Research on low height noise barriers installed adjacent to railways to reduce the height of the noise barrier has actively progressed in many countries except Korea. The performance of low height noise barriers is evaluated to identify barrier acoustic characteristics using a scale model of the barrier in the present research. As shown in the experimental results, if it is considered the installation of 'ㄱ' type noise barrier, sound absorption material should be installed on both the top and the vertical surfaces of the barrier to improve insertion loss. Also, an analytical method such as the boundary element method, rather than a simple empirical equation, is required to evaluate the insertion loss of the barrier. In addition, noise level increase in passenger position is very small if a barrier with sound absorption material is installed. Finally, the two dimensional boundary element method is implemented to predict the acoustic characteristics of the low height barrier; the possibility of the application is confirmed from a comparison of the results of measurements and predictions.

In this study, the durability of conical pick cutter was compared and analyzed by pre- and post-test visual inspection, measurement of weight loss and wear volume through field test on two types of conical pick cutters applied to rotary drum cutter. In the visual inspection, it was found that only 9 inserts were lost in the slim type conical pick cutter. This result show that the thickness of the head cover surrounding a insert was important to maintain the insert during excavation. The weight loss and wear volume of the heavy type conical pick cutter were less than half that of the slim type. From these results, it can be confirmed that heavy type is more useful than slim type in hard rock. It should be noted that, when determining the wear loss of the conical pick cutter, the mutual comparison of the weight measurement and the wear volume measurement results may be different due to the unit weight of the material and the spalling caused by excavation.

We proposed an analysis model for a Fabry-Perot cavity constructed with a plane-mirrored optical fiber and a concave-mirrored one. We presented the analysis results calculated by inserting practical values into the equations derived. The coupling loss of the cavity and the mirror loss are the most important parameters in reducing the insertion loss of the filter. In order to build a filter of finesse 600, FSR 57 nm, and insertion loss < 3 dB, the plane-concave cavity using mirrors of loss < 0.09% should be aligned for the coupling loss to be less than 0.1 %.

In this study, we try to formularize simultaneous equations to make a prediction about pressure drop for designing intravascular artificial lung assist device. Designing parameters to predict the effect of pressure drop and designed modules under various conditions were studied through an experimental modeling before inserting the artificial lung assist device into as venous. We measured pressure drop in various number of hollow fiber membranes, when the inside diameter of shell is fixed in 3 cm, and tried to develope the prediction equations by curve fitting based on the correlation between the experimental pressure drop and the device frontal area or packing density. The results showed that pressure drop increased with 2nd order functional formula as the liquid flow rate, the frontal area, and the packing density increased. Also, we can estimate the pressure drop as a function of the frontal area or packing density. The pressure drop obtained from the experiment was similar to that from the equation, confirming the usefulness of the equation.

In this paper, the correlation of Pressure drop about the Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid was investigated experimentally for vibrating intravascular lung assist device (VIVLAD) and we determined correlation equation to make a prediction about Pressure drop for designing VIVLAD. Design conditions to predict the pressure drop of the modules were studied through an experimental modeling before inserting the artificial lung assist device into as venous. Experiments were performed by distilled water, glycerol/water mixed solution(40% glycerol) of Newtonian fluids. and the bovine blood of non-Newtonian fluids. These fluids were flowed outside and parallel of hollow fiber membranes. Also we measured pressure drop according to the number of the fiber membranes which ware inserted into the inside diameter of shell of 3 cm, and developed the prediction equations by curve fitting method based on correlation between the experimental pressure drop and the frontal area or the packing density of device. The result showed that the Pressure drop and the friction factor of the water/glycerol mixed solution were similar to that of bovine blood. It was showed that the water/glycerol mixed solution (40% glycerol) could be used for measuring the pressure drop and the friction factor instead of the bovine blood. Also, we could estimate the prediction equation of pressure drop and friction factor as the function of Packing density at the number of hollow fibers. We obtained the reliance of the prediction equations because the pressure drop and the friction factor measured from the experiments were similar to that from the prediction equation. These results may be used to further usefulness for the design of VIVLAD.

본 논문에서는 Ka-밴드 위성통신 송신주파수대역(30.085∼30.885 GHz)의 대역통과 필터를 유도성 fin-line 구조를 이용하여 분석, 설계 및 제작하였다. 도파관내의 공진기들이 전계면에 수직한 금속 fin으로 구성된 구조를 해석하는데 가장 적합한 모드정합법을 사용하여 설계하였다. 제작된 필터는 마이크로파대역 뿐만 아니라 밀리미터파대역의 주파수에서도 우수한 필터특성을 갖는다는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 상업용 도파관을 사용하는 대신에 가격이 저렴하고 가공이 용이한 알루미늄을 사용함으로써 대량생산이 가능하다. 또한 도파관내 금속삽입형태에 의한 대역 통과 필터의 구현이 아닌 유한한 두께를 갖는 포토-에칭된 유전체 기판을 삽입함으로써 제작성의 어려움을 해결하였다. 설계, 제작된 필터의 측정결과 통과대역내에서 1.6dBal만의 삽입손실과 18dB이상의 반사손실을 갖는 응답특성을 얻었으며 이론에 의한 계산치와 측정치와의 비교를 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 설계방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 이미지 데이터의 저작권 보호를 위해 영상변형, JPEG 손실 압축 및 임펄스 잡음에 효과적인 새로운 DM/SS (Direct Matrix/Spread Spectrum) 이미지 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 워터마크 영상을 저작권자의 개인 ID (IDentification)로 확산시킨 다음, 원 영상에 삽입하고 역확산시켜 복원하는 방법이다. 원터마크 영상은 2진 영상을 사용하고, 워터마크 시스템에서 요구되는 비가시성과 외부 공격에 대한 워터마크의 강인성을 확인하기 위하여 PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)과 워터마크 영상의 복원율 (reconstructive rate)을 구한다. 실험 결과, 워터마크가 삽입된 영상의 PSNR은 93.75 dB로 화질저하가 거의 없었고, 확산 이득으로 인하여 32$\times$32 워터마크 영상이 삽입된 영상에서 우수한 워터마크 영상의 복원율을 얻는다는 것을 보인다. 영상변형 및 JPEG 손실 압축 하에서도 우수한 워터마크 복원 결과를 보였고, 임펄스 잡음이 첨가된 영상의 PSNR이 5.54 dB인 경우에도 효과적으로 워터마크 영상을 복원할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 웨이블릿(wavelet) 계수간의 시각특성을 이용만 새로운 블라인더 워터마킹 기법을 제안 한다. 각 대역별 시각특성을 고려한 워터마크 삽입으로 원 영상의 손실을 최소화하였다. 그리고 여러 영상 처리에 대해 지속적인 관계를 유지하는 계수간의 특성을 이용하여 모든 주파수 대역에 위터마크를 삽입함으로써 강인성을 높였다. 워터마크 추출 시에는 삽입과정에서 이용된 계수간의 상황관계를 이용하여 원 영상 없이도 워터마크를 추출할 수 있다. 실험결과, 제안한 방법의 워터마킹 영상들은 PSNR 측정결과 약 38dB로 비교적 우수함을 보였으며 시각적으로도 손상을 감지하기 어려웠다. 또한, 강인성 검증을 위한 손실압축, 클리핑, 블러링, 샤프닝 등의 영상 변경 후 워터마크 추출에서도 기존방법에 비해 상대적으로 우수한 검출 결과를 보였다.

In this paper, an UWB (Ultra Wide Band) band-pass filter with open stubs using SIR (Stepped Impedance Resonator) structure is presented. The proposed band pass filter (BPF) has SIR structure instead of open stubs for UWB application with low insertion loss. The bandwidth of the proposed BPF is 103 % at the center frequency of 5.8GHz and the insertion and return losses are 0.17dB and 13.1dB, respectively. Also, the entire size of the proposed band-pass filter is $21.6{\times}17.8mm^2$.

A high-performance wideband transition from double-sided parallel-stripline (DSPSL) to coplanar stripline (CPS) is proposed. This transition is designed by consideration of gradual field transformation and optimal impedance matching between DSPSL and CPS. Clear design guidelines of proposed transition are provided to determine the ground shape and the transition length. The fabricated transition exhibits less than 0.7 dB insertion loss per transition for frequencies from 6.2 to 18.2 GHz, and less than 1.25 dB insertion loss to over 30 GHz.
