Hydrogen in hydrogen-electric vehicles has a wide range of combustion and explosion ranges, and is a combustible gas with a very fast flame propagation speed, so it has the risk of leakage, diffusion, ignition, and explosion. The fuel tank has a Thermally active Pressure Relief Device (TPRD) to reduce the risk of explosion and other explosions, and in the event of an accident, hydrogen inside the tank is released outside before an explosion or fire occurs. However, if an accident occurs in a semi-closed space such as an underground parking lot, the flow of air flow is smaller than the open space, which can cause the concentration of hydrogen gas emitted from the TPRD to accumulate above the explosion limit. Therefore, in this study, the leakage rate and concentration of hydrogen over time were analyzed according to the diameter of the nozzle of the TPRD. The diameter of the nozzle was considered to be 1 mm, 2.5 mm and 5 mm, and ccording to the diameter of the nozzle, the concentration of hydrogen in the underground parking lot increases in a faster time with the diameter of the nozzle, and the maximum value is also analyzed to be larger with the diameter of the nozzle. In underground parking lots where air currents are stagnant, hydrogen concentrations above LFL (Lowe Flammability Limit) were analyzed to be distributed around the nozzle, and it was analyzed that they did not exceed UFL (Upper Flammability Limit).

Neuronal ischemia is a pathological process caused by a lack of oxygen (anoxia) and glucose (hypoglycemia), resulting in neuronal death. It is believed that apoptosis is one of the mechanisms involved in ischemic cell death. Neuronal apoptosis is a process characterized by nuclear DNA fragmentation, changes of plasma membrane organization. To elucidate the mechanism of neuronal death following ischemic insult and to develop neuroprotective effects of Daebowonjeon(DBWJ) against ischemic damage, in vitro models are used. In vitro models of cell death have been devloped with pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell, which have become widely used as neuronal models of oxidative stress, trophic factor, serum deprivation and chemical hypoxia. Using a special ischemic device and PC12 cultures, we investigated an in vitro model of ischemia based on combined Oxygen and Glucose Deprivation (OGD) insult, followed by reoxygenation, mimicking the pathological conditions of ischemia. In this study, Daebowonjeon rescued PC12 cells from Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation (OGD)-induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner The nuclear staining of PC12 cells clearly showed that DBWJ attenuated nuclear condensation and fragmentation which represent typical neuronal apoptotic characteristics. DBWJ also prevents the LDH release and induction of Hypoxia Inducing Factor (HIF)-1 by OGD-exposed PC12 cells. Furthermore, DBWJ reduced the activation of polyADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) by OGO-exposed PC12 cells. These results suggest that apoptosis is an important characteristic of OGD-induced neuronal death and that oriental medicine, such as DBWJ, may prevent PC12 cell from OG D-induced neuronal death by inhibiting the apoptotic process.

High efficiency LED device is being concerned due to its high heat loss, and such heat loss will cause a shorter lifespan and lower efficiency. Since there is a demand for the materials that can release heat quickly into the external air, the organic insulating layer was required to be replaced with high thermal conductive materials such as metal or ceramics. Through anodizing the upper layer of Al, the Breakdown Voltage of 3kV was obtained by using an uniform thickness of $60{\mu}M$ aluminum oxide($Al_2O_3$) and was carried out to determine the optimum process conditions when thermal cracking does not occur. Two Ni layers were formed above the layer of $Al_2O_3$ by sputtering deposition and electroplating process, and saccharin was added for the purpose of minimizing the remain stress in electroplating process. The results presented that the 3-layer film including the Ni layer has an adhesive force of 10N and the thermal conductivity for heat dissipation is achieved by 150W/mK level, and leads to improvement about 7 times or above in thermal conductivity, as opposed to the organic insulation layer.

With the major advancement of vehicle-related technologies and services, the demands for the in/out-vehicle service expansion increase significantly. The key importance of the service expansion is to provide various vehicle-centric services in addition to improve the convenience and usability of users with connectivity. Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) gains major attention for small device connectivity and service, and it widens its area to other industries including automotive to advance and diversify its services. In this paper, we investigated the technical direction of the IoT service with the analysis of IoT technologies in the perspective of the vehicle. At first, we analyzed the vehicle and IoT services in each so that we are able to suggest the service design guideline and consideration to release integrated services between vehicle and IoT. Also, we reviewed the cases of few vehicle and home IoT integration services for the major insights and future direction of the integration services.

In this paper, we design and fabricate a de-orbiter using drag-sail and evaluate deployment characteristics. Without employing an actuator to deploy, the de-orbiter is activated by the SMA wire based the release mechanism and driven by the restoring force of the tape-spring. For efficient storage and deployment of drag-sail, an origami method of original ISO flasher is chosen and low priced mylar film is used as the material of the drag-sail. In addition, through the fault tree analysis method which is one of the one-shot device reliability evaluation methods, we confirm the reliability of the de-orbiter(0.997572) and the Roller failure has the highest criticality. Finally, we find feasibility of the proposed de-orbiter through the deployment demonstration of drag-sail.

This stusy was to investigate the marginal fitness of porcelain-fused-to- metal crown after succesive firing cycle. Main variables were the degree of marginal curvature of labiocervical margin and the type of alloy. The exaggerated marginal curvature(EMC) was created by additional reduction at the faciocervical wall of the normallized marginal curvature (NMC)-typed ivorine tooth by using milling machine. The difference in the shape was the mid facial margin was placed 2mm apical to cemento- enamel junction in labial surface. Three types of alloy were high noble, noble, and base metal alloy. Test specimens were divided into 8 groups and each group had 8 specimens. Sixty four ceramometal crowns were made totally. Measurement stages were following degassing, opaquing. body porcelain firing, and glazing, and measuring sites were 4. (midmesial, midfacial, middistal, and midlingual). Digital, travelling measuring microscope (0.5 um precision, Olympus. Japan) was used under ${\times}250$ magnification. Within the limitation of this investigation, it was concluded as belows: 1. The pattern of marginal distortion was varied. Degassing stage was not a specific, causative stage that induce most of total marginal distortion during whole procedure fabricating a ceramometal crown. Body firing stage induced discrepancy relatively more than other firing stages. 2. The specimens that were Ni-based alloy and had EMC were distorted persistently following successive fabricating procedures. But marginal openings were decreased after glazing. 3. The release of metal grinding-induced stress was presumed as a cause that induce marginal distortion. 4. The amount of discrepancies of the labial and lingual margins were greater than that of the mesial and distal margin in the specimen that had EMC. 5. Silver-plated die was not enough to resist abrasion during repeated seating of metal copings on the die-holding device.

Recent high efficiency electronic devices have been found to have heat emission problems. As for LEDs, an excessive increase in the device temperature causes a drop of the luminous efficiency and circuit lifetime. Therefore, heat release in the limited space of such electronic parts is very important. This is a study of the possibility of using a coating of carbon materials as a solution for the thermal emission problem of electronic devices. Powdered carbon materials, cokes, carbon blacks, amorphous graphite, and natural flakes were coated with an organic binder on an aluminum sheet and the subsequent thermal emissivity was measured with an FT-IR spectrometer and was found to be in the range of $5{\sim}20\;{\mu}m$ at $50^{\circ}C$. The emissivity of the carbon materials coated on the aluminum sheet was shown to be over 0.8 and varied according to carbon type. The maximum thermal emissivity on the carbon black coated-aluminum surface was shown to be 0.877. The emissivity of the anodized aluminum sheets that were used as heat releasing materials of the electronic parts was reported to be in the range of 0.7~0.8. Therefore, the use of a coating of carbon material can be a potential solution that facillitates heat dissipation for electronic parts.

Hydrogel coated ring shaped ocular inserts (containing the antibiotic, tylosin tartrate) were used in an evaluation of the effectiveness of polymeric ocular drug release devices for treating infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis. The in vivo experiments represent the first experiments using hydrogel ocular inserts containing an antibiotic for treating infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis. In the infection tests, ten calves. were challenged with $2.4{\times}10^8{\sim}1.6{\times}10^9$ Moraxella bovis (a bacterium) colonies per eye following two ten minute ultraviolet radiation eye preconditioning exposures. Ninety five percent of the eyes (19 of 20 eyes) were successfully infected by this method. All infected eyes were monitored for the presence of the bacteria quantitiatively, and clinical observations were made for 14 days. The test was performed by three consecutive steps: 1) inoculation with 2 ultraviolet (UV) radiations, 2) growth of bacterial colonies and 3) treatment with medicated ring-shaped devices. The first. bacteriological measurements after 2 UV exposures were performed at day 3 of the tests. At day 7 after inoculation of both eyes of a calf with M. bovis, a medicated or a non-medicated ring-shaped device was inserted into each eye of a calf. The eye receiving the non-medicated ring was taken as a control for comparison with the eye that received a medicated ring. During the next 7 day period following a medicated ring insertion, the number of bacteria in the treated eyes dropped dramatically to negligible levels (0 to 30 colony forming units/swab), while the control eyes which received a non-medicated ring still exhibited a relatively high number of bacteria ($10^3\;to\;10^6$ colony forming units/swab). The number of bacteria was significantly reduced by the antibiotic released from the medicated ocular insert.

This paper describes a countermeasure of electric utilities and customer equipment in order to minimize an effect of sensitive electrical and electronic equipment on the voltage disturbances. After being studied, some schemes to solve were discovered. Firstly, in the electric utilities, the reduction of frequency and influence of voltage drop's time are not easy to realize because of the standpoint of effect and economy. Secondly, in the customer equipment, there are some equipment to minimize the voltage disturbances, Such as an UPSs, a noise suppressors and a power conditioners. One of them should be established on the computer control and automated systems, the electromagnetic switch of delay-release type should be adopted on the electromagnetic switch, the controlling circuit should be adopted on the variable speed motors which is being considered a countermeasure for a momentary under-voltage drops, the luminaire adhering a instantaneous restrike device should be adopted on the HID lamp. And also, the scheme of extending a setting time of relay on the undervoltage relay and the forming method of sequence which is automatic reclosing at this time of instantaneous suspension of an electric supply have been studied.
