The weld scallop has been used for joining T-bars. There are a lot of weld scallops in shipbuilding. It is difficult to perform scallop welding due to the inconvenient welding position. This results in many problems such as porosity, slag inclusion, etc. In this study, a new method is devised to remove weld scallops by incorporating a Ceramic Backing Material (CBM). The weld scallop is removed by an elongation of the v groove. In order to insert a CBM into the groove without a weld scallop, a wedge-shaped CBM is developed. The top side of the developed CBM is similar to the shape of a general back bead. The bottom surface has a saw-toothed shape for cutting at a suitable length. This can be attached to the root side of a face plate using adhesive tape, just like a general CBM. Welding experiments in normal and abnormal conditions are carried out and the possibility of burn-through is examined. This CBM's applicability to shipbuilding is verified.

탄소 한외여과막 및 광촉매 혼성 수처리를 위해 관형 여과막 외부와 원통형 막 모듈 내부 사이 공간에 광촉매를 충전하였다. 광촉매는 PP (polypropylene) 구에 이산화티타늄 분말을 플라즈마 화학증착 공정으로 코팅한 것이다. 휴믹산과 카올린 모사용액을 대상으로 막오염을 최소화하기 위해 10분 주기로 10초 동안 물 역세척을 시행하였다. 기존 결과와 동일하게 휴믹산을 10 mg/L부터 2 mg/L로 변화시킴에 따라, 막오염에 의한 저항($R_f$)이 감소하여 2 mg/L에서 최대 총여과부피 ($V_T$)를 얻었다. 탁도와 휴믹산의 처리효율은 각각 98.9%와 88.7% 이상이었다. UF 및 UF + $TiO_2$, UF + $TiO_2$ + UV 공정의 처리 분율 결과, 광촉매 흡착과 광산화에 의해 탁도는 거의 처리되지 않았으나, 광촉매 흡착 및 광산화에 의한 휴믹산 처리 분율은 각각 2.5%, 12.3%이었다. 기존 결과와 비교하면, 분리막의 재질과 기공의 크기에 따라 광촉매 흡착과 광산화에 의한 휴믹산의 처리 분율이 다르게 나타났다. 공정이 단순화될수록 180분 운전 후 막오염 저항($R_{f,180}$)은 증가하였고, 최종 투과선속($J_{180}$)은 소폭 감소하였다.

This study prepared 5 retroreflective fabrics of glass beads and colors of silver, gold and purple in order to characterize morphologies, luminance and illuminance properties. Retroreflective fabrics were prepared according to division and area by Samp.1 (Division 2, area $80cm^2$), Samp.2 (Division 2, area $60cm^2$), Samp.3(Division 3, area $60cm^2$), Samp.4 (Division 5, area $50cm^2$), and Samp.5 (Division 1, area $100cm^2$). The results of the morphologies indicate that the back side of retroreflective fabrics was the 3M-Sv, RF-Sv. The RF-Gd of the fabrics were woven fabrics and the SRF-Sv, SRF-Pp was knitting. The largest glass bead size was 3M-Sv and the smallest was SRF-Pp. RF-Sv was the thinnest and SRF-Sv, SRF-Pp were the thickest. The results of luminance properties indicated a tendency to decrease slightly as the number of divisions and area increased, except for Samp.2 to Samp.3. The result of illuminance properties tend to increase as the number of LED becomes greater than the number of divisions in the same area; in addition, the higher the luminance as a whole increases. The results show that it is preferable to use a silver-colored RF-Sv which has the highest luminance and physical properties when a retroreflective fabric is applied to clothes.

This paper presents an on-line quality monitoring and control method to obtain a uniform weld quality in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) processes. The geometrical parameters of the weld pool such as the top bead width and the penetration depth plus half back width are utilized to assess the integrity of the weld quality. Since a good quality weld is characterized by a relatively high depth-to-width ratio in its dimensions, the second geometrical parameter is regulated to a desired one. The monitoring variables are the surface temperatures measured at various points on the top surface of the weldment which are strongly related to the formation of the weld pool The relationship between the measured temperatures and the weld pool size is implemented on the multilayer perceptrons which are powerful for realization of complex mapping characteristics through training by samples. For on-line quality monitoring and control, it is prerequisite to estimate the weld pool sizes in the region of transient states. For this purpose, the time history of the surface temperatures is used as the input to the neural estimator. The control purpose is to obtain a uniform weld quality. In this research, the weld pool size is directly regulated to a desired one. The proposed controller is composed of a neural pool size estimator, a neural feedforward controller and a conventional feedback controller. The pool size estimator predicts the weld pool size under growing. The feedforward controller compensates for the nonlinear characteristics of the welding process. A series of simulation studies shows that the proposed control method improves the overall system response in the presence of changes in torch travel speed during GMA welding and guarantees the uniform weld quality.

The curved blocks which compose the bow and stem of a ship contain many skewed joints that are inclined horizontally and vertically. Most of these joints have a large fitness error and are continuously changing their form and are not easily accessible. The welding position and parameter values should be appropriately set in correspondence to the shape and the inclination of the joints. The welding parameters such as current, voltage, travel speed, and melting rate, are related to each other and their values must be in a specific limited range for the sound welding. These correlations and the ranges are dependent up on the kind and size of wire, shielding gas, joint shape and fitness. To determine these relationships, extensive welding experiments were performed. The experimental data were processed using several information processing technologies. The regression method was used to determine the relationship between current voltage, and deposition rate. When a joint is inclined, the weld bead should be confined to a the limited size, inorder to avoid undercut as well as overlap due to flowing down of molten metal by gravity. The dependency of the limited weld size which is defined as the critical deposited area on various factors such as the horizontally and vertically inclined angle of the joint, skewed angle of the joint, up or down welding direction and weaving was investigated through a number of welding experiments. On the basis of this result, an ANN system was developed to estimate the critical deposited area. The ANN system consists of a 4 layer structure and uses an error back propagation learning algorithm. The estimated values of the ANN were validated using experimental values.

산업현장에서는 파이프 또는 탱크류의 1GR용접에서 안정적인 이면비드를 가지는 루트패스 용접을 위해 2~3mm의 루트갭을 띄우고 용접봉 또는 필러와이어를 사용하는 TIG용접을 주로 한다. TIG용접은 고품질의 이면비드가 얻어지며, 용접인자의 제어가 쉽다는 장점이 있어 루트패스 용접에 많이 사용되고 있지만, 루트갭을 띄우면 이면비드는 잘 얻어지지만 용착금속량이 많아지게 되어 제작원가가 상승되고, 또한 소모성 와이어를 사용하는 GMAW에 비해 생산성이 낮다. 따라서, 안정적인 이면비드를 가지면서 생산성이 높은 1GR GMAW 루트패스 용접공정의 개발이 요구되지만, 이 경우도 루트갭이 2~3mm로 정해져 있으면 Fit-up공정에서 공수가 많이 필요하므로 근본적으로 루트갭이 없는 그루브에 대한 루트패스 용접이 더 바람직하다. 본 연구에서는 루트면 2.7mm를 가지는 U-그루브의 갭 없는 루트패스 용접에서 안정적인 이면비드가 형성되는 조건을 검토하기 위해 2.7t의 평판에 대하여 경사상진 각을 주고 기초 실험 후, U-그루브 맞대기 용접 실험을 진행하였다. 이 때, 경사상진 각은 용융금속이 중력으로 인해 아크 후방으로 밀리게 되고, 그로 인해 아크가 모재에 직접 닿게 되어 용입이 더 깊게되므로, 이면비드의 형성에 더 유리하다. 두께 2.7t의 연강 시편 2개를 갭 없는 I-그루브 맞대기 이음에서 Ǿ1.2 연강 솔리드 와이어를 사용하여 GMAW용접을 실시하였고, 용접전류, 용접속도, 경사상진 각, 위빙 폭, 위빙 주파수를 변경하여 각 조건에 대한 이면비드를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 경사상진 각 $25^{\circ}$, 전류 200A, 위빙폭 3mm, 위빙주파수 3Hz의 조건에서 안정적인 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 현장에서 Fit-up중 발생할 수 있는 루트갭의 문제에 대하여 루트갭 1.2mm의 I-그루브 맞대기 용접에서 경사상진 각, 위빙 폭, 위빙 주파수는 갭 없이 실시한 실험에서 얻어진 가장 안정적인 결과를 사용하였고, 용접 전류, 용접 속도를 변경하여 이면비드를 관찰하였다, 그 결과 갭이 없을 때보다 약 80A 낮은 전류 조건인 120A에서 안정적인 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다. 앞선 실험들을 기초로 하여 U-그루브 맞대기 용접을 실시 하였고, I-그루브 맞대기 용접에서 사용한 조건들과 유사한 용접 전류, 용접 속도에서 안정적인 이면비드를 얻을 수 있었다.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial immune-mediated disease, the pathogenesis of which involves different cell types. T-cell activation plays an important role in RA. Therefore, inhibiting T-cell activation is one of the current therapeutic strategies. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-immunoglobulin (CTLA4-Ig), also known as abatacept, reduces cytokine secretion by inhibiting T-cell activation. To achieve a homeostatic therapeutic effect, CTLA4-Ig has to be administered repeatedly over several weeks, which limits its applicability in RA treatment. To overcome this limitation, we increased the number of sialic acid-capped antennas by genetically engineering the CTLA4 region to increase the therapeutic effect of CTLA4-Ig. N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT) and α2,6-sialyltransferase (α2,6-ST) were co-overexpressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to generate a highly sialylated CTLA4-Ig fusion protein, named ST6. The therapeutic and immunogenic effects of ST6 and CTLA4-Ig were compared. ST6 dose-dependently decreased paw edema in a mouse model of collagen-induced arthritis and reduced cytokine levels in a co-culture cell assay in a similar manner to CTLA4-Ig. ST6- and CTLA4-Ig-induced T cell-derived cytokines were examined in CD4 T cells isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells after cell killing through irradiation followed by flow- and magnetic-bead-assisted separation. Interestingly, compared to CTLA4-Ig, ST6 was substantially less immunogenic and more stable and durable. Our data suggest that ST6 can serve as a novel, less immunogenic therapeutic strategy for patients with RA.
