The smaller diameter cone penetrometer has been widely used to estimate the characteristics of local area due to high vertical resolution. The half-bridge cirucits have been adopted to measure the mechnical strength of soil through the smaller diameter cone penetrometer due to the limitation of the areas for configuring the full-bridge circuit. The half-bridge circuit, however, is known as being easily affected to the temperature variation. The objective of this study suggests the temperature-compensated method in mini-cones. The diameter and length of the mini-cone is designed to 15mm and 56mm. The load cell of the mini-cone is extended about 54mm on the behind of the mini-cone to reflect the only temperature variation. The full-bridge circuit is installed to measure the temperature-compensated values in the mini-cone and the half-bridge circuit is also organized to compare the temperature compensated values with uncompensated values. The seasonal variation tests are performed to define the effect of temperature variation under summer and winter temperature condition. The densification tests are also carried out to investigate temperature effects during penetration. The measured mechanical resistances with temperature-compensated method show more reliable and reasonable values than those measured by thermal uncompensated system. This study suggests that the temperature-compensated method of the mini-cone may be a useful technique to obtain the more reliable resistances with minimizing the temperature effect.

국내기술로 개발된 고기동 위성이 해상도 70cm급 광학카메라를 탑재하고 태양동기궤도를 따라 지구 주위를 하루에 14바퀴이상 돌면서 임무를 수행한다. 높은 해상도의 영상을 얻기 위해 자세제어계에서는 고성능 별추적기와 자이로를 사용하는 정밀자세결정 로직과 반작용 휠을 사용하는 자세제어 로직을 운용한다. 자세제어계에서는, 발사환경 및 우주환경의 영향으로 인한 자이로의 오정렬, SF오차, 별추적기 상호간 오정렬에 대한 상대보정과 탑재컴퓨터에서 결정한 궤도 및 자세정보와 영상 기준점 정보를 이용하여 절대보정을 수행한다. 한편, 탑재 알고리즘에서는 강건한 자세결정로직을 운용하고 있고, 별추적기의 측정지연 보상, 처리 주기내의 평균 각속도 사용 등 실시간 운용으로 인한 제한으로 성능상의 제약이 있다. 따라서 정밀자세결정 지상 후처리 작업이 필요하며 이를 위해서 기 개발된 지상처리용 정밀자세결정 소프트웨어를 새로운 접속요구규격에 맞춰 업그레이드하였다. 지상처리 정밀자세결정을 위해서 탑재컴퓨터는 영상촬영 전후 일정기간 동안 별추적기 데이터, 자이로 데이터, 탑재컴퓨터에서 결정한 자세정보 등을 매 탑재컴퓨터 처리 주기로 저장하여 지상으로 전송한다. 전송된 자료를 이용하여 지상처리용 정밀자세결정 소프트웨어는 정밀궤도 정보와 결합하여 정밀자세결정을 수행한다. 고기동 위성의 경우 기동 후 정밀자세결정 수렴 속도 향상이 필요하며, 소프트웨어의 필터 파라미터를 조율하여 성능을 향상하였다.

In this paper, we suggest how to determine the parachute deploy position for accurate landing of a UAV at a desired position. The 9-DOF dynamic modeling of UAV-parachute system is required to construct the proposed algorithm based on neural network nonlinear function approximation technique. The input and output data sets to train the neural network are obtained from simulation results using UAV-parachute 9-DOF model. The input data consist of the deploy position, UAV's velocity, and wind velocity. The output data consist of the cross range and down range of landing positions. So we predict the relative landing position from the current UAV position. The deploy position is then determined through distance compensations for the relative landing positions from the desired landing position. The deploy position is consistently calculated and updated.

A steady-state analytical model was presented for a loop heat pipe (LHP) with an evaporator that has a flat geometry. On the basis of a series of reviews of the relevant literature, a sequence of calculations was proposed to predict the temperatures and pressures at each important part of the LHP: the evaporator, liquid reservoir (compensation chamber), liquid line, vapor line, and condenser. The analysis of the evaporator, which is the only part in the LHP that has a capillary structure, was emphasized. Thin-film theory is applied to account for the pressure and temperature in the region adjacent to the liquid-vapor interface in the evaporator. The present study introduced a unique method to estimate the liquid temperature at the interface. Relative freedom was assumed in the configuration of a condenser with a simplified liquid-vapor interface. Our steady-state model was validated by experimental results available in the literature. The relative error was within 3% on the absolute temperature scale, and reasonable agreement was obtained.

Aspheric pick-up lenses are increasingly used in consumer products such as computer and multimedia, as their mass production has become possible owing to the injection molding process. However still much work needs to be done for more effective manufacture of aspheric lenses, one area of which is the in-line inspection of produced lenses. In this paper, we present a lateral-shearing interferometer that has specially been designed to have a high immunity to external vibration and atmospheric disturbance. The interferometer comprises four prisms. They are directly attached to each other using an immersion oil so that relative sliding motions between the prisms are allowed. Their relative displacement can readily generate necessary lateral-shearing and phase-shifting to determine the wavefront of the beam collimated by the lens under inspection. A special phase-measuring algorithm of arbitrary-bucket is adopted to compensate the phase-shifting error caused by the thickness reduction in the immersion oil. Zernike polynomial fitting has done for determinating quantitative aberration of aspheric pick-up lenses. The interferometer built in this work is robust to external mechanical vibration and atmospheric disturbance so that experimental results show that it has a repeatability of less than λ/100.

Purpose: In breast cancer radiotherapy, brass mesh bolus has been recently studied to overcome disadvantage of conventional bolus. The purpose of this study is to investigate the stability of first introduced the brass mesh in the country, and evaluate the skin surface dose of that. Materials and Methods: The measurement of skin surface dose was evaluated to verify similar thickness of the Brass mesh bolus that compared conformal tissue equivalent bolus with 5 mm thickness. We used 6 MV photons on an ELEKTA VERSA linear accelerator and optically stimulated luminescent dosimeter (OSLD). In addition, two opposed beam using IMRT phantom was applied to comparative study of brass mesh bolus between tissue equivalent bolus. Results: The results showed that similar thickness of the Brass mesh bolus was 3 mm compared with 5 mm tissue equivalent bolus by measuring the skin surface dose of solid phantom. The surface dose for IMRT thorax phantom using 3 mm brass mesh bolus was about 1.069 times greater than that using tissue equivalent bolus. Conclusion: In this study, we found that the brass mesh bolus improved better reduction of skin sparing effect and dose uniformity than tissue equivalent bolus. However evaluation for various clinic cases should be investigated.
