Graphite materials for lithium ion battery anode materials are the most commercially available due to their structural stability and low price. Recently, research efforts have been conducted on carbon coatings by improving side reactions at the edge site of carbon materials. The carbon coating process has classified into a CVD by chemical reaction, wet coating process with solvent and dry coating by mechanical impact. In this paper, the rapid crush/coating process was used to solve the problem of which only few parts of the carbon precursor (pitch) can be used and also environmental problems caused by solvent removal in the wet coating process. When the ratio of needle coke to pitch was 8 : 2 wt%, and the rapid crush/coating process was carried out, it was confirmed that the fracture surface was coated by pitch. The pitch-coated sample was treated at 2400 ℃ and 41.8% improvement in 10C/0.1C rate characteristic was observed. It is considered that the material simply manufactured through the simple crush/coating process can be used as an anode electrode material for a lithium ion battery.

When sea tide and wave velocity change, the behavior of silt protectors underwater changes, and a hydraulic force exceeding the anchor wave force is applied. In this study, the movement mechanism of a silt protector has been analyzed using the mass-spring method. The initial position of the silt protector was in the Jindo area near Gwangpo Port (742-1, Gyupori, Chongdo-myeon, Jindo-gun, Jeonnam, Korea). The tension required to exceed the holding power of the anchor was 0.05 m/s at 318 sec., 0.15 m/s at 77 sec., 0.25 m/s at 43 sec., and 0.3 m/s at 37 sec.. As the anchor started to move from the sea floor and the tide speed increased to 0.01 m/s, anchor movement start time shortened by an average of 11.2 sec.. Compared with when tide was the only affecting factor, the silt protector and anchor were found to have moved 19.7 % at 0.1 m/s, 7.6 % at 0.15 m/s, 5.8 % at 0.2 m/s, 4.3 % at 0.25 m/s and 2.8 % at 0.3 m/s, showing an increase. When wave effect was added to the tide, anchor movement started when the flow rate was slow 7.6 % of the time. With a high flow velocity, anchor movement started without any significant difference less than 4.3 % of the time. When tide speed exceeded 0.13 m/s and the direction of the waves matched, the silt protector was not able to perform due to collisions with surrounding sea structures. When installing a silt protector, the fluid flow situation and the silt protector situation must be carefully analyzed using the mass-spring method to apply the result found in this study.

Recently, a single or multi processor system uses the hierarchical memory structure to reduce the time gap between processor clock rate and memory access time. A cache memory system includes especially two or three levels of caches to reduce this time gap. Moreover, one of the most important things In the hierarchical memory system is the hit rate in level 1 cache, because level 1 cache interfaces directly with the processor. Therefore, the high hit rate in level 1 cache is critical for system performance. A victim cache, another high level cache, is also important to assist level 1 cache by reducing the conflict miss in high level cache. In this paper, we propose the advanced high level cache management scheme based on the processor reuse information. This technique is a kind of cache replacement policy which uses the frequency of processor's memory accesses and makes the higher frequency address of the cache location reside longer in cache than the lower one. With this scheme, we simulate our policy using Augmint, the event-driven simulator, and analyze the simulation results. The simulation results show that the modified processor reuse information scheme(LIVMR) outperforms the level 1 with the simple victim cache(LIV), 6.7% in maximum and 0.5% in average, and performance benefits become larger as the number of processors increases.

유사의 이동은 하천, 해안 지역과 같은 수계에서 하상의 변동, 침식과 퇴적을 일으켜 지형적인 변화를 초래한다. 유사의 이동은 유사의 특성과 유체의 유수동역학적 특성에 의해 결정되며 유체특성 간의 복잡한 상호 작용에 의해 변화한다. 유사가 가지는 점착성은 유사의 특성에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 입자의 크기가 매우 작은 점착성 유사는 그 표면이 가지는 전자기적 점착력에 의해 주위의 1차 입자나 다른 작은 알갱이들이 서로 뭉치는 응집과 충돌에 의해 크기가 작아지는 파괴의 과정을 겪는다. 이 과정을 응집현상이라고 하며 응집현상을 통해 점착성 유사의 크기와 밀도, 침강속도는 계속해서 변화한다. 따라서 점착성 유사의 응집거동 고려한 유사 이동 연구는 필수적이다. 과거 연구의 많은 사례에서 유사의 크기와 농도는 비례 관계를 가지는 것이 일반적이라 알려져 있다. 그러나 실제 현장에서 측정한 결과 유사의 크기와 농도가 반비례 관계를 가지는 특이점이 발견되었다. 실측 연구에서 발견된 응집거동에 따른 유사의 특성의 특이한 변화를 설명하기 위해 1차원 연직 수치 모형(1DV)을 이용하여 수치 실험을 수행하였다. 모의 수행 시, 흐름 조건을 크기와 방향이 일정한 순방향흐름(Current)에 특정 주기와 진폭을 가지는 진동 흐름(Oscillatory Flow)을 추가하여 진행하였다. 플럭의 성장과 그에 따른 입자의 크기는 많은 현상에 영향을 받는다. 그 중 응집현상의 응집 과정과 파괴 과정 중 어떤 현상이 더 우세한지 그 경쟁관계를 파악하여 플럭의 크기의 증감을 예측할 수 있게 농도(?)와 난류소산매개변수(?)를 이용하여 $c/G^{0.5}$로 매개화하였다. 실험 결과, 순방향 흐름을 제외하고 스토크스파 흐름 조건을 이용하여 진행된 모의에서는 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례하는 현상을 관찰할 수 없었으며 $c/G^{0.5}$ 의 변화 역시 흐름의 속도와 농도가 더 큰 지점에서 큰 값을 가지는 일반적인 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나 같은 조건에서 순방향흐름을 추가하여 모의한 결과에서는 플럭의 크기와 농도가 반비례하는 현상을 나타냈다. 연직 방향 $c/G^{0.5}$의 변화를 나타낸 그래프에서 응집과 파괴의 우세에 따라 $c/G^{0.5}$ 가 역전되는 현상을 확인하였다. 즉, 플럭의 크기는 난류의 구조와 그 영향에 의해 농도와 비례관계를 갖지 않을 수도 있다고 판단된다. 또한 본 연구에서 정상류 흐름 조건의 유무에 따라 플럭의 크기와 농도가 비례하거나 반비례하는 상반된 결과를 보였다. 정상류 흐름 조건이 난류의 강도에 큰 역할을 하며 이에 따라 비선형 관계에 영향을 끼친다는 것을 발견하였다. 그러나 흐름의 영향에 대한 더 자세한 분석은 본 연구에서 진행되지 않았으며 향후 연구 시에 분명히 고려되어야 할 사항이다.

Debris flows occur in mountainous areas due to heavy rains resulting from climate change and result in disasters in the downstream area. The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact force of a debris flow when a check dam according is installed in various locations in the channel of a highly mountainous area. A Finite Differential Element Method (FDM) model was used to simulate the erosion and deposition based on the equation for the mass conservation and momentum conservation while considering the continuity of the fluid. The peak impact force from the debris flow occurred at 0 to 5 sec and 15 to 20 sec. When the supplied water discharge was increased, greater peak impact force was generated at 16 to 19 sec. This means that when increasing the water supply, the velocity of the debris flow became faster, which results in increased energy of the consolidation between the particles of the water and the sediment made. If a number of check dams were to be set up, it would be necessary to investigate the impact force at each location of the check dam. The results of this study could provide useful information in predicting the impact force of the debris flow and in installing the check dams in appropriate locations.

Object detection in maritime means that the captain detects floating objects that has a risk of colliding with the ship using the computer automatically and as accurately as human eyes. In conventional ships, the presence and distance of objects are determined through radar waves. However, it cannot identify the shape and type. In contrast, with the development of AI, cameras help accurately identify obstacles on the sea route with excellent performance in detecting or recognizing objects. The computer must calculate high-volume pixels to analyze digital images. However, the CPU is specialized for sequential processing; the processing speed is very slow, and smooth service support or security is not guaranteed. Accordingly, this study developed maritime object detection software and implemented it with FPGA to accelerate the processing of large-scale computations. Additionally, the system implementation was improved through embedded boards and FPGA interface, achieving 30 times faster performance than the existing algorithm and a three-times faster entire system.

In order to solve the problem of urban traffic congestion, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) concept using Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft has been gaining popularity, and many domestic and international studies are underway. However, since these aircraft inevitably fly over densely populated areas, it is essential to ensure safety, which starts with accurately analyzing the crash risk. In this paper, the locations and impact speeds of crash are computed using six degree-of-freedom simulations of an eVTOL aircraft in a fixed-wing mode. System malfunction was modeled by a sudden loss of thrust with control surfaces being stuck during cruise. Because most of these eVTOL aircraft are still under development, a methodology of constructing a six degree-of-freedom dynamics model from generic specification is also developed. The results show that the crash locations are highly concentrated right under the aircraft within a square that has an edge length similar to the cruise altitude. Speed distribution is more complicated because almost identical crash locations can be achieved by two very different paths resulting in a large variation in the speeds.

Recently, a variety of cultural life using drones as an entertainment tool has been created, and in order to realize this, more and more users are using drones with good performance enough to invade the no-flight zone. Drones for satisfying entertainment activities must have long flight times and be able to fly long distances, which can often cause great damage by invading no-flight zones or causing unwanted flight crashes. In this study, in order to solve this problem, a no-flight zone is set with GCS(Ground Control System), and when flying at a critical speed of 10km/h or less, the drone is safely operated by not entering the critical distance 10m away from the no-flight zone, and the critical speed A method was proposed to prevent the drone from entering the no-flight zone by allowing the drone to self-drop by GCS control when it flies beyond the threshold and enters the critical distance. As a result of a total of 44 repeated experiments in a specific experimental area with the proposed method, the drone safely self-dropped except for the case where it crossed the restricted area once or twice. It was found to be an appropriate way to prevent this.

Warships widely spread numerous chaffs using a blast, which form chaff clouds that create false radar cross-sections to deceive enemy radars. In this study, we established a numerical framework based on a one-way coupling of computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method to simulate the spatiotemporal distribution of chaff clouds for warships in the air. Using the framework, we investigated the effects of wind, initial chaff cartridge angle, and blast pressure on the distribution of chaff clouds. We observed three phases for the chaff cloud diffusion: radial diffusion by the explosion, omnidirectional diffusion by turbulence and collision, and gravity-induced diffusion by the difference in the fall speed. The wind moved the average position of the chaff clouds, and the diffusion due to drag force did not occur. The direction of radial diffusion by the explosion depended on the initial angle of the cartridge, and a more vertical angle led to a wider distribution of the chaffs. As the blast pressure increased, the chaff clouds spread out more widely, but the distribution difference in the direction of gravity was not significant.

China's utility model as a supplement to the invention patent, has short application duration, fast authorized speed, and has the same exclusive rights with patents, so companies can quickly dominate the market. But the utility model does not need to carry out substantive examination, so has lower stability, high frequency of invalid to accepted, so compare with the invention patent, difficult to be protected. In order to actively encourage the small and medium-sized enterprises to promote their inventions, and protect domestic patents, China established a protection policy of patent evaluation report for the utility model rights, especially the patent evaluation report can be used as evidence in a patent infringement trial, to provide judicial remedies for utility model patentee and the party of patent disputes. Many experts believe that the establishment of patent evaluation report system can improve the stability of the utility model patent right, and when the defendant request for invalidation of the patent right in the defense period, if there is no novelty, creativity lost or no other reason has not led to the stability of patent right given in a patent evaluation report of the utility model patents, the court may not suspend the trial, without having to wait for the Patent Reexamination Board makes the patent invalid declaration decisions, can improve the efficiency of the judicial process, accelerate the patentee's time. However, in practical patent infringement, the patent evaluation report system and invalidation system are in conflict. In this paper, through the analysis of the current China utility model system and compared with the South Korean utility model system, review the role and character of the patent evaluation report system, and through the actual cases of the utility model patent infringement litigation, analysis possible variates from the decision of patent evaluation report, to find out the reason of the patent evaluation report system being in conflict with the invalidation system, and research on the effectiveness for protecting Utility Model with China's Patent Evaluation Report.
