The purpose of this study was to investigate for filtration efficiency of several dust masks, comparing with filtration efficiency certified by KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency), and to require of the right use of protective respirators. Using a welding fume generator and chamber, several dust masks, which were widely used in the workplaces in korea, were tested for their filtering efficiency for stainless steel arc welding fume. The filtration efficiency testing system consisted of a welding fume generator, a chamber and a filtration unit. The filtration unit was made of a mask which was inserted into the sampling cassette and another sampling cassette, which contained mixed cellulose ester filter paper. These two cassettes were connected with tubing. Stainless steel arc welding fume generator was delivered into an chamber. The welding fume in the chamber was passed into the filtration unit with flow rate of 30 liter/min. The welding fume filtration efficiency was evaluated by gravimetric measurement. Metal concentrations in the welding fume before and after filtration were measured with inductive coupling plasma analyzer. Following results were obtained: Filtration efficiency of welding fume for common hygienic mask was 63.82% and the average efficiencies for A, B, C, D, E, F and G masks were 94.62%, 96.58%, 83.20%, 82.76%, 77.25%, 86.55% and 93.22%, respectively. Our results indicate that dust masks used widely in the welding workplaces in korea are not proper for protecting worker's health and then the use of fume mask should be required.

The wireless power transfer (WPT) system using a magnetic resonance was based on magnetic resonance coupling of the transmission and the receiver coils. In these system, it is important to maintain a high quality-factor (Q-factor) to increase the transmission efficiency of WPT system. Our research team used a superconducting coil to increase the Q-factor of the magnetic resonance coil in WPT system. When the superconductor is applied in these system, we confirmed that transmission efficiency of WPT system was higher than normal conductor coil through a preceding study. The efficiency of the transmission and the receiver coil is affected by the magnetic shielding effect of materials around the coils. The magnetic shielding effect is dependent on the type, thickness, frequency, distance, shape of materials. Therefore, it is necessary to study the WPT system on the basis of these conditions. In this paper, the magnetic shield properties of the cooling system were analyzed using the High-Frequency Structure Simulation (HFSS, Ansys) program. We have used the shielding materials such as plastic, aluminum and iron, etc. As a result, when we applied the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), the transmission efficiency of WPT was not affected because electromagnetic waves went through the FRP. On the other hand, in case of a iron and aluminum, transmission efficiency was decreased because of their electromagnetic shielding effect. Based on these results, the research to improve the transmission efficiency and reliability of WPT system is continuously necessary.

본 논문에서는 밀리피터파 대역의 응용에 적용될 수 있는 새로운 형태의 로트맨 렌즈를 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 새로이 제시하는 유전판 로트맨 렌즈는 도체손실과 포트간 상호간섭(mutual coupling)을 감소시킬 수 있는 특성을 지니고 있으며 밀리미터 대역에서 구현이 보다 용이한 구조이다. 기존의 렌즈가 도체 평판 구조인데 반해 제안된 렌즈는 유전판과 슬롯으로 구성되어 있으며 TE$_{0}$모드로 구동한다. 중심주파수 15 GHz에서 9개의 빔 포트와 9개의 배열포트로 구성된 렌즈를 9개의 TSA(Tapered Slot Antenna) 배열과 더불어 설계 및 제작하였다. 측정결과에 따르면 빔폭은 13 GHz에서 약 15$^{\circ}$이며 효율은 약 34 %를 나타냈으며 포트간 상호간섭은 주파수가 상승함에 따라 점진적으로 감소함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 밀리미터 파 대 역에서 제작 및 측정 장비의 부족으로 인해 설계주파수를 15 GHz로 크게 낮추었음에도 불구하고 효율은 평행 도체판 구조의 렌즈와 대등한 값을 얻었다. 향후 밀리미터파 대역에서 고유전율 막(high dielectric thin film) 형태로 제작된다면 도체 손실파 상호간섭을 크게 감소시킬 것이 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 차열소재로 사용되는 mica의 소수성을 향상시키기 위해 실란커플링제인 octyltriethoxysilane (OTES)으로 개질하였다. 개질한 mica의 FT-IR spectrometer, 젖음성 및 수 접촉각 평가를 한 결과 OTES가 mica 표면에 화학적으로 잘 결합되어 있고, 소수성도 크게 향상된 것으로 평가된다. mica와 OTES/mica를 이용하여 제조한 차열페인트의 반사율은 각각 73.9% (mica) 및 86.4% (OTES/mica)로 OTES/mica의 경우가 12.5% 증가하였다. 차열성능평가 결과는 OTES로 개질한 페인트가 개질 전과 비교하여 약 $7.2^{\circ}C$ 감소되어, 소수성 실란커플링제로 개질된 mica가 페인트의 차열성능을 향상시키는데 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

The fifth wheel coupler is a heavy automotive coupling structure which connects a tractor and a trailer used for heavy-duty trucks widely. It is subjected to various loads simultaneously such as rolling, pitching and yawing loads as well as coupling frictional and impact loadings. Most of existing couplers have been overdesigned and, therefore, it is necessary to reduce the dead weight to increase the fuel efficiency. The topology optimization was applied in order to find conceptual layout designs which could show major load paths and ribs locations, and then the size structural optimization was performed in order to determine the heights and thicknesses of coupler ribs with the predetermined various loading conditions for the development of a new slim coupler with a minimum weight and high enough strength and stiffness. As the results of the topology optimum design, an efficient new coupling structure for truck trailers was designed. The weight of the new fifth wheel coupler was reduced by 4.9 %, compared with the existing one, even though all strength requirements were satisfied. The fatigue test of the new coupler was performed with cyclic vertical loads (+78.4 to +235.2 kN) and horizontal loads (-91.2 to +91.2 kN) simultaneously at 1 Hz and the life of 2,000,000 cycles were achieved without failure.

최근 Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS)와 Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)의 장점을 효율적으로 사용하기 위한, 두 네트워크의 인터워킹 구조에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 UMTS와 WLAN은 그 전송량의 차이가 커서, 전송 품질이 저하되기 쉽다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 tight coupling을 기반으로 이동성 예측 기법을 이용한 동적인 서비스 품질 (QoS: Quality of Service)을 보장해주기 위한 두 네트워크 간 인터워킹 구조를 제안한다. 또한, 이렇게 제안한 인터워킹 구조를 ns-2로 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 그 결과 제안하는 인터워킹 구조가 기존의 인터워킹 구조에 비해 핸드오프 손실률을 줄이고, 핸드오프 순간 QoS를 제공해주지 않는 방법보다 훨씬 더 많은 양의 패킷을 전송한다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Steam flooding is widely used in heavy oil reservoir with coupling effects among the formation temperature change, fluid flow and solid deformation. The effective stress, porosity and permeability in this process can be affected by the multi-physical coupling of thermal, hydraulic and mechanical processes (THM), resulting in a complex interaction of geomechanical effects and multiphase flow in the porous media. Quantification of the state of deformation and stress in the reservoir is therefore essential for the correct prediction of reservoir efficiency and productivity. This paper presents a coupled fluid flow, thermal and geomechanical model employing a program (MATLAB interface code), which was developed to couple conventional reservoir (ECLIPSE) and geomechanical (ABAQUS) simulators for coupled THM processes in multiphase reservoir modeling. In each simulation cycle, time dependent reservoir pressure and temperature fields obtained from three dimensional compositional reservoir models were transferred into finite element reservoir geomechanical models in ABAQUS as multi-phase flow in deforming reservoirs cannot be performed within ABAQUS and new porosity and permeability are obtained using volumetric strains for the next analysis step. Finally, the proposed approach is illustrated on a complex coupled problem related to steam flooding in an oil reservoir. The reservoir coupled study showed that permeability and porosity increase during the injection scenario and increasing rate around injection wells exceed those of other similar comparable cases. Also, during injection, the uplift occurred very fast just above the injection wells resulting in plastic deformation.

A contactless recharging device for totally implantable middle ear systems has been designed as a pillow type that the user can recharge the implanted battery with taking a rest. The proposed device uses the electromagnetic coupling between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil. To supply sufficient power for the implanted circuits, each coil uses LC resonance and the implanted device uses voltage doubler. A power MOSFET is used for switching the DC voltage of LC parallel circuit and the switching frequency demands on a programmable frequency generator which is controlled by microcontroller. In order to improve the electromagnetic coupling efficiency at specific positions of coil which may vary with the displacement of head, the optimal location of receiving coil was studied, and the 5 transmitting coils in a pillow for recharging the implant module was designed. From such a recharging experiment, it was found that the proposed device could provide the sufficient operating voltage within the distance of 4 cm between pillow and the implanted device.
