In this paper, a novel resonator using ring type DGS is proposed for improvement of phase noise characteristics that is weak point of oscillator using planar type microstrip line resonator, and oscillator for 5.8 GHz band is designed using proposed DGS resonator. The ring type DGS resonator is composed of DGS cell etched on ground plane under $50{\Omega}$ microstrip line. At the fundamental frequency of 5.8 GHz, 7.6 dBm output power and -82.7 dBc@100kHz phase noise have been measured for oscillator with ring type DGS resonator. We designed the voltage controlled oscillator using proposed the DGS resonator with varactor diodes placed between gaps of DGS. Thus, due to its simple fabrication process and planar type, it is expected that the technique in this paper can be widely used for low phase noise oscillators for both MIC and MMIC applications.

Generally, when we apply zernike moments value for matching, we can use those moments value obtained from projecting image information under circumscribed circle to zernike basis function. However, the problem is that the power of discrimination can be reduced because hand images include lots of overlapped information due to its special characteristic. On the other hand, when distinguishing hand poses, information in specific area of image information except for overlapped information can increase the power of discrimination. In this paper, in order to solve problems like those, we design R3 ring mask by combining image obtained from R2 ring mask, which can weight information of the power of discrimination and image obtained from R1 ring mask, which eliminate the overlapped information. The moments which are obtained by R3 ring mask decrease operational time by reducing dimension through principle component analysis. In order to confirm the superiority of the suggested method, we conducted some experiments by comparing our method to other method using seven different hand poses.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated a hybrid ring coupler to prove the fabrication possibility of various passive components, applying millimeter wave using newly proposed transmission lines, i.e. BAMLs. The characteristics of the fabricated hybrid ing coupler were a the S31(coupling) of 3.58 dB, the S21(thru) of 3.31 dB at the 60 GHz center frequency, the S11(return loss) over 16.17 dB, S41(isolation) over 55 dB at 61 GHz, and the phase difference between port 2 and port 3 of $180{\pm}loat$ 60GHz. In order to reduce the size of hybrid ring coupler, we designed the hybrid ring coupler which inserts a slow wave structure. With this structure, we were able to reduce the hybrid ring coupler by $33\%$ area.

A water tube with detonating cord was devised to control the blast dust. Water diffusion experiments with different detonating cord positions were conducted during the series of experiments to optimize the design parameters of the tube. Images from high speed camera were analyzed to evaluate the results. AUTODYN program was adopted to simulate the diffusion process of water and compared with the images. Diffusion of water shows cross flow in case of external charge while the internal case shows radial flow. A bubble ring was formed during the numerical analysis of internal charge case as occurred in underwater blast. An additional bubble ring was formed by the reflection pressure from the ground. And the Weber number was determined as sufficient for spray atomization performance of the water tube.

Since CC-NUMA architecture has to access remote memory, the interconnection network determines the performance of the CC-NUMA system. Bus which has been used as a popular interconnection network has many limits in a large-scale system because of the limited physical scalability and bandwidth. The dual ring interconnection network, composed of high-speed point-to-point links, is made to resolve the defects of the bus for the large-scale system. However, it also has a problem, in that the response latency is rapidly increased when many nodes are attached to the snooping based CC-NUMA system with the dual ring. In this paper, we propose a ring architecture with repeater nodes in order to overcome the problem of the dual ring on a snooping based CC-NUMA system, and design a repeater node adapted to this architecture. We will also analyze the effects of proposed architecture on the system performance and the response latency by using a probability-driven simulator.

Landslides are known as gravitational mass movements that can carry the flow materials ranging in size from clay to boulders. The various types of landslides are differentiated by rate and depositional features. Indeed, flow characteristics are observed from very slow-moving landslides (e.g., mud slide and mud flow) to very fast-moving landslides (e.g., debris avalanches and debris flows). From a geomechanical point of view, shear-rate-dependent shear strength should be examined in landslides. This paper presents the design of advanced ring-shear apparatus to measure the undrained shear strength of debris flow materials in Korea. As updated from conventional ring-shear apparatus, this apparatus can evaluate the shear strength under different conditions of saturation, drainage and consolidation. We also briefly discussed on the ring shear apparatus for enforcing sealing and rotation control. For the materials with sands and gravels, an undrained ring-shear test was carried out simulating the undrained loading process that takes place in the pre-existing slip surface. We have observed typical evolution of shear strength that found in the literature. This paper presents the research background and expected results from the ring-shear apparatus. At high shear speed, a temporary liquefaction and grain-crushing occurred in the sliding zone may take an important role in the long-runout landslide motion. Strength in rheology can be also determined in post-failure dynamics using ring-shear apparatus and be utilized in debris flow mobility.

In the past several years, many systems which adopted ring topology with high-speed unidirectional point-to-point links have emerged to overcome the limit of bus for interconnection network of clustered multiprocessor system. However, rapid increase of processor speed and performance improvement of local bus and memory system limit scalability of system with point-to-point link of standard bandwidth. Therefore, necessity to extend bandwidth is emphasized. In this paper, we adopt PANDA system as base model, which is clustering-based multiprocessor system. By simulating a model adopting commercial processor and local bus specification, we show that point-to-point link is bottleneck of system performance, and bandwidth expansion by more than 200% is needed. To expand bandwidth of interconnection network, it needs excessive design cost and time to develop new point-to-point link with doubled bandwidth. As an alternative to double bandwidth, we propose several ways to implement dual ring -simple dual ring, transaction-separated dual ring, direction-separated dual ring- by using off-the-shelf point-to-point links with IEEE standard bandwidth. We analyze pros. and cons. of each model compared with doubled-bandwidth single ring by simulation.

This paper presents statistical models developed to study the influence of key mix design parameters on the properties of lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) with expanded shale (ESH) aggregates. Twenty LWSCC mixtures are designed and tested, where responses (properties) are evaluated to analyze influence of mix design parameters and develop the models. Such responses included slump flow diameter, V-funnel flow time, J-ring flow diameter, J-ring height difference, L-box ratio, filling capacity, sieve segregation, unit weight and compressive strength. The developed models are valid for mixes with 0.30-0.40 water-to-binder ratio, high range water reducing admixture of 0.3-1.2 % (by total content of binder) and total binder content of $410-550kg/m^3$. The models are able to identify the influential mix design parameters and their interactions which can be useful to reduce the test protocol needed for proportioning of LWSCCs. Three industrial class ESH-LWSCC mixtures are developed using statistical models and their performance is validated through test results with good agreement. The developed ESH-LWSCC mixtures are able to satisfy the European EFNARC criteria for self-consolidating concrete.

The breech system can be considered as a pressure vessel with an internal plug under high explosive pressure. The system consists of a breech block(internal plug) whose front surface subjects to pressure, and a breech ring(pressure vessel). There is the geometric discontinuity around roots of connection parts and then stress concentration is introduced due to pressure, where contact effect may be ignored because contact plane between two equipments is parallel ideally, Generally high stress concentration phenomena shorten the life cycle of the mechanical system. It is well known that shock load is much more harmful on safety of the system than static load. In this present paper, several geometric design variables which may affect stress condition on the system are chosen and the parametric study on the design variables is carried using commercial FEM codes. Finally, the obtained results in the single lug breech system are applied to design the 3 lugs breech system. The 3 lugs breech system can reduce the maximum stress level.
