The in-core neutron Flux Mapping System in a pressurized water reactor yields information on the neutron flux distribution in the reactor core at selected core locations by means of movable detectors. The obtained data are used to verify the reactor core design parameters. The detector cables run through guide tubes(thimbles), and typically thirty-six to fifty-eight thimbles are allocated in the reactor depending on the number of fuel assemblies. These thimbles are inserted into nuclear fuel assemblies through conduits connected from the bottom of the reactor vessel to a seal table. During the plant refueling outage period, the thimbles are withdrawn up to 4m from the seal table, the height of a nuclear fuel. In spite of their importance, however, the thimble handling work has been performed by only human operators. In addition, its efficiency is very low due to narrow working environments on the seal table, thereby resulting in the excessive radiation exposure of maintenance personnel. To solve these problems, a new thimble handling equipment for in-core flux mapping system was developed, and we confirmed its effectiveness through experiments.

In order to improve the function of a door seal, its section design technique is discussed in this study, Its roles are prevention of an inflow of dusts, noise interception, insulation, wateproof, and the vibroisolating action which reduces vibration between the body and the door of a car while running, and the buffer action which sustain the proper reacting force as the door is closed. In this study, the optimal cross section of a door seal is designed using nonlinear finite element analysis (commercial finete element analysis program EASi-SEAL) and tables of orthogonal arralys with respect to relations between door and door seal to secure the satisfactory airtight property with the minimum force to shut the door.

Recently, mastering processes for high density optical disc such as Blu-ray disc rely on electron beams, which are operable in only vacuum. In the mastering process, one of the most important tasks is to design precision stages for providing precise positioning of the works with respect to the source in a high vacuum environment. In this paper, we have developed a precision rotation table usable in the electron beam mastering. The rotation table adopted air bearings for a high positioning repeatability and velocity stability. The air leakage from the air bearings has been minimized by employing the differential exhaust scheme using three steps of air drain. The design parameters such as diameters of exhaust lines, seal lengths, and pumping speeds were decided according to the optimization method using genetic algorithm. The performance on the vacuum level of the rotation table was evaluated experimentally and theoretically. The results indicate that a vacuum level of $10^{-4}$ Pa is achieved with operation of air bearings in a vacuum chamber, which is sufficient for the electron beam mastering.

Recently, the waterproofing performance of high-voltage connectors in automotive vehicles has attracted increased interest. In this study, an optimal cross-sectional shape was derived to obtain uniform contact pressure and strain by considering stress relaxation problems caused by initial tension when mounting a seal. A high strain of 52.1 was distributed in the round region, owing to excessive initial tension. The finite element method (FEM) analysis indicated that the strain corresponding to the optimal initial tensile was 11. We adopted six design factors to optimize the seal cross-section and three factors as the main design factors. An orthogonal arrangement table was prepared using Minitab. FEM analyses of 16 study models were conducted to determine the optimized model. The contact pressure of the optimization model is the most evenly distributed while satisfying the waterproof performance of 0.47 MPa. Compared to the initial model, the difference in strain decreases from 35.5% to 19.6%. Finally, the derived cross-sectional shape can reduce the strain of the round region by 33.8% and the differences in the contact pressure at the upper and lower surfaces by 42% and 76%, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of apical seal produced by ultrasonic instrumentation. 120 extracted, permanent single rooted teeth were randomly divided into 6 groups of 20 teeth and root canals were enlarged & obturated according to Table I. After canal obturation, the obturated teeth were immersed in 2.5 % Methylene blue for 72 hrs. at $37^{\circ}C$ incubator and longitudinally sectioned. The apical sealing ability was evaluated by measuring the degree of dye penetration into the canal. The results were as follows: 1. All groups showed varying depth of dye penetration. 2. There were no significant differences between Group I and N, Group II and V, Group III and VI. (P>0.05) 3. Regardless of obturation method, there were no significant differences between hand instrumented group and ultrasonic instrumented group.(P>0.05).

According to the national space program in Korea, is satellites will be launch into space up to 2015. Especially, KARI is going to develope of its own a high resolution camera of less than 1m to be mounted on next Multipurpose Satellite. When performing testing of large spacecraft or hardware that will be launched into orbit, it is necessary to conduct a testing with space-simulated environment. To achieve this requirement, thermal vacuum chamber is generally used. KARI has been developed a very Large Thermal Vacuum Chamber(LTVC) from 2003 to accomodate future space program, such as KOMPSAT, COMS, and Launch vehicles. This new facility will be used to qualify the first self developed High Resolution Camera, which will be loaded on KOMPSAT-3. To perform an optical test for space camera, it is necessary to provide vibration free environment. Thus the vibration responses on the optical table due to external vibration should be minimized by using a special isolation system. In this paper, we propose the concept design of vibration isolation system for the development of the high resolution camera.

연구 배경 : 국내의 비흡연 성인에서의 폐활량측정법 검사지표들의 추정정상치에 대한 연구는 대상수가 적거나 일부 검사지표들에 국한되어 보고되었고, 마성호흡기 증상이 없는 흡연자에서 흡연이 폐활량측정법 검사지표들에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 체계적인 연구는 없었다. 이에 저자들은 비흡연 성년 한국인에서 폐활량측정법 검사지표들의 추정정상치 산출공식을 구하고 호흡기 증상이 없는 흡연 남자 성인에서 과거 흡연량이 폐활량측정법 검사지표에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 방법 : 1990년 6월부터 1991년 12월까지 서울중앙병원 종합건강진단센터를 방문한 19,945명중, 호흡기 증상 및 호흡기질환력이 없고 흉부방사선촬영소견이 정상인 18세이상의 비흡연 여자 763명, 비흡연남자 308명과 흡연남자 353명을 대상으로 노력성 호기곡선을 이용한 폐활량측정법검사를 실시하였다. 폐활량측정법은 dry rolling seal 방식의 System 2130(Sensor Medics, USA)을 이용하여 미국 흉부학회 기준에 의거하여 실시하였으며, 성별에 따라 피검자의 연령, 신장 및 체중으로부터 다중회귀분석을 통해 폐활량측정법의 추정정상치 산출공석을 구하였고 흡연의 영향은 흡연량에 따라 10 pack-years 이상 84명, 10~20 pack-years 191명, 20 pack-years이상 108명 세군으로 나누어 각각을 가변수(dummy variable)로 처리한 후, 비흡연 남자군을 포함하여 다중회귀분석을 하여 p-value로써 평가하였다. 결과: 1) 주요 폐활량측정법 검사지표들의 연령, 신장 및 체중으로부터 구한 추정정상치 산출 공식은 Table 8, 9와 같다. 2) 폐활량측정법 검사지표들에 대한 흡연의 영향을 흡연남성군의 과거 흡연량에 따라 조사한 결과 10 pack-years 미만의 흡연은 영향이 없었고, 10~20 pack-years는 $FEV_1$/FVC와 $FEF_{25{\sim}75%}$에, 20 pack-years 이상의 흡연은 $FEV_1$과 $FEV_1$/FVC에 대해 유의한 역상관관계를 보였다. 결론 : 1) 비흡연 성년 한국인에서 피검자들의 연령, 신장 및 체중으로부터 노력성호기곡선을 이용한 폐활량측정법 검사지표들의 추정정상치를 산출하는 회귀방정식을 구하였다. 2) 남녀 모두 연령과는 역상관관계를, 신장과는 정상관관계를 보였고 체중과도 상관관계를 보이는 검사지표도 있었으며, 특히 $FEV_1$/FVC(%)는 신장과는 상관관계를 보이지 않았으며 체중과 역상관관계를 보였다. 3) 본 연구에서 산출한 회귀방정식에 본대상군의 평균연령과 신장을 대입한 FVC 및 $FEV_1$의 추정정상치가 서양인에서의 공식에 대입한 경우보다 높은 수치를 보였다. 4) 폐활량측정법 검사지표에 대한 흡연의 영향을 무증상 흡연 남성군의 흡연력에 따라 분류조사한 결과 10 pack-year 미만의 흡연은 영향이 없었고, 10~20 pack-year의 흡연은 $FEV_1$/FVC 및 $FEF_{25{\sim}75%}$, $FEF_{25%}$, $FEF_{75%}$에 대해, 20 pack-year 이상의 흡연은 $FEV_1$ 및 $FEV_1/FEV$에 대해 유의한 역상관관계를 보였다. 5) 신장의 영향을 보정한 $FEV_1$($FEV_1$/height)은 남성 흡연군에서 연령에 따른 상기지표의 감소율이 남성 비흡연군보다 유의하게 높았다(P=0.0001).
