The electrode for gas sensor was prepared by using pitch-based activated carbon fibers and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to investigate the toxic gas sensing characteristics. The physicochemical properties of activated carbon fibers electrode for gas sensor were analyzed with SEM and BET. Toxic gases sensing property of the electrode was also identified by different toxic gases such as $NH_3$, NO and $CO_2$. The specific surface area of activated carbon fibers electrode for gas sensor was decreased by 33% owing to PVA used as a binder compared with the activated carbon fibers. However, its pore size distribution of the ACF electrode was not greatly influenced by PVA. The activated carbon fibers electrode for gas sensor responded to toxic gases by electron hopping unlike semiconductor based gas sensors. In this study, activated carbon fibers electrode was decreased to 7.5% in resistance for the NH3 gas of the 100 ppm concentration and its $NH_3$ gas sensing property was confirmed the most excellent compared with other toxic gases.

디스플레이의 기술발전에 의해 대면적 고해상도의 LCD가 제작되어 왔다. 이에 따라 LCD 점등검사를 위한 Probe Unit의 기술 또한 급속도로 발전하고 있다. 고해상도에 따라 TFT LCD pad가 미세피치화 되어가고 있으며, panel의 검사를 위한 Probe 또한 30 um 이하의 초미세피치를 요구하고 있다. 따라서, 초미세 pitch의 LCD panel의 점등검사를 위한 Probe Unit의 개발이 시급하가. 본 연구에서는 30 um 이하의 미세피치의 Probe block을 위한 Slit wafer의 식각 공정 조건을 연구하였다. Si 공정에서 식각율과 식각깊이에 따른 profile angle의 목표를 설정하고, 식각조건에 따라 이 두 값의 변화를 관측하였다. 식각실험으로 Si DRIE 장비를 이용하여, chamber 압력, cycle time, gas flow, Oxygen의 조건에 따라 각각의 단면 및 표면을 SEM 관측을 통해 최적의 식각 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 식각율은 5um/min 이상, profile angle은 $90{\pm}1^{\circ}$의 값을 목표로 하였다. 이 때 최적의 식각조건은 Etching : SF6 400 sccm, 10.4 sec, passivation : C4F8 400 sccm, 4 sec의 조건이었으며, 식각공정의 Coil power는 2,600 W이었다. 이러한 조건의 공정으로 6 inch Si wafer에 공정한 결과 균일한 식각율 및 profile angle 값을 보였으며, oxygen gas를 미량 유입함으로써 식각율이 균일해짐을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 최적의 Slit wafer 식각 조건을 확립함으로써 Probe Unit을 위한 Pin 삽입공정 또한 수율 향상이 기대된다.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the pull-out characteristics of screw anchor piles for use in braced excavation and cut-slope. A series of reduced-scale model tests were performed on model screw anchor piles with different geometric characteristics such as screw size and pitch length. The results indicated that the pullout resistance increases with decreasing the pitch length for a given screw size. It was also observed that the pullout capacity of a screw anchor pile increases with the screw size up to a certain size beyond which the increase becomes minimal. The results are presented in such a way that the pullout characteristics of screw piles with different screw geometric characteristics can be identified. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.

In this paper, a series of experiment is performed for a scaled hovering rotor in a semi-anechoic chamber and the results are compared to the noise spectra predicted by using Lowson's loading noise equation and FW-H equation. It was founded that the sound directivity pattern for both experiments and predictions are similar in their trend. Meanwhile the FW-H equation showed better agreement with experiments in the near-field noise spectra, but at the far-field the Lowson's equation performed better. The discrete noise are known to be proportional to the loading on the blades, which can be controlled by collective pitch angle of the blades. It was founded that the predicted spectra with FW-H equation come close to the measured noise spectra in low collective pitch, but in high collective pitch angles the Lowson's equation be more reliable.

This paper presents a new music identification method using probabilistic and dynamic characteristics of melody. The propo3ed method uses pitch and MFCC parameters as feature vectors for the characteristics of music notes and represents melody pattern by pitch histogram and temporal sequence of codeword indices. We also propose a new pattern matching method for the hybrid method. We have tested the proposed algorithm in small (drama OST) and broad (1.005 popular songs) search spaces. The experimental results on search areas of OST and 1,005 popular songs showed better performance of the proposed method over conventional methods. We achieved the performance improvement of average $9.9\%$ and $10.2\%$ in error reduction rate on each search area.

This tutorial summarizes the coordinate transforms for formulating geophysical problems. To ensure mathematical consistency, this discussion begins with the right-hand rule. Further, the concepts of active and passive transforms are introduced. By extending these concepts, the coordinate transform and its inverse between two coordinates are related to the matrix transpose. The yaw-pitch-roll rotation and the azimuth-deviation-tool face rotation transforms are described as the most frequently used schemes, and the relation between the Rodrigues' rotation formula and these two transforms are mathematically explained. The "Gimbal Lock" problem inherent in yaw-pitch-roll rotation is schematically presented and mathematically derived. As a useful tool overcome this problem, the principle and usage of the quaternion is also described.

These days, it is developed renewable energy-based wind power technology. Wind power generation is relatively quiet, and environmental damage is relatively low. In developed countries, a lot of wind power generation is being built. In Korea, the generation efficiency is low because there are few areas where the wind speed is maintained for four seasons. In recent years, forest damage, low noise, and environmental degradation complaints are frequent. In this paper, we performed an experiment to manage pitch control effectively by analyzing wind, direction, and temperature in real time based on FUZZY rule and cluster analysis.Using the new algorithm proposed by the simulation results, we could verify the efficiency of wind power generation pitch control for wind condition and direction condition by using the pitch control analysis technique.Furthermore, visualization representations have proven to automatically analyze early warning and efficiency of generator performance.

This paper presents a virtual-legged walking model for bipedal robots and analyzes its fundamental RPY(Roll, Pitch, and Yaw) motion effects by simulation. For the purpose of identifying the motion effects of the bipedal walking, we assign some arbitrary trajectories both at the center of mass and at the center of pressure of the robot based on human walking. And then we verify the major moments to the roll, pitch, and yaw directions of the robot. As a result, it is shown that those motions are natural in the process of bipedal walking and they are deeply dependent on the step distance, the vertical level of the center of mass, and the acceleration of the robot. The importance of trajectory planning for the footstep location during a bipedal walking is finally addressed in terms of balance.

Performance analyses were performed on a propeller developed for use in a PAV (Personal Air Vehicle) under 600 kg Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW). The actuator disc theory and CFD analyses were used to estimate the hovering time with regards to MTOW variation for a given battery weight. The interference induced power factor kint was introduced to account for the effect of flow interference between the propellers and to estimate the performance of counter-rotating propellers. The Maximum Figure of Merit (FM) value of the propeller pitch was determined and the design RPM range for the required power inversely obtained from the CFD results. Previous research indicate that the flight time of large multi-copter is limited by the available battery energy density. Similarly, the propeller pitch settings and spacing are important factors in reducing the kint value.

In this work, phenolic resins containing conductive carbon fillers, such as, petroleum coke, carbon black, and graphite, were used to improve the surface heating elements by impregnating a pitch-based carbon paper. The influence of conductive carbon fillers on physicochemical properties of the carbon paper was investigated through electrical resistance measurement and thermal analysis. As a result, the surface resistance and interfacial contact resistivity of the carbon paper were decreased linearly by impregnating the carbon fillers with phenol resins. The increase of carbon filler contents led to the improvement of electrical and thermal conductivity of the carbon paper. Also, the heating characteristics of the surface heating element were examined through the applied voltage of 1~5 V. With the applied voltage, it was confirmed that the surface heating element exhibited a maximum heating characteristic of about $125.01^{\circ}C$(5 V). These results were attributed to the formation of electrical networks by filled micropore between the carbon fibers, which led to the improvement of electrical and thermal properties of the carbon paper.
