Artificial lightweight aggregates were produced by using bottom ashes and dredged soils from coal power plant. The amount of glassy phases on the aggregate surfaces, specific gravities, absorption rates, and observations of cross-sectional surfaces were compared according to the compositions, sintering temperatures, and the amount of coating. It is concluded that surface modification by 10 % $CaCO_3$ coating on the aggregate surfaces enhances the properties of aggregates as follows: Specific gravities were controlled by depressing formation of large pores in the aggregates. Sticking phenomena among aggregates during the sintering process was drastically decreased by reducing glassy phases on the aggregate surfaces. Pumping problems during the application of ready-mix concretes containing lightweight aggregates having high value of absorption rates could be solved by reducing the absorption rate.

Wicks play an important role in determining the thermal performance of heat pipes. Foam-type wicks are known to have good potential for enhancing the capillary performance of conventional types of wicks, and this is because of their high porosity and permeability. In this study, we develop an analytic expression for predicting the permeability of a foam-type wick based on extensive numerical work. The proposed correlation is based on the modified Kozeny-Carman's equation, where the Kozeny-Carman coefficient is given as an exponential function of porosity. The proposed correlations are shown to predict the previous experimental results well for an extensive parametric range. The permeability of the foam-type wick is shown to be significantly higher than that of conventional wicks because of their high porosity.

This paper reports a fractional-N phase-locked-loop(PLL) frequency synthesizer that is implemented in a $0.35-{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process and generates a quadrature signal for an FRS terminal. The synthesizer consists of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO), a charge pump(CP), loop filter(LF), a phase frequency detector(PFD), and a frequency divider. The VCO has been designed with an LC resonant circuit to provide better phase noise and power characteristics, and the CP is designed to be able to adjust the pumping current according to the PFD output. The frequency divider has been designed by a 16-divider pre-scaler and fractional-N divider based on the third delta-sigma modulator($3^{rd}$ DSM). The LF is a third-order RC filter. The measured results show that the proposed device has a dynamic frequency range of 460~510 MHz and -3.86 dBm radio-frequency output power. The phase noise of the output signal is -94.8 dBc/Hz, and the lock-in time is $300{\mu}s$.

This paper was discussed about in-site application of heavyweight(or high density) concrete. Heavyweight concrete was placed with the method of conventional. Placement of conventionally mixed heavyweight concrete is subject to the same considerations of quality control as normal density concrete, except that it is far more susceptible to variations in quality due to improper handling. It is particularly subject to segregation during placement. Segregation of heavyweight concrete results not only in variation of strength but, far more importantly, in variation in density that are intolerable for work this type, since this adversely affects shielding properties. Heavyweight concrete materials and heavyweight concrete should be sampled and tested prior to and during construction to insure conformance with applicable standards and specifications.

This paper describes a COMS IF transceiver IC for 10-MHz bandwidth wireless local loops. It interfaces between the RF section and the digital MODEM section and performs the IF-to-baseband (Rx) and baseband-to-IF (Tx) frequency conversions. The chip incorporates variable gain amplifiers, phase-locked loops, low pass filters, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. It has been implemented in a 0.6 -${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 2-poly 3-metal CMOS process. The phase-locked loops include voltage-controlled oscillators, dividers, phase detectors, and charge pumps on chip. The only external complonents are the filter and the varactor-tuned LC tank circuit. The chip size is 4 mm $\times$ 4 mm and the total supply current is about 57 mA at 3.3 V.

지난 20여년 동안 반도체 레이저 다이오드는 주로 CD (DVD) 픽업용 (파장: 640 nm 이하) 및 통신용 (파장 1550 nm) 광원 분야에서 집중적으로 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 기술의 개발과 더불어 파장조절이 비교적 자유로워지고 광출력이 증대 되면서 기존의 레이저 고유의 영역까지 그 응용분야기 확대되고 있고, 이에 따라 고출력 반도체 레이저 다이오드의 시장 규모도 꾸준히 증가되고 있는 상황이다. 고출력 반도체 레이저 다이오드는 발진 파장 및 광출력에 따라 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있으며, 특히 발진파장이 808 nm 인 고출력 레이저 다이오드의 경우 재료가공, 펌핑용 광원 (DPSSL, 광섬유 레이저), 의료, 피부미용 (점 제거), 레이저 다이오드 디스플레이 등 가장 다양한 응용분야를 가진 광원 중의 하나라고 할 수 있다. MBE(Molecular Beam Epitaxy)로 성장된 InAlAs 에피층 (epi-layer)을 사용하여 고출력을 갚는 레이저 다이오드를 제작함에 있어서, 에피층은 결함 (defect)이 없는 우수한 단결정이 요구되지만, 실제 결정 성장 과정에서는 성장온도와 Al 조성비 등의 성장 조건의 변화에 따라 전기적 광학적 특성 및 신뢰성에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 DLTS (Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy) 방법을 이용하여 InAlAs 양자점 에피층의 깊은 준위 거동을 조사하였다. DLTS 측정 결과, 0.3eV 부근의 point defect과 0.57 ~ 0.70 eV 영역의 trap이 조사되었으며, 이는 갈륨 (Ga) vacancy와 산소 원자의 복합체에 기인한 결함으로 분석된다.

An extensive range of pumping facilities are employed in the regional water supply system in metropolitan areas, and optimization and the systematic combination of the pump facilities have direct bearing on the stability and economy of the water supply system concerned. These systems must be able to guarantee stability, efficiency and offer high reliability. Preparation of metropolitan area regional water supply system construction project must include a basic plan which takes into account the suitability of pumping facilities to be used, the environment in which facilities will be installed, man-power requirements and basic operational and management policies. This paper contains over-all analysis of the management of metropolitan area regional water supply systems and highlights the cause of Inefficiency and energy waste and puts forward a remedial plan of action. In addition, pump/motor specification programs were developed using Visual Basic to assist selection of the same.

This paper presents the performance of a porous glass electroosmotic pump using an iodide/triiodide aqueous solution. The porous glass electroosmotic pump is characterized in terms of the flow rate and voltage. The flow rate and voltage increases linearly with current. A point where the voltage significantly increases is observed owing to an excess in redox capacity. The transition time monotonously decreases with current. The normalized flow rate (flow rate per membrane surface area) is used to compare previous results with results obtained in this study. The normalized flow rate of porous glass frits is three times higher than that of Nafion 117.

For pump-fed rocket propulsion system, the temperature of LOX to be supplied to turbopump inlet should be satisfied with pump inlet temperature requirement during all operating stages, as excessive temperatures can result in cavitation due to reduction in NPSH, thus either damaging the pump or adversely affecting pump performance rise. So exact estimation of LOX temperature rise is absolutely needed for developing reliable propulsion system. This paper presents systematic analysis scheme for estimating inner process of cryogenic propellant tank which is needed for LOX temperature rise. And this paper presents LOX temperature rise and thermal stratification for all rocket operating stages including cooling, filling, waiting, pre-pressurization and firing, with the application of buoyancy driven boundary layer theory.

Soliton pulse outputs are generated with figure '8' type erbium-doped fiber laser mode-locked by using a fiber loop mirror. The fiber loop mirror consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier at the one end of the loop, and 504 m-long dispersion-shifted fiber as a nonlinear medium. By pumping with a $1.48{\mu}m$ wavelength laser diode and adjusting the polarization controllers inside the loop, soliton pulses are generated with 1574 nm center wavelength and 1.2 nm linewidth. The soliton pulses are found randomly spaced within the fundamental period corresponding to cavity round trip time. The autocorrelation trace shows that the pulse width is 2.4 ps, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. The pulsewidth- bandwidth product is found to be 0.348 which means that the pulses are nearly transform-limited.imited.
