The aim of this paper is to present some issues to be discussed in relation to failure rate of a system that has identical parallel units. It is assumed that Time-to-Failure of each unit has the same exponential distribution and all units are repairable with a periodic maintenance of time interval T. Effective failure rate is widely recommended for nonrepairable systems as the reciprocal of MTTF but it should not be applied for repairable systems if delayed maintenance is used. And equivalent failure rate of an imaginary system is taken into consideration, the reliability value of which is the same as that of the redundant system when time interval T is given. With a numerical example, failure rate, effective failure rate, and equivalent failure rate of the redundant system are analyzed comparatively.

Programmable electronic interlocking system plays key role in railway operation and is closely related to railway accidents, in which the programmable electronic controller of interlocking system may become sources. Redundant digital controllers are adopted as the interlocking controllers to prevent the accidents from the controllers being out of order. The redundant digital controllers being fault tolerant are realized through dual or triplex controllers. In this paper, we calculated safety and availability of the redundant digital controllers using Markov models, demonstrated key part to determine the availability ana the safety.

In this paper, we consider confidence limits for steady state availability of a redundant structure with the function of switchover processing. The system considered in this paper consists of three units which are an active unit, a standby unit and a switchover device. A control module does not affect the performance of the system while the active unit is operating but causes the system failure if the active unit fails at the failure of the control module. The effect of failure of control module is included in our reliability model of the simple redundant structure. The availability of the system is obtained by using the state space method. An example is given to illustrate our results.

Global carry propagation이 없는 redundant signed number에 의한 CORDIC 회로를 제안하였다. 이 number format은 Booth recording과 유사한 새로운 receding scheme을 가지고 가감산에서 carry 전파의 문제를 효과적으로 해결하였다. 여기서는 상수 scale factor를 갖고 삼각함수 계산을 하는 pipeline구조를 채택하였다. 이 CORDIC 회로의 동작시간은 채택한 operand bit에 상관없이 일정하다.

Thrusters are important actuators where air is rare. Since the maintenance or replacement of thrusters is not easy in such an environment, a thrusting system must be highly reliable. Redundant thrusters are used to meet the reliability requirement. In this paper, a reconfiguration problem for those redundant thrusters is discussed, especially the management or distribution logic of redundant thrusters is focused on. The logic has to be changed if faults occur at thrusters. Reconfiguration is to change the distribution logic to accommodate thrusters' faults. The authors propose a reconfiguration algorithm based on the linear programming method. The authors define the reconfiguration problem as an optimization problem. The performance index is a quantity related with total fuel consumption by thrusters. This algorithm can accommodate multiple faults. Numerical examples are given to show the advantage of the proposed algorithm over existing methods.

This paper presents a new concept of a reconfigurable manipulator system which adjusts its mechanical structure to suit the kinematic characteristics of a given task. A highly redundant manipulator designed as a general purpose manipulator needs to be reconfigured for a specific task. A general task can be decomposed of motion and force components with different control requirements: either gross motion control or fine motion control. Each of these task components are distributed to each part of the manipulator based on the control requirements and the structure of the manipulator. Through the reconfiguration, a redundant manipulator is decomposed into two local arms, and the kinematic characteristics of each local arm is adjusted to suit the assigned task. The reconfigured redundant manipulator has two local arms well-configured for the local tasks and cooperating in serial for a given task. This globally enhances the performance of a redundant manipulator to execute a specific task. The simulation results are shown.

In the adder design, reduction of the delay of the carry propagation or ripple is the most important consideration. Previously, it was introduced that, if a redundant number system is adopted, the carry propagation is completely eliminated, with which addition can be done in a constant time, without regarding to the count of the digits of numbers involved in addition. In this paper, a RBCD(Redundant Binary Coded Decimal) is adopted to code 0 to 11, and an efficient and economic carry-free BCD adder is designed.

A multiple controller structure consisting of a typical feedback controller and an additive redundant controller is proposed for enhancing the reliability of the control system. For the case where the main controller is chosen as a pole assignment controller with input/output measurements and the redundant controller as the Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) whose reference model is the closed-loop combination of the plant and the main controller, it is proven that the tracking error between the command input and plant output converges to zero under failure in one of the controllers or parameter perturbations of the plant, and further that the reliability measured by Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) is greater than that of the system with only a single main controller. A simulation Example is provided to illustrate reliable operation of the proposed control system against the controller failure.

This paper presents the analysis on the manipulability of a wheeled mobile manipulator which consists of a wheeled mobile platform and a manipulator atop. It is assumed that the mobile platform is a deficient system and the manipulator is a nonredundant system, but the mobile manipulators as a whole is a redundant system. First Yoshikawa´s definition of the manipulability ellipsoid for a redundant/nonredundant system is extended to a deficient system. Second, the effects of the nonholonomic constraint of the mobile platform and the location the mobile platform and the manipulator is analyzed.

정보검색 엔진이 제공하는 홈페이지의 분류체계는 사용자보다는 시스템을 고려하여 구성되기 쉽다. 본 연구는 대표적인 검색엔진들을 중심으로 분류체계에서 대분류 및 중분류에 대한 사용자들의 심성 모형을 조사하고, 이를 바탕으로 중복 분류체계와 단선 분류체계를 구성하였다. 중복 분류체계에서는 한 하위 분류 명이 여러 상위 분류에 소속될수 있으며, 단선 분류체계에서는 그렇지 않다. 심마니 분류체계를 포함시켜, 세 분류체계를 디자인한 다음 검색 문제를 제시하여 이에 대한 분류 검색 수행을 2차에 걸쳐 관찰하였다. 정답 빈도. 검색에 소요된 단계수 및 경과한 시간 등의 자료를 종합적으로 볼 때, 중복 분류체계에서의 수행이 다른 두 조건보다 좋았다. 이는 적절한 분류체계에서 분류 검색이 향상될 수 있음을 시사한다. 그러나, 분류체계에 대한 재인 검사 점수는 단선 분류체계에서 가장 좋았다. 이는 분류 검색 수행과 분류체계의 재인 기억이 분류체계의 학습에서 상이한 측면을 반영할 것임을 시사한다. 끝으로 분류의 조직화, 인터페이스 방식, 사전지식, 탐색학습 및 응용 영역에 대한 논의가 있었다.
