAD files. At each duct connection point, appropriate fittings are fabricated according to specifications and dimensions. The duct system is configured with distinct colors, and the results are visualized in Revit, facilitating HVAC system clash detection in the future. This study undertakes a real project to validate the proposed system and processes and assesses its impact on modeling efficiency, real-time responsiveness, and accuracy, realizing automated ductwork generation.

Background : Recently, Medical Act was amended to encourage the induction of combined treatment between Oriental Medicine doctors and Western doctors. As yet, the information infra for combined treatment has not been studied. Objectives : This study aimed to design the architecture of information system for combined treatment of the Oriental and the Western Medicine. Methods : First, we defined the information of combined treatment through the analysis of research trends from the inside and outside of the country. Because the data compatibility is very important, the definition of information must be ahead of anything else. Second, we designed the architecture of information system based on the prior definition. Results : We classified the information for combined treatment by subject such as law, clinic, research, manpower, facilities, and education. In this paper information system examined in three aspects. First the infra layer is organized as hardware, netware, and security. Second is data warehouse layer for the storing, filtering, and extraction of data. Third is service layer which is related to data transmission. And Finally all information for combined treatment is provided through the portal system for medical consumer, political planner, and R&D researcher. Conclusion : In this paper, we studied the essential factors of combined treatment information in the view point of information system. But the detailed design and implementation of information system must be followed to effect this results.

In order to survive worldwide competition, today's industries are experiencing strong pressure to introduce higher quality products with lower cost and shorter lead-time. Therefore, the role of design in the process of product development is increasing in significance. In this research, two methods for improving the design capability are proposed: construction of design environment and design automation using 3D CAD system. The designers and design process are the core of product design using 3D CAD system. In order to maximize the design performance, construction of the design environment including selection of a suitable system, designer training for best use of the system, establishment of an efficient design process, and stabilization of the environment are required. A method is suggested to construct design environment by systematizing the contents of the projects and consulting experiences carried out for various categories of business such as electronic devices, motorcycles, electricity parts, sanitary wares, injection molds, and die casing molds. Design automation helps reduce tedious and time-consuming jobs, simplify complicated and error-prone modeling and drawing works to shorten the lead time and improve the product quality. To develop a design automation system, understanding the process and the related knowledge on design are very important before implementing the system using API provided by 3D CAD system. In this research, an eight-step procedure is proposed for the development of a design automation system. These eight steps are analysis of needs, determination of specification, verification of specification using 3D CAD system, inspection of related API functions, programming, field test, application in practice, and maintenance. A case study in which five design automation systems in the design of turbine generators using the proposed method is introduced in detail. These systems play important roles in the generation of various output items including 3D models, drafts, material information, and NC data. The case study shows how effectively the design time is reduced and the quality improved using those systems.
