Micro-droplet cell with free droplet as a micro-electrochemical technique has been limited to apply to electrochemical systems with high wetting properties such as an acidic solution and low grade stainless steels(Type 316L). By loading negative pressure to a droplet, control of droplet size, and use of hydrophobic gasket, the cell is modified to be allowed to use for electrochemical systems with high wetting properties. For giving the reliability of new cell, studies on local corrosion were conducted for three different systems-an acidic chloride solution and high chromium ferritic stainless steel, the other acidic chloride solution and type 316, and a neutral chloride solution and type 316. stainless steel. Firstly, the modified micro-droplet cell allows the anodic polarization curves in an acidic chloride solution to show the fact that the local corrosion of high chromium stainless steel near the $\alpha/\sigma$ interface is due to the Cr depleted zone. Secondly, the local anodic polarization test of type 316 L in the other acidic chloride solution can be successfully conducted in the cell. Furthermore, the local polarization curves help elucidating the corrosion of type 316 with $\delta-ferrite$ phase. Finally, the polarization curves of type 316 L in a neutral chloride solution indicates that the factor affecting the pitting corrosion resistance was inclusions rather than $\delta-ferrite$.

In this paper, we introduce CoMP in 3GPP LTE-Advanced Release 11 to take care of shadowing effects appearing in cell-edge areas to meet rapidly increasing demand for high speed transmission and multi-media data. In order to mitigate interference, orthogonalizing is ideal but it is slightly difficult to be applied to real systems. Therefore, interference alignment and avoidance are used in practical applications. Interference alignment is a scheme enabling us to consider interference our friend not enemy. We show lattice codes in Gaussian channel achieve Shannon capacity where strong interference exists. In addition, we show the relationship between channel parameter a and DoF(Degree of Freedom) applying lattice codes to interference alignment for interference channel with three users.

FTSR(Flight Termination System Receiver) is a device that receives a ground command signal to abort a flight mission when abnormal conditions occur in the space launch vehicle. The secure tone command message shall consist of a series of 11 character tone pattern. Each character consists of the sum of two tones which taken from a set of 7 tones defined by IRIG(Inter-Range Instrumentation Group) in the audio frequency range. The MHA(Modified High alphabet) command adds a security feature to the secure tone command by using the predefined difference code. In order to check the function and performance of MHA FTSR, which is under development, for KSLV-II, the testbed should have functions of RF signal generation, receiver's output port monitoring, RS-422 communication and test data management. In this paper, we first briefly introduce MHA command and FTSR interface, and then show the LavVIEW based testbed include its H/W configuration, S/W implementation and test results.

본 내용은 첨단 정보통신 기술을 이용하여 강의자 중심의 단방향 교육(Teaching) 환경을 학생 중심의 양방향 교육(Learning) 환경으로 개선하여 보다 창의적인 인재를 양성할 수 있는 교육환경 구축에 관한 내용이다. 우리나라를 포함한 OECD 국가들은 ICT활용 수업에 대한 필요성을 공감하고 교단 선진화를 위한 연구 및 지원을 다양하게 진행하고 있다. 학생들에게 지급하는 교과서를 인쇄매체 대신에 메모리 스틱, CD-ROM 및 인터넷을 통한 전자 매체로 대체하는 방안 등이 그 예이다. 따라서 학생들이 강의실에서 멀티미디어를 이용해 강의를 듣고, 과제를 풀며 정리된 내용을 발표하고 토론할 수 있는 양방향 수업환경이 요구된다. 그러나 컴퓨터를 활용한 수업을 진행할 때의 문제점이 강의내용을 학생들에게 효율적으로 전달하기가 어렵고, 학생들의 컴퓨터를 통제할 수 없기 때문에 수업을 이탈하는 경우가 발생되는 등 교육에 역효과가 초래된다. 본 내용에서 소개하는 양방향 수업진행 장비(드림랩)는 강의자가 학생들의 컴퓨터 모니터, 키보드 및 마우스를 자유로이 통제할 수 있어서 강의자의 화면과 음성을 실시간으로 선명하게 학생들에게 전달하고, 학생들의 내용을 모니터하고 제어할 수 있으며, 개인지도 및 수준별 그룹지도가 가능하다. 또한 강의자에게 개인적으로 질문을 할 수 있고, 학생들의 내용을 자신의 자리에서 전체 학생들에게 발표할 수도 있다. 드림랩은 순수 하드웨어로 구성되어 컴퓨터 기종이나 운영체제에 영향을 받지 않으며, 컴퓨터 자원과 네트워크 자원을 사용하지 않기 때문에 컴퓨터나 네트워크의 성능을 저하시키지 않는다. 또한 사용법이 간단하고 유지관리가 쉬운 장점 등이 있다. 따라서 컴퓨터를 활용한 수업진행이 원활하여 다양한 과목에 활용 가능하고, 학생들의 자발적인 수업 참여로 강의 중심 교육에서 자기 주도적 수업환경(T2L, Teaching to Learning)으로 자연스럽게 전환되어 교육의 질적 향상과 함께 창의적인 인재를 양성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, digital ultra-narrowband Walky-Talky using direct conversion method for CQPSK modulation scheme is implemented with satisfying the requirements of APCO P25. RF transceiver design and implementation scheme that minimize the influence of DC-offset and AC-coupling at ultra-narrowband is proposed. This scheme also minimizes the influence of nonlinear characteristic at power amplifier fir CQPSK modulation method. Test results of full system including DSP module and direct conversion RF transceiver show that FCC emission mask at 36.8 dBm PEP meets the standard requirements. The characteristic of receiver AGC by PWM control signal is linear at 40 dB dynamic range and voice communication at input power level of -116 dBm is successful. Also it is verified that the performance of BER versus frequency offset and versus SNR meets the standard requirements.

In this paper, it is proposed how to implement the object detection system which is able to apply to vehicular applications, unmanned facilities, automatic door and others with microwave. As the technology which detects an object with microwave is becoming more popular, it seems impossible to avoid mutual interference and jamming caused by limited frequency bandwidth. The system in this paper detects an object by correlating the code of TX and RX signals with the pseudo-random code having best quality in interference and jamming environment. In order to generate simulant doppler signal for detecting the distance of an fixed object where there is no doppler effect, the phase of TX signal is shifted continually. Also, the saturation of receiver was removed and the error of distance measurement was decreased by controlling the power of TX signal for getting constant RX signal. The proposed system detects a object which ranges from 0.5 m to 2.0 m and informs vocally whether there is the object within 1.0 m or not.

Today, many museums are changing their forms with ubiquitous environment. Unlike traditional museums providing only static text-based information attached to its corresponding artifacts to visitors, those ubiquitous museums provide not only artifacts' text information, but also many different forms of information such as sound or media through personal digital assistance or cell phones. However, these existing ubiquitous museums still provide each visitor only with artifact-centric information in very simple ways. Also this disadvantageous feature causes high gallery congestion problem resulting from providing a uniform path for every visitor. These limitations may be the biggest barrier to providing more various and useful information about artifacts to visitors through considering each visitor's preference. This paper propose a new optimal viewing path search algorithm to provide comfortable museum viewing for each visitor according to its preference. Also, a new congestion control method is developed to protect visitors from being put in some hot spots on their museum viewing, improving its comfort to a maximum.

This paper presents An efficient method of antenna placement considering EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) between equipments which are mounted on the UAV(Unmanned Air Vehicle). The analysis is accomplished for voice communication radio, control datalink, TCAS(Traffic Alert Collision & Avoidance System) and GPS(Global Positioning System) which are vulnerable to EMI because the frequencies are close to each other. There are two steps for analysis procedure : The first one is selecting antenna position on the UAV by monitoring return loss and pattern variation of each antenna. The second one is analyzing EMI via antennas between equipments. In the EMI analysis, spurious level of each transmitter, coupling level between antennas and system noise property are considered. This procedure can be used to predict EMI between equipments in development stage.
