The causes of occupational hearing loss are physical trauma. ototxic substances and noise. However, only noise induced hearing loss of workers has been reported in Korea as second cause of occupational disease. We report a case of progressive hearing loss in worker exposed to noise. carbon disulfide and hydrogen sulfide for about 13 years. Because of his hearing loss he had to move another position where no noise and no ototoxic substance is. Following audiometry showed that his hearing loss had worsen than before.

A pin fin with variable fin base thickness is optimized based on the ratio of heat loss to the maximum heat loss using a two-dimensional analytic method. The temperature profile along the normalized radius position in the fin is presented. For fixed fin outer radius, the optimum heat loss, fin length and efficiency as a function of fin base thickness, outer radius, convection characteristic numbers ratio and ambient convection characteristic number are presented. One of the results shows that the effect of fin outer radius and ambient convection characteristic number on the optimum fin length is remarkable.

Rapid developments in wireless sensor networks have extended many applications, hence, many studies have developed wireless sensor network positioning systems for indoor environments. Among those systems, the Global Position System (GPS) is unsuitable for indoor environments due to Line-Of-Sight (LOS) limitations, while the wireless sensor network is more suitable, given its advantages of low cost, easy installation, and low energy consumption. Due to the complex settings of indoor environments and the high demands for precision, the implementation of an indoor positioning system is difficult to construct. This study adopts a low-cost positioning method that does not require additional hardware, and uses the received signal strength (RSS) values from the receiver node to estimate the distance between the test objects. Since many objects in indoor environments would attenuate the radio signals and cause errors in estimation distances, knowing the path loss exponent (PLE) in an environment is crucial. However, most studies preset a fixed PLE, and then substitute it into a radio propagation loss model to estimate the distance between the test points; such method would lead to serious errors. To address this problem, this study proposes a Path Loss Exponent Estimation Algorithm, which uses only four beacon nodes to construct a radio propagation loss model for an indoor environment, and is able to provide enhanced positioning precision, accurate positioning services, low cost, and high efficiency.

In this paper a novel tracking system is described, regarding the influence of shadow between array, aimed at improving the efficiency of PV tracking system. Comparing with a building site versus capacity power, domestic solar powers have a limited siting. Therefore, each array interferes with the shadow of other arrays. The loss by influence of those shadow can be compensated for by means of control algorithm of the tracking device. The paper suggests a method controlling an altitude for length which is received the shadow influence of PV array. By using an azimuth of current solar position and the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device is able to calculate the length between actual arrays and make a comparison of the shadow length at a specific time with the length between arrays. When the shadow length is longer than the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device can adjust a position by compensating error altitude of the length between arrays at an altitude of current solar position. In the paper, we develop the control algorithm able to minimize the loss caused by the influence of shadow on the PV tracking system, and compared this with conventional output system. The controller has been tested in the laboratory with proposed algorithm and shows excellent performance.

본 연구는 분기배관을 물계통 소화설비에 적용할 경우 정확한 등가길이를 제시하고자 수행하였다. 등가길이 측정위치를 예측하고자 분기배관의 압력강하에 대해 유한체적법을 이용하여 확인한 후 측정위치를 결정하였고 그 위치에서 압력손실시험을 실시하였다. 측정된 값의 정확성을 판단하기 위해 해석결과와 비교하였고 두 값이 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과로 분기배관의 압력손실측정위치를 주방향의 입구측은 주배관 호칭의 20배, 출구측은 주배관 호칭의 10배, 분기방향의 출구측은 주배관 호칭의 20배로 제안하였다.

This paper presents an experimental study on vibration characteristics of an automotive roof with viscoelastic material. The goal of the study is to extract modal parameters (natural frequency, loss factor, and mode shape) of automotive roof with unconstrained and constrained layer damping treatment. To determine the effective position of the viscoelastic patch on a roof, vibration tests have been carried out for two cases; Aluminum plate with viscoelastic patch on maximum strain energy, and aluminum plate with viscoelastic patch on nodal line. From the result of aluminum plate, it is found that the viscoelastic patch should be attached on the Place with maximum strain energy Part. For the automotive root five Patches of unconstrained or constrained viscoelastic material have been attached on the position of maximum strain energy. This paper addresses that the proper position of viscoelastic patch is very important and the concept of maximum strain energy may be a good criterion f3r the placement of viscoelastic patch.

본 논문에서는 직사각형 도파관내에 놓여 있는 동축선으로 급전되는 사각형 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나의 입력 임피던스를 공진기 모델 및 안테나에 의해 여기되는 도파관내의 전송 모드로부터 이론적으로 계산하였다. 자유공간과 도파관내에서 패치 안테나의 급전 위치에 따른 return loss 및 효율을 계산하여 비교하였으며 최대 효율을 얻을 수 있는 급전점이 자유공간과 도파관에서 차이가 있음을 보였다.

This paper presents an optimization technique using genetic algorithms(GA) for loss minimization in the distribution network reconfiguration. Determining switch position to be opened for loss minimization in the radial distribution system is a discrete optimization problem. GA is appropriate to solve the multivariable optimization problem and it uses population, not a solution. For this reason, GA is attractive to solve this problem. In this paper, we aimed at finding appropriate open sectionalizing switch position using GA, which can lead to minimum transmission losses.
