We have constructed and studied a laser system which consists of a multiplex spark gap with 8 couples of spark gaps and a multiple parallel plate capacitor type Blumlein transmission line circuit. In this laser system, the length of the laser tube, the length of the multiplex spark gap and the total thickness of the transmission line circuit are chosen to be 520 mm. The experimental results show that one couple of spark gaps cannot give a uniform and complete lasing through the whole laser tube. All the more, a multiplex spark gap could not perform completely and synchronously. However, a multiplex spark gap in found to contribute to the increase of laser output power and the laser has performed the best when the location is three quarters of the laser tube length.

Enhancement of the ignitability was necessary to realize the lean burn engine. The characteristics of multiple-spark capacitor discharge igniter(MSCDI) usefulness of which for lean burn was examined in constant volume combustion chamber and evaluated in spark ignition engine. Noise of MSCDI for engine was restricted by adoption of low voltage control system. It was found that the adaptability for high engine speed was remarkable. Lean limit in engine with MSCDI was extended 10% than conventional coil ignition system. Also maximum brake thermal efficiency was almost enhanced 1%.

현재 산업에서 상압플라즈마는 생물의학, 표면처리, 용접 및 절단, 화학적 오염제거 등 여러 분야에서 각광받고 있으며 그 잠재력 또한 매우 크다. 통상적으로 글로우 방전은 생물의학, 표면처리, 화학적 오염제거 등에 주로 쓰이고 아크 방전은 용접 및 절단에 응용된다. 이처럼 상압플라즈마는 여러 가지 방전으로 분류되고 그 특성에 맞게 응용되고 있는데 이러한 산업 여러 분야에 적절히 응용하기 위해서는 이에 대한 진단과 특성 분석이 선행적으로 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 침 대 면 전극을 가진 상압방전장치에서 스트리머로부터 스파크방전으로의 전이과정이 연구되었다. 전극간격, 주파수, 전압, 구동회로의 전류제한 조건을 가변함에 따라 스파크방전으로 전이되는 방전조건과 안정적인 글로우 방전이 유지되는 조건이 어떻게 달라지는지 조사되었다. 또한 방전전류 측정 및 ICCD 영상분석을 통해 Transient spark의 self-pulsing 조건과 주파수변화 특성을 고찰하였다.

A variety of approaches have been investigated for the application of spark-ignition engine knock control. The control method implemented, here as "Fuzzy Control", has the advantage of not requiring the knowledge of a mathematical model of the controlled object and is more robust and flexible than conventional approaches. Knock control in this study is performed using vibration signal which is measured with accelerometer attached to the cylinder block of a 1498cc four-cylinder spark-ignition engine. The experimental results obtained with this method are compared with those obtained with a knock interval controller and with those of a conventional controller. Those results illustrate better performance in torque than knock interval controller and conventional controller.ontroller.

In order to establish the ignition system for lean burn, the influence of the number of spark plug, spark times and spark intervals on discharge pattern of spark energy on ignitability and combustion characteristics were evaluated. It showed that, ignitability remarkably increased with the case of multiple spark ignition system than with the case of single spark and the lean limit extended fuel/air equivalence ratio by 0.1, the increase of magnitude and lasting time of capacity component and inductance component was multi spark discharge in a row.

본 연구는 라디칼 착화(Radical Ignition이하 RI) 기술을 적용한 부실직분식 CNG(Compressed Natural Gas) 엔진의 구동특성에 관한 것이다. 실험엔진은 단기통 디젤엔진을 개조하여 사용하였으며, 이는 부실식 디젤엔진처럼 연소실이 주실과 부실로 나누어져 있다. 부실에 분사된 CNG는 스파크플러그로 점화하며, 부실로 부터의 연소가스가 주실 희박 혼합기를 시켜 구동하는 엔진이다. RI 기술은 연소속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 주로 저부하 RI-CNG 엔진의 성능을 연구하였다. 연료분사기간은 9 ms, 공기과잉률은 1.0, 1.2, 1.4로 하였다. 연료분사시기는 엔진의 배가밸브가 닫히는 ATDC $20^{\circ}CA$ 부터 $120^{\circ}CA$ 사이로, $20^{\circ}CA$ 간격으로 지각시켜 가며 실험하였다. 본 연구는 연료분사시기 및 공기과잉률이 연소최고압력 ($P_{max}$), 연소최고압력시기(${\Theta}_{pmax}$), 도시평균유효압력(IMEP), 사이클 변동계수($COV_{imep}$), 연소속도에 미치는 양향 등을 구하고 분석하였다.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an infectious and highly contagious virus of swine. In order to develop the transgenic tobacco culture cells producing PEDV antigen protein, four vectors expressing PEDV spike protein (SP) gene under the control of a CaMV 35S promoter were constructed. Four fragments of the SP region of PEDV, SP1 (444 bp, 1487-1930 bp), SP2 (1.7 kb, 2300-3987 bp), SP3 (1.4 kb, 1559-2950 bp), and SP4 (2.6 kb, 9-2643 bp) were amplified by PCR and then C-MYC tag was fused to the end of each SP gene, respectively. These cassettes are inserted into the pCAMBIA2300 (named as 35S::SP1-M, 35S::SP2-M 35S::SP3-M, and 35S::SP4-M, respectively). Tobacco (cv. BY-2) cultured cells were transformed by co-cultivation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring expression vector. We selected kanamycin-resistant calli and checked for the presence of the introduced SP gene using PCR, resulting 70% of them showed the foreign gene. We selected the lines with high-level expression of PEDV antigen protein based on dot blot analysis. Southern blot analysis confirmed that the PEDV SP gene was integrated into the genome of the tobacco cultured cells. Northern blot analysis showed that the introduced gene was highly expressed in transgenic cultured cells. Transgenic tobacco cultured cells-derived antigen induced immunogenicity in mice as determined by a plaque reduction neutralization assay. These results suggest that the vectors expressing PEDV spike protein gene in this study will be useful for the development of transgenic plants and cultured cells producing PEDV antigene protein.

Recently, the importance of velocity, one of the characteristics of big data (5V: Volume, Variety, Velocity, Veracity, and Value), has been emphasized in the data processing, which has led to several studies on the real-time stream processing, a technology for quick and accurate processing and analyses of big data. In this paper, we propose a Squall framework using Time-triggered Message-triggered Object (TMO) technology, a model that is widely used for processing real-time big data. Moreover, we provide a description of Squall framework and its operations under a single node. TMO is an object model that supports the non-regular real-time processing method for certain conditions as well as regular periodic processing for certain amount of time. A Squall framework can support the real-time event stream of big data and micro-batch processing with outstanding performances, as compared to Apache storm and Spark Streaming. However, additional development for processing real-time stream under multiple nodes that is common under most frameworks is needed. In conclusion, the advantages of a TMO model can overcome the drawbacks of Apache storm or Spark Streaming in the processing of real-time big data. The TMO model has potential as a useful model in real-time big data processing.

A magnetic cable that can safely deliver high frequency AC electric power in flammable or sensitive workplaces by preventing from arcs and electric shocks is firstly proposed in this paper. Several new magnetic cable structures with magnetic shields, which are composed of such cancel coil, cancel copper plate, and cancel copper pipe, were compactly implemented by considering and analyzing fringe field and thus the parallel leakage flux is drastically reduced. The output power and efficiency of a prototype magnetic cable with 1.5 m length and 5 cm gap were measured as 353.8W and 68%, where the source current and switching frequency were 10 $A_{rms}$ and 20 kHz, respectively. The proposed magnetic cables are fully analyzed and verified by finite-element method (FEM) simulations and experiments. The results are in a good agreement.
