An electromagnetic flowmeter, based on a magnetic induction principle; provides an obstructionless flowmeter that essentially averages the velocity distribution over the pipe cross-sectional area. To predict the installation effects, the flowmeter installed near $90^{\circ}$ elbow is simulated by using a commercial code FLUENT(ver. 4.48) for the laminar flow field and a code developed through this study for magnetic field. The installation effects of the flowmeter are estimated by varying a number of the dependent parameters such as the radius of the elbow(Rc=1D, 1.5D, 2D, 3D), the location, Reynolds number and the direction of electrodes plane(${\varphi}$). It was found that all these factors affect the performance of the electromagnetic flowmeter significantly. The longer installation distance from the elbow is not always optimal to minimize the error, and also there exists an optimal location to install the EMF for a minimum error. Especially the flow signal with the electrodes plane direction of ${\varphi}=45^{\circ}$ is shown to yield smallest measurement error regardless of the Reynolds number and the curvature of elbow.

The turbocharger is an essential component to realize the engine down-sizing. The moment of inertia of turbocharger rotor is an important parameter with respect to acceleration performance of the vehicle. It can be calculated from the CAD software based the geometry data and the material properties. But the accurate value of the inertia of turbocharger rotor must be measured through the experimental method. In this study, the measurement of moment of inertia of turbocharger rotor for 2.0 L spark-ignition engine was carried out. First, an experimental equipment using a trifilar method was designed and fabricated. Some optical devices, that is, photo sensor, counter, convex lens, etc, were used to increase the accuracy of the measurement. Second, error sensitivity for the equipment was analyzed. The error of period time and the radius can give big affects to the accuracy of the moment of inertia. When the amount of error of these two were each 1.0 %, maximum error of the moment of inertia was under 3.0 %. Third, the calibration for the equipment was performed using a calibration rotor which has similar shape to turbine rotor but simple. Calculated value from CAD software and measured one for the calibration rotor were compared. The total error of the equipment and the measurement is about 1.3 %. This result shows that the equipment can give the good result with resonable accuracy. Finally the moment of inertia of the turbine rotor and compressor wheel were measured. The coefficient of variations, the ratio of standard deviation to mean value, were reasonably small at 0.57 % and 0.73 % respectively. Therefore this equipment is suitable for the measurement of the moment of inertia of the turbine rotor and compressor wheel.

광소자의 소형화와 집적화 노력에 따라 광도파로의 도파폭과 곡률 반경이 작아지면서, 그 경계조건을 만족하는 도파모드와 전파상수의 변화가 심하게 되었다. 특히, 도파폭의 좁아지면서 제작 공정상의 폭조절 오차한계 내의 작은 변화에도 전파상수가 크게 변화하게 되어, 배열도파로(Arrayed Waveguide Grating, AWG)소자에서는 각 도파로 진행광의 위상이 설계와 심하게 달라지고 소자의 성능에 영향이 커지게 되었다. 광소자의 소형화에 따라 심각해지는 이러한 근사설계 오차에 의한 영향을 정량적으로 분석하고 대처하기 위해, 여기서는 유효굴절률법(Effective Index Method)과 해석적 함수해(Analytic Solution Method)를 이요하여 여러 도파로 구조를 해석하여 전파특성 변수를 얻어내었다. 또한, 이를 적용하여 자체 제작한 고기능 전산시늉기를 통해 각종 InP-, Silica-AWG 소자의 성능을 모사하였다. 모사 결과는 실제 제작된 전형적인 소자와 비교하여 매우 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며, Ridge-type Inp-AWG 소자의 경우, 도파폭의 허용공차가 0.02$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이내로 개선될 때, AWG 소자의 신호대잡음비(SNR)가 약 -25dB 이상 가능하게 되며 Rib-type Silica-AWG 소자의 경우는 도파폭 허용공차가 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도이기만 해도 약 -30dB 이상 가능한 것으로 모사되었다.

Recently, force measurement systems are commonly used in many industrial fields and the precision of the measurement system is getting more important as the industry needs more precise tools and in struments to make high quality products. However, a high precision force measurement system is hard to make unless we know precisely the causes, quality and quantity of measurement errors in advance. In this work, many possible mechanical causes of measurement errors are reviewed including ratio of length to diameter of sensing part, radius of contact area, radius of bearing part, ratio of material properties and change of boundary conditions. Also, the measurement errors are analyzed by nonlinear finite element method and the nonlinear behavior of the errors are investigated. The results can be used to design force measurement systems and expected to be very useful especially for compact type load cells.

Proof correction to the equation in the third paragraph of the DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION has not been carried faithfully to the published version of the paper. The corrected equation should read ${\approx}10^{-3}\;M_8^4/^3(N_{\ast}/10^6\;pc^{-3})({\sigma}/300 km\;s^{-l})^{-l}(r/r_t)\;yr^{-1}$, where Ms is the mass of the SMBH in units of $10^8\;M_{\bigodot}$, $\sigma$ is the virial velocity of the stars, $r_t$ is the tidal radius of the SMBH. This estimates the frequency that a star would pass within a sphere with the radius r from the SMBH, rather than the frequency of the tidal disruption event. Therefore, it increases with the mass of the SMBH. However, the loss cone effect should also be taken into account, which reduces the actual event rate. Here, we adopted a factor of one hundred to consider the deficiency from the isotrophic rate. The authors sincerely regret this error.

Flow forming is an eco-friendly and high-efficiency plastic deformation process with fewer chips during a process which is specifically used to manufacture seamless tubular products like tire wheels, rocket motor cases etc. On the development of mortar barrel using Inconel718 tube, some flow formed products had dimensional errors on their thickness. In this study, our purpose is to optimize the process conditions with the smallest dimensional error. In order to find an optimum process condition, 2D axisymmetric FEM simulation analyses with Taguchi method were conducted. Geometric variables (attack angle, flatting angle, roller nose radius) and operating parameters (depth of forming, feed rate) are considered as control factors. Forward flow forming with single roller was first analyzed to determine the effective factors using AFDEX software and attack angle of the roller was identified as the most influential factor. Also, the nose radius of the rollers was confirmed as a significant factor in multi-rollers flow forming system. The effect of rollers offset values are also studied and finally, we proposed optimal conditions to improve the accuracy of flow forming process with Inconel718 tube for mortar barrel manufacturing.

최근 컴퓨터비전을 이용하여 부품의 치수를 정확하게 그리고 빠르게 측정하고자 하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 컴퓨터비전의 경우 조명이 완벽하지 않으면 노이즈가 많이 발생하는 경우가 있다. 실제 산업현장에서는 기계들 간의 간섭에 의해 완벽한 조명을 구현하기 어렵기 때문에 노이즈를 피하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 튜브의 내경 반지름 측정 시 문제가 되는 노이즈를 효과적으로 제거하고 반지름 측정의 정밀도를 향상시키기 위한 컴퓨터 비전 측정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 표준편차가 최소가 되는 중심점을 이용하여 노이즈를 제거하고 이 때 발생되는 원호상의 불연속 문제는 원호 연결 알고리즘으로 해결하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 노이즈가 추가된 원과 실제 튜브의 영상을 이용한 실험을 통해 증명하였다. 15%의 수준의 노이즈가 추가된 원의 반경을 구하는 실험에서도 1.4% 수준의 오차를 보여주어 본 알고리즘의 유용성을 확인할 수 있었다.

An ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) with Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is applied for Typhoon Wukong (200610) to investigate the performance of ensemble forecasts depending on experimental configurations of the EnKF. In addition, the ensemble sensitivity analysis is applied to the forecast and analysis ensembles generated in EnKF, to investigate the possibility of using the ensemble sensitivity analysis as the adaptive observation guidance. Various experimental configurations are tested by changing model error, ensemble size, assimilation time window, covariance relaxation, and covariance localization in EnKF. First of all, experiments using different physical parameterization scheme for each ensemble member show less root mean square error compared to those using single physics for all the forecast ensemble members, which implies that considering the model error is beneficial to get better forecasts. A larger number of ensembles are also beneficial than a smaller number of ensembles. For the assimilation time window, the experiment using less frequent window shows better results than that using more frequent window, which is associated with the availability of observational data in this study. Therefore, incorporating model error, larger ensemble size, and less frequent assimilation window into the EnKF is beneficial to get better prediction of Typhoon Wukong (200610). The covariance relaxation and localization are relatively less beneficial to the forecasts compared to those factors mentioned above. The ensemble sensitivity analysis shows that the sensitive regions for adaptive observations can be determined by the sensitivity of the forecast measure of interest to the initial ensembles. In addition, the sensitivities calculated by the ensemble sensitivity analysis can be explained by dynamical relationships established among wind, temperature, and pressure.

The Barnes scheme is used in Digital Forecast System (DFS) of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) for real-time analysis. This scheme is an objective analysis scheme with a distance-dependent weighted average. It has been widely used for mesoscale analyses in limited geographic areas. The isotropic Gaussian weight function with a constant effective radius might not be suitable for certain conditions. In particular, the analysis error can be increased for stations located near mountains. The terrain of South Korea is covered with mountains and wide plains that are between successive mountain ranges. Thus, it is needed to consider the terrain effect with the information of elevations for each station. In order to improve the accuracy of the temperature objective analysis, we modified the weight function which is dependent on a distance and elevation in the Barnes scheme. We compared the results from the Barnes scheme used in the DFS (referred to CTL) with the new scheme (referred to EXP) during a year of 2009 in this study. The analysis error of the temperature field was verified by the root-mean-square-error (RMSE), mean error (ME), and Priestley skill score (PSS) at the DFS observation stations which is not used in objective analysis. The verification result shows that the RMSE and ME values are 1.68 and -0.41 in CTL and 1.42 and -0.16 in EXP, respectively. In aspect of spatial verification, we found that the RSME and ME values of EXP decreased in the vicinity of Jirisan (Mt. Jiri) and Taebaek Mountains. This indicates that the new scheme performed better in temperature verification during the year 2009 than the previous scheme.

본 논문에서는 홍채 영역 가운데 .개인의 특징을 가장 잘 나타내는 부분을 선택하여 특징을 추출함으로써 최소한의 홍채 영역을 사용하는 빠른 개인 식별 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안 알고리즘은 먼저 흑백 CCD 카메라를 통하여 눈 영상을 획득하고, 최소 탐색 영역을 갖는 개선된 원형 에지 검출기(circular edge detector)에 의해 결정된 동공 및 홍채의 중심과 반지름을 이용하여 홍채 영역을 추출하였다. 그 다음으로 동공 중심과 홍채 중심 축 사이에서 원의 중심과 반지름을 변화시켜가면서 홍채 영역을 여러 개의 원으로 나누고 원주 상에 나타나는 일차원 홍채 신호들 가운데 개인의 특징을 가장 잘 반영하는 부분을 선택한 후 그 영역에 일차원 Gator 필터를 적용하여 홍채 특징을 추출하였다. 개인 식별은 등록 과정을 통해 미리 저장되어 있는 홍채 신호와 개인 식별을 위하여 입력된 홍채 신호 사이의 상관도(correlation) 값을 기준으로 이루어졌다. 판단을 위한 상관도에 대한 임계치 설정은 실험을 통하여 얻은 확률 분포를 이용하여 Type Ⅰ에 러율과 Type Ⅱ 에러율의 평균이 최소가 되는 점으로 결정하였다. 그 결과로 제안 시스템의 성능은 평균 에러율이 약 5.2%로 나타났다.
