This study designed a new type of loop antenna that is able to detect partial discharges based on microstrip line technology. In the diagnosis of power cables, partial discharge signals are generally produced at a frequency range less than 100MHz because high frequency PD signals are lost along a propagation path in such cables. The new type of loop antenna sensor has been studied using simulation software known as CST microwave studio version 5.0. In partial discharge measurement experiments, a commercial HFCT sensor was used as a reference sensor. Several experiments were made over HFCT and loop antenna sensors for detecting partial discharges on 22.9kV MV XLPE cable. In this study, we showed the loop antenna designed in this study that can be applied as a commercial HFCT sensor.

In this paper, the model to develop the forming process for turbine seal is suggested. And numerical approach for the shape design of the turbine seal is examined. Because of the thin thickness of the turbine seal, the seal is easily fractured in the manufacturing process. The main factors of the seal manufacturing consist of addendum angle and dedendum angle, fillet on the addendum face, number of the gear teeth, sheet initial location and gear initial location, rake and vertical clearance. The structure and shape of seal are modeled using the commercial 3D mechanical design program, CATIA(V5/R20). Also, rolling process to manufacture the turbine seal is analyzed using DEFORM$^{TM}$-3D(V11), commercial forming analysis software and runs under PC workstation. This study focused on the shape design of turbine seal. Through this research, the main factors to make the turbine seal for airplane turbine engine can be obtained. This study results are reflected to the shape design for turbine seal.

PURPOSES : This study is to analysis for benefit and construction cost in underpass for small vehicles. METHODS : The study was performed using the traffic software VISSIM 5.20 for analysis on a variety of traffic conditions and analysed of benefits of changes through analysis of travel speed and travel time after modeling of existing underpass and small vehicle underpass. RESULTS : Results of this study, the benefits will be reduced by the introduction underpass for small vehicles were analyzed because heavy vehicles use the intersection above the underpass. However, it was required economic analysis considering both the benefits reduction and the construction costs reduction because it has the effect of reducing the construction cost. Showed that the difference in benefit changes depending on the v/c and heavy vehicles ratio and construction cost was difference by types of underpass. As a result of performing economic analysis with total benefits and construction cost, it was analyzed to be economical in underpass over a certain size. CONCLUSIONS : The result of this study are expected to be able to contribute to reviewing for feasibility due to the small vehicles underpass introduction and economic analysis. The study is case study to the underpass in Daegu. Therefore, the future requires the calculation of benefits reflect a wider range of traffic conditions and the economic analysis to construction cost calculation for various types of grad separation facilities.

It is well known that serial belief propagation (BP) decoding for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes achieves faster convergence without any increase of decoding complexity per iteration and bit error rate (BER) performance loss than standard parallel BP (PBP) decoding. Serial BP (SBP) decoding, such as horizontal SBP (H-SBP) decoding or vertical SBP (V-SBP) decoding, updates check nodes or variable nodes faster than standard PBP decoding within a single iteration. In this paper, we propose combined horizontal-vertical SBP (CHV-SBP) decoding. By the same reasoning, CHV-SBP decoding updates check nodes or variable nodes faster than SBP decoding within a serialized step in an iteration. CHV-SBP decoding achieves faster convergence than H-SBP or V-SBP decoding. We compare these decoding schemes in details. We also show in simulations that the convergence rate, in iterations, for CHV-SBP decoding is about $\frac{1}{6}$ of that for standard PBP decoding, while the convergence rate for SBP decoding is about $\frac{1}{2}$ of that for standard PBP decoding. In simulations, we use recently proposed generalized LDPC (GLDPC) codes with binary cyclic codes (BCC).

The spectrum weighted responses of various detectors were calculated to provide guidance on the proper selection and use of survey instruments on the basis of their energy response characteristics on the neutron fields. To yield the spectrum weighted response, the detector response functions of 17 neutron-measuring devices were numerically folded with each of the produced calibration neutron spectra through the in-house developed software 'K-SWR'. The detectors' response functions were taken from the IAEA Technical Reports Series No. 403 (TRS-403). The reference neutron fields of 21 kinds with 2 spectra groups with different proportions of thermal and fast neutrons have been produced using neutrons from the $^{241}Am$-Be sources held in a graphite pile, a bare $^{241}Am$-Be source, and a DT neutron generator. Fluence-average energy ($E_{ave}$) varied from 3.8 MeV to 16.9 MeV, and the ambient-dose-equivalent rate [$H^*(10)/h$] varied from 0.99 to 16.5 mSv/h.

This research presented the concept of employing the punch-through diode triggered SCRs (PTTSCR) for low voltage ESD applications such as transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices. In order to demonstrate the better electrical properties, various traditional ESD protection devices, including a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) and Zener diode, were simulated and analyzed by using the TCAD simulation software. The simulation result demonstrates that the novel PTTSCR device has better performance in responding to ESD properties, including DC dynamic resistance and capacitance, compared to SCR and Zener diode. Furthermore, the proposed PTTSCR device has a low reverse leakage current that is below $10^{-12}$ A, a low capacitance of $0.07fF/mm^2$, and low triggering voltage of 8.5 V at $5.6{\times}10^{-5}$ A. The typical properties couple with the holding voltage of 4.8 V, while the novel PTTSCR device is compatible for protecting the low voltage, high speed ESD protection applications. It proves to be good candidates as ultra-low capacitance TVS devices.

In the present study, flow characteristics of turbulent oscillatory flows in the exit region connected to the square-sectional $180^{\circ}$curved duct was investigated experimentally. The experimental study for air flows was conducted to measure velocity profiles, shear stress distributions by using the Laser Doppler Velocimetry(L.D.V) system with the data acquisition and processing system of Rotating Machinery Resolver(R.M.R) and PHASE software. The results obtained from the experimentation were summarized as follows : The critical Reynolds number for a change from transitional oscillatory flow to turbulent oscillatory flow was about 75,000 in the 90 region of dimensionless axial position (x/Dh) which was considered as a fully developed flow region. In the turbulent oscillatory flow, velocity profiles of the inflow period in the entrance region were gradually developed, but those of the outflow period were not changed nearly. Shear stress distributions of turbulent oscillatory flow was gradually increased as the flow proceeds to downstream.

In this paper, modeling of overcurrent relay(OCR) to protect domestic AC electric railway Auto Transformer(AT) feeding system and operation characteristic analysis on overload condition are described. The target system of this paper is actual site where overload trip of circuit breaker occurs frequently. Because this AT feeding system is made of parallel single track which had a load(electric train) respectively, and is connected with only T phase of Scott Transformer. In addition, this system has been feeding 66kV voltage by KEPCO, not 154kV. We focus on protective coordination of Scott Transformer primary side and secondary side OCR for Korea single track AC electrical railway system in operation currently. We modeled single track AT feeding system and OCR. Also we performed faults and overload analysis for verification of OCR's setting values and system modeling. To analyze above mentioned research, we used PSCAD/EMTDC software tool.
