This paper examines the design for improving the wiper system of rotorcraft. During rotorcraft operation, the wiping performance and excessive clearance can decrease. The wiper system consists of a wiper arm assembly, motor, convertor and flex drive. If there is a problem with the wiper system, the operation ability decreases because the operation is restricted in a rainy environment. There are two main causes of the problem of the wiper system: the lifting forces acting on the wiper arm in aircraft flight and the excessive gap of the components. To remedy these two problems, the wiper arm was improved. The improvements included increased contact pressure on the wiper arm (spring tension), improved gear clearance, and material and shape changes. Durability test, aircraft ground test and flight test were carried out to verify the improved shape, and it was confirmed that the wiping performance and clearance problems were solved. Currently, the rotorcraft is operated without problem by applying the improved shape, and this design improvement process will be a useful reference for future rotorcraft development.

본 연구에서는 자동유량측정시설에 의하여 실시간으로 생산되는 자동유량측정 자료의 정상성 여부를 판단하는데 중요한 적정 측정 신뢰구간을 실시간으로 예측할 수 있는 기술을 개발하였다. 전세계적으로, 현대적인 유량측정이 시작된 이래 연속유량 산정을 위한 방법은 수위-유량관계곡선을 이용하는 방법 외에 실무적으로 활용 가능한 방법은 거의 전무한 실정이다. 수위-유량관계곡선을 이용하는 방법은 연속수위를 계측하여 이에 해당하는 연속유량을 산정하는 방법으로 수위와 유량간에 일정한 관계를 가지는 정상적인 흐름을 보이는 자연하천의 경우에 정확도가 매우 높다. 그러나 감조나 구조물 등에 의해 유량이 조절되는 경우에 유량산정의 정확도는 현저히 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 수위에서 유량을 환산하는 방법이 아닌 유량을 직접 연속으로 측정하는 방법이 꾸준히 연구되어 왔고, 이 중 가장 대표적인 방법이 자동유량측정 방법이다. 그러나 자동유량측정 방법은 유량을 연속으로 측정할 수 있다는 장점에 반해 측정된 유량의 정확도를 높이기가 매우 어렵다는 단점도 가지고 있다. 계측 자체의 기술적 한계는 주로 계측기기적인 문제로 이는 전자기, 통신 기술 등 첨단 기술의 발전과 함께 다양한 현장 시험을 통해 폭넓은 개선이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 아직 기술적 완성도가 완전하지 못한 현실에서, 현재 설치되어 있는 자동유량측정 유량자료의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서는 각각의 계측 시점에서 자료가 정상적으로 산정되고 있는지에 대한 검정이 필요하고, 이는 자동유량측정 자료의 정확도 확보에 매우 중요한 관건으로 작용할 수밖에 없다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구에서는 조석성분과 유출성분을 분리하여 예측하는 방법을 새롭게 개발 적용하였다. 자료는 자료의 시간해상도 증감에 따른 실제 예측의 정확도 증감을 고려하여 가장 적절하다고 판단되는 시자료를 사용하였으며, 자료간 상관을 분석하여 주 입력 자료로 팔당댐 방류량, 한강대교 지점 수위, 전류 수위를 이용하였다. 모형의 예측 능력을 극대화하기 위하여 조석 영향을 받는 자료의 경우는 웨이블릿 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용하여 순수 유출성분과 조위성분을 분리하여 별도로 적용하였다. 그리고 예측을 위한 모형은 실시간 자료기반 모형으로 그 안정성이 인정된 서포트벡터머신(support vector machine)을 이용하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 한강대교 지점의 순수 유출성분과 조위성분의 유량을 각각 예측한 후 두 결과를 합성하여 최종 한강 대교 지점의 유량을 산정하였다. 조석성분을 분리하여 한강대교 지점의 유량을 예측한 결과 대부분의 예측치가 95% 예측구간에 포함되었다. 그리고 조석성분을 분리하지 않은 모형과 조석성분을 분리한 모형의 예측 능력을 비교한 결과, 조석성분을 분리한 모형이 예측이 정확도가 높았다. RMSE의 경우 분리하지 않은 모형대비 23%의 예측오차가 감소하였고, NSC의 경우 0.92에서 0.95로 예측의 정확도가 증가하였다.

With rapid development of science and technology and recent widening of mankind's range of activities, development of coastal waters and the environment have emerged as global issues. In relation to this, to allow more extensive analyses, the use of satellite images has been on the increase. This study aims at utilizing hyperspectral satellite images in determining the depth of coastal waters more efficiently. For this purpose, a partial image of the research subject was first extracted from an EO-1 Hyperion satellite image, and atmospheric and geometric corrections were made. Minimum noise fraction (MNF) transformation was then performed to compress the bands, and the band most suitable for analyzing the characteristics of the water body was selected. Within the chosen band, the diffuse attenuation coefficient Kd was determined. By deciding the end-member of pixels with pure spectral properties and conducting mapping based on the linear spectral unmixing method, the depth of water at the coastal area in question was ultimately determined. The research findings showed the calculated depth of water differed by an average of 1.2 m from that given on the digital sea map; the errors grew larger when the water to be measured was deeper. If accuracy in atmospheric correction, end-member determination, and Kd calculation is enhanced in the future, it will likely be possible to determine water depths more economically and efficiently.

A cross-coupled charge pump with internal pumping capacitor, witch is advantages from a point of minimizing TFT-LCD driver IC module, is newly proposed in this paper. By using a NMOS and a PMOS diode connected to boosting node from VIN node, the pumping node is precharged to the same value each pumping node at start pumping operation. Since the lust-stage charge pump is designed differently from the other stage pumps, a back current of pumped charge from charge pumping node to input stage is prevented. As a pumping clock driver is located the font side of pumping capacitor, the driving capacity is improved by reducing a voltage drop of the pumping clock line from parasitic resistor. Finally, a layout area is decreased more compared with conventional cross-coupled charge pump by using a stack-MIM capacitors. A proposed charge pump for TFT-LCD driver IC is designed with $0.13{\mu}m$ triple-well DDI process, fabricated, and tested.

In this paper, we propose a method for control of temperature and the direction of wind in an air-cooler using thermal images and fuzzy inference rules in order to achieve energy saving. In a simulation for controlling temperature, a thermal image is transformed to a color distribution image of $300{\times}400$ size to analyze the thermal image. A color distribution image is composed of R, G and B values haying temperature values of Red, Magenta, Yellow, Green, Cyan and Blue. Each color has a temperature value from $24.0^{\circ}C$ to $27.0^{\circ}C$ and a color distribution image is classified into height hierarchies from level 1 to level 10. The classified hierarchies have their peculiar color distributions and temperature values are assigned to each level by temperature values of the peculiar colors. The process for controlling overall balance of temperature and the direction of wind in an indoor space is as follows. Fuzzy membership functions are designed by the direction of wind, duration time, and temperature and height values of a color distribution image to calculate the strength of wind. After then, the strength of wind is calculated by membership values of membership functions.

Precision positioning is necessary for various use of high-resolution UAV images. Basically, GCP is used for this purpose, but in case of emergency situations or difficulty in selecting GCPs, the data shall be obtained without GCPs. This study proposed a method of improving positional accuracy for x, y coordinate of UAV based 3 dimensional point cloud data generated without GCPs. Road vector file by the public data (Open Data Portal) was used as reference data for improving location accuracy. The geometric correction of the 2 dimensional ortho-mosaic image was first performed and the transform matrix produced in this process was adopted to apply to the 3 dimensional point cloud data. The straight distance difference of 34.54 m before the correction was reduced to 1.21 m after the correction. By confirming that it is possible to improve the location accuracy of UAV images acquired without GCPs, it is expected to expand the scope of use of 3 dimensional spatial objects generated from point cloud by enabling connection and compatibility with other spatial information data.

강우패턴이 유출반응에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것은 수문연구에서 중요한 주제 중 하나이며 댐유역에 대해 기상 및 유출자료를 사용하여 이를 상세히 분석함으로써 이수기에 필요한 수자원을 예측 및 확보하는 것은 중요하다. 강우패턴이 유출반응에 미치는 영향을 상세히 분석하기 위해서는 댐유역의 상류부터 하류까지 많은 유출관측지점의 자료를 사용해야 하지만 상류의 소유역들은 대부분 미계측유역이라는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 자료공간확장 방법을 사용하여 미계측유역의 유출자료를 생성하고 이 자료들을 분석함으로써 강우패턴이 유출반응에 미치는 영향을 자세히 분석하였다. 먼저 안동댐유역내 관측유역인 안동댐, 도산, 소천유역을 대상으로 1989년부터 2009년까지의 기간 중 20개의 사상에 대하여 분포형 모형인 GRM 모형의 적용성을 조사하였으며 전반적으로 0.5 Nash-Sutcliffe 계수 이상의 타당한 모형효율성 결과를 얻었다. 그 후 자료공간확장 방법을 사용하여 안동댐 상류에 위치한 47개의 미계측 소유역들의 유출자료를 생성하였으며 세 관측유역을 포함한 총 50개 유역의 유출자료를 연구에 사용하였다. 그리고 총 50개 유역의 평균강우량 시계열 자료를 생성하고 이동평균방법을 사용하여 이 평균강우량 자료를 강우강도-지속시간 곡선으로 변환하였다. 강우패턴과 유출반응간의 관계를 분석하기 위해 합리식의 유출계수와 강우강도비율을 사용하였으며 유출계수와 강우강도비율을 계산하기 위해 유역별 도달시간을 사용하였다. 여기서 강우강도비율은 강우강도지속시간 곡선을 사용하여 첨두강우강도를 도달시간에 해당하는 평균강우강도로 나눠준 값이다. 그리고 이 유출계수와 강우강도비율을 유역면적에 대해 도시함으로써 그 경향을 조사하였다. 그 결과 20개 사상은 유출계수, 강우강도비율과 유역면적을 사용하여 물리적으로 타당한 네 가지의 타입으로 분류될 수 있었다. 이 네 가지 타입은 강우의 이동 및 분포와 상관이 있었는데 첫번째 타입은 안동댐 유역전체에 강우가 거의 등분포하는 경우, 두 번째는 강우가 유역의 상류방향으로 이동하는 경우, 세 번째는 강우가 유역의 하류방향으로 이동하는 경우, 그리고 네 번째는 강우가 유역에 무작위로 분포하는 경우였다. 이것은 어떠한 사상에 대해서도 유출계수와 강우강도비율을 유역면적에 대해 도시함으로써 강우패턴과 유출간의 관계를 분석할 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다. 그리고 이 네 가지 타입에 대한 강우사상들의 비율은 각각 65%, 20%, 10%, 그리고 5% 였다. 이 타입별 강우사상의 비율은 향후 강우-유출관계에 의한 수자원 예측 및 확보에 활용될 수 있다.

In this paper, the Magneto-Electric(ME) dipole array antenna with dual-polarization in the X-Band is proposed and it is implemented and measured. The proposed array antenna is composed of 32 single ME dipole antenna and a Teflon PCB. 1 × 1 ME dipole antenna is implemented dual-polarization by radiating vertical polarization and horizontal polarization from two pairs of radiators. 2-port feeding structures are realized by lamination process using LTCC. And, each port independently feeds the radiator through a Γ-shaped feeding strip with isolation between ports. The Teflon PCB used in the antenna array has a 4-layer structure, and 2-port is fed through the top and bottom layers. The λ_g/4 transformer is applied to the transmission line of the Teflon PCB for impedance matching of the arrayed antenna and the Teflon PCB, and the optimal parameters are obtained through simulation. The measured maximum antenna gains of port 1 was 18.2 dBi, Cross-pol was 1.0 dBi. And the measured maximum antenna gains of port 1 was 18.1 dBi, Cross-pol was 3.2 dBi.

Scattered x-ray generated by digital radiography systems also have the advantage of increasing signals, but ultimately detectability is reduced by decreasing resolution and increasing noise of x-ray images transmitted objects. An indirect method of measuring scattered x-ray in a modulation-transfer function (MTF) for evaluating resolution in a spatial-frequency domain can be considered as a drop in the MTF value corresponding to zero-frequency. In this study, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was used as a patient tissue equivalent, and MTFs were obtained for various thicknesses to quantify the effect of scattered x-ray on resolution. X-ray image signals were observed to decrease by 35 ~ 83% with PMMA thickness increasing, which is determined by the absorption or scattering of x-rays in PMMA, resulting in reduced MTF and increased scatter fraction. The method to compensate for MTF degradation by PMMA resulted in the MTF inflation without considering the optical spreading generated by the indirect-conversion type detector. Data fitting or zero-padding are needed to compensate for MTF more reasonably on edge-spread function or line-spread function.

Recent eruptive activity at Kīlauea Volcano started on at the end of April in 2018 showed rapid ground deflation between May and June in 2018. On summit area Halema'uma'u lava lake continued to drop at high speed and Kīlauea's summit continued to deflate. GPS receivers and electronic tiltmeters detected the surface deformation greater than 2 meters. We explored the time-series surface deformation at Kīlauea Volcano, focusing on the early stage of eruptive activity, using multi-temporal COSMO-SkyMed SAR imagery. The observed maximum deformation in line-of-sight (LOS) direction was about -1.5 meter, and it indicates approximately -1.9 meter in subsiding direction by applying incidence angle. The results showed that summit began to deflate just after the event started and most of deformation occurred between early May and the end of June. Moreover, we confirmed that summit's deflation rarely happened since July 2018, which means volcanic activity entered a stable stage. The best-fit magma source model based on time-series surface deformation demonstrated that magma chambers were lying at depths between 2-3 km, and it showed a deepening trend in time. Along with the change of source depth, the center of each magma model moved toward the southwest according to the time. These results have a potential risk of including bias coming from single track observation. Therefore, to complement the initial results, we need to generate precise magma source model based on three-dimensional measurements in further research.
