In this paper, we discussed the hazard of ignition on the bimetal type thermostat molded by phenol resin with case study and accelerated aging test. We experimented three type thermostats molded by phenol resin which are used on hot/cold water dispenser. On the case study, the thermostat was origin of 6re and dry tracking occurred around it's moveable contactor. On the accelerated aging test, the more thermostat was switched, the more damaged it become. One of the A-type thermostats that is similar type on the case study fired around moveable contactor. We therefore confirmed that the tracking around the moveable contactor of bimetal type thermostat molded by phenol resin could be origin of fire and it is available to reduce of fire that using noncombustible material for molding of bimetal type thermostat.

Characteristics of Contactor's Defect Liability was too many discussed. But it's not clearly defined yet. Because recent Government Construction Projects are very complex and executed through long time, too many conflicts were appeared related to Contactor's Defect Liability. Therefore to analyse and to resolve the conflicts legal aspects of Contactor's Defect Liability stated in Civil Law and Government Contract Act was systematically compared. The result of this research is as follows : (1) Characteristic of Contactor's Defect must be regarded as a breach of Contract and be an incomplete contract implementation. (2) To decide the range of Damage, Characteristic of Defect must be regarded. (3) Contactor's Defect Liability must be effectual from the day of delivery. (4) Retainage must be added to secure the completion during the Contract Period and Defect Repairing Liability must be omitted in the Contract performance Security.

The micro-porous asymmetric PVDF hollow fiber membranes for gas-liquid contactor were prepared by the dry-jet wet phase inversion process and the characteristics of hollow fiber membranes were evaluated by the gas permeation method and scanning electron microscope. The chemical absorbent for removal of $SO_2$ gas was sodium hydroxide at bench scale hollow fiber membrane contactor. The experiments were performed in a counter-current mode of operation with gas in the shell side and liquid in the fiber lumen of the module to examine the effect of various operating variables such as concentration of absorbent, gas flow rate, L/G ratio and concentration of inlet $SO_2$ gas on the $SO_2$ removal efficiency using PVDF hollow fiber membrane contactor. Membrane mass transfer coefficient($k_m$) was calculated by mathematical modeling. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing the concentration of absorbent and L/G ratio. The increase of the absorbent concentration and L/G ratio not only provides more sufficient alkalinity but also decreases liquid phase resistance. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing gas flow rate due to decreasing the gas phase resistance.

This study was focused on improving nitrification efficiencies of M-dephanox (Modified-Dephanox) process. Rotating biological contactor (RBC) was used instead of floating sponge type media in nitrification reactor. High ammonia removal efficiencies were observed in nitrification reactor, regardless of organic loading from contactor of M-dephanox process. Denitrification efficiencies were also increased to maintain low $NO_3-N$ concentration in effluent. This enhanced phosphate release in anaerobic contactor and resulted in high removal efficiencies of phophorus. Average removal efficiencies of $TCOD_{Cr}$ and $SCOD_{Cr}$ were 93.8% and 81.6%, respectively, while those of TKN and ${NH_4}^+-N$ were 80.9% and 74.4%, respectively. As for phosphorous treatment, the average removal efficiencies of TP and OP were 94.7% and 94.3%, respectively. Also, effect of operating temperature on nitrogen removal was examined. Average removal efficiency of TN was 65.8 % at $15^{\circ}C$ or below (at average temperature of $13.3^{\circ}C$), while that was 82.8% at $15^{\circ}C$ or above (at average temperature of $21.9^{\circ}C$).

A flue gas emission known to cause an acid rain, containing sulfur dioxide, is tightly controlled by a regulation. The membrane contactor could be one of the alternatives which might be useful technologies for better performance of desulfurization. The fundamental sulfur dioxide separation data were obtained by a flat membrane contactor so that they could be utilized for the full scale membrane contactor. The separation of sulfur dioxide was measured in terms of the concentration of NaOH absorbent, the concentration of sulfur dioxide, the feed flow rate and different membrane materials. As the concentration of absorbent increased, the removal efficiency increased. By increasing the concentration of sulfur dioxide, the removal efficiency decreased. As the feed flow rate increased, it was observed that the removal efficiency decreased. Finally, the effect of the membrane material on separation was found to be negligible.

Porous $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully prepared by dry-wet spinning/sintering method. The SEM image shows that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane consists mostly of sponge pore structure. The contact angle and the breakthrough pressure were $126^{\circ}$ and 1.91 bar, respectively. This results indicate that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully modified to hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobic modified $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were assembled into a membrane contactor system to separate $CO_2$ from a model gas mixture of the flue gas at elevated gas velocity. The $CO_2$ absorption flux was enhanced when the gas velocity increased from $1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $6{\times}10^{-3}$ m/s. Whereas the $CO_2$ absorption flux was decreased with the number of hollow fiber membrane of a module because of the concentration polarization. Furthermore, we developed an lab-scale $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane contactor modules and their system (i.e., $CO_2$ absorption using the $Al_2O_3$ membrane and monoethanolamine (MEA)) that could dispose of over $0.02Nm^3/h$ mixture gas (15% $CO_2$) with the removal efficiency higher than 95%. The results can be useful in a field of the membrane contactor for $CO_2$ separation, helping to design and extend a equipment.

Aspergillus sojae B-l0 was immobilized and used to treat model dye compounds. The model wastewater, containing 10 ppm of azo dyes such as Amaranth, Sudan III, and Congo Red, was treated with cells attached to a rotating disc contactor (RDC). Amaranth was decolorized more easily than were Sudan III and Congo Red. Decolorization of Amaranth began within a day, and the dye was completely decolorized within 5 days of incubation. Both Sudan III and Congo Red were almost completely decolorized after 5 days of incubation. Semicontinuous decolorization of azo by reusing attached mycelia resulted in almost complete decolorization in 20 days. This experiment indicated that decolorization was successfully conducted by removing azo dyes with Aspergillus sojae B-10.

A garter spring, which is a long, special, close-coiled extension spring with its ends joined to form a ring, is used in tulip contactor between vacuum circuit breaker and bus bar in switchgear. To carry short-time current and resist welding at the contact surface in the tulip contactor, the garter spring must transmits an uniform contact force to the contact surface through the contact chips arranged in the circumference of bus bar. In this paper, the system for measurement of the contact force by the garter spring is developed. Using the developed measurement system, the design of the connection structure including the garter spring is reviewed to obtain the uniform contact forces in all of contact chips.

In this study, fermentation using a rotary biofilm contactor was conducted to improve bacterial cellulose production. We investigated the optimal fermentation conditions by using a newly isolated Gluconacetobacter sp. RKY5 in the rotary biofilm contactor. The optimal total area of discs was found to be 1,769 $cm^2$ at which bacterial cellulose and cell concentration was obtained to 5.52 g/L and 4.98 g/L, respectively. In case of aeration experiment, when the aeration rate was 1.25 vvm, the maximal bacterial cellulose (5.67 g/L) was obtained and cell concentration was 5.25 g/L.
