We consider 'efficiency versus privacy-protection' problem concerned with several well-known randomized response (RR) devices to estimate pro­portion of people bearing a stigmatizing characteristic in a community. The literature of RR on respondent's privacy protection discusses only about response specific jeopardy measures. We propose a measure of jeopardy that is independent of the RR offered by the interviewee and recommend it for using as a technical characteristic of the RR device. For ensuring better cooperation from the interviewees this new measure that depends only on the design parameters of the RR devices may be disclosed to the respondents before producing the RR by implementing the randomization device.

Recently major power outages are increased, because of transmission line fault by birds. Therefore, after finding out the problem of the current prevention measure for the super high voltage transmission Line in Korea and analyzing the protection measure of other foreign power companies for the transmission facilities fault by birds, this paper describes an effective device for power line fault protection by birds which has no legal problem and also protects birds. The described prevention measure of power outage by birds in this paper, has a special feature that is able to be installed on the current overhead transmission facilities without a replacement or change.

The standard radiation protection method in the angiography suite involves the use of a thyroid shield, a lead apron, and lead glasses. However, exposure to substantial amounts of ionizing radiation can cause cataracts, tumors, and skin erythema. A newly developed curtain-type radiation protection device consists of a curtain drape composed of a five-layer bismuth and lead acrylic head-shielding plate, with both bearing an equivalent 0.25 mm lead thickness. In this study, a quality assurance phantom was used as the patient to create radiation scatter from the radiographic source, and an anthropomorphic mannequin phantom was used as the interventionalist to measure the radiation dose at seven different anatomical locations. Thermoluminescent dosimeters were used to measure the radiation dose. The experimental groups consisted of all-sided or one-sided curtain set-ups, the presence or absence of a conventional shielding system, and the orientation of beam irradiation. Consequently, the curtain-type radiation protection device exhibited better radiation protection range and capabilities than conventional radiation protection systems, especially in safeguarding the forehead, eyes, arms, and feet, with minimal radiation exposure. Moreover, the mean shielding ratios of the conventional shielding system and curtain-type radiation protection device were measured at 51.94% and 93.86%, respectively. Additionally, no significant decrease in the radiation protection range or capability was observed, even with changes in the beam orientation or one-sided protection. Compared with a conventional shielding system, the curtain-type radiation protection device decreased radiation exposure doses and improved comfort. Therefore, it is a potential new radiation protection device for veterinary interventional procedures.

This study describes the structure and operation modes of vertical stabilization (VS) converter for international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) and proposes a protection method. ITER VS converter supplies voltage (${\pm}1000V$)/current (${\pm}22.5kA$) to superconducting magnets for plasma current vertical stabilization. A four-quadrant operation must be achieved without zero-current discontinuous section. The operation mode of the VS converter is separated in 12-pulse mode, 6-pulse mode and circulation current mode according to the magnitude of the load current. Protection measures, such as bypass and discharge, are proposed for abnormal conditions, such as over current, over voltage, short circuit, and voltage sag. VS converter output voltage is controlled to satisfy voltage response time within 20 msec. Bypass operation is completed within 60 msec and discharge operation is performed successfully. The feasibility of the proposed control algorithm and protection measure is verified by assembling a real controller and implementing a power system including the VS converter in RTDS for a hardware-in-loop (HIL) facility.

This paper proposes shortcircuit fault protection method in a synchronous buck converter using the PCB pattern Rogowski coil. The PCB pattern Rogowski coils are embedded in the gate driver to measure the device currents of the top and bottom side. When shortcircuit occurs in the system, the gate signal is blocked by the proposed fault protection method using the device current. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed fault protection method is verified in the shortcircuit system.

Heating method using electric heater was used to reduce water content in fingernail clippings. Authors found that low water content is helpful to measure EPR signal of fingernail sample with enhanced variability. Generally, natural dehydration happens in normal room condition at least one month and needs much time for using in experiment. So, artificial heating method is applied in this study for time savings. Fingernail samples were tested to find effect of water content to the EPR signal on microwave power levels for dosimetry. Low water content in fingernail reduced variability of EPR signal and makes it possible to measure accurate EPR signal. It also made it possible to measure constant movement of EPR signals on several microwave power levels. Although this method was difficult to apply directly in fingernail/EPR dosimetry, we, authors, believe that this heating method would be useful to differentiate MIS2 and RIS which are generally located at the same g-factor and almost impossible to be identified with each other.

Virus protection infrastructure management is network infrastructure management, traffic route management, virus protection zone expansion, and virus protection management for gateway area. This research paper provides a diagnosis of characteristics and weaknesses of the structure of existing virus protection infrastructure, and recommends an improved multi-level virus protection infrastructure as a measure for correcting these weaknesses. Unproved virus protection infrastructure fitters unnecessary mail at the gateway stage to reduce the toad on server. As a result, number of transmission accumulation decreases due to the reduction in the CPU load on the Virus wall and increase in virus treatment rate.

In today's highly competitive environment, the importance of technology protection cannot be overemphasized. To evaluate technology protection competency of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises(SMEs), Government has conducted surveys every year but its effectiveness is still in question. To enhance the effectiveness of technology protection for SMEs, a customized evaluation model of technology protection competency has been suggested in this study. Surveys are conducted to measure the relative importance of evaluation areas that can be influenced by the size and type of business. The analysis shows that there exists significant differences between evaluation areas. This study suggests that the effectiveness of technology protection can be enhanced by utilizing a customized evaluation model depending on the size and type of business. Also, the proposed model can be used for SMEs to identify and enhance their weakness in technology protection. Overall, it is expected that the proposed model can be effectively used to protect valuable technologies in various SMEs.
