The Korean government has provided various policy devices to boost technology transfers between academia and industry since the establishment of the Technology Transfer Promotion Act in 2000. Along with the enactment of the law, the Korean government mandated the establishment of a technology transfer office at national and public universities and encouraged technology transfer activities. Despite the quantitative expansion of technology transfer offices (TTOs), operational inefficiency was brought up. As a supplementary policy, the Korean government implemented a line of projects to support the labor and business expenses of leading TTOs. This research questions whether the project greatly affected the technical efficiency of TTOs. We analyze publicly available university panel data from 2007 to 2015 using a one-step stochastic frontier analysis. The results suggest that the program was marginally effective at shifting the technical efficiency distribution to the right on average, but it failed to maximize its impact by diversifying the policy means based on targets. The marginal effects of the program on technical efficiency differ according to the research capability and size of each school. We also compare technical efficiency against the licensing income at the start and end of the program. Technical efficiency increased for the leading TTOs, and both measures show improvements for unsupported TTOs. Our empirical results imply that diversifying the program for universities with different characteristics may have improved the effectiveness of the policy.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has jointly developed a bipropellant propulsion system for Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) with EADS Astrium in UK. The technology relevant to a bipropellant propulsion system is quite new one in Korea, which is transferred for the first time, with development of COMS propulsion system. It hasn't ever attempted before, and hasn't got any general idea itself as well, in Korea. The COMS Chemical Propulsion System (CPS) is designed to perform both the orbital injection function, to take the spacecraft from transfer orbit to Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and all on-station propulsive functions throughout the lifetime of the satellite. All station keeping manoeuvres are performed using the CPS. The design, manufacture and testing of COMS CPS are addressed in this paper. Feasibility of COMS CPS applicable to the other advanced mission is investigated as well.

Technology transfer from public research institutes is receiving an ever increasing importance in today's fast growing economy. Many factors have been cited as influencing the transfer performance. This study is focused on the strategy of institutes which is characterized by technology strategic factors and organizational/institutional factors. Methodologically, the technology strategy is represented by the information contained in applied patents, and the performance of technology transfer is indicated by the number of licensing contracts and royalty income. To further improve the contribution of public research institutes through technology transfer, I argue that individual institutes become more specialized in specific field and become more open to collaboration. It is also recommended that public research institutes gather together since it is easy to form the consortium of technology licensing office and it is not necessary to be located near the industrial field.

This is a case study to analyze the role of technology licensing or transfer office (TLO) as factors of success for the spin-off from government research lab. The case company is a research lab startup, which is a joint venture through technology investment by a government research lab or university in the designated R&D parks and cash investment by the partner company. The case company listed on the stock market in 2015 reaching a market capitalization of US$ 1.2 billion. We confirm the success factors of startups pointed out in many studies: original technology, good understanding of core technology and production technology, technological competitiveness in the market. However, there is an important factor not well discussed in the previous studies, the role of TLO. TLO guided the company ownership, management, technology, and solved problems that pause business itself. The case became the sample of research lab startup and technology investment in Korea.

본 연구는 대학의 특허경영전문가 활용이 기술이전 성과에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 향후 대학이 기술전담조직의 전문성강화의 방향성을 제시하고자 하였다. 특허경영전문가 파견에 관한 세부적인 효과파악을 위하여 세부적으로 특허경영전문가 파견유무, 특허경영전문가 파견기간, 특허경영전문가 파견연도로 세분화하여 연구를 진행하였다. 분석을 위하여, 대학정보공시센터의 "대학알리미" 자료와 한국지식재산전략원의 "특허경영전문가파견사업" 자료를 활용하였으며, 총 110개 4년제 대학을 중심으로 2008년부터 2013년간의 데이터를 활용하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 대학의 특허경영전문가활용은 활용 대학이 미활용대학 대비 기술이전 및 기술이전수입이 높은 것으로 나타나 대학의 기술이전 활성화를 이루는데 있어 특허경영전문가 활용이 중요한 역할을 했다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 대학의 특허경영전문가활용기간이 길수록 기술이전 및 기술이전수입이 높아지는 것으로 나타나 사업의 효과를 더욱 극대화하기 위하여 기간을 연장할 수 있는 방안마련이 필요하다는 방향성을 도출할 수 있었다. 셋째, 특허경영전문가 파견연도(해당연도)에는 기술이전 및 기술이전이 높아지지 않은 반면, 파견연도 전후로 기술이전성과가 나타나 특허경영전문가 파견이 즉각적인 효과라기 보다는 후속적인 효과로 해석할 수 있었다. 그렇기 때문에 파견사업의 효과를 단순히 짧은기간에 한정시키지 말고, 장기적인 관점에서 기술이전전담조직을 활성화시켜야 할 것이다.

In 1961, the Republic of Korea's first newly-constructed government building was completed. The government building, as ROK office, was erected as a twin with the USOM office in Sejong-ro. The reason why the ROK office and the USOM office were erected as a twin building is that the two offices were part of Foreign Operation Administration's Seoul Buildings Project in 1954. Within the project, the FOA office and the ROK office were rarely separated, and naturally, the ROK office was built according to the US standards. The planning, design, and construction phases which led by the US government were involved in the US architecture, engineering-construction companies. Because those AEC companies were familiar with the US technology and standards. In the phase of construction, Korean companies took part in the process under the supervise of Vinnell Corporation. The US expected to transfer its 'modern' and 'developed' technology through this process. The completed ROK office was widely known as the 'modern style (hyundae-sik)' building, which was body forth as glasses and new facilities. These factors were what the US emphasized for exporting architecture. The modifier, 'modern style (hyundae-sik)', given to the ROK office in the 1950s was a synonym for any new feeling that had never been seen hitherto. The newness of the ROK office, the 'modern style (hyundae-sik)' building, was specified as materials and facilities that indicates modern technology while in the absence of adequate knowledge.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is being widely spread in AEC industry worldwide and also in South Korea. Although the creation of digital model is better to be started at design stage, it can also improve the productivity of construction by simulating the actual construction process and environment. This paper presents application of BIM-based simulations related with design changes to transfer floors in 58-storey reinforced concrete office building. Transfer floor is not only a structurally important part of the building but also a challenging part of the actual construction in terms of sequence and period due to the complexity of the work. Preconstruction of rebar, mechanical, and plumbing is performed to review the construction drawings and to perform clash detection. Each item of application is evaluated for its effectiveness on actual construction and for the development potential.

기술 개발에 소요되는 비용이 증가하는 반면 기술 실현화를 통해 개발된 제품이나 서비스의 수명주기는 점차 짧아지고 있다. 이에 기업은 기술 혁신에 드는 비용을 절감하면서 빠르게 변화하는 시장에 대응하기 위해 개방형 혁신(open innovation)을 적극적으로 실행하고 있다. 그 중, 대학으로부터의 기술이전은 기술혁신의 대표적인 수단 중의 하나이다. 그러나 대학이 많은 자원을 연구개발에 투자하고 있음에도 투여된 자원이 가져오는 결과는 도외시 되고 있다. 따라서 현 시점에서 대학에서의 기술이전의 성과 및 효율성에 대한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 그러나, 기존 연구는 대부분 기술이전의 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인 분석에 집중되어있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 국내 소재 대학을 대상으로 대학에서의 기술이전 효율성을 분석하여 효율성 값을 토대로 대학의 유형별 효율성에 차이가 있는지를 검정하였다. 일반 대학보다 목적성이 있는 특화 대학에서 기술이전 효율성이 높은 것으로 분석되었고, 효율성 프론티어로 선정된 대학의 수 역시 특화 대학이 많았다. 대학 TLO 육성 지원 사업 참여 여부에 따른 대학에서의 기술이전의 효율성에는 유의한 차이가 없다는 점을 고려할 때, 국내에서 대학 TLO 육성 지원 사업이 성과를 내기 위해서는 시간이나 노력이 더욱 요구될 것이다. 본 연구의 대학별 효율성 분석은 향후 국내 및 국외 효율성 비교 연구와 대학의 기술이전 평가에 있어서 합리적인 측정지표를 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Condensation heat transfer coefficients in a 7.92 mm inside diameter copper smooth tube were obtained experimentally for R22, R134a, and R410A. Working conditions were in the range of $30-40^{\circ}C$ condensation temperature, $95-410 kg/m^2s$ mass flux, and 0.15-0.85 vapor quality. The experimental data were compared with the eight existing correlations for an annular flow regime. Based on the heat-momentum analogy, a condensation heat transfer coefficients correlation for the annular flow regime was developed. The Breber et al. flow regime map was used to discern flow pattern and the Muller-Steinhagen & Heck pressure drop correlation was used for the term of the proposed correlation. The proposed correlation provided the best predicted performance compared to the eight existing correlations and its root mean square deviation was less than 8.7%.

The concurrent injection of cosolvent and air, a cosolvent-air (CA) flood was recently suggested for a dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) remediation technology. The objectives of this study were to elucidate the DNAPL removal mechanisms of the CA flood and to quantify mass transfer rate coefficients during CA flooding. DNAPL removal mechanisms were examined by evaluating the effects of air flow rate and DNAPL solubility and visually documented at a pore-scale. Two serial processes, immiscible displacement and dissolution, were experimentally and visually documented during CA flooding. Mass transfer rate coefficients (K) were computed from the data showing PCE saturation versus time. Results showed that CA floods exhibited higher K values than cosolvent floods without concurrent air injection.
