The infrared lock-on range of target aircraft plays a critical role in determining the aircraft survivability. In this investigation, the effects of various UAV engine nozzle configurations on the aircraft lock-on range were theoretically analyzed. A virtual subsonic aircraft was proposed first, based on the mission requirement and the engine performance analysis, and convergent-type nozzles were then designed. After determining thermal flow field and nozzle surface temperature distribution with the CFD code, an additional analysis was conducted to predict the IR signature. Also, atmospheric transmissivity for various latitude and seasons was calculated, using the LOWTRAN code. Finally, the lock-on and lethal envelopes were calculated for different nozzle configurations, assuming the sensor threshold of the given IR guided missile. It was shown that the maximum 55.3% reduction in lock-on range is possible for deformed nozzles with the high aspect ratio.

MANPADS (man-portable air defense system) is a counterweapon system against enemy aircraft, tracking the MWIR (mid-wavelength of infrared) signature of the plume. Under foggy conditions, however, multiple scattering phenomenon caused by the particles affects the MWIR transmittance, and the MANPADS detection performance. Therefore, in this study we analyzed the lock-on range of MANPADS with varying fog conditions and plume characteristics. To analyze the optical extinction properties and transmittance in fog, Mie scattering theory and analytic solution of the radiative-transfer equation are utilized. In addition, we used flare signature as an alternative MWIR light source. We confirmed that the lock-on range could be noticeably reduced under conditions of mist, and proportional to the flare temperature.

Lock-on characteristics of the flow around a circular cylinder performing a rotationally oscillation with a relatively high forcing frequency have been investigated experimentally using flow visualization and hot-wire measurements. Dominant parameters are Reynolds number (Re), amplitude of oscillation $(\theta_A)$, and frequency ratio $F_R=f_f\;/\;f_n$, where $f_f$ is the forcing frequency and if is the natural frequency of vortex shedding. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of $Re=4.14\times10^3,\;\pi/15\leq\theta_A\leq\pi/3$, and $F_R=1.0$. The effects of this active control technique on the lock-on flow regime of the cylinder wake were evaluated through wake velocity measurements and spectral analysis of hot-wire signals. The rotary oscillation modified the flow structure of near wake significantly. The lock-on phenomenon was found to occur in the range of frequency encompassing the natural vortex shedding frequency. In addition, when the amplitude of oscillation is less than a certain value, the lock-on phenomenon was occurred only at $F_R=1.0$. The lock-on range expanded and vortex formation length decreased as the amplitude of oscillation increases. The rotary oscillation generated small-scale vortex structure just near the cylinder surface.

Effects of rotary oscillation on unsteady laminar flow past a circular cylinder have been investigated in this study. Numerical simulations are performed for the flow at Re=100 in the range of 0.2<$\Omega$<2.5 and 0.02<$St_f$<0.8, where $\Omega$ and $St_f$ are, respectively, the maximum rotation velocity and rotation frequency normalized by the free-stream velocity and cylinder diameter. Results show that rotary oscillation has significant effects on the flow. When the rotation frequency is near the natural vortex-shedding frequency, lock-on occurs and the lock-on frequency range becomes wider as the rotation velocity increases. In a certain range of the rotation frequency and velocity, modulations in the velocity, lift and drag signals occur and this modulation frequency is expressed as a linear combination of the rotation frequency and vortex-shedding frequency. The mean drag and amplitude of the lift fluctuations show local minima near the boundary between the lock-on non and lock-on regions.

Macromodeling technology is useful to simulate and analyze the performance of new elements and complicated circuits or systems without any changes in today's general simulator, PSPICE. In this paper, Phase Locked Loop(PLL) is designed using macromodeling technique. The PLL macromodel has two basic sub-macromodels of the phase detector and the voltage controlled oscillator(VCO). The PLL macromodel has two open terminals for inserting RC low pass filter. The PLL macromodel is simulated using simulation parameters of LM565CN manufactured in the National company. At a free-running frequency, 2500Hz, upper lock range and lower capture range was 437Hz, 563Hz, respectively. Also, experimental results and simulation results of LM565CN PLL show good agreement.

Some treatment methods have been proposed for patients with chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint. We report a conservative treatment for patients who had chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint and who did not want surgical treatment. Two patients who had been treated in the Template clinic, Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital, are the subjects of this report. The subjects had chronic closed lock symptom for over 3 months after an onset of locking; conventional therapies had no effect. The subjects were treated by making them wear a Template appliance while sleeping and exercise for 10 hours a day. After periodic follow-up, significant improvement was observed for Template treatment in terms of the maximal mouth opening range. When conventional therapy is expected to be ineffective, The Template appliance can be used as conservative treatment for temporomandibular disorders patients with chronic closed lock of temporomandibular joint.

This paper describes a Delay Locked Loop (DLL) with low supply voltage and wide lock range for Synchronous DRAM which employs Double Data Rate (DDR) technique for faster data transmission. To obtain high resolution and fast lock-on time, a new type of phase detector is designed. The new counter and lock indicator structure are suggested based on the Dual-clock dual-data Flip Flop (DCDD FF). The DCDD FF reduces the size of counter and lock indicator by about 70%. The delay line is composed of coarse and fine units. By the use of fast phase detector, the coarse delay line can detect minute phase difference of 0.2 nsec and below. Aided further by the new type of 3-step vernier fine delay line, this DLL circuit achieves unprecedented timing resolution of 25psec. This DLL spans wide locking range from 500MHz to 500MHz and generates high-speed clocks with fast lock-on time of less than 5 clocks. When designed using 0.25 um CMOS technology with 1.8V supply voltage, the circuit consumes 32mA at 500MHz locked condition. This circuit can be also used for other applications as well, such as synchronization of high frequency communication systems.

We analyzed the fault current limiting characteristics of a flux-lock type $high-T_c$ super­conducting fault current limiter (HTSC-FCL) using series resonance between capacitor for series resonance and magnetic field coil which was installed in coil 3. The capacitor for the series resonance in the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL was inserted in series with the magnetic field coil to apply enough magnetic field into HTSC element, which resulted in higher resistance of HTSC element. However, the impedance of the flux lock type HTSC-FCL has started to decrease since the current of coil 3 exceeded one of coil 2 after a fault accident. The decrease in the impedance of the FCL causes the line current to increase and, if continues, the capacitor for the series resonance to be destructed. To avoid this operation, the flux-lock type HTSC-FCL requires an additional device such as fault current interrupter or control circuit for magnetic field. From the experimental results, we investigated the parameter range where the operation as mentioned above for the designed flux-lock type HTSC-FCL using series resonance occurred.

Lock-on characteristics of flow around a circular cylinder oscillating rotationally with a relatively high forcing frequency have been investigated experimentally. Dominant governing parameters are Reynolds number (Re), angular amplitude of oscillation (${\theta}_A$), and frequency ratio $F_R=f_f/f_n,\;where\;f_f$ is a forcing frequency and $f_n$ is a natural frequency of vortex shedding. Experiments were carried out under the conditions of $Re=4.14{\times}10^3,\;{\pi}/90{\leq}{\theta_A}{\leq}{\pi}/3,\;and\;F_R=1.0$. The effect of this active flow control technique on the lock-on flow characteristics of the cylinder wake was evaluated with wake velocity measurements and spectral analysis of hot-wire signals. The rotational oscillation modifies the flow structure of near wake significantly. The lock-on phenomenon always occurs at $F_R=1.0$, regardless of the angular amplitude ${\theta}_A$. In addition, when the angular amplitude is less than a certain value, the lock-on characteristics appear only at $F_R=1.0$,. The range of lock-on phenomena expands and vortex formation length is decreased, as the angular amplitude increases. The rotational oscillation create a small-scale vortex structure in the region just near the cylinder surface. At ${\theta}_A=60^{\circ}$, the drag coefficient was reduced about $43.7\%$ at maximum.

In general, the lock structure is built at place of having great deal range for dealing with effective ships operation such as in the west coast of Korea. In Inchon harbour, the two locks of 10 KT and 50 KT tonnage class in total has been constructed for several years age, however, it has been recorded many waiting vessels at outer harbour due to the increment of oceangoing vessels & shortage of berthing facilities in accordance with beyond expectation of cargo amount increment. This paper attempts to solves the waiting vessels problem at outer harbour by simulation in applying queing theory. It is found that the simulation results such as average queue time, service time, and queue length during lock operation can be applied to find the minimum of the cost function for determination of optimum Lock Size
