A turbo fan engine performance analysis program combined with a particle swarm optimization(PSO) has been developed to optimize the major design parameters of the combat aircraft gas turbine engine. The optimized parameters includes bypass ratio, fan pressure ratio, high pressure compression ratio and burner exit temperature. The objective parameters have been determined using a multi-objective function consisting of the net thrust and specific fuel consumption along a weight function. The basic model for the combat aircraft gas turbine engine has been selected as the F404 turbofan engine which is widely used in the combat aircraft, F-18 and Korean high level training aircraft, T-50. The optimal conditions of four parameters have been obtained for various design conditions.

In In this paper, we proposed a new JPEG2000 codec using multiresolution-based rendering (MRBR) technique for video compression of 3-dimensional digital cinema. We introduced discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for stereoscopic image and stereo matching technique in the wavelet domain. The disparity was extracted using stereo matching and transmitted with the reference (left) image. Since the generated right image was degraded by the occlusion lesion, the residual image which is generated from difference between the original right image and the generated one was transmitted at the same tine. The disparity data was extracted using the dynamic programming method in the disparity domain. There is high correlation between the higher and lower subbands. Therefore we decreased the calculation amount and enhanced accuracy by restricting the search window and applying the disparity information generated from higher subband.

As the proliferation of hydrogen electric vehicles accelerates, there is observed diversification in hydrogen refueling station models. This diversification raises safety concerns for different types of stations. This study conducted a quantitative risk assessment of a multi-vehicle hydrogen station, capable of simultaneously refueling cars, buses, and trucks. Utilizing Gexcon's Effects&Riskcurves Software, scenarios of fire and explosion due to hydrogen leaks were assessed. The study calculated the impact distances from radiative heat and explosion overpressure, and measured risks to nearby buildings and populations. The largest impact distance was from fires and explosions at dispensers and high-pressure storage units. High-pressure storage contributes most significantly to personal and societal risk. The study suggests that conservative safety distances and proper protective measures for these facilities can minimize human and material damage in the event of a hydrogen leak.

Damper springs in a drive-line absorb the impulsive torque generated when a lock-up clutch is connected directly, instead of via a fluid coupling. Design optimization and finite element analysis were performed to improve the shock- and vibration-absorption capacity of the lock-up clutch. For this purpose, a multi-body dynamics model was developed by including the main parts of a vehicle, such as an engine with a clutch, a transmission, drive shafts and wheels, and a whole mass of a vehicle. The spring constants were selected so that resonance of a system could be avoided. Damper springs were optimized on the basis of the spring constants, impulsive torques, compressed angles, spring counts, fatigue constraints, etc. Topology optimization was performed for three plates with the damper springs. The compliance was set up as an objective function, and volume fraction was fixed below 0.3. A new shape for the plates was proposed on the basis of the topology result.

In this paper, we performed thermodynamic energy balance analysis of the underground lined rock cavern for compressed air energy storage (CAES) using the results of multi-phase heat flow analysis to simulate complex groundwater-compressed air flow around the cavern as well as heat transfer to concrete linings and surrounding rock mass. Our energy balance analysis demonstrated that the energy loss for a daily compression and decompression cycle predominantly depends on the energy loss by heat conduction to the concrete linings and surrounding rock mass for a sufficiently air-tight system with low permeability of the concrete linings. Overall energy efficiency of the underground lined rock caverns for CAES was sensitive to air injection temperature, and the energy loss by heat conduction can be minimized by keeping the air injection temperature closer to the ambient temperature of the surroundings. In such a case, almost all the heat loss during compression phase was gained back in a subsequent decompression phase. Meanwhile, the influence of heat conductivity of the concrete linings to energy efficiency was negligible.

The performances of speech compression schemes appeared to be dependent on the response profiles to compressed stimuli and the features of individual languages to some extent. Although these response profiles were critical in comparing various compression outcomes, the related data were limited in number for Korean monosyllabic words. From the previous study, data from PNT (Preserving No Trait) compression was selected as a base set for comparison. In this study, the outcomes from PPT (Preserving Pitch Trait) and PTT (Preserving Time Trait) were analyzed under the same condition. Then, the properties of these three widely used representative compression schemes were quantitatively compared in normal hearing adults (N=20) for controlled Korean quintet digit sets (0 through 9). Results showed that PPT compression scheme exhibited the best perceptual performances for the Korean quintet digit sets in the final outcomes (PPT>PTT>PNT). The compression ratios of 50% performances were estimated as about 20%, 42%, and 44% for PPT, PTT, and PNT, respectively. The data indicated the influences of the salient psychoacoustic features of the three representative compressions on perceiving Korean monosyllabic digit words. This controlled procedure with monosyllabic quintet sets can evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of other compression schemes and may also contribute to diagnosing auditory processing disorders and fitting special hearing aids with compression issues.

본 논문에서는 영상데이터의 효율적인 압축과 전송을 위하여 이산 웨이블릿 변환(Discret Wavelet Trans-form)과 MPEG 부호화 방법을 이용한 영상 부호화 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 다해상도를 제공하는 계층적 피라미드 구조를 이용한다. DWT로 영상을 여러 개의 밴드들로 분해한 다음, 각 밴드에서 MPEG 부호화기에서 사용하는 방법을 그대로 이용하여, 광범위하게 쓰이는 MPEG 하드웨어나 소프트웨어를 재 사용한다는 이점을 가진다. 기존의 DWT-MPEG 방법[1]은 MPEG 부호화 방법을 쓰기 전에 웨이블릿 필터 분해를 여러번을 하여, 움직임 추정을 정확하게 하지 못하였으나, 제안한 방법은 웨이블릿 필터 분해를 한 번만 하고, MPEG 부호화를 할 때, 웨이블릿 분해를 한번 더 사용하여, 움직임 추정과 보상을 좀 더 개선되게 하였다. 실험 결과, 기존의 DWT-MPEG 방법보다 제안한 방법이 화질이나 압축면에서 좀 더 향상된 결과를 얻을 수가 있었다.

기존의 병렬 볼륨 렌더링 방법들은 프로세서간의 발생하는 많은 통신량 때문에 통신 속도가 매우 빠른 병렬컴퓨터를 이용하였고 통신속도가 느린 분산 환경에서는 구현이 불가능해 보였다. 또한 가시화하려는 볼륨 데이터도 점점 방대해지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 통신 속도에 구애받지 앉을뿐더러 매우 큰 볼륨데이터를 다루는 병렬/분산 볼륨 렌더링을 제안한다. 본 방법은 고비용을 필요로 하는 원격 메모리 접근 대신에 압축을 기반으로 하여 필요한 데이터를 지역 메모리에서 빠르게 복원함으로써 좋은 성능향상(speedup)을 나타낸다. 이것은 각 프로세서가 전체 볼륨 데이터를 모두 적재하고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 다라서 렌더링 과정중에 발생하는 프로세서간의 통신을 최소화할 수 있었고, 이런 방식은 높은 통신 비용으로 효율적 병렬/분산 처리가 힘든 분산 메모리 병렬 컴퓨터나 PC/워크스테이션 클러스터상에서 매우 적합하다.

MPEG-4 부호화기는 16×16 픽셀로 이루어진 매크로 블록을 기본 단위로 하는 비디오 객체에 대해 움직임 추정과 움직임 보상을 수행한다. 이때 이전 블록과 현재 블록간의 차이를 8×8 블록으로 BCT하여 압축한다. DCT는 영상 신호의 에너지를 낮은 대역으로 집중시켜 낮은 에너지를 갖는 고주파 성분을 제거하여 정보를 압축하므로 복원된 영상은 블록의 경계선이 표시되는 블록킹 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 4×4 블록과 8×8 블록을 이용하여 DCT하는 가변 블록 변환 방식을 사용한다. 이는 작은 크기의 블록을 사용하므로 블록내 주파수의 분포를 비교적 좁은 영역으로 변환할 수 있어 블록킹 현상을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 INTRA 프레임의 DCT 과정에서 4개의 DCT 변환 블록중 하나를 이웃하는 블록의 DC 계수와 화소값들을 이용하여 그 값을 예측하여 DCT계수를 결정하고 INTER 프레임에서는 간략화된 정수 DCT의 사용과 작은 블록단위의 작업으로 인한 부호화의 부담을 줄인 다.
