Abstract: Disclosed is a method for predicting the cooling load for efficient operation of a heat accumulation system by obtaining a prediction function regarding outdoor air temperature and specific humidity from meteorological office data, predicting the outdoor air temperature and specific humidity by using the prediction function and the highest and lowest temperatures of the weather forecast, and predicting the cooling load based on the sensible heat load coefficient, outdoor air coefficient, sensible heat load constant, and latent heat load constant, which are obtained from the building design data. The cooling load can be predicted without using a complicated mathematical model and with no reference to past operation data regarding the target building, but solely based on four air-conditioning design values of the building and the highest and lowest temperatures of the next day, which can be easily obtained from the weather forecast of the meteorological office.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of measuring the radiation characteristic of an antenna, where sufficient power is secured within a short period of time and supplied in a stable manner so as to always keep the intensity of measurement signals high irrespective of the measurement frequency. With the antenna radiation measurement method, upon receipt of measurement frequency signals, location information and measured values are processed to transmit measurement signals, and a charging high frequency of several hundred megahertz (MHz) to several hundred gigahertz (GHz) is scanned toward a tester body such that inductive power is generated to allow the self-charging. The measurement frequency signals are transmitted toward the tester body through a source antenna, and the measured signals transmitted from the measurement antennas of the respective measurement modules are received and data-processed at a measurement controller.

Abstract: The present invention periodically monitors the amount of packets flowing into a packet inspection apparatus, i.e., a load level, and compares the load level with a predetermined upper or lower limit value. Accordingly, the present invention blocks some of the packets or passes along some of the packets through the packet inspection apparatus when the load level exceeds a certain level, and thus the load controlling method and apparatus guarantees continuous operation of the packet inspection apparatus even in an overloaded state. In addition, the load controlling method and apparatus according to the present invention effectively selects packets to be blocked or passed without departing from the original functions of the packet inspection apparatus. The load controlling method and apparatus is configured simply so as not to additionally induce a load in the process of selection, and the load controlling apparatus selectively operates only in an overloaded state.
