Melting and icing process of the PCMTCU(Phase Change Material Thermal Control Unit) installed on the NEXTSat-2, which is scheduled to be launched in the second half, was investigated through the results of satellite-level TVT(Thermal Vacuum Test). As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the latent heat of PCM contributes to the temperature stabilization of the heating components. The thermal model for numerical analysis of the PCMTCU was correlated to acquire a reasonable degree of accuracy using the collected temperature measurements during TVT. The periodic temperature variation of the PCMTCU in normal on-orbit operation was predicted with the correlated thermal model, and the quantitative contribution of the PCM on the thermal energy management was evaluated with the liquid fraction. It will receive flight telemetry from the NEXTSat-2 after the launch, and complete the space verification of the PCMTCU.

Cracks affect the robustness of infrastructures such as buildings, bridge, pavement, and pipelines. This paper presents an automated crack detection system which detect cracks in diverse surfaces. We first constructed the combined crack dataset, consists of multiple crack datasets in diverse domains presented in prior studies. Then, state-of-the-art deep learning models in computer vision tasks including VGG, ResNet, WideResNet, ResNeXt, DenseNet, and EfficientNet, were used to validate the performance of crack detection. We divided the combined dataset into train (80%) and test set (20%) to evaluate the employed models. DenseNet121 showed the highest accuracy at 96.20% with relatively low number of parameters compared to other models. Based on the validation procedures of the advanced deep learning models in crack detection task, we shed light on the cost-effective automated crack detection system which can be applied to different surfaces and structures with low computing resources.

Small clear specimens of Quercus acutissima Carr. and Larix caempferi Carr. were used to measure shrinkage and thermal conductivity for the reasonable and effective use. All samples were conditioned to 18, 12, 5% moisture contents in a humidity chamber of 86, 66, 20% relative humidity(RH), respectively and room temperature(23℃) All specimens were conducted on the shrinkage and thermal conductivity test at each MCs. These processes(cycle) were repeated three times. The radial and tangential shrinkages of Quercus acutissima Carr. and Larix caempferi Carr. decreased at each level of MCs, with the increasing cycles. The radial and tangential shrinkages increased as the specific gravity(on oven-dry weight and volume basis) increased. Thermal conductivities of the radial and tangential direction of Quercus acutissima Carr. and Larix caempferi Carr. increased at each levels of MCs, with increasing cycles. Good correlations were obtained between shrinkages and thermal conductivities of radial and tangential direction, and specific gravity (on oven-dry weight and oven-dry volume basis) and MC.

With the recent advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the importance of the platform business is increasing. Most global companies with high market value are known as platform companies. This change is changing the business model of companies in various industries. However, existing studies have mainly focused on information-intensive industries and large companies. Therefore, this study attempted to analyze the case of Everybot, which is successfully growing in the service robot industry. Everybot is known as a company that produces robot cleaners. However, according to the result, the company has focused on developing autonomous driving technologies and pursuing platform-based business strategies rather than product-based ones. The results of this study have theoretical and practical implications by showing how domestic small and medium-sized robot companies apply platform-based business strategies to achieve long-term growth with gaining leadership in the personal service robotics market.

Recently, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence among the 4th industrial revolution has progressed based on the performance improvement of semiconductor, and circuit integration. According to transistors, which help operation of internal electronic devices and equipment that have been progressed to be more complicated and miniaturized, the control of heat generation and improvement of heat dissipation efficiency have emerged as new performance indicators. The DUT(Device Under Test) Shell is equipment which detects malfunction transistor by evaluating the durability of transistor through heat dissipation in a state where the power is cut off at an arbitrary heating point applying the rating current to inspect the transistor. Since the DUT shell can test more transistor at the same time according to the heat dissipation structure inside the equipment, the heat dissipation efficiency has a direct relationship with the malfunction transistor detection efficiency. Thus, in this paper, we propose various method for PCB configuration structure to optimize heat dissipation of DUT shell and we also propose various transformation and thermal analysis of optimal DUT shell using computational fluid dynamics.

This paper deals with the design and fabrication of a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed super-wideband semicircular-disk-shaped dipole antenna operating in a frequency band of 2.4 GHz or higher. To feed the antenna, a CPW feed line was appended to the center of the lower arm of the semicircular-disk-shaped dipole antenna. For miniaturization, square patches were added to the ends of the two arms of the semicircular-disk-shaped dipole, whereas the slot width of the CPW feed line at the center of the dipole antenna was increased to improve impedance matching in the 5.4-6.3 GHz band. The simulated frequency band of the proposed antenna for a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) less than 2 was 2.369-30 GHz(170.7%), whereas the fabricated antenna was maintained VSWR less than 2 in the frequency range of 2.378-20 GHz when measured using a network analyzer operating up to 20 GHz so it can be applied as a super-wideband antenna for next-generation mobile communications.

This paper discusses Chip On Film (COF) technology, one of the key technologies in flexible packaging to enable miniaturization and flexibility of electronic devices. COF attaches Display Driver IC (DDI) directly to a flexible polyimide substrate, enabling lightweight and reduced thickness for high-resolution displays. COF technology is primarily used in high-performance display panels, such as organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, and plays a key role in portable electronic devices, such as smartphones and wearable devices. This study analyzes the key components of COF and advances in bonding technology. In particular, the introduction of modern bonding techniques, such as thermo-compression bonding and thermo-sonic bonding, has led to significant improvements in bonding reliability and electrical performance. These bonding techniques enhance the mechanical stability of COF packages while maintaining high electrical connectivity in fine-pitch structures. This paper will discuss the future development of COF bonding technology and its challenges and explore its potential as a next-generation display and advanced packaging technology.

The rule 15, 16 and 17 of International Regulations for Preventing collisions at Sea direct actions to avoid collision when two power-driven vessels are crossing. But these rules do not present the safety minimum approaching distances outside which a give- way vessel deeps out of the way of a stand-on vessel. In this paper, the author analyzed the ship's collision avoiding actions from a viewpoint of ship kinematics as the method to calculate this distance. The author worked out mathematic formulas for calculating the safety minimum approaching distances outside which the give-way vessel takes the actions to avoid collisions in accordance with the cross angles of the crossing vessels' courses. Figuring out actually the values of maneuvering indices of the M. S. Koan Ack San (GT: 224tons), the training ship of the National Fisheries University of Busan and the M. S. Golden Clover (GT: 101, 235tons) of the Eastern Shipping Co., Ltd. through their Z test, the author applied these values to the calculating formulas and calculated the safety minimum approaching distances. The results of calculations are as follows; 1. The greatest distance is to be kept by the give-way vessel to avoid collision when the cross angle of courses is 90$^{\circ}$ or near it. In such case the safety minimum approaching distance of a small vessel must be more than 5 times of her own length and that of a large vessel more than 11 times of her own length. 2. Collision danger is greater when crossing angle is obtuse than in an acute angle, therefore greater distance is to be kept by the give-way vessel to avoid collision in the case of the obtuse angle. 3. The actions to be taken to avoid collisions by the give-way vessel in Rule 16 and by the stand-on vessel in Rule 17(a)(ii) of International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, must be done outside the above safety minimum approaching distance. When inevitably such actions are to be taken within the safety minimum approaching distance, they should be accompanied with engine motions.

This experiment was carried out to obtain genetic information for future corn breeding. The materials used for the study were obtained from the nationwide collection of Korean local corn lines. A total of 262 lines were used for the study of morphological characters and for the classification of lines. Results obtained are summarized as follows; 1. The days to flowering of lines ranged from 57 days to 87 days. Most lines had an average of 67 days of flowering days. 2. The number of tillers of lines showed a lot of variation among lines with 49.2% of coefficient of variation. 3. The coefficients of variation computed based on the phenotypic observation or measurement of each line were 36.1%, 27.2%, 20.0%, 16.4% and 16.3% for kernel weight per ear, 100 kernel weight, ear height, plant height and ear length, respectively. 4. Ear height, ear length, ear diameter, tiller number and days to flowering were highly and positively correlation with the plant height. Kernel size, ear size, and plant height were highly correlated with 100 kernel weight and kernel weight per ear. 5. The 262 corn lines were possibly classified into four major groups by the Euclidean distance. Group I comprised 110 lines, group II 74 lines, group III 66 lines and group IV 12 lines, respectively. Group I was characterized as having early maturity, medium plant height large kernel size and large ear size. Group II had medium maturity, short plant height, medium kernel size and small ear size. Group III had medium maturity, medium plant height, large kernel size and medium ear size. Group IV had late maturity, long plant height, small kernel size, small ear size and many tillering. 6. The plant height showed significant difference between group I and II, II and III, and II and IV group. No statistical differences were observed between group III and IV. The ear size of group I was significantly different from those of group II, III and IV. Also difference of ear size between group II and III was significant.

To develope a technique for efficiently managing fertilizer for cucumber, a quick test method to quantify nitrate content in soil solution and leaf petiole juice using a simple instrument was investigated. Among the nitrate analyzing instruments such as compact ion meter, nitrate ion meter, and test strip with reflectometer, the paper test-strip used in conjunction with a hand-held reflectometer was most closely correlated with ion chromatography method in nitrate content, and then it would be suggested with a tool that a farmer can use rapidly, conveniently and accurately for nitrate analysis in a field. Nitrate content in soil solution collected by porous cup was very variable on the lapsed time after drip irrigation and the sampling positions such as soil depth and the distance from dripper. As a result, a significant correlation between nitrate contents of soil solutions and 2M KCl soil extract was not found. However, nitrate content in soil solution extracted with a volume basis (soil:water=1:2) showed the highly significant correlation with that in 2M KCl extract. Nitrate contents of cucumber leaf petiole juices was greatly different between upper and lower leaves. Eleven to sixteen positioned-leaf would be a proper sampling position to determine nitrate content in leaf petiole for evaluating nutrient state by plant tissue analysis. From the secondary regression equations between nitrate contents of soil and petiole juice and the yield of cucumber, nitrate levels for real time diagnosis were estimated as $400mg\;l^{-1}$ soil solution by porous cup. $300mg\;l^{-1}$ in a soil volume extraction, and $1400mg\;l^{-1}$ in petiole juice from spring to summer season. In addition, the maximum yield of cucumber fruit in pot test was obtained in nitrate $1500mg\;l^{-1}$ level of petiole juice, which was similar to nitrate $1400mg\;l^{-1}$ in greenhouse trial.
