본 논문에서는 레일형 GB-SAR의 단점을 극복하고자 차량에 원형레일을 탑재하여 신속한 기동을 확보하고 합성구경의 길이를 늘리며 영상영역을 확장한 Arc-SAR의 설계안을 제시한다. 하드웨어 측면에서 살펴보면, 밴형 차량의 상부에 원형레일을 설치하고 마이크로파 송, 수신 안테나를 탑재한 후 레일 위를 1mm 이내의 정밀도로 이동시키며, 자료를 획득하게 된다. 이때 안테나에 연결된 동축 케이블은 차량 내부의 송, 수신장치에 연결되는데 RF대역에서 완벽히 작동하는 슬립링이 없기 때문에 내부 송, 수신 장치를 턴 테이블위에 장착하여 외부 안테나의 이동과 동일한 각도로 회전하여, 동축 케이블의 꼬임을 방지하게 된다. 송, 수신 장치의 구성은 벡터 네트워크 분석기를 기반으로 마이크로파 앰프, 마이크로파 스위치로 구성되며, 통합 제어 소프트웨어를 통해 외부 안테나의 이동과 함께 제어된다. 한편, Arc-SAR 영상의 구현은 원형레일을 따라 얻어지는 합성구경의 기하학적인 특수성을 감안하여 최초로 시도될 것이다. 이 시스템은 RTK-GPS를 장착하여 지반변형 모니터링 시 차량 이동 오차를 최소화 하고자 하며, 이외에 고정형 산란체를 이용하여 차량 이동 오차를 보정하고자 한다. 또한 AWS (Automatic Weather System)을 장착하여 위상의 대기보정을 동시에 수행할 것이다. 이 시스템은 차량 탑재에 의한 기동성의 확보로 침수나 침하 등 긴급 재난 지역에 즉각적인 대응이 가능하며, 대형 구조물의 주기적인 변형 모니터링 등에 활용성이 클 것이다.

3D imaging systems using 2D phased arrays have a large number of active channels, compelling to use a very expensive and bulky beamforming hardware, and suffer from low volume rate because, in principle, at least one ultrasound transmit-receive event is necessary to construct each scanline. A high speed 3D imaging method using a cross array proposed previously to solve the above limitations can implement fast scanning and dynamic focusing in the lateral direction but suffer from low resolution except at the fixed transmit focusing along the elevational direction. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new real-time volumetric imaging method using a cross array based on the synthetic aperture technique. In the proposed method, ultrasound wave is transmitted successively using each elements of an 1D transmit array transducer, one at a time, which is placed along the elevational direction and for each firing, the returning pulse echoes are received using all elements of an 1D receive array transducer placed along the lateral direction. On receive, by employing the conventional dynamic focusing and synthetic aperture method along lateral and elevational directions, respectively, ultrasound waves can be focused effectively at all imaging points. In addition, in the proposed method, a volume of interest consisting of any required number of slice images, can be constructed with the same number of transmit-receive steps as the total number of transmit array elements. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method can provide the same and greatly improved resolutions in the lateral and elevational directions, respectively, compared with the 3D imaging method using a cross array based on the conventional fixed focusing. In the accompanying paper, we will also propose a new real-time 3D imaging method using a cross array for improving transmit power and elevational spatial resolution, which uses linear wave fronts on transmit.

This study was performed to Investigate size of droplet sprinkled from mini-sprinkler. Twelve different kinds of the sprinkler having various structures and sizes of nozzle orifices were selected and tested. Diameters of the droplet reached at several distances from a sprinkler were measured by a machine vision system and the volume median diameters (VMM) were determined statistically. The size of droplet was not affected much by the size of nozzle orifice of a sprinkler but was rather more affected by structure of the sprinkler, especially by the shape of spreader of the sprinkler. Experiment of varying pressure of sprinkling water validated that the size of droplet was inversely proportional to water pressure powered by 1/3. Hence the size of droplet at any water pressure could be easily estimated from experimental data. The size of droplet increased as travel distance of the droplet increases in a relationship of and order function. The size of droplet of the tested sprinkler were in the ranges of 100-300fm within 1m of droplet travel distance, 230~470${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ within 1~2m of droplet travel distance and 300~770${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ within 2~3m of droplet travel distance.

This study is just to be carried out to grasp the efficiency of jet stream excavating for the ground. Changing the dynamic pressure, nozzle diameter, distance off the ground, we measured the impulse, the excavated depth, the excavated width. According as each dynamic pressure increases from 100 to $500gf/cm^2$, the impulse of the jet stream increases from 43 to 114gf, from 52 to 227gf, from 114 to 506gf, from 137 to 768gf, in 4, 6, 8, 10mm nozzles respectively, but it makes no difference in the value of distance within 50cm off ground. The excavated depth increases at the invariable rate in accordance with nozzle diameter, dynamic pressure, nozzle distance. We obtain the equations relevant to the ground I, II as follows: $$L_I=[0.01(H/r-100) -0.43\cdot\iota+11.78]{\cdot}D/4$$ $$L_{II}=[0.03(H/r-100) -0.34\cdot\iota+6.39]{\cdot}D/4$$ where, $L_I,\;L_{II}$ are respectively the excavated depths of the ground I, II, cm; H is the dynamic pressure, $gf/cm^2\;:\;\iota$ is the distance off the ground, cm; D is Nozzle diameter, mm; r is the specific weight, $1gf/cm^2$.

A mathematical model was proposed to analyze the damped motion of contact lens which is initially displaced from the equilibrium position. The model incorporates the differential equations and their numerical solution program, based on the formulations of restoring force arising from the capillary action in the tear-film layer between the lens and cornea. The model predicts the capillary action induced surface tension, time dependence of displacement of lens when it is released from the equilibrium position. It seems that the motion of lens is similar to the typical over-damped oscillation caused by the large viscous friction in the liquid layer between the cornea and lens. The effect of variables such as base curves, lens diameters and thickness of tear film layer were illustrated by the computer simulation of the derived program. The time required for the lens to return to the original position increases as the liquid layer thickness increases and it decreases as the diameter of lens increases. With the certain value of base curve the time interval is found to be minimum. The free vibrations of lenses were also simulated varying the parameters such as base curve, diameter, layer thickness. The resonant frequencies are inversely proportional to the liquid layer thickness and it increases as the lens diameter increases. The resonant frequency of lens has a maximum when the diameter is of certain value. If the external impulse or force of the same frequency as the natural frequency of contact lens acted on the cornea in vivo it may cause an excessive movement and thus it might cause the distortion 10 the lens or be pulled off the eye.
