The pressure safety valve is very important device for securing the safety in the facilities which is operated by high pressure gases. The performance test should be periodically inspected by relate law because the failure of pressure safety valves might be main causes of serious accidents in the industrial fields. Shop test is mainly use for inspecting the performance test of pressure safety valves but the test method is not to be a solution for securing the safety. So, the development of alternative method is required. In this paper, there is a limit to securing the safety if the performance test is with just shop test. The limitation is checked from analysis result based on performance test results of pressure safety valves. The necessity for introducing the in-service test is reviewed to surmount the limitation. As a result, in-service test method should be developed and introduced to improve the inspection efficiency and economical loss. Also, it can be reduce the risk level.

Melting and icing process of the PCMTCU(Phase Change Material Thermal Control Unit) installed on the NEXTSat-2, which is scheduled to be launched in the second half, was investigated through the results of satellite-level TVT(Thermal Vacuum Test). As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the latent heat of PCM contributes to the temperature stabilization of the heating components. The thermal model for numerical analysis of the PCMTCU was correlated to acquire a reasonable degree of accuracy using the collected temperature measurements during TVT. The periodic temperature variation of the PCMTCU in normal on-orbit operation was predicted with the correlated thermal model, and the quantitative contribution of the PCM on the thermal energy management was evaluated with the liquid fraction. It will receive flight telemetry from the NEXTSat-2 after the launch, and complete the space verification of the PCMTCU.

Excessive memory buffer requirement in continuous media playback is a serious impediment of wide spread usage of on-line multimedia service. Skewed access frequency of available video files provides an opportunity of re-using the date blocks which has been loaded by one session for later usage. We present novel algorithm which minimizes the buffer requirement in multiple sessions of multimedia playbacks. In continuous media playback originated from the disk, a certain amount of memory buffer is required to synchronize asynchronous disk. Read operation and synchronous playback operation. As aggregate playback bandwodth increases, larger amount of buffer needs to be allocated for this synchronization purpose. The focus of this work is to study the asymptotic behavior of the synchronization buffer requirement and to develop an algorithm coping with this excessive buffer requirement under bandwidth congestioon. We argue that in a large scale continuous media server, it may not be necessary to read the blocks for each session directly from the disk. The beauty of our work lies in the fact that it dynamically adapts to disk utilization of the server and finds the optimal way of servicinh the individual sessions while minimizing the overall buffer space requirement. Optimality of the proposed algorithm is shown by proof. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed scheme is examined via simulation.

Genetic alternation of Brca1 predispose of breast and ovarian cancer. Brca1 plays critical role in cell cycle regulation following DNA damage. Previous studies revealed that Brca1 plays an important role in S phase and G2/M checkpoint regulation. However, whether Brca1 involves in spindle checkpoint is unclear. In this study, the role of Brca1 in cell cycle response following nocodazole, which is a reagent that depolymerizes microtubules and activates the spindle checkpoint, has been examined using wild type $p53^{-/-}\;and\;p53^{-/-}Brca1^{-/-}$ mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). While wild type and Brca1-proficient MEFs showed an acute mitotic arrest, Brca1-deficient MEFs failed to arrest at mitotic phase in response to nocodazole treatment. In double-thymidine block and nocodazole treatment experiment, a portion of $p53^{-/-}\;Brca1^{-/-}$ MEFs were clearly by-passed nocodazole induced mitotic arrest. Consistent with this, in morphologic analysis, $p53^{-/-}\;Brca1^{-/-}$ MEFs showed growing cell morphology after nocodazole treatment. Taken together, these results suggest that Brca1 protein is an important component for normal induction of spindlecheckpoint and impairment of Brca1 function could induce dysregulation of mitotic cell cycle that ultimately results in genomic instability.

Generally, there are three ways to remove VOCs from the small painting booth; adsorption, burn and oxidation catalyst. RTO and RCO are high efficiency methods for removing VOCs. But they require large installation areas, which are not suitable for the small painting booth. And we need a new removing method because it is difficult to predict the A/C changing time and the recycle time. To solve these problems, we have developed the Arc plasma system which is simple and enable consecutive-use. It removes VOCs effectively and eco-friendly. In this study we have investigated the enrichment material and VOCs removal efficiency.

Two-dimensional laminar numerical analyses were carried out for investigating the thermo-hydraulic characteristics of wavy channels with different shape parameters ($0.5{\leq}{\in}{\leq}1.5$, $0.1{\leq}{\gamma}{\leq}0.4$). PAO (polyalphaolefin), which is used for electronics cooling, is considered as the working fluid. In addition, constant properties, periodically developed flow, and uniform channel wall temperature conditions are assumed. Streamline and temperature fields, isothermal Fanning friction factors, and Colburn factors are presented for different Reynolds numbers in the laminar region ($1{\leq}Re{\leq}1000$). The results show that heat transfer is enhanced when the channel corrugation ratio (${\gamma}$) is large and channel spacing ratio (${\in}$) is small in the low Reynolds number region (Re < 50) and when ${\in}$ and ${\gamma}$ are large in the high Reynolds number region ($Re{\geq}50$).

This paper presents a design and optimization of the fully-active transfemoral prosthesis leg system. As it has one degree of freedom in knee joint, this prosthesis leg can imitate the human's gait. The weight of system, which makes the users more comfortable due to less tiredness, and the knee joint torque to rise stability of the system are major factors of prosthesis leg system. Thus the mechanism of prosthesis changes from 3-linkage type to geared type. The sensorized foot is also designed to effectively determine human's gait by measuring deformation of the foot during gait. Topology optimization is carried out for the sensorized foot to remove its unnecessary weight. The safety of optimized foot is verified by carrying out finite element analysis.

The satellite thermal control H/W composed of two parallel channels working for heat pipe (HP) and phase change material (PCM) is suggested for the high heat dissipating component which works intermittently with short duty. In a limited point of view, the HP-PCM device is a kind of off-the-shelf component that requires no dedicated configuration and thermal designs to PCM. Therefore, it can be used with less impact on the program cost and schedule different from most of the PCM applications. In present study the typical honeycomb structure radiator applying the HP-PCM device is designed and the detail thermal math model is developed for numerical analyses. The result comparison between without and with PCM shows that the HP-PCM device redistributes the peak heat around the whole mission period through the alternate melting and freezing of PCM, and, as a result, the maximum and minimum temperatures are effectively alleviated. The drawback of PCM application due to low thermal conductivity can be successfully resolved by means of parallel arrangement of HP channel.

본 논문에서는 4K UHD 입력 영상을 실시간으로 부호화하기 위해 적용되는 GOP 단위 또는 IDR 주기 단위의 병렬 부호화 구조를 지원하도록 R-${\lambda}$ 모델 기반의 율 제어 방법을 개선하는 비트 분배(bit allocation) 방법을 제안한다. GOP 단위 또는 IDR 주기 단위의 병렬 부호화기 내에서 율 제어기를 작동시키는 경우, 계층적 B 구조에서 같은 계층에 있는 프레임 간에는 상호간에 얼마만큼의 비트를 소모 하였는지에 대한 정보를 공유 할 수 없기 때문에 기존의 비트 분배 방식으로는 비트 예산(bit budget) 관리가 불가능하다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는, 기존의 R-${\lambda}$ 모델 기반 율 제어 방법을 개선하여 부호화 순서에 의한 시간 순서 방향의 비트 예산 갱신 기반 비트 분배하던 방식으로부터, GOP 마다 비트를 할당한 후 계층적 B 구조에서의 계층이 깊어지는 방향으로 비트 예산을 갱신하여 비트를 분배하는 방식으로 율 배분 방식을 개선하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 R-${\lambda}$ 모델 기반 율 제어의 기존 비트 분배 방식보다 제안 방법에 의한 목표 비트 율 달성 오차가 감소함을 확인하였다.

As the convergence solutions become more common, the use of Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards has been increasing. These control boards has to be executed under power blackout. In this environment, we take advantage of solar power system to overcome the power out. In this paper, we poposed a effficient power control strategy. Our experimental device is a DSLR shooting device executed based a predesigned interval time. The control module of our experimental device is the compound system of Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards. Arduino board send the force signals to wake up Raspberry Pi. We developed a new control strategy algorithm for the efficient use of solar power energy. In this paper, we mesured the efficiency of solar enery consuming of our system. We programmed a control system to send DSLR shooting signals. In experimentals, we ensured a stable consuming of electricity during 10 days. In the end, it was found that the consumption power of the Raspberry was reduced by about 81% when the Aduino was combined to save power.
