In order to meet the stringent emission regulations, fast light-off of a catalyst is essential to reduce the HC and CO emissions during cold start. Cranking Exhaust Gas Ignition (CEGI) method developed in this study showed that the catalyst reaches the light-off temperature in a few seconds after cold start. The CEGI system cuts off the ignition signal for a few seconds during the cranking period. so the unburned fuel-air mixture bypasses the combustion chamber and flows through the exhaust manifold. When the unburned mixture reaches two glow plugs installed upstream of the catalyst, it burns and releases the thermal energy to heat up the catalyst. Results from the FTP-75 tests showed that the exhaust emissions with the CEGI reduced by 47.7% for THC and by 88.6% for CO in the cold-transient phase of the test.

This is a study to establish regulations against light pollution for lighting on roads. Many kinds of light pollution by luminaire on roads was calculated and analyzed by applying the classification method of luminaires(Cut-off classification of IDA-IESNA, BUG Rating Classification) and the calculation method of Upward Lighting Ratio of CIE among measures to prevent light pollution that international lighting organizations suggest. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the regulation by Cutoff of IESNA and ULR classification of CIE could be one for scattered light of light pollution compared to BUG classification but is not sufficient for the regulation of light tresspass or glare. BUG classification by each lighting zone was suggested as threshold value of the light pollution regulation considering domestic conditions.

In this paper, we introduce indoor localization technologies categorizing them into ON/OFF switch and senor based, wireless communication based, and image based technologies. Then we describe several representative techniques for each of them, emphasizing their strengths and weaknesses. We define important performance issues for indoor localization technologies and analyze recent technologies according to the performance issues. Our analyses show that ON/OFF switch based technologies are difficult to install, but accurate and not limited by light. Wireless communication technologies are not limited by light nor distance (space) and do not need additional device. Image based technologies do not need additional device but are limited by light, and their accuracies are affected by light. We believe that this paper provide wise view and necessary information for recent indoor localization technologies.

본 논문에서는 가시광을 사용하는 데이터 통신에서 광원의 플리커를 방지하기 위하여 On-off keying(OOK) 변조와 바이트반전 전송방식을 사용하였다. 송신부에서는 100 kHz의 구형파 전압을 부반송파로 사용하여 9.6 kbps의 기저대역 non-return-to-zero (NRZ) 입력데이터를 OOK 변조하고, 데이터의 비트열 형태에 관계없이 LED의 평균 광전력이 항상 일정하게 유지되도록 바이트반전 신호를 부가하여 전송하였다. 수신부에서는 대역통과 필터를 사용하여 주변의 120 Hz 잡음광의 간섭을 소거하고 OOK복조기를 사용하여 NRZ 형태의 원 신호를 복구하였다. 이러한 구조는 가시광 램프의 조명을 이용하여 근거리의 무선데이터 네트워크를 구축하는 데에 유용하다.

The present paper is devoted to investigate dynamic effect and steady-state performance of methane autothermal reformer theoretically and numerically. In order to simplify the complicated phenomena in the system, axisymmetric heterogeneous reactor model is developed. As autothermal reaction takes places on catalyst surface between bulk gas and catalyst, volume averaging method is incorporated using porous medium approach. To understand the start-up process which occurs in the reactor is highly important. Therefore, in this paper we get various goverining equations to find out transient and steady solutions and time scale for start-up introducing dimensionless variables. Start-up is a significant issue in reforming reaction for automobile system and fueling of SOFC-based auxiliary power units. This paper deals with characteristics of heat and mass transfer and predicted light-off time in the reformer as oxygen to carbon ratio ($O_2$/C) and amount of feeding gas.

The minimization of maximum DPF wall temperature and the fast Light-off during regeneration are the targets for the high durability of the DPF system and the high efficiency of regeneration. In order to predict transient thermal response of DPF, one-channel numerical modeling has been adopted. The effect of the ratio of length to diameter(L/D), cell density, the amount of soot loading on temporal thermal response and regeneration characteristics has been numerically investigated under two different running conditions: city driving mode and high speed mode. The results indicate that the maximum wall temperature of DPF increase with increasing 'L/D' in 'High speed mode'. For 'City driving mode', the maximum wall temperature decreases with increasing 'L/D' in the range of $'L/D{\geq}0.6'$. The maximum temperature decreases with increasing cell density because heat conduction and heat capacity are increased. It is also found that the effect of amount of soot loading on light-off time is negligible.

In the present work, the effect of a flow maldistribution on the thermal and conversion response of 8 monolith catalytic converter is Investigated. To achieve this goal, a combined chemical reaction and multi-dimensional fluid dynamic mathematical model has been developed. The present results show that flow uniformity within the monolith brick has 8 great impact on light-off performance of the catalytic converter. In the case of lower flow uniformity, large portions of the monolith remain cold due to locally concentrated high velocities and CO, HC are unconverted during warm-up period, which loads to retardation of light-off. It has been also found that the heat-up pattern of the monolith ill similar to the flow distribution profile, In the early stage of the reaction. It may be concluded that flow maldistribution can cause a significant retardation of the light-off and hence can eventually worsen tho conversion efficiency of automotive catalytic converter.

Most of the pollutants from passenger cars are emitted during the cold-transient phase of the FTP-75 test. In order to reduce the exhaust emissions during the cold-transient period, it is essential to warm up the catalyst as fast as possible after the engine starts, and the Unburned Exhaust Gas Ignition (UEGI) technology was developed through our previous studies to help close-coupled catalytic converters (CCC) reach the light-off temperature within a few seconds after cold-start. The UEGI system operates by igniting the unburned exhaust mixture by glow plugs installed upstream of the catalyst. The flame generates a high amount of heat, and if the heat is concentrated on a specific area of monolith surface, then thermal crack or failure of the monolith could occur. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the temperature distribution in the CCC during the UEGI operation, so the local temperatures in the monolith were measured using thermocouples. Experimental results showed that the temperature of CCC rises faster with the UEGI technology, and the CCC reaches the light-off temperature earlier than the baseline case. Under the conditions tested, the light-off time of the baseline case was 62 seconds, compared with 33 seconds for the UEGI case. The peak temperature is well under the thermal melting condition, and temperature distribution is not so severe as to consider thermal stress. It is noted that the UEGI technology is an effective method to warm up the catalyst with a small amount of thermal stress during the cold start period.

본 연구에서는 국립공원 탐방 성수기와 비수기에 따른 빛공해 특성 차이 분석을 목적으로 하였다. 우리나라 21개 국립공원 중 북한산과 무등산국립공원을 제외한 19개 국립공원의 빛공해는 2012년 10월(성수기)과 2013년 1월(비수기)에 촬영된 VIIRS(Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) 센서의 DNB(Day and Night Band) 영상 중 구름과 달빛이 없는 시기에 촬영된 영상을 이용하여 추정하였고, bootstrapping 회귀 분석을 이용하여 각 시기별로 어떠한 사회경제적, 정책적 요인이 국립공원 빛공해 수준에 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 국립공원 빛공해 특성은 탐방 성수기와 비수기에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 탐방 성수기에는 국립공원 내부의 야간 조명보다 공원 인근 조명이 국립공원 내부의 빛공해 수준에 더 큰 영향을 주었고 비수기에는 공원 인근보다 공원 내부에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 탐방 성수기에 국립공원 인근 야간 조명 영향이 더 크게 나타난 원인은 공원 인근의 숙박 및 레크리에이션 시설의 야간 조명이 대기 중에서 산란되어 국립공원 내부로 침입하는 스카이글로우현상(sky glow effect)으로 판단된다. 이 결과는 국립공원 빛공해의 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 국립공원 내부 뿐 아니라 특별히 탐방 성수기 동안 인근 지역의 야간 조명을 규제하여야 한다는 것을 시사해준다.

In this study, we propose a dimming control method for a visible light communication (VLC) system, in which the subcarrier on-off keying (OOK) modulation of Manchester code is used for data transmission. In the VLC transmitter, non-return-to-zero (NRZ) code data is transformed to Manchester code, which is OOK modulated with a subcarrier. Manchester code is used for flicker-free lighting; the duty factor is changed for dimming control, and the subcarrier is used for preventing the adjacent noise light interference. In the experiments, the dimming control was carried out from about 8%-92% of the continuous wave (CW) LED light. This configuration is simple and effective in constructing a VLC system for indoor wireless sensor networks with flicker-free illumination and dimming control capability without adjacent noise light interference.
