In this paper, a new high resolution reflectometry scheme, time-frequency domain reflectometry(TFDR), isproposed to detect and estimate a fault in a transmission line. Traditional reflectometry methodologies have been achieved either in the time domain or in the frequency domain only. However, the TFDR can jump over the performance limits of the traditional reflectometry methodologies because the acquired signal is analyzed in time and frequency domain simultaneously. In the TFDR, the new reference signal and the novel TFDR algorithm are proposed for analyzing the acquired signal in the time-frequency domain. Because the reference signal of Gaussian envelop chirp signal is localized in the time and frequency domain simultaneously, it is suitable to the analysis in the time-frequency domain. In the proposed TFDR algorithm, the time-frequency distribution function and the normalized time-frequency cross correlation function are used to detect and estimate a fault in a transmission line. That algorithm is verified for real-world coaxial cables which are typical transmission line with different types of faults by the TFDR system composed of real instruments. The performance of the TFDR methodology is compared with that o( the commercial time domain reflectomeoy(TDR) experiments, so that concludes the TFDR methodology can detect and estimate the fault with smaller error than TDR methodology.

For a long time target maneuvers in tracking problem have been a difficult task to handle. Once a maneuvering such as abrupt change in target accelerations occur, the tracking fiter no longer yields a reasonable estimate of the target position. In order to resolve this cumbersome maneuvering problem. Advanced methods have here proposed : Colored noise, IE(Input Estimation), VD(Variable Dimension), IMM(Interaction Multiple Model), Jump-type processes and jerk model, etc. In this paper, tracking performance of the jerk model is analyzed. Jerk model in which the derivative of target acceleration is included as a state recently attracted considerable attraction. Firstly 3-dimensional Kalman filter is described on the basis of jerk model. Then using this filter, Monte-Carlo simulations are carried out and the filter formance with respect to the variation of jerk time-constant is analyzed. Especially, since jerk model's transient performance is expected to be poor, the performance of analysis of transient response of the model is included too.

A software simulator is developed for verifying the VLBI Correlation Subsystem (VCS) trial product hardware. This software simulator includes the delay tracking, fringe rotation, bit-jump, FFT analysis, re-quantization, and auto/cross-correlation functions so as to confirm the function of the VCS trial product hardware. To verify the effectiveness of the developed software simulator, we carried out experiments using the simulation data which is a mixed signal with white noise and tone signal generated by software. We confirmed that the performance of this software simulator is similar as that of the hardware system. In case of spectral analysis and re-quantization experiment, a serious problem of the VCS hardware, which is not enough for expressing the data stream of FFT results specified in VCS hardware specification, was found by this software simulator. Through the experiments, the performance of software simulator was verified to be efficient. In future, we will improve and modify the function of software simulator to be used as a software correlator of Korea-Japan Joint VLBI Correlator (KJJVC).

Objective: This was a correlation study for predicting the power to improve the distance of golf players and developing an effective power program. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The subjects of this study were 24 healthy males and females in their 20s and 30s who were golf athletes living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. In the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Level 1 test, the twelve swing characteristics include components of stability, mobility, body conditioning ability, and balance. The power test consisted of a vertical jump (VJ) in order to examine the power of the lower body, the seated chest pass (SCP) was used to examine upper body power, and the sit up and throw (SUAT) was used to examine the power of the upper body and core for the TPI Level 2 test. Results: The results of this study showed that the 90/90 was correlated with VJ, SUAT, and SCP scores (p<0.05). Single leg stance was correlated with VJ, SUAT, over head deep squat, and bridge with leg extension were correlated with VJ (p<0.05). The toe touch was correlated with SUAT results (p<0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the TPI Level 1 test and power test were correlated with the performance of the golf players. Future studies have shown that fitness program development and further research are needed.

The jumping ring apparatus described in this study is used to demonstrate and educate the effects of electromagnetic induction. Placing an aluminum ring over the core and switching on AC source causes the ring to jump in the air due to induced currents in the ring producing a magnetic field opposed to that produced in the core. This force is a function of flux density, ac current of ring and levitated height of the ring. Using photo sensor arrays, detect the ring position and represent the position of the ring to analog voltage for an education performance. This paper presents modelling of the jumping ring system and shows how does control signal generate in order to follow desired position.

Valve motion is one of the most important factors which affect on engine noise and efficiency. Since engine valve train is characterized as a spring-mass system, its dynamic response should be analyzed for varing operation RPM range. In this paper, a OHV type valve train motion was studied by dynamic model analysis. A five degrees of freedom model was set up and simulated for different operating conditions. Also in order to varify the usefulness of the model, the valve displacement and the pushrod force were directly measured for varying RPMs and compared with the simulation results. Then sensitivity analysis was done with the five degrees of freedom model in order to suggest for valve train design change.

It is considered that the application of advanced composite materials to the prostheses for the disables is important to improve their bio-mechanical performance. Particularly, energy storing foot prosthesis is mostly important to restore gait ability of the disables with low-extremity amputation since it could provide propulsion at terminal stance enhancing the disables ability to walk long distance even run and jump. Therefore, the energy storing spring of Prosthetic foot keel under cyclic bending moment use mainly of high strength glass fiber reinforced plastic. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the stacking sequence effect using the delamination growth rate(dA$_{D}$/dN) of energy storing spring in glass fiber reinforced plastic under cyclic bending moment. The test results indicated that the shape of delamination zone depends on stacking sequence in GFRP laminates. Delamination area(A$_{D}$) turns out that variable types with the contour increased non-linearly toward the damage zones.nes.

The capacity and the performance of the spatial filtering system depends on the spatial properties of wireless vector channel. In this paper, we have analyzed the wireless vector channel characteristics in the dense urban area using the data collected from the real environments. After analyzing the measurement data, it has been found out that the signals were received mainly from only a few directions (such as roads or commercial buildings) even if mobile users are randomly distributed in a cell. Moreover, the DOA(Direction-of-Arrival) of a received signal may not change continuously while a mobile is moving, it may jump from one direction to the other direction with fading.

The surface heat flux of nuclear fuel rod is the most important factor which can affect safety of reactor and fuel. If fuel rod surface heat flux exceeds the CHF(${\underline{C}}ritical$ ${\underline{H}}eat$ ${\underline{F}}lux$), fuel can be damaged. In case of double cooled annular fuel, which is under developing, contains two coolant channels. Therefore, a generated heat in the fuel pellet can move to inner or outer channel and heat flow direction is decided by both sides heat resistance which varied by dimension and material property change which caused by temperature and irradiation. The new program(called DUO) was developed. For the calculation of surface heat flux, a both sides convection by inner/outer coolant, s gap temperature jump and conduction in the fuel are modeled. Especially, temperature and time dependent fuel dimension and material property change are considered during the iteration. A sample calculation result shows that the DUO program has sufficient performance for annular fuel thermal hydraulics design.

Followed the System Design Review (PDR) of a mobile SLR (Satellite Laser Ranging) system, a successful preliminary design review was finished in 2009. With the completion of this mobile SLR system, KASI (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute) can perform a series of test observation and calibration/validation procedures. After the operation performance of the whole system reaches the nominal design, a regular scheduled observation will be executed. However, the project has been disturbed by the frequent change of working staff, budget profile, and plan as well as the inexperienced man power. In this study, the contents and the issues of PDR are briefly reviewed and several items of SLR system are suggested. This mobile SLR system will push Korea's Space Geodetic study further and will make us jump to another step to the Space Science in Korea.
