  • The back projection histogram method has been proposed as the method to construct an image from waves reflected from a buried object for subsurface radar. This method is compose of two phases, i.e., a back projection image construction process and a back projection image superposition process. A simulation analysis of this method has been studied. In this paper, an experimental study is demonstrated in air as the homogeneous Held using three cylinders as buried objects.

  • The rotordynamic fluid forces acting on a closed type impeller in whirling motion were measured and the influence of the clearance geometry on the stability of the impeller was examined. At small positive whirling speed, the rotordynamic forces acted as destabilizing forces for all casings. A small clearance between the shroud of the impeller and the casing caused large fluid force, but did not change the destabilizing region. Radial grooves in the clearance were effective for reducing the fluid forces and destabilizing region due to the reduction of the circumferential velocity without the deterioration of the pump performance. A rotating phenomenon like a rotating stall of the impeller occurred at low flow rate and the resonance between it and the whirling motion led to a sudden increase in force at the whirling speed ratio of 0.7.

  • Nanofishing enabled us to stretch a single polymer chain with picking it at its two modified termini using atomic force microscope (AFM). Stress-strain curves obtained to date had been the result on slow pulling events and therefore observed phenomena had been interpreted as quasi-static responses. In this study, we extended the capability of nanofishing to the phenomena far from equilibrium state by giving much faster pulling speeds. We could observe a momental increase entanglement and a successive stress relaxation.

  • Atomic force microscope (AFM) enables us to stretch a single polymer chain by picking it at its two modified termini. Using this method called "nanofishing," we have studied statistical properties of single polymer chains. A force-extention curve obtained for a polystyrene with thiol termini in a cyclohexane showed a good agreement with a worm-like chain (WLC) model, and thus gave microscopic information about entropic elasticity. In this report, the experiments were performed at wide-range temperatures, resulting in wide-range solvent qualities from poor to good solvent condition. The temperature dependence of statistical properties of polystyrene was examined. The coil-strand transformation realized in a poor solvent was also discussed.

  • We propose an effective wavelength converter method using frequency shifter for photonic node, and examine the scalability of Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks. The ana1ysis is examined based on signal to noise ratio (SNR) for present 2.4 and 10 Gbit/s Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) networks, and next generation 2.7 and 10.8 Gbit/s Optical Transport Networks (OTN) format The proposed 100 channels GMPLS networks using optical frequency shifters are shown to be applicable to transmission network spanning over 1206 km(24 nodes) in 2.7 Gbit/s trunk networks. Transmission over more than 310 km (6 nodes) is also possible in 2.7 Gbit/s Metroporitan Area Networks(MAN).

  • This paper presents an innovative prototype of a new conceptual electromagnetic induction-based fluid heating appliance using voltage-fed series capacitor-compensated load resonant high-frequency IGBT inverter with a phase-shifted PWM and a power factor correction schemes. Its operating characteristics in steady-state and dynamic state are illustrated including unique features and evaluated on the basis of its computer simulation and experimental results of 10kw breadboard appliance developed for hot water producer and superheated steamer.

  • 증강현실 (AR: Augmented Reality)은 카메라를 통하여 현실의 공간에 가상의 물체를 삽입하는 기술로 사용자에게 컴퓨터상에서 정보를 보강해 줌으로서 사용자가 카메라로 보이는 환경에 대한 추가적인 정보를 취득 할 수 있게 해주는 분야이다. 가상환경(Virtual Reality) 및 혼합영상(Mixed Reality)을 이용해 보다 사실감 있는 가상의 영상을 일상 생활에 접목하려는 기술들이 부각되며 활발한 연구가 이루어 지고 있는데 이러한 시도는 일상생활의 다양한 분야에 적용이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 카메라로 취득된 화면상에 사용자의 움직임, 즉 사용자가 대상되는 마커를 삽입하고 컨트롤할 수 있는 음악플레이어를 구현한다. 사용자가 키보드나 마우스 등의 입력장치가 아닌 카메라에서 보여지는 마커의 움직임으로 원하는 음악을 플레이 할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 실시간으로 입력되는 카메라상의 프레임에서 대상되는 마커의 움직임을 찾고 그 대상물체 위에 정보를 증강시켜주고, 그 음악을 화면상에 사용자의 마커 움직임을 통해서 제어하는 방법이다.
