Verticality problem during the installation process in offshore wind turbine substructures could degrade the safety of the whole structures. Therefore, in this paper, the design of vertically adjustable transition piece(T.P.), using a PS anchor and grout of anchor socket in concrete gravity based substructure(G.B.S.), was proposed. T.P. was designed for 5MW offshore wind trubine and can adjust up to $0.5^{\circ}$ in verticality, occurred during installation. The design plan for each members and design procedure for T.P. was proposed. Then based on the proposed design, actual design targeting sea of Jeju-island was carried out. Finally, by use of non-linear 3D Finite Element Analysis(F.E.A.), evaluation of design was performed. As a result of evaluation, by checking load transfer mechanism and stress of T.P, proposed design was considered safe up to $0.5^{\circ}$ of adjustment.

Bio-char, obtained from biomass as a by-product of the pyrolysis process, is used successfully as a soil amendment and carbon sequester in this limited study. Recent and active research from literatures has extended the application of bio-char in the industry to promote sustainability and help mitigate the negative environmental impacts caused by carbon emissions. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of high-carbon bio-char as a carbon sequester and/or admixture in mortar and concrete to improve the sustainability of concrete. This paper presents the experimental results of an initial attempt to develop a cement admixture using bio-char. In particular, the effects of the water retention capacity of bio-char in concrete are investigated. The chemical and mechanical properties (e.g., the chemical components, microstructure, concrete weight loss, compressive strength and mortar flow) are examined using sample mortar mixes with varying replacement rates of cement that contains hardwood bio-char. The experimental results also are compared with mortar mixes that contain fly ash as the cement substitute.

In active sonar field, a target detection and localization based on a distributed sensor network has been much studied for the underwater surveillance of the coast. Zhou et al. proposed a target localization method utilizing the positions of target-detected sensors in distributed sensor network which consists of detection-only sensors. In contrast with a conventional method, Zhou's method dose not require to estimate the propagation model parameters of detection signal. Also it needs the lower computational complexity, and to transmit less data between network nodes. However, it has large target localization error. So it has been modified for reducing localization error by Ryu. Modified Zhou's method has better estimation performance than Zhou's method, but still relatively large estimation error. In this paper, a target localization method based on modified Zhou's method is proposed for reducing the localization error. The proposed method utilizes the geometry of the positions of target-detected sensors and a line that represents the bearing of target, a line can be found by modified Zhou's method. This paper shows that the proposed method has better target position estimation performance than Zhou's and modified Zhou's method by computer simulations.

The waveguide structure effects of a spot-size converter (SSe) of a $1.3\mu{m}$ FP(Fabry-Perot)-LD(Laser Diode) were investigated. Its coupling efficiency and alignment tolerance with a single-mode fiber (SMF) were carefully examined by using a 3dimensional BPM (Beam Propagation Method). It was shown that the fOlmation of enough length of straightened waveguide around the end of the sse region can substantially improve the optical coupling efficiency for a vertically tapered sse. In contrast, a down-taper structure for a laterally tapered sse has superior characteristics to an up-tapered one. We suggested good sse structures which can provide a high coupling efficiency as well as a large alignment tolerance with an .SMF. .SMF.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to design the adaptive structure of wavelet neural network with F-projection and geometric growing criterion. Geometric growing criterion consists of estimated error criterion considering local error and angle criterion which attempts to assign a wavelet function that is nearly orthogonal to all other existing wavelet functions. These criteria provide a methodology that a network designer can construct wavelet neural network according to one's intention. We apply the proposed constructing algorithm of the adaptive structure of wavelet neural network to approximation problems of 1-D and 2-D function, and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Alignment systems with multi-axis motions are applied to determine vertical arrangement of multilayer assembly such as LCD, PDP, and MLCC. This study reports the development of XY${\theta}$ alignment stage which is designed as thin-type structure and parallel actuations. The thin-type parallel XY${\theta}$ alignment stage is maintained below $1{\mu}m$ in repeatability error. The squareness and straightness also allow precise motion for the alignment by the developed stage. The measured error is ${\pm}6.25{\mu}m$ in the alignment experiment by the vision system on the parallel XY${\theta}$ alignment stage.

고 배속 광디스크 드라이브(ODD) 시스템에서 위치제어 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 디스크의 면 진동과 수평 진동과 같은 외란에 의한 오차를 감소 시켜야만 한다. 따라서 하드디스크를 포함한 여러 분야에서 뛰어난 외란 제거 성능을 보이고 있는 외란 관측기는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 그러나 ODD 같은 양산용 전자제품에 외란 관측기를 구현하기 위해서는 별도의 계산 장치가 필요하고, 출력신호를 직접 Feedback 신호로 활용해야 하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 ODD 시스템의 외란을 제거하기 위한 수정된 구조를 가지는 오차를 기초로 한 외란관측기(Error Based Modified Disturbance Observer, EM-DOB)를 제안한다. EM-ROB 시스템은 DOB 시스템에 비해 그 구조가 더욱 간편하고 쉽게 구현 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 그리고 제안한 EM-DOB 시스템의 특성을 연구하고 실험을 통해서 EM-DOB의 효용성을 입증하였다.

In this paper the adaptive crack propagation analysis based on the estimated local and global error in the element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is presented. It is possible to keep consistency and accuracy of analysis in each propagation step by adaptive analysis. The adaptivity analysis in crack propagation is achieved by adding and removing the node along the background integration cell that are refined or recovered as estimated error. These errors are obtained by calculating the difference between the values of the projected stresses and original EFG stresses. To evaluate the performance of proposed adaptive procedure, the convergence behavior is investigated lot several examples. The results of these examples show the efficiency of proposed scheme in crack propagation analysis.

본 논문에서는 Wavelet을 이용한 위장 영상의 질환 부위 특징을 추출하여 질환 부위 패턴을 인식할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 전처리 과정으로서 위장 영상이 형태정보는 입력 영상을 DWT(Discrete wavelet transform)에 의해 4레벨 DWT 계수 행렬을 구하고 계수 행렬의 특징에 따라 저주파 계수 행렬로부터 저주파 특징 파라미터 32개, 수평 고주파 계수 행렬로부터 수평 고주파 특징 파라미터 16개, 수직 고주파 계수 행렬로부터 수직 고주파 특징 파라미터 16개, 그리고, 대각 고주파 계수 행렬로부터 대각 고주파 특징 파라미터 32개 등 모두 96개의 특징 파라미터를 추출한 후 각각의 특징 파라미터를 최대 값+0.5로 최소 값을 -0.5로 정규화 하여 신경회로망의 입력 벡터로 사용하였다. 위장 영상 패턴 인식을 위한 신경회로망은 교사 학습을 요구하는 다층 구조의 오차 역전파(Error back propagation)알고리즘으로 하였고 구조적 특성을 이용하여 입력층, 중간층, 출력층의 계층 구조로 설계하였다. 설계된 신경회로망의 학습은 학습계수를 0.2로 모우멘텀을 0.6으로 설정하여 출력층 최대오차가 0.01보다 작을 때까지 수행하였으며 약 8000회 정도 학습한 결과 설정값 보다 작은 결과를 얻었고 질환의 종류나 위치, 크기에 관계없이 100%의 인식률을 얻었다.

In order to resolve problems according to the phase error in QPSK demodulator in the digital satellite broadcasting, the demodulator requires carrier recovery loop which searches for the frequency and phase of the carrier. In this paper the drawback of NCO of the conventional carrier recovery loop is to wastes a amount of power for the structure of Look-up table , we designed the structure of combinational logic without the Look-up table. In the comparison with dynamic power of the proposed NCO, the power of NCO with the Look-up table is 175[${\mu}$W], NCO with the proposed structure is 24.65[${\mu}$W]. As the result, it is recognized that loss power is reduced about one eighth. In the simulation of carrier recovery loop designed QPSK demodulator, it is known that the carrier phase is compensated.
