Camera calibration is an indispensable process for improving measurement accuracy in industry fields such as machine vision. However, existing calibration cannot be applied to the calibration of mid-wave and long-wave infrared cameras. Recently, with the growing use of infrared thermal cameras that can measure defects from thermal properties, development of an applicable calibration target has become necessary. Thus, based on heat conduction analysis using finite element analysis, we developed a calibration target that can be used with both existing visible cameras and infrared thermal cameras, by implementing optimal design conditions, with consideration of factors such as thermal conductivity and emissivity, colors and materials. We performed comparative experiments on calibration target images from infrared thermal cameras and visible cameras. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed calibration target.

Experimental results are presented for gate oxide degradation, such as SILC and soft breakdown, and its effect on device parameters under negative and positive bias stress conditions using n-MOSFET's with 3 nm gate oxide. The degradation mechanisms are highly dependent on stress conditions. For negative gate voltage, both interface and oxide bulk traps are found to dominate the reliability of gate oxide. However, for positive gate voltage, the degradation becomes dominated mainly by interface trap. It was also found the trap generation in the gate oxide film is related to the breakage of Si-H bonds through the deuterium anneal and additional hydrogen anneal experiments. Statistical parameter variations as well as the “OFF” leakage current depend on both electron- and hole-trapping. Our results therefore show that Si or O bond breakage by tunneling electron and hole can be another origin of the investigated gate oxide degradation. This plausible physical explanation is based on both Anode-Hole Injection and Hydrogen-Released model.

Efficiency for estimation of subsea tunnel safety can be increased through reflecting back analysis algorithm to displacement measurements besides other measurement information such as stress, water pressure and ground stiffness degradation. In this study, the finite difference code FLAC3D built-in FISH language is used. In addition, the stability of the tunnel lining will be evaluated from the development of displacement-based algorithm and its expanded algorithm with conformity of several parameters such as stress measurements, water pressure measurements, tunnel lining degradation measurements and ground stiffness degradation measurements. By using additional measurement information to assess the stability of subsea tunnel, it was confirmed that the error rate is reduced to the tunnel back analysis.

In LEO system, the signal degradation is mainly due to fading and Doppler shift, so that the analysis of the signal degradation and compensation techniques are very important. As the Doppler shift compensator, the block demodulator has been known to be useful in compensating for the time-varing Doppler shift, but its compensating ability is about several hundreds Hz in 32 ksymbols / s QAM (QPSK) signal transmission. Therefore, in this paper, to compensate for severe fading and Doppler shift more than several kHz, we use a conventional pilot symbol-aided fading compensator, and propose the Doppler shift compensator. It is shown that the proposed compensator is able to compensate for Doppler shift more than several kHz. And a pilot symbol-aided fading compensator is shown to be a suitable scheme for severe Rician fading ($K{\leq}10 dB$) as well as Rayleigh fading. Also, it is shown that the equal gain combiner improves greatly the QAM performance even if the fading or Doppler shift becomes deeper or larger.

The accumulated displacements and fatigues of rock are increased by the stress-hysteresis, induced from repeated frost-thawing. Also the shear strength is decreased by them continuously. The stress-hysteresis is affected by the atmospheric temperature changes, whose behavior is visco-elasticity, usually. Therefore, to do ideal body analysis, Kelvin model could be used to analyze the frost-thawing behavior in winter. In general, rock slope failure occurs by the deterioration of rocks, which is caused by the repetition of freezing-thawing process. In order to keep the safety of such rock mass structures the deterioration process of rock needs to be described quantitatively using some meaningful parameters. In this work, the deterioration process in freezing-thawing cycle of tuff, which is a famous soft porous rock, is investigated through laboratory tests and successfully described as a differential equation for the change of porosity. And then, the deterioration of the mechanical properties of rock, such as Young's modulus and uniaxial compressive strength, are quantitatively described as a function of the porosity.

배전용 애자는 전기적, 열적, 기계적 스트레스 등 내 외부 서지에 의한 균열이 서서히 발생되며 장시간 사용시 절연파괴에 의한 지락사고로 진전되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 사고로 인하여 순간정전이나 장시간 정전에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위해 열화된 애자를 조기에 검출함으로써 전력공급의 신뢰성 향상을 기하고자 한다. 이를 위해 열화된 애자에서 나타나는 물리적 현상에 의해 변화되는 주파수 스펙트럼 분포 해석을 통해 방전 전자파가 갖는 주기성 파형(120Hz)을 검출하여 열화된 애자를 탐지 추적하는 장치를 개발하고자 한다.

현재 점화코일은 소형화 및 친환경성을 위해 에폭시 몰딩 절연층으로 변화되었다. 그러나 에폭시 몰딩으로 변환됨에 따라 점화코일 내부 절연층에 대한 절연진단 및 노화에 대한 정확한 진단의 어려움으로 적절한 교체시기를 예측하기 더욱 어려워졌다. 그로 인해 점화장치부분에 대한 예기치 못한 사고는 대형사고 유발을 초래할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 비파괴검사의 일종인 부분방전을 이용한 열화검출을 연구하기 위해 열화에 따른 위상각-방전전하량-방전빈도수의 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 방전 발생의 분포가 동일 조건에서도 매우 불규칙성을 가지고 있으므로 데이터의 정량화를 위해 불규칙적인 통계처리를 위한 와이블 분포를 사용하여 기기의 고장시간예측을 조사하였다.

A model for the numerical simulation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is developed for use in battery cell design, with a view to improving the performances of such batteries. The model uses Newman-type electrochemical and transfer $theories^{(1,2)}$ to describe the behavior of the lithium-ion cell, together with the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization scheme to estimate the performance or design parameters in nonlinear problems. The mathematical model can provide an insight into the mechanism of LIB behavior during the charging/discharging process, and can therefore help to predict cell performance. Furthermore, by means of least-squares fitting to experimental discharge curves measured at room temperature, we were able to obtain the values of transport and kinetic parameters that are usually difficult to measure. By comparing the calculated data with the life-test discharge curves (SB LiMotive cell), we found that the capacity fade is strongly dependent on the decrease in the reaction area of active materials in the anode and cathode, as well as on the electrolyte diffusivity.
