This paper describes the method for detection of the misfired cylinder by analysis of the variation of pressure occurred in exhaust manifold on an MPI gasoline engine. Misfired cylinder(s) cause a loss of power, an increase of fuel consumption and exhaust emission and vibration is caused by unsteady torque. Therefore early detection and correction of misfired cylinder(s) play a very important role in the proper performance and the exhaust emission. The method is a comparison of integration pressure index during the period of a blowdown in the displacement period. Experimental results showed that the method, using the variation of pressure in the exhaust manifold is proven to be effective in the detection of single cylinder or multiple cylinders misfire on the gasoline engine regardless of the engine revolutions. In addition, this method, using the variation of pressure in the exhaust manifold is a very easy and accurate method compared with other methods.

In this study, we measured the blood flow on arm by non-invasive method and implemented a system to measure variation of the blood flow by estimating bio-electrical impedance and arterial pressure according to cuff pressure. The implemented system measured impedance variation according to pressure variation applied by artificial cuff pressure on the measuring position. The system consisted of pressure measuring part and impedance measuring part using 4-electrode method. Pressure measuring part was composed of semiconductor pressure sensor and electronic circuit for signal processing of sensor output signal. In addition, impedance measuring part was composed of constant current source circuit and lock-in amplifier for detecting impedance signal. We conducted experiments of impedance measuring part using standard resistance for performance evaluation of the implemented system. In addition we experimented to estimate variation of the blood flow by measuring impedances of the experimental group. We estimated ratio of the blood flow resistance using mean arterial pressure and variation of the blood flow. As a result the ratio of the blood flow resistance and variation of blood flow were in an inverse relationship with each other and the correlation coefficient was -0.96776.

본 연구에서는 혈압 측정 시 생체 임피던스가 변화하는 현상을 이용하여 혈류량 변화를 검출하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 혈압의 측정은 오실로메트릭법을 적용하였으며, MAA 알고리즘을 이용하여 평균 동맥압을 산출한 후 평균 동맥압에 대한 여러 가지 특성비율을 설정하여 수축기 및 이완기 혈압을 추정하였다. 인체 임피던스 측정은 교류 정전류원과 락인-증폭기를 이용하였으며, 측정 부위에 인가되는 커프 압력에 의해 생체 임피던스 변화량을 이용하여 혈류량 변화를 측정하였다.

본 연구에서는 생체 임피던스의 변화를 계측하여 혈류량의 변화를 추정하기 위한 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 인위적인 압력을 가하여 압력의 변화에 따른 임피던스의 변화량을 측정할 수 있도록 구성하였으며, 크게 압력 측정부와 4 전극법을 이용한 임피던스 측정부로 구분할 수 있다. 압력 측정부는 반도체식 압력센서와 센서의 출력신호를 처리하기 위한 전자회로부로 구성하였고, 임피던스 측정부는 교류 정전류원 회로와 임피던스 신호의 검출을 위한 락인 증폭기로 시스템을 구성하였다. 구현된 시스템의 성능평가를 위하여 표준저항을 이용한 임피던스 측정부의 특성조사 실험을 수행 하였다. 그리고 실제 실험군을 대상으로 임피던스의 계측을 통한 혈류량 변화 추정실험을 수행하였고, 혈류량 변화와 평균 동맥압을 이용한 혈류 저항비를 추정하였다 그 결과 혈류저항비와 혈류량의 변화는 반비례관계를 명확하게 보여 주었으며, 상관분석을 수행한 결과 상관계수가 -0.96776으로 강한 음의 상관관계를 나타내었다.

Pressure drop could happen in the water distribution systems due to pipe breaks or maintenance. The pressure drop causes the water service shutdown and nodal water demands should be reduced in some areas. The conventional analysis method of water distribution systems can not consider the change of nodal water demands caused by these pressure drops. This study is to investigate the variation of nodal water demands according to the nodal water pressure and its effect on the analysis of water distribution systems. For these purpose, one real water service district was selected as a study area. As a result, nodal water demand patterns according to the water pressure could be suggested. Also, we could confirm that the suggested new analysis method for the water distribution systems which considering water pressure drops could be more reliable than the conventional method.

This paper deals with the study of hydrodynamic pressure in reservoir adjacent to the concrete gravity dam subjected to dynamic excitation. Widely famous finite element method is used to discretize the reservoir domain for modelling purpose. Pressure is considered as nodal variable following Eulerian approach. A suitable nonreflecting boundary condition is applied at truncated face of reservoir to make the infinite reservoir to finite one for saving the computational cost. Thorough studies have been done on generation of hydrodynamic pressure in reservoir with variation of different geometrical properties. Velocity profile and hydrodynamic pressure are observed due to harmonic excitation for variation of inclination angle of dam reservoir interface. Effect of bottom slope angle and inclined length of reservoir bottom on hydrodynamic pressure coefficient of reservoir are also observed. There is significant increase in hydrodynamic pressure and distinct changes in velocity profile of reservoir are noticeable for change in inclination angle of dam reservoir interface. Change of bottom slope and inclined length of reservoir bottom are also governing factor for variation of hydrodynamic pressure in reservoir subjected to dynamic excitation.

The scale is removed from the strip by high pressure hydraulic descaling at the FSB (Finishing Scale Breaker). Recently, the spray height of nozzle has a trend to be shorter for the purpose of increasing the impact pressure by the high pressure water jet. Here, the nozzle intervals should be decided after considering the impact pressure and the temperature distribution on the strip. In other words, the minimum of impact pressure at the overlap of spray influences the surface grade of the strip due to scale and the overlap distance of the spray affects the temperature variation in the direction of the width of strip. In the present study, the impact pressure of the high pressure water jet is measured by the hydraulic descaling system and calculated with regard to the lead angle of 15$^{\circ}$ and the offset angle of 15$^{\circ}$, and then the temperature distribution and the temperature variation are calculated at the overlap distances of 0 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm, respectively. The method of setting nozzle intervals is shown by utilizing these results.

This paper proposes a new method to investigate combustion phenomena using the variation of crankshaft speed, From the idea that the variation of crankshaft speed contains the information of combustion, the energy method is applied as a single degree of freedom. Through the comparison of measured and calculated crankshaft speed, the proposed energy model is proved to be effective. When the crankshaft speed is used in the energy equation, filtering of the speed is required. The frequency components of cylinder pressure are analyzed and the coefficients of Fourier series above the twelfth frequency of engine speed are considered as a noise. As an example of application of this research, some combustion analyses like mean effective pressure, heat release rate, and misfire detection were carried out.

공기주입 부유구조물에 대한 압력변화의 비선형 특성과 파랑변형을 이론적 및 실험적으로 검토한다. 섭동법과 Green 공식에 의한 두가지 이론적 방법(방법I, II)이 잠수, 반잠수 부유구조물에 의한 파의 비선형성을 평가하기 위해서 적용된다. 더우기 부유 구조물 내의 공기압 변화를 고려하기 위하여 Boyle-Charles 법칙에 따른 단열변화를 가정하여 유도된 공기압축모델이 새로이 개발되었다. 가상경계에서 감쇠정상파를 고려한 방법 I의 이론치는 감시정상파의 영향이 미치지 않는 가상 연직경계면을 같는 방법 II의 값과 잘 일치한다. 두 이론에 의한 이론치는 실험치와 잘 일치함을 보여준다.

Objectives : Hypertension is very prevalent disease, and causes serious cardiovascular complications. Nowadays optimal hypertension treatment is emphasized to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular complications. Auricular acupuncture therapy is economical, safe and effective. Its clinical application is various, and it can be used to control blood pressure. So The effect of auricular acupuncture therapy was investigated. Daily variation of blood pressure during needle-embedded period and variation of blood pressure by blood pressure classification were observed. Methods : The auricular acupuncture points we used were Gangapjeom (降壓點), Sinmun (神門), Gyogam (交感), Sim(心), and Icheom (耳尖). Auricular acupuncture needles were embedded for three days. Blood pressure was checked four times per day and the mean obtained. Results : The following results were obtained : 1. During needle-embedded period, systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased. Blood pressure decreased most significantly 2 days after treatment. 2. The change of blood pressure in the higher blood pressure group was more remarkable than that of the lower blood pressure group. Conclusions : Through this research, auricular acupuncture therapy is considered as an effective and safe method to lower blood pressure.
