The local geometric properties such as curvatures and normal vectors play important roles for analyzing the local shape of objects in the fields of computer graphics and computer vision. The result of the geometric operations such as mesh simplification and mesh smoothing is dependent on how to compute the curvatures of meshes because there is no exact mathematical definition of curvature at vertices on 3D meshes. Therefore, In this paper, we indicate the fatal error in computing the sectional curvatures of the most previous discrete curvature estimations. Moreover, we present a discrete curvature estimation to overcome the error, which is based on the parabola interpolation and the geometric properties of Bezier curves. Therefore, We can well distinguish between the sharp vertices and the flat ones, so our method may be applied to a variety of geometric operations.

In this paper, a precision inspection technique using CAD/CAI integration is proposed for the parts having very thin and sharp 3 dimensional curve features. The technique begings with feature reconstruction of turbine blades which have 3 dimensional combined feometry, such as splines, and thin circles. The alifnment procedures consistsb of two phases-rough and fine phases : rough phase alignment is based on the conventional 6 point5s probing on the clear cut surfacef, and fine phase alignment is based on the intial measurement on the 3 dimensional curved parts using an lterative measurement feed-back least sequares technique for alignment. Forf the analysis of profile tolerance of parts, the actual measured points are obtained by finding the closet points on the CAD geometry by the developed subdivision technique and the Tschebycheff norm is applied based on iterative fashion, giving accurate profile tolerance value. The developed inspection technique is applied to practical procedures of blade manufacturing and demonstrated high performance.

Three-dimensional turbulent structures in the near field of elliptic jet were experimentally investigated by using a three-color, three-component Laser Doppler Velocimeter. The Reynolds number based on the nozzle exit velocity and nozzle equivalent diameter(De) was about 4*10$^{4}$. The turbulent characteristics of a sharp-edged elliptic nozzle with aspect ratio of 2 were analyzed along major and minor axis at X/De=2,3,5,7 and along the centerline up to X/De=14. Quantities measured at each point with the 3-D LDV system were three orthogonal velocity components, turbulent intensity, skewness, flatness, and Reynolds shear stress. The nondimensional mean velocities coincided well with the Schlichting's empirical curve with going downstream. Elliptic jet of AR=2 had two switching points at about X/De=2 and 16. The turbulent intensity along the minor axis was distributed widely than that along the major axis. In the near field, X/De<5, the Reynolds shear stresses of the inner part of the elliptic jet had negative value, which indicated the enhancement of entrainment toward the inner part.

Just as the vibration modes of a beam are dependent on its end constraints or boundary conditions. Vibration modes of a tire are dependent on its patch and spindle constraints. This dependence is key to understanding the dynamic properties of a tire and is apparent in various analytical and experimental investigations in the literature. One of the main task in a modal analysis is the measurement of the Frequency Response Function (FRFs). Because all the subsequent analysis is based on these FRFs, their quality is critically important in obtaining accurate modal parameter estimates. In rotating systems, FRFs are frequently contaminated by harmonic peaks related to such factors as imbalance, misalignment. This harmonic peaks appear in the FRFs as sharp spikes, which can be erroneously treated in modal curve-fitting procedures as structural modes. The harmonic peaks removal method is demonstrated by application to modal analysis on rotating tires. The results show substantial improvement in FRF quality.

Selection methods of well labelled insulin fractions based on two different criteria were compared to establish an efficient low level RIA of insulin and to elucidate the correlation between the immunoreactivity and the charcoal-adsorptivity of the radioiodine labelled insulin. The results indicated that the selection of well labelled insulin fractions by means of a charcoal-adsorption test is inappropriate. Generally, the distribution of radioactivity antibody-bindability, and charcoal-adsorptivity of the labelled insulin was not consistent with each other. Thus. the selection should be carried out for every labelling batch to get the utmost assay reliability by antibody-bindability but not by charcoal-adsorptivity. By using the well selected labelled insulin fractions based on antibody-binding, a correct assay for a reference serum was possible, and by extending the incubation time upto 96 hrs, a sharp dose response curve could be obtained even in the range of below 5 $\mu$U/ml standard insulin doses.

The adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was carried out using an activated carbon fiber (ACF) filter in an automobile. The adsorption capacities of formaldehyde, toluene, and benzene on an ACF filter were far better than those of a polypropylene (PP) mat filter and combined (PP+activated carbon) mat filter by batch adsorption in a gas bag. In a continuous flow of air containing toluene vapor through an ACF packed bed, the breakpoint time was very long, the length of the unused bed was short, and sharp "S" -type breakthrough curve was plotted soon after breakpoint, showing a narrow mass transfer zone of toluene on the ACF. The adsorption amount of toluene on the ACF filter was proportional to the specific surface area of the ACF; however, the development of mesopores 2-5 nm in size on the ACF was very effective with regard to the adsorption of toluene. The ACF air clarifier filter is strongly recommended to remove VOCs in newly produced automobiles.

The mechanical properties and damage mode of {{{{ {Y}_{2 } {O}_{3} }}-doped tetragonal (Y-TZP) can-didated as biomaterials were performed under indentation stress-strain curve critical load for yield and cracking strength degradation and fatigue behavior with Hertzian indentation tests. This material shows the brittle behavior which is confirmed by indentation stress-strain response. The critical load for cracking(Pc) is much higher than that for yields (Py) indicating crack resistance Strength were strongly dependant on contact area and there were no degradation when the indenter size was ${\gamma}$=3.18 mm suggesting that Y-TZP should be highly damage tolerant to the blunt contacts. Multi-cycle contact were found to be innocuous up to {{{{ {10 }^{6 } }} cycles at 500N and {{{{ {10 }^{5 } }} cycles at 1000N in water. On the other hand contacts at {{{{ {10 }^{6 } }} cycles at 1000 N in water did show some signs of incipient degradation. By contrast contacts with Vickers indenter pro-duced substantial strength losses at much lower loads suggesting that the mechanical integrity of this ma-terial would be compromised by inadvertent sharp contacts.

Performance characteristics of a small propeller fan are numerically investigated solving the continuity and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The Reynolds stresses for turbulent transport are modelled using a k-.epsilon. turbulence model. The present numerical procedure is constructed using the Finite Volume Method with the SIMPLE algorithms. The performance parameters obtained from the calculations are compared with the measured values for the various flow rates. A performance test of the fan shows different characteristics between a radial type at small flow rates and an axial type at large flow rates. Comparisons between the predictions and the measurements show that the predicted results are in good agreement with the measured values and reasonably reproduce the sharp variations of the power and head coefficient around a flow coefficient .PHI.=0.3. These comparisons indicate that the present numerical method is capable of resolving the performance characteristics with reasonable accuracy. At low flow rates, it is found that the flow enters the fan in an axial direction and is discharged radially outward at the tip which happens in the centrifugal fan. The centrifugal effect makes a significant difference in the characteristics of a fan at the low and high values of flow coefficient.

현재 폭넓게 이용되고 있는 STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) 공정에서 active edge 부분에 발생하는 기생 transistor의 subthreshold hump 특성을 제어하는 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 일반적으로 STI 공정을 이용하는 MOSFET에서 active edge 부분의 얇게 형성된 gate oxide, sharp한 active edge 형성, STI gap-fill 공정 중에 생기는 channel dopant out-diffusion은 subthreshold hump 특성의 주된 요인이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 active edge rounding process와 channel dopant compensation의 implantation을 이용하여 subthresold hump 특성 개선을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 STI 공정에 필요한 wafer와 phosphorus를 함유한 wafer를 한 chamber 안에서 auto-doping하는 방법을 이용하여 subthresold hump 특성을 구현하였다. phosphorus를 함유한 wafer에서 빠져나온 phosphorus가 STI 공정중인 wafer로 침투하여, active edge 부분의 channel dopant인 boron 농도를 상대적으로 낮춰 active edge 부분의 가 감소하고 leakage current를 증가시킨다. transistor의 channel length, gate width이고, wafer#No가 클수록 phosphorous를 함유한 wafer까지의 거리는 가까워진다. wafer #01은 hump 특성이 없고, wafer#20은 에서 심한 subthreshold hump 특성을 보였다. channel length 고정, gate width를 ~으로 가변하여 width에 따른 영향을 실험하였다. active 부분에 대한 SCM image로 확인된 phosphorus에 의한 active edge 부분의 boron 농도 감소와 gate width vs curve에서 확인된 phosphorus에 의한 감소가 narrow width로 갈수록 커짐을 확인하였다.
