Superconducting $MgB_2$ fibers are in-situ grown by a diffusion method. The fibers are prepared by exposing B filaments to Mg vapor inside a folded Ta foil over a wide range of temperature and growth time. The materials are sealed inside a quartz tube by gas welding. The as - grown fibers are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x - ray analysis. The fibers have a diameter of about $110{\mu}m$. Surface morphology of the fibers looks dependent on growth temperature and mixing ratio of Mg and B. Radial distribution of Mg ions into B is observed and analyzed over the cross - sectional area. Transport properties of the $MgB_2$ fibers are examined by a physical property measurement system. The $MgB_2$ fibers grown at $900^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours show a superconducting transition at 39.8K with ${\Delta}T_c<$ 2.0 K. Resistance at room temperature $MgB_2$ is 3.745 $\Omega$ and residual resistivity ratio (RRR) is estimated as 4.723.

The resistive type high temperature superconducting fault current limiter (HTSFCL) limits the fault current using the resistance generated by fault current. The generated resistance by fault current makes large pulse power which makes the operation of HTSFCL unstable. So, the cryogenic cooling system of the resistive type HTSFCL must diffuse and eliminate the pulse energy very quickly. Although the best way is to make wide direct contact area between HTS winding and coolant as much as possible, HTS winding also needs the impregnation layer which fixes and protects it from electromagnetic force. This paper deals with the thermal conductivity and dielectric strength of some epoxy compounds for the impregnation of high temperature superconducting (HTS) winding in liquid nitrogen. The measured data can be used in the optimal design of impregnation for HTS winding. Aluminar filling increased the thermal conductivity of epoxy compounds. Hardener also affected the thermal and electric characteristic of epoxy compounds.

The extent of absorption and transmitance of the light that passes through some material is changed as the wavelength of the light varies, and which makdes it possible to estimate characteristics of the material. Spectrometer is a measurement system that can analyze the characteristics of material by using this principle. Its application field is so wide that it can be applied to all the arease that are concerned with analyzing materials : biological, environmental, medical and chemical area etc. This study is focused on developing precision sine drive mechanism for grating monochromator which is the most important part of the spectrometers. It is designed to be simple in struicture. It is achieved to derive basic principles to manipu- late precision sine drive mechanism : it should be aligned with a condition that .beta. , the angle between grat- ing normal and grating rod should be the same as .gamma. , the one between moving nut's normal and sliding guide. And also, it's found that the mis-alignments of the grating and mirrors are not the main factor in guaranteeing the linearity of sine drive mechanism. Performance evaluation is achieved by a standard sample by comparing experimental results with standard values. It results in wavelength accuracy of .+-. 0.5nm and resolution of 1nm. Conclusively, it can be verified that the sine drive mechanism developed in this study is not only simple in structure, but also stable and excellent in performanes.

Due to the recent advancement of networking and high-performance computing technologies, scientists can easily access large-scale data captured by scientific measurement devices through a network, and use huge computational power harnessed on the Internet for their analyses of scientific data. However, visualization technology, which plays a role of great importance for scientists to intuitively understand the analysis results of such scientific data, is not fully utilized so that it can seamlessly benefit from recent high-performance and networking technologies. One of such visualization technologies is SAGE (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment), which allows people to build an arbitrarily sized tiled display wall and is expected to be applied to scientific research. In this paper, we present a multi-application controller for SAGE, which we have developed, in the hope that it will help scientists efficiently perform scientific research requiring high-performance computing and visualization. The evaluation in this paper indicates that the efficiency of completing a comparison task among multiple data is increased by our system.

As described in the previous paper (Park et al. 2013), the detector subsystem of optical wide-field patrol (OWL) provides many observational data points of a single artificial satellite or space debris in the form of small streaks, using a chopper system and a time tagger. The position and the corresponding time data are matched assuming that the length of a streak on the CCD frame is proportional to the time duration of the exposure during which the chopper blades do not obscure the CCD window. In the previous study, however, the length was measured using the diagonal of the rectangle of the image area containing the streak; the results were quite ambiguous and inaccurate, allowing possible matching error of positions and time data. Furthermore, because only one (position, time) data point is created from one streak, the efficiency of the observation decreases. To define the length of a streak correctly, it is important to locate the endpoints of a streak. In this paper, a method using a differential convolution mask pattern is tested. This method can be used to obtain the positions where the pixel values are changed sharply. These endpoints can be regarded as directly detected positional data, and the number of data points is doubled by this result.

단방향 Network RTK 방식은 최근 높아진 항체의 요구 정확도와 이동성을 동시에 충족할 수 있는 방식으로 고려되고 있다. 항체에 단방향 Network RTK 방식의 보정정보를 적용할 경우, 광역에서의 연속 항법을 위하여 다중 셀 기반의 Network RTK 방식이 필수적이다. 이 경우, 사용자가 셀 간 이동시 보정정보 생성에 사용되는 기준국 조합이 바뀌므로 보정정보의 불연속 값이 발생하는데, RTK 위치 결정을 위한 이중차분으로도 제거되지 않아 수평 13cm, 수직 48cm 수준의 오차가 야기됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 불연속 점을 해소하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 이종 셀 간 동일한 주(Master) 기준국을 사용하는 방안, 복수의 보정정보 수신 모듈을 설치하여 기존 위치를 기준으로 새로운 보정정보를 조정하는 방안, 이종 네트워크 간 미지정수 차이를 조정하는 세 가지 방법을 제시하였다. 세 방법 모두 셀 간 이동으로 인한 불연속 값을 효과적으로 제거되어 측정치의 1/4파장, 3cm수준으로 위치 오차가 감소함이 확인되었으나, 기준국 셀의 확장성, 사용자 장비 부담 경감 등을 고려할 때 셀간 미지정수를 조정하는 방식이 가장 바람직하다.

In wireless communication, efficient spectrum usage is an issue that has been an attractive research area for many technologies. Recently new technologies innovations allow compact radios to transmit with power efficient communication over very long distances. For example, Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are an attractive emerging platform to connect the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Especially, LoRa is one of LPWAN technologies and considered as an infrastructure solution for IoT. End-devices use LoRa protocol across a single wireless hop to communicate to gateway(s) connected to the internet which acts as a bridge and relays message between these LoRa end-devices to a central network server. The use of the (ISM) spectrum sharing for such long-range networking motivates us to implement spectrum sensing testbed for cognitive radio network based on LoRa and GNU radio. In cognitive radio (CR), secondary users (SUs) are able to sense and use this information to opportunistically access the licensed spectrum band in absence of the primary users (PUs). In general, PUs have not been very receptive of the idea of opportunistic spectrum sharing. That is, CR will harmfully interfere with operations of PUs. Subsequently, there is a need for experimenting with different techniques in a real system. In this paper, we implemented spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks based on LoRa and GNU Radio, and further analyzed corresponding performances of the implemented systems. The implementation is done using Microchip LoRa evolution kits, USRPs, and GNU radio.

Smart grid is a fully-automated, bi-directional, power transmission network based on the physical grid system, which combines sensor measurement, computer, information communication, and automatic control technology. Blockchain technology, with its security features, can be integrated with Smart Grids to provide secure and efficient power management and transmission. This paper dicusses the deployment of Blockchain technology in Smart Grid. It presents application areas and protocols in which blockchain can be applied to in securing smart grid. One application of each area is explored in detail, such as efficient peer-to-peer transaction, lower platform costs, faster processes, greater flexibility in power generation to transmission, distribution and power consumption in different energy storage systems, current barriers obstructing the implementation of blockchain applications with some level of maturity in financial services but concepts only in energy and other sectors. Wide range of energy applications suggesting a suitable blockchain architecture in smart grid operations, a sample block structure and the potential blockchain technicalities employed in it. Also, added with efficient data aggregation schemes based on the blockchain technology to overcome the challenges related to privacy and security in the smart grid. Later on, consensus algorithms and protocols are discussed. Monitoring of the usage and statistics of energy distribution systems that can also be used to remotely control energy flow to a particular area. Further, the discussion on the blockchain-based frameworks that helps in the diagnosis and maintenance of smart grid equipment. We have also discussed several commercial implementations of blockchain in the smart grid. Finally, various challenges have been discussed for integrating these technologies. Overall, it can be said at the present point in time that blockchain technology certainly shows a lot of potentials from a customer perspective too and should be further developed by market participants. The approaches seen thus far may have a disruptive effect in the future and might require additional regulatory intervention in an already tightly regulated energy market. If blockchains are to deliver benefits for consumers (whether as consumers or prosumers of energy), a strong focus on consumer issues will be needed.

문화재 발굴에 있어서 물리탐사의 중요한 역할중의 하나는 효율적이고도 체계적인 발굴을 위하여 지하 천부에 대한 정보를 제공함에 있다고 할 수 있다. 지표 레이다 탐사(GPR)는 지하 천부의 고분해능 영상을 제공하여 줄 수 있기 때문에 고고학 탐사에 있어서 중요한 물리탐사 방법 중의 하나로 인식된다. 역사유물은 지질구조와는 달리 일정한 방향성이 없이 매몰되어 있는 경우가 많으므로 근본적으로 2차원 탐사보다는 3차원 탐사가, 그리고 측선탐사보다는 면적탐사의 개념을 동원하여 탐사함이 바람직하다. 그러나 3차원 GPR 탐사는 매우 조밀하게 측선을 설정하고 대단히 많은 자료를 획득하여야 가능하므로 넓은 지역의 조사에 항상 적용하기란 현실적으로 매우 어렵다. 이와 같은 문제점을 극복하기 위해서는 효율적인 탐사방법을 고안함이 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에선 부여 가탑리 지역의 백제시대 유적지 발굴조사에 선행하여 3차원 GPR 탐사를 중심으로 한 물리탐사를 수행하였다. 조사의 1차적인 목적은 지하 하부 구조에 대한 고분해능 영상을 제공함으로써 계획된 유적발굴에 도움을 주고자 함에 있었다. 한편 고고학 발굴을 위한 효율적인 지하 영상화 방법을 제공하기 위하여, 다중 채널 안테나와 자동 측량 시스템을 채용한 GPR 자동연속탐사 시스템의 유적지발굴에 대한 효용성을 검증함에 그 부차적인 목적이 있었다. 자료측정의 효율성을 제고하기 위하여 미리 측선을 설정하지 않고 조사영역 내에서 임의의 방향으로 자료를 취득하는 개념을 채택하였다. 이와 같은 시스템을 이용하여 탐사한 결과, 2일 간에 걸친 현장 탐사 결과로써 약 $17,000 m^2$에 걸친 지역에 대한 3차원 탐사자료를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 미리 측선을 설정하지 않고 자료를 획득하였음에도 불구하고, 전산처리 결과 획득한 지하 영상으로부터 경작지, 수로, 인공 구조물 또는 유물 등의 존재를 알려주는 이상대들을 정밀하게 파악할 수 있었다. 이 연구 사례를 통하여 3차원 GPR 탐사 또한 국부적인 이상대의 규명뿐만 아니라 광역적인 고고학 조사에도 다른 물리탐사와 마찬가지로 쉽게 활용될 수 있다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 3차원 GPR 탐사가 향후 국내의 문화재 조사에 표준화된 탐사과정 중의 하나로써 적극 활용되길 기대한다.
