Calibration of load-resistance factors for the limit state design of perforated caisson breakwaters are presented. Reliability analysis of 12 breakwaters in nationwide ports was conducted. Then, partial safety factors and load-resistance factors were sequentially calculated according to target reliability index. Load resistance factors were optimized to give one set of factor for limit state design of breakwater. The breakwaters were redesigned by using the optimal load resistance factor and verified whether reliability indices larger than the target value. Finally, some load-resistance factors were proposed by changing target reliability index.

This paper presents an enhanced method of slit beam projection intended for the rapid measurement of 3-dimensional surface profiles of dies and molds. Special emphasis is given to optimizing the design of optical system so that the measuring accuracy can be maximized by adopting two-plane camera calibration together with sub-pixel image processing techniques. Finally, several measurement examples are discussed to demonstrate that an actual measuring accuracy of $\pm$ 0.2 mm can be achieved over the measuring range of 500 mm{\times}300mm{\times}200mm$.

Korea Gas Corporation(KOGAS) have constructed a gas flowmeters' calibration facilities at Jungdong Bucheon. The facilities consisting of 6 reference turbine meters can perform calibrations of large capacity natural gas flowmeters up to $9,600 m^3/h$ at 95 kPa. This large capacity and high pressure natural gas facilities is traceable to the national standard of gas flow rate (KRISS). In this article the motive of construction and description of design are summarized.

In the sheet metal forming operations, the strain measurement of sheet panel is an essential work which provides the formability information needed in die design, process design, and product inspection. To measure efficiently complex geometry strains, the 3-dimensional automative strain measurement system, which theoretically has a high accuracy but practically has about 3～5％ strain error, is often used. For eliminating the strain error resulted in measuring the strains of formed panels using an automated strain measurement system, the position error calibration method is suggested, which computes accurate strains using the grids with accurate nodal coordinates. The accurate nodal coordinates are calculated by adding the nodal coordinates measured by the measurement system and the position error found using the multiple regression method as a function of the main error parameters obtained from the analysis of strain error in a standard cube. For the verification, the strain distributions of square and dome cups obtained from the position error calibration method are compared with those provided by the finite element analysis and ASAME.

We designed a silicon pressure sensor interface circuit with digital calibration capability. The interface circuit is composed of an analog section and a digital section. The analog section amplifies the weak signal from the sensor and the digital section handles the calibration function and communication function between the chip and outside microcontroller that controls the calibration. The digital section is composed of I2C serial interface, memory, trimming register and controller. The I2C serial interface is optimized to suit the need of on-chip silicon microsensor in terms of number of IO pins and silicon area. The major part of the design is to build a controller circuit that implements the optimized I2C protocol. The designed chip was fabricated through IDEC's MPW. We also made a test board and the test result showed that the chip performs the digital calibration function very well as expected.

Multi-Spectral Camera(MSC) is a payload on the KOMPSAT -2 satellite to perform the earth remote sensing. The instrument images the earth using a push-broom motion with a swath width of 15 km and a ground sample distance (GSD) of 1 m over the entire field of view (FOV) at altitude 685 Km. The instrument is designed to have an on-orbit operation duty cycle of $20\%$ over the mission lifetime of 3 years with the functions of programmable gain! offset and onboard image data compression/storage. MSC instrument has one(1) channel for panchromatic Imaging and four(4) channel for multi-spectral Imaging covering the spectral range from 450nm to 900nm using TDI CCD Focal Plane Array (FPA). In this paper, the configuration, the interface of MSC hardware and the MSC operation concept are described. And the method of the MSC calibration are described and the design of MSC calibration operation to measure the change of MSC after Launch & Early Operation(LEOP) and normal mission operations are discussed and analyzed.

The sampling design for the spatial population studies needs a model assumption of a dependent relationship, where the interesting parameters can be the population mean, proportion and area. We know that the study of an interested spatial population, which is stratified by a geographical condition or shape, and the degree of distort of an estimation area is much useful. In light of this, if auxiliary information of the target variable such as wasted area contaminated by some material and the degree of distribution of animal or plants is available, then the spatial estimator might be improved through the calibration procedure. In this research, we propose the calibration procedure for the spatial stratified sampling in which we consider the one and two-dimensional auxiliary information.

Metamorphic HEMTs (MHEMTs) have emerged as excellent challenges for the design and fabrication of high-speed HEMTs for millimeter-wave applications. Some of improvements result from improved mobility and larger conduction band discontinuity in the channel, leading to more efficient modulation doping, better confinement, and better device performance compared with pseudomorphic HEMTs. We have studied the calibration on the DC and RF characteristics of the MHEMT device using I $n_{0.53}$G $a_{0.47}$As/I $n_{0.52}$A1$_{0.48}$As modulation-doped heterostructure on the GaAs wafer. For the optimized device performance simulation, we calibrated the device performance of 0.1-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ $\Gamma$-gate MHEMT fabricated in our research center using the 2D ISE-DESSIS device simulator. With this calibrated parameter set, we have obtained very good reproducibility. The device simulation on the DC and RF characteristics exhibits good reproducibility for our 0.1-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ -gate MHEMT device compared with the measurements. We expect that our calibration result can help design over-100-GHz MHEMT devices for better device performance.ormance.

Multi-axis magnetic and accelerometer sensor are widely used in consumer product such as smart phones. The vector output of multi-axis sensors have errors on each axis such as offset error, scale error, non-orthogonality. These errors cause many problems on the performance of the applications. In this paper, we designed the effective inline compensation algorithm for calibrating of 3 axis sensors using ellipsoid for mass production of multi-axis sensors. The outputs with those kinds of errors can be modeled by ellipsoid, and the proposed algorithm makes sequential mappings of the virtual ellipsoid to perfect sphere which is calibrated function of the sensor on three-dimensional space. The proposed calibrating process composed of four main stages and is very straightforward and effective. In addition, another imperfection of the sensor such as the drift from temperature can be easily inserted in each mapping stage. Numerical simulation and experimental results shows great performance of the proposed compensation algorithm.

The exact load measurements for the mechanical parts of a wind turbine are important step both fur the evaluation of a specific wind turbine design and for a certification process. A common method for a mechanical load measurement is using a strain gauge sensing. Two main problems ought to be answered in order for this method to be applied to the wind turbine project. These are strain gauge calibration and non-contact signal transmission from the strain gauge output to a load monitoring system. This paper suggests reliable solutions fer these two problems. A Bluetooth, a short range wireless data communication technology, is used to solve the second problem. The first one, the strain gauge calibration methodology for a load measurement in a wind turbine application, is fully explained in this paper. Various mechanical loadings for a strain gauge calibration in a wind turbine load measurement are introduced and analyzed. Initial experimental results which are obtained from a 1 kW small size wind turbine are analyzed, and the uncertainty problem in estimating mechanical loads using a calibration matrix is fully covered in this paper.
