In this paper, fault tolerant mechanisms are presented for a servo manipulator system designed to operate in a hot cell. A hot cell is a sealed and shielded room to handle radioactive materials, and it is dangerous for people to work in the hot cell. So, remote operations are necessary to handle the radioactive materials in the hot cell. KAERI has developed a servo manipulator system to perform such remote operations. However, since electric components such as servo motors may fail by radiation, fault tolerant mechanisms have to be considered. For fault tolerance of the servo manipulator system, duplication mechanism increasing the reliability of the transport's driving motors and reconfiguration algorithm accommodating the slave's motor failure have been presented. The reconfiguration algorithm recovering the end effector's motion in spite of one motor's failure is based on control allocation redistributing redundant axes. The constrained optimization method and pseudo inverse method have been adopted for control allocation. Simulation examples and real test results have been presented to verify the Proposed methods.

본 논문에서는 유한체상의 여분 기저(redundant basis)를 사용한 모듈러 AB² 곱셈을 수행하는 멀티플렉서(multiplexer) 기반의 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 기법을 사용하여 효율적인 멀티플렉서 기반의 세미-시스톨릭(semi-systolic) AB² 곱셈기를 제안한다. 모듈러 AB² 곱셈기의 셀 내부의 연산을 멀티플렉서로 처리할 수 있는 수식을 유도한다. 멀티플렉서를 이용하여 셀을 구현하여, 셀의 지연시간을 감소시킨다. 기존의 구조들과 비교하면, 제안한 AB² 곱셈기는 Liu 등, Lee 등, Ting 등, 및 Kim-Kim의 곱셈기들의 AT 복잡도보다 약 80.9%, 61.8%, 61.8%, 및 9.5% 가량이 감소되었다. 따라서, 제안한 곱셈기는 VLSI(very large scale integration) 구현에 적합하며 다양한 응용에 쉽게 적용할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a new fault-tolerant technique for bitonic sorting networks which can be used for designing ATM switches based on Batcher-Banyan network. The main goal in this paper is to design a cost-effective fault-tolerant bitonic sorting network. In order to recover a fault, additional comparison elements and additional links are used. A Dynamic Redundant Bitonic Sorting (DRBS) network is based on the Dynamic Redundant network and can be constructed with several different variations. The proposed fault-tolerant sorting network offers high fault-tolerance; low time delays; maintenance of cell sequence; simple routing; and regularity and modularity.

A role of Src family protein Tyrosine kinases (SFK) as mediators of receptor-ligand initiated responses is well established. Well documented, but less well understood is the role of SFK in cellular reaction to stresses. Evidence from the wide variety of experimental systems indicates that SFK mediate responses to all major classes of stress, including oxidation, DNA damage, mechanical impacts, and protein denaturing. SFK may be activated by stresses directly or via regulatory circuits whose identity is not yet fully understood. Depending on the cell type and the nature of activating stimulus, SFK may activate known downstream signaling cascades leading to cell survival, proliferation, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and apoptosis; the identity of these cascades is discussed. As in the case of receptor-initiated signaling, roles of individual SFK in various stress response may be redundant or non-redundant. Although signals generated by different stresses are generally transduced via distinct SFK pathways, these pathways may overlap or exhibit crosstalk. In some cell types stress-induced activation of SFK promotes survival and inhibits apoptosis, whereas the opposite may be true for other cell types. Stress responses constitute a new and rapidly developing area of SFK-mediated signaling.

이동 사용자에게 지속적인 서비스품질 보장을 제공하기 위해서는 일반적으로 사용자 방문할 것으로 예상되는 지역에 사전에 중복적으로 자원을 예약하는 방안을 사용한다. 이와 같은 방식에서 관건이 되는 문제는 중복적 자원 예약에 의한 자원 낭비를 줄이면서도 서비스품질 보장의 연속성을 유지하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 지리적으로 인접한 두 개의 무선 네트워크 도메인 사이에 두 도메인에 모두 속하는 그레이 셀을 두는 무선 네트워크 구조를 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 무선 네트워크에서의 중복적인 자원 예약을 완전히 제거하면서도 도메인 간 이동으로 인한 일시적 자원 예약 단절을 크게 줄일 수 있는 방안을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 방안은 도메인 간 이동이 발생하는 경우에도 도메인 내에서 이동 할 때와 유사한 성능을 보이며, 예약 단절 시간이나 패킷 손실율면에서 기존의 방법보다 훨씬 나은 성능을 제공함을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper, the analytical appproaches are presented for jointly determining the profit-miximizing configuration of the fault-tolerance real time modular cell manufacturing system. The transient(time-dependent) analysis of Markovian models is firstly applied to modular cell manufacturing system from a performability viewpoint whose modeling advantage lies in its ability to express the performance that truly matters - the user's perception of it - as well as various performance measures compositely in the context of application. The modular cells are modeled with hybrid decomposition method and then availability measures such as instantaneous availability, interval availability, expected cumulative operational time are evaluated as special cases of performability. In addition to this evaluation, sensitivity analysis of the entire manufacturing system as well as each machining cell is performed, from which the time of a major repair policy and the optimal configuration among the alternative configurations of the system can be determined. Secondly, the recovery policies from the machine failures by computing the minimal number of redundant machines and also from the task failures by computing the minimum number of tasks equipped with detection schemes of task failure and reworked upon failure detection, to meet the timing requirements are optimized. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the work.

In this study, the simultaneous use of a multi-level converter (MLC) as a DC-motor drive and as an active battery cell balancer is investigated. MLCs allow each battery cell in a battery pack to be independently switched on and off, thereby enabling the potential non-uniform use of battery cells. By exploiting this property and the brake regeneration phases in the drive cycle, MLCs can balance both the state of charge (SoC) and temperature differences between cells, which are two known causes of battery wear, even without reciprocating the coolant flow inside the pack. The optimal control policy (OP) that considers both battery pack temperature and SoC dynamics is studied in detail based on the assumption that information on the state of each cell, the schedule of reciprocating air flow and the future driving profile are perfectly known. Results show that OP provides significant reductions in temperature and in SoC deviations compared with the uniform use of all cells even with uni-directional coolant flow. Thus, reciprocating coolant flow is a redundant function for a MLC-based cell balancer. A specific contribution of this paper is the derivation of a state-space electro-thermal model of a battery submodule for both uni-directional and reciprocating coolant flows under the switching action of MLC, resulting in OP being derived by the solution of a convex optimization problem.

현재 유비쿼터스 센서 네트웍(USN: Ubiquitous Sensor Networks)의 노드를 배치하는 방식은 위치 적정성의 관점에서 많은 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 가시권 분석, 셀중심에 대한 인접성, 도로 밀도, 건물밀도, 셀중첩 비율을 GIS 데이터베이스로 구축하고 공간변수별 가중치에 의거하여 USN루트 노드 설치를 최소화하는 방안을 제시하였다. 기존의 전형적인 격자형 방식에 의거한 USN에서 24개의 루트노드가 필요하였지만 공간가중치에 의한 분석방법은 11개의 노드만으로 네트웍의 구성이 가능하였다. 11개의 노드만으로 구성된 USN에서 신호강도(RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator)는 다양한 지점에서 급격한 변동을 보이지 않고 노드의 연결성에 대한 성능평가 기준을 충족하였다. 공간가중치를 반영한 노드의 배치는 USN노드 배치에서 격자형방식이나 무작위로 설치하는 관행을 개선될 수 있는 계기가 되어 USN의 운영과정에서 신호강도를 확보할 수 있는 중요한 참고자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
