This paper deals with the control of magnetic field around the down conductor of lightning protection systems. The magnetic field strength in the vicinity of down conductor is shown to drop off rapidly with distance from the down conductor and is reversely proportional to the number of down conductor. Also the magnetic field strength is decreased in the structures as the down conductor is installed with the symmetrical arrangement, and it is zero at the center of symmetry. The magnetic field strengths for the symmetrical arrangement of two down conductors are less than one half compared with that for a down conductor. A proper arrangement of down conductor can reduce or cancel the magnetic field in a restricted place where information-oriented and computerized facilities are densely installed.

Pulse laser welding of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was simulated to find optimal welding conditions by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered and user subroutines were applied to boundary condition for the heat transfer. Material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, mass density and latent heat were given as a function of temperature. A moving heat source was designed on the basis of experimental data. As a result, Nd:YAG laser welding for AISI 304 stainless steel was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal welding condition.

In this paper, we propose a matrix star graph which improves the network cost of the well-known star grah as an interconnection network. We analyze its characteristics in terms of the network parameters, such as degree, scalability, routing, and diameter. The proposed matrix star graph MS2,n has the half degrees of a star graph S2n with the same number of nodes and is an interconnection network with the properties of node symmetry, maximum fault tolerance, and recursive structure. In network cost, a matrix star graph MS2,n and a star graph S2n are about 3.5n2 and 6n2 respectively which means that the former has a better value by a certain constant than the latter has.

Relative power density distributions of the Kori Unit 1 pressurized water reactor are calculated by Monte Carlo modeling with the MCNP code. The Kori Unit 1 core is modeled on a three-dimensional representation of the one-eighth of the reactor in-vessel component with reflective boundaries at 0 and 45 degrees. The axial core model is based on half core symmetry and is divided into four axial segments. Fission reaction density in each rod is calculated by following 100 cycles with 5,000 test neutrons in each cycle after starling with a localized neutron source and ten noncontributing settle cycles. Relative assembly power distributions are calculated from fission reaction densities of rods in assembly. After 100 cycle calculations, the system converges to a k value of 1.00039 $\geq$ 0.00084. Relative assembly power distribution is nearly the same with that of the Kori Unit 1 FSAR. Applicability of the full-scope Monte Carlo simulation in the power distribution calculation is examined by the relative root moan square error of 2.159%.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine the hemodynamic characteristics of pulse point. Methods : The computational analysis algorithms of arterial tree system was derived. In order to investigate the effect of internal organ on the pulse point, the diameter of celiac artery was reduced by half. Results : The sensitivity of flow change at the Inyoung(Renying) is better than that of the Chongu(Cunkou). but the Inyoung was worse than the Chongu in the point of the left and right symmetry. The pressure changes at the Inyoung and the Chongu were in the similar range. Conclusions : It was found from the result that the Chongu shows the more symmetrical hemodynamic characteristics than the Inyoung.

Conventional design methods for CTD (charge transfer devices) FIR filters, whose coefficients consist of +1, 0, and -1, do not guarantee the phase linearity of the resulting filter, To obtain the linear phase filter, in this paper, an improved algorithm is presented based on the symmetry property of the linear phase filter coefficients. It has been shown that the proposed algorithm results in the linear phase filter and that the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced by an half of that in the existing method.

This paper presents a design of FIR near-equiripple Nyquist filters having zero-intersymbol interference (ISI) and low sensitivity to timing jitter, with coefficients taking only discrete values. Using an affine scaling linear programming algorithm, an optimum discrete coefficient set can be obtained in a feasible computational time. Also presented is a pipelined multiplier-free FIR filter realization with periodically time-varying (PTV) coefficients based on a hybrid form suitable for Nyquist filter. The realization exploits the coefficient symmetry to reduce the hardware by about one half. High speed computation and low power consumption are achieved by its pipelined and low fan-out structure.

In this letter, novel antennas with two spiral elements are presented for ultra-wideband application. The original antenna consists of a T-shaped microstrip feed line, two spiral radiating elements, and a ground plane with two circular slots. It measures 30 mm ${\times}$ 40 mm ${\times}$ 1.6 mm. Spiral elements are used to increase the lower bandwidth limit. To further reduce the size of the antenna, the original antenna is cut in half by using the symmetry of the surface current distributions. The proposed antennas feature omnidirectional radiation patterns and good gain flatness.

In this paper, forging of internal triangular and involute serrations are analyzed by upper bound method. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for half pitch of the serration were proposed. It was assumed that the shape flow surface during forging is a straight line perpendicular to plane of symmetry. Using the suggested velocity fields, forging loads and relative pressures were calculated by numerical method. Experiments were carride out with commercial AI 2024 aluminium alloy. As a result, the calculated solutions are good agreement with experimental results, so it is useful to predict the loads for forging of internal serrations.
