Facility-based competition (FBC) in the telecommunications market is considered to have lower static efficiency in the short term and higher dynamic efficiency in the long term. Under service-based competition (SBC), the entrant can reduce its setup costs by leasing network facilities from the incumbent, which makes the entrant viable, pushes the market price down and promotes static efficiency. This paper attempts to measure static efficiency by comparing the profits of the incumbent and entrant in terms of consumer surplus and social welfare under each competition type by extending the Stackelberg model. The results, assuming a linear demand function and variation in regulatory level, show that FBC results in higher social welfare than SBC on the whole. However, SBC accompanied by strong regulation is also shown to have the potential to be superior over FBC. It is also revealed that FBC exhibits a higher producer surplus (particularly, the incumbent's producer surplus) and is, therefore, more desirable in terms of dynamic efficiency. When the entrant's cost is high in FBC, social welfare is shown to be lowered, implying that cost competitiveness is a necessary condition for social welfare.

본 논문에서는 백업 경로 비용을 최소화하여 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 사용하며 복구 성능을 높일 수 있는 MPLS 복구 방안을 제시한다. 기존의 다른 복구 방안과 달리, 제안 복구 방안에서의 복원 시도 절차는 작업 LSP 설정 시 정해진 특정 노드로부터 시작한다. LSP 설정 메시지가 작업 경로를 설정하면서 복구 비용을 산출하고 복구 시작 노드를 정해 준다. 그렇게 함으로써, 복구 속도가 빨라지고 망의 자원 활용도가 높아질 수 있다. 제안 방안을 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 다른 복구 방안 및 보호 방안과 비교하였다. 실험 결과 제안 방안이 비교적 적은 지연과 손실 특성을 가지면서 빠른 복구 성능을 보여줌을 확인하였다.

In aerospace and energy engineering, the reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) temperature distributions is crucial. Traditional methods like algebraic iterative reconstruction and filtered back-projection depend on voxel division for resolution. Our algorithm, blending deep learning with computer graphics rendering, converts 2D projections into light rays for uniform sampling, using a fully connected neural network to depict the 3D temperature field. Although effective in capturing internal details, it demands multiple cameras for varied angle projections, increasing cost and computational needs. We assess the impact of camera number on reconstruction accuracy and efficiency, conducting butane-flame simulations with different camera setups (6 to 18 cameras). The results show improved accuracy with more cameras, with 12 cameras achieving optimal computational efficiency (1.263) and low error rates. Verification experiments with 9, 12, and 15 cameras, using thermocouples, confirm that the 12-camera setup as the best, balancing efficiency and accuracy. This offers a feasible, cost-effective solution for real-world applications like engine testing and environmental monitoring, improving accuracy and resource management in temperature measurement.

저가의 MCU를 사용한 HSMS 구동 시스템은 반도체 설비 온라인 시스템 구축에는 없어서는 안 될 필수적인 기술이다. HSMS는 더 빠른 속도의 통신이 필요하고 장비 하드웨어 구성이 용이한 어플리케이션을 위해 SECS-I 대신에 많이 사용된다. 기존의 SECS와 HSMS 디바이스는 SECS의 전반적인 프로토콜 구현되어 있어서 매우 고가이다. 이 연구에서는 기업에서 필요로 하는 SECS 프로토콜만을 지원하는 HSMS 통신 시스템을 설계하고 구현하고자 한다. 저가이지만 고성능 MCU를 메인 보드로 하여 HSMS 통신을 처리하는 모듈을 설계하고, BCR을 독립적으로 처리 할 수 있는 회로를 초소형 MCU를 이용하여 설계한다. 그리고 BCR로부터 인식된 태그 데이터를 HSMS 통신 프로토콜에 부합하는 데이터로 변환하기 위해 SECS-II 메시지를 설계한다. 이 설계들을 반영한 HSMS 통신 시스템을 개발한다. 개발한 저가의 HSMS 통신 모듈은 반도체 공정에 대한 실시간 감시 및 제어 시스템에 적용될 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to measure the acoustic properties of Tofu and Acorn Curd (Dotori Muk), which are possibly used as tissue mimicking materials (TMMs). Due to its availability and low cost, Tofu was suggested as a TMM by several researchers who measured only sound speed and attenuation. The acoustic properties of Tofu and Muk including the backscattering coefficient were measured in this paper. Sound speed was measured by the time shift in a pulse echo setup. Attenuation coefficients and backscattering coefficients were measured by a broadband method using both 5 MHz and 10 MHz transducers in the frequency domain. The measured acoustic properties of both Tofu and Muk are observed to be similar to those of biological tissues such as beef liver or beef heart.

Ozone is a strong oxidant and a powerful disinfectant. In general, it has been used in drinking water treatment during last 100years. Ozone dissolution features are defined by the two categories of ozone contactors, bubble-diffuser and sidestream ozone contactor. Currently, sidestream-injection systems are gaining in popularity but operating cost might be slightly higher. Sidestream ozone system dissolve ozone into a sidestream flow via an injection setup or in the main process flow stream in some sidestream arrangements. The sidestream flow is subsequently mixed with the main process flow stream, which is directed to a reation tank or pipeline for oxidation and disinfection reactions. The purpose of this study is to suggest optimal operating pressure, to figure out the static-mixer effect and to understand the microbubble characteristics of ozone to improve dissolution efficiency.

Virtual colonoscopy is one of the Powerful tool for non-invasive colon examination and many in-vitro and in-vivo studies have shown its accuracy in Polyp or adenoma detection. But most of virtual colonoscopy requires high quality workstation and software and its cost is high to setup whole system. We developed PC-based 3D model creation and navigation program which has diverse functions. It can be easily installed to PC and connected to network system. The performance. when used as a virtual colonoscopy. is evaluated by calculating sensitivity of detection for the simulated polyp which is artificially made inside the Pig's colon and checked its clinical feasibility, Its total sensitivity is 76%. Grouping according to Polyps diameter, the sensitivity for detection of polyps 10 ㎜ or larger was 100%(40 of 40); 5.0-9.9 ㎜, 90.0(90 of 100): and smaller then 5 ㎜. 36.7%(22 of 60).

This paper focuses on the problem of determining the quantity and timing of disassembling used products while satisfying the demand of their parts or components over a planning horizon. The case of multiple product types with parts commonality is considered for the objective of minimizing the sum of setup, disassembly operation, and inventory holding costs. A heuristic is suggested, in which an initial solution is obtained using a linear programming relaxation method, and then improved by perturbing the given solution using a dynamic programming approach and a look-ahead check while considering the trade-offs among different cost factors.

Monitoring of the cutting force signals in cutting process has been well emphasized in machine tool communities. Although the cutting force can be directly measured by a tool dynamometer, this method is not always feasible because of high cost and limitations in setup. In this paper an indirect cutting force monitoring system is developed so that the cutting force in turning process is estimated based on a AC spindle drive model. This monitoring system considers the cutting force as a disturbance input to the spindle drive and estimates the cutting force based on the inverse dynamic model. The inverse dynamic model represents the dynamic relation between the cutting force, the motor torque and the motor power. The proposed monitoring system is realized on a CNC lathe and its estimation performance is evaluated experimentally.

In this paper, we present a restricted tabu search(RTS) algorithm that schedules jobs on identical parallel machines in order to minimize the maximum lateness of jobs. Jobs have release times and due dates. Also, sequence-dependent setup times exist between jobs. The RTS algorithm consists of two main parts. The first part is the MATCS(Modified Apparent Tardiness Cost with Setups) rule that provides an efficient initial schedule for the RTS. The second part is a search heuristic that employs a restricted neighborhood generation scheme with the elimination of non-efficient job moves in finding the best neighborhood schedule. The search heuristic reduces the tabu search effort greatly while obtaining the final schedules of good quality. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives better solutions quickly than the existing heuristic algorithms such as the RHP(Rolling Horizon Procedure) heuristic, the basic tabu search, and simulated annealing.
