This paper described the performance test and sound characteristics of helicopter 'Tail-Fan' anti-torque system. In this research, Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI) developed 'Tail-Fan' anti-torque system for a helicopter and carried out performance and sound capturing tests of even and uneven tail fans. The performance test is carried out and the noise signals which are generated during the test are saved with microphones at the same time. The performance test's results meet the design requirements. Tone-corrected perceived noise level is reduced by replacing the even product with the uneven one.

Purpose : To develop a novel approach to calculate the sensitivity profiles of the phased array coil for use in non-uniform intensity correction. Materials and Methods : The proposed intensity correction method estimates the sensitivity profile of the coil to extract intensity variations that represent the scanned image. The sensitivity profile is estimated by fitting a non-linear curve to various angles of projections through the imaged object in order to eliminate the high-frequency image content. Filtered back projection is then used to compute the estimates of the sensitivity profile of each coil. The method was applied both to phantom and brain images from 8-channel phased-array coil and 4-channel phased-array coil, respectively. Results : Intensity-corrected images from the proposed method have more uniform intensity than those from the commonly used 'sum-of-squares' approach. By using the proposed correction method, the intensity variation was reduced to $6.1\%$ from $13.1\%$, acquired from the 'sum-of-squares'. Conclusion : The proposed method is more effective at correcting the intensity non-uniformity of the phased-array surface-coil images than the conventional 'sum-of-squares' method.

In the mobile antenna systems for satellite multimedia communications, the active way antenna having a low sidelobe antenna pattern is described in this paper. This designed and fabricated array antenna is satisfied with international beam pattern regulation on moving states. The subarray of the proposed mobile antenna system is arranged with a stair-planar structure and non-periodic array spacing. This subarray is designed with three-layered microstrip patch as both receiving and transmitting radiator of which are improved with antenna gain and bandwidth. Also, the optimum subarray spacing is designed to make the lowest sidelobe pattern by genetic algorithm. In addition, the characteristics of a GA-perturbed array are investigated from simulated and measured beam pattern results.

In this paper, we propose a new array antenna scheme which has an improved side lobe level (SLL) as well as a simplified feeding network and a high gain. The proposed array scheme is based on a non-uniformly excited sub-array. For analysis, we use an array factor of sub-array antenna. In the simulation results, the simulated SLL and gain provide more than 18.43 dB and 26.63 dBi, respectively. For the verification of the proposed design scheme, the prototype antenna with $16{\times}8$ radiating elements was designed by the proposed array scheme. The measured SLL and gain are more than 19.85 dB and 25.53 dBi, respectively. This measurement result indicates that the proposed array scheme is reasonable.

연속 매체, 특히 비디오 데이타에 대한 일반 사용자 연산에는 재생뿐만 아니라 임의 속도 탐색 연산, 정지 연산, 그리고 그 외 다양한 연산이 있다. 이 연산 중에서 원하는 화면을 빨리 찾는 데에 유용한 고속 전진(FF: fast-forward)과 고속 후진(FB: fast-backward)은 재생 연산과는 달리 비순차적인 디스크 접근을 요구한다. 이러한 경우에 디스크 부하가 균등하지 않으면 일부 디스크에 접근이 편중되어 서비스 품질이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 디스크 배열을 이용한 저장 시스템에서 디스크 접근을 고르게 분산시키기 위하여 '소수 라운드 로빈(PRR: Prime Round Robin)' 방식으로 연속 매체를 디스크에 배치하는 기법에서 문제가 됐던 낭비된 디스크 저장 공간을 신뢰도 향상을 위해서 사용하는 '그룹화된 패리티를 갖는 소수 라운드 로빈(PRRgp: PRR with Grouped Parities)' 방식을 제안한다. 이 기법은 PRR 기법처럼 임의 속도 검색 연산에 있어서 디스크 배열을 구성하는 모든 디스크의 부하를 균등하게 할뿐만 아니라 낭비됐던 디스크 저장 공간에 신뢰도를 높이기 위한 패리티 정보를 저장함으로서 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 신뢰도 모델링 방법으로 조합 모델과 마르코프 모델을 이용해서 결함발생율과 결함복구율을 고려한 신뢰도를 산출하고 비교.분석한다. PRR 기법으로 연속 매체를 저장하고 낭비되는 공간에 패리티 정보를 저장할 경우에 동시에 두 개 이상의 결함 발생 시에 그 결함으로부터 복구가 불가능하지만 PRRgp 기법에서는 약 30% 이상의경우에 대해서 동시에 두 개의 결함 발생 시에 저장한 패리티 정보를 이용한 복구가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 패리티 그룹의 수가 두 개 이상인 경우에는 두 개 이상의 결함에 대해서도 복구가 가능하다.Abstract End-user operations on continuous media (say video data) consist of arbitrary-rate search, pause, and others as well as normal-rate play. FF(fast-forward) / FB(fast-backward) among those operations are desirable to find out the scene of interest but they require non-sequential access of disks. When accesses are clustered to several disks without considering load balance, high quality services in playback may not be available. In this paper, we propose a new disk placement scheme, called PRRgp(Prime Round Robin with Grouped Parities), with enhanced reliability by using the wasted disk storage space in an old one(PRR: Prime Round Robin), in which continuous media are placed on a disk array based storage systems to distribute disk accesses uniformly. The PRRgp can not only achieve load balance of disks consisting of a disk array under arbitrary-rate search like PRR, but also improve reliability by storing parity information on the wasted disk space appropriately. We use combinatorial and Markov models to evaluate the reliability for a disk array and to analyze the results. When continuous media like PRR are placed and parity information on the wasted disk space is stored, we cannot tolerate more than two simultaneous faults. But they can be recovered by using stored parity information for about 30 percent as a whole in case of PRRgp presented in this paper. In addition, more than two faults can be tolerated in case there are more than two parity groups.

The equivalent circuit for the RLH-TL is proposed considering radiation effects due to the inclusion of a series capacitor and shunt inductor in a unit cell for the right/left-handed transmission line(RLH-TL). The design equations to realize a specific phase shift at a given frequency is also provided. The S-parameters for unit cells with N=1, 3, 5, and 10 are analyzed in various aspects based on the EM and circuit simulations especially for the purpose of controlling radiation along RLH-TL's. A modification formula for the radiation rate per unit cell is also proposed for good agreement between the EM and circuit simulation results.

Hardness and adhessiveness of cooked rice were measured with rice grain and rice block methods by texturemeter. In grain method 3, 4 and 5 grains were arranged and subjected to the texture test with a plastic plunger at 95% strain and 0.5mm/sec speed. The hardness were 7.4kg, 7.5kg and 10.0kg respectively and the coefficient of variation ranged from 37.0% to 25.9%, which was mainly due to the irregular geometry of the grains in each specimen set Adhesiveness could not be measured with this method. A cylindrical rice block($H/D=20mm{\times}15mm$) was made for the texture analysis. The hardness was 2.1 kg with coefficient of variation ranging from 2.8 to 7.0%, and the block method was s more reproducible compared to the grain method. A grooved plastic plunger and platform were designed for the measurement of adhesiveness of cooked rice block. The adhesiveness was 0.68kg sec and the coefficient of the variation was 4.6%.

Compared with the TWS(Track While Scan) tracking that uses scan-to-scan correlation at search illuminations for targets track, a phased array radar can use adaptive tracking which assigns additional track illuminations and the track formation range can be improved as a result. In this paper, an adaptive tracking, the search and track illuminations of a target are synchronized such that the extra illuminations are evenly distributed between the search illuminations, is proposed. Markov chain and track formation range for the proposed adaptive tracking are shown with them for the conventional TWS. The simulation result shows that the proposed adaptive tracking has improved track formation range by 27.6 % compared with the conventional TWS tracking under same track confirmation criterion.

Bacteriophage P2 sir mutants are inefficient helpers for their satellite bacteriophage P4. The term, "P2 sir-associated helper inefficiency" has been used to define this phenomenon and it has been suggested that the DNA sequence difference between the cos region of P2 and that of P4 is responsible. To test this hypothesis, P4 derivative phage, P4 sid71 cosP2, containing the cos region of P2 and sid71 allele was constructed through several in vitro DNA manipulation steps. Its burst size was determined using a one-step growth experiment. The results showed that the substitution of the cos region of P2 for the cos region of P4 in P4 sid71 cosP2 overcame "P2 sir-associated helper inefficiency". P4 sid71 cosP2 stock phages prepared with P2 wild type helper and P2 sir helper were analyzed using a CsCl buoyant equilibrium density gradient experiment. The results revealed that the phage particles containing three copies of the P4 genome were the predominant particles in both cases.
