  • This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the removable ankle-foot orthosis (RAFO) which was developed to improve the gait of stroke patients. The subjects of this study were five stroke patients who agreed to participate in this study by signing a written consent form. To verify gait improvement after wearing the orthosis, a Timed Up and Go test and Functional Gait Assessment were performed, and spatiotemporal gait variables such as gait speed, cadence, stride length, double limb support, and the efficient gait test of body sway angle were performed. For every variable, the differences prior to and after wearing the RAFO were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Every gait variable improved significantly after wearing the RAFO compared to prior to wearing it. The pilot study will enhance future efforts to evaluate orthotic function objectively during gait in stroke patients.

  • 현재 국내에서 생산되는 에탄올은 원료나 연료용으로 사용되는 합성알콜과 주류의 원료로 사용되는 발효알콜이 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 그러나 휘발유 첨가제, 연료용 알콜의 수요가 늘어날 경우 발효공정을 이용한 에탄올 연료의 사용이 늘어날 전망이며 특히 기존의 휘발유 첨가제 중 옥탄가 향상을 위한 MTBE 대신 에탄올, ETBE의 사용이 환경적인 측면이나 경제적으로 유리하다. 연로나 첨가제로서 에탄올을 사용하기 위해서는 기존의 95%의 순도를 갖는 일반에탄ㅇ올 대신에 99.5wt%이상의 고순도 에탄올을 생산하여야 하며 에탄올 농축공정 중의 하나인 Pervaporation은 국내에서 1-2년 전부터 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 현재 국내에서 진행되고 있는 Pervaporation Test는 대부분 합성알콜을 이용하여 수행되었다. 이 실험에서는 주정공장에서 제조한 주정과 조주정을 이용, 현장 Pilot Test를 통해 PV System의 성능 검증, 에탄올 내 Trace 물질파악 및 필요 막면적을 이용하여 합성알콜과의 Performance비교를 수행하였다.

  • Recently, the use of UVC lamps inside building air-conditioning system has been increasing in both medical and nonmedical buildings for the control of environmental microorganisms. In the present study, irradiance performance test of UVC lamp was carried out and surface sterilization effect of UV ray was investigated by using UV ray irradiation experimental chamber and pilot system. Experimental results show that the effective irradiance of UVC lamp is strongly dependent on air velocity and temperature with exception of relative huminity in air-conditioning system. An individual microbiological kill effectiveness experiment also shows that the fractional kill of two microbiological samples such as E. Coli and Legionella is roughly the same as the estimated fractional kill in the case of chamber test and pilot system test.

  • Recently, a large fire occurred in a multi-use facility used by a large number of citizens, including the vulnerable, resulting in a lot of injuries and damages. Although several pilot studies have been conducted to reduce such incidents, the development of advanced disaster response technology using the latest spatial information and IoT technology is still insufficient. In this study, a pilot test bed is built to demonstrate detailed technologies derived through the first stage of realistic fire management technology research for the development of applied technology in the field. In detail, the building conditions and candidate sites of the test bed were first investigated and analyzed to derive satisfactory conditions and candidate target buildings. A second pilot test bed was then selected, and the necessary sensor and facility infrastructure were built to demonstrate the outcomes. Finally, a scenario was produced for technology verification, and a test bed system was developed. The pilot test bed is expected to contribute to verifying intermediate outcomes of realistic fire management research projects, enhancing the quality of the developed technologies.

  • This study is objected to estimate the variation of the coefficient of leachate according to designs in landfill cover systems. Design (a) is the unsanitary landfill cover system with 50 cm soil. But Design (b), (c) are sanitary cover systems which are composed of soil top layer, drainage layer, barrier liner(Design (b): Geomembrane(1.5 mm) and compacted clay liner(30 cm), Design (c) compacted clay liner(45 cm)), gas venting layer. Quantity of leachate estimates Rational Method generally and depend on the coefficient of leachate, on one of the factors in Rational Method largely. The coefficient of leachate is defined as the leachate production ratio result from incident precipitation. To estimate the variation of the coefficient of leachate, the authors use HELP(Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance) Simulation and Pilot Test. As a result of HELP Simulation, the coefficient of leachate is 0.36∼0.42 in Design (a) and 0.03∼0.15 in Design (b), (c) according to designs in landfill cover systems and quality of barrier liner placement. These numerical values are similar to 0.13 with the coefficient of leachate in Pilot Test.

  • Construction industry have been occurred to the various demand of information. Also information quantity is increasing therefore, The role of information systems is important. Recently PMIS, an efficient decision-making support instrument of construction industry, is applied to various projects. However, its utility is still not enough. So this study suggests the concept model on the basis BIM to settle such a problem. Building the Pilot System was based on this study, and present the direction from Advanced PMIS.

  • In this study, we have developed a process for separating and recovering Ni and Fe in solution through a new solvent instead of TBP and Alamine336, which are solvents used in the conventional solvent extraction method. Experimental conditions were optimized through lab test and a $10L\;h^{-1}$ pilot plant was constructed for commercialization. In addition, the process data for mass production were obtained through pilot experiment and it was confirmed that there is no problem in product quality that can be used through the corrosion test of ferric chloride.

  • Flapper Valve of Korean Utility Helicopter(KUH-1) is an essential equipment in Environmental Control System(ECS) for pilot to perform flight mission. It provides pilots and crews with heating, ventilating and air conditioning. It has function of maintaining room temperature to sustain operational capability for pilot and crew. This paper summarizes pilot comments in flight test which are classified by cause of occurrence and the troubleshooting process about each comment. It also describes design improvements which was derived from troubleshooting and suggests verification results of flight test at low temperature.

  • This study was performed to examine use of the pump-and-treat method for remediation of TCE, CF and CT in groundwater contaminated by DNAPL. The Woosan industrial complex is located in Wonju, about 120 km east of Seoul, Korea. Two pumping wells (KDPW7 and KDPW8) and five monitoring wells (KDMW7, KDMW8, KDMW9, KDMW10, and SKW2) were installed for the test. An asphalt laboratory is a main source of the extensive subsurface contamination at this site. To evaluate change in the concentrations of TCE, CF, and CT in groundwater in the study area, three rounds of pump-and-treat pilot tests were performed (6 July to 6 August, 22 August to 6 September, and 19 September to 2 December in 2011). The groundwater levels and the concentrations of TCE, CF, and CT exhibited negative correlations in the wet season but positive correlations in the dry season, which suggests that the TCE concentrations were mainly controlled by dilution through rainfall during the wet season and by residual TCE, CF, and CT in the unsaturated zone during the dry season. These possibilities should be considered in the full-scale remediation plan.
