원자로에 장전되는 $^{99}Mo$ 조사표적을 제조하기 위한 우라늄박판은, 박판 품질, 생산성, 경제성 문제로 인해, 기존의 열간압연방법에 의해 실험실 규모로는 제조가 가능하나, 상용 규모로는 제조되기 어려운 실정이므로, 새로운 제조방법의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이와 같은 상황에서, $^{99m}Tc$의 모핵종인 방사선 동위원소$^{99}Mo$ 생산하기 위하여 planar flow casting (PFC) 법에 의해 다결정질 우라늄박판에 대한 새로운 제조방법이 연구되었다. $100{\sim}150\;{\mu}m$의 두께 및 너비 약 50mm의 연속적인 다결정질 우라늄박판이 하나의 batch에서 5m 이상의 길이로 제조되었다. 우라늄박판은 불순물이 거의 없었으며 양호한 표면조도를 가지고 있었다. 우라늄박판의 냉각를 접촉표면은 자유표면 보다 매끈한 자유표면을 가지고 있었다. 우라늄박판은 제조공정변수와는 상관없이 ${\alpha}-U$ 상을 가진 약 10 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 미세한 다결정립을 가지고 있었다.

Logistics is one of the most important factors to manage a stream of materials in economic environment. Establishing effective logistics system needs to consider some constraints which are fluctuation of materials volume, a long distance between makers and consumers, one way logistics and small quantity batch production. It is estimated that Unit Load System should be a powerful method to cope with those problems. It helps to realize the key issues which are Standardization and Logistics Pool System The Material Unification of Logistics System is able to participate in all kinds of industries including manufacturing, distribution and logistics. This system has some merits which are a long distance transportation cost down, product recovery, and treatment in the unbalance of demand and supply caused by unstable materials volume. Four strategies of Material Logistics Model are Packing Rationalization, Logistics Pool System, JIT System application and establishing effective infrastructure. The Material Unification Of Logistics System based on Unit Load System achieves efficiency of logistics and largely decreases moving cost.

A primary-side regulation AC-DC converter operating in the PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode with a high precision output current is designed, which applies a novel inductance compensation technique to improve the precision of the output current, which reduces the bad impact of the large tolerance of the transformer primary side inductance in the same batch. In this paper, the output current is regulated by the OSC charging current, which is controlled by a CC (constant current) controller. Meanwhile, for different primary inductors, the inductance compensation module adjusts the OSC charging current finely to improve the accuracy of the output current. The operation principle and design of the CC controller and the inductance compensation module are analyzed and illustrated herein. The control chip is implemented based on a TSMC 0.35μm 5V/40V BCD process, and a 12V/1.1A prototype has been built to verify the proposed control method. The deviation of the output current is within ±3% and the variation of the output current is less than 1% when the inductances of the primary windings vary by 10%.

백터 양자화기 설계는 다차원의 목적함수를 최소화하는 학습 알고리즘을 필요로 한다. 일반화된 Lloyd 방법(GLA)은 벡터 양자화기 설계를 위해 오늘날 가장 널리 사용되는 알고리즘이다. GLA 는 일괄처리(batch) 방식으로 코드북을 생성하며 목적함수를 단조 감소시키는 강하법(descent algorithm)의 일종이다. 한편 Kohonen 학습법(KLA)은 학습벡터가 입력되는 동안 코드북이 갱신되는 온라인 벡터 양자화기 설계 알고리즘 이다. KLA는 원래 신경망 학습을 위해 Kohonen에 의해 제안되었다. KLA 역시 GLA와 마찬가지로 강하법의 일종이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 이들 두 알고리즘은, 비록 사용하기 편리하고 안정적으로 동작을 하지만, 극소(local minimum) 점으로 수렴하는 문제를 안고 있다. 우리는 이 문제와 관련하여 simulated annealing(SA) 방법의 응용을 논하고자 한다. SA는 현재까지 극소에 빠지지 않고 최소(global minimum)로 수렴하면서, 해의 수렴이 (통계적으로) 보장되는 유일한 방법이라 할 수 있다. 우리는 먼저 GLA에 SA를 응용한 그 동안의 연구를 개괄한다. 다음으로 온라인 방식의 벡터 양자화가 설계에 SA 방법을 응용함으로써 SA 방법에 기초한 새로운 온라인 학습 알고리즘을 제안한다. 우리는 이 알고리즘을 OLVQ-SA 알고리즘이라 부르기로 한다. 가우스-마코프 소스와 음성데이터에 대한 벡터양자화 실험 결과 제안된 방법이 KLA 보다 일관되게 우수한 코드북을 생성함을 보인다.

The modem industry age began when the conveyer system was introduced by Ford to produce model "T". The conveyer system is designed to optimize and maximize mass production of a specific item. Nowadays, however, accommodating to individual tastes has become an important factor in selection of products. Thus, rather than the mass production of one item, producing fewer but a wide variety of goods became important. To give flexibility and elasticity to the conveyer system, a new method of transportation where it is possible to choose a specific item is necessary. Therefore mall quantity and high-volume mass production was decrescent and small quantity batch production was expanded. In this paper, we developed multiple crate stacking and picking system to give flexibility to the conveyer system. First, we verified the conceptually designed system through manufacture. Second, we solved the problems that would happen on the actual field using pneumatic system. Finally, we optimized the system through FEM technique. This system works with stability and fast speed and can improve work efficiency which would minimize the losses resulting from too much dependence on manual labor.

The present paper focuses on the synthesis, characterization and application of nanophotocatalyst for degradation of quinalphos and monocrotophos. Novel heterostructured ZnO/$TiO_2$ photocatalyst ($Z_9T$) was prepared and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM and UV-vis diffuses reflectance spectroscopy. The average crystalline size of synthesized $Z_9T$ was found to be 21.48 nm. The pesticides were degraded in the presence of nanophotocatalysts i.e., $TiO_2$, ZnO, $TiO_2$/ZnO mixed in various proportions and heterostructured nanophotocatalyst synthesized by Sol-Gel method. The batch experiments were performed by adding photocatalyst to 100 ml of pesticide solution and suspension was subjected to irradiation under UV light. In case of mixed catalyst, the maximum degradation of monocrotophos and quinalphos has been observed when ZnO and $TiO_2$ were in the ratio of 7:3 and 8:2 respectively. The degradation efficiency with synthesized heterostructured nanophotocatalyst ($Z_9T$) was found to be comparable with $TiO_2$.

Electrocoagulation (EC) technique is applied for the treatment of wastewater containing heavy metals ions such as nickle (Ni), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) by using sacrificial anodes corrode to release active coagulant flocs usually aluminium or iron cations into the solution. During electrolytic reactions hydrogen gas evolve at the cathode. All the experiments were carried out in Batch mode. The tank was filled with synthetic wastewater containing heavy metals and efficiency of electro-coagulation in combination with aluminum and iron electrodes were investigated for removal of such metals. Several parameters, such as contact time, pH, electro-coagulant concentration, and current density were optimized to achieve maximum removal efficiency (%). The concentrations of heavy metals were determined by using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). It is found that the electro-coagulation process has potential to be utilized for the cost-effective removal of heavy metals from wastewater specially using iron electrodes in terms of high removal efficiencies and operating cost.

Maximum cellulase production was sought by comparing the activities of the cellulases produced by different Trichoderma reesei strains and Aspergillus niger. Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 showed higher cellulase activity than other Trichoderma reesei stains and Aspergillus niger that was isolated from soil. By optimizing the cultivation conditions during shake flask culture, higher cellulase production could be achieved. The FP(filter paper) activity of 3.7U/ml and CMCase (Carboxymethylcellulase) activity of 60U/ml were obtained from shake flask culture. When it was grown in 2.5L fermentor, where pH and DO levels are controlled, the enzyme activities were 133.35U/ml (CMCase) and 11.67U/ml(FP), respectively. Ammonium sulfate precipitation method was used to recover enzymes from fermentation broth. The dried cellulase powder showed 3074.9U/g of CMCase activity and 166.7U/g of FP activity with 83.5% CMCase recovery.

Petroleum a vital commodity affecting every aspect of 21st century. Toxicity and adverse effects of sulphur as catalyst in petroleum products is of great concern required development of techniques for desulphurization in compliance with the International standards. Installation of desulphurizing units costs over $200 million per unit placing economic burden on developing countries like Pakistan. Present study analysis of commercial fuels (station petrol and jet fuel JP8) on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) identified sulphur concentration of 19.94 mg/L and 21.75 mg/L, respectively. This scenario urged the researcher to attempt synthesis of material that is likely to offer good adsorption capacity for sulphur. Following protocol of sol-gel method, transition metals (Ni, Cu, Zn) solution is gelated with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS; silica precursor) using glycerol. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra revealed bonding of Zn-O, Cu-O, and Ni-O by stretching vibrations at $468cm^{-1}$, $617cm^{-1}$, and $468cm^{-1}$, respectively. Thiophene and Benzothiophene mixed in n-heptane and benzene (4:1) for preparation of Model Fuels I and II, respectively. Each of silica based metal was applied as adsorbent in batch mode to assess the removal efficiency. Results demonstrated optimal desulphurization of more than 90% following efficacy order as Si-Ni > Si-Zn > Si-Cu based adsorbents. Proposed multilayered (Freundlich) adsorption mechanism follows ${\pi}$-complexation with pseudo secnd order kinetics.

Study of human-robot Interaction gets more and more attention to expand the robot application for tasks difficult by robot alone. Developed countries are preparing for a new market by introducing the concept of 'Co-Robot' model of human-robot Interaction. Our research of direct teaching is a way to instruct robot's trajectory by human's handling of its end device. This method is more intuitive than other existing methods. The benefit of this approach includes easy and fast teaching even by non-professional workers. And it can enhance utilization of robots in small and medium-sized enterprises for small quantity batch production. In this study, we developed the algorithms for creating accurate trajectory from repeated inaccurate direct teaching and GUI for the direct teaching. We also propose the basic framework for direct teaching.
