Using solar occultation data obtained by Cassini/Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), we were able to retrieve the 1 - 5 mm optical-depth spectra of the Titanian haze, for which only selected wavelength and altitudinal ranges were previously analyzed. We found that the gross 1 - 5 mm shapes of the retrieved haze spectra are significantly different from the spectra of tholin samples in the literature. We also derived the vertical variation of the spectral structure of the $3.3-3.4{\mu}m$ absorption feature of the Titan haze from the VIMS data recorded between 250 and 700 km altitude. We found a marked change between 480 and 580 km in the relative amplitudes of the 3.33 and $3.38{\mu}m$ features which are characteristic of aromatic (double C=Cchains or rings) or aliphatic (single C-C chains) structural groups, respectively. Dicussions on this spectral and altitudinal variation will be presented.

A technology of hardening porous materials of titan powders has been elaborated. The technology is based on passing alternating current with duration of ${\sim}10^{-1}{\ldots}10^1$ s through porous ($35{\ldots}40%$) blanks made by method of Sintering by Electric Discharge (SED) by passing a pulse of current with duration of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\ldots}10^{-3}$ s. The influence of technological regimes of porous blanks treatment on their structure and properties is investigated. Geometry and dimension of contact necks between powder particles of obtained samples are evaluated. Variations of porosity and strengths as well as microstructure of porous samples materials before and after treatment are investigated. Optimum range of treatment technological regimes is determined within which porosity of $30{\ldots}35%$ with maximum strength values.

The Cassini/Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) observed the sun through the atmosphere of Titan, and provided vertically-resolved 63 spectra from 49 km to 987 km for the 1 - 5 micron range (Bellucci, 2008). Bellucci et al. (2009) analyzed selected spectral ranges where the band absorptions of $CH_4$ and CO are strong by constructing synthetic spectra including $CH_4$ and CO lines, but without including haze absorptions in their synthetic spectra. Kim et al. (2011) and Sim et al. (2013) were able to extract detailed spectral features of fundamental (Dv = 1) and overtone (Dv = 2) bands of the haze from the VIMS spectra by excluding the adjacent influences of strong $CH_4$ absorptions using a radiative transfer program, which includes effects of absorption and emission of lines of these molecules, and absorption and scattering of haze particles. In this presentation, we extend our detailed analyses to other remaining wavelengths in order to provide the spectral characteristics of the Titanian haze for the entire 1 - 5 micron range and to identify any additional haze spectral features and an unidentified feature near 4.3 microns reported by Bellucci et al. (2009).

What is the socio-cultural meaning of the 1980s' Korean robot animations? What is the periodical backgrounds making this meaning? This study has attempted to lay the foundation stone of the answer for the questions. To do that, this study selected Roboteu King(Yeong-rang Bae, 1980) and Super Titan 15(Seung-cheol Park, 1983) as the objects of the textual analysis. To grasp the periodical identity, it has examined the cold war ideology that has been the basis of the political and economic environments of Korea. Findings are as follows. Korea was vulnerable to general environments after the Korean War; accordingly, Korea took the-dependence-on-the-US strategy in terms of various aspects including national security, scientific technology, and industry economy. This kind of socio-cutural condition was represented through the narratives of the early 1980s' Korean robot animations. Their narratives including the advance of plots, the roles of Korean protagonists, the technological gap between the planets and earth, and so forth were quite dependent on extraterrestrials and contained anticommunist ideology.

In this paper, each driving motor for leg joints on a robot is controlled by estimating the direction of the legs measuring each joint angle and attitude angle of robot. We used quadruped working robot named TITAN-VIII in order to carry out this experimental study. 4 load cells are installed under the bottom of 4 legs to measure the pressed force on each leg while it's walking. The walking experiments of the robot were performed in 8 different conditions combined with duty factor, the length of a stride, the trajectory height of the foot and walking period of robot. The validity of attitude control for quadruped walking robot is evaluated by comparing the pressed force on a leg and the power consumption of joint driving motor. As a result, it was confirmed that the slip-condition of which the foot leave the ground late at the beginning of new period of the robot during walking process, which means the attitude control of the robot during walking process wasn't perfect only by measuring joint and attitude angle for estimating the direction of the foot.

Engine derating is often considered for reliability benefits because lower power operation reduces its failure probability. To be derated during operation, however, the engine must be initially overdesigned. The engine overdesign is cost effective only if reliability increased from derating is enough to offset the initial increase in the development cost caused from the overdesign. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analytical model to consider a trade-off between the engine overdesign and derating. We use a logistic regression model to explain reliability growth in the number of hot firing tests for a fixed power level. Using the Transcost model with the reliability growth model, we show that 10% overdesign of Titan rocket engine decreases its development cost by about 9% and 23% depending on the reliability requirement. We also point out that such a cost reduction depends on the fuel type a rocket uses.

Until present, most studies about energy efficiency of quadruped walking robot are mathematical modelings, dynamic analysis or simulation consumption energy per period by basic efficiency evaluate in this paper, a quadruped walking robot Titan-VIII is used for walking experience. The total moving length is about 2[m]. The stride length is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, walking period is changed by 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0[sec] per each stride length. So consumption energy of 12 cases are measured. The energy efficiency of quadruped walking robot was analyzed by data that is saved by an experiment.

극한환경용 소재기술의 발전은 새로운 기기의 설계 및 제작을 가능하게 하고, 이에 따른 고효율 시스템의 운전을 실현할 수 있게 한다. 청정 에너지 확보, 에너지 전환 효율 극대화, 항공우주 기술의 확보 등 21세기 신성장 동력산업의 주요 이슈들은 시스템 운전여건을 고온의 극한 환경으로 처하게 한다. $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체는 우수한 고온 성능으로 고온 극한환경에 적용할 수 있는 잠재성을 지닌 소재로 항공우주 산업, 방위산업, 원자력 산업 및 에너지 산업에서 적용되고 있거나 적용이 검토되고 있다. 일본은 OASIS (Organization of Advanced Sustainability Initiative for Energy System/Material) 주도로 FEEMA 프로젝트에서 엔진부품용 $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체 개발을 추진 중이며, 유럽연합과 BA (Broad Approach) 프로젝트를 통하여 핵융합로 적용소재에 관한 연구를 수행 중이다. 또한 미국과 TITAN 공동프로젝트 내에서도 $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체에 대한 연구가 진행 중이다. 미국의 일본과의 TITAN외에도 일본원자력연구원 (JAEA) 및 프랑스 원자력연구소 (CEA)와도 공동연구를 수행하고 있다. 프랑스 CEA는 고온가스로의 피복재로 개발을 수행하고 있다. 이외에도 유럽연합은 RAPHAEL 프로그램과EXTREMAT 프로그램에서 $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체 개발을 수행하고 있다. 또한 소규모이지만 $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체의 상업적인 판매가 일본에서 시작되었고, 가까운 미래에 범용적으로 적용할 상업적인 판매를 시작하는 단계로 발전할 수 있으리라 생각된다. 이외에도 미국 ASME는 고온 설계코드 개발을 위한 준비를 진행 중이다. 아울러 가속화된 제조공정 기술 개발과 설계코드 및 DB 구축과 같은 소재 적용여건의 성숙은 $SiC_f$/SiC 복합체가 상용소재로 적용될 가능성을 높이고 있으며, 개량 후보소재에서 현용재로 적용될 시기를 앞당길 수 있는 계기가 되리라 생각된다. 따라서 국내에서 이에 걸맞는 체계적인 투자와 연구가 진행되어야하겠다.

Current high-resolution IR spectroscopy at ground-based observatories made it possible to observe $3-{\mu}m\;CH_4$ emission lines from the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, and Titan through narrow atmospheric windows avoiding the counterparts of telluric $CH_4$ absorptions if proper Doppler shifts betwen Earth and these planetary objects are provided. We are also expecting low-resolution (R~300) infrared spectra of Jupiter from the upcoming observations by JUNO's infrared $2-5{\mu}m$ spectrograph during the encounter with Jupiter approximately starting from July 4, 2016. Although the spectral resolution is not enough to resolve the $3-{\mu}m$ P, Q, R branch lines of CH4, the gross envelopes of the P, Q, R branches should yield information on rotational temperatures. The rotational temperatures are useful because theycan be regarded as local temperatures, as discussed by Kim et al. (2014). Since the $3-{\mu}m\;CH_4$ emission is mostly formed at micro-bar pressure levels, the derived rotational temperatures represent the local temperatures near the hompause of Jupiter. We discuss possible sciences from the derived homopause temperatures in the auroral and non-auroral regions of Jupiter.
