This paper presents a simple modified unipolar carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (CB-PWM) strategy for the three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI). Analytical expressions for the relationship between modulation reference signals and output voltages are derived. The proposed modulation technique for the three-level NPC VSI includes the maximum and minimum of the three-phase sinusoidal reference voltages with zero-sequence voltage injection concept. The proposed modified CB-PWM strategy incorporates a novel method that requires only of one triangular carrier wave for generate the gating pulses in three-level NPC VSI. It has the advantages of being simplifying the algorithm with no need of complex two/multi-carrier pulsewidth modulation or space vector modulation (SVM) and it's also simple to implement. The possibility of the proposed CB-PWM technique has been verified though computer simulation and experimental results.

니켈촉매 막을 증착시킨 산화규산 기판위에 아세틸렌기체와 수소기체를 원료로 육불화황기체를 첨가기체로 탄소코일을 증착하였다. 육불화황이 투입되는 단계에 따라 성장된 탄소코일의 특성(형성 밀도, 형상)을 조사하였다. 육불화황을 연속적으로 주입하였을 경우 선형, 마이크로크기 코일, 나노크기 코일, 그리고 파동형 나노크기 코일 등 다양한 형태의 탄소코일들이 성장하였다. 하지만, 탄소코일 초기 증착단계에서 1분정도의 짧은시간 동안 육불화황을 주입한 경우 나노크기의 탄소코일 형상만을 대부분 얻을 수 있었다. 탄소코일 합성반응시간이 1분 정도 지체된 후의 단계에서 짧은시간 동안의 육불화황 주입은 코일형상 제어를 저해하였다. 따라서, 육불화황의 주입 시간과 주입단계가 탄소 코일의 형상을 결정하는 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있었다.

Since the Liquid Phase LPG injection (LPLI) system has Advantages in power generation and emission characteristics compared to the mixer-type fuel-supply system, a variety of studies regarding LPLi system has been conducted and its applications are made in automobile industry. However, the heat extraction due to the evaporation of liquid fuel, causes not only a post-accumulation of fuel but also an icing phenomenon which is a frost of moisture in the air around the nozzle tip. Since there exists a difficulty in the accurate control of air fuel ratio in both fuel supply systems, it can result in poor engine performance and a large amount of harmful emissions. This research examines the characteristics of icing phenomenon and develops anti-icing bushing to prevent an icing on the surface of the injection tip. It was found that n-butane, which has a relatively high boiling point ($-0.5^{\circ}C$), was a main species of post-accumulation. Also the results show that the post-accumulation problem was allevaited the utilization of a large inner to outer bore ratio and smooth surface roughness. In addition, an icing phenomenon and its formation process were found to be mainly affected by the humidity and the temperature of inlet air in an inlet duct. Also, it was observed that an icing phenomenon is lessened using aluminum bushing whose end coincides with the end of fuel injection tip in length.

육묘장의 두상관수장치는 균일하게 관수되어야 모종도 균일하게 성장한다. 본 연구에서는 부채꼴 분사노즐을 이용한 두상관수장치의 노즐 설치위치에 따른 관수상태를 조사하여 균일관수방법을 구명하였다. 살수량은 주행속도에 반비례하였고, 관수균일도는 노즐과 관수면과의 거리에 큰 영향을 받으며 주행속도의 영향은 없었다. 단일노즐에 의한 두상관수인 경우 노즐 끝에서 관수면이 60cm 이상 멀어질수록 관수균일도가 향상되며, 연속노즐에 의한 두상관수인 경우 관수면이 노즐분사 각도의 2차 교차점에 위치할 때 관수균일도가 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 두상관수장치의 균일관수를 위해서는 작물의 머리높이가 분사노즐의 2차교차점에 일치하도록 노즐의 위치를 정해야 하며 작물의 자람에 따른 노즐대 놀이를 조절해 주는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the effect of joint mobilization on pain relief and cartilage repair in an induced osteoarthritis rat model by analyzing the expression of heat shock protein 70 in articular cartilage. Methods: MIA was injected into SD rats to induce osteoarthritis. These rats were divided into 4 groups: control group (n=30), no further treatment after the MIA injection ; experimental group I(n=30), performed swimming exercise after the MIA injection experimental group II (n=30), underwent joint mobilization after the MIA injection and experimental group III (n=30), performed swimming exercise and underwent joint mobilization after the MIA injection. For the histologic and pathophysiologic evaluation, safranin-O staining and for the immunohistochemical evaluation, the expression of HSP 70 in articular cartilage was analyzed 1, 7, 14, and 21 days after the MIA injection. Results: The inflammatory response and loss of tissue declined in experimental groups I and II over time, whereas the greatest decreases were noted in experimental group III. In the articular cartilage, low expression of HSP 70 was observed in every group on day 1, whereas HSP 70 expression was elevated on days 7 and 14 in experimental groups II and III. After 21 days, experimental group II displayed the strongest positive reaction, whereas HSP 70 was higher in experimental group III at this time point compared to that after 14 days. Conclusion: Our results showed that swimming exercise and joint mobilization had positive effects on pain relief and histologic and functional recovery in an induced osteoarthritis rat model.

Background: Ultrasound (US)-guided techniques reported for the treatment of calcific tendinitis have mostly demonstrated good results. This study investigates the effect of US-guided barbotage using a spinal needle in patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Methods: Thirty-six patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder treated by US-guided barbotage with a spinal needle and subacromial steroid injection were included in the study. We evaluated clinical outcomes based on American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, Constant score, and visual analog scale (VAS) for pain score. Radiological outcomes were assessed by X-ray imaging at each visit. Results: Our results showed that US-guided barbotage and subacromial steroid injection produced good clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Of the 36 patients, only one required surgical treatment, while the others showed improvement without any complications. Compared to values before the procedure, calcific deposit size and VAS, ASES, and Constant scores showed significant improvement 6 weeks after the procedure. No significant correlation was found between the initial calcific deposit size and clinical outcomes at each time point. Conclusions: In patients with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, US-guided barbotage using a spinal needle and subacromial steroid injection can yield satisfactory clinical and radiological results.

Injection molding is a cyclic process comprising of cooling phase as the largest part of this cycle. Providing efficient cooling in lesser cycle times is of significant importance in the molding industry. Recently, lots of researches have been done for rapid cooling of a hot-spot area using CO2 in injection molding. The CO2 flows under high pressure through small, flexible capillary tubes to the point of use, where it expands to create a snow and gas mixture at a temperature of -79℃. The gaseous CO2 removes heat from the mold and releases it into the atmosphere. In this paper, a CO2 cooling module was applied to an injection mold in order to cool a large area cavity uniformly and quickly, and the cooling performance of the injection mold was investigated. The product was a high-curvature molded part with a molding area of 300x100mm. Heat cartridges were installed in a stationary mold, and CO2 cooling module was inserted inside a movable mold. Through structural analysis, it was confirmed that the maximum deformation of mold with CO2 cooling module was 0.09mm. A CO2 feed system with a heat exchanger was used for cooling experiments. The CO2 was injected into the holes on both sides of the supply pipe of the cooling module and discharged through hexagon blocks to cool the mold. It took 5.8 seconds to cool the mold from an average temperature of 140℃ to 70℃. Through the experiment using CO2 cooling module, it was found that a cooling rate of up to 12.98℃/s and an average of 10.18℃/s could be achieved.

This study was conducted to assess the effect of mixed fuel composition and mass fraction on spray inner structure in evaporating transient spray under the various ambient conditions. Spray structure and spatial distribution of liquid phase concentration are investigated using a thin laser sheet illumination technique on the multi-component mixed fuels. A pulsed Ar+ laser was used as a light source. The experiments were conducted in a constant volume vessel with optical access. Fuel was injected into the vessel with electronically controlled common rail injector. Used fuel contain $i-octane(C_8H_{18}),\;n-dodecane(C_{12}H_{26})$ and $n-hexadecane(C_{16}H_{34})$ that are selected as low-, middle- and high-boiling point fuel, respectively. Experimental conditions are 25Mpa, 42MPa, 72MPa and 112MPa in injection pressure, $5kg/m^3,\;15kg/m^3\;and\;20kg/m^3$ in ambient gas density, 400K, 500K, 600K and 700K in ambient gas temperature, 300K and 368K in fuel temperature, and different fuel mass fraction. Experimental results indicate that the more high-boiling point component, the longer the liquid phase it were closely related to fuel physical properties, but injection pressure had no effect on. And there was a high correlation between the liquid phase length and boiling temperature at 75% distillation point.
