This paper aims to investigate the micro-mechanical behaviour of tow geometry with forming pressures and densities of foams during the curing process of plain weave carbon fibre fabric prepregs onto polymer foams. In order to find out and compare deformation patterns between different forming conditions, tow parameters such as amplitude and crimp angle etc. are investigated. From the observation results, geometric difference in the tow architecture with respect to forming conditions and foam characteristics were found. To observe the micro-deformation of the fabric structure, appropriate specimens from carbon fibre-foam sandwich structures are sectioned and observed under the microscope.

Study on differential pressure in the chamber of cannon by adjusting the mass flow of ignition-gas has been conducted using the 1-D interior ballistics numerical code called IBcode. In case of large-caliber cannon, high temperature ignition-gas is injected to the chamber through the side hole of the primer to ignite the propellant. Therefore, mass flow of injected ignition-gas affects the propellant combustion in the chamber. Mass flow of each side hole of the current primer was uniformly distributed. In this study, differences of propellant combustion with different mass flow of each side hole have been imposed. Results in case of the mass flow increase in the direction to the base show that the differential pressure decreases compared to the uniformed mass flow.

In this paper, development of the monopulse secondary surveillance radar antenna which can be used for IFF system is presented. This antenna that is passive linear array is comprised of the row-feeder and several array-elements. The row-feeder provides sum, different and SLS(Sidelobe Supression) channels which are optimized the distribution of the power and phase ratio. The azimuthe sidelobe level of the sum channel beam pattern is -20 dBc or less. The SLS channel covers the sidelobe of the sum-chanel in the whole azimuth angle range. And the difference channel is used to perform the mono-pulse function, improves the detection accuracy in the azimuth direction. Meanwhile, the arrayelement makes shaped beam in the elevation angle, in order to eliminate the clutter and multipath effects from the ground. Performance of the antenna developed is verified by the measurement of S-parameters and far-field beam pattern, and satisfies all of the development specifications well.

An integrated light guide plate (LGP) was designed for liquid crystal displays (LCD) without using prism and diffuser sheets. The integrated LGP is textured with micro-patterns on both the top and bottom surfaces. The textures effectively substitute for a single prism-sheet and a diffuser sheet in LCD displays without decreasing the brightness and uniformity. A LCD display with our integrated light guide is simulated to give average luminance of 4560 cd/$m^2$, luminance uniformity of 83% horizontal viewing angle $60^{\circ}$ and vertical viewing angle $56^{\circ}$. Therefore an ultra thin (slim) back light unit can be constructed with fewer optical sheets, which reduces the manufacturing cost and so improves price competitiveness.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of die temperature and dimension on extraction pattern, extract yield, and crude saponin content of extruded white ginseng. The extrusion variables were die temperature $(110\;and\;120^{\circ}C)$ and die dimension (3 holes with 1.0 mm, 2 holes with 2.0 mm, and 1 hole with 3.0 mm diameter). The browness and redness were indicator of active components in ginseng extract. Both were used to evaluate the effect of die temperature and die dimension on release pattern and release rate constant. Browness and redness of extract achieved its lowest value at die temperature $110^{\circ}C$ and 2 holes with 2.0 mm diameter, indicating the lowest extraction rate constant. Extract yield highly increased by extrusion treatment. Extract yield and crude saponin content were the highest at die temperature $120^{\circ}C$ and 1 hole with 3.0 mm diameter. In conclusion, extrusion process has contributed significantly in improvement of release rate of its active components.

Background: Left ventricular dysfunction is one of the important prognostic factors of early mortality and long-term survival after valve operation. We studied the intermediate term results of mitral valve reconstruction in patients with moderate to severe left ventricular dysfunction. Material and Method: Forty four patients who underwent mitral valve reconstruction with a left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) of <45% or less (20∼45%) from April 1995 through July 2001 were reviewed retrospectively. Ages ranged from 10 to 67 years (46∼14 years) and 32 patients were in NYHA class III-IV. The mitral valve diseases were regurgitation (MR) in 28 patients, stenosis(MS) in 10, and mixed lesion in 5. The etiologies of mitral valve disease were rheumatic in 20 patients, degenerative in 14, ischemic in 5, annular dilatation in 2, congenital in 2, and endocarditis in 1. Operatively, all patients had annuloplasty and/or various valvuloplasty techniques, and a total of 52 procedures were concomitantly performed. Total cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic crossclamp time were 160$\pm$57 minutes and 112$\pm$45 minutes respectively. Result: Two operative deaths occurred as a result of left ventricular failure (4.5%). After the mean follow-up of 39 months (range, 10∼83 months), there was no late death. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed no or grade I of MR in 29 patients (72.5%) and no or mild MS in 35 patients (87.5%). The actuarial survival at 5 years was 100%. Four patients required mitral valve replacement due to progressive mitral valvular disease. The actuarial freedom from valve-related reoperation at 5 years was 84$\pm$9%. Conclusion: This study suggests that mitral valve reconstruction in patients with moderate to severe left ventricular dysfunction offers good early and intermediate survival and acceptable freedom from valve-related reoperation, and it is the strategy for effective management for these patients.

Baroplastic poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA)/polystyrene (PS) blends were prepared by mixing PBA and PS emulsions synthesized by cationic and anionic surfactant, respectively. Interestingly, the heterocoagulation of nanoparticles have found to be affected strongly by emulsion concentration but the blends have been prepared with almost same compositions regardless of the amount of reactants. Utilizing this method, PBA/PS/Si hybrid nano-blends were prepared successfully via electrostatic attraction forces between PBA, PS and silica nanoparticles. The hybrid nano-blend having 2 or 5 wt% of silica was then processed to a semi-transparent film at $25^{\circ}C$ under 13.8 MPa for 10 min, which showed 3.0 MPa of tensile strength and 25 MPa of elastic modulus. Therefore, the heterocoagulation technique can be used for preparing baroplastics with uniform compositions of polymer and silica nanoparticles.

전기방전에 대한 shed 재료의 열화내성과 우수한 발수성의 장기간 유지특성은 폴리머 애자의 장기성능에 있어서 가장 중요한 인자들이다. 애자 제조시 무결점 성형성 또한 중요한데 열화내성을 확보하기 위해 다량의 ATH의 첨가가 수반되기 때문에 적절한 process oil의 사용이 불가피하다. 사용하는 오일의 종류와 량에 따라 옥외절연물의 장기성능에 영향을 주는 표면발수성이나 방전내성은 크게 차이가 나는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 화학적 구조와 정도가 다른 몇 가지 실리콘 fluid들을 실리콘 고무에 처방하여 기본물성과 초고압 옥외절연물의 shed 재료로서 장기성능에 영향을 주는 방전열화내성과 표면발수성의 회복특성을 평가하였다. 실리콘 고무의 무결점 사출성형에 가소도가 중요한데 동일한 무기물 첨가조건에서 유사한 가소도를 갖게 하는데 필요한 량은 fluid들의 종류에 따라서 상당한 차이가 있었다. 특히 PDMS는 점도는 낮지만 분자량이 커서 많은 량이 첨가되어 기계적 특성저하가 크게 일어났다. 코로나 처리후 발수성 회복특성은 fluid들의 분자크기와 반응기의 종류에 따라 상당히 영향을 받았으며 분자가 클수록 초기회복속도는 다소 느려도 최종의 상시발수성은 다소 높게 유지되었으며 2일 이내에 거의 초기 접촉각으로 회복되었다. 내아크성은 무게손실이 적을수록 오차범위도 작은 안정된 특성을 보였으며 fluid들의 종류에 따른 무게손실의 차이는 크지 않았다. 트래킹 방전에 의한 무게 감소는 fluid의 분자가 크면서 페닐기를 가진 fluid들이 첨가된 고무가 우수한 특성을 보였다.

In the case of Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS), common telecommunication systems typically have Rayleigh distributed amplitude characteristics. However measurement result of Ultra Wideband (UWB) Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) system which is proposed as one of candidate standard in IEEE 802. 15. 3a for Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) shows that it has independent log normal fading in each cluster as well as in each ray within the cluster. Based on this clustering phenomenon observed, MB-OFDM channel model derived from Saleh-Valenzuela model with a couple of slight modifications. In this paper, channel remodeling for RF frequency hopping in MB-OFDM system is achieved, and performances of MB-OFDM system for each channel mode and data rate are verified using modified channel model.
