In this paper, the broadband frequency double down-converter based on LC filter technologies has been designed and implemented, and its performances are introduced. The Designed frequency double down-converter is consisted with a low-noise amplifier, mixer, IF amplifier, LC filter, DC-block capacitor and RF-bypass capacitor. Especially, instead of active devices of a typical converter, the suggested converter designed using passive devices to provide both low-power consumption and low-cost model. As results of the measurement, the implemented frequency double down-converter realizes the broadband performance with the bandwidth of 100MHz (13~113MHz) at the center frequency of 63MHz, and its gain is approximately 40dB.

Top-Down Construction Method has been considered as the steadiest and the most reasonable method of construction since 1984 when it was applied to LG Da-Dong building and its usage in the field construction has since grown rapidly. With increased cases, engineers not only pursue their studies of R & D continuously but also develop various technical methods based on Top-Down Construction in an era of rapid technological change to adopt them to the field construction. Top-Down Construction meets the needs of these challenging points, such as reduction and eliminates of temporary equipment for supporting permanent structures on the ground, improved method of construction, shortening construction periods, cost reduction, and allows for minimal environmental impact.

Most construction project managers should focus on the reasonable cost-down with same quality and function-enhancement with same cost for the value-added construction project delivery in construction industry. Especially, a building structure construction is one of the most important processes to affect the total cost and schedule in building construction project. It means that the process has the possibility of project cost-down or quality-enhancement among the whole project life-cycle. This research focuses on the importance of underground structure of building project by increasing underground use ratio in the urban building construction projects nowadays. This research adopts VE method for the improvement of cost and time by process and analysis dimension modeling on the underground building structure construction, and verifies it throughout the case study, This research is the basic study on the improvement of underground building works through the value engineering method in construction industry.

This paper has been studied the ballast for multiple lamps. Many fluorescent lamps are demanded in where industrial buildings and public buildings. Using the proposed ballast for multiple lamps, we can decrease the cost and the space for installing. Also in the paper, the protection circuit is introduced for over voltage and current. The general problem of the ballast for multiple lamps is to shut down the ballast circuit in the ease of one abnormal lamp. But the proposed method is not shut down all the circuit even if one lamp is in an abnormal condition.

The physics theory applied to the elliptical health trainers can be a good example in engineering education. From the point of view of the physics education the measurement of mechanical and thermal energy expenditure in elliptical trainers can be related to the muscle activity, quantity of motion, and metabolic cost. We realized that the low speed training is effective for high basal metabolism due to increasing the muscle activity even if the high speed training is effective for training down. Elliptical Trainer may provide an effective oxygen exhaustion and thus effective training down. However, the metabolic cost does not have much relation to the amount of training under the high speed of trainer.

Maintenance activities are regarded as a key part of the repairable deteriorating system because they maintain the equipment in good condition. In practice, many maintenance policies are used in engineering fields to reduce unexpected failures and slow down the deterioration of the system. However, in traditional maintenance policies, maintenance activities have often been assumed to be performed at the same time interval, which may result in higher operational costs and more system failures. Thus, this study presents two non-periodic preventive maintenance (PM) policies for repairable deteriorating systems, employing the failure rate of the system as a conditional variable. In the proposed PM models, the failure rate of the system was restored via the failure rate reduction factors after imperfect PM activities. Operational costs were also considered, which increased along with the operating time of the system and the frequency of PM activities to reflect the deterioration process of the system. A numerical example was provided to illustrate the proposed PM policy. The results showed that PM activities performed at a low failure rate threshold slowed down the degradation of the system and thus extended the system lifetime. Moreover, when the operational cost was considered in the proposed maintenance scheme, the system replacement was more cost-effective than frequent PM activities in the severely degraded system.

The annual power cost for Seoul metro operations is about 65.5 billion won, of which rail motors account for 60% among total power consumptions. It is expected that the power consumption would increase because of global warming, future high electric equipments demands, etc. To reduce these consumptions, it is necessary to analyze the transportation demands of passengers, arrange the power-saving driving environments, respond flexible vehicles service, and improve how to drive vehicles. These method to reduce power consumption for rail motors can lead to improve the Seoul metro management. In this research, the improvement plan is derived by collecting and analyzing the data for total 33 power consumptions factors, screening top 10 factors by priority and impact, establishing each hypothesis to execute correlation and recursion analyses. As a result of 4 items research among top 10 affected factors, the power consumption for rail motors in 2006 is effectively reduced; the power usage is down with 13,870 kwh, from 531,539 kwh to 517,669 kwh, and the cost is down with 1,026 million won, from 39, 334 million won to 38,308 million won.

Double wall corrugated paperboard box are almost used for package of agricultural and fishery products in Korea. Flaps of the double wall corrugated paperboard box are consist of the three linerboard and two corrugating medium. But these flaps which are not affected to the compression strength for storage and distribution results in the reasonable cost-up of the packed box. Compared the strengths and economical evaluations between double wall and single wall corrugated paperboard box results as follows. Compression strength of single wall box is higher 49.3% to 98.0% than that of the double wall corrugated paperboard box and its cost are down 5% to 8%. Effect of the cost down on the saving materials of flap and corrugating medium is 13.9%.

Now days, the marketing environment is rapidly changed. Therefore, a lot of companies try to reduce production cost. Especially, Design is a important activities in new product development. While the concepts of design for manufacturable and concurrent engineering have made significant advances in integrating the design function with other areas in the firm. There are still major gaps in timely and accurate costing information available to designers. Inappropriate design could result in high redesign cost and delay in product relation. The generation of design and improvement is a time-consuming and mentally exhaustion process. It involves combining design features to generate as many potential design as possible. As not all features combinations are feasible, decision-makers have to narrow down the potential solutions and subsequently select appropriate design for further development. This new study is composed of 3 steps aiming at the Low Cost Design of the product. The three steps are consisted that setting up the target Cost, estimating the current functional cost, the design of a unit's reviewing according to the priority of the difference between the target cost and the functional cost.
