In order to measure yield stress of PIM feedstocks simply and effectively, a yield stress measuring technique was developed by a vane method. The vane method had an advantage that there was no wall-slip, while it had a drawback that it could not measure viscosity change at various shear rates. A Newtonian fluid was tested for the appropriateness of the measuring technique. The end effect of a vane was checked to produce an acceptable error. The torque peak has been considered to be developed at yielding of non-Newtonian fluids with yield stress. However, it was influenced very much by control system of the instrument so that the torque value at the stable region was taken to calculate yield stress. Torque at zero rotational speed was obtained by extrapolating the torque values at various speeds to remove the effect of the rotational drag. As general verification, yield stress of feedstocks made of Tungsten carbide powder with wax-based binder was measured at different temperatures and various powder concentrations.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of spray pattern such as discharge coefficient, spray angle, and mass distribution for two-fluid airblast swirl injector, within the range of fluid supply pressure 0~13kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. In general atomization is promoted with increasing total gas mass flow and performance of the splay pattern was more stable when radial mass flow was greater than axial mass flow, radial swirler was better than Axial swirler for atomization. Equivalent spray angle did not change with water mass flow except for the condition of 3kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and showed the same for the gas mass flow. Mass distribution from the patternator shows that maximum value of the distribution were lowered but distributed larger area when gas flow rate increased. Center of mass position did not change with increasing water mass flow.

메탄은 변환을 통해 아세틸렌 및 수소와 같은 에너지 생산에 보다 유용한 기체를 얻을 수 있다. 메탄의 열분해 온도는 약 1,200 K로 알려져 있으며, 그 이상의 고온 환경 및 첨가물을 제공한 경우 효과적인 변환을 기대할 수 있다. 이러한 고온 환경 및 화학반응을 제공할 수 있는 시스템으로 열플라즈마 반응로가 있다. 일반적인 열플라즈마는 아크 방전이나 고주파 유도결합 방전으로 플라즈마 발생기에서 발생시킨 이온화된 열유체로 10,000 K 이상의 초고온과 최대 수천 m/s의 특성을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 메탄 변환을 위한 저전력 아크 플라즈마 발생기 및 반응로 내부의 온도 및 속도장을 전산모사하여 열유동 특성을 분석하였다. 아크 플라즈마 토치 영역의 전산해석은 전자기적 현상과 고온 열유동의 유체역학적 현상이 함께 작용하므로 기존에 사용되고 있는 전산유체 역학적인 방법론에 전자기적 현상에 대한 보존 방정식이 결합된 자기유체역학(Magnetohydrodynamic, MHD)방법을 이용하였고, 반응기 내부의 복잡한 열유동은 안정적인 계산이 가능한 상용 전산 유체역학(Computational Fluids Dynamics, CFD) 코드를 MHD 코드를 이용한 전산해석 결과 및 고온 물성치와 결합하여 해석하였다. 전산해석에 사용된 운전 변수로는 방전기체인 아르곤과 수소의 전체 유량을 45 L/min 으로 고정하고 수소의 비율을 0%, 6%, 12.5%, 20%로 하였으며, 각 유량 조건에서 입력 전력을 0.7 ~ 2.5 KW로 변화시켜 전체 15종의 운전조건에 따른 전산해석을 수행하여 각각의 운전변수에 따라 입력전력 기준 오차 1 ~ 28%에 해당하는 결과를 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 전산해석 방법을 이용하여 다양한 조건에서 아크 플라즈마 반응로 내부의 온도 및 속도장에 대한 전산해석 결과를 제시하였고, 효율적인 메탄 변환 공정을 개발하기 위한 아크 플라즈마 반응로의 설계조건 및 운전 조건을 제시할 수 있는 기반을 확보하였다.

In this paper, a vital sign sensor based on impedance variation of resonator is proposed to detect the respiration and heartbeat signals within near-field range as a function of the separation distance between resonator and subject. The sensor consists of an oscillator with a built-in planar type patch resonator, a diplexer for only pass the second harmonic frequency, amplifier, SAW filter, and RF detector. The cardiac activity of a subject such as respiration and heartbeat causes the variation of the oscillation frequency corresponding impedance variation of the resonator within near-field range. The combination of the second harmonic oscillation frequency deviation and the superior skirt frequency of the SAW filter enables the proposed sensor to extend twice detection range. The experimental results reveal that the proposed sensor placed 40 mm away from a subject can reliably detect respiration and heartbeat signals.

This paper presents a multiple face detector based on a robust pupil detection technique. The pupil detector uses active illumination that exploits the retro-reflectivity property of eyes to facilitate detection. The detection range of this method is appropriate for interactive desktop and kiosk applications. Once the location of the pupil candidates are computed, the candidates are filtered and grouped into pairs that correspond to faces using heuristic rules. To demonstrate the robustness of the face detection technique, a dual mode face tracker was developed, which is initialized with the most salient detected face. Recursive estimators are used to guarantee the stability of the process and combine the measurements from the multi-face detector and a feature correlation tracker. The estimated position of the face is used to control a pan-tilt servo mechanism in real-time, that moves the camera to keep the tracked face always centered in the image.

In this paper, we proposed the algorithm for the extraction of the corresponding points from images. The proposed algorithm EMSAC is based on RANSAC and EM algorithms. In the RANSAC procedure, the N corresponding points are randomly selected from the observed total corresponding points to estimate the homography matrix, H. This procedure continues on its repetition until the optimum H are estimated within number of repetition maximum. Therefore, it takes much time and does not converge sometimes. To overcome the drawbacks, the EM algorithm was used for the selection of N corresponding points. The EM algorithm extracts the corresponding points with the highest probability density to estimate the optimum H. By the experiments, it is demonstrated that the proposed method has exact and fast performance on extraction of corresponding points by combining RANSAC with EM.

Two capacitance diaphragm gauges(CDG) and two resonance silicon gauges(RSG) were calibrated using an ultrasonic interferometer as a national low vacuum standard in KRISS. The CDG has superior pressure resolution and is rugged as well as resistant to over-pressure because of all-metal inner components. Meanwhile, the RSG is a new type of MEMS sensor that has excellent calibration stability and is resistant to mechanical shocks. The calibration uncertainties were analyzed according to the ISO procedures. Results showed that the maximum difference of the expanded uncertainties was $9\times10^{-3}$Pa at the generated pressure of 100 Pa for the two different types. It is remarkable that the RSG can be used as a transfer standard at low vacuum since their accuracies were found to be within 0.5 %.

The slope design of an open-pit mine must ensure slope stability and economic feasibility. The overall slope angle of the pit is therefore the main factor of concern because of limited support or reinforcement options available in such a setting. This study examines the optimal measurement system for monitoring the behavior of the slope in an open-pit mine using displacement measurement, data analysis, and numerical simulations for a coal mine at Pasir, Indonesia. The area of slope to be managed is extensive and the maximum displacement, as calculated by numerical analysis, is about 3,000 mm. The displacement data, measured by inclinometer and GPS, were analyzed, and the applicability of SSR (slope stability radar) was reviewed in comparison with other monitoring systems.

Soil nailing type of retaining structures has been widely used in Korea far the purpose of the temporary and permanent support in excavations and slope stability. The important factors in application of soil nailing systems in urban excavation site nearby the existing structures are the displacement of the wall and tensile farce of the nails, etc. In this paper, the fled back analyses are carried out at 11 excavation sites to investigate the behavior of tensile farce of nails at stepwise excavation in the multi-layered strata including various rock layers. The results of the fled back analysis are less than about 50% of the measured ones. The distance of active zone by measurements are shown almost larger than that of fled back analysis when the distance of active Bone is defined from the surface of wall to the potential failure surface. And the results of fled back analysis are within the range proposed by the project CLOUTERRE and Cartier & Gigan (1983) which were 0.3$H_f$, and 0.5$H_f$, of the final excavation depth ($H_f$,) respectively, but the values of the measurement were larger than these values.

Analysis of conjugated heat transfer has been conducted for the diffuser exposed to hot combustion gas to design the mechanical durability in high temperature. All the heat transfer means, conduction, convection and radiation have been considered to calculate the total heat flux from hot gas to diffuser surface. The calculation has been implemented by two kinds of methods. One thing is one dimensional method based on empirical equations. The other is CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) axisymmetric calculation containing ${\kappa}-{\omega}$ SST(Shear Stress Transport) turbulent model and DO(Discrete Ordinate) radiation model. The derived results of two methods have compared and showed similar values. From this result, the amount of cooling water and the dimension of water cooling channel were decided.
