Even though a rough diamond shape is irregular and rugged, it is easy to be processed to make gem, shaped facets (table, crown, pavilion and girdle) were precisely treated because they influence on the evaluation of diamond grading. Those specifications suitable for the standard round brilliant cut diamond polishing were investigated and in 95 % statistical confidence interval, standard deviation, mean and acceptable tolerance were examined. According to these variables (size, angle, depth, and thickness) distribution, the frequency analysis of ratings and proportions were compared with each other. The correlation between each variables and the evidence of influence represented in proportion were determined by the regression analysis applying LSM (Least Square Method). In this research, it was recognized that table sizes of the diamond jewels and pavilion depth (in %) influence the rating decision and in particular, the depth of pavilion acting as the main factor of proportions, also plays an important role in optical phenomena.

Recently, complaints or environmental problems caused by the noise and dust generated from crusher of the mine and quarry are emerging. Therefore mining facilities such as crushers and mills have been installed in an underground. In order to facilitate crusher equipments in the underground, excavation of large space is required and then the stability of the large space underground structure is an important issue. In this study, the blast experiments, which use a block of the limestone, are performed. Based on the blast experiments, the numerical model was prepared and simulated using dynamic fracture process analysis code(DFPA) with considering the rising time of applied borehole pressure and microscopic tensile strength variation. Comparing the non-dimensional crack length and no-dimensional tensile strength obtained from blast experiments and numerical analyses, the input parameters of DFPA code for predicting a radial tensile crack in limestone blasting were determined.

The fabrication of ceramic machine components by injection molding(CIM : Ceramic Injection Molding) is critically dependent on the shaping and binder extraction techniques. Injection molding is of keen interest to ceramic industries because CIM is suitable for making an intricate shape and manufacturing cost is lower than other process when production scale is large. The success of the molding process is dependent on the correct formulation of the organic vehicle and the achievement of optimum filler loading. Fine alumina powders and polyethylene binder systems were employed to prepare moldable blend then produce a simple specimen by compression molding. Flow characteristics of the mixture was evaluated by viscosity measurement. Optimum binder system and ceramic volume loading for injection molding were determind. A good debinding technique was utilized to improve the quality of debinded parts and save the debinding time. The simple ceramic part was successfully sintered after debinding and its microstructure examined with SEM revealed good consolidation.

R&D investment also has a gestation period similar to other investments in economics. The gestation period originates from time lag effect of input and output. Thus it is necessary to consider time lag effects when analyzing the relationship between firms' R&D investment and R&D performance. The main objective of this research is to estimate the length of time lag effect of R&D investment. The Almon distribution lag model was applied to estimate the time lag effect. The firm level panel dataset was established from 2002 to 2009. The net value of R&D investment and the number of patent applications were used to measure R&D input and output, respectively. This method found the estimated time lag to be 1~2 years across all datasets. The same analyses were applied to chemical, metal, electronic, exact science, and machinery industries' data. And we found there were differences among sectors in regard to the time lag effect.

In this paper, we focus on how to calibrate multi-cameras easily and how to efficiently detect quad-copters with small-numbered particles. Each particle is a six dimensional vector that is composed of 3D position and 3D orientation of a quad-copter in the space. Due to curse of dimensionality, that leads to explosive computational costs with a large amount of high-dimensioned particles. To detect efficiently, we need to put more particles in very promising spaces and few particles in other spaces. Though computational cost is lowered by minimizing particles, in order to track a quad-copter with multiple cameras in real-time, multiple images from the cameras should be synchronized and analyzed. Therefore, lots of the computations still need to be done. Because of this, GPGPU(General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) is implemented for parallel computing. This method has been successfully tested and gives accurate results in practical situations.

RP(Rapid prototyping) technology is widely used to reduce the cost and cycle time of new prototypes in industries as new product development cycle time currently shortened and the voice of customers also become to be diversified. In this study, RP skill used in making jewelry products was adapted to develop the metallic inlaying base of traditional handicraft products as the significance of CAD/CAM technologies was increased. The RP technology showed that it helped the handicraftsman to cut the groove for inlaying metalic wire more easily, uniformly and diversely than conventional handicraft technique in making the groove with undercut shape. Therefore this study showed that RP technology applied for the metalic inlaying base achieved more elaborate, intricate and uniform patterns, not depending on craftsmanship, compared with conventional handicraft skill in terms of quality, cost and delivery.

In this study, a 2-W micro-gas turbine engine was designed using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology, and analytical and experimental investigations of its potential under actual combustion conditions were performed. An ultra-micro-gas turbine contains a turbo-charger, combustor, and generator. A compressor, turbine blade, and generator coil were manufactured using MEMS technology. The shaft was supported by a precision computer numerical control machined air bearing, and a permanent magnet was attached to the end of the shaft for generation. An analysis found that the cooling effect of the air bearing and compressor was sufficient to cover the combustor heat, which was verified in an actual experiment.

Nondestructive method can include both testing itself and analysis or evaluation of the testing results. Although vast amount of testing can be accomplished in a fairly short amount of time due to the advancement of electronic technology. it is really difficult matter to identify whether the indication found during testing corresponds to be a real defect. Thus, in ultrasonic testing, advanced digital signal processing techniques have been widely studied in order to identify the shape of the defect during testing, and one of the signal processing techniques, synthetic aperture focusing technique(SAFT) was tried for holes machined in carbon steel plate in this study. Result showed that signal to noise ratio has been improved considerably compared to the result from original RF signals.

미국 QED Technologies(이하 QED)가 세계 최초로 상용화한 자기유동유체연마장치(이하 MRF$^{(R)}$-Magnetorheological (Fluid) Finishing)는 역시 QED가 개발한 간섭계 응용장비인 SSI$^{(R)}$(Subaperture stitching interferometer)와 같이 운용하면 1um 이하의 나노광학산업에서 ${\lambda}/10$ 또는 ${\lambda}/100$ 이상 더 정밀한 영역을 손 쉽게 제조할 수 있는 획기적인 공정을 가능하게 한다. 이러한 능력 때문에 미국, 유럽 및 일본 등의 첨단광학회사들은 96년 상업화된 이후 MRF$^{(R)}$와 SSI$^{(R)}$ 공정을 앞다투어 도입하며 기존공정이 지니고 있던 많은 한계들을 극복했다. 우리나라의 MRF와 SSI의 도입은 선진국에 비해 10년 이상 늦어진 2008년에 이르러서야 최초의 장비가 도입되었으며 이후 꾸준히 그 응용분야가 확장되어 가고 있다. 2012년에는 한국천문연구원과 그린광학에 SSI의 최신장비인 ASI(Aspheric Stitching Interferometer)와 MRF가 각각 도입됐다. 이를 계기로 해서 한국사무소에서 제안을 하여 QED사의 총괄대표이사인 Dr. Andrew Kulawiec, 응용기술부장인 Paul Dumas, QED 한국사무소의 오한석 박사와 신지식 박사가 그간의 기술동향을 발표하는 기술강연회가 지난 2012년 10월 23일 개최되었다. 한국천문연구원, 그린광학과 한국광학기기산업협회의 후원으로 한국천문연구원 은하수홀에서 개최된 이번 강연회에서는 다음과 같은 세가지 주제를 다루었다. 1. MRF의 원리 및 응용분야의 현황과 장비개발 현황 2. SSI의 원리 및 응용분야의 현황과 장비개발 현황 3. 광학설계와 가공실현성에 도움이 되는 비구면을 표현하는 새로운 식 Q-Polynominal 이번 강연회는 특히 QED의 공정 및 장비개발자들이 직접 참가한 기술강연회로 지난 2004년 및 2008년에 열린 기술강연회와 차별화되며, 25개 업체 약 50여 명이 참석하여 성황리에 마무리되었다. 향후 국내의 사용자 그룹에 대한 세미나를 정기적으로 개최해 QED의 첨단광학기술에 대한 정보교환의 장을 확대할 예정이며, 기술강연회도 가능한 한 정기화할 예정이다. 이번 강연회의 주제 중 우선 MRF와 SSI에 대한 논의를 광학세계 1월호에 소개하고자 한다.
