A commercially available Doppler radar was modified and evaluated for on-board monitoring of ground speed. The radar output was corrected for pitch angle of aircraft based on the output of an electrolytic tilt sensor. The effects of aircraft speed, height and mounting angle on error in the ground speed were evaluated. The speed error decreased with an increase of the mounting angle since the radar contact angle with respect to the ground approached to the mounting angle. The error increased with an increase of the nominal aircraft speed. The altitude insignificantly affected the speed error. The Doppler radar provided acceptable percent errors within 5% in most measurements. The error can be reduced within ${\pm}$1.5% by increasing the mounting angle ($43^{\circ}$). The error of -3.8% at the mounting angle of $29^{\circ}$could be reduced by adjusting the mounting angle with respect to the radar contact angle.

This study was performed to evaluate the dynamic behavior of turbo pump unit. The acceptable separate margin of $1^{st}$ critical speed was obtained by the use of elastic-ring inserted ball bearing, while the poor separate margin of $1^{\st}$ critical speed was appeared in the case without the elastic-ring. In addition, the results show that the stiffness and damping of plain seals give more separate margin of $2^{nd}$ critical speed. However the wear or the failure of seals could reduce the $2^{nd}$ critical speed near the operating speed.

In this study, a method for evaluating the performance of speed measurements was developed to assess the qualities of a vehicle detector. The evaluation method considers measurement errors that are reflected in a reference speed. For this, the concept of uncertainty in measurement was applied to the development method. Other factors such as precedent study, statistical processing techniques, and speed measurement performance method of traffic enforcement equipment and vehicle detection systems were also reviewed. Through this process, the problems of the existing evaluation methods were derived and developed for the new performance evaluation method. Vehicle detectors that are installed in the field were evaluated using the traditional assessment methods and the developed method. As a result, for traditional assessment methods, it was found that evaluation criteria are acceptable, while developed method's criteria are not acceptable. This means that traditional assessment methods do not sufficiently consider errors in measurement, so it has potential to over-estimate for performance of evaluation equipment. On the other hand, it was represented that the developed method should include variable factor such as errors in measurement and more precise compared to traditional assessment methods.

During the high speed train operation in the conventional line, it was found to have extremely severe flange wear, due to the curvy routes. This paper looks at the actions that have been taken to bring the wear to an acceptable level. In particular, it have been presented for flange wear variation depending on curve radius, cant, transition curve length by using numerical method. And the impacts on the flange wear by the application of stick type solid lubricant are also presented.

High speed seam weldability of tin coated steels was investigated. Welding was performed by the laboratory wire seam welder that was equipped with process monitoring system Test results showed that increase in applied current and pressure reduced the total resistance across the welding electrodes. Lower and upper limits of welding current increased as the sheet thickness increased, while the acceptable welding condition range decreased. However, extremely low electrode pressure produced unstable welding condition range. The results also demonstrated that slower welding speeds widened the optimum welding heat input range.

This study examined the Korean drivers' acceptance of SAS(Speed Assistance systems) and traffic sign conditions in Korea roads for SLIF(Speed Limit Information Function) that is a part of SAS. Exceeding the speed limit is a factor in the severity of many road accidents and SAS would help the driver to observe a speed limit by warning and/or effectively limiting the speed of the vehicle. SAS are in the initial phase in Korea, Korean drivers could not be familiar with automatical speed limiting during driving, SAS interface design would be considered to be more readily acceptable to the public. And advanced SAS have been introduced onto the market which are able to inform the driver of the current speed limit based on camera and/or digital maps based SLIF. These systems are based on external data using sensors, so environmental conditions are an important factor which could cause malfunction of SLIF functions.

Blowfish is a symmetric block cipher that can be used as a drop-in replacement fur DES or IDEA. It takes a variable-length key, from 32bit to 448bit, making it ideal for both domestic and exportable use. This paper is somewhere middle-of-the-line, where this paper made significant tradeoffs between speed, size and ease of implementation. The main focus was to make an implementation that was usable, moderately compact, and would still run at an acceptable clock speed. For the real time process of blowfish, it is required that high-speed operation and small size hardware. So, A structure of new adders constructed in this study has all advantages abstracted from other adders. As for this new adder, area cost increases by 1.06 times and operation speed increases by 1.42 times.

This study was performed to evaluate the dynamic behavior of turbo pump unit. The acceptable separate margin of 1st critical speed was obtained by the use of elastic-ring inserted ball bearing, while the poor separate margin of 1$\^$st/ critical speed was appeared in the case without the elastic-ring. In addition, the results show that the stiffness and damping of plain seals gain more separate margin of 2nd critical speed. However the wear or the failure of seals could reduce the 2$\^$nd/ critical speeds near the operating speed.

This paper deals with the suppression of subharmonic current oscillation of V/F controlled high speed induction motor drive in turbo blower applications. High speed induction motor has a relatively low stator impedance for high speed operation and therefore the dc link voltage ripple may result in subharmonic current oscillation at the steady state in high speed operation. This paper shows that the subharmonic oscillation is caused by the dc link voltage ripple and also proposes the suppression method, which generates the compensation voltage through the proportional current controller to reduce the subharmonic current oscillation. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed suppression method reduces the subharmonic current oscillation to the acceptable low level in turbo blower applications.

Effect of process parameters on the quality of condenser discharge weld for coated sheet steels was discussed. The welding specimens were coated with pure Zn of 20/20 g/m2 in the production line. Direct measurements of welding parameters such as the discharge current, the pressures and the voltage drop across the electrodes were carried out with welding process monitoring system. High speed camera was also utilized to analyze the weld formation process. Test results indicated that the relation between weld strength and applied energy was stabilized at the acceptable welding heat input range. It was thought that the acceptable welding heat input should be redefined based on the monitored data because the calculated value of the welding heat input could hardly be utilized if the discharge condition was changed. Mechanical test results and high speed photographs showed that expulsion deteriorated the weld quality and the strength at the same time especially when the size of the spatter was large enough to carry the molten metal, which should form the nugget, out of the welding spot. Results also demonstrated that the discharge current should be applied at the appropriate time during the process because sufficient nugget was not produced if the time was deviated from the optimum range.
