After the port opening in 1876, the western people made joseon image as the land of morning calm. there was a conception that joseon was a uncultivated country in the meaning of the land of morning calm. famous modernists such as gil-jun yu, kwang-su lee also had same conception. but such conception began to change in 1930's. the number of motor vehicle began to increase rapidly in 1930's. and also many of motor vehicle were equipped with air horn or electronic horn instead of bulb horn. bulb horn made thick and low rubber sound. but air horn or electronic horn made sharp and high metallic sound. city people of colonial joseon began to recognize air horn or electronic horn as city noise. so they tried to control the use of air horn or electronic horn. finally, in late 1930's, the use of air horn and electronic horn were prohibited.

In this paper, the optimum design of ultrasonic dry cleaning head was investigated. The transducer instead of mechanical dynamic structure was used to generate ultrasonic wave and the horn-shape amplifier was utilized to solve the energy decaying problem of ultrasonic wave with propagating it through the media. The analyses of ultrasonic wave and a fluid for the selected structure of a cleaning head were carried out using SYSNOISE and ANSYS simulators, respectively. Based on simulator results, the distance between a horn and the substrate of 4 mm and the horn diameter of 10 mm were determined to maximize the energy of ultrasonic waves. The cooling structure was also considered to reduce the heat from the transducer and the horn. The equivalent circuit for the fabricated horn was deduced from HP4194A impedance/gain/phase analyzer and the frequency of an ultrasonic wave of 20.25 kHz was confirmed using the parameters of the equivalent circuit.

In this paper, a twice folded TEM horn antenna for 70 kV impulse high power system is proposed. The length reduction of 50 % is achieved by folding a conventional TEM horn antenna twice. The array elements are fed by the stripline power divider using the Chebyshev transformer. The power divider feeds four TEM horn antenna elements with an in-phased uniform power, and it covers a wide bandwidth ($150\;MHz\;{\sim}\;768\;MHz$, VSWR<2.0). Considering the air breakdown at peak 70 kV impulse, the proposed antenna maintains the 25 mm gaps between conducting plates. The dimension of the twice folded horn antenna is $1730\;{\times}\;1600\;{\times}\;300$ (mm3), and the operating frequency is from 152 MHz to 750 MHz under 10 dB return loss. The peak gains are measured from 6.77 dBi to 10.70 dBi at $400\;MHz\;{\sim}\;750\;MHz$.

In this paper, the array synthesis horn antenna was designed and measured a radiation power after connecting magnetron. The proposed antenna was designed on the basis of the $4{\times}4$ array synthesis horn antenna characteristics. For suppressing a back-lobe, 2 step short-stub structures were attached to synthesis horn aperture upper and lower. The designed antenna has FBR(Front to Back Ratio) of 39.7 dB. HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) of the E-plane and the H-plane are $8.86^{\circ}$ and $7.35^{\circ}$ each in the measurement. For measuring a radiation power of array antenna that use a magnetron, the waveguide adaptor was designed and connected magnetron with horn antenna. Also, microstrip line coupler that replace a dielectric material with an air gap was designed for measuring a high power. As a result, average radiation output power of the $4{\times}4$ array synthesis horn antenna that connect a four magnetrons had a 0.063W.

In this paper, H-plane filtering-horn antenna operating at millimeter frequency band is proposed with embedded filter and three-layered dielectric lens for frequency selection and maintenance of main beam direction, respectively. The waveguide-typed filter and H-plane sectoral horn antenna are replaced with considerably size-reduced PCB substrate-typed filtering antenna using via fences and several posts. The waveguide-typed filter and H-plane sectoral horn antenna were designed in air-filled waveguide and then combined into size-reduced PCB substrate. For the control of the thickness of dielectric lens, single and multi dielectric lens have been employed. As a result of antenna gain, 8 and 13.5 dBi have been obtained at 41.5 GHz, respectively, from the simulations of single and multi-lens antennas.

In this paper, the radar antenna of navigation radar on helicopter was suggested to Ka-band lens antenna. It is type of the streamlined convex lens to reduce the air resistivity when helicopter was navigated. Although aperture area is smaller than the standard antenna just like horns, the gain is higher and beamwidth is smaller than standard horns. We made the lens by using maximum flare angle of the horn and dielectric constant of the lens. As a result, when aperture diameter was 280mm and focal length was 145mm, the return loss -21.25dB, the gain was 32.2dBi, E and H beamwidth was $1.8^{\circ}$(E-plane), $1.4^{\circ}$(H-plane), nearly $1.5^{\circ}$, and side-lobe level was -18.4 dB(E-plane), -19.5dB(H-plane) lower were presented. So this suggested type can be used for the radar antenna of navigation radar on helicopter, and it will possible just a little some sidelobe suppression by using the choked horn as a feeder horn.

A high voltage pulse generator was fabricated to radiate ultrawide band electromagnetic pulse. A coaxial type of Blumlein pulse forming line is employed to produce a pulse of high voltage (>300 kV) and short pulse duration (~5 ns). A helical strip/wire type of air-cored pulse transformer was used to charge the Blumlein pulse forming line up to more than 300 kV. A peaking switch is essential to make the pulse rise time as fast as possible. Typically, the rise time is ~500 ps. The output pulse of the generator is radiated into air through an exponentially tapered TEM horn antenna. The electric field intensity of a radiated pulse was measured as a function of the distance from the transmitting horn as well as the output voltage of the peaking switch. The peak-to-peak value of the electric field intensity at 10 m from the TEM antenna was~100 kV/m.

Previous clinical studies have demonstrated that gabapentin, a drug that binds to the voltage-gated calcium channel ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$ subunit proteins, is effective in the management of neuropathic pain, but there is limited evidence that addresses the participation of glial cells in the antiallodynic effects of this drug. The present study investigated the participation of glial cells in the anti-nociceptive effects of gabapentin in rats with trigeminal neuropathic pain produced by mal-positioned dental implants. Under anesthesia, the left mandibular second molar was extracted and replaced by a miniature dental implant to induce injury to the inferior alveolar nerve. Mal-positioned dental implants significantly decreased the air-puff thresholds both ipsilateral and contralateral to the injury site. Gabapentin was administered intracisternally beginning on postoperative day (POD) 1 or on POD 7 for three days. Early or late treatment with 0.3, 3, or 30 ${\mu}g$ of gabapentin produced significant anti-allodynic effect in the rats with mal-positioned dental implants. On POD 9, in the mal-positioned dental implants group, OX-42, a microglia marker, and GFAP, an astrocyte marker, were found to be up-regulated in the medullary dorsal horn, compared with the naive group. However, the intracisternal administration of gabapentin (30 ${\mu}g$) failed to reduce the number of activated microglia or astrocytes in the medullary dorsal horn. These findings suggest that gabapentin produces significant antinociceptive effects, which are not mediated by the inhibition of glial cell function in the medullary dorsal horn, in a rat model of trigeminal neuropathic pain.
