Multi-Function Display (MFD) of Korean Utility Helicopter (KUH) displays image information(navigation, flight, topographical and maintenance information) delivered from Mission Computer (MC) during flight operation. The abnormal display of MFD such as flickering phenomenon was identified in the system development. It was solved by improving the shielding performance of the DVI cable and changing the DVI cable installation path at the first mass production. However, it was occurred again when the aircraft was operated for one or two years after delivery. It was also identified in the evaluation process of the derivative helicopters. Therefore, a comprehensive review of the aircraft system level has been performed to solve the problem of MFD malfunction at first and then a design improvement plan was derived by improving the DVI cable. In this paper, the causes of MFD anomalies are analyzed and also the process of design improvement are summarized. The validity of the improvement has been verified through the DVI cable assembly comparison test, SIL/ground/flight test.

We performed a comprehensive comparison between GPS Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) and TOPEX/Jason (T-J) TEC data for the periods of 1998~2009 in order to assess the performance of GIM over the global ocean where the GPS ground stations are very sparse. Using the GIM model constructed by CODE at University of Bern, the GIM TEC values were obtained along the T-J satellite orbit at the locations and times of the measurements and then binned into various geophysical conditions for direct comparison with the T-J TECs. On the whole, the GIM model was able to reproduce the spatial and temporal variations of the global ionosphere as well as the seasonal variations. However, the GIM model was not accurate enough to represent the well-known ionospheric structures such as the equatorial anomaly, the Weddell Sea Anomaly, and the longitudinal wave structure. Furthermore, there seems to be a fundamental limitation of the model showing the unexpected negative differences (i.e., GPS < T-J) in the northern high latitude and the southern middle and high latitude regions. The positive relative differences (i.e., GIM > T-J) at night represent the plasmaspheric contribution to GPS TEC, which is maximized, reaching up to 100% of the corresponding T-J TEC values in the early morning sector. In particular, the relative differences decreased with increasing solar activity and this may indicate that the plasmaspheric contribution to the maintenance of the nighttime ionosphere does not increase with solar activity, which is different from what we normally anticipate. Among these results, the plasmaspheric contribution to the ionospheric GPS TEC will be presented in this talk and the rest of it will presented in the companion paper (poster presentation).

This study examines the effect of the type and number of orifices in an in-line mixer to improve the mixing performance and pressure loss. Recently, in-line non-power-consuming mixers have been increasingly used to complement mechanical mixers, which have a long dwell time, noise, excessive energy consumption, and high maintenance costs. An in-line mixer with an orifice for efficient mixing in water treatment was examined by numerical analysis using the commercial code FLUENT. The flow characteristics of pressure loss and velocity distribution within the mixer and the mixing efficiency were compared with and without the orifices. The CFD results show that the mixing efficiency was improved, but the pressure loss was increased by the in-line mixer with an orifice. A sensitivity study was also done on the principal parameters.

In this paper, HIC with various functions is proposed for the design 140W LED power control circuit. The proposed HIC integrates constant voltage/constant current circuit, short circuit protection circuit, internal constant voltage circuit, and dimmer circuit, thereby reducing the horizontal length of the PCB by 16% comparing with the conventional system. Through various experiments, we verified the performance of each block implemented inside of HIC with numerical results. (Constant voltage variation ratio: 2.9%, dimmer circuit duty variation within 5%, stable short protection at 720 mA) Since the PCB area can be significantly reduced by applying the proposed HIC. It is possible to reduce the PCB manufacturing time which takes up most of the manufacturing time, however, It is expected that the faulted power module can be replaced without replacing the whole PCB, so that maintenance / repair can be made easier.

Improper backfill materials and compaction controls under pipelines have become one of the major causes of failure in many sewage pipeline systems. A study on backfill materials and compaction controls has been considered for a long time. However, structural supporters under the pipe were recently concerned because of pipeline repair and maintenance. This paper presents a prefabricated plastic foundation for supporting a sewage pipe system and increasing the performance function of the pipes. Several analytical models for the plastic foundations were investigated using finite-element program, ABAQUS, for checking safety. Comparing with the results of analyses, some of economic design sections based on the sizes of pipe diameters, 600mm, 700 and 600mm, were evaluated. These results could be applied to a pipeline system with a prefabricated plastic foundation with respect to pipe diameters and buried depths.

Software today has become an inseparable part of our life. In order to achieve the ever demanding needs of customers, it has to rapidly evolve and include a number of changes. In this paper, our aim is to study the relationship of object oriented metrics with change proneness attribute of a class. Prediction models based on this study can help us in identifying change prone classes of a software. We can then focus our efforts on these change prone classes during testing to yield a better quality software. Previously, researchers have used statistical methods for predicting change prone classes. But machine learning methods are rarely used for identification of change prone classes. In our study, we evaluate and compare the performances of ten machine learning methods with the statistical method. This evaluation is based on two open source software systems developed in Java language. We also validated the developed prediction models using other software data set in the same domain (3D modelling). The performance of the predicted models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The results indicate that the machine learning methods are at par with the statistical method for prediction of change prone classes. Another analysis showed that the models constructed for a software can also be used to predict change prone nature of classes of another software in the same domain. This study would help developers in performing effective regression testing at low cost and effort. It will also help the developers to design an effective model that results in less change prone classes, hence better maintenance.

This study proposes a sustainable bearing remanufacturing process using the ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technique. The UNSM technique is a newly developed and sophisticated surface modification technique that can increase the mechanical properties and improve the friction and wear performance of materials. Taking advantage of the bearing manufacturing process is the most significant way of optimizing the life of a bearing. The proper maintenance and usage of repaired bearings can increase their life to be equal to or greater than that of new bearings. This paper discusses the restoration of certain mechanical properties of worn, damaged, and discarded bearings, and suggests a remanufacturing process for used bearings, which can impart them with a lifespan equivalent to that of new bearings. The most damaged part of the discarded bearings is the raceway, which is the site of accumulated fatigue. The existing polishing or barrel finishing processes can recover the accumulated fatigue only partially. Rolling contact fatigue tests performed on UNSM-treated new and used specimens polished after $4{\times}10^6$ cycles reveal that UNSM-treated new specimens exhibit the longest fatigue life compared to other specimens. This study verifies the proposed complete fatigue recovery process, which can increase the fatigue life of used bearings to a level greater than that of new bearings.

Smart Highway is the intelligent highway that improves a traffic safety, reduces incidence of traffic accidents, and supports intelligent and convenient driving environment so that drivers can drive at high speeds in safety[1]. In order to implement the highway, it is required to gather a dangerous data such as obstacle, wild animal, disabled car, etc. To provide the situation information of the highway, it has been gathered traffic information using various sensors. However, this technique has problems such as the problems of various information gathering, lack of accuracy depending on weather conditions and limitation of maintenance. Therefore, in order to provide safe driving information to driver by gathering dangerous condition, radar system is needed. In this paper, we used a developing 34.5GHz RWR(Road Watch Radar) radar for gathering dangerous information and we verified performance of obstacle detecting and resolution through field test.
