Characteristics of a heater-triggered switch has been analyzed through the simulations and experiments. It was for the charging of Bi-2223 double pancake load with 1.7 mH and two heaters were used. The timing of the sequential control and the heating current with two heaters are important factors to generate pumping-current. The thermal analysis of the switch considering the heater input and time was carried out. Based on the analysis just mentioned. heater-triggered switch was fabricated. Characteristic analysis was carried out through two modes having different sequential timing controls. Maximum pumping-current reached 18 A and the pumping rate was 113 mA/s at that time.

In this paper, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits with an advanced substrate-triggered NMOS and a gate-substrate-triggered NMOS are proposed to provide low trigger voltage, low leakage current, and fast turn-on speed. The proposed ESD protection devices are designed using 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The experimental results show that the proposed substrate-triggered NMOS using a bipolar transistor has a low trigger voltage of 5.98 V and a fast turn-on time of 37 ns. The proposed gate-substrate-triggered NMOS has a lower trigger voltage of 5.35 V and low leakage current of 80 pA.

In this study, the distributed secondary voltage control of islanded microgrids with multi-agent consensus algorithm is investigated. As an alternative to a time-triggered approach, an event-triggered scheme is proposed to reduce the communication load among inverter-based distributed generators (DGs). The proposed aperiodic control scheme reduced unnecessary utilization of limited network bandwidth without degrading control performance. By properly establishing a distributed triggering condition in DG local controller, each inverter is only required to send voltage information when its own event occurs. The compensation of voltage amplitude deviation can be realized, and redundant data exchange related to fixed high sampling rate can be avoided. Therefore, an efficient use of communication infrastructure can be realized, particularly when the system is operating in steady state. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by simulations on a microgrid test system.

The TMO may contain two types of methods, time-triggered methods(also called the spontaneous methods of SpMs) which are clearly separated from the conventional service methods (SvMs). The SpM executions are triggered upon design time whereas the SvM executions are triggered by service request message from clients. In this paper, we describes the application environment as the patient monitor telemedicine system with TMO structure. Vital sign information web viewer systems is also the standard protocol for medical image and transfer. In order to embrace new technologies as telemedicine service, it is important to develope the standard protocol between different systems in the hospital, as well as the communication with external hospital systems. It is able to apply to remote medical examination and treatment. Through the proper data exchange and management of patient vital sign information, real time vital sign information management will offer better workflow to all hospital employee.

For real-time applications, the underlying operating system (0S) should support timeliness guarantees of real-time tasks. However, most of current operating systems do not provide timely management facilities in an efficient way. There could be two approaches to support timely management facilities for real-time applications: (1) by modifying 0S kernel and (2) by Providing a middleware without modifying 0S. In our approach, we adopted the middleware approach based on the TMO (Time-triggerred Message-triggered Object) model which is a well-known real-tine object model. The middleware, named TMSOM (TMO Support Middleware) has been implemented on various OSes such as Linux and Windows XP/NT/98. In this paper, we mainly consider TMOSM implemented on Linux(TMOS/Linux). Although the real-time schedul-ing aIgorithm used in current TMOSM/Linux can produce an efficient real-time schedule, it can be improved for periodic real-time tasks by considering several factors. In this paper, we discuss those factors and propose an improved real-time scheduling algorithm for periodic real-time tasks, In order to simulate the performance of our algorithm, we measure timeliness guarantee rate for periodic real-time tasks. The result shows that the performance of our algorithm is superior to that of existing algorithm. Additionally, the proposed algorithm can improve system performance by making the structure of real-time middleware simpler.

Recently, the importance of velocity, one of the characteristics of big data (5V: Volume, Variety, Velocity, Veracity, and Value), has been emphasized in the data processing, which has led to several studies on the real-time stream processing, a technology for quick and accurate processing and analyses of big data. In this paper, we propose a Squall framework using Time-triggered Message-triggered Object (TMO) technology, a model that is widely used for processing real-time big data. Moreover, we provide a description of Squall framework and its operations under a single node. TMO is an object model that supports the non-regular real-time processing method for certain conditions as well as regular periodic processing for certain amount of time. A Squall framework can support the real-time event stream of big data and micro-batch processing with outstanding performances, as compared to Apache storm and Spark Streaming. However, additional development for processing real-time stream under multiple nodes that is common under most frameworks is needed. In conclusion, the advantages of a TMO model can overcome the drawbacks of Apache storm or Spark Streaming in the processing of real-time big data. The TMO model has potential as a useful model in real-time big data processing.

Real-time(RT) object-oriented(OO) distributed computing is a form of RT distributed computing realized with a distributed computer system structured in the form of an object network. Several approached proposed in recent years for extending the conventional object structuring scheme to suit RT applications, are briefly reviewed. Then the approach named the Real Time Simulation Programing(RTSP) structuring scheme was formulated with the goal of instigating a quantum productivity jump in the design of distributed time triggered simulation. The RTSP scheme is intended to facilitate the pursuit of a new paradigm in designing distributed time triggered simulation which is to realize real-time computing with a common and general design style that does not alienate the main-stream computing industry and yet to allow system engineers to confidently produce certifiable distributed time triggered simulation for safety-critical applications. The RTSP structuring scheme is a syntactically simple but semantically Powerful extension of the conventional object structuring approached and as such, its support tools can be based on various well-established OO programming languages such as C+ + and on ubiquitous commercial RT operating system kernels. The Scheme enables a great reduction of the designers efforts in guaranteeing timely service capabilities of application systems.

The object-oriented (OO) distributed real-time (RT) programming movement started in 1990´s and is growing rapidly at this turn of the century. Distributed real-time simulation is a field in its infancy but it is bounded to receive steadily growing recognition for its importance and wide applicability. The scheme is called the distributed time-triggered simulation scheme which is conceptually simple and easy to use but widely applicable. A new generation object oriented (OO) RT programming scheme is called the time-triggered message triggered object(TMO) programming scheme and it is used to make specific illustrations of the issues. The TMO structuring scheme is a general-style components structuring scheme and supports design of all types of component including hard real time objects and non real time objects within one general structure.

분산 환경에서의 효과적인 통신 방법인 멀티캐스트 프로토콜이 그동안 많이 연구되었다. 하지만 인터넷 기반 네트워크의 급속한 발달로 실시간 데이터를 요구하는 환경으로 변화함에 따라 실시간 멀티캐스트 프로토콜의 필요성이 대두되었다. 실시간 프로토콜 중 하나인 RFRM(Release-time based Fault-tolerant Real-time Multicast protocol)은 메시지의 신뢰성을 보장하고 뷰의 일관성을 유지하며 고장을 감내한다는 장점이 있지만 한 개의 그룹만을 지원한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실시간 멀티캐스트 프로토콜인 RFRM을 확장하여 멀티그룹을 지원하는 뷰 관리기능을 추가하였고, 그 성능을 분석하기 위하여 Erlang/OTP를 사용하여 구현된 결과를 TMO(Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) 모델을 사용한 실시간 시뮬레이션의 결과와 기존의 RFRM의 그룹 연산 성능과 비교하였다.

In this paper, we construct the TMO-based object group model on distributed environment, and analyze and evaluate the executability for distributed real-time service of our object group model by developing the distributed real-time application simulator applying the model. The Time-triggered Message-triggered Object(TMO) is a real-time server object having real-time property itself. The TMO-based object group is defined as a set of objects which logically reconfigured the physically distributed one or more TMOs on network by a given distributed application. For supporting group management of the server objects, the TMO-based object group we suggested provides the functions which register and withdraw the solver objects as a group member to an arbitrary object group, and also provides the functions which insert and delete the access rights of server objects from clients. Also, our model was designed and implemented to support the appropriate object selection and dynamic binding service for a single TMO as well as the duplicated TMOs, and to support the real-time scheduling service for the clients which are requesting the service. Finally, we developed the Defence System against Invading Enemy Planes(DSIEP) simulator as a practical example of distributed real-time application by applying our model, and evaluated the adaptability of distributed service strategies for the group components and the executability of real-time services that the TMO-based object group model provides.
