  • For magnetically suspended flywheel (MSFW) with gimballing capability, demerits of Lorentz force-type magnetic bearings and common reluctance force-type magnetic bearings are analyzed, a novel reluctance forcetype magnetic bearing (RFMB) including radial and axial magnetic bearing units with 4 separate biased permanent magnets and two conical stators is presented. By equivalent magnetic circuits' method, its magnetic properties are analyzed. To reduce the eddy loss, it was designed as radial poles with shoes and its rotor made of Iron-based amorphousness. Although the uniformity of magnetic flux density in the conical air gap determines mainly the additional tilting torque, the maximum additional tilting torques is 0.05Nm and the rotor tilting has no influence on its forces when the rotor tilts or the maximum changes does not exceed 14% when the rotor drifts and tilts simultaneously. The MSFW with this RFMB can meet the maneuvering requirement of spacecraft theoretically.

  • The present work presents the development of a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) methodology viable for complex geometries and suitable for the simulation of rod-bundles. The use of LES and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) allows for a deeper analysis of the flow field and the use of stochastical tools in order to obtain additional insight into rod-bundle hydrodynamics. Moreover, traditional steady-state CFD simulations fail to accurately predict distributions of velocity and temperature in rod-bundles when the pitch (P) to diameter (D) ratio P/D is smaller than 1.1 for triangular lattices of cylindrical pins. This deficiency is considered to be due to the failure to predict large-scale coherent structures in the region of the gap. The main features of the code include multi-block capability and the use of the fractional step algorithm. As a Sub-Grid-Scale (SGS) model, a Dynamic Smagorinsky model has been used. The code has been tested on plane channel flow and the flow in annular ducts. The results are in excellent agreement with experiments and previous calculations.

  • Korea Astnonomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) operates two solar radio observing facilities, the Korean station of the e-CALLISTO and the Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL). The e-CALLISTO station had suffered from tracking problem for past several years. Since 2011, KASI has developed a new tracking system, and recently the antenna has regained the its sun-tracking capability and full day-time coverage. The KSRBL also suffered from the control computer breakdown last year. After one year of operational gap, the KSRBL restored its normal daily observation. We also expanded the data server storage capacity, to store the full original data of 25 ms integration time and 0.25 MHz frequency resolution, amounting to about 80 GB per day.

  • This simulation based study reports a novel tunable, compact, room temperature terahertz (THz) transistor source, operated on the concept of charge plasma oscillation with the capability of radiating within a terahertz gap. A vertical cavity with a quasi-periodic distributed-Bragg-reflector has been attached to a THz plasma wave transistor to achieve a monochromatic coherent surface emission for single as well as multi-color operation. The resonance frequency has been tuned from 0.5 to 1.5 THz with the variable quality factor of the optical cavity from 5 to 290 and slope efficiency maximized to 11. The proposed surface emitting terahertz transistor is able to satisfy the demand for compact solid state terahertz sources in the field of teratronics. The proposed device can be integrated with Si CMOS technology and has opened the way towards the development of silicon photonics.

  • Polyimide(PI) films have been considered as the interlayer dielectric materials due to low dielectric constant, low water absorption, high gap-fill and planarization capability. The PI film was etched with using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The etching characteristics such as etch rate and selectivity were evaluated to gas mixing ratio. High etch rate was 8300$\AA$/min and vertical profile was approximately acquired 90$^{\circ}$ at CF$_4$/(CF$_4$+O$_2$) of 0.2. The selectivies of polyimide to PR and SiO$_2$ were 1.2, 5.9, respectively. The etching profiles of PI films with an aluminum pattern were measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The chemical states on the PI film surface were investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Radical densities of oxygen and fluorine in different gas mixing ratio of 07CF4 were investigated by optical emission spectrometer (OES).

  • Line of Balance (LOB) method is suitable to schedule construction projects composed of repetitive activities. Since existing LOB based repetitive project scheduling methods are deterministic, they do not lend themselves to handle uncertainties involved in repetitive construction process. Indeed, existing LOB scheduling dose not handle variability of project performance indicators. In order to bridge the gap between reality and estimation, this study provides a stochastic LOB based scheduling method that allows schedulers for effectively dealing with the uncertainties of a construction project performance. The proposed method retrieves an appropriate probability distribution function (PDF) concerning project completion times, and determines favorable start times of activities. A case study is demonstrated to verify and validate the capability of the proposed method in a repetitive construction project planning.

  • Haptic actuators for large display panels play an important role in bridging the gap between the digital and physical world by generating interactive feedback for users. However, the generation of meaningful haptic feedback is challenging for large display panels. There are dead zones with low haptic sensations when a small number of actuators are applied. In contrast, it is important to control the traveling wave generated by the actuators in the presence of multiple actuators. In this study, we propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based algorithm for the haptic localization of plates with electrostatic vibration actuators. We modeled the transverse displacement of a plate under the effect of actuators by employing the Kirchhoff-Love plate theory. In addition, starting with twenty randomly generated particles containing the actuator parameters, we searched for the optimal actuator parameters using a stochastic process to yield localization. The capability of the proposed PSO algorithm is reported and the transverse displacement has a high magnitude only in the targeted region.

  • Service innovation is one means of gaining an advantage in a highly competitive environment. Although numerous studies have stressed the importance of service innovation, traditional good-dominant logic is still used in service innovation literature. Furthermore, few studies have been conducted on the link between service innovation and its antecedents in terms of service-oriented approach. To fill the gap, this article theoretically and empirically examines service innovation and its antecedents and consequences. Based on service-dominant logic and resource advantage theory, the current study aims to understand the effect of antecedents on service innovation as well as to identify the effect of service innovation on firm performance (i.e., non-financial and financial performance). Three service innovation activities, namely service creation-focused innovation, service delivery-focused innovation, and customer interaction-focused innovation, and four antecedents of service innovation, including human resource management capability, collaboration capability, marketing capability, and information technology capability, are identified based on Den Hertog (2000)'s service innovation framework. By using the empirical data collected from 189 service firms in Korea, this study explores the causal relationship among antecedents, service innovation and firm performance. Findings indicate that human resource management and marketing capabilities influence the three types of service innovation, whereas collaboration and information technology capabilities have a significant effect on both service creation-focused innovation and service delivery-focused innovation. In particular, human resource management capability is strongly related to customer interaction-focused innovation. The three types of service innovation have a positive influence on non-financial performance, whereas service delivery-focused innovation and customer interaction-focused innovation positively influence financial performance. These results support the crucial effects of antecedents, such as human resource management, collaboration, marketing and information technology capabilities, on service innovation.
