This study was conducted to investigate experimentally the basic characteristics of the torque of the cutterbar driving shaft as the double-knife was used instead of the conventional standard single-knife type. A new design for inclined setting of the cutterbar relative to the direction perpendicular to combine harvester movement was investigated to test a possible reduction of concentrated load caused by the simultaneous cutting of many rows. It was evaluated that the maximum torque and mean total power of the driving shaft due to the cutting resistance of the rice straw were largely depended upon the rotational shaft-speed and straw feeding rate, but were resepectively 1.1~2.3 and 1.15~1.34 times higher compared to those while idling. It was also proved that the inclined setting of the cutterbar could save a considerable amount of energy required for its driving shaft.

This study was conducted to investigate the dynamic motion of knife drive system of combine harvester. A computer program was developed to simulate the dynamic motion of the knife drive linkage and its algorithm was evaluated through experiments. The results are summarized as follows : 1. The theorectical horizontal (the direction of knife's reciprocating motion) reaction forces at the supporting point of rocker arm and crank arm were changed in the similar sinusoidal trends with the measured reaction forces. 2. The maximum values of shaking moment and reaction force per one revolution of crank arm followed polynomial trends as the rotational speed of crank shaft increased. The unbalanced force acting on the driving system increased at high speed. Therefore, the rotational speed of crank shaft should be maintained in proper range at increased forward speed to decrease vibration of the knife drive system. 3. The added mass to the crank arm increased the dynamic unbalanced force at the supporting point of rocker arm. It counterbalanced the reaction force at the supporting point of crank arm.

This study was conducted to investigate the cutting mechanism of reciprocating knife of combine harvester. The cutting operation of reciprocating knife with the arrangement of the low-cutting and the double-cutting was demonstrated through cutting pattern diagram which was drawn by computer graphics. Various kinds and dimensions of reciprocating knives were analyzed using the developed program. The results are summarized as follows (1) The low-cutting type reciprocating knife was represented similar cutting characteristics to the standard type, but the maximum stalk-deflection was decreased as 1/2 level of the standard type. And the first ledger plate should be designed shorter than the second ledger plate. (2) The bunching area and the maximum stalk-deflection for the double cutting knife almost were not changed since cutting velocity ratio of 0.6, but the secondary cut were occurred at ratio of 0.8 and increased rapidly over these ratio. (3) The double cutting knife was recommended for the high speed combine, because its bunching area and the maximum stalk-deflection were decreased as 1/2 level of the standard type. (4) In order to maintain the proper cutting mechanism characterized by the bunching area, the maximum stalk-deflection and the secondary cutting length etc., the adequate cutting velocity at forward speed of 0.5㎧ to 1.2㎧ was from 0.3㎧ to 0.96㎧ for the double cutting knives.

This study was conducted to investigate the cutting mechanism of the reciprocating knife of combine harvester. The cutting operation of reciprocating knife was demonstrated through the cutting pattern diagram which was drawn by computer graphics. Various kinds and dimensions of standard-type reciprocating knives were analyzed by the developed program. The results are summarized as follows : (1) For the 50mm standard reciprocating knife, the bunching area and the maximum stalk-deflection were decreased rapidly according to the increase of cutting velocity ratio by 1.0 and decreased very slowly over this ratio. But, the secondary cut was occurred at ratio of 1.0 and increased rapidly over this ratio. (2) The 76mm standard knife showed better cutting mechanism than the 50mm, in two respects : the larger cutting area per one stroke and the lower revolutional speed of crank shaft for the same cutting velocity. (3) In respect to the bunching area and the secondary cutting length, the adequate height of 50mm standard reciprocating knife was 45~50mm. (4) In order to maintain the proper cutting mechanism, the adequate cutting velocity at forward speed of 0.5㎧ to 1.2m/s was from 0.4m/s to 1.2m/s for the standard knife.

Bio-diesel applications seem to be extended due to bio-diesel policies and changes of agricultural environment. This study was conducted to develop a rapeseed reaping equipment attachable to the conventional combine. This paper was intended to report concept design, process and manufacturing of the prototype rapeseed reaping equipment. For concept design, physical properties of "SUNMANG", which is a typical rapeseed as bio-diesel materials, were considered. The designed prototype rapeseed reaping equipment consisted of wide-width plates, finger type knifes, side cutter knifes and drive equipments. The wide-width plate is 2.1 m wide, 0.7 m long, and 0.002 m thick. The finger type cutter knifes have 14.5 fingers, 30 knifes, and the specification was 7.6 cm of pitch, 8.3 cm of length and $21^{\circ}$ of cutting angle. The side cutter knifes consisted of a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor, a flow control and a relief valve, a hydraulic hose, a driving equipment and a reciprocating cutter knife. The 18 reciprocating cutter knifes were 137 cm long and knife pitch, knife length and cutting angle were 7.7 cm, 10.5 cm, and $18^{\circ}$. Prototype weight of the rapeseed reaping equipment was heavier by 272 kg when compared with the manual reaping equipments. Load distributions of left and right side showed 50% and 49%, and those of front and rear side showed 64% and 36%. Static turn-over angles in left and right of the prototype were $38.1^{\circ}$ and $38.7^{\circ}$, respectively. The designed prototype rapeseed reaping equipment was properly mounted at the front of a conventional combine.

A rapeseed reaping equipment attachable to a conventional combine was developed in order to harvest rapeseed for bio-diesel materials. This study was carried out to measure the harvest feasibility of a prototype combine in rapeseed fields. Grain, stem and pod flow rate, grain qualities (whole kernel, damaged kernel, unhulled kernel, material-other-than-grain) and grain loss rates (header, threshing, separation) were investigated in each field test. As the result of the fold test, the average grain flow rates of SUNMANG and MS varieties showed 1,430 kg/h and 2,038 kg/h, respectively. The average stem and pod flow rates showed 3,443 kg/h and 6,596 kg/h, respectively. In each working speed, the average whole kernel rate and the material-other-than-grain showed 99.9% and below 0.08%, respectively. In the average grain loss, the rates showed 5.66% in case of SUNMANG and 5.94% in MS. Header loss was higher than other parts for SUNMANG. However, threshing loss was relatively higher than other parts for MS. Header loss rate due to side cutter knifes, however, was not so high when compared with a grain loss due to the cutter bar. Effective field capacity and field efficiency of the prototype combine showed 0.389 ha/h and 44%, respectively. Comparison of customary combine with the prototype combine through field test demonstrated that the header loss was reduced by 69.3% when the prototype combine was used.

Field test was conducted to investigate primary factors reducing rapeseed harvesting using a reciprocating cutter-bar of combine. The results showed that the correlation between crop moisture content and yield loss had a U-type, which indicated that the yield reduction increased at too high and too low crop moisture contents. The proper ranges of crop moisture contents were 27${\sim}$35%, 21${\sim}$56%, and 62${\sim}$73% in case of grain, pod and stem, respectively. Crop moisture content was negatively correlated with header loss, but positively correlated with threshing loss. In contrary, stem moisture content showed positive correlations with total loss, threshing loss and separation loss. Working speed was positively correlated with header loss. Total flow rate, pod flow rate and stem flow rate were highly correlated with threshing loss and separation loss. However, grain flow rate did not show any correlation with total loss. According to the principal component analysis, two principal components were derived as components with eigenvalues greater than 1.0. The contribution rates of the first and the second components were 52.7% and 38.9%, which accounted for 91.6% of total variance. As a contributive factor influencing total loss of rapeseed mechanical harvesting, a crop moisture content factor was greater than a crop flow rate factor. The stepwise multiple regression analysis for total loss was conducted using crop moisture content factor, crop flow rate factor and coefficient. However, the model did not show any correlation among independent and dependent factors ($R^2$=0.060).

영상유도 방사선치료의 대표적 방법의 하나로 선형가속기에 부착된 on-board imager (OBI) 영상장치를 사용하여 획득한 cone-beam CT (CBCT) 영상이 정밀 방사선치료 시 환자 정렬 오류를 보정하는데 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CBCT 영상 획득 시 환자 호흡에 의한 영상 품질과 정보의 변화를 분석하고자 호흡 움직임을 모사할 수 있는 팬텀과 CBCT 영상획득용 팬텀을 제작하고, 여러 움직임 조건에서 획득한 CBCT 영상들과 정지상태에서 얻은 CBCT 영상과의 비교, 분석을 수행하였다. 분석대상 움직임 조건을 구성하는 요소로서 움직임 주기는 5가지(2초, 3초, 4초, 5초, 6초)를 선정하였고, 움직임 변위 크기는 4가지(0.7 cm, 1.6 cm, 2.4 cm, 3.1 cm)를 선정하여 총 20가지의 움직임 조건에서 CBCT 영상을 획득하였다. CBCT 영상의 CT값의 상대적 크기로 비교한 영상 화소 값 강도의 평균 변화는 정지 상태의 영상과 비교하여 변위가 0.7 cm의 경우 71.07%, 1.6 cm의 경우 48.88%, 2.4 cm의 경우 30.60%, 3.1 cm의 경우 17.38% 값을 보였고, 팬텀 움직임 방향의 영상 길이는 정지상태에서 2.1 cm, 움직임 변위가 0.7 cm의 경우 2.66 cm, 1.6 cm의 경우 3.06 cm, 2.4 cm의 경우 3.62 cm, 3.1 cm의 경우 4.04 cm 값을 보여 움직임 변위 크기가 클수록 영상 품질 저하와 형태적 정보의 왜곡정도도 증가하였다. 움직임 주기에 의한 영상품질의 변화는 움직임 변위 크기가 작은 경우를 제외하고는 특별한 영향이 없었다. 본 연구를 통해 환자 호흡에 의한 움직임 변위가 큰 부위의 CBCT 영상을 획득할 때, 영상 품질과 정보에 변화가 발생할 수 있어 이 점을 고려하여 임상에 사용해야 하며, 궁극적으로 호흡 신호와 연동된 CBCT 영상이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다.로버 + 혼파초지에 비하여 낮은 결과를 보였다(p<0.05). 2년 평균 CPDM 수량은 레드 클로버 + 혼파초지가 2,832kg으로 관행 혼파초지(2,372kg)나 잔디형 초종 + 혼파초지(2,266kg)에 비하여 높은 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 2년 평균 DDM 수량은 레드 클로버 + 혼파초지가 8,881kg으로 관행 혼파초지(8,255kg)나 잔디형 초종 + 혼파초지(7,314kg)에 비하여 높은 결과를 얻었다(p<0.05). 2005년 5회 예취시의 식생비율은 관행 혼파초지는 orchardgrass는 45%, tall fescue 22%, Kentucky bluegrass 5% 및 white clover 24%이었으며, 레드 클로버 + 혼파초지는 orchardgrass 40%, tall fescue 22%, Kentucky bluegrass 4% 및 red clover 31%이었고, 잔디형 초종 + 혼파 초지는 orchardgrass 37%, 잔디형 초종 37%(tall fescue 23%, Kentucky bluegrass 6%, perennial ryegrass 8%) 및 white clover 23%를 유지하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합할 때, 초종과 파종비율에 따른 혼파초지의 건물수량과 사료가치의 차이를 확인할 수 있었으며, 레드 클로버 + 혼파 초지가 건물수량과 사료가치를 높이는데 효과적이었다.\ell}$ 이었으며 , yeast extract 첨가(添加)하여 배양시(培養時)는 yeast extract 농도(濃度)가 증가(增加)함에 따라 단백질(蛋白質) 함량(含量)도 증가(增加)하였다. 7.
