Due to the development of the industrial revolution, regulations on exhaust emissions have been continuously strengthened to reduce the rapidly increasing greenhouse gas emissions. The use of environmentally friendly fuels is essential to meet these regulations. Hydrogen has been attracting attention as a future environmentally friendly fuel, but due to its material properties, it faces significant challenges in handling and storage. As an alternative, ammonia has been proposed. Ammonia can be easily liquefied at room temperature compared to hydrogen and has a high energy density. In order to examine the applicability of ammonia as an engine fuel, experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of changes in combustion control parameters in a direct injection ammonia combustion engine. The experiments were conducted by varying two variables: spark timing and excessive air ratio. Observations were made on combustion stability and the trends of exhaust emissions such as nitrogen oxides and unburned ammonia under the conditions of an engine speed of 1,500 rpm and medium to high loads (brake torque of 200 Nm). By optimizing the combustion control parameters, conditions for stable combustion even when using ammonia as the sole fuel were identified, and plans are underway to apply strategies for future expansion of the operating range.

This paper aims to clarify if clustering effects among industries exist and if port-industry clustering effects exist. A knock-down approach was used in a survey and 16 industries were categorized. We defined which industry is more competitive in industry clusters and port-industry clusters. Another survey to experts was carried out to identify which industry is more appropriate to one of the three ports in Sudokwon (Seoul Metropolitan Areas): Incheon port, Pyungtaik port and Dangjin port. Five manufacturing industries are selected considering port-industry clustering relationships in this area and Analytic Hierarch Process was used for a pairwise comparison. Locational, social and economic factors are selected for 1st level. A result shows that Incheon port is more competitive in petroleum manufacturing, primary metal manufacturing and rubber and plastic manufacturing and Pyeontaik port is more competitive in metal assembly manufacturing and automobile and trailer manufacturing. However, sensitivity analysis shows a turnover of ranking in some industries. As there exist slight differences among three ports, cooperation is necessary when the government and Port Authorities make plans.

Korea is concerned with information security industry due to recent leak-out private information of 3 card companies. Executives are aware of damage from breach of security such as personal data spill, is more dangerous than any other financial risks. The information security industry, which was limited in physical security and network security formerly, is evolving into convergence security of public and facility security industry. The field of interest has also been changed into security of smart phone and intelligence image recently, from firewall or Anti-virus. The convergence security is originally about access control of facility, but recently its demand has been increased mostly by public institutions and major companies. The scope of the industry also varies from finance, education, distribution, national defense, medical care to automobile industry. The market of convergence security has been expanded and new various products and services of security of intelligent vehicle, 'U' healthcare, finance, smart grid and key industries are also developed. It is required to create and enhance of new curriculum and cultivate human resources for the development of knowledge information security industry. Raising standard of education and security consciousness of the nation is also necessary to strengthen the global competitiveness.

전세계는 $CO_2$ 규제강화와 에너지의 효율적 사용에 대한 사회적, 경제적 요구가 증대되면서 친환경 에너지 설비와 지능형 전력망(smart grid)가 크게 예상되고 있다. 이에 따라 기존 내연기관에 근거한 발전산업 및 자동차 산업은 필연적으로 청정에너지 기반의 전기에너지로 점진적으로 대체될 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 청정 발전 시스템의 보급 확대와 기존 에너지의 효율적 사용을 위해서 2차전지 기반의 전력저장 기술과 연료전지 기반의 분산발전 기술이 향후 미래에너지 산업의 근간이 되는 중요한 기술들로 부상하게 되었다. 아연/공기전지는 현재는 연료전지 개념의 1차전지에 기술수준이 머물러 있지만 향후 미래에는 기존의 리튬이온전지의 낮은 에너지밀도를 극복할 수 있는 미래 2차전지 기술의 하나로 평가받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 연료전지 개념의 아연/공기전지에 대하여 기존의 수소연료전지 기반의 분산발전 분야에 적용한다면 약 1/10 이하의 가격으로 조기에 시장진입이 가능할 것으로 판단하여 사전 타당성 연구 및 대면적화를 위한 기초 설계인자 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과, 소형 단전지부터 약 800cm2까지의 대면적 단전지까지 대면적화를 위한 기초연구를 실시하였으며, 4개의 cell로 구성된 최고출력 90W급 전해질 순환형 미니스택 시스템을 구성하여 발전시스템으로서의 가능성과 문제점 등을 도출하였다. 이러한 시험결과를 바탕으로 25개의 cell로 구성된 약 1kW 급 스택을 설계하여 향후 소형 발전시스템을 제작하고자 하였다.

무전해 니켈 도금은 산업기계 부품, 자동차 부품, 항공 및 전자 통신 부품 등에 이르기까지 산업 전반에서 폭넓게 사용되고 있다. 이는 무전해 니켈 도금 층이 우수한 균일성, 내마멸성, 내식성 등을 지녀 관련 연구가 지속적으로 활발하게 진행되어 왔기 때문이다. 특히, 최근에 이르기까지 도금 층이 얇고, 우수한 내마멸성 및 낮은 마찰계수를 활용한 무전해 니켈 도금은 산업현장에서 기계 부품들의 수명을 연장시키고, 그 성능을 개선시키는데 용이하게 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 무전해 니켈 도금 층의 우수한 특성을 활용하여 해수 부식과 캐비테이션-침식 복합 환경 하에 놓여 있는 금속 재료의 손상을 방지하고자 하였다. 이는 선박의 경우 최근 고속화, 대형화 추세에 따라 부품의 내구성 향상과 연비 효율성이 더욱 강조되고 있으며, 그에 따라 해수 속에서 고속 회전으로 더욱 가혹해진 캐비테이션 침식-부식 환경하에 놓인 선박의 프로펠러, 펌프 임펠러 및 케이싱 등의 금속재료 자체를 보호할 수 있는 고성능 재료의 개발이 요구되고 있기 때문이다. 또한 해양환경 하에서 무전해 니켈 도금 층에 대한 캐비테이션 침식 손상에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 회주철 표면에 무전해 니켈 도금을 실시하여 캐비테이션 침식 손상을 방지하고자 하였다. 무전해 니켈 도금을 실시하기 전 도금 층을 균일하게 형성하기 위해 샌드 페이퍼 #1200까지 연마 후 알칼리 탈지 실시하고, 산세(10% HCl)와 수세를 순차적으로 실시하여 전처리하였다. 이후 무전해 니켈 도금은 황산니켈, 차아인산나트륨, 구연산, 아세트산나트륨 그리고 미량의 질산납으로 구성된 도금욕에서 pH 4-6, $80-90^{\circ}C$의 조건으로 실시하였으며, pH는 NaOH를 이용하여 조정하였다. 이렇게 제작된 무전해 니켈 도금 층에 대하여 천연 해수 속에서 ASTM-G32 규정에 의거한 캐비테이션 침식실험을 통해 내구성을 평가하였다. 캐비테이션 실험 후에는 무게 감소량, 표면 손상깊이, 침식 손상 경향 등을 종합적으로 분석 비교하였다. 그 결과, 회주철에 대하여 무전해 니켈 도금을 실시할 경우 현저한 캐비테이션-침식 저항성 향상이 관찰되었다.

Due to the latest industrial flow comes mainly switch to high-tech industries, combustible metals as Al, Mg, Li, Zn more require to use for the aircraft, car, cell phones, electronics and others. As a result, Increasing the processing of combustible metals due to increase in amount of combustible metals giving rise dust explosions also. Most Explosions caused by combustible metal dust, occurred in air cleaning device of local exhaust ventilation to capture and store the combustible dust. Therefore, this study was conducted to present and analyze technically that deformation and rupture shape of air cleaning device structure by Finite Element Analysis(FEA) rather than a simple prediction, in case of explosion occurs in an air cleaning device.

MSDs(Musculoskeletal Disorders) and Job Stress have been recognized as one of major problems in industry these days according to the results of most industrial health/safety studies. Specifically, MSDs have been growing problems in Korea as well as in US and European countries with higher incidence rate every year. This study tries to understand characteristics of job stress and association between MSDs and job stress for the workers at automobile manufacturing industry. This study also tries to understand the differences in terms of job stress between white collar and blue collar workers. The results showed that there was definite association between symptoms of MSDs and some of major job stress factors. However, there were big differences in terms of associations between two groups(white collar and blue collar workers). The first group(white collar workers) showed more associations between symptoms of MSDs and some of major job stress factors than that of the second group(blue collar workers) although symptom rate of the second group was higher than that of the first group. It could be concluded that symptoms of the first group had more effects from job stress while symptoms of the second group had more effects from typical job risk factors based on the results of the study.

There are many kinds of seam trackers in the industrial welding field. We are proposed the contact seam tracking sensor applying strain gauges kind of contact sensor that mostly used in welding part now. For this seam tracking experiment, we made the strain gauges sensor by ourselves and tested how well the sensor tracks the seam. The experiment device consist of strain gauges sensor, amplifier circuit of strain gauges signal, saw wave generator, MOSFET power diving circuit and X-Y slide by moved DC motor. The tracking areas are X-Y planes(left, right, up and down) and the change of strain gauge resistance causes to move DC motor that connected to X-Y slide. As a result of experiment, we confirmed that the strain gauges sensor tracks a seam well, and X-Y slide DC motor was controlled by PWM control.
