Gears are critical elements in automobiles, and their use as power transmitting machine elements in engineering applications is quite extensive. In the areas of contact between gear teeth, the condition of a gear is likely to deteriorate due to contact fatigue, wear, material defects, lubrication failure, etc. Thus, it is necessary to monitor its condition to ensure smooth power transmission. Gear teeth deterioration causes failures such as abrasive wear, scuffing, pitting, and spalling. These failures lead to a higher level of vibration signals in the gear system. This paper presents the results of an experiment on the surface fatigue wear of a spur gear system. The correlation between the estimated specific film thickness, statistical parameter of the vibration signals, and Stribeck curve was considered in this study.

The dissemination and use of mobile applications have been rapidly expanding these days. And in such a situation, the security of mobile applications has emerged as a new issue. Although the safety of general software such as desktop and enterprise software is systematically achieved from the development phase to the verification phase through secure coding, there have been not sufficient studies on the safety of mobile applications yet. This paper deals with deriving weakness enumeration specialized in mobile applications and implementing a tool that can automatically analyze the derived weakness. Deriving the weakness enumeration can be achieved based on CWE(Common Weakness Enumeration) and CERT(Computer Emergency Response Team) relating to the event-driven method that is generally used in developing mobile applications. The analysis tool uses the dynamic tests to check whether there are specified vulnerabilities in the source code of mobile applications. Moreover, the derived vulnerability could be used as a guidebook for programmers to develop mobile applications.

In this paper, we proposed a novel true time-delay (TTD) feeder for phased array antennas (PAAs) using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and fibers coated with Cr/Au film. This structure requires less number of FBGs than the previously proposed FBG TTD feeders since one FBG is replaced with a metal film reflector in a strand of optical delay line connected to each antenna element and also provides the flexible wavelength selection since the metal film shows wide reflectance spectrum. A TTD for 10 GHz linear PAAs capable of steering beams in three different directions at 0$^{\circ}$and $\pm$30$^{\circ}$has been built. Experimental results on time delays are in good agreement with those calculated at all the steering angles. A 10 GHz linear array antenna with eight antenna elements red from the proposed TTD has been designed and the far-field radiation pattern or this antenna has been obtained by simulation.

Electrical properties of the Thin Film Transistor(TFT) electrode metal films were investigated through the Test Elements Group(TEG) experiment. The main purpose of this investigation was to characterize the electrical resistance properties of patterned metal films with respect to the variations of film thickness and TEG metal line width. Aluminum(Al), Tantalum(Ta) and Chromium(Cr) that are currently used as TFT electrode films were selected as the probed metal films. To date, no work in the electrical characterizations of patterned electrodes of a-Si TFT was accomplished. Bulk resistance$(R_b)$, sheet resistance$(R_s)$, and resistivities($\rho$) of TEG patterned metal lines were obtained. Electrical continuity test of metal film lines was also performed in order to investigate the stability of metallization process. Almost uniform-linear variations of the electrical properties with respect to the metal line displacements was also observed.

This paper proposes a low power current-steering 10-bit DAC selecting clock enable signal. The proposed DAC reduces the clock power by cutting the clock signal to the current-source cells in wihich the data will not be changed. The proposed DAC was implemented using a 0.13${\mu}m$ CMOS process with $V_{DD}=1.2V$. Its core area is 0.21$mm^2$. It consumes 4.46mW at 1MHz signal frequency and 200MHz sampling rate. The clock power is reduced to 30.9% and 36.2% of a conventional DAC at 1.25MHz and 10MHz signal frequencies, respectively. The measured SFDRs are 72.8dB and 56.1dB at 1MHz and 50MHz signal frequencies, respectively.

This paper presents a study on the DSP controller and IGBT inverter driver design for the power-by-wire(PBW) system using BLDC servo motor. This BLDC servo motor system was realized with DSP(Digital Signal Processor) and IGBT inveter module. The PBW system needs speed control of servo motor for linear thrust action. This paper implements a servo controller with vector control and min-max PWM technique. As CPU of controller, TMS320F2812 DSP was adopted because it has PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) waveform generator, A/D(Analog to Digital) converter, SPI( Serial Peripheral Interface) port and many input/output port etc.

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of the roof mounted air-conditioning system using electric driven scroll compressor for zero emission vehicles. This air conditioner with air source was used R-134a as a refrigerant and tested under various operating conditions such as refrigerant charge amount and indoor temperature, and compressor frequencies. Experimental results revealed that at all tested compressor frequencies, heat transfer rate of the evaporator increased and the cooling COP increased with the indoor temperature. In addition, the heat transfer rate of the evaporator was over 25.0kW sufficient for the cooling loads of an electric bus.

In this paper, we present a new exoskeleton-type data glove that can sense the movement of the human finger and reflect the force to the finger. The data glove is designed on the basis of the skeletal structure of the human hand, and the finger module has 1 degree-of-freedom because it includes three four-bar mechanism joints in series and a wire-coupling mechanism. In addition, the transmission ratio of the finger module is maintained at 1:1.4:1 over the entire movement range, and hence, the module can perform both extension and flexion. In addition, to enable adduction/abduction motion of the human hand, a unique MCP joint is designed by using two universal joints. To validate the feasibility of the data glove, master-slave control experiments based on force-position control between the data glove and the robot hand are conducted.

This paper describes the characteristics of hydrogen generation from solid-state $NaBH_4$ and fuel cell operation for fuel cell aircraft. The solid-state $NaBH_4$ was used for a high hydrogen storage density, and was reacted with hydrochloric acid to generate hydrogen. The hydrogen generation rate for the solid-state $NaBH_4$ reaction was measured at various conditions. As a result, the hydrogen generation rate was increased with the feed rate and concentration of hydrochloric acid, while not be affected by the reaction temperature. A fuel cell was connected with the solid-state $NaBH_4$ hydrogen generator. The stable power output was obtained at the gradual and sudden increases of electric loads.

본 논문은 기존의 수은 형광 램프와 LED를 대체할 수 있는 무 수은 면광원의 방전 가스 조성 변화(He, Ne, Ar, Xe)에 따른 전기 광학 특성에 관한 연구이다.[1]~[4] 무 수은 면광원의 기본 구조는 그림 1과 같이 방전 공간 내에 유전체에 의해 방전 공간과 분리된 한 쌍의 평행한 전극으로 이루어져 있다. 그리고 방전 공간 내면에는 일정한 두께와 형상을 가지는 형광체가 도포되어 있고 주 전극의 반대 평판유리 외벽에 보조전극을 형성하였다. 방전을 발생시키기 위한 기본적인 구동 방법은 5~25kHz의 주파수와 $0.7{\sim}1.5{\mu}s$의 폭을 가지는 사각 펄스를 사용한다.[4] 그림 2는 Ne-Xe 가스를 기본으로 하여 He 첨가에 따른 전기 광학 특성을 보여준다. He 첨가량이 증가할수록 동작 전압이 높아지면서 방전 개시와 동시에 수축 방전으로 전이되는 형태를 보이며, 효율 또한 감소함을 보였다. 이것은 무 수은 면광원에서는 높은 He의 이차전자 방출 계수보다 He의 높은 이온화 에너지가 더 크게 작용하기 때문이라 생각된다. 그림 3은 Ne-Xe 가스를 기본으로 하여 Ar 첨가에 따른 특성을 보여준다. He과는 다르게 Ar 첨가량이 증가할수록 동작 전압 마진이 넓어진다. 그러나 동작 전압이 상승하고, 효율 역시 감소하는 단점이 있다. 이것은 Ar은 Ne에 비해 이온화 에너지가 낮지만 Ar-Xe 조합은 Penning 효과를 얻을 수 있는 혼합 가스가 아니며, Ar의 2차전자 방출 계수 역시 Ne에 비해 낮기 때문에 결과적으로 방전 전압은 상승하고 효율이 감소하는 결과를 보여준다. 그러므로 무 수은 면광원에서 낮은 구동 전압과 높은 휘도 효율을 얻기 위해서는 Ne-Xe 가스조건이 가장 적합한 가스 조건이다. 효율 개선을 위해서는 Ne-Xe 가스 조건에서 압력을 높이거나 높은 Xe 함량의 가스 조성비를 사용하여 자외선 발광원인 Xe 가스량을 높이는 방법이 가장 유리하다. 그림 4는 Ne-Xe 가스 조건에서 Xe 가스량을 높이면 효율이 증가하는 경향성을 보여준다. 가스 최적화 연구와 더불어 형광체 최적화 연구[5]를 통해서 Ne-Xe25% 100Torr 가스 조건에서 그림 5와 같은 19,000nit의 높은 휘도와 75lm/W의 고 효율 특성을 얻을 수 있었다.
