본 연구에서는 LPG 자동차용 연료탱크 밸브 제조를 위한 주조방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 대상 밸브에는 그 내부에 두 개의 돌기가 존재한다. 돌기 내부에는 기공 결함이 흔히 발생하였다. 이러한 주조 불량을 최소화하기 위하여 대상 제품의 다이캐스팅 과정에서 용탕 흐름에 대한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 주요 공정 매개변수는 인게이트 위치, 제품 방향 및 주입 속도였다. 또한 진공 다이캐스팅의 사용을 고려하였다. 기공 결함의 위치는 모든 인게이트 위치와 제품 방향에 대해 거의 동일했다. 한편 주입 속도의 변화가 공기 포획의 위치에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 진공 다이캐스팅의 경우 기공 결함의 위치는 이전의 경우와 비슷했지만, 실제 상황에서는 진공으로 인해 기포가 많이 줄어들 것으로 예상된다.

It is well known that the water infiltration rate depends on soil properties such as soil water content, water head, capillary suction, density, hydraulic conductivity, and porosity. However, most of proposed infiltration models assume that the air phase is continuous and in equilibrium with the atmosphere or air compression and air entrapment on infiltration was not considered. This study presents experimental results on unsaturated water infiltration to relate air entrapment and hydraulic conductivity function based on soil air properties. The objectives of this study were to measure change of soil air pressure ahead of wetting front under air drain and air confined condition to find the confined air effect on infiltration rate, to reduce the entrapped air volume related with soil air pressure to increase the soil permeability, and to make a basis of infiltration process model for the purpose of improvement of infiltration rate in the homogeneous soil column. The results of the work show that soil air pressure increases according to increasement of the saturated soil depth rather than the wetting front depth during infiltration process.

A cell-entrapment technique using compressed air was applied to Bifidobacterium longum KCTC 3128 for the improvement of bifidobacteria viability. The main cell-entrapment matrix used was alginate, and viability improvement of the B. longum entrapped in alginate lattices was monitored along with the effects of other additional biopolymers. A prerequisite for acquiring consistent results was the uniformity of bead size and cell distribution which was achieved by using compressed air and mixing the cell suspension with sterilized alginate powder, respectively. The viability losses of the B. longum entrapped in alginate beads in the presence of three different substances logarithmically increased in relation to the reaction time, and proportionately decreased with an increased alginate concentration and bead diameter. The strongest improvement in B. longum viability was exhibited with a bead containing 3％ alginate and 0.15％ xanthan gum.

Pneumorrhachis, which involves the entrapment of air or gas within the spinal canal, is a rare clinical entity, and the pathogenesis and etiologies of this uncommon entity are various and can present a diagnostic challenge. Usually, pneumorrhachis represents an asymptomatic epiphenomenon but it can produce symptoms associated with its underlying pathology. Here, we report a rare case of symptomatic epidural pneumorrhachis accompanying pneumothorax. Possible pathogenic mechanisms are discussed and a review of the literature is included.

We report a case of an entrapped lung after the pectus bar repair of a pectus deformity. The entrapped lung was found incidentally during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pneumothorax. Based on VATS exploration, multiple bullae seemed to be the cause of the pneumothorax, but the entrapped lung was suspected to have been a cause of the air leakage.

UV-NIL is a promising technology for the fabrication of sub-100 nm features. Due to non-uniformity of the residual layer thickness (RLT) and a strong possibility of defects, many UV-NIL processes have been developed and some are commercially available at present, most are based on the 'step-and-repeat' nanoimprint technique, which employs a small-area stamp, much smaller than the substrate. This is mainly because, when a large-area stamp is used, it is difficult to obtain acceptable uniform residual layer thickness and/or to avoid defects such as air entrapment. As an attempt to enable UV_NIL with a large-area stamp for high throughput, we propose a new UV-NIL tool that is able to imprint 4 inch wafer in a low vacuum environment at a single step.

고압 다이캐스팅에서 요구되고 있는 고품질의 주조를 위해, 비교적 간단한 개선 방안으로 용탕 주입 방법의 개선이 실험적으로 시도 되었으며, 그로 인해 많은 경우에 긍정적인 결과가 관찰 되었다. 특히, 냉가압 다이캐스트에서, 금형내 용탕의 예충전을 유도하는 용탕 주입의 속도 및 플렌저의 위치제어를 통해 기공율의 저하 및 그로 인한 기계적 강도의 개선 효과를 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 논문은, 그 원인과 결과 대한 연구를 위해, 상용 해석 도구인 Flow3D를 이용, 금형내 용탕의 흐름을 모델링을 통해 가시화하여 용탕의 주입속도 및 위치의 변화가 주물의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 용탕 주입을 위한 플런저의 속도 및 위치 제어의 변수로, 1) 금형내에 용탕의 예충전 유도를 위한 용탕 고속 주입 지연 정도, 2) 플런저의 저속운행에서 고속으로의 가속도, 3) 용탕의 예충전 동안의 플런저 속도를 선택, 그로 인한 영향을 연구 분석 하였고, 그 결과로 플런저의 속도 및 위치 조절을 통하여 금형내 갇힌 공기의 양이 줄어 들 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Whole-cell immobilization of the hydrocarbon rich microalgae, Botryococcus braunii and B. protuberans, in alginate beads under air-lift batch cultures resulted in a significant increase in chlorophyll, carotenoid, dry weight, and 1ipid contents at stationary and resting growth phases, as compared to free cells. Photosynthetic activity in both the species, of Botryococcus was enhanced, relative to free cells, at any growth phase of cultures. Immobilization exerted a protective influence on ageing of the cultures as reflected by higher chlorophyll and dry weight contents. Entrapment also stabilized the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents even at stationary and resting phases as compared to free cells in both the species.

The characteristics of thixoforming process can decrease liquid segregation because of the improvement in fluidity in a globular microstructure state and utilizes flow without an air entrapment. Therefore, in order to obtain the sound parts of metal matrix composites by using thixoforming process which has co-existing solidus-liquidus phase, it is very important to design a die shape property and to obtain the fabrication conditions which affect the unifomity of the solid fraction on unfilling state and various defects throughout the fabricated parts. The die designs and fabrication conditions to obtain the good piston part are proposed for thixoforging process of metal matrix composites. When reheated metal matrix composites billets were transferred to the closed die gate, thixoforging were carried out under the various pressure(60, 80, 100MPa) with controled forging speed. The mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength for thixoforged parts have been investigated after T6 heat treatment.

The entrapment of intracranial air from the check valve system results in a tension pneumocephalus. It should be distinguished from simple pneumocephalus because they are intracranial space-occupying masses that can threaten life. Communicating hydrocephalus is a serious and frequent complication of post-traumatic head injury. Head injury is one of the most common causes in etiopathogenesis of communicating hydrocephalus. Here, we describe a case of a 65-year-old man who developed communicating hydrocephalus after a post-traumatic tension pneumocephalus. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of communicating hydrocephalus developed after a post-traumatic tension pneumocephalus. Although the exact pathogenic mechanisms underlying the cascade following trauma remain unclear, communicating hydrocephalus after a tension pneumocephalus could be considered a possible complication.
