Fly-wheel, gimbal antenna, mechanical gyro and cryocooler with moving parts generate a micro-vibration during their on-orbit operation. For the acquisition of high quality image of observation satellite, additional technical efforts are required to reduce the micro-vibration level from the vibration sources. In this study, we proposed a passive isolation system combined with a tuned mass damper-type energy harvester to generate electrical energy from the micro-vibration which has always been subjected to useless isolation objectives. The feasibility of the system has been investigated through the numerical simulation.

We present a novel shadow culling algorithm for interactive ray tracing. Our approach exploits frame-to-frame coherence instead of preprocessing of building shadow data, so this algorithm is suitable for dynamic ray raying. In this algorithm, shadow processing results are stored to each primitive and used in the next frames. We also present a novel occlusion testing method. This method corrects potential shadow errors in our culling algorithm and requires low overhead. Experiment results show that our algorithm reduced both the traversal cost by 7-19 percent and the intersection cost by 9-24 percent.

This paper proposes an integrated recovery approach applying retry and rollback techniques to recover the TMR failure. Combining the time redundancy techniques with W system is apparently effective to recover the TMR failure(or masked error) primarily caused by transient faults. These policies need fewer reconfigurations at the cost of extra time required for the time redundant schemes. The optimal numbers of retry and rollback to minimize the mean execution time of tasks are derived for the proposed method through computing the likelihoods of all possible states of the failed system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through examining certain numerical examples and simulations conducted with a variety of parameters governing environmental characteristics.

The survivability of the temporary nozzle extension for an accurate thrust measurement in a full-scaled combustor has been investigated through thermal analyses. The effects of nozzle extension materials and the thickness of thermal barrier coating (TBC) have been elucidated. It has been found that thermal survivability cannot be guaranteed without TBC. The maximum temperature of the nozzle extension decreased with increasing TBC thickness. For hot firing tests, the TBC is thought to be indispensable to the thermo-structural survivability of the nozzle extension made of steel.

Electrical compound action potential (ECAP) can be recorded on cochlear implant. This study will investigate stimulation and recording to enhance the efficacy of ECAP. 34 articles was used. We analyzed pulse and stimulating condition, artifact suppression, recording condition. The cathod-leading biphasic pulse was used with as short as possible pulse width and inter phase gap for the efficacy of neural firing, stable threshold and preventing neural degeneration. Around C-level was stimulated to apical, middle and basal turn of cochlea. Artifact was eliminated by forward-masking, template-subtraction technique. For clearer waveform, we need to change distance between stimulating and recording electrode, the gain of amplification, number of average.

Broadband noise with frequency components in the range from several kHz up the tens of MHz is a major obstacle factor in normal operation of the AC line to supply the power to electrical and electronic control equipments. Because this kind of noise could damage the device or could be a source of malfunction, many devices such as filter and surge suppressor are used to cut off the noise. But those devices could not disconnected from the power line, so they result in poor common-mode of NCT as well as insulation characteristics as a isolation transformer in addition faraday shielding and proposed analysis model of NCT having tow functions of surge and noise reduction. The simulated and experimental results for the surge suppression characteristics are compared and evaluated for designed protype 1[kVA] NCT.

Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, various methods have been devised to prevent infections caused by physical contact. Among them, a non-contact button was developed to prevent infections in elevators, where many contacts occur in daily life. In this study, an active shield type capacitance sensor is used to detect changes in capacitance when a finger approaches. There is no static power consumption, and the relatively expensive ADC and MCU are reduced to one by sensing buttons every time using analog switches. In addition to the elevator buttons, this technology is expected to replace push-type buttons that many people contact in everyday life.

The thermal performance of LNG fuel tanks of vehicles is determined by the time for non-venting storage of fuel and the amount of fuel supplied to the engine. In this study, we selected a double-walled vacuum-insulated fuel tank with a volume of 450 liter, and the properties of the fuel contained in it were assumed to be the same as those of the methane($CH_4$). For the increasing the non-venting fuel storage time, we propose the use of shielded penetration pipes in the tank. We compared the storage times of the tank used in our study with those of the conventional fuel tank. Further, the additional heat input required to maintain the fuel pressure necessary for an appropriate fuel supply rate was predicted. For these parameters, we derived a thermodynamic relationship that can be used to estimate the rate of increase in pressure for a known heat input, and we obtained equations for estimating the rate of heat leaked by using the established heat transfer model. From the results of numerical computation, we found the non-venting storage time of the tank with shielded pipes to be 25-30% higher than that of the tank with unshielded pipes. Further, we determined the appropriate operation conditions by taking into consideration the transfer rate of additional heat provided to the fuel tank.

금속재료 중 철강은 기계적 성질이 우수하고 대량생산에 의한 뛰어난 경제성을 가지기 때문에 다양한 산업 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 스테인리스강 등과 같은 일부 특수한 용도의 강을 제외하고는 부식 환경에 취약하기 때문에 그 용도에 따라 표면처리를 함으로서 내식특성을 부여하고 있다. 일반적으로 이러한 철강재료에 대한 부식문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로는 습식프로세스 중 아연(Zn)도금이 사용되는데, 아연은 그 자체가 보유하고 있는 차폐(barrier)효과는 물론 상대적으로 이온화 경향이 크기 때문에 철에 대하여 전자를 공급하는 희생양극적(Sacrificial anode)역할을 하여 철을 방식하는 원리를 가지고 있다. 하지만 최근에 이르러 기존의 도금 프로세스 처리된 제품의 사용 및 적용분야가 확대되고 가혹해 짐에 따라서 내식성 향상을 위한 새로운 재료 및 신기술 개발이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 친환경 프로세스 방법인 PVD법 중 하나인 스퍼터링(Sputtering)을 이용하여 0.8mm 두께의 냉연강판 (cold rolled steel) 상에 Al에 대한 Mg 함량을 10~30wt.%로 하여 약 $5{\mu}m$ 두께의 막을 제작하였다. 이때 20wt.% 막의 경우 공정압력조건을 증가시켜 증착 막의 결정배향성을 변화시켰다. 뿐만 아니라 제작된 막들에 대해서 $400^{\circ}C$온도에서 10분간 열처리함으로서 코팅막의 성분변화에 따른 영향을 살펴보기 위해 시편을 추가 제작하였다. 이와 같이 제작된 막들에 대한 형성메커니즘과 내식성의 상관관계 해명을 위해 막의 조성분포, 표면 및 단면의 모폴로지 관찰 및 결정구조 등 재료특성분석과 더불어 염수분무(Salt spray test), 침지시험 그리고 양극분극 시험 등을 통해 내식성 평가를 진행하였다. 이상의 종합적인 결과를 살펴보면 제작된 Al-Mg 막은 마그네슘 함량비 및 열처리 조건에 따라 조성분포와 막의 모폴로지 및 결정배향성이 변화한다는 것을 알 수 있었는데, 마그네슘 함량이 증가하고 열처리한 막의 내식성이 가장 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 Al-Mg 성분이 표면을 중심으로 균일 분산-분포하며, Al에 대한 Mg의 고용으로 인해 안정적으로 형성된 부식생성물과 금속화합물의 단계적 반응 효과에 의해 차폐효과와 희생양극적 특성이 동시에 향상되었기 때문으로 생각된다. 한편 공정 압력을 증가시켜 형성한 막은 결정학적 구조에서 보다 높은 표면 에너지와 증가한 격자 정수에 의해 Mg이 부식환경에서 빠르게 반응하여 안정적 피막을 형성하기 때문에 내식성이 향상된 것으로 보여 진다. 이상의 연구를 통해서 고내식성을 Al-Mg막의 유효성 확인하였으며, 설계에 대한 기초적인 응용지침을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This paper presents the design considerations and field applications on inflatable structure system to protect rapidly flooding damages in large section tunnel. This inflatable structure system is very valuably used to protect passively and rapidly the possibilities of tunnel damages by flooding threats and unusual leakage to be occurred during and after underground infrastructure. In particular, this system should be necessary in subsea tunnel. The predominant factors in the design of inflatable structure system are the leakage and friction characteristics between the inflater and tunnel liner. The analytical and experimental studies are performed to develop the design considerations and to examine the design parameters of the inflatable structure system. The analytical solutions are developed using membrane theory to suggest the design considerations. The relative friction tests of several fabric materials are also carried out to determine the friction characteristics according to the different friction conditions between inflater and tunnel surface. The test results show that the friction coefficients in wet surface condition are about 20% lower than the values in dry surface condition. In addition, virtual design of tunnel protection system for two virtual subsea tunnel sites which is under reviewing in Korea, is carried out based on this research. It is expected that the results of this research will be very useful to understand the inflater structure design and development the technology of tunnel protection structures in the future.
