Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus in which an Automatic Identification System (AIS) accesses a radio channel. The present invention includes selecting a slot on which a packet is to be transmitted on at least one radio channel, temporarily sending a first carrier, notifying other AISs that the selected slot has been selected by the AIS, on the selected slot in transmission mode, and after temporarily sending the first carrier, detecting a second carrier transmitted by another device on the selected slot in reception mode. In accordance with the present invention, the AIS temporarily sends a first carrier, notifying other AISs that a selected slot has been selected by the AIS, on the selected slot prior to the detection of a second carrier, and another AIS accessing the same slot detects the first carrier temporarily transmitted. Accordingly, a collision between channels can be avoided.
Abstract:
An apparatus for monitoring a fault of a pipe according to an aspect of the present invention includes a processor, and a memory configured to store instructions executed by the processor, wherein the processor generates an ultrasonic guided signal in a pipe through piezoelectric transducers disposed on a circumferential outer surface of the pipe which is a target of which a fault is to be monitored, and monitors a fault of the pipe through signal processing for performing correlation analysis and noise removal on a reflected signal generated by the ultrasonic guided signal being reflected at an arbitrary point of the pipe.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for surge prevention for a centrifugal compressor. An apparatus for surge prevention for a buffering vessel based centrifugal compressor according to the present invention includes a recycle pipe which connects a suction portion to a discharge portion of the centrifugal compressor, a cooler which cools compressed gas received according to an opening of a recycle valve disposed at the recycle pipe, a buffering vessel which stores the gas cooled by the cooler, and a compressor control unit which determines a surge occurrence condition to control opening and closing of the recycle valve and a buffer valve which is disposed at a rear stage of the buffering vessel.
