The exhaust muffler is designed to reduce the engine noise with the minimum back pressure. It is composed of several elements, and we chose the five types of muffler elements : expansion, extended, offset, reversal, and perforated type. These elements are modeled with I-DEAS, and the transmission loss is analyzed with SYSNOISE, and the back pressure with STAR-CD. We verified the numerical results of transmission loss and pressure loss by experiments for the case of extended muffler. We find a database with the numerical results, which can be used in the design of exhaust muffler in the field.

This paper propose a heuristic algorithm based on the Branch-Exchange (BE) method to solve Optimal feeder Routing(OFR) problem for the distribution system planning. The cost function of the OFR problem is consisted of the investment cost representing the feeder installation and the system operation cost representing the system power loss. We propose a properly designed heuristic strategy, which can handle the horizon-year expansion planning problem of power distribution network. We also used the loop selection method which can define the maximum loss reduction in the network to reduce calculation time, and proposed a new index of power loss which is designed to estimate the power loss reduction in the BE. The proposed index, can be considered with both sides, the low voltage side and voltage side branch connected with tie one. The performances of the proposed algorithms and loss index were shown with 32, 69 example bus system.

An asymptotic estimation problem of the unknown mean is studied under a general loss function. The proof of this result is based on the asymptotic expansion of the risk function. Also conditions for second order admissibility and minimaxity of a class of estimators depending only on the sample mean are established.

This study is intended to investigate the properties of expansion of concrete under various curing environment with expansive additives. In construction field, expansive additives, which are anaiable to prevent from the diverse cracks caused by drying shrinkage are not expected to accomplish the expantion we expected because of both the absence of the know ledge change, loss of weight and dynamic of elasticty under various unit contents of expansive additives and curing condtion.

A BEM program is developed for the performance analysis of axisymmetric mufflers. In the program the sub-region method is used to deal with singularity or inner boundary. The program is applied to typical axisymmjetric mufflers such as simple expansion, extended tube, perforated tube and absorptive expansion sufflers. The transmission losses of the mufflers are calculated by the program and compared with experiments. It is found that the prediction is in a good agreement with measurement, except for the absorptive muffler with parallel lining.

Smartphone is very much ingrained into our lives and it has propagated rapidly. With the growing expansion of smartphone, the number of lost smartphones has proliferated all the while. Unlike common personal belongings, smartphone is a high-priced goods and has personal information. In case it gets lost or stolen, it will cause monetary damage as well as secondary damage of personal information leaks. To lesson the damage, diverse applications that prevent the loss of a smartphone have been developed. But existing applications place emphasis on providing countermeasures that tracks the missing smartphones. Therefore, this paper describes the design and implementation of a smartphone application which provides precautionary functions to prevent the loss of a smartphone and countermeasures to track the missing smartphone. The implemented application prevents the loss of a smartphone using satefy zone and movement detection. In the event we lose a smartphone, it helps us recover a lost property using location tracking and remote control functions quickly and efficiently.

Economics of available alternatives in the transmission planning are evaluated by the investment cost, loss cost and congestion cost. Congestion/loss cost is calculated in many years and many load levels by unit commitment of generators, optimal dispatch, load flow, judgement about transmission congestion and re-dispatch to reduce the congestion. The greatest difficulties to introduce variable optimization techniques on the transmission planning is the convergence of load flow. In this paper, economics in the transmission planning are evaluated using DC load flow, and case study is conducted on the Korea power system by proposed congestion/loss calculation methods.

The premature loss of the mandibular primary canine is relatively frequent and a sign of the upcoming space problems in the transitional period. This situation is caused by the permanent lateral incisor resorbing the root of the primary canine during its eruption. Bilateral loss of primary canines in a crowded arch leads to the lingual tipping of the permanent incisors, with the consequent reduction in the arch perimeter and increase in overbite. When the loss of a primary canine is unilateral, tipping of the adjacent incisors occurs toward the space, resulting in midline deviation. In these situations, treatment possibilities, such as extraction of the antimeric tooth or placement of a passive lingual arch, can be applied; although there are some controversies concerning this. Most space problems with less than 4 mm can be resolved through preservation of the leeway space using sequential disking of the primary teeth and a passive lingual arch, regaining space or limited arch expansion in the late mixed dentition. In cases with 4~6 mm of space problems, arch expansion (A-P or transverse) can be applied. Space problems with more than 6 mm should be treated through diagnosis and treatment planning. Most of these cases will require extraction of permanent teeth including serial extraction (guidance of eruption).

The acoustic characteristics of expansion chamber will be changed with the variation of inlet/outlet location due to the higher order acoustic mode in a high frequency in which the plane wave theory is not available. In this paper, the acoustic performance of reactive type expansion chamber with circular cross-section is analyzed by using the modified mode matching theory. The sensitivity analysis of four-pole parameters with respect to the location of inlet and outlet is also suggested to increase the acoustic performance. The acoustic power transmission coefficient is used as cost function, and the location of inlet and outlet is used as design variables. The steepest descent method and SUMT algorithm are used for optimization technique. Several results showed that the expansion chamber with optimally located inlet/outlet had better acoustic performance than concentric expansion chamber.
