This paper presents the systematic optimal design of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring for high performance obstacle detection using effective beam overlap. Basically, a set of low directivity ultrasonic sensors of the same type are arranged in a circle at regular intervals with their beams overlapped. First, both real and simplified beam patterns of an ultrasonic sensor and several sensor models for obstacle position estimation within its beam pattern are introduced. Second, the obstacle detection range of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring and its simple sensor model for obstacle position estimation are described. Third, for both conic and non-conic shaped beam pattern, the design indices of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring for minimal positional uncertainty in obstacle detection are defined. Fourth, the constraints imposed on the structural parameters of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring to guarantee non empty beam overlap and to avoid excessive beam overlap are derived. Fifth, the optimal number of ultrasonic sensors for a given radius of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring and the optimal radius of an overlapped ultrasonic sensor ring are determined. Throughout this paper, the MA40B8 from Murata Inc. is taken as a representative commercial low directivity ultrasonic sensor.

A high-brightness electron beam source for a microfocus X-ray tube has been fabricated using a carbon-nanotube (CNT) field emitter. The electron source consists of cathode that includes a CNT field emitter, a beam-extracting grid, and an anode that accelerates that electron beam. The microfocus X-ray tube requires an electron beam with the diameter of less than 5 $\mu$m and beam current of higher than 30 $\mu$A at the position of the X-ray target. To satisfy the requirements, the geometries of the field emitter tips and the electrodes of the gun was optimized by calculating the electron trajectories and beam spatial profile with EGUN code. The CNT tips were fabricated with successive steps: a tungsten wire with the diameter of 200 $\mu$m was chemically etched and was subsequently coated with CNTs by chemical vapor deposition. The experiments of electron emission at the fabricated CNT tips were performed. The design characteristics and basic experimental results of the electron source are reported.

The MC-50 cyclotron at Korea Canter Center Hospital is now operational for neutron therapy and medical radioisotope production. Design features, mechanical structures and operating characteristics of the MC-50 are described in this paper. Optimum operating condition for this cyclotron has been determined by the repetitive running, and the performances of the internal beam have been investigated through the measurements of intensity and spatial distribution of the internal beam as a function of the radius of the cyclotron. Routinely, the 40 $\mu$A of 50 MeV protons have been obtained at first Faraday cup with a extraction efficiency of 61%.

Hyperthermal neutral beam (HNB)은 박막 성장에 필요한 에너지와 반응 입자들을 동시에 공급할 수 있기 때문에 특히, 저온에서 박막을 성장시킬 때 매우 유용하다. 이와 같은 목적으로 race track 형태의 자기장 구조를 갖고 있는 2.45 GHz electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma를 이용한 HNB 소스를 개발하였다. HNB 소스에서 인출되는 입자들은 중성 입자 뿐만 아니라 이온이나 전자와 같은 하전 입자들로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 양질의 HNB를 얻기 위해서는 하전 입자들의 구성 비율을 최소화해야 한다. HNB 소스는 하전 입자의 구성 비율을 1 % ($1{\mu}A/cm^2$) 이하가 되도록 설계되었다. 이것을 위해서 영구 자석의 자기장을 이용한 plasma limiter를 설계하였다. 대부분의 전자는 limiter 앞에 형성된 자기장의 구조와 반응하여 주로 gradient B drift와 curvature drift를 통하여 차단되고, 이온은 로렌츠 힘을 받아 빔 축으로 부터 벗어나도록 하였다. Limiter의 특성을 연구하기 위해서 정전탐침을 limiter에서 빔 축 방향으로 이동시키면서 I-V 곡선과 이온 포화 전류 및 전자 포화 전류를 측정하였다. 측정 결과를 바탕으로 plasma limiter의 성능을 검증하였고 문제점을 논의하였다.

구형 집속 빔 핵융합 장치에서 발생되는 중성자 생성률은 이온전류의 크기에 크게 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 이온전류의 크기를 증가시키기 위해 구조 설계에 주로 이용되는 다구찌 실험계획법을 이용하여 최적의 설계 조건을 계산하였다. 최적화를 위해 그리드 음극 형상의 결정인자 및 압력을 설계 변수로 선택하였고, 설계변수가 이온전류의 크기에 미치는 영향력을 분석하여 최적의 조건을 도출하였으며, 예측된 최적 조건 변수값을 적용하여 효과를 검증하였다. 최적 모델로부터 더 큰 이온전류를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 더 깊은 포텐셜 우물에서 측정되었다.

A bumper beam plays the important role of absorbing the bulk of bumper impact energy, so it is extremely important to determine the bumper beam section during the initial stage of car development process. This paper uses the Intermediate Response Surface Models (IRSM) technique for the bumper beam section optimization. By using this method, the nonlinear impact force-deflection curve is changed to an approximated curve. This can avoid the excessive 3D nonlinear FEM analysis during the optimization process. Then, the accuracy of the IRSM models is examined by comparing their results with those of the 3D nonlinear FEM. Finally it is shown that the proposed approach is effective to design the 2.5mph vehicle bumper section.

This paper introduces a relatively simple computer simulation method for analyzing trajectory of electron beam in cylindrical electrode of the CRT, which outputs the cutoff voltag, beam current, spot size and plots out the trajectory, rom the input data on physical construction and applied voltages of electron gun. In order to improve computing speed in obtaining potential distibution, the authors have ivided the space into seveal setos and allocated different mesh sizes epending on the acuracy required to each sector and applied the finite difference method in calculation. The plot of trajectoy obtained from the simulation provided useful insight into the focusing mechanism of the CRT. The computed and measured result including beam curent. spot sizs and cutoff voltages for several model guns have ageed within eperimental error. The simulation program enables the designer to compare the effects of varied electrode shpe without the epense of building an actual gun and may be appli in esigning and implementing the electron gun assemply.

This paper specifies on a virtual array design of a 77 GHz vehicle radar for detecting a moving target at a time division transmit and a near range. The virtual array designed reduces a hardware complexity, weight and price. However, a synthesized beam of the virtual array has a high side lobe by a phase distortion of receive signals when the moving target is detected at the time division transmit. For this, a subarray receive signal with a same phase is used and the side lobe of the synthesized beam is suppressed above at least 10 dB. Also the virtual array has a beam distortion by a spherical wave when the vehicle radar operates at near range. So a boresight receive signal of each target range is compensated at each receive signal. Therefore the synthesized beam with compensation recovers a normal main lobe and improves the side lobe about 10~15 dB.
