This study investigates the high-frequency heat treatment characteristics with the distance between a coil and SCM440 parts for an automobile. Global automobile makers are focusing on research to develop high-performance automobiles with improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions in accordance with consumer demand and environmental policies. However, most research on high-frequency heat treatment has been experimental, and it is very difficult to obtain high-frequency heat treatment conditions for a specific product. Therefore, all the conditions of high-frequency heat treatment except the distance between a coil and SCM440 parts were kept the same. As a result, the optimized distance between the coil and SCM440 parts was observed to be 1-2 mm. When the distance between the coil and SCM440 parts was over 3 mm, the effective case hardness depth and total case hardness depth did not satisfy the standards.

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of an air-conditioning system for a special purpose vehicle under tropical and severe weather conditions. In order to evaluate and compare the cooling performances, the dual refrigeration cycle using R-134a was tested on a special purpose vehicle with various refrigerant charge amounts and indoor temperatures. The cycle was tested considering indoor cooling speed and compression ratio (discharge pressure), and was optimized at the refrigerant charge amount of 1.5 kg and outdoor temperature of $40.0^{\circ}C$. The time to reach indoor temperature of $15.0^{\circ}C$ increased by 86.5% and 38.1%, at the indoor temperatures from $25.0^{\circ}C$ to $32.5^{\circ}C$ and from $32.5^{\circ}C$ to $40.0^{\circ}C$, respectively. In addition, with the increase in indoor temperature from $25.0^{\circ}C$ to $40.0^{\circ}C$, the cooling capacity increased by 7.3%, from 19.1 kW to 20.5 kW, but decreased by 7.0% from 4.67 to 5.1.

A design of unit magnification 2-mirror system with high resolution is presented. It is for soft X-ray(wavelength of 13 nm) projection imaging and suitable for preparation of high density semiconductor chip. In general, a holosymmetric system with unit magnification has the advantage that both coma and distortion are completely eliminated. In our holosymmetric 2-mirror system, spherical aberration is addtionally removed by using two identical paraboloidal mirror surfaces and field curvature aberration is also corrected by balancing Petzval sum and astigmatism which depends on the distance between two mirrors, so that the system is a aplanatic flat-field paraboloidal 2-mirror holosymmetric system. This 2-mirror system is small in size, and has a simple configuration with rotational symmetry about optical axis, and has also small central obscuration. Residual finite aberrations, spot diagrams, and diffraction-based MTF's are analyzed for the check of performances as soft X-ray lithography projection system. As a result, the image sizes for the resolutions of$0.25\mum$and $0.18\mum$are 4.0 mm, 2.5 mm respectively, and depths of focus for those are $2.5\mum$, $2.4\mum$respectively. This system should be useful in the fabrication of 256 Mega DRAM or 1 Giga DRAM. DRAM.

The objective of this study is to experimentally investigate the heating performances of the portable air combustion heater using diesel fuel for auxiliary cabin heating of the battery electric vehicle. In order to evaluate the heating performances of the air combustion heater, the heating capacity was calculated by the temperature at inlet and outlet parts of the considered heater and the inner temperature distribution characteristics of the vehicle were measured during 1600 seconds with an interval of 1 second. The theoretical efficiency of the tested heater was calculated by temperature data of the air of supplying and exhausting to the cabin. As the air passed the heat-sink, the air temperature at the end of heat-sink reached to $101.3^{\circ}C$ and the difference of temperature on heat-sink was 67.8%. The average heating capacity of the air combustion heater showed 2.0 kW. After 1800 seconds, the inner temperature of the vehicle cabin was continuously increased. The temperatures of the top side and the bottom side of the car cabin under consideration were increased upto $42.5^{\circ}C$ and $24.3^{\circ}C$, respectively, and the theoretical efficiency of the tested heater was on average 63.7%.

This study numerically investigates the thermal performance of a 2.0-kW butane-based combustion heating system for an electric vehicle under cold conditions. The system is used for cabin space heating and coolant-based battery thermal management. ANSYS CFX 17 software was used for parametric analysis. The mass flow rates of cold air and coolant were varied, and their effects were compared. The numerical results were validated with theoretical studies, which showed an error of 0.15%. As the outside air mass flow rates were increased to 0.005, 0.01, and 0.015 kg/s, the cabin supply air temperature decreased continuously while the coolant outlet temperature increased. When the coolant mass flow rates were increased to 0.005, 0.01 and 0.015 kg/s, the air temperature increased while the coolant outlet temperatures decreased. The optimal mass flow rates are discussed in a consideration of the requirements for high cabin heating capacity and efficient battery thermal management.

Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have strong incentives to engage in open innovation to enhance innovation efficiency and effectiveness due to their 'liability of smallness.' Previous research examined the performance effects of various open innovation practices, but whether coupled open innovation practices positively affect SMEs' firm performance is somewhat controversial. To resolve the issue, this study examined the effects of coupled open innovation activities on SMEs' firm performance using Heckman's two stage model to control endogeneity of the firms' self-selection bias in open innovation engagement. This study used the Korean Innovation Survey (KIS) 2020 collected by the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI), and tested the effects of SMEs' coupled open innovation activities, R&D and non-R&D cooperation, on their innovative and financial performance indicators. The results showed that SMEs' R&D cooperation positively affects the new-to-market (NTM) product innovation only. Moreover, SMEs' non-R&D cooperation has positive effects on the product innovation, business process innovation, new-to-the-market product innovation, and new-to-firm (NTF) product innovation. However, the results showed that both R&D and non-R&D innovation cooperation activities have no significant effects on SMEs' financial performance indicators. This study contributes to research on SMEs' open innovation and provides insights for SMEs' managers and policymakers.

Windows operating system generates various logs with timestamps. Timestamp tampering is an act of anti-forensics in which a suspect manipulates the timestamps of data related to a crime to conceal traces, making it difficult for analysts to reconstruct the situation of the incident. This can delay investigations or lead to the failure of obtaining crucial digital evidence. Therefore, various techniques have been developed to detect timestamp tampering. However, there is a limitation in detection if a suspect is aware of timestamp patterns and manipulates timestamps skillfully or alters system artifacts used in timestamp tampering detection. In this paper, a method is designed to detect changes in timestamps, even if a suspect alters the timestamp of a file on a storage device, it is challenging to do so with precision beyond millisecond order. In the proposed detection method, the first step involves verifying the timestamp of a file suspected of tampering to determine its write time. Subsequently, the confirmed time is compared with the file size recorded within that time, taking into consideration the performance of the storage device. Finally, the total capacity of files written at a specific time is calculated, and this is compared with the maximum input and output performance of the storage device to detect any potential file tampering.
