Two types of organic thin film solar cell devices with bulk hetero-junction (BHJ) structure were fabricated on plastic substrates using conjugated polymers of $PCDTBT:PC_{71}BM$ and $PTB7:PC_{71}BM$ blended as active channel layer. Time-variant characteristics of the organic thin film solar cell devices were investigated: short circuit current density ($J_{SC}$); open circuit voltage ($V_{OC}$); ; fill factor (FF); power conversion efficiency (PCE, ŋ). All the performance parameters were degraded by progress of the measurement time, while $V_{OC}$ showed the most drastic decrease with time. Possible factors to cause the time-variant alteration of performance parameters were discussed to be clarified.

In this paper, we propose the Min-hash Assisted Delta-compression Engine(MADE) to improve the lifetime of NAND flash-based storages at the device level. MADE effectively reduces the write traffic to NAND flash through the use of a novel delta compression scheme. The delta compression performance was optimized by introducing min-hash based LSH(Locality Sensitive Hash) and efficiently combining it with our delta compression method. We also developed a delta encoding technique that has functionality equivalent to deduplication and lossless compression. The results of our experiment show that MADE reduces the amount of data written on NAND flash by up to 90%, which is better than a simple combination of deduplication and lossless compression schemes by 12% on average.

This paper presents a compact and miniaturized power detector utilizing low temperature co-fired ceramics(LTCC) technology for the application in wireless handset system to monitor the transmitting power at the frequency of 824-849MHz. The proposed power detector is composed of detector diode, lumped components for matching network, and LTCC stripline coupler based on LTCC substrate technology. A 20dB LTCC stripline direction coupler is designed and implemented with many bending section in order to reduce the practically occupied area for miniaturization. A zero bias schottky diode is adopted for detector design because of its high speed operation with minimized loss. The measured performances of fabricated detector agree well with the predicted results with a good linearity within the effective input RF power range.

To improve the efficiency of PDP TV, it should minimize the power losses transpired during AC-to-DC power conversion and PDP driving process. Generally the input power supply for PDP driving employes a two-stage power factor corrected converter, and it needs additional DC-to-DC converters to supply driving power for reset circuit ed sustain driver, which has high power consumption. However, such a circuit configuration has a difficulty for the PDP market requires low cost. To alleviate this problem, a new circuit composition is presented. It integrates input power supply with reset and sustain driver in a single power stack The input power supply of the proposed circuit has a single-stage structure to minimize power conversion loss, and it directly supplies power to the sustain driver so as to reduce the system size and cost.

본 연구는 낙동강 유역의 대표지점별 과거 수문자료의 타당성을 검토하고, 발생된 오류에 대해서는 표준화된 방법으로 수정 보완하여 하천유량 적정관리를 위한 기초 통계자료를 구축하는데 그 목적이 있다. 따라서 수문자료의 정확성 확보와 향후 자료의 활용성을 증대하기 위하여 낙동강홍수통제소의 수문관측소를 중심으로 수위, 수위-유량관계곡선식, 유량자료를 다양한 근거자료 및 수문자료의 특성 등을 고려하여 기초적인 통계자료 구축을 위해 노력하였다. 과거자료를 검토한 결과 2000년대를 기점으로 수위자료의 정확도가 향상되는 것으로 판단하였으며, 사용자에게 신뢰성 있는 자료를 제공하기 위하여 2000년도 이후의 수위자료와 수위-유량관계곡선식을 수집하여 검토?분석하였고, 자료 보완을 통하여 신뢰성 있는 유량자료를 구축할 수 있도록 하였다. 대상지점 12개소에 대하여 취득기간별에 따른 각종 기초통계 특성에 대하여 요약 정리하였다. 자료의 취득률은 대부분 90% 이상의 양호한 결과를 나타내었지만, 몇몇 지점에서는 수위자료의 불안정으로 인하여 60% 이하를 나타내는 지점 또한 존재하였다. 연평균 손실고는 평균강수량에서 유출고를 뺀 값을 나타내고, 이에 대한 유출률을 산정하였다. 또한 취득기간 동안의 평균 풍 평 저 갈수량을 분석하였다. 치수 및 이수 측면을 고려하여 최고유량과 이에 대한 발생일을 조사하였으며, 최저유량의 경우는 7일 평균 최저유량과 이에 대한 발생일을 조사하였다. 최저유량 발생일은 7일 중 중간일을 기준으로 표시하였고 조석이나, 지속적인 배수의 영향을 받는 지점은 홍수위 및 홍수량에 대해서만 산출하였다. 비록 2000년 이전 자료에 대해서는 현실적인 한계로 인하여 검토를 실시하지 못하였으나, 최소 10년간의 자료에 대해서는 신뢰성을 확보하기 위한 노력을 기울였으며, 이러한 경험으로 다시는 재현되는 않는 자연현상에 대한 현장단위에서의 관측 및 측정뿐만 아니라 이를 바탕으로 축적된 자료의 구축, 검증을 통한 DB 구축 등에 더욱 각고의 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

In a spray experiment using a venturi mounted on a lean premixed LPP injector, droplets appear to have non-uniform distributions. To solve this problem, the exit angle of the venturi was changed to form a dump surface on the nozzle neck. The dump surface improved the atomization performance and minimized droplet loss while forming recirculation zone in the venturi exit. In order to solve the non-uniform spray of the injector, the flow characteristics inside the venturi and SMD of the spray are compared. Finally, an optimum venturi shape is selected to minimize the spray loss and improve the spray performance.

Military vehicles use run-flat wheels for emergency situations. Run-flat wheels can run required distance in a defined duration with the pressure loss tire. For the application of a run-flat system, wheels are designed in 2 pieces, including an inner rim and outer rim. These rims are assembled using clamping bolts. Clamping bolts determine the durability of military vehicle wheels because fracture of clamping bolts account for most wheel failures. For improving wheel durability, clamping bolt durability must be improved. In this study, wheel test conditions and bolt design were investigated. Existing test standards are not sufficient to conduct endurance tests. Supplementary conditions were investigated. Using these modified test conditions, the durability of wheels including clamping bolts was tested and verified. Results found the durability of wheels improved more than 168%. This study also proposes improvements in the design process of clamping bolts.

In this study, a guide vane with varying positions and incidence angles was adopted to a pin-fin channel to analyze the change in thermal performance and pressure loss characteristics. A numerical analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of incidence angles and positions on heat transfer and flow characteristics at Re =1400. The results of it were compared those of a pin-fin channel without a guide vane. In case 1 when the incidence angle is $0^{\circ}$, the heat transfer performance is maximized and improved by approximately 5% when compared to the pin-fin channel without the guide vane. In case 2 when the incidence angle is $10^{\circ}$, the pressure loss is minimized and decreased by approximately 1.9% when compared to the pin-fin channel without the guide vane.

It is needed to develop an antenna with features of subminiature, light weight and multi-band operation for the variaty services in maritime and industrial fields. The PCB pattern antenna is one of the appropreiate antennas solving these requirements. In this research, the design and fabrication of the PCB pattern antenna operating on the single band of 920 MHz are investigated. The final goal is that the development of the dual band PCB pattern antenna operating on 260 MHz and 920 MHz, which is based on the proposed antenna. It is evident that the performance in the frequencies of 902 MHz, 915 MHz and 928 MHz among of 920 MHz ISM band is better than that in other frequencies. It is also confirmed that the differences of the voltage standing wave ratio, return loss, gain and efficiency between three frequencies are less than 5%. It is expected that the development of communication link of 5-10 km is possible when the induced results are applied into the low power wide area (LPWA) network desinged by the rule of -30 dB sensitivity.

In this study, a simulation-based damage estimation method for helidecks is proposed using an artificial neural network. The structural members that share a connecting node in the helideck are regarded as a damage group, and a total of 37,400 damage scenarios are numerically generated by applying randomly assigned damage to up to three damage groups. Modal analysis is then performed for all the damage scenarios, which are selectively used as either training or validation or verification sets based on the purpose of use. An artificial neural network with three hidden layers is constructed using a PyTorch program to recognize the patterns of the modal responses of the helideck model under both damaged and undamaged states, and the network is successively trained to minimize the loss function. Finally, the estimated damage rate from the proposed artificial neural network is compared to the actual assigned damage rate using 400 verification scenarios to show that the neural network is able to estimate the location and amount of structural damage precisely.
