For an accurate and efficient time-dependent Monte Carlo (TDMC) neutron transport analysis, several advanced methods are newly developed and implemented in the Seoul National University Monte Carlo code, McCARD. For an efficient control of the neutron population, a dynamic weight window method is devised to adjust the weight bounds of the implicit capture in the time bin-by-bin TDMC simulations. A moving geometry module is developed to model a continuous insertion or withdrawal of a control rod. Especially, the history-based batch method for the TDMC calculations is developed to predict the unbiased variance of a bin-wise mean estimate. The developed methods are verified for three-dimensional problems in the C5G7-TD benchmark, showing good agreements with results from a deterministic neutron transport analysis code, nTRACER, within the statistical uncertainty bounds. In addition, the TDMC analysis capability implemented in McCARD is demonstrated to search the optimum detector positions for the pulsed-neutron-source experiments in the Kyoto University Critical Assembly and AGN201K.

This paper presents a study of position tracing system for Underwater Vehicle Robots(UVR) that is inspecting an atomic furnace. This system development is the basic research for the purpose of position estimation of UVR and preventing that UVR crash into the wall of an atomic furnace. For this purpose, Pan/Tilt Unit that is attached Laser is pointing PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) Sensor which is stuck to the upper side of UVR. Through this action, we can find the Position of UVR. In this paper, we construct the system for aiming the laser pointer at PSD Sensor using pan/tilt and study the optimum algorithm for finding the optional position that is located at the space which is pointable area by Laser device.

Various kinds of systems, that can do target recognition and position detection simultaneously by using infrared sensing detectors, have been developed. In this paper, the detection system TRSS (Thermal target Recognition by Spiral Scanning) adopts linear array shaped uncooled IR detector and uses spiral type fast scanning method for relative position detection of target objects, which radiate an IR region wavelength spectrum. It can detect thermal energy radiating from a 9 m-size target object as far as 200 m distance. And the maximum field of a detector is fully filled with the same size of target object at the minimum approaching distance 50 m. We investigate two types of lens systems. One is a singlet lens and the other is a doublet lens system. Every system includes one aspheric surface and free positioned aperture stop. Many designs of F/1.5 system with ${\pm}5.2^{\circ}$ field at the Efl=20, 30 mm conditions for single element and double elements lens system respectively are compared in their resolution performance [MTF] according to the aspheric surface and stop position changing on their optimization process. Optimum design is established including mechanical boundary conditions and manufacturing considerations.

The propagation of light radiation in a turbid medium is an important problem that confronts dosimetry of therapeutic laser delivery and the development of diagnostic spectroscopy. Scattered light is measured as a function of the position(distance r, depth z) between the axis of the incident beam and the detection spot. Turbid sample yields a very forward-directed scattering pattern at short range of position from source to detector, whereas the thicker samples greatly attenuated the on-axis intensity at long range of position. The portions of scattered light reflected from or transmitted throughphantom depend upon internal reflectance and absorption properties of the phantom. Monte Carlo simulation method for modelling light transport in tissue is applied. It uses the photon is moved a distance where it may be scattered, absorbed, propagated, internally reflected, or transmitted out of tissue. The photon is repeatedly moved until it either escape from or is absorbed by the phantom. In order to obtain an optimum therapeutic ratio in phantom material, optimum control the light energy fluence rate is essential. This study is to discuss the physical mechanisms determining the actual light dose in phantom. Permitting a qualitative understanding of the measurements. It may also aid in designing the best model for laser medicine and application of medical engineering.

결빙상태에서 비행 시 결빙수준은 항공기에 장착된 결빙 감지장비에 의해 정확히 측정되어야 한다. 결빙감지기는 항공기 형상으로부터 야기되는 후류, 로터 하강풍 및 출입문이나 다른 장비에 의한 간섭 등으로 부터 영향을 받지 않는 곳에 설치해야한다. 이러한 간섭을 받지 않는 최적화된 위치를 선정하기 위한 분석과 해석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 컴퓨터 분석을 통해 비행형태별 결빙감지기 주변의 유체의 속도, 수분의 양과 분포 및 크기를 분석하여 최적의 위치를 제안하였다.

Increasing stringent emissions legislation and requirement of more effective energy used for diesel engine demand the fine control of the fuel injection system. Recently, the electromagnetic fuel injection control system for diesel engine is tried to realize the optimum diesel combustion by the feel back sensing as optical signal of combustion flame. The photo detectors were made for the feed back signal of electromagnetic fuel injection control for small DI diesel engine. Their abilities to detect defining combustion events were examined. By evaluating test results, it was shown that the wider acceptable optical range design of optical probe window face, and selection of installation position and installation method of detector were important point for improving sensing ability. The detector was shown to detect start and end of diffused combustion and maximum point of flame intensity impossible for pressure sensor, and also shown that the maximum point of flame intensity was 75% of accumulated heat release point within the experimental conditions.

To detect motions of bodies, we have discussed them with two viewpoints; one is a detection algorithm, and another is the hardware implementation. The former is to find small terms expansions for sine/cosine functions. We researched Maclaurin and optimum expansions, and moreover to reduce hardware amounts, revised the expansions. The expansions don't include divide calculations, and the error is within 0.01%. As for the former problem, there is another approach also; that is the cordic method. The method is based on the rotation of a vector on the complex plain. It is simple iterations and don't require large logic. We examined the precision and convergence of the method on C-simulations, and implemented on HDL. The later problem is to make FPGA within small gates. We considered approaches to eliminate a divider and to reduce the bit number of arithmetic. We researched Newton-Raphson's method to get reciprocal numbers. The higher-order expression shows rapid convergence and doesn't be affected by the initial guess. It is an excellent algorithm. Using them, we wish to design a detector, and are developing it on a FPGA.

본 논문에서는 문-음성 합성기에서 사용되는 대용량 데이터 베이스의 구성을 목적으로 하는 음성 신호의 자동 분할기법을 기술하였다. 주된 내용은 은닉 마코프 모델에 기반을 둔 음소 분할과 여기서 얻어진 결과를 초기 음소 경계로 사용하여 이를 자동으로 수정하는 방법으로 구성되어 있다. 다층 퍼셉트론이 음성 경계의 검출기로 사용되었으며, 음소 분할의 성능을 증가시키기 위해, 음소의 천이 패턴에 따라 다층 퍼셉트론을 개별적으로 학습시키는 방법이 제안되었다. 음소 천이 패턴은 수작업에 의해 생성된 레이블 정보를 기준 음소 경계로 사용하여, 기준 음소 경계와 추정된 음소 경계간의 전체 오차를 최소화하는 관점에서 분할되도록 하였다. 단일 화자를 대상으로 하는 실험에서 제안된 기법을 통해 생성된 음소 경계는 기준 경계와 비교하여 95%의 음소가 20 msec 이내의 경계 오차를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 평균 자승 제곱근 오차면에서 수정 작업을 통해 25% 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.
