In this paper, the miniaturization of aperture-coupled RHCP patch antenna for the GPS system is treated. Circularly polarization characteristics is implemented by truncating diagonal corners of the square patch. Antenna size is reduced by inserting four uniform slits at the patch edges, which was equivalently lengthened the surface current by meandering it, This antenna uses aperture-coupled feeding structure with crossed-slot shape in order to give easy miniaturization of RHCP patch antenna. Simulated and measured results show that $42.7\%$ lower antenna size is obtained, and also $56\%$ lower -10dB bandwidth and $38.5\%$ lower 3dB AR bandwidth are obtained. when the proposed design scheme is applied to a commercial GPS antenna structure, $42.9\%$ lower patch size and $56\%$ lower 3dB AR bandwidth compared to commercial antenna at the same frequency are obtained.

본 연구의 목적은 청계천 복원에 따라 새로이 설계된 하도의 치수안정성을 수리모형실험을 통해 검증하는 것이다. 실험 모형은 태평로 입구로부터 신답철교까지 청계천 복원 5.8km 전구간을 대상으로 평면 1/100, 면적 1/40의 축척으로 제작하였으며, 실험은 치수안정성 검토 및 대안 제시와 홍수시 하도와 벼수구의 유량 분배 효과의 검토에 중점을 두어 실시되었다. 치수 안정성 검토를 위해 청계천 복원으로 인한 홍수시 수위 및 유속변화 등의 흐름변화를 파악하였으며 홍수량 소통 가능 여부와 구조를 영향에 회한 월류 문제 등을 파악하여 대안을 제시하였다. 실험 결과 200년 빈도 홍수시에 본류와 개구부에 관로 미설치시 본류는 제법 여유고가 확보되나 좌${\cdot}$우안 관로의 경우 전체구간에서 만관이 발생하며, 토구의 흐름 지체 및 역류현상이 나타났다. 이는 체내지에 침수의 해를 줄 것으로 예상되므로 안정성 확보를 위해서는 개구부 및 비상 개구부를 추가로 설치하여 관로 만관에 따른 침수피해를 예방해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of the optimization of the installation of supply/exhaust ports for tunnels with transverse ventilation system is to supply fresh air from outside to inside of tunnels uniformly and exhaust pollutant from tunnels properly for creating safe and clean environment for tunnel users. For this purpose, a ventilation port area optimization program was developed to obtain a uniform supply or exhaust air volume inside a great depth double deck tunnel with transverse ventilation system. In order to area optimize the developed port sizing program, the wind velocity was measured in the duct of the currently operated tunnel with semi-transverse ventilation. Also 3D cfd was performed on the same tunnel and cfd results were compared to the measured value. As a result, the error rate between the predicted value from the program and measured value was 6.72%, while the error rate between the predicted value from the program and 3D cfd analysis value was 4.86%. Both of comparison results show less than 10% of error rate. Thus It is expected that supply/exhaust port optimization design of transverse ventilation tunnel can be possible with using this large exhaust port area optimization program.

Recently, for more demands of the economical benefits and environmental conservation, many engineers prefer to choose remodeling. Artificial openings are often unavoidable to make house wider, which will degrade wall strength and stiffness by losing effective wall section that may cause the weakening of system capacity. In these cases the damaged shear walls need to be retrofitted by additional materials or members. In this research, four specimens were tested to investigate the capacity of the damaged wall and the retrofitted wall. The artificially damaged wall was prestressed by tendons to improve the shear capacity of the wall, and the other walls were retrofitted by adding steel plate at the surface for the same purpose. Consequently, these retrofitted walls had improved capacity and stiffness in both shear and flexure. Especially, the wall with steel plate showed ductile behavior after ultimate load and the prestressed wall had greater stiffness than the unstrengthened prototype wall.

We proposed the new pixel compensation circuit with high aperture ratio and the driving method for the large-area, low-power AMOLED applications in this study. We designed with the low-temperature poly-silicon(LTPS) thin film transistors(TFTs) that has poor uniformity but good mobility and stability. To lower the error rate of the pixel circuit and to improve the aperture ratio for bottom emission method, we simplified the pixel compensation circuit. Because the proposed pixel compensation circuit with high aperture ratio has very low contrast ratio for conventional driving methods, we proposed the new driving method and circuit for high contrast ratio. Black data insertion was introduced to improve the characteristics for moving images. The pixel circuit was designed for 19.6" WXGA bottom-emission AMOLED panel, and the average aperture ratio of the pixel circuit is improved from 33.0% to 41.9%. For the TFT's $V_{TH}$ variation of ${\pm}0.2\;V$, the non-uniformity and contrast ratio of the designed panel was estimated under 6% and over 100000:1 respectively.

In this study, capability of an air slot in a siphon spillway for controlling outflow discharge is investigated through hydraulic experiments. Arc and rectangular shapes of air slot are considered and the open area of air slot can be varied. Complex air-regulated flow occurs inside of the siphon spillway when the air slot is installed on it. The same discharge is measured at the same water level inside the reservoir when the water level rises or falls. Nondimensional discharge through the siphon spillway decreases as nondimensional open area of the air slot increases when head differences and water levels of reservoir are constant. The hydraulic experiments show that the control of outflow discharge of siphon spillway is possible by controlling the open area of the air slot.

In this article, we propose a near field microwave scanning probe structure in which two short conducting rods are attached to the center of the ridged(H-type) aperture, thereby reducing significantly the beam spot area while maintaining the high transmission efficiency through the output coupling H-type(ridged) aperture. Here the two short parallel conducting rods seem to play an important role of concentrating the transmitted electromagnetic energy through the H-type aperture and so reducing the beam area for high resolution. For validation of the proposed theory, the near field waveguide probe is fabricated according to the simulated results and its return loss characteristics versus frequencies are measured. The comparison between theory and experiment is seen to be in good agreements.

The nature of fluctuating air pressure inside building was studied by testing a building model in a wind tunnel. The model has a single room and a window opening. Various opening conditions were tested in both laminar uniform wind and turbulent boundary-layer wind. The RMS and the spectra of the fluctuating internal pressure were measured. The test results support a recent theory which predicts the behavior of internal pressure under high wind based on aerodynamic analysis.
