3D-PTV measurement has been carried out for the inner flows of a refrigerator. To visualize the air flows three-dimensionally, a helium bubble generator has been used for the 3D-PTV measurements. Three-dimensional flow field of the refrigerator's compartments have been reconstructed by the results obtained by the 3D-PTV Measurements on the electric power-consumption was also carried out in order to evaluate the improvements of the flow characteristics. It was verified that $3\%$ of power consumption was saved by improving the flow passages and characteristics.

The optimal AP placement for wireless LAN is important factor for improving service quality and reducing cost. Logical area property, which is user's frequently posed place, must be considerated for flexible design. This paper proposes optimal multiple AP placement method based on path loss model which is one of radio prediction tool. The proposed method can got flexibility in multiple AP placement using user's defined parameter and tile optimization design uses Hopfield network algorithm The result of simulation shows that the proposed optimization design of multiple AP placement can improve service quality for wireless LAN.

Two dimensional modeling was carried out to find the safety distance between the defrost heater and the plastic inner wall of domestic refrigerator Estimation was processed for the three cases; the estimation of plastic wall temperature (1) without any protection, (2) with an aluminum foil attached on a wall, and (3) with an aluminum shield installed between heater and wall. The former two cases are found to be dangerous during defrosting process, because the temperatures of inner wall reach above 80'C , which is the upper temperature limit of the wall material. The case with an aluminum shield is considered to be safe by maintaining the temperature of the wall in the range of 6$0^{\circ}C$ during defrosting process.

Purpose - This study proposes a strategic model for the late mover to effectively penetrate an industry that is dominated by a leading company. Thus, this study presents strategic implications for several late movers in overcoming the advantages of the leading company. Research design, data, and methodology - This study begins with a literature review followed by the formation of a strategic model that consists of: Repositioning, Utilization of Competence, Strategic Leadership, and Innovation. Specifically, this research analyzes LG Electronics (LG) as an example and investigates how LG infiltrates and grows in the water purifier market, overcoming the advantages of the powerful leading company. Results - The major steps taken by LG are summarized into four. First, LG studied the market, which had been conventionally treated as a single market. To penetrate the market, LG founded a new, special market segment. Subsequently, LG further segmented the market, executing a marketing strategy for each segment. Second, the unbending will of top managers was a key factor that addressed the challenge persistently. Third, even though LG was the late mover in the water purifier market, it had several technology competences such as compressor, refrigeration cycles, and algorithms. LG had profound knowledge in technology and used it effectively. Fourth, LG created a premium market through three innovative and distinguished factors such as the stainless water tank, sterilization service, and luxury design. Conclusions - This research draws four key findings from the example of the late mover in the water purifier industry: the reestablishment of a strategic position based on environmental change is an effective strategy for the late mover; strategic leadership is an important motive to generate late mover performance; and the late mover can utilize its existing knowledge and resources to overcome the first mover, such as presenting new added value compared to existing products as an effective catch-up strategy. Consequentially, through the study of performance determinants and the market penetration strategy of the late mover, this research has significance in providing basic material for companies trying to penetrate the market.

Aging phenomena of plasma polymer films were studied by using the surface analysis techniques of contact angle measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOFSIMS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The polymer films were grown on an aluminum substrate by using a plasma polymerization method from a gas mixture of acetylene and helium, and the films were subsequently modified to have a hydrophilic surface by oxygen plasma treatment. Aging of the polymer films was examined by exposing the samples to water and air environments. The aging process increased the hydrophobicity of the surface, as revealed by an increase in the advancing contact angle of water. XPS analysis showed that the population of oxygen-containing polar groups increased due to the uptake of oxygen during the aging, whereas TOF-SIMS analysis revealed a decrease in the polar group population in the uppermost surface layer. The results suggest that the change in surface property from hydrophilic to hydrophobic nature results from the restructuring of polymer chains near the surface, rather than compositional change of the surface. Oxidative degradation may enhance the mobility and the restructuring process of polymer chains.

High Luminance PDPs have been developed using high efficient electrode structure, discharge gas and fishbone type barrier ribs. New phosphors for the good picture quality were developed. Also, New manufacturing processes such as CPBB were applied in order to reduce processing steps. High Luminance of 1,000 $cd/m^2$ was obtained in the series of 42 inch, 50 inch and 60 inch PDPs.

본 논문에서는 시청자의 색상 특성을 고려하여 양안식 영상에서의 색상 불일치를 예측하는 방법을 제안했다. 먼저 색상 불일치 예측을 위한 주관적 평가로 색상 민감도 평가를 수행했다. 기본 세 채널 색 R, G, B에 대해 각각의 색상의 오차 범위를 결정한 후, 이를 기반으로 관심도와 복잡도를 평가하여 보다 세밀한 주관적 평가를 수행했다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 방법이 기존의 색상의 품질을 평가하기 위해 사용하는 유클리디안 색 거리 계산 방법과 US & Canadian Government Printing Offices의 품질 수준 규격(Qulaity Level Specifications)을 이용한 방법보다 효율적으로 색상 불일치 여부를 평가함을 확인했다.

We present a new collaboration model between industry and university through the case study of LG Electronics and Handong Global University. The aim of this education-oriented model is providing highly competitive engineers to the fields instead of accomplishing research projects or developing a new high-end technology. The proposed cooperation model is a win-win strategy for both academia and industry to have not only short-term but also long term benefits. We discuss how to develope and manage the demand-driven course which is the core program of our model. And we also evaluate the pros and cons of this collaboration model.
