For a relatively small country like Korea, a radionavigation system using airships can be considered, which is to provide the navigation service utilizing the stratospheric airships that are deployed in the stratosphere at the altitude of around 20-23km, and which is an independent or a back-up radionavigation system other than current GPS or GLONASS. In this paper, a feasibility study on the constellation of stratospheric airships for the navigation system has been performed. A measure of a geometrical condition between a receiver and navigation transmitters. called the DOP (Dilution of Precision), determines the resulting positioning error of the navigation system, if the error of range measurement is predictable. Therefore, with assumption that the range measurement error of the stratospheric airship navigation system is quite similar to GPS. the several DOP values have been used to evaluate the performance of the navigation system with comparing with the DOP values of GPS as the reference values. To provide the position information of the navigation transmitters to users, a receiver cluster system fixed on the ground, called an IGPS (inverted GPS), is proposed, and the error is also evaluated using the DOP values. Five areas around five major cities in South Korea have been selected, and then by numerical simulations the DOP values are compared those of GPS to assess the performance of the proposed navigation system using stratospheric airships. The possible frequency bands have been proposed. and then link budget of the navigation transmitter has been analyzed for the proposed navigation system.

The effect of the number of nodes on the heat loss from a rectangular fin for a finite difference method is studied. There are two ways for selecting nodes for the upper half fin in this finite difference method. In the first place, all the ${\Delta}x$ are the same and all the ${\Delta}y$ are the same for the entire upper half fin. Incremental length of x (i.e. ${\Delta}x$) is divided by two near the fin tip while all the ${\Delta}y$ are the same for another way. The results show that 1) About 30 nodes are enough to obtain the satisfactory exact analysis (relative error < 5%) on the heat loss for a given range of Biot number in case of short fin (i.e. $L{\leq}2$). 2) Under usual circumstances (Bi<0.1), the relative error of heat loss between using 30 nodes and 90 nodes is within 4% for given range of non-dimensional fin length. 3) The relative error of the calculated heat loss (the number of node=90) as compared to the expected exact heat loss is less then 1.5% for Bi=0.1 and L=10 while that is over 13% for Bi=1.0 and L=10.

This paper presents the theoretical derivaion relating and image correlationcoeffcient capable of assessing image quality, with phase-error variance in antenna aperture domain. We show that when the phase-error variance of a range bin selected as an adaptive beamformer is known, the quality of the reconstructed image is predictable and moreover, the resultant correlation coeffcient is obviously greater than the derive dlower boudn. To support the derivation, real data are used for image formation where the dominant scatterer algorithm (DSA) is applied for phase compensations.

In this study, a process is proposed to calculate analytical correction values for the vertical shortening of all columns on all floors in a high-rise building that minimizes the error between the structural analysis predictions and values measured during construction. The weight ratio and the most probable value were accordingly considered based on the properties of the shortening value analyzed at several points in each construction stage and the distance between these measured points and unmeasured points at which the shortening was predicted. The effective range and shortening value normalization were considered using the column grouping concept. These tools were applied to calculate the error ratio between the predicted and measured values on a floor where a measured point exists, and then determine the estimated error ratio and estimated error value for the unmeasured point using this error ratio. At points on a floor where no measured point exists, the estimated error ratio and the estimated error value were calculated by applying the most probable value considering the weight ratio for the nearest floor where measured points exist. In this manner, the error values and estimated error values can be determined at all points in a structure. Then, the analytical correction value, defined as this error or estimated error value, was applied by adding it to the predicted value. Finally, the adequacy of the proposed correction method was verified against measurements by applying the analytical corrections to all unmeasured points based on the points where the measurement exists.

The purpose of this paper is to obtain representation of the mathematical special functions and the numerical values of the mean square errors for the quasi-ranges in random small smaples ($n \leq 30$) from the Weibull distribution with a shape and a scale parameters, and to estimate the scale parameter by use of unbiased estimator based on the quasi-range. It will be shown that the jackknife estimator of the range is worse than the range of random samples from the given distribution in the sense of the mean square error.

This paper presents a Cable Stayed Bridge Construction Management System, which consists of Structural System Identification Method (SSIM), Error Sensitivity Analysis and Optimum Error Adjustment & Prediction System. The 1st System Identification Method builds an error influence matrix using the linear superposition of each error modes. The 2nd SSIM also considers the second error mode term, which shows good error factor estimation. The optimal cable adjustment can be accomplished within the allowable range of both cable tension and camber. The Post processor, constituted with Motif and GL library on SGI platform, is useful for monitoring construction stage management by displaying construction data, adjustment and prediction results at each construction step.

The ring laser gyro(RLG) has been used extensively in strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS) because of the apparent of having wide dynamic range, digital output and high accuracy. The dithered RLG system has dynamic motion at sensor level, caused by the dithering motion to overcome the lock-in threshold. In this case, an attitude error is produced by not only the true coning of the vehicle motion but also the pseudo coning of the sensor motion. This paper describes the definition of the multi-frequency coning motion and its noncommutativity error to reject the pseudo coning error produced by the sensor motion such as the dithered RLG. The simulation results are presented to minimize the multi-frequency coning error.

For compensating the error motion of hydrostatic tables, we have introduced a way that the clarance of table is actively controlled corresponding to the amount of error with the nariable capillary,anmed as ACC. In previous paper,through the basic test, it was confirmed that by the use of ACC,the error motion within 2.7 .mu.m of a hydrostatic table could be compensated with the resolution of 27nm, 1/100 contollable range, and with the freqency bandwidth of 5.5Hz structurally. In this paper,we performed practital compensation of the linear and angular motion error of hydrostatic table using ACC. For improving the compensated motion accuracy,iterative control method is put into the control system. The experimental results show that by the simultaneous compensation of error,the linear and angular motion error are improved upto 0.25 .mu.m and 0.4arcsec,which are about 1/10 and 1/3 of the non-compensated motion errors respectively.

A hybrid finite element analysis was used to analyze the influence of ring gear rim thickness and spline number on the static properties of an epicyclic gear system with manufacturing errors. Both of these parameters affected the bearing force and critical stress. The effect of changes in the rim thickness on the load sharing between the gears depended on the type of manufacturing error. Ring flexibility improved the load sharing between planetary gears only in systems with planet tooth thickness or planet tangential errors; for other types of error, ring flexibility worsened the load sharing. To improve load sharing, rim thickness and spline number should be controlled within a specific range. The effect of the ring gear boundary condition was more apparent in a system with errors than in a normal system.

This study is concerned with the accuracy, the pattern of error with which subjects can interpolate the location of a pointer or a target between two graduation markers with various size on CRT display. Stimuli were graphic images on CRT with a linear, end-marked, ungraduated scales having a target for t base-line sizes. The location of a target is estimated in units over the range 1-99. Smallest error of estimates was at the near ends and middle of the base-line. The median error was less 2 units, modal error was 1, and most error(;99.6%) was within 10. Subjects had a more tendency to overestimate than to underestimate at the left-part of base-line in all siges, and an opposite tendency at the right-part. A proper size to minimize the interpolation error exists such that size 500. It is suggested that interpolation of fifths and even tenths will give a reguired accuracy for certain situations, and relative location and base-line size has a relevant attribute to interpolate.
