Severe accident analysis has been performed for the Wolsung nuclear power plants in Korea to investigate severe accident phenomena of CANDU-600 reactors as a part of Level II PSA study. The accident sequence analyzed in this paper is loss of active heat sinks(LOAH) which is caused by loss of off-site power, diesel generators, and DC power. ISAAC (Integrated Severe Accident Analysis Code)computer code developed by KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) was used in this analysis. This paper describes the important thermal-hydraulics and source term behaviors in the primary system and inside containment, and the failure mechanism of calandria vessel and containment. In addition, some insights for accident management program(AMP) are also given.

The active-clamped double forward-flyback converter is studied in this paper. The converter reduces the voltage stress of the switches and decreases switching loss, EMI. The energy stored in the magnetic core is transferred to both the input voltage source and the flyback output. This makes it possible the output circuit of the flyback to operate at CCM without complex control circuit. The MOSFET is used at output stage, which decreases switching loss.

This paper considers the problem of performance analysis for the multiplexer, when homogeneous periodic on-off sources are statistically multiplexed. Periodic on-off source model is defined that on-period and off-period are repeated by once in a deterministic periodic time and in on-period, cell arrives with deterministic time interval. In order to reflect periodicity of source model, we consider two multiplexing situation, such as random multiplexing and synchronized multiplexing. In both case, we obtain the overload-period distribution in the multiplexer, and an approximate method using the overload period distribution is suggested for obtaining the CLP(Cell Loss Probability) in the buffer of the multiplexer. A numerical example using MPEG-I real traffic samples and the results are also presented.

Blind speech separation (BSS) is well-known as a powerful technique for speech enhancement in many real world environments. In this paper, we propose a new application of BSS - acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) in a car environment. For this purpose, we develop a block-online BSS algorithm which provides robust separation than a batch version in changing environments with moving speakers. Simulation results using real world recordings show that the block-online BSS algorithm is very robust to speaker movement. When combined with AEC, simulation results using real audio recording in a car confirm the expectation that BSS improves double talk detection and echo suppression.

Most work on cooperative diversity has assumed that the cooperating group (source and partners) and the associated average channel conditions between terminals (source, partners, and destination) are predetermined. In practical situations, however, it is important to develop the efficient algorithms for assigning the terminals with good inter-user channels for cooperating groups. In this paper, we propose the partner assignment algorithm for cooperative diversity in mobile communication systems. The proposed partner assignment algorithm is investigated by using the path loss model for mobile communication systems. Numerical results show that the proposed partner assignment algorithm provides the comparable probability of cooperative transmission to the partner assignment algorithm using exhaustive search. The probability of cooperative transmission increases with the number of users, which gives potential benefits of practical implementation to user cooperation in mobile communication systems.

Non-mass analyzed ion shower doping (ISD) technique with a bucket-type ion source or mass-analyzed ion implantation with a ribbon beam-type has been used for source/drain doping, for LDD (lightly-doped-drain) formation, and for channel doping in fabrication of low-temperature poly-Si thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFT's). We reported an abnormal activation behavior in boron doped poly-Si where reverse annealing, the loss of electrically active boron concentration, was found in the temperature ranges between $400^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$ using isochronal furnace annealing. We also reported reverse annealing behavior of sequential lateral solidification (SLS) poly-Si using isothermal rapid thermal annealing (RTA). We report here the importance of implantation conditions on the dopant activation. Through-doping conditions with higher energies and doses were intentionally chosen to understand reverse annealing behavior. We observed that the implantation condition plays a critical role on dopant activation. We found a certain implantation condition with which the sheet resistance is not changed at all upon activation annealing.

This paper describes a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS RF switch for $3{\sim}5$ GHz UWB band(mode 1). It can improve isolation characteristics between ports by using deep n-well RF devices while their source and body terminals are separated. From the measurement results, the proposed T/R switch is comparative to the on-wafer probing measurement results of the series-shunt T/R switches. When the proposed T/R switch operates as Tx mode, measured insertion loss from Tx to output port is less than 1.5 dB and isolation between Tx and Rx is more than 27 dB for $3{\sim}5$ GHz. Return loss for the Tx port is more than -10 dB and input P1dB is +10 dBm.

In this study, a muffler for the super heavy machinery in the 70 ton class is developed. Developing process relies on experimental and rule of thumb approach. Various muffler internal structures consisting of partition plates, perforated and non-perforated through pipes, and absorbent are tried and compared for the transmission loss performance. Based on the experimental results, the best combination and locations of the internal acoustic components which affects the muffler performance are determined.

Turbulent nonpremixed $H_2$-air jet flames are numerically investigated using the joint PDF model. The reaction progress variable is derived by assuming the radicals 0, H, and OH to be in partial equilibrium and additional species $HO_2$ and $H_2O_2$ in steady state. The model is extended to npnadiabatic flame by introducing additional variable for the transport of enthalpy and radiative source term is calculated using a local, geometry independent model. In terms of flame structure and NO formation, the predicted results are favorably agreed with experimental data. The effects of nonequilibrium chemistry and radiative heat loss on the thermal NO formation are discussed in detail.

Ion pumps continue to be a staple in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications. Since their adoption as a primary UHV pump in the 1960's, it has been known that a variety of particles can emanate from within the ion pump and cause undesirable effects on current measurements and optics components. Historically the solution has been baffling and shielding which results in longer conductance paths to the ion pump. Those solutions can work, but require a larger pump and more vacuum plumbing to compensate for conductance losses. The first step was to fully understand the nature of the particles and their charges. Once those were characterized options for emissions reduction were evaluated. It was determined that an efficient design of shielding near the source of the particle generation site was the most cost effective solution. With a slight modification to the chamber of a small ion pump, internal shielding was developed that reduced the emissions by a factor of up to 1000 times.
