Leisure and business facilities have been steadily developing in Korea. Among waterborne leisure vessels and equipment, the distribution and sale of kayaks and canoes have significantly increased. Previously, (FRP) materials were primarily employed for constructing kayaks. However, owing to global warming and depletion of natural resources, the demand for non-polluting renewable energy is rapidly increasing, which has increased the demand for carbon fibers. To meet the requirements of changing social consciousness, a carbon fiber-based commercial kayak was designed in this study. Resistance analysis and structural safety were conducted by employing software tool for verifying the reliability of the proposed kayak. The pressure resistance and frictional resistance were examined in a wide range of speed. Obtained results indicate that at speeds greater than 2.6 m/s, the pressure resistance significantly increases and the total resistance also increases. Furthermore, the results corroborate that the proposed kayak structure has a adequate safety with respect to the design loads that are considered during operating conditions.

Today, most detection systems used in the marine industry are the majority of devices operating in the high-power X-band bands. While most detection systems using these frequencies in the X-Band band can expect a wide range of detection performance, they are not suitable for precision detection and have the limitation that they are large and heavy. In this paper, we designed, fabricated and tested an electronic scanner capable of detecting not only the surrounding objects but also the ocean waves at a low power of less than 2W in the 17GHz frequency band of the Ku-Band. A high-performance patch array antenna and Doppler effect were utilized to obtain sufficient detection performance even at low power. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the performance was sufficiently valuable.

The thermal stability, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of $Gd_{55}Co_{35}M_{10}$ (M = Si, Zr and Nb) melts-pun ribbons were studied. The relatively high reduced glass transition temperature ($T_{x1}/T_m$ > 0.60) and low melting point ($T_m$) resulted in excellent glass forming ability (GFA). The Curie temperatures ($T_C$) of melt-spun amorphous ribbons $Gd_{55}Co_{35}M_{10}$ for M = Si, Zr and Nb were 166, 148 and 173 K, respectively. For a magnetic field change of 2 T, the values of maximum magnetic entropy change $(-{\Delta}S_M)^{max}$ for $Gd_{55}Co_{35}Si_{10}$, $Gd_{55}Co_{35}Zr_{10}$ and $Gd_{55}Co_{35}Nb_{10}$ were found to be 2.86, 4.28 and $4.05J\;kg^{-1}K^{-1}$, while the refrigeration capacity (RC) values were 154, 274 and $174J\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. The $RC_{FWHM}$ values of amorphous alloys $Gd_{55}Co_{35}M_{10}$ (M = Si, Zr and Nb) are comparable to or larger than that of $LaFe_{11.6}Si_{1.4}$ crystalline alloy. Large values of $(-{\Delta}S_M)^{max}$ and RC along with good thermal stability make $Gd_{55}Co_{35}M_{10}$ (M = Si, Zr and Nb) amorphous alloys be potential materials for magnetic cooling operating in a wide temperature range from 150 to 175 K, e.g., as part of a gas liquefaction process.

Large-scale industrial facility structures continue to deteriorate due to the effects of operating and environmental conditions. The problems of these industrial facilities are potentially causing economic losses, environmental pollution, casualties, and national losses. Accordingly, in order to prevent disaster accidents of large structures in advance, the necessity of diagnosing structures using non-destructive inspection techniques is being highlighted. The defect occurrence, location and defect type of the structure are important parameters for predicting the remaining life of the structure, so continuous defect observation is very important. Recently, many researchers have been actively researching real-time monitoring technology to solve these problems. Structure Health Monitoring Inspection is a technology that can identify and respond to the occurrence of defects in real time, but there is a limit to check the degree of defects and the direction of growth of defects. In order to compensate for the shortcomings of these technologies, the importance of defect imaging techniques is emerging, and in order to find defects in large structures, a method of inspecting a wide range using guided ultrasonic is effective. The work presented here introduces a calculation for the shape factor for evaluation of the damaged area, as well as a variable β parameter technique to correct a damaged shape. Also, we perform research in modeling simulation and an experiment for comparison with a suggested inspection method and verify its validity. The curved structure image obtained by the advanced RAPID algorithm showed a good match between the defect area and the shape.

Data required in a wireless sensor network environment requires more accurate figures as technology advances and its complexity increases. However, in the case of operating a large number of sensor nodes in a large area, the balance between the power consumed and the data quality that can be acquired accordingly should be considered for that purpose. In particular, in complex, densely populated urban areas or military operations with specific goals, location data requires increasingly detailed and high accuracy over a wide range. In this paper, we propose a method of mounting a Global Positioning System(: GPS) only on some of the sensor nodes deployed in the wireless sensor network and improving the error of GPS location data measured on that sensor node through Angle of Arrival(: AoA) and Received Signal Strength Indicator(: RSSI).

Electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing, a type of direct contactless microfabrication technology, is a versatile fabrication process that enables a wide range of micro/nanopattern arrays by applying a strong electric field between the nozzle and the substrate. In general, the morphology and the thickness of polymers/quantum dot micropatterns show a systematic dependence on the diameter of the nozzle and the ink composition with a fully automated printing machine. The purpose of this report is to provide typical examples of e-jet printed micropatterns of polymers/quantum dots to explain the effect of each process variable on the result of experiments. Here, we demonstrate several operating conditions that allow high-resolution printing of layers of polymers/quantum dots with a precise control over thickness and submicron lateral resolution.

본 연구에서는 토양의 동결-융해 상태 구분을 위해 영상레이더(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 자료를 활용해 지표상태인자(Surface State Factor, SSF)를 산정하고, 관측 토양수분 자료 및 지표면 온도(Land Surface Temperature, LST) 자료와의 비교를 통해 SSF의 정확도를 분석하였다. SSF 산정은 용담댐 유역을 포함한 인근 40×50 km²의 영역(N35°35'~36°00', E127°20'~127°45')에 대한 9개의 토양수분 관측지점(계북, 천천, 상전, 안천, 부귀, 주천, 장수읍, 진안읍, 무주읍)을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였으며, 이를 위해 2015년부터 2019년까지의 해당 지점의 토양수분 관측자료와 Sentinel-1A Interferometric Wide swath (IW) 모드의 Ground Range Detected (GRD) product를 구축하여 활용하였다. SSF 자료의 정확도 분석을 위한 토양수분 관측지점에 대한 LST 자료는 인근 7개 기상관측소 지점(전주, 금산, 임실, 남원, 장수, 함양군, 거창)의 관측자료로부터 역거리가중법을 통해 산정하였다. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) 분석을 통한 겨울철(12-2월)의 SSF 산정 정확도를 평가한 결과, 지표면 온도 자료와의 평균 정확도는 0.75(0.48-0.87)로 나타났다. 그러나, 지표면 온도가 0℃ 이상일 때 SSF가 동결 상태로 나타나는 오차가 관측되었으며, 이는 여름철 후방산란계수의 평균값과 겨울철 후방산란계수의 평균값을 통해 산정하는 SSF 산정 수식의 특성 때문으로 이 값의 조정을 통해 오차를 개선할 수 있음을 보였다.

Since silicon having a band gap energy of about 1.12 eV are limited to a maximum operating temperature of less than 250 ℃, the sample with MIS structure based on the SiC substrate of wide-band gap energy was manufactured and the hydrogen response characteristics at high temperatures were investigated. The dielectric layer applied here is a tantalum oxide layer that is highly permeable to hydrogen gas and shows stability at high temperatures. It was formed by RTO at a temperature of 900 ℃ with tantalum. The thickness, depth profiles, and leakage current of the tantalum oxide layer were analyzed through TEM, SIMS, and leakage current characteristics. For the hydrogen gas response characteristics, the capacitance change characteristics were investigated in the temperature range from room temperature to 400 ℃ for hydrogen gas concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm. As a result, it was confirmed that the sample exhibited excellent sensitivity and a response time of about 60 seconds.

In modern society, various digital equipment are being distributed due to the influence of the 4th industrial revolution, and they are used in a wide range of fields such as automated processes, intelligent CCTV, medical industry, robots, and drones. Accordingly, the importance of the preprocessing process in a system operating based on an image is increasing, and an algorithm for effectively reconstructing an image is drawing attention. In this paper, we propose a filter algorithm based on a combined weight value to reconstruct an image in a complex noise environment. The proposed algorithm calculates the weight according to the spatial distance and the weight according to the difference between the pixel values for the input image and the pixel values inside the filtering mask, respectively. The final output was filtered by applying the join weights calculated based on the two weights to the mask. In order to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we simulated it by comparing it with the existing filter algorithm.

The demand for research on materials with excellent cryogenic strength and ductility has been increasing, particularly for applications such as liquid hydrogen (20 K) storage tanks. To effectively utilize liquid hydrogen, a system capable of maintaining and operating at 20 K is essential. Therefore, preliminary research and verification of the cooling system are crucial. In this study, a heat transfer analysis was conducted on a cooling system to meet the cryogenic environment requirements for cryogenic hydrogen chamber, which are conducted at liquid helium temperatures (4 K). The cooling mechanism in a helium cooling system was examined using numerical analysis. The numerical cooling trends were compared with experimentally obtained cooling results. The good agreement between numerical and experimental results suggests that the numerical approach developed in this study is applicable over a wide range of cryogenic systems.
