In the most of a nation, the safety and emission gas inspection system of a vehicle in service have been conducted with the most compatible inspection system according to its real environmental situation. Especially, the state of vehicle emission gas is measured by advanced emission gas inspection equipment. It has the problem that the decrease effect of an environmental pollution matter is not calculated by weight percent measurement type equipment. Therefore, in this study, the correlations for the results of emission gas measurement are analyzed by comparing a weight percent measurement type (IDLE+ASM2525 mode) and an advanced mass measurement type (IM240 mode). As the result, the selectivity of an emission gas by IM240 mode is higher than that by IDLE+ASM2525 mode. In the future, therefore, the introduction of IM240 mode and a mass measurement type equipment are necessary. Also, we need to prepare a vehicle emission gas inspection system for introducing IM240 mode.

Recently, to assure the integrity of a structural components such as piping pressure vessels and thinning structure, Lamb wave inspection technique has been used in material evaluation. It is very important to select the optimal Lamb wave mode and to analyze the signal accurately because of its unique dispersion properties grnerating several modes within the speci-men. It this study, the feasibility of material evaluation applications using wavelet analysis of Lamb wave has been veir-fied experimentally. These results show as follows; 1)dispersion characteristic of each mode in dispersion curve is demon-strated that A0 mode propagating material surface is useful mode having the lest energy loss and not sensitive to surface condition. 2) it can be detected even the micro defect ($1\times2mm$) fabricated in ultrasonic probe flaw distance (290mm) to axis direction. 3) the wavelet transform which is called "time-frequency analysis" shows the Lamb wave propagation due to the change of materials characterization can be evaluated at each frequency and experimental group velocity of Lamb wave agrees quite well with that of simulated dispersion curve.ion curve.

To enable a master-slave control independent microgrid system (MSCIMGS) to supply electricity continuously, the microgrid inverter should perform mode transfer between grid-connected and islanding operations. Transient oscillations should be reduced during transfer to effectively conduct a seamless mode transfer. This study uses a typical MSCIMGS as an example and improves the mode transfer strategy in three aspects: (1) adopts a status-tracking algorithm to improve the switching strategy of the outer loop, (2) uses the voltage magnitude and phase pre-synchronization algorithm to reduce transient shock at the time of grid connection, and (3) applies the hybrid-sensitivity $H_{\infty}$ robust controller instead of the current inner loop to improve the robustness of the controller. Simulations and experiments show that the proposed strategy is more practical than the traditional proportional-derivative control mode transfer and effective in reducing voltage and current oscillations during the transfer period.

Ferroelectric 물질은 고유전성, 자발분극과 전기장에 따른 유전상수의 변화 등의 특성을 가지고 있으므로 많은 연구가 진행중이다. 이러한 ferroelectric 물질의 유전 특성에 미치는 요소로는 물질의 조성비, 박막의 스트레스, 결정성 등이 있다. 특히 스트레스에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 본 연구에서 산화물 인공격자를 이용하여 단일박막에서 얻을 수 없는 격자변형도를 얻어 격자 변형이 박막의 유전특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. BaTiO$_3$ (BTO)/SrTiO$_3$ (STO) 산화물 인공격자를 Pulsed laser deposition (PLD)법으로 (La,Sr)CoO$_3$ 전극이 코팅된 MGO (100) 단결정 기판위에 증착시켰다. 적층 주기에 변화를 주어 BTO와 STO 각각 1.01~1.095와 0.925 ~ 1.003의 단일 막에서는 얻을 수 없는 격자 변형도를 얻었다. 이 실험적 데이터를 기초로 하여 density functional theory (DFT)라고 불리는 범함수밀도론를 기초한 제일원리적 계산 방법을 통하여 격자 변형된 SrTiO$_3$의 구조적, 전기적 특성을 계산하였다. SrTiO$_3$와 BaTiO$_3$ 격자의 안정성을 분석하기 위하여 Vienna Ab-intio Simulation Package (VASP) code가 사용되었다. SrTiO$_3$와 BaTiO$_3$ 산화물 격자의 안정성 분석 후, frozen-phonon 계산 방법을 사용하여 zone-centered optical phonon mode가 계산되었으며, mode effective charge는 Berry-phase polarization 으로부터 얻어졌다. SrTiO$_3$ 격자가 격자변형이 일어나지 않은 상태로부터 c/a= 0.985로 격자 변형 이 일어남에 따라 optical phonon mode는 점차 hardening되었다. BaTiO$_3$ 격자의 경우 SrTiO$_3$ 격자와는 달리 격자 변형이 1.01~1.023으로 진행됨에 따라 optical phonon mode의 증가를 가져왔으나 Born effective charge의 증가하였으며, 더 이상 격자 변형이 진행됨에 따라 optical phonon mode의 감소를 가져왔으나 Born effective charge의 증가 유전상수는 증가했다. 격자 변형이 SrTiO$_3$ 와 BaTiO$_3$ 산화물 격자의 optical phonon mode와 Born effective charge에 크게 영향을 미쳤다.

Purpose: Ultrasonic scalers have been widely used for removing biofilm which is considered as major etiologic factor of periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of working parameters of piezoeletric ultrasonic scaler with scaler tip (No. 1 tip) on casting gold alloy removal. Methods: Type III dental casting gold alloy (Firmilay$^{circledR}$, Jelenko Inc, CA, USA) was used as substitute for tooth substance. Piezoeletric ultrasonic scaler and No.1 scaler tip (P-Max$^{circledR}$, Satelec, France) were selected. The selected working parameters were mode (P mode, S mode), power setting (2, 4, 8) and lateral force (0.5 N, 1.0 N, 2.0 N). The effect of working parameters was evaluated in terms of ablation depth, ablation width and ablation area. Results: Mode influenced ablation depth and ablation area. Power also influenced ablation depth and ablation area. Especially, Power 2 and power 8 showed statistically significant difference. Lateral force had influence on ablation width, and 0.5 N resulted significant increase compared with 1.0 N and 2.0 N. Ablation depth was influenced by mode, power and lateral force and defect width was influenced by lateral force. Ablation area was influenced by mode and power. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the use of piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler with No. 1 scaler tip in S mode and high power may result in significant loss of tooth substance.

This study was carried out to investigate the fracture behavior and the fracture criterion of yellow lauan(Shorea spp.), when has used for furniture and wood structures, and to offer a reliability for wood structure and basic data for wood fracture criterion in experiments which are fracture tested under mode I, mode II and mixed mode loading condition. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Fractures in specimens which have inclined grain in yellow lauan procedeed from crack tip in the radial direction along the grain. 2. In yellow lauan, $K_{IC}RL$ was 42.1kg/$cm^{3/2}$ and $K_{IIC}RL$ was 15.8kg/$cm^{3/2}$. 3. The fracture criteria of lauan were; ($K_I/K_{IC}$)+($K_{II}/K_{IIC}$)=1 in RL system with inclined grain at $45^{\circ}$, ($K_I/K_{IC}$)+$(K_{II}/K_{IIC})^2$=1 with inclined grain at $15^{\circ}$ and $(K_I/K_{IC})^2$+$(K_{II}/K_{IIC})^2$=1 with inclined grain at $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $75^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, respectively. 4. The fracture criterion of wood could vary with the species, and the load applying condition. In order to measure the fracture criterion strictly, along with standardization of specimen geometry a large amount of experimental data is needed. 5. $K_{IC}$(critical stress intensity factor) can be predicted by grain angle. As the grain inclined angle increased, $K_{IC}$ and $K_{IIC}$ are increased.

저전력 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템용 FFT(Fast-Fourier-Transform) LSI를 저전력 동작을 시키기 위해서 FFT LSI는 current-mode 회로로 구현되었다. Current-mode FFT LSI에서, VIC(Voltage-to-current converter)는 입력 전압 신호를 전류로 바꾸는 first main device이다. 저전력 OFDM을 위해 FFT LSI와 VIC가 한 개의 칩과 결합되는 것을 고려하면, VIC는 전력 손실은 낮고, VIC와 FFT LSI 사이에서의 DC offset 전류는 최소인 작은 크기의 chip으로 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 VIC를 제안한다. 선형 동작구간을 넓히고 DC offset 전류를 대폭 감소하는 방법을 제시하였다. VIC는 0.35[um] CMOS process로 구현되었으며, 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면 제안된 VIC는 current-mode FFT LSI와 0.1[uA] 미만의 매우 작은 DC offset 전류, 1.4[V]의 넓은 선형구간을 갖으며, 저전력으로 동작한다.

In this paper, we propose a convenient microwave orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode generation and multiplexing method operating in the 18 GHz frequency band, based on a $2{\times}2$ uniform circular array and a $4{\times}4$ Butler matrix. The three OAM modes -1, 0, and +1 were generated and verified using spatial S-parameter measurements; the measured back-to-back mode isolation was greater than 17 dB in the full 17 GHz to 19 GHz range. However, the radiated OAM beam centers were slightly dislocated and varied with both frequency and the mode index, because of the non-ideal characteristics of the Butler matrix. This resulted in mode isolation degradation and transmission distance limitations.

This paper presents a novel balanced filter design based on a metamaterial structure applicable to differential-mode excitation. The metamaterial structure is based on a unit-cell which under a differential-mode excitation behaves like composite right/left-handed(CRLH) metamaterial with filter characteristics. In contrast, the metamaterial unit-cell is below cut-off under a common-mode excitation. Experimental results are used to verify the proposed metamaterial's differential-mode characteristics. The metamaterial is fabricated with a balanced filter design resulting in an operating frequency range of 960~1000 MHz with a insertion loss of 4.1 dB.

A Head-Up-Display is an avionic equipment to identify targets and flight data at same time the pilot looks over the external environment outside canopy. The HUD displays various symbols to depend on avionic mode which is composed of navigation mode, air-to-air mode, air-to-ground mode. In air-to-air mode, HUD should provide the intuitive symbols for pilot to aim the target exactly in a short time. In this paper, we propose a design method to improve the visibility of the HUD Symbols.
