Purpose: Previous transtibial double bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction methods have several problems in graft length and tibial fixation. We introduce new surgical method that is less restrictive by graft length and is more stable with single tibial fixation. Operative technique: After diagnostic arthroscopy, we prepare the graft, ream the tibial tunnel and perform the procedure for TransFix tibial fixation. Femoral 2 tunnel is made and graft is passed via anteromedial (AM) portal. Tibial fixation is done and femoral 2 graft is fixed sequentially at each knee position. Conclusion: TtransFix tibial single fixation method in double bundle PCL reconstruction provides more stable fixation, more free graft selection and prevents graft damage by passing the graft via AM portal.

This paper aims to enhance the efficiency of bone fracture healing with bone plate made of fiber reinforced composite materials. The composite bone plate was designed as the same dimension and shape as the existing stainless steel bone plate. To find out the appropriate stacking sequence of the composite bone plate the variations of strain distributions were calculated using FE analysis when the bone plates were applied to the fracture site. From the analysis result it was found that the composite bone plate whose Young's modulus is lower than that of metal bone plate gave more uniform strain distribution and provided appropriate condition for callus formation and its development.

In this paper, finite element analyses were used to estimate the strain distribution at the fracture site of a tibia bone. A stainless steel bone plate and various composite bone plates were considered to find out the best conditions for callus generation while bone fracture was cured for 16 weeks. Through this research, the appropriate load condition which makes the strains between the appropriate range($2{\sim}10%$) was sought. From this analysis, it was found that lower level of external load is needed for the appropriate strain for the case of composite bone plate application and it was also found that the composite bone plate had potential advantages for effective bone fracture healing relieved stress shielding effect.

In SPS system, steel beams are used as not only temporary struts supporting the wale but main flexural members of building. Previous experimental works show that RC wale-steel beam joints have some flexural rigidity. In this paper, nonlinear analysis is performed using DRAIN-2DX program to investigate the behaviors of the underground composite frames constructed with SPS system when the rigidity of RC wale-steel beam joints change. Analysis variables are the procedure of construction, magnitude of lateral forces, and flexural rigidity of the RC wale-steel beam joint with stud connector. Analysis results show the effects of joint rigidity for the yielding process of frame and the moment and deflection at the mid-span of beam.

A continuous fine-tuning phase locked loop with an additional negative feedback loop has been proposed. When the phase locked loop is out-of-lock, the phase locked loop has a fast locking characteristic using the continuous band-selection loop. When the phase locked loop is near in-lock, the bandwidth is narrowed with the fine loop. The additional negative feedback loop consists of a voltage controlled oscillator, a frequency voltage converter and its internal loop filter. It serves a negative feedback function to the main phase locked loop, and improves the phase noise characteristics and the stability of the proposed phase locked loop. The additional negative feedback loop makes the continuous fine-tuning loop work stably without any voltage fluctuation in the loop filter. Measurement results of the fabricated phase locked loop in $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process show that the phase noise is -109.6dBc/Hz at 2MHz offset from 742.8MHz carrier frequency.

본 논문은 기존의 가스차단기와는 다른 차단동작을 가지는 새로운 형태의 가스차단기에 대한 특징을 검토한 것이다. 기존의 차단기에서 움직이던 가동부가 고정되고, 반대로 고정부이던 피스톤이 움직인다. 또한 기존 차단기의 고정부였던 고정 아크접점에 MDDM(Motor direct drive mechanism)을 채용하고, 반대편에 피스톤과 연결되는 소형 유압식 조작기를 설치함으로서 양방향 차단기(dual motion circuit breaker)를 구현하였다. 국내에서는 처음으로 MDDM을 실제 차단기에 적용한 사례로 판단되며, 기본 차단동자특성을 분석하여 향후 초고압 차단기에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 검토하였다.

In this paper, a hardware design method is proposed for high speed high precision neutron radiation measurements. Our system is fabricated to use a high performance A/D Converter for digital data conversion of high precision and high speed analog signals. Using a neutron sensor, incident neutron radiation particles are detected; a precision microcurrent measurement module is also included: this module allows for more precise and rapid neutron radiation measurement design. The high speed high precision neutron measurement hardware system is composed of the neutron sensor, variable high voltage generator, microcurrent precision measurement component, embedded system, and display screen. The neutron sensor detects neutron radiation using high density polyethylene. The variable high voltage generator functions as a 0 ~ 2KV variable high voltage generator that is robust against heat and noise; this generator allows the neutron sensor to perform normally. The microcurrent precision measurement component employs a high performance A/D Converter to precisely and swiftly measure the high precision high speed microcurrent signal from the neutron sensor and to convert this analog signal into a digital one. The embedded system component performs multiple functions including neutron radiation measurement for high speed high precision neutron measurements, variable high voltage generator control, wired and wireless communications control, and data recording. Experiments using the proposed high speed high precision neutron measurement hardware shows that the hardware exhibits superior performance compared to that of conventional equipment with regard to measurement uncertainty, neutron measurement rate, accuracy, and neutron measurement range.

A low-noise phase-locked loop(PLL) with three negative feedback loops has been proposed. It is not easy to improve noise characteristics with a conventional PLL. The added negative feedback loops reduce the input voltage magnitude of voltage controlled oscillator which determines the jitter characteristics, enabling the improvement of noise characteristics. Simulation results show that the jitter characteristics are improved as a negative feedback loop is added. In the case of power consumption, it slightly rises by about 10%, but jitter characteristics are improved by about two times. The proposed PLL was simulated with Hspice using a 1.8V 180nm CMOS process.

기존의 단방향 차단기 소전류 차단성능 해석에서는 해석의 편의를 위해 실제 차단기의 고정부(고정아크접점과 피스톤)를 움직이게 하고 가동부(퍼퍼 실린더 노즐 등)를 고정시켜 놓고 해석을 하였다. 기존 차단기에서는 이런 식으로 해석을 하여도 아무런 문제가 발생하지 않았으나 이번 당사 모델인 550kV 50kA 1점절 차단기는 차단성능 향상을 위해 양방향으로 구동이 이루어지고 있어서 기존 방식으로 해석을 하는 것이 거의 불가능하다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 상용프로그램인 PHOENICS를 이용하여 실제 차단기와 마찬가지로 가동부가 움직이도록 모의하는 방법을 개발하여 550kV 1점절 차단기의 소전류 차단성능을 평가하였으며, 앞으로 개발될 모든 복잡한 형태의 차단기도 쉽게 해석할 수 있는 계기를 마련하였다.

An extremely small size multi-loop phase-locked loop(PLL) keeping phase noise performances has been proposed. It has been designed to have the loop filter made of small single capacitor with multiple Frequency Voltage Converters (FVCs) because the main goal is to make the size of the proposed PLL extremely small. Multiple FVCs which are connected to voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) make multiple negative feedback loops in PLL. Those multiple negative feedback loops enable the PLL with the loop filter made of an extremely small size single capacitor operate stably. It has been designed with a 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The simulation results show that the proposed PLL has the 1.6ps jitter and $10{\mu}s$ locking time.
