A 300Wh class flywheel energy storage system using high Tc superconductor bearings(HTC SFES) is being developed by KIMM and KEPRI. HTC SFES consists of a flywheel rotor, superconductor bearings, a motor/generator and its controller, touch-down bearings, vacuum chamber, etc. Stiffness and damping values of superconductor bearings were experimentally estimated to be 67,700N/m and 29Ns/m respectively. The present HTC SFES was designed to have maximum operating speed of 33000 rpm, which is far above 2 rigid body mode critical speeds of 645rpm and 1,275rpm. Leaf-spring type touch-down bearing were utilized to have the system pass safely through the system critical speeds. It has been experimentally verified that the system can run stably up to 28,000 rpm so that HTC SFES is now expected to reach up to its maximum design speed of 33,000rpm without any difficulties. The Halbach array motor & generator has also been proven its effectiveness on transferring electrical energy to a rotaing composite flywheel in kinetic form.

For their application as one-component photoresists, we prepared epoxy terpolymers containing oxime-urethane and benzophenone groups by the radical polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), metha-cryloxyethyl benzophenoneoxime urethane (MBU), and N-(4-benzoyl)phenylmaleimide (BPMI). The terpolymer composition was optimized to provide the most photosensitive photoresist. The photo-decomposition reaction of the oxime-urethane groups in the terpolymer was monitored by UV absorption spectroscopy, and the photo-crosslinking reaction of the epoxy terpolymer was observed by measuring the normalized thickness. The photosensitivity of the epoxy terpolymer increased as the amount of BPMI and MBU units increased up to 16 and 24 mol%, respectively. Among the terpolymers we prepared, terpolymer T-II(contents of GMA, MBU, BPMI are 75, 19, 6.1 mole%, respectively) exhibited the highest photosensitivity ( $D_{c}$ $^{0.5}$ = 430 mJ/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and had a moderate contrast (${\gamma}$$^{p}$ = 1.23). Negative-tone micropatterns having a line width of ca. 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were obtained by developing the system with chloroform.m.

The carbon nanotube / poly-vinylidene fluoride (CNT/PVDF) composite films for the nano-generator devices were fabricated by spray coating method using the CNT/PVDF solution, which was prepared by adding PVDF pellets into the CNT dispersed N-Methyl-2-pyrroli-done (NMP) solution. The flexible CNT/PVDF composite films were investigated by the scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that the CNTs were uniformly dispersed in the PVDF matrix and thickness of the films was approximately $20{\mu}m$. Fourier transform infra-red spectra were used to investigate crystal structure of the as-spray-coated CNT/PVDF films, and we found that they revealed extremely large portion of the ${\beta}$ phase PVDF. The capacitance of the CNT/PVDF films increased by adding CNTs into the PVDF matrix, and finally saturated. However, the resistance didn't show any saturation effect in the CNT concentration range of 0~4 wt%. Finally, the resulting nano-generator devices revealed reasonable current output after given mechanical stress.

In order to handle the problem that puncture patterns will change the position distribution of original information bits and frozen bits in polar codes, which affects performance of puncture polar codes further, a minimum row weight and polar spectrum based puncture polar codes construction algorithm (called PA-MRWP) is proposed in this paper. The algorithm calculates row weight of generator matrix and sorts the row weight in ascending order first. Next, the positions with the minimum row weight are selected as initial puncture positions. If the rows with the same row weight cannot all be punctured, polar spectrum based auxiliary puncture scheme is used. In sub-channels with the same row weight, rows corresponding to the polarized sub-channels with higher reliability are selected as puncture positions to construct puncture vector, and the reliability is calculated based on polar spectrum. It is actually a two-step selection strategy, the proposed minimum row weight puncture (MRWP) algorithm is used for primary selection and polar spectrum based auxiliary puncture is used for adjustment. Simulation results show that, compared with worst quality puncture (WQP) algorithm, the proposed PA-MRWP algorithm and Gaussian approximation-aided minimum row weight puncture (GA-MRWP) algorithm provide gains of about 0.46 dB and 0.29 dB at bit error rate (BER) of 10^-4, respectively when code length N=400, code rate R=1/2. In addition, the proposed puncture algorithms improve the BER performance significantly with respect to quasi-uniform puncture (QUP) algorithm.

For the element ${\alpha}{\in}GF(p^n)$, two kinds of bases are known. One is a conventional polynomial basis of the form $\{1,{\alpha},{\alpha}^2,{\cdots},{\alpha}^{n-1}\}$, and the other is a normal basis of the form $\{{\alpha},{\alpha}^p,{\alpha}^{p^2},{\cdots},{\alpha}^{p^{n-1}}\}$. In this paper we consider the method of generating normal bases which construct the finite field $GF(p^n)$, as an n-dimensional extension of the finite field GF(p). And we analyze the code sequence generating algorithm and derive the implementation functions of code sequence generator based on the normal bases. We find the normal polynomials of degrees, n=5 and n=7, which can generate normal bases respectively, design, and construct the code sequence generators based on these normal bases. Finally, we produce two code sequence groups(n=5, n=7) by using Simulink, and analyze the characteristics of the autocorrelation function, $R_{i,i}(\tau)$, and crosscorrelation function, $R_{i,j}(\tau)$, $i{\neq}j$ between two different code sequences. Based on these results, we confirm that the analysis of generating algorithms and the design and implementation of the code sequence generators based on normal bases are correct.

Characteristics of exhaust from chimney of electricity generator are analyzed based on CFD when Waveguide-Below-Cutoff (WBC) array is installed in order to achieve the certain level of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding. The main purpose is prediction of average and maximum velocity of exhaust. The results reveal that: 1) When the specification of waveguide is given as 80-diameter, 400-length, and the gap of 20 mm, the shielding effectiveness (SE) is 140dB. The average and maximum velocity of exhaust in the chimney with WBC Array can be represented as exponential functions. 2) As the number of WBC increases, the velocity in the chimney dwindles. 3) Under the situation that WBC with 80 mm diameter is located at intervals of 20 mm, the average velocity can be approximated by $25.5344{\times}e^{(-0.0098{\times}N_{WBC})}$ with input velocity of 15 m/s. In addition, the determination coefficient is 0.915, which is sufficiently high.

One of the major research topics in the area of the development of intelligent tutoring system(ITS)is the control of instructional mechanism consisting of lesson plans,curriculum plans,and discourse plans.This paper describes a method of building the lesson plans among these three instructional plans based on the case-based planning.It is more efficient to retrieve the lesson plan from the plan memoru than to generate it whenever an instructional goal is selected.The retrieved lesson plan may be modified to build more adaptive plan for the current goal.We have developed a lesson plan generator that has such capabilities as a component of an ITS for teching indefinite intergration.We also have devised a description language to represeint the generalized form for the given arithmetic expression as an instructional goal and a curriculum tree to represent the lesson units required to master the subject matter.The result of this research could be used either by a developer of the lesson plan generator in the other area of ITS or by human teacher as a curriculum in the actual class.

Wood pyrolysis oil(WPO) has been regarded as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. However, WPO is not feasible for use directly in diesel engines due to its poor fuel quality such as low energy density, high acidity, high viscosity and low cetane number. The most widely used approach to improve WPO fuel quality is to blend WPO with other hydrocarbon fuels that have a higher cetane number. However, WPO and fossil fuels are not usually blended because of their different polarity. Also, clogging and polymerization problems in the fuel supply system can occur when the engine is operated with WPO. Polymerization can be prevented by diluting WPO with other alcohol fuels. However, WPO-alcohol blended fuel does not produce self-ignition. Therefore, additional cetane enhancement to the blended fuel is required to enhance auto-ignitability. In this study, WPO was blended with n-butanol and two cetane enhancements(PEG 400 and 2-EHN) for application to a diesel generator. Experimental results showed that the WPO-butanol blended fuel achieved a very stable engine operation under maximum WPO content of 20 wt%.

IDDQ Testing is a very effective testing method to detect many kinds of physical defects occurred in CMOS VLSI circuits. In this paper, we consider the most commonly occurring bridging faults in current CMOS technologies and develop pattern generator for IDDQ testing using efficient IDDQ test algorithms. The complete set of bridging faults between every pair of all nodes(internal and external nodes) within circuit under test is assumed as target fault model. The merit of considering the complete bridging fault set is that layout information is not necessary. Implemented test pattern generator uses a new neighbor searching algorithm and fault collapsing schemes to achieve fast run time, high fault coverage, and compact test sets. Experimental results for ISCAS benchmark circuits demonstrate higher efficiency than those of previous methods.
