A cost-effective magnetic-coupled AC-PDP sustain driver with low switching loss is proposed. The transformer reduces current stress in the energy recovery switches which affects circuit cost and reliability. The turns-ratio can be used to adjust the sustain pulse slopes which affect gas discharge uniformity. Dividing the recovery paths prevents abrupt changes in the output capacitance and thereby switching losses of the recovery switches is reduced. In addition, the proposed circuit has a more simple structure because it does not use the recovery path diodes which also afford a large recovery current. By reducing the current stress and device count in the energy recovery circuit, the proposed driver may have decreased circuit cost and improved circuit reliability.

암반으로 구성되어 있는 급경사($65{\sim}80^{\circ}$) 암반사면들이 장기간 안정한 상태로 유지되고 있는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 이와 유사한 지반상태로 이루어진 굴착 암반사면에서 불연속구조가 비탈면의 안정성에 유리한 방향으로 분포하고 있는 경우에는 발파암 경사기준인 1 : 0.5 ($63^{\circ}$)보다 급한 경사를 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 비탈면 설계기준의 경사 결정 과정에서 급경사로 적용할 수 있는 예비 암반조건이 정량적으로 설정되어 있으면 설계 실무측면에서 지침으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 이 연구에서는 상기 암반을 양호한 연속체 암반으로 정의하고, 양호한 연속체 암반조건에 대해 공학적인 준거를 제공할 목적으로 범용적인 RMR, SMR, GSI 분류를 활용하여 정량적인 설정기준 범위를 제안하고자 하였다. 연구방법으로는 다음과 같다. 암석종류별로 급경사 $65{\sim}80^{\circ}$)에서 안정한 비탈면을 연구 대상으로 선정하고, Face mapping 결과를 반영하여 RMR과 SMR 및 GSI 분류하였다. Hoek-Brown 파괴기준을 활용하여 산정된 강도정수를 현 상태의 암반사면 안정해석에 적용하여 나타난 결과를 검토하였다. 급경사로 안정하게 유지되는 지반조건으로서 예비기준의 타당성을 검증하기 위한 것이다. 상기 연구방법으로 분석 검토한 결과, 양호한 연속체 암반비탈면은 Basic RMR ${\geq}50$ (퇴적암에서는 45), GSI SMR ${\geq}45$로 설정할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다. 한계평형 해석의 안전율은 Fs = 14.08~67.50 (평균 32.9)이고, 유한요소해석의 변위는 0.13~0.64 mm (평균 0.27 mm)이다. 이는 급경사($65{\sim}80^{\circ}$)로 오랜 기간 동안 안정하게 유지되고 있는 양호한 연속체 암반사면의 안정성을 정량적으로 표현하고 확인하는 결과로 볼 수 있다. 양호한 연속체 암반사면에 대한 암반기준 설정범위는 자료가 축적되면 좀 더 세부적인 설정기준을 확립할 수 있을 것이고 추후 연구과제이기도 하다. 1 : 0.1~0.3의 급경사에서도 안정할 경우에, 해외 설계기준 및 사례를 참고하여 급경사의 상한 기준을 1 : 0.3으로 설계하면 경제성과 친환경성을 확보하는 이점이 있게 된다. 또한 굴착기술과 식생기술 발달 및 다양한 친환경적 사면 설계기법으로 급경사에 따른 심리적 불안감과 급격한 지반이완을 극복할 수 있을 것이다.

Calculation of seismic displacements in reinforced slopes plays a crucial role in appropriate design of these structures however current analytical methods result indifferent values for permanent displacements of the slope. In this paper, based on limit equilibrium and using the horizontal slices method, a new formulation has been proposed for estimating the seismic displacements of a reinforced slope under earthquake records. In this method, failure wedge is divided into a number of horizontal slices. Assuming linear variations for tensile forces of reinforcements along the height of the slope, the coefficient of yield acceleration has been estimated. The simplicity of calculations and taking into account the frequency content of input triggers are among the advantages of the present formulation. Comparison of the results shows that the yield acceleration calculated by the suggested method is very close to the values resulted from other techniques. On the other hand, while there is a significant difference between permanent displacements, the values obtained from the suggested method place somehow between those calculated by the other techniques.

Lomilik Seamount in the west Pacific was seismically surveyed and photographed to illuminate the bottom topography, the condition of manganese crust, and the characteristics of sedimentary environment. Lomilik Seamount has a NW-SE elongated bottom topography with steep slopes in the NESW direction part. Even though the steep slopes of the seamount are devoid of deposits, the summit area and gentle slope of the seamount are covered with thick deposits. The seismic data indicate that Lomilik Seamount is a flat-topped and step-faulted guyot of volcanic origin. Deep-sea camera photographs show that much of the seafloor is rippled in symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns. The traces of biological activity were distinct on gentle seafloor suggesting the low-energy bottom conditions. Some photographs also show outcrops encrusted with manganese crusts. Sedimentary environments in the Lomilik Seamount appear have been governed by regional morphology and strong bottom current.

PURPOSES : This paper presents a finite element model to accurately represent the soil-post interaction of single guardrail posts in sloping ground. In this study, the maximum lateral resistance of a guardrail post has been investigated under static and dynamic loadings, with respect given to several parameters including post shape, embedment depth, ground inclination, and embedment location of the steel post. METHODS : Because current analytical methods applied to horizontal ground, including Winkler's elastic spring model and the p-y curve method, cannot be directly applied to sloping ground, it is necessary to seek an alternative 3-D finite element model. For this purpose, a 3D FHWA soil model for road-base soils, as constructed using LS-DYNA, has been adopted to estimate the dynamic behavior of single guardrail posts using the pendulum drop test. RESULTS : For a laterally loaded guardrail post near slopes under static and dynamic loadings, the maximum lateral resistance of a guardrail post has been found to be reduced by approximately 12% and 13% relative to the static analysis and pendulum testing, respectively, due to the effects of ground inclination. CONCLUSIONS : It is expected that the proposed soil material model can be applied to guardrail systems installed near slopes.

Facing the current hikes of labor wage and high oil price, it is needed to have energy-saving machinery which also enables us precise farm operations. Thus, it was necessary to develop a safe machine which allows secure and pleasant works along orchard slopes. In this study, a lifting utility with balance-controlled platform was developed. The platform utility could maintain to level the workbench while driving along slopes. Even the machine body was driven at the tilt angle ranges of ${\pm}20^{\circ}$, the platform bench could be maintained within ${\pm}0.5^{\circ}$ of a gimbal angle. In addition, the machine lifted up to 2.0 m using an electric-hybrid driving mechanism with a low noise. A tandem hybrid power source was developed with a DC 72 V, 100 AH for the Deep-Cycle batteries, charged with 3.5 kW gasoline generator as an auxiliary power source. HST, which is one of the CVT's, was adopted as a transmission device, and a crawer track was used for the safety of the vehicle against tip-over. The maximum lifting height of platform was is 2,500 mm, and the maximum extendable width was 2,900 mm.

본 연구에서는 Brushless DC Motor의 전환구간에서 토크리플 저감을 위한 전류제어 기법을 제안하였다. 전환구간에서 토크리플은 증가하는 전류의 변화율과 감소하는 전류의 변화율이 같지 않음에 주원인이 있고, 실제 역기전력의 모양에 의해서도 영향을 받는다. 이에 제안된 제어기법은 전환하는 전류들의 변화율을 같게 하는 실제 역기전력이 고려된 보상전압을 추하고, 전환구간동안에만 보상전압을 인가함으로써 토크리플을 줄이는 것이다. 시뮬레이션과 실험 결과는 제안된 방법이 토크와 전류의 리플을 현저히 줄일 수 있음을 보여준다.

A new type of electrochemical random signal (electrochemical noise) analysis technique was applied to localized corrosion of anodic oxide film formed 1100 aluminum alloy in $0.5kmol/m^3$ $H_3BO_4/0.05kmol/m^3$ $Na_2B_4O_7$ with $0.01kmol/m^3$ NaCl. The effect of anodic oxide film structure, barrier type, porous type, and composite type on galvanic corrosion resistance was also examined. Before localized corrosion started, incubation period for pitting corrosion, both current and potential slightly change as initial value with time. The incubation period of porous type anodic oxide specimens are longer than that of barrier type anodic oxide specimens. While pitting corrosion, the current and potential were changed with fluctuations and the potential and the current fluctuations show a good correlation. The records of the current and potential were processed by calculating the power spectrum density (PSD) by the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method. The potential and current PSD decrease with increasing frequency, and the slopes are steeper than or equal to minus one (-1). This technique allows observation of electrochemical impedance changes during localized corrosion.

This paper dealt with the manufacturing of binary alloy catalyst and showed simple electrochemical method for determing catalytic activity of oxygen reduction in acid or alkaline electrolyte. The catalyst was prepared by impregnating transition metal salts on platinum or silver particles adsorbed before on carbon paper substrate. The electrochemical characteristics of the catalysts was investigated with carbon paper electrode or PTFE-boned porous electrode and then cathodic current densities and tafel slopes were compared. As a result, of all binary catalysts utilized in this work, Pt-Fe, Pt-Mo showed better oxygen reduction activity than pure platinum catalyst in acid electrolyte and Ag-Fe, Ag-Pt, and Ag-Ni-Bi-Ti catalyst did than pure silver catalyst in alkaline electrolyte. The current density of Pt-Fe electrode in acid electrolyte was one and half times higher than that of Pt electrode(~500mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.7VvsNHE).
