The objectives of this study are to find out and to analyze the heat transmission characteristics of the conventional and prefabricated Ondol systems. To compare the thermal characteristics of these Ondol, a real sized Ondol model is set in a chamber. Hot water whose temperature is varied from $45^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ with $5^{\circ}C$ interval is supplied to each Ondol system. At that time the temperature distribution of floor surface, the amount of supplied heat, the heat radiation aspect and the heat loss from the floor to the underground are measured and analyzed simultaneously. As a result, even if the supplied hot water temperature to the prefabricated Ondol panel is lower by about $5^{\circ}C$ than that of the conventional Ondol panel, the net radiant effect is same. Heat radiation efficiency of the prefabricated Ondol panel is over 5% better than that of the conventional Ondol panel. It takes 12 hours for the conventional Ondol and 45 minutes for the prefabricated Ondol, respectively to reach steady state.

Spray characteristics produced by conventional and electrostatic pressure-swirl nozzles for an oil burner have been studied, using kerosine as a test liquid. The charge injection mechanism is used to design the electrostatic nozzle, where specific charge density, breakup length, spray angle and mean diameter are measured and analyzed. Three nozzles with orifice diameters of 0.256, 0.308 and 0.333mm at injection pressures of 0.7, 0.9, 1.1 and 1.3 MPa are used in the study. In case of the electrostatic nozzle, voltages ranging from -5 to -12kV are applied. Comparison of the spray characteristics is made between the conventional and electrostatic nozzles. The results showed that, the electrostatic nozzle is superior to the conventional nozzle. This is due the effect of voltage on the liquid surface tension.

This research was about shielded trench gate power MOSFET for low voltage and high speed. We used T-CAD tool and carried out process and device simulation for exracting design and process parameters. The exracted parameters was used to design shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET. And The electrical characteristics of shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET were compared and analyzed for their power device applications. As a result of analyzing electrical characteristics, the recorded breakdown voltages of both devices were around 120 V. The electric distributions of shielded and conventional trench gate power MOSFET was different. But due to the low voltage level, the breakdown voltage was almost same. And the other hand, the threshold voltage characteristics of shielded trench gate power MOSFET was superior to convention trench gate power MOSFET. In terms of on resistance characteristics, we obtained optimal oxied thickness of $3{\mu}m$.

Deep submicron NMOSFETs with elevated source/drain can be fabricated using self-aligned selective epitaxial growth(SEG) of silicon for enhanced device characteristics with shallow junction compared to conventional MOSFETs. Shallow junctions, especially with the heartily-doped S/D residing in the elevated layer, give hotter immunity to Yt roll off, drain-induced-barrier-lowering (DIBL), subthreshold swing (SS), punch-through, and hot carrier effects. In this paper, the characteristics of both deep submicron elevated source/drain NMOSFETs and conventional NMOSFETs were investigated by using TSUPREM-4 and MEDICI simulators, and then the results were compared. It was observed from the simulation results that deep submicron elevated S/D NMOSFETs having shallower junction depth resulted in reduced short channel effects, such as DIBL, SS, and hot carrier effects than conventional NMOSFETs. The saturation current, Idsat, of the elevated S/D NMOSFETs was higher than conventional NMOSFETs with identical device dimensions due to smaller sheet resistance in source/drain regions. However, the gate-to-drain capacitance increased in the elevated S/D MOSFETs compared with the conventional NMOSFETs because of increasing overlap area. Therefore, it is concluded that elevated S/D MOSFETs may result in better device characteristics including current drivability than conventional NMOSFETs, but there exists trade-off between device characteristics and fate-to-drain capacitance.

It is well known that the bond characteristics of fiber govern the performance of fiber reinforced composite material. A preliminary study was carried out to investigate the pull-out behavior of amorphous and conventional single fiber in cement mortar in accordance with the JCI(Japan Concrete Institute) SF-8. The test was performed under displacement control, and results showed that the bond strength decreased with increasing fiber length. In addition, the amorphous steel fiber showed much higher pull-out load per unit weight compared to conventional steel fiber.

A turnout system which permits trains to pass from one track to another consists of the switch, the crossing, lead rails which are necessary to connect the switch and the crossing, two guard rails and a switch machine for operating the switch. A turnout is the sole moving part among the railway components and has complex configuration, so the safety has always been raised an issue. In Korea, it is planned to adopt the high speed tilting train, which operates at the maximum speed of 180km/h, at conventional lines by the year of 2010. However, for the application of the tilting train to conventional lines, it is prerequisite to establish a stable turnout system allowing the tilting train to pass through it without reducing speed. Therefore, the improved turnout system for the speed-up of conventional lines has been developed and the prototype of the turnout system has been constructed. In this study, evaluation of noise characteristics around the improved turnout system was performed through the field measurements. Field measurements of noise around the conventional and the high-speed turnout system were also carried out for the comparison.

In this paper, two types of vertical SIT(Static Induction Transistor) structures are proposed to improve their electrical characteristics including the blocking voltage. Besides, the two dimensional numerical simulations were carried out using ISE-TCAD to verify the validity of the device and examine the electrical characteristics. First, a trench gate region oxide power SIT device is proposed to improve forward blocking characteristics. Second, a trench gate-source region power SIT device is proposed to obtain more higher forward blocking voltage and forward blocking characteristics at the same size. The two proposed devices have superior electrical characteristics when compared to conventional device. In the proposed trench gate oxide power SIT, the forward blocking voltage is considerably improved by using the vertical trench oxide and the forward blocking voltage is 1.5 times better than that of the conventional vertical power SIT. In the proposed trench gate-source oxide power SIT, it has considerable improvement in forward blocking characteristics which shows 1500V forward blocking voltage at -10V of the gate voltage. Consequently, the proposed trench oxide power SIT has the superior stability and electrical characteristics than the conventional power SIT.

The design standard for the thickness of reinforced roadbed is divided into high-speed and conventional railroad because dynamic characteristics of train loadings differ depending on the train speed. Due to the national plan for increasing the train speed for both conventional and new railroad lines, it is necessary to examine the applicability of concrete tracks and feasibility of the train speed increase on the conventional lines with the current thickness of the reinforced roadbed. In this study, a real-scale test was performed to monitor the dynamic characteristics of the reinforced roadbed with a thickness of 20cm and the train speed of 200km/h, 300km/h, and 400km/h. The test results were then compared with the design code to investigate the applicability of the conventional reinforced roadbed when the trains operate with higher speed.
