  • To assess the insulation deterioration of stator windings, diagnostic and AC breakdown tests were performed on the eleven high voltage (HV) motors rated at 6kV. After completing the diagnostic tests, the AC overvoltage test was performed by gradually increasing the voltage applied to the stator windings until electrical insulation failure occurred, to obtain the breakdown voltage. Stator winding of motors 1, 3, and 8 failed at above rated voltage at 14 kV, 13.8kV, and 16.4kV, respectively. The breakdown voltage of three motors was higher than expected for good quality windings in 6kV motors. Based on deterioration evaluation criteria, the stator winding insulation of eleven HV motors are confirmed to be in good condition. The turning point of the current, $P_{i2}$, in the AC current vs. voltage characteristics occurred between 5kV and 6kV, and the breakdown voltage was low between 13.8kV and 16.4kV. There was a strong correlation between the breakdown voltage and various electrical characteristics in diagnostic tests including Pi2.

  • The aging water pipes induce various problems, such as water supply suspension due to breakage, insufficient water pressure, deterioration of water quality, damage by sink holes, and economic losses due to water leaks. However, it is impractical and almost impossible to repair and/or replace all deteriorated water pipes simultaneously. Hence, it is required to quantitatively evaluate the deterioration rate of individual pipes indirect way to determine the rehabilitation order of priority. In this study, ANN(Artificial Neural Network)-Clustering method is suggested as a new approach to assess and assort the water pipes. The proposed method has been applied to a water supply network of YG-county in Jeollanam-do. To assess the applicability of the model, the evaluation results were compared with the results of the Numerical Weighting Method (NWM), which is being currently utilized in practice. The assessment results are depicted in a water pipe map to intuitively grasp the degree of deterioration of the entire pipelines. The application results revealed that the proposed ANN-Clustering models can successfully assess the water pipe deterioration along with the conventional approach of NWM.

  • This study was performed to explore the deterioration of physicochemical quality of beef hind limb during frozen storage at −20℃, affected by repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The effects of three successive freeze-thaw cycles on beef hind limb were investigated comparing with unfrozen beef muscle for 80 d by keeping at −20±1℃. The freeze-thaw cycles were subjected to three thawing methods and carried out to select the best one on the basis of deterioration of physicochemical properties of beef. As the number of repeated freeze-thaw cycles increased, drip loss decreased and water holding capacity (WHC) increased (p<0.05) till two cycles and then decreased. Cooking loss increased in cycle one and three but decreased in cycle two. Moreover, drip loss, WHC and cooking loss affected (p<0.05) by thawing methods within the cycles. However, pH value decreased (p<0.05), but peroxide value (p<0.05), free fatty acids value (p<0.05) and TBARS value increased (p<0.05) significantly as the number of repeated freeze-thaw cycles increased. Moreover, significant (p<0.05) interactive effects were found among the thawing methods and repeated cycles. As a result, freeze-thaw cycles affected the physicochemical quality of beef muscle, causing the degradation of its quality.

  • Motion-image-quality of LCD-TVs is discussed by dynamic spatial frequency response. Smaller temporal aperture or higher frame rate can improve dynamic response, but an increase of motion velocity easily cancels the improvement. A guideline for deciding the desirable temporal aperture and frame rate of LCD-TVs is described, under the condition that camera and display have the same parameters. Two candidates of the desirable parameter sets will be (240 or 300 Hz, 50 to 100% aperture) and (120Hz, 25 to 50% aperture), from the viewpoint of "limit of acceptance" on motion-imagequality-deterioration for critical picture materials.

  • Blanching conditions for immatured soybeans were optimized by analyzing the effects of various time/temperature blanch treatment on the activities of peroxidase and lipoxygenase, the stability of vitamin C and color, and moisture content in immatured soybeans for the purpose of minimizing quality deterioration during frozen storage. Blanching at 96$^{\circ}C$ for 70 sec led to maximum inactivation of lipoxygenase in the immatured soybeans, while my blanching conditions tested in this study were not enough to inactivate peroxidase. Blanching at 82$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec resulted in the highest amount of vitamin C remaining in the immatured soybeans after blanching. Hunter -a/b ratios of immatured soybeans blanched at 82$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec and hue values (ΔE) of the immatured soybeans blanched at 76$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec showed the closest values to those of fresh products. The changes in moisture content of immatures soybeans was not so significant after blanching. In conclusion, it was suggested that immatured soybeans be blanched at 96$^{\circ}C$ for 70 sec to minimize lipoxygenase activity and resulting quality deterioration, while blanching at 82$^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec was recommended to stabilize vitamin C and color.

  • Purpose: In developing new products, reducing performance variation is important for competitiveness factors such as quality, cost, and delivery. This paper aims at evaluating three performance variations; measurement, performance evaluation, and manufacturing variations, and then improving product and process design, focused on paper helicopter making case study. Methods: For measurement system analysis, gage R&R (repeatability and reproducibility), linearity, stability are evaluated. Since gage R&R are not satisfactory, the measurement system is improved by adopting voice memos application of iPhone and providing standard measurement procedure. To evaluate performance variation, product deterioration and environment factor (wind speed) is considered. Since the existing design is sensitive to these noise factors, a new product design is developed, which is proven to be robust to the noise factors. Finally, manufacturing variations are evaluated with five factors which can cause variation in flight time. To reduce the impact of three significant factors, three improvement methods are applied. Results: Three performance variations are evaluated and robust paper helicopter design is presented. Conclusion: To reduce measurement and process variations, improved measurement method and paper helicopter making procedure are proposed. A new product design is also presented which is robust to deterioration and environmental variation. This paper is expected to benefit students and practitioners who want to have hands-on knowledge on new product quality improvement.
