In this paper, characteristics of the ac and dc flashover voltage in the horizontal air gap of a needle-needle electrode system were investigated when the combustion flame was present near the high-voltage electrode. In order to examine the flashover phenomena and the corona inception voltages caused by flame we measured the voltage and current waveforms when the corona and the flashover was occurred. We also observed, as increasing the applied voltages, the deflection or fluctuation phenomena in the shape of flames caused by the corona wind and the coulomb's force. As the results of an experimental investigation, we found that the reduction of flashover voltages, in comparison with the no-flame case, are 62.7[%] for k=1.0, 34.2[%] for h=5[cm], 27.3[%] for h=7[cm] and 21.4[%] for h=9[cm] when ac voltage is applied.

Thermally-stabilized fiber-optic current sensors are proposed and demonstrated. The sensor head is made of two coil formers combined perpendicularly. In this sensor head, bending-induced birefringences can be reduced to the level much smaller than those of the single former type because the eigen-axes of the two perpendicular coil formers are made orthogonal to each other. Moreover, thermal variation of the birefringence is also expected to be minimized by the orthogonality of the two polarization eigen-axes. We changed the temperature slowly in the range of 20~45$^{\circ}C$ during 100 minutes. The overall linearity of the sensor is better than 1.2% in the range of 0~1000A. The long-term fluctuation of the sensor is less than 1% when measured for 3 hours at 500A and room temperature. Two orthogonally-polarized laser diodes are combined together to make the incident beam unpolarized. In the signal processing, the signals are separated by two parts and normalized respectively, which minimize the efects of optical fluctuations coming from sources, connectors, etc.

Combined radiative-convective heat transfer in a hot gas tube flow has been investigated numerically and experimentally. In the numerical analysis, a standard k-.epsilon. model is used for the evaluation of turbulent shear stresses and spherical harmonics method with the Weighted Sum of Gray Gases Model for the solution of radiative transfer equation. In the experimental study measured are the velocity and temperature of the hot gas flow generated by the propane gas combustion, and tude wall heat flux distribution. Numerical results are compared with experimental ones and it is confirmed that P-3 provides quite reliable results in the analysis of the combined radiation-convection system.

Mixed-firing of a bituminous and an anthracite coal carried out in a batch fluidized bed combustor(0.109 m-I.D., 0.9 m-height). Effect of particle size an mixing fraction of anthracite and bituminous coal combustion characteristics were studied. The temperature profiles and pressure fluctuation properties were measured to interpret the combustion characteristics in a batch fluidized bed combustor. The used domestic anthracite coal has heating value of 2010 kcal/kg and the imported high-calorific bituminous coal has heating value of 6520 kcal/kg. The combustion characteristics in a batch fluidized bed combustor could be interpreted by using pressure fluctuation properties and temperature increasing rates. It was found that the optimum anthracite mixing percentage could be predicted analyzing the combustion rate and fluidization characteristics, The optimum mixing fraction was about 30 %. The different burning region of fluidized bed combustor was measured by temperature increasing rates.

It is required to design the RF link with sufficiently stable signal margin to minimize bit errors and improve the quality of received data in the telemetry system modulated digitally like PCM/FM. In case of the vehicle flying at a high speed, the variation of the gain pattern between transmitting and receiving antenna and the fee space loss due to flight distance cause the fluctuation of link. In this paper, KSR(Korea Sounding Rocket)- III, the first domestic liquid rocket which was successfully launched in Nov. 2002 is introduced. The SNR(signal-to-noise ratio) variation of the telemetry signal which was measured at S-band ground station, the one which was simulated considering the flight trajectory, and the attitude variation such as roll, pitch and yaw are compared, analyzed, and agree very well. In addition, two virtual flying situations are simulated and evaluated-only one antenna is equipped in one case, and rocket is roll-free in the other.

In this study, we examined the evaluation of virtual Reality (VR) according to the use of motion platform. We recorded electrogastrogram, skin conductance, blood volume, skin temperature, heart rate, and the frequency of eyeblink before, during, after virtual navigation in 33 subjects. We used simulator sickness questionnaire, presence questionnaire , and self-report to evaluate cybersickness and presence in VR system. All subjects experienced VR two times in Motion platform condition and non-Motion platform condition at two-week intervals. Presence score of motion platform condition was greater than non-motion platform condition. The frequency and severity of cybersickness were significantly reduced in motion platform condition than non-motion platform condition. These results suggest that the use of motion platform that synchronizes visual presentation provides higher presence and reduces cybersickness.

Using the hot-wall epitaxy method, we grew a $Hg_{1-x}Cd_xTe$ (MCT) thin film in-situ after growing (111) CdTe of 9 $mu \textrm{m}$ as a buffer layer. The value of FWHM of double crystal x-ray diffraction rocking curve was 125 arcsec and the surface morphology was clean with a small roughness of 10 nm. From measuring the photocurrent of the grown MCT thin film, the maximum peak wavelength and the cut-off wavelength were 1.1050 $\mu\textrm{m}$ (1.1220 eV) and 1.2632 $\mu\textrm{m}$ (0.9815 eV), respectively. This peak wavelength corresponds to the peak of the band gap due to the intrinsic transition of the photoconductor. Therefore, the MCT thin film could be used as the photoconducting detector sensing a near-IR wavelength band from 1.0 to 1.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$.

In this study, a novel water surface detection method was proposed. In the method water surface is detected by analysis on correlation coefficients obtained from rectangular control areas of the same vertical position in two successive images including both water surface and staff gauge. Four methods respectively based on threshold, peak, slope and variance ratio, are used to identify water surface from vertical distribution of correlation coefficient. In addition, swaying correction algorithm and statistical filtering are applied to minimize outliers caused by positional image mismatch. Images taken from 28 different sites during low flow were tested to evaluate the method. Mean relative error to eye measurement was approximately from 3.4 to 5.7 cm. As long as water surface moves, this method can be used to improve image stage gauge by supplementing the previous water surface detection method.

To develop and evaluate the real-time SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) motion measurement system, true antenna phase center(APC) positions during SAT(Synthetic Aperture Time) are needed. In this paper, CDGPS(Carrier phase Differential Global Positioning System) post processing method is proposed to get the true APC position for spotlight SAR image formation. The CDGPS position is smoothed to remove high frequency noise which exists inherently in the carrier phase measurement. This paper shows smoothed CDGPS data is enough to provide the true APC for high-quality SAR image formation through motion measurement result, phase error estimation and IRF(Impulse Response Function) analysis.

ADCP는 3차원 유속과 수심을 관측하여 유량을 정확하게 계산하는 데 널리 이용되고 있는 최신계측기기로 국내에서도 유량조사사업단 등 기관에 도입되어 수위-유량관계곡선식의 보정 등에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 ADCP 관측값 중 수심관측 자료를 별도로 활용하는 부분도 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 특히 최근 4대강 사업으로 인한 하상변동 측정에 기존 유량관측용으로 구매된 ADCP를 수심관측용으로 활용할 수 있다. ADCP는 일정한 각도로 경사진 4개의 초음파 빔을 활용하여 사선 방향으로 수심을 각각 관측한다. 최근에는 별도의 수심관측용의 수직 빔을 추가 설치하여 한번 관측에 초당 5개 지점의 수심을 동시에 관측할 수 있어 수심관측용으로도 기존 단독빔 음향측심기에 비해 효율적으로 수심을 관측할 수 있다. 그리고 ADCP는 GPS와 연동되어 수심관측의 3차원 공간정보 (x, y, z)를 창출할 수 있어 기존 GIS 자료와 융합될 수 있다. 하지만 기존의 음향 측심기의 수직빔과 다르게 ADCP의 빔이 일정한 각도로 경사져 있고 선박 활용 관측 시 요동에 의해 흔들려 각각의 빔이 계측한 수심의 수평위치를 정확하게 추출하기 어려운 점이 있다. 특히 경사빔에 의한 수심관측지점에 GPS 정보를 추정하여 부여하는 작업도 까다롭다고 하겠다. 그리고 수심관측자료 자체의 오차나 특이점 제거 등의 보정작업을 거쳐야 하는 문제도 있다. 따라서 원자료를 직접 활용할 수 없고 별도의 후처리 과정을 거쳐야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다음의 알고리즘을 개발하였다: 1) 경사빔에 의한 관측지점의 수평위치 산정, 2) ADCP의 흔들림 (피치와 롤링) 보정, 3) 경사빔의 관측위치에 지리정보부여, 4) 수심관측치 오차와 특이점 보정, 5) 관측자료의 GIS 파일 전환. 이러한 알고리즘은 GUI와 연동되어 적용되었으며 편리하게 이용되도록 구성되었다. 그리고 본 연구는 이러한 ADCP의 수심관측 자료와 하천 및 저수지 등 경계 GIS 파일을 연동시켜 전체 혹은 국부 저수량과 하상변동량을 계상하는 알고리즘도 추가하여 관측자료의 실무에서의 활용성을 증대시키고자 하였다.
