Many car manufacturers have frequently adopted an aggressive inflator and a lower threshold speed for airbag deployment in order to meet an injury requirement for unbolted occupant at high speed crash test. Consequently, today's occupant safety restraint system has a weakness due to an airbag induced injury at low speed crash event. This paper proposes a new crash algorithm to improve the weakness by suppressing airbag deployment at low speed crash event in case of belted condition. The proposed algorithm consists of two major blocks-crash severity algorithm and deployment logic block. The first block decides crash severity with two levels by means of velocity and crash energy calculation from acceleration signal. The second block implemented by simple AND/OR logic combines the crash severity level and seat belt status information to generate firing commands for airbag and belt pretensioner. Furthermore, it can be extended to adopt additional sensor information from passenger presence detection sensor and safing sensor. A simulation using real crash data for a 1,800cc passenger vehicle has been conducted to verify the performance of proposed algorithm.

Recently, the researches for air pollutant control technologies have been performing in Korea, while considering an one of the latest main topics as problems on air pollutant control. However, it is difficult to investigate emission amount of air pollutant by passenger cars, because of lack of the domestic information about mobile source; the number of research institutes are less in the whole. Especially, the informations on registered numbers and emissions of motorcycles are less. Thus, in this study, the analysis that is based on experimental results was conducted for finding out source profiling and emission characteristics on motorcycles exhaust. For these experiments, the domestic motorcycles were chosen and evaluated by EURO III standard. From the result, controlled pollutants (CO, HC, NOx) were met to EURO III, but low displacement motorcycles showed a higher incomplete combustion reaction than that of 250 cc motorcycles. Additionally, uncontrolled pollutants (BTEX and 1,3-butadiene) were decreased with increasing a displacement of motorcycles. However, the emission trend of aldehydes was not followed that of those; the formaldehyde ratio increased upto approximately 33%, with increasing a displacement of motorcycles. In the future, it would be used to support the CAPSS as basic data of Korea.

To find the relationship between solar flares and halo CMEs using stereoscopic observations, we investigate 182 flare-associated halo CMEs among 306 front-side halo CMEs from 2009 to 2013. We have determined the 3D parameters (radial speed and angular width) of these CMEs by applying StereoCAT to multi-spacecraft data (SOHO and STEREO). For this work, we use flare parameters (peak flux and fluence) taken from GOES X-ray flare list and 2D CME parameters (projected speed, apparent angular width, and kinetic energy) taken from CDAW SOHO LASCO CME catalog. Major results from this study are as follows. First, the relationship between flare peak flux (or fluence) and CME speed is almost same for both 2D and 3D cases. Second, there is a possible correlation between flare fluence and CME width, which is more evident in 3D case than 2D one. Third, the flare fluence is well correlated with CME kinetic energy (CC=0.63). Fourth, there is an upper limit of CME kinetic energy for a given flare fluence (or peak flux). For example, a possible CME kinetic energy ranges from 1030.6 to 1033 erg for a given X1.0 class flare. Our results will be discussed in view of the physical mechanism of solar eruptions.

Purpose: In performing breast reconstruction, making symmetrical breast is still a challenge. A precise estimate of the volume of the breast specimen is necessary to reconstruct a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing breast. This study aims at finding out the relationship with breast tissue density and body mass index designed to apply for breast reconstruction. Methods: By using the Archimedes' principle, the authors calculated the volume of the breast specimen and drew a correlation between the density of breast specimen and BMI. From October 2002 to November 2004, this method was used on 197 patients to predict breast volume for TRAM flap reconstruction. Results: The mean density was 0.9954g/cc and had no correlation with BMI (p-value=0.069). There was no difference between denstiy of breast tissue after skin spared mastectomy and that of breast tissue after nipple spared mastectomy. Conclusion: These data will be helpful to predict the needed volume for breast reconstruction.

In this paper we examine the effects of the required portions of guard timing spaces in a MAC frame of ETSI BRAN HIPERLAN/2 system such as inter-mobile guard timing space in UL(Up Link) duration, inter-RCH(Random CHannel) guard timing space, sector switch guard timing space. In particular, we calculate the number of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols required for these guard timing spaces in a MAC frame. We them evaluate the throughput of HIPERLAN/2 system as we vary parameter such as the guard time values defined in [2], the number of DLCCs(Data Link Control Connections), and the number of RCHs. Finally we show by numerical results that the portions for the 새심 summation of required guard timing spaces in a MAC frame are not negligible, and that they should be properly considered when trying to evaluate the performance of MAC protocol of HIPERLAN/2 system and also when determining the number of RCHs as well as the number of DLCCs in UL PDU trains at an AP/CC(Access Point/Central Controller).

가뭄은 홍수와 더불어 매우 심각한 자연재해이며, 그 특성상 광역적이고 장기간 발생함에 따라 구체적인 발생시점, 규모, 범위 등을 규명하기가 어렵다. 다만, 적시에 경보해야 하는 홍수와 달리 진행속도가 느리고 시간적으로 대처할 여유가 있어 진행중 일지라도 초기에 감지한다면 그 피해를 최소화할 수 있다. 미국 등 수문기상 선진국에서는 수문기상 장기예보자료를 활용한 가뭄전망정보 생산 및 제공하고 있으며, 활용성을 검증한바 있다. 국내의 경우 기상청에서는 대기-해양-해빙 모델을 접합한 GloSea5 (Global Seasonal forecasting system version 5) 모델을 도입하였으며, 가뭄예보를 목적으로 장기예보자료 기반의 가뭄전망정보 생산체계를 구축한 바 있다(기상청, 2012; 손경환 등, 2015). 본 연구에서는 장기예보자료 기반의 수문기상 전망정보를 이용하여 2014-15년 가뭄사례에 대한 가뭄감시 및 전망정보를 생산 및 평가하였다. 수문기상전망 정보는 기상청 현업예보 모델인 GloSea5와 지면모델을 이용하여 생산하였으며, 관측자료와 수문전망정보 기반의 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 매스컴 및 언론 보도 자료부터 2014-15년 가뭄에 대한 행정구역별 피해사례를 수집하였으며, 이를 기반으로 시계열, 지역별 및 통계적(CC, RMSE) 분석을 이용하여 선행시간별 정확도를 평가하였다. 1개월 및 2개월 전망정보의 정확도가 높음을 확인하였으며, 가뭄심도가 심각한 시기의 가뭄상황을 적절히 재현하는 것으로 나타났다.

Given an object, its positioning in the space is a main concern in structural monitoring and a required feedback in structural health monitoring, structural control and robotics. In addition, to make the sensor unit wireless is a crucial issue for advanced applications. This paper deals with the exploitation of wireless transmission technology to long-term monitoring GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers - like the Leica GMX 902 and the Leica GRX 1200-pro. These GPS receivers consist of five parts: antenna, receiver, user client computer, interface and power supply. The antenna is mounted on the object to be monitored and is connected with the receiver by a coaxial-cable through which the radio frequency signals are transmitted. The receiver unit acquires, tracks and demodulates the satellite signals and provides, through an interface which in this paper is made wireless, the resulting GPS raw data to the user client computer for being further processed by a suitable positioning algorithm. The power supply reaches the computer by a wired link, while the other modules rely on batteries re-charged by power harvesting devices. Two wireless transmission systems, the 24XStream and the CC1110, are applied to replace the cable transmission between the receiver and the user client computer which up to now was the only market offer. To verify the performance and the reliability of this wireless transmission system, some experiments are conducted. The results show a successful cable replacement.

With increasing the mont of processed information over the network, the importance of database system increases rapidly. There are two types of security system for database, access control and data encryption. However, it is hard to evaluate security of database systems using the Common Criteria(CC) as there is no protection profile(PP) for these systems. In this paper, we propose a protection profile for secure database systems which can be used in formal evaluation using the Common Criteria. The proposed protection profile can be used by both developer and consumer to evaluate security of database systems.

This study investigated and predicted the Marshall stability of glass-fiber asphalt mix, carbon-fiber asphalt mix and glass-carbon-fiber asphalt (hybrid) mix by using machine learning techniques such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Random Forest(RF), The data was obtained from the experiments and the research articles. Assessment of results indicated that performance of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based model outperformed applied models in training and testing datasets with values of indices as; coefficient of correlation (CC) 0.8492 and 0.8234, mean absolute error (MAE) 2.0999 and 2.5408, root mean squared error (RMSE) 2.8541 and 3.3165, relative absolute error (RAE) 48.16% and 54.05%, relative squared error (RRSE) 53.14% and 57.39%, Willmott's index (WI) 0.7490 and 0.7011, Scattering index (SI) 0.4134 and 0.3702 and BIAS 0.3020 and 0.4300 for both training and testing stages respectively. The Taylor diagram also confirms that the ANN-based model outperforms the other models. Results of sensitivity analysis show that Carbon fiber has a major influence in predicting the Marshall stability. However, the carbon fiber (CF) followed by glass-carbon fiber (50GF:50CF) and the optimal combination CF + (50GF:50CF) are found to be most sensitive in predicting the Marshall stability of fibrous asphalt concrete.
