  • The diagnosis of abnormalities in a nuclear power plant is essential to maintain power plant safety. When an abnormal event occurs, the operator diagnoses the event and selects the appropriate abnormal operating procedures and sub-procedures to implement the necessary measures. To support this, abnormality diagnosis systems using data-driven methods such as artificial neural networks and convolutional neural networks have been developed. However, data-driven models cannot always guarantee an accurate diagnosis because they cannot simulate all possible abnormal events. Therefore, abnormality diagnosis systems should be able to detect their own potential misdiagnosis. This paper proposes a rulebased diagnostic validation algorithm using a previously developed two-stage diagnosis model in abnormal situations. We analyzed the diagnostic results of the sub-procedure stage when the first diagnostic results were inaccurate and derived a rule to filter the inconsistent sub-procedure diagnostic results, which may be inaccurate diagnoses. In a case study, two abnormality diagnosis models were built using gated recurrent units and long short-term memory cells, and consistency checks on the diagnostic results from both models were performed to detect any inconsistencies. Based on this, a re-diagnosis was performed to select the label of the second-best value in the first diagnosis, after which the diagnosis accuracy increased. That is, the model proposed in this study made it possible to detect diagnostic failures by the developed consistency check of the sub-procedure diagnostic results. The consistency check process has the advantage that the operator can review the results and increase the diagnosis success rate by performing additional re-diagnoses. The developed model is expected to have increased applicability as an operator support system in terms of selecting the appropriate AOPs and sub-procedures with re-diagnosis, thereby further increasing abnormal event diagnostic accuracy.

  • This paper describes the design and implementation of the fault diagnosis on the Electronic Throttle Control(ETC) System. The proposed fault diagnosis consists of an input signal, actuator and a processor diagnosis. The input signal diagnosis can detect the faults of the ETC system's input signals such as the position sensor fault, source voltage fault, load current fault, and desired position fault. The actuator diagnosis is able to detect the actuator fault due to the actuator aging and an obstacle which interfere in the movement of the actuator. The processor diagnosis detects the fault which prevents the microprocessor from operating the ETC software. In order to protect the breakdown of the ETC system and assure the driving safety, appropriate reactions are also proposed according to the detected faults. The safety and reliability of the ETC system can be improved by the proposed fault diagnosis.

  • This study was written in order to help understanding of visible diagnosis of spirit(神). Visible diagnosis of spirit(神) is a very important factor of diagnosis and a first step of visible diagnosis. Spirit(神) is closely connection with appearance(形), so is revealed by appearance(형). If we make a visible diagnosis of spirit(神), we know the prosperousness of energy and the relative seriousness of an illness. Spirit(神) is understood by appearances and movements of patient, and influenced by seasons, lands, human's relationship and the grade of age. Visible diagnosis of spirit(神) is practiced by the observation of movements, appearances, languages, voices, mental condition, color, eye, etc. By visible diagnosis of spirit(神), we can conclude existence or nonexistence of spirit(神), discriminate true spirit(神) from false spirit(神), and diagnose mental diseases. As comparing spirit(神) with appearance(形), we can decide good or bad prognoses.

  • The preventive diagnosis technique for power system is being highlighted as a research area for deterioration of insulation in machinery because of high-voltage power system. We make efforts to develop not only diagnosis of aging state but also detection of defects in the initial stage from preventive diagnosis technique. Especially, partial discharge is actively studied as a non-destructive diagnosis technique and very useful because partial discharge measurement reduces damage than conventional diagnosis technique. The loaded stress during this test is smaller than that of other diagnosis techniques. But the continuous research for various complicated analysis method is required because partial discharge has very small signals and its signals have complex forms. In this paper, the measurement of partial discharge was investigated and studied on many specimens with void. We made samples having artificial voids and measured partial discharge. In order to use as a practical diagnosis technique, we studied ways of measurement, measured illustrations and types of partial discharge which could be used in order to diagnose defects of power machinery.

  • Ability diagnosis is similar to medical diagnosis from a number of perspectives. However, a medical diagnosis is carried out by a direct observation through medical apparatuses, while an ability diagnosis is made by an indirect observation in the from of testing. In this respect, ability diagnosis is more difficult than medical diagnosis. Confined to middle school 1st year Mathematics, we collected survey data in 1996 from monthly tests. The data consist of student responses to diagnosis results on their abilities and of the effects of catch-up guidances for individual students which are provided based on their ability diagnosis outcomes. We analyzed the data and summarized the result in the paper. One of the main results is that the ability diagnosis as used in the paper has a very positive effect on catch-up study. But it is important to note that the effects vary across the ability groups, the effect appearing weaker in the lower ability group than in the higher ability group. This calls our attention to the need that the ability diagnosis and guidance for the catch-up study be differentiated among ability groups.

  • Objectives we intended to know how much did it relate with the results between the instruments of diagnosis by using methods of three factors - QSCCII, PSSC(Phonetic System for Sasang Constitution)-2004, and body measurement which are usually used in diagnosing the Sasang Constitution in clinics Methods We diagnosed Sasang constitution through QSCCII, PSSC(Phonetic System for Sasang Constitution)-2004, Body measurement as a dignosis factors and we used Kappa coefficient to estimate simularity between diagnosis factors, and SPSS 12.0K to analyze data Results and conchusions 1. The orders of agreement statistics are different in the currency of Sasang Constitution diagnosis, Soeum-in was highest and Taeum-in lowest in the the fricency of Sasang Conctitution Diagnosis in the QSCCII, Soeum-in was highest Soyang-in lowest in the PSSC and Taeum-in highest, Soyang-in lowest in the body measurement so, we analogized incorrection in Sasang Constitution Diagnosis 2. Among 443 subjects, 156 (35.3%) had same dignosis in three Sasang Constitution factors. It means agreement statistics among factors of diagnosis are very low, so it is absolutely nessessary to research connection among those, especially Soyang-in part 3. Totally, it is not robust to apply these factors on Sasang Constitution diagnosis, especially agreement statistics between two kinds of Sasang Constitution diagnosis as $0.358{\sim}0.380$. However, we can have a possibility the more we use Sasang Constitution dignosis factors, the higher the agreement statistics is, through the ascending of agreement statistics as $0.526{\sim}0.592$, among three kinds of Sasang Constitution diagnosis To evaluate accuracy of Sasang Constitution diagnosis, it is nessessary to collect data from the subjects who are dignosed through the evidences such as herb medicine, disease and normal symption observation, etc. Using these data, we have to evaluate correction of seperated Sasang Constitution diagnosis methods and to connect those.

  • Due to the development of smartphone technology, as of 2020, 91.9% of people use the Internet[1] to frequently acquire information through websites and mobile apps. As the number of homepages in charge of providing information is increasing every year, the number of applications for web vulnerability diagnosis, which diagnoses the safety of homepages, is also increasing. In the existing web vulnerability check, the number of diagnostic personnel should increase in proportion to the number of homepages that need diagnosis because the diagnosticians manually test the homepages for vulnerabilities. In reality, however, there is a limit to securing a web vulnerability diagnosis manpower, and if the number of diagnosis manpower is increased, a lot of costs are incurred. To solve these problems, an automatic diagnosis tool is used to replace a part of the manual diagnosis. This paper explores a new method to expand the current automatic diagnosis range. In other words, automatic diagnosis possible items were derived by analyzing the impact of web vulnerability diagnosis items. Furthermore, automatic diagnosis identified possible items through comparative analysis of diagnosis results by performing manual and automatic diagnosis on the website in operation. In addition, it is possible to replace manual diagnosis for possible items, but not all vulnerability items, through the improvement of automatic diagnosis tools. This paper will explore some suggestions that can help improve plans to support and implement automatic diagnosis. Through this, it will be possible to contribute to the creation of a safe website operating environment by focusing on the parts that require precise diagnosis.
