  • This Paper Propose the control chart Pattern to provide a more comprehensive scheme for detecting process shifts using individual observations in start-up process. In this paper, which uses the backpropagation algorithm two samples are fed into the trained neural network to provide outputs ranging from 0 to 1. The main advantage of using neural networks approach with a control chart is that the neural network has almost no delay in detecting small shift. This paper illustrates how neural networks can provide a useful method for optimizing parameter(connection weights) that affect process control. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed control chart using the neural network (NNCC) is quite promising.

  • Web proxy caching provides an effective way to reduce access latency and bandwidth requirement. In particular, prefix caching is considered as an alternative for improving video delivery over wide area networks because video objects are usually too large to be cached in their entirety. Nevertheless, many studies have pointed that the user-perceived latency is often not dominated by object transmission time, but rather by setup process such as TCP connection time that precedes it. We propose pre-connecting techniques and show that the techniques can be used efficiently in TCP splicing. Our analysis shows the pre-connection significantly reduces start-up latency and TCP connection time in simple analytical model. The deployment of the proposed pre-connection does not require protocol modification or the cooperation of other entities.

  • For commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles, one of the key objectives is to improve durability of MEA and electrocatalysts. Regarding electrocatalysts, the major issue is to reduce carbon corrosion and dissolution of Pt caused by harsh conditions, for example, SU/SD (Start-up/Shut-down). In this research, OER (Oxygen Evolution Reaction) catalyst has been developed improvement of durability. A modified polyol process is developed by controlling the pH of the solvent to synthesize the PtIr nanocatalysts on carbon supports. Each performance of the MEAs applying PtIr and Pt are equivalent because PtIrnanocatalysts have both ORR and OER activity. Breadboard test for catalyst durability in harsh conditions and high potentialsis found that the MEA applying PtIrnanocatalysts durability is improved more than the MEA applying Pt nanocatalysts.

  • A cluster tool used in many kinds of semiconductor processes for improving the performance and the quality of wafers has a simple configuration, but its schedule is not easy because of its parallel processing module, a lack of intermediate buffers, and time constraints. While there have been many studies on its schedule, most of them have focused on full cycles in which identical work cycles are repeated under constant task times. In this research, we suggest strategies of start-up transient scheduling which satisfies time constraints and converges into a desirable steady schedule for full work cycle. The proposed schedules are expected robust under the stationary stochastic task times. Finally, we show that the strategies make schedules enters the desirable steady schedule and robust using the simulation.

  • Recently, the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services have become very common, enabling various Internet-based services as well as watching TV. In the IPTV system, a Set-Top box (STB) plays a key role as a network terminal device that transmits and receives realtime multimedia contents. In addition, the IPTV networks are usually supported by broadband optical fiber-base network such as fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), However, a general IPTV STB is regarded as one of the local area network (LAN)-attached devices while sharing the bandwidth of the LAN (e.g., Ethernet). In order to overcome the limited bandwidth utilization by fully facilitating the broadband bandwidth (e.g., 1 Gbps) of the optical fiber-based network, we propose a new FC (Fiber Channel)-embedded IPTV STB which can be directly attached to the optical fiber network. Then, we verify that the impacts of the proposed FC-embedded IPTV STB by organizing the the FC-AL (Fiber Channel-Arbitration Loop) network equipped with the FC-embedded IPTV We measures the average Start-up Delay, Average Reject Ratio and the Number of Concurrent Users through extensive simulations to investigate the performances of the suggested FC-AL-based IPTV network. Surprisingly, the IPTV network architecture with the proposed FC-embedded IPTV STBs has an excellent average start-up delay of less than 10 msec, an acceptable average reject ratio of less than 3 % as well as a linear increase of the number of concurrent users when extending the architecture. This reveals that the proposed FC embedded STB has a superior impacts on the performance of the entire IPTV network by effectively utilizing the broadband bandwidth of the fiber optic-based network.

  • Based on social capital theory, this study investigated the influence of the start-up founder's social competence on the start-up's access to funding sources and performance through the mediating role of the type of social network. This study aimed to examine two types of social networks empirically (i.e., personal networks and business networks) as social capital in analyzing the effect of the founder's social competence and social capital on the method of accessing funding sources. A self-report questionnaire was administered to 252 South Korean start-up founders whose businesses are based in South Korea. Path analysis and mediation effect analysis were performed by structural equation modeling(SEM) using STATA 16.1. This study examined the full mediating effect of the founder's social competence on his/her personal and business networks, respectively, and how the effect leads to different methods to approach funding sources. This is the first study in South Korea to analyze empirically how social competence has contrasting effects on personal and business networks as well as how each type of network varies in its influence on the method founders use to attract investment. This study is also significant in that it proposed a new methodology by utilizing the position generator as the measure of personal and business networks to analyze social networks in detail. The analyses of 252 survey data collected over a period of six months will be a valuable resource that may provide researchers, founders, investors, and other stakeholders in the start-up ecosystem with meaningful implications.
