  • Flyby anomaly (unexpected energy increase during Earth Gravity Assists) indicates existence of an unknown non-conservative perturbation which affects hyperbolic trajectories. This presentation focuses on first order position and velocity perturbation formulas derived in terms of classical orbital element variations for hyperbolic orbit. By using both the perturbation formulas and numerical approach, we analyze effects of hypothetical acceleration models proposed by Hasse (2009), Lewis (2009), Gerrad and Sumner (2008), and Busack (2007). Based on analysis of perturbation effect on low earth orbit, we find that typical position perturbation is about 10m which is much larger than current orbit determination accuracy. From this, we deduce that anomalous acceleration only affects hyperbolic orbit or behaves differently in bound orbit. On the other hand, based on analysis of perturbation effects on hyperbolic trajectories, we find that position and velocity perturbations are highly different from acceleration models, and all of proposed models fail to explain observed range and Doppler data. Thus, it can be concluded that not only energy variations but also kinematics gives us crucial clues on the flyby anomaly, and kinematical characteristic should be considered in modeling flyby anomaly.

  • The grid reference system (GRS) has been useful for identifying the geographical location of satellite images. In this study we derive a GRS for the KOMPSAT Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) images. The derivation substantially follows the way that SPOT defines for its GRS, but incorporates the KOMPSAT orbital characteristics. The KOMPSAT EOC GRS (KEGRS) is designed to be a (K,J) coordinate system. The K coordinate parallel to the KOMPSAT ground track denotes the relative longitudinal position and the J coordinate represents the relative latitudinal position. The numbering of K begins with the prime meridian of K=1 with K increasing eastward, and the numbering of J uses a fixed value of J=500 at all center points on the equator with J increasing northward. The lateral and vertical intervals of grids are determined to be 12.5 km about at the 38$^{\circ}$ latitude to allow some margins for the value-added processing. The above design factors are being implemented in a satellite programming module of the KOMPSAT Receiving and Processing System (KRPS) to facilitate the EOC data collection planning over the Korean peninsula.

  • Salicylic acids as anti-inflammatory agents were analyzed by ab initio, quantum chemical methods to study the possible modes of binding to the receptor. As the result of multiple regression analysis of reactivity indices and interpretation of normalized frontier orbital charges of drugs, potency seems to be related to energy of HOMO and LUMO at the 5 position of benzene ring, and in the 5-phenyl substituted case, the para position of substituting ring is important. The binding occurs first at the positive site of its receptor. The charge density exhibited by the frontier orbitals suggests that charge moves from receptor site to carboxyl group. The electrostatic orientation effect makes an important contribution to the binding of the active molecules to their receptors. Also the electrostatic potential model may be able to rationalize the source of activity or inactivity of the drugs under investigation.

  • Bead shape control with gas force process has been developed to overcome the concave back bead in pipe orbital welding. However, It is impossible to make a convex back bead using the existing gas nozzle, because it has high gas-consuming and low gas force. The purpose of this paper, to develop optimum shape of nozzle which to reduce the consumption of gas, maximizing the shield gas force with low cost and high productivity coincide the Green welding. In this paper venturi-type nozzle was designed by using the Venturi meter and compared velocity, pressure, arc shape in the flat position with existing CP-nozzle. As a result, Venturi-type nozzle's maximum velocity and pressure was improved at the same flow rate. Also heat input was increased by the arc contraction in the flat position.

  • Since the operation of the first satellite-based navigation services, satellite positioning has played an increasing role in both surveying and navigation, and has become an indispensable tool for precise relative positioning. However, in some situations, e.g. at a low angle of elevation, the use of satellites for navigation is seriously restricted because obstacles like buildings and mountains can block signals. As a mean to resolve this problem, the quasi-zenith satellite system has been proposed as a next-generation satellite navigation system. Quasi-zenith satellite is a system which simultaneously deploys several satellites in a quasi-zenith geostationary orbit so that one of the satellites always stay close to the zenith if viewed from a specific point on the ground of East Asia. Thus, if a position measurement function compatible with GPS is installed in the quasi-zenith and stationary satellites, and these satellites are utilized together with the GPS, four satellites can be accessed simultaneously nearly all day long and a substantial improvement in position measurement, especially in metropolitan areas, can be achieved. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of quasi-zenith satellite system on positioning accuracy improvement through simulation by using precise orbital information of the satellites and a three-Dimensional digital map. Through this simulation system, it is possible to calculate the number of simultaneously visible satellites and available area of the positioning without the need of actual observation.

  • In this paper, a method of station keeping strategy using relative orbital motion and numerical optimization technique is presented for geostationary spacecraft. Relative position vector with respect to an ideal geostationary orbit is generated using high precision orbit propagation, and compressed in terms of polynomial and trigonometric function. Then this relative orbit model is combined with optimization scheme to propose a very efficient and flexible method of station keeping planning. Proper selection of objective and constraint functions for optimization can yield a variety of station keeping methods improved over the classical ones. Results from the nonlinear simulation have been shown to support such concept.

  • In this paper, we propose a silicon-based electro-optic (EO) modulator which can modulate a sign of a topological charge number l of |l|=1 orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode. The proposed EO modulator consists of position-dependent doped Si waveguide core and undoped SiO2, cladding, which enables control of the effective index and propagation loss of two OAM constitutive eigenmodes. The modulator functions as OAM mode maintaining waveguide at -0.33V and as topological charge sign inverter at 10V. The output OAM mode purity is calculated through electric field distribution, showing high purity of |l|>0.92 in both cases.

  • Purpose: Traumatic telecanthus can result from nasoethmoid-orbital fractures. Repair of the medial canthal tendon (MCT) using transnasal wiring is regarded as a choice of method to treat telecanthus, however, is often complicated by incomplete anchoring and drift of canthus, extrusion of wire, in-fracture of orbital bone, and eye damage. The authors introduced oblique transnasal wiring method through the Hiraga's epicanthopalsty incision instead of well-known classical bicoronal approach. Methods: Five patients with traumatic telecanthus were treated with this method. Though the Hiraga's epicanthoplasty incision, we could approach the operative field; the medial orbital wall and detached MCT. Oblique transnasal wiring was performed as following steps. After slit skin incision on the contralateral nasal recession area, drill holes were made from this point to the superior and posterior point of lacrimal sac of deformed eye. A 2-0 wire was double-passed through the holes and MCT. Traction was applied to ensure pulling the MCT and the wires were twisted in the contralateral nose, securing the MCT in the correct position. Results: All patients except 1 person showed improvement and rapid recovery. On average each canthus was moved 5.6 mm medially. In all cases, there were no eyelashes disappear, lacrimal canaliculitis, lacrimal duct injury, or infections. Conclusion: The Hiraga's epicanthoplasty incision could give sufficient operative field to reattach the MCT in traumatic telecanthus patients. And the oblique transnasal wiring technique is effective for the Asians who have flat nose and exophthalmic eye. The authors conclude that this technique could be a simple, safe and scarless method to correct traumatic telecanthus.

  • The relative position of the orbital eye can be a criterion for evaluating several pathological conditions. It is especially useful to diagnose orbital fractures, thyroid eye disease, orbital tumors and to evaluate the outcome of medication and surgical treatment. Hertel and Naugle are representative measurement tools used to measure eyeball protrusion values, and have different measurement results, such as fixed orbits, every time they are inspected, even if the same inspector repeatedly measures them. Even with the same calibrator, it is inevitable that different manufacturers will change the design of the stationary part of the orbit, causing the surveyor to make a measurement error. In this paper, we designed and fabricated a protrusion measuring device using a white light interferometer and measured the protrusion of the human eye and found that the precision and repeatability were significantly higher than the manual measurement method.

  • Background The endoscopic transnasal approach is widely used for reconstructing the medial orbital wall by filling it with a silicone sheet or Merocel, but this technique has the disadvantage of retaining the packing for a long time. To overcome this drawback, a method of positioning an absorbable plate in the orbit has been introduced, but there is a risk of defect recurrence after the plate is absorbed. Here, the authors report the results of a novel surgical technique of placing a nonabsorbable titanium mesh with porous polyethylene into the orbit through the endoscopic transnasal approach. Methods Fourteen patients underwent surgery using the endoscopic transnasal approach. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) was used to calculate the size of the bone defect due to the fracture, and the titanium mesh was designed to be shorter than the anteroposterior length of the defect and longer than its height. The titanium mesh was inserted into the orbit under an endoscopic view. The authors then confirmed that the titanium mesh supported the orbital contents by pressing the eyeball and finished the operation. Immediately after surgery, CT results were evaluated. Results Postoperative CT scans confirmed that the titanium mesh was well-inserted and in the correct position. All patients were discharged without any complications. Conclusions We obtained satisfactory results by inserting a titanium mesh with porous polyethylene into the orbit via the transnasal approach endoscopically.
