In this paper, an stepped-impedance low pass filter(SI-LPF) of triangular-patch type is proposed. A SI-LPF designed according to the standard SI-LPF design procedure is folded as a right angled triangle. The figure of merits of this structure are the adjustabilities of the cut off frequency, the stopband and the attenuation pole frequency of the proposed LPF by varying the resultant slots after folding the SI-LPF compactly for miniaturization. The size of the fabricated LPF is $13.75mm{\times}6.875mm$, which is 24.4 % reduced one compared to that of the conventional SI-LPF. The measured results of the LPF show return loss of less than -10 dB at passband, insertion loss of less than -10 dB at stopband and wide stopband from 3.5 GHz to 10 GHz (about $3f_c$).

A numerical study has been carried out for two- and three-dimensional buoyant turbulent flow in a stairwell model. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved with the authors'own computer program. Two models by the Boussinesq approximation and the density-gradient form are used for buoyancy terms in the governing equations. Two- and three-dimensional predictions of the velocity and temperature fields are presented and the results are compared with experimental data. Comparisons have also been made in detail with two-dimensional predictions. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulations have predicted the overall features of the flow satisfactorily. A better agreement with experiment is achieved with three-dimensional simulations.

This paper describes a numerical study of three-dimensional buoyant turbulent flow in a stairwell model with three convective differencing schemes, which include the upwind differencing scheme, the hybrid scheme and QUICK scheme. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved with a two-equation turbulence model. The Boussinesq approximation is used to model buoyancy terms in the governing equations. Three-dimensional predictions of the velocity and temperature fields are presented and are compared with experimental data. Three-dimensional simulations with each scheme have predicted the overall features of the flow fairly satisfactorily. A better agreement with experimental is achieved with QUICK scheme.

In this paper, dual-band bandpass filter by using Pseudo-Interdigital Stepped-Impedance Resonator(PI-SIR) and Open-Loop Ring Resonator(OLRR) is proposed. The first passband and second passband are formed by PI-SIR and the second passband is reinforced by an OLRR. In a PI-SIR the first band and second band are easily and exactly adjusted by characteristic impedance ratio and electrical length ratio. The proposed design method may be confirmed to be useful from fabricated and measured results for dual-band bandpass filter operated at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

This study aims to analyze citizen's preference of rail station lifts(stairs & Escalation) and estimate the user benefit of Escalation, Also it includes how high is the height of the entrance ramp when citizens want to set up an escalator. 89 percent of subway users prefer escalators and said escalators are needed for stairs higher than the double-deck stairs. Especially It is higher for the age older than 30 and woman. Therefore, personnel characteristics and facility characteristics should be considered in relation to escalator installation. Based on the multiple logistic model, WTP(Willing to pay) was estimated at 34.37 won in a survey conducted to estimate practical user benefit(physical side) of escalator.

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the failure mechanism of geosynthetic-reinforced segmental retaining walls in tiered arrangement using reduced-scale model tests. In this laboratory model tests, a reduced scale model of the full-scale geosynthetic-reinforced wall which was constructed in Geotechnical Experimental Site at Sungkyunkwan University was used to perform a study on the failure mechanism. In order to a high degree of realism, the geometry of the wall and the material properties were selected applying Similitude Laws was used to perform laboratory model tests. And contrary to the previous failure tests with various surcharge pressures, the failure by the tired wall weight was observed. Primary variables considered in the model tests include the different offset distance between the tiers and the different reinforcement length in the lower tier and as a result of the parametric study, a different failure pattern was observed.

This paper propose the new approach of the quantity effect by high efficiency inductor characteristic to the harmonic suppression of the lowpass filter. We applied the reliable de-embedding process in order to extract the precise elements values. Moreover, for the effective its application and comparison, the variable stepped impedance low pass filters with a same specification are designed. The proposed procedure is expected to handle the overall filter performance and to construct a synthesized equivalent circuit from its determined specification.

The conflict of opposing pedestrian traffic-flow in a subway station(made up of stair, passageway, and escalator) diminishes the convenience and mobility of its users. In addition, the station's efficiency would be negatively affected by the growth of delay and queue length in pedestrian facilities. As these phenomena have been resulted by the overlapping in pedestrian's traffic-line, the separation of it would alleviate these problems. For the criteria and methodology of separation, this paper has investigated the bi-directional queue length and delay on the entrance of each facility (stair, passageway and escalator). Since the pedestrian flow exists bidirectionally, we have used the weighted average by inflow rate for the delay value. For the optimization of the separation, the Genetic Algorithm has been utilized in order to minimize the delay.

In this paper, the design and the fabrication of dual-band bandpass filter using two dual-mode resonators is presented. Dual-mode resonator using a short stub is miniaturized by inter-digital capacitor and stepped impedance. Two dual mode resonators are designed to have different resonant frequencies, one for the lower passband and the other for the upper passband. Transmission zero is positioned at low or high rejection bands with a sharp skirt characteristic. Dual-band operation can be achieved using dual feeding structure. For WLAN, the proposed filter at 2.45/5.25 GHz is designed and fabricated. The size of the filter is as compact as 1$10.83\;mm{\times}5.3\;mm$.

본 논문에서는 임베디드 시스템 기반 NXT 로봇을 제어하여 길찾기, 미로찾기, 장애물오르기 등의 주행을 수행하는 프로그램을 개발하는 것이다. 미로 찾기는 RBG 센서를 통해 트랙의 색을 구분하여 정해진 색을 따라 주행하는 하는 것이며, 장애물 미로구간에서는 NXT 로봇 자신이 장애물을 넘지 못한다는 것을 인식하여 미로를 찾아 빠져나가도록 초음파 센서를 이용한다. 초음파 센서로 자신이 통과할 수 있는 진입로로 판단되면 주행을 계속하며, 그렇지 않은 경우에는 좌우회전을 통해 미로구간을 통과한다. 마지막 계단식 장애물 구간에서는 접촉센서와 초음파 센서를 통해서 물체의 높이를 가늠하여, 접촉센서 값과 초음파 센서 값을 통해 프로그램은 통과 여부와 계단높이를 판단한다. 실험결과 로봇은 제어프로그램 시나리오에 따라 적절하게 수행함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이와 같은 로봇 제어를 확대하면 사람을 대신하는 재난구조 활동, 전쟁시 지뢰탐지 및 적 정찰활동, 지하공동구 및 지하매설물 안전 점검활동 등을 수행하는 업무로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 사용한 로봇은 I-Brick이라는 마이크로프로세서를 통해 프로그램을 구동되며, 저 전력으로 I-Brick과 그와 연결된 센서와 서브 모터 등을 구동하고 제어하도록 설계하였다.
