Active driving safety systems for vehicle, such as the front collision avoidance, lane departure warning, and lane change assistance, have been popular to be adopted to the compact car. For improving performance and competitive cost, FMCW radar has been researched to adopt a phased array or a multi-beam antenna, and to integrate the front and the side radar. In this paper we propose several efficient methods to implement the signal processing module of FMCW radar system using low cost DSP. The pulse width modulation (PWM) based analog conversion, the approximation of time-eating functions, and the adoption of vector-based computation, etc, are proposed and implemented. The implemented signal processing board shows the real-time performance of 1.4ms pulse repetition interval (PRI) with 1024pt-FFT. In real road we verify the radar performance under real-time constraints of 10Hz update time.

This study examined the characteristics of radio-frequency/vacuum dried Korean red pine ($Pinus$ $densoflora$) heavy timbers with 250 ${\times}$ 250 mm (S), 300 ${\times}$ 300 mm (L) in cross section and 300 mm in diameter, and 3,600 mm in length, which were subjected to compressive loading after a kerf pretreatment. The following results were obtained : The drying time was short and the drying rate was high in spite of the large cross section of specimens. The moisture gradient inall specimens was gentle in both longitudinal and transverse directions owing to dielectric heating. The shrinkage of the width in the direction perpendicular to was 21 percent ~ 76 percent of that of the thickness of square timbers in the direction parallel to the mechanical pressure. The casehardening for all specimens was very slight because of significantly reduced ratio of the tangential to radial shrinkage of specimens and kerfing. The surface checks somewhat severely occurred although the occurrence extent of the surface checks on the kerfed specimens was slight compared withthat on the control specimen.

The amplifier properties of single distributed feedback dye laser with 106 ps pulse width and 616 nm wavelength were invested using only one XeCl-excimer laser as pump source. For optimized amplification of DFDL, the three-stage amplifiers were arranged with increasing cross-section and accordingly increasing pump energies. The first AmpI, II stages were dye cell of 5 mm, 10 mm and contained a $6{\times}10^{-4}$ [mol/l](solvent : Methanol) of Rhodamine 610. Double-pass amplification in the AmPII was measured to suppress the ASE by using a diffraction grating. The beam intensity of AmpI, II was saturated with a gain of respectively 10 and 48. The last AmpIII was Bethune cell of 30 mm and contained a $3{\times}10^ {-4}$ [mol/l] (solvent : Ethanol) of Rhodamine 610. In the single-pass and double-pass amplification, the output energy was obtained 168.2 $\mu$J and 471$\mu$J respectively.

In this paper, we have optimized the computation of the CSP - LOC (Channel Substrate Planar-Large Optical Cavity) structure to design the gith power (Ga, Al) As/GaAs CSP-LOC laser diode. The parameters of the device on the bases of experimental datas include the effects of the various layer thickness, material absorption coefficients, stripe width and so forth. At active layer ($d_2$)=0.08 um with optical layer ($d_3$)=0.5 um and $d_2$ = 0.1 um with $d_3$ = 0.4 um, we find the narrower beam divergence and stable high power in the lowest-order mode without the phenomenon of spatial hole burning. The results of theoretical computation show good agreement with experimental measurements made on LPE grown CSP-LOC. Finally, we developed an practical program and the program is applicable to the CSP-LOC lasers with any materials.

In this study, we demonstrate the change of optical characteristic by thickness of metal deposition on nano metal grid polarizer film fabrication. Nano metal grid polarizer film consists of aluminium grid polarizer layer on PET (Polyethylene phthalate) substrate. We aim at metal grid layer formation for the large nano wire grid polarizer fabrication. we draw process conditions of the nano metal grid polarizer film fabrication to improve transmittance and extinction ratio and Nano wire grid polarizer film (NWGP) film is fabricated with 140 nm pitch, 70 nm width, and 70 nm depth of metal grid on optimum design conditions. As a result, we get high optical properties of nano wire grid polarizer which is the maximum transmittance of 80% and the extinction ratio of $10^6$ at 600 nm wavelength respectively.

In this study, a framework for optimizing the opening in an outrigger wall is proposed. To solve a constrained bounded optimization problem, an in-house finite element program and SQP algorithm in Python SciPy library are utilized. The openings of the outrigger wall are located according to the strut-tie behavior of the outrigger wall deep beam. A linear interpolation method is used to obtain differentiable continuous functions required for optimization, whereas a database is used for the efficiency of the optimization program. By comparing the result of the two-variable optimization through the moving path of the search algorithm, it is confirmed that the algorithm efficiently determines the optimized result. When the size of each opening is set to individual variables rather than the same width of all openings, the value of the objective function is minimized to obtain better optimization results. It was confirmed that the optimization time can be effectively reduced when using the database in the optimization process.

Shear tests were performed on four ends of full scale U-type beams which were designed by optimum process for the depth with a live load of 4903Pa. The ratio of width to depth of full scale 10.5 m-span, composite U-type beams with topping concrete was greater than 2. Following conclusions were obtained from the evaluation on the shear performance of these precast prestressed beams. 1) Those composite U-type beams performed homogeneously up to the failure load, and conformed to ACI Strength design methods in shear and flexural behaviors. 2) The anchorage requirements on development length of strand In the ACI Provisions preyed to be a standard to determine a failure pattern within the limited test results of the shallow U-type beams. 3) Those all shear crackings developed from the end of the beams did not lead to anchorage failure. However, initiated strand slip may leads the bond failure by increasing the size of diagonal shear crackings. 4) The flexural mild reinforcement around the vertical center of beam section was effective for developments of a ductile failure.

Corbels are short cantilevers that project from the faces of a column and are a type of stress disturbed member, resisting both the ultimate shear force applied to them by the beam, and the ultimate horizontal force caused by shrinkage, temperature changes, and creep of the supported elements. Recently, as there have been an increase in the use of high-strength concrete and the concern about corrosion problems, lots of researches about hybrid reinforcing technique, applying strategically high performance reinforcements to the concrete elements, are performed. In this study, fiber reinforced high strength concrete corbels were constructed and tested for applying hybrid reinforcing technique to the corbels using steel fibers and headed bars. The results showed that the performance in terms of load carrying capacities, stiffness, ductility, and crack width was improved, as the steel fibers were added and the percentage of steel fibers was increased. In addition, the corbel specimens used headed bars as main tension ties showed superior load carrying capacities, stiffness, and ductility to the corbel specimens anchored main tension ties by welding to the transverse bars.

In this paper, Strip Halo Antenna used for the proximity sensor in 800 MHz band was fabricated by using a dielectric board with the relative dielectric constant of 6.15. Dimensions of the strip halo antenna were optimized by the theoretical simulation and many experiments. The impedance of the strip halo antenna mounted on the proximity sensor with the finite circular groud plane was measured as 16.5 + j1.1[$\Omega$]. The matching characteristic of the strip halo antenna was greatly improved by attaching the matching section designed through experiments to the rear side of dielectric board. The impedance of the strip halo antenna with the matching section was measured as 43.79-j0.04[$\Omega$], and the 3 dB beam width of its radiation pattern was measured about $90^{\circ}$.
