The electro-optical payload of a low-earth orbit satellite is thermally decoupled with the bus, which supports a payload for a mission operation. The payload has a cooling unit of FPA(Focal Plane Assembly) which has a thermal behavior increasing its temperature instantly during an operation in order to dissipate a waste heat into the space. The FPA cooling unit should include a radiator and heatpipes with a sufficient performance in worst hot condition, and a heater design to maintain its temperature above a minimum allowable temperature in the worst cold condition. In this paper, we analyzed the thermal requirements and the heater design constraints from the thermal analysis results for the current thermal design of the FPA cooling unit and the design elements of the better heater design were found.

Shipping companies have become interested in the development of strategic ship assets management systems which are implemented for high competitiveness and business rationalization to meet the tough business environment of high oil prices and decrease in cargo. In this paper we introduce a ship assets management system that is suitable for the SAN(Ship Area Network) environment. This system is designed to execute business strategy of ship owners giving consideration to requirements of shipping stakeholders. In addition we have implemented it in a web-based ERP system (SHERP) which separates user interface and business logic. The SHERP is based on STEP and PLIB, which are international standards for data exchange of mechanical devices and parts. It also adopts a ship ontology to manage the ship information and knowledge during its life-cycle. The SHERP will be a concrete example of servitization of shipbuilding, as an information system which is used in ships and ship groups.

Waste refrigerator is the most large amount of item being recycled and the recycling process is the most complicated in WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) because refrigerator is biggest product and consists of various parts and materials such as ferrous, non-ferrous, and plastics. Recently, recycling process of waste refrigerator has been being more complex since large capacity 2 door refrigerators and standing Kimchi refrigerators with various material are distributed on custom market. In addition, recycling of valuable resource from waste refrigerator is mandatory by WEEEs recycling legislation; therefore, high efficiency recycling enough for economic and environment-friendly recovery of valuable resource through present technical situation analysis and comparison of recycling technologies of waste refrigerator with advanced country.

For the implementation of the crosstalk canceller, the filters with large length are needed, which is because that the length of the filters greatly depends on the length of the head-related impulse responses. In order to reduce the length of the crosstalk cancellation filters, many methods such as frequency warping, common acoustical pole and zero (CAPZ) modeling have been researched. In this paper, we propose a new method combining these two methods. To accomplish this, we design the filters using the CAPZ modeling on the warped domain, and then, we implement the filters using the poles and zeros de-warped to the linear domain. The proposed method provides improved channel separation performance through the frequency warping and significant reduction of the complexity through the CAPZ modeling. These are confirmed through various computer simulations.

Source terms of metal waste comprising a spent fuel assembly are relatively important when the spent fuel is pyroprocessed, because cesium, strontium, and transuranics are not a concern any more in the aspect of source term of permanent disposal. In this study, characteristics of radiation source terms for each structural component in spent fuel assembly was analyzed by using ORIGEN-S with a assumption that 10 metric tons of uranium is pyroprocessed. At first, mass and volume for each structural component of the fuel assembly were calculated in detail. Activation cross section library was generated by using KENO-VI/ORIGEN-S module for top-end piece and bottom-end piece, because those are located at outer core with different neutron spectrum compared to that of inner core. As a result, values of radioactivity, decay heat, and hazard index were reveled to be $1.40{\times}10^{15}$ Bequerels, 236 Watts, $4.34{\times}10^9m^3$-water, respectively, at 10 years after discharge. Those values correspond to 0.7 %, 1.1 %, 0.1 %, respectively, compared to that of spent fuel. Inconel 718 grid plate was shown to be the most important component in the all aspects of radioactivity, decay heat, and hazard index although the mass occupies only 1 % of the total. It was also shown that if the Inconel 718 grid plate is managed separately, the radioactivity and hazard index of metal waste could be decreased to 20~45 % and 30~45 %, respectively. As a whole, decay heat of metal waste was shown to be negligible in the aspect of disposal system design, while the radioactivity and hazard index are important.

It is of importance that all countries in worldwide, including EU and China, have adopted the Restrictions on the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) for all electronics. IEC62321 document, which was published by the International Electronics Committee (IEC) can have conflicts with the standards in the market. On the contrary Publicly Accessible Specification (PAS) for sampling published by IEC TC111 can be adopted for complementary application. In this work, we tried to find a route to disassemble and disjoint cellular phone sample, based on PAS and compare the screening methods available in the market. For this work, the cellular phone produced in 2001, before the regulation was born, was chosen for better detection. Although X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) showed excellent performance for screening, fast and easy handling, it can give information on the surface, not the bulk, and have some limitations due to significant matrix interference and lack of variety of standards for quantification. It means that screening with XRF sometimes requires supplementary tool. There are several techniques available in the market of analytical instruments. Laser ablation (LA) ICP-MS, energy dispersive (ED) XRF and scanning electron microscope (SEM)-energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) were demonstrated for screening a cellular phone. For quantitative determination, graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) was employed. Experimental results for Pb in a battery showed large difference in analytical results in between XRF and GF-AAS, i.e., 0.92% and 5.67%, respectively. In addition, the standard deviation of XRF was extremely large in the range of 23-168%, compared with that in the range of 1.9-92.3% for LA-ICP-MS. In conclusion, GF-AAS was required for quantitative analysis although EDX was used for screening. In this work, it was proved that LA-ICP-MS can be used as a screening method for fast analysis to determine hazardous elements in electrical products.

기원전 5000년 이집트에서부터 시작된 도금은 시간이 지남에 따라 점점 발전하여, 1900년대에 들어 전기를 이용한 도금공정이 개발되었고, 현재 뿌리산업으로써 각종 제조업에 널리 이용되고 있다. 도금 공정은 금속을 부식으로부터 보호하고, 제품의 심미성과 기능성, 생산성 등을 높이기 위해 주로 이용된다. 전주도금 공정은 완벽하게 동일한 형태의 생산품을 다량으로 제작 할 수 있기 때문에, 그 높은 생산성으로 주목 받고 있다. 특히, 나노/마이크로 크기의 정밀 소자 등을 가공하는 차세대 기술인 LIGA공정과 접목이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 몰드를 이용하여 복제하는 방식인 전주 도금은 도금공정이 끝난 후 몰드와 완성된 제품을 분리해내는 추가공정이 필연적으로 발생하게 되는데, 둘 사이의 접착력을 낮추기 위하여 몰드의 표면에 이형박리제를 도포하게 된다. 이형박리제로는 전기가 잘 흐르면서 접착력이 낮은 이산화 셀렌이나 중크롬산이 주로 이용되지만, 원활한 박리를 위해서는 그 두께가 30 um 이상 확보되어야 하기 때문에 정밀한 미세구조 전주도금이 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 또한 이와 같은 화학 약품들은 매우 유독하기 때문에 추가적인 폐수 처리 공정이 필요하며, 작업자의 안전을 위협하고 심각한 환경 오염을 초래한다는 추가적인 문제가 발생한다. 따라서, 매우 얇고 친 환경적이며 안전한 전주도금 이형박리제에 대한 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전주도금 몰드로 사용한 구리의 표면에 TCVD를 이용하여 단일 층 그래핀을 성장시킨 후, 그래핀이 코팅된 몰드에 구리를 전주도금하여 박리하였다. 박리 후 그래핀은 몰드에 손상 없이 남아있는 것을 Raman microscopy를 통해서 확인하였고, 몰드와 그래핀 사이의 접착력 (약 $0.71J/m^2$)에 비해 그래핀과 전주도금 샘플간에 낮은 접착력 (약 $0.52J/m^2$)을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같이 낮은 접착력을 통해 박리 시 표면구조의 손상 없이 정밀한 구조의 미세 패턴구조를 형성할 수 있었다. 전주도금을 이용한 전극 형성과 고분자와의 융합을 통해 유연기판을 제작하여 bending 실험을 진행하였다. $90^{\circ}$의 bending 각도로 10000회 이하에서는 저항의 변화가 없었고, LED chip을 mounting한 후 곡률반경 4.5 mm까지 bending을 진행하여도 이상 없이 LED가 발광하는 것을 확인하였다. 위와 같은 전주도금 공정을 이용하여 고집적 전자기기, 광학기기, 센서기기 등의 다양한 어플리케이션의 부품제조에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Inconel 713C which of a commercial Ni super alloy have the composition of 70 % Ni, 12 % Cr, 6 % Al and 4 % Mo. Mo is very expensive and have some economic value to recover in the alloy. In this study, liquid-liquid exraction(solvent extraction and stripping) has been performed to separate Mo from the synthetic leaching solution of spent Inconel 713C alloy and prepare to Mo powder by dying, evaporation and heat treatment. The experiments were conducted by using synthetic leaching solution which was prepared $NaMoO_4$ $2H_2O$ by dissolved in distilled water. Alamine336 and Cyanex272 dissolved in kerosene were used as extractants. The extraction percentage of Mo by Alamine336 is 99 % in the condition of the range of pH 1 to 4 and 1 % of concentration of Alamine336. The stripping solutions are used by HCl, $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ solutions and the concentrations were controlled by distilled water. The concentrations of HCl, $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$ as stripping solutions are increased, the stripping percentages of Mo are increased and the stripping percentage of Mo by $HNO_3$ is higher than other stripping solutions. After liquid-liquid extraction and heat treatment, $MoO_3$ powder which of the purity of 97.5 % was prepared.

Tracked military vehicles are operated under harsher conditions and climates than ordinary vehicles, and the components require high degrees of reliability and durability. A diesel engine is the main power generator, and when the vehicle breaks down, there is a high possibility of causing a large-scale accident. Therefore, analyzing the cause of engine failure can be important for preventing similar cases that may occur. In this study, we clarified the mechanism of engine failure according to an overhaul test, hardness measurement, and an analysis of the fracture surface. The overhaul test confirmed that a bolt was separated from the connecting rod (number 4). In addition, the hardness measurement results of the connecting rod bolt conformed to the standard, and it was found that the bolt fracture was ductile fracture through an analysis of the fracture surface. Based on the results, it was concluded that damage to a diesel engine of a tracked military vehicle was caused by separating and damage caused by loosening of the connecting rod bolts, resulting in cascading damage. The results of the study could be used as reference examples and could be useful for another study on engine failure analysis.

The train control system used in Gyeongbu-line is classified in ATC, IXL and CTC. Domestic railway signaling systems are being developed by electrification. In these systems the electrification of interlocking reaches 57% and the safety equipments of railway crossings in trackside devices have completed their development into an integrated system. Block systems of all the existing sections have not yet electrified and integrated so that they need a number of complement in terms of construction and maintenance. For ABS currently used in existing domestic lines, and LEU being installed in Gyeongbu and Honam lines, although a train is controlled by the signaling information of the same train in the same location, the system is separately installed so that the same information is separately divided and transmitted at the each distinct system. Therefore, in the conventional ABS and LEU, there are a lot of duplicate installed compartments such as lamp detection and a power supply unit. Hence, we have a lot of problems: for maintenance, a lot of manpower and costs need to be invested and the overall manufacturing costs get higher, as well as the construction costs by duplicate. Therefore, this paper suggest design to develop an integrated electronic Block Control Unit by the integration of the currently used ABS, and communication and electronic technology. We are to monitor and manage the block systems in the corresponding station by integrating. And we are to transmit information together with LEU, which is an ATS wayside transmitter.
