화석연료의 고갈과 환경문제의 대안으로 수소에너지가 부각되고 있으며, 자동차 산업에서도 수소차의 보급이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 수소는 가연농도 범위가 4~75%로 넓은 가연영역을 가지고 있어 수소차 사고 시 안전에 대한 우려가 높은 실정이다. 특히, 터널이나 지하주차장과 같은 반밀폐 공간에서는 수소누출에 따른 화재나 폭발이 대형사고를 유발할 가능성이 높기 때문에 수소누출에 따른 가연영역 분석을 통해 수소 안전성에 대한 검토가 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 표준단면의 도로터널에서 수소차량의 수소 누출조건과 터널 내 풍속에 따른 수소농도 해석을 수행하여 터널 내 풍속이 가연영역에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 수소의 누출조건은 1개의 탱크와 3개의 탱크가 통시에 TPRD를 통해 누출되는 조건과 대형크랙이 발생하여 누출하는 조건으로 하였으며, 터널 내 풍속은 0, 1, 2.5, 4.0 m/s를 고려하였다. 가연영역에 대한 검토결과, 1 m/s 이상의 풍속이 존재하는 경우에는 풍속이 없는 경우와 비교하여 최대 25%수준까지 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 풍속증가에 따른 가연영역의 감소효과는 거의 없는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 특히 대형크랙이 발생하여 약 2.5초 만에 완전히 누출되는 경우에는 풍속이 증가하면 가연영역이 약간 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 하향 분출되는 경우에 풍속이 작은 차량하부 영역에 수소가스가 상당히 긴 시간동안 잔류하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Bullets flying with a light from the back are called "tracers". Tracers are ignited by the combustion gas of the propellant and emit bright light that allows the shooter to visually trace the flight path. Therefore, tracers mark the firing point for allies to assist shooters to hit target quickly and accurately. Conventional tracers are constructed with a mixture of an oxidizing agent, raw metal, and organic fuel. Upon ignition, the inside of the gun can be easily contaminated by the by-products, which can lead to firearm failure during long-term shooting. Moreover, there is a fire risk such as forest fires due to residual flames at impact site. Therefore, it is necessary to develop non-combustion type luminous material; however, this material must still use the heat generated from the propellant, so-called "thermoluminescence (TL)". This study aims to compare the TL emission of Dy³⁺, La³⁺ and Ho³⁺ doped MgB₄O₇ phosphors prepared by solid state reaction. The crystal structures of samples were determined by X-ray diffraction and matched with the standard pattern of MgB₄O₇. Luminescence of various doses (200 ~ 15,000 Gy) of gamma irradiated Dy³⁺, La³⁺ and Ho³⁺ (at different concentrations of 5, 10, 15 and 20 %) doped MgB₄O₇ were recorded using a luminance/color meter. The intensity of TL yellowish (CIE x = 0.401 ~ 0.486, y = 0.410 ~ 0.488) emission became stronger as the temperature increased and the total gamma-ray dose increased.

반도체, 디스플레이 등 IT(Information Technology) 제품 수요 증가로 관련 산업이 확대되고 있다. 이는 생산설비 증설과 화학물질 사용 증가로 이어지며 화재·폭발의 위험성에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 위험요인에 대해 정부는 오래전부터 인화성 물질을 제조·사용·취급하는 장소의 사고 예방을 위하여 산업안전보건법 및 KS 기준에 따라 폭발위험 장소로 설정하여 관리토록 하고 있다. 그러나, 폭발위험장소를 설정할 때, 중요한 요소인 환기량을 고려하지 않아 실질적인 폭발분위기 조성 가능성을 예측하기는 쉽지 않다. 이 연구에서는 디스플레이 산업에서 주요 공정인 CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition) 설비에 SEMI S6 Exhaust Ventilation Test 방법을 적용하여 위험한 설비의 환기 성능을 평가하고, 폭발분위기 조성 가능성을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 가상의 시나리오 내에서 환기 성능이 SEMI S6에서 규정한 기준에 적합하였고, 폭발분위기가 조성될 가능성이 낮음을 확인하였다. 따라서, KS 규격뿐만 아니라 공학적 기법으로 폭발분위기의 형성 여부를 예측한 연구 결과를 통해 합리적이고 경제적인 사고 예방에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 도로터널 화재 시 지하 및 지상 환기소의 방재 효율을 검토하기 위해 터널 축소모형실험을 실시하였다. 터널 모형은 Froude 상사를 기본으로 도로터널을 1/50로 축소하여 20 m의 모형 터널을 제작하였다. 방재 효율 분석에 적용된 연직갱은 설제 터널 설계시 고려된 두 가지 모형으로서 실터널 560, $280\;m^3/s$의 배연량을 1/50으로 상사하여 적용하였다. 결과로 모두 연직갱을 통한 CO 가스의 전량 배출이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 두 환기소의 CO 농도는 지상 환기소가 지하 환기소 보다 2.23~2.73 ppm 작게 배출되었다. 그리고 지상 환기소의 경우 터널 벽면의 냉각효과로 인해 화재 후 온도의 상승이 지하 환기소보다 $0.53{\sim}0.94^{\circ}C$ 낮게 나타났다. 이상의 축소모형 환기소 내 CO농도 및 온도변화의 분석 결과, 방재적인 측면에서 볼 때 도로터널 내 환기소의 위치는 지하보다 지상에 위치하는 것이 유리할 것으로 판단되었다.

One of the latest fields of research in the area of output devices is tactual display devices [13,31]. These tactual or haptic devices allow the user to receive haptic feedback output from a variety of sources. This allows the user to actually feel virtual objects and manipulate them by touch. This is an emerging technology and will be instrumental in enhancing the realism of wearable augmented environments for certain applications. Tactual displays have previously been used for scientific visualization in virtual environments by chemists and engineers to improve perception and understanding of force fields and of world models populated with the impenetrable. In addition to tactual displays, the use of wearable audio displays that allow sound to be spatialized are being developed. With wearable computers, designers will soon be able to pair spatialized sound to virtual representations of objects when appropriate to make the wearable computer experience even more realistic to the user. Furthermore, as the number and complexity of wearable computing applications continues to grow, there will be increasing needs for systems that are faster, lighter, and have higher resolution displays. Better networking technology will also need to be developed to allow all users of wearable computers to have high bandwidth connections for real time information gathering and collaboration. In addition to the technology advances that make users need to wear computers in everyday life, there is also the desire to have users want to wear their computers. In order to do this, wearable computing needs to be unobtrusive and socially acceptable. By making wearables smaller and lighter, or actually embedding them in clothing, users can conceal them easily and wear them comfortably. The military is currently working on the development of the Personal Information Carrier (PIC) or digital dog tag. The PIC is a small electronic storage device containing medical information about the wearer. While old military dog tags contained only 5 lines of information, the digital tags may contain volumes of multi-media information including medical history, X-rays, and cardiograms. Using hand held devices in the field, medics would be able to call this information up in real time for better treatment. A fully functional transmittable device is still years off, but this technology once developed in the military, could be adapted tp civilian users and provide ant information, medical or otherwise, in a portable, not obstructive, and fashionable way. Another future device that could increase safety and well being of its users is the nose on-a-chip developed by the Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee. This tiny digital silicon chip about the size of a dime, is capable of 'smelling' natural gas leaks in stoves, heaters, and other appliances. It can also detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This device can also be configured to notify the fire department when a leak is detected. This nose chip should be commercially available within 2 years, and is inexpensive, requires low power, and is very sensitive. Along with gas detection capabilities, this device may someday also be configured to detect smoke and other harmful gases. By embedding this chip into workers uniforms, name tags, etc., this could be a lifesaving computational accessory. In addition to the future safety technology soon to be available as accessories are devices that are for entertainment and security. The LCI computer group is developing a Smartpen, that electronically verifies a user's signature. With the increase in credit card use and the rise in forgeries, is the need for commercial industries to constantly verify signatures. This Smartpen writes like a normal pen but uses sensors to detect the motion of the pen as the user signs their name to authenticate the signature. This computational accessory should be available in 1999, and would bring increased peace of mind to consumers and vendors alike. In the entertainment domain, Panasonic is creating the first portable hand-held DVD player. This device weight less than 3 pounds and has a screen about 6' across. The color LCD has the same 16:9 aspect ratio of a cinema screen and supports a high resolution of 280,000 pixels and stereo sound. The player can play standard DVD movies and has a hour battery life for mobile use. To summarize, in this paper we presented concepts related to the design and use of wearable computers with extensions to smart spaces. For some time, researchers in telerobotics have used computer graphics to enhance remote scenes. Recent advances in augmented reality displays make it possible to enhance the user's local environment with 'information'. As shown in this paper, there are many application areas for this technology such as medicine, manufacturing, training, and recreation. Wearable computers allow a much closer association of information with the user. By embedding sensors in the wearable to allow it to see what the user sees, hear what the user hears, sense the user's physical state, and analyze what the user is typing, an intelligent agent may be able to analyze what the user is doing and try to predict the resources he will need next or in the near future. Using this information, the agent may download files, reserve communications bandwidth, post reminders, or automatically send updates to colleagues to help facilitate the user's daily interactions. This intelligent wearable computer would be able to act as a personal assistant, who is always around, knows the user's personal preferences and tastes, and tries to streamline interactions with the rest of the world.
