This paper presents a DC-DC buck converter which uses a sleep control to improve the power efficiency in a few mW light load condition. The sleep control turns off analog controller building blocks to reduce the static power losses during the off-duty period of pulse width modulation. For verification, a buck converter has been implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The power efficiency has been improved from 76.7% to 82.5% with a 1.2 mW load. The maximum power efficiency is 95% with a 9 mW load.

Recently, the affiliates of the Ministry of Information and Communication have been conducting a performance evaluation study on IT policy projects, based on the performance evaluation model of the U.S. Office of Management and Budgets, with regard to investment in computerization. The performance evaluation model for the policy project could provide the objective information required for the planning, development, and operation of the policy project. However, the performance of the most policy project is likely to be evaluated using the subjective evaluation criteria of evaluators. Therefore, this case study evaluates the relative efficiency using DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) in order to improve the performance evaluation method of the digital pioneer' project implemented by the Korea IT Industry Promotion Agency. The improvement value of inefficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) was measured by a static efficiency analysis. The measured value will suggest a objective viewpoint of the performance between DMUs to evaluators. In doing so, it will show an appropriate direction for the policy project to be evaluated successfully.

The purpose of this study is to numerically evaluate the collection performance of an ultra-small Lapple cyclone separator for 1~10 ㎛ particles introduced at flow rate of 10 L/min. The numerical evaluation reveals that a static pressure drop occurs more dominantly inside of the cyclone separator than at the inlet and the vortex finder. Also a fluid flow in the cyclone separator is confirmed to have a helical structure heading upward in the center of cyclone separator and downward in the vicinity of wall. The investigation on dust collection efficiency of the Lapple cyclone separator shows that particles of 4~8 ㎛ diameters are collected at very lower efficiency than other sizes. Then, the cut-point diameter of the cyclone separator is 1.48 ㎛.

사각형 판 유한요소의 정적 성능을 여러 가지 문제에 대한 수치 실험을 통해 비교 분석하였다. Kirchhoff이론과 Mindlin이론에 근거한 변위요소, 평형요소, Mixed 또는 Hybrid요소들을 대상으로 문헌조사를 통해 우수요소를 선정하였으며 사각형 판 문제, 마름모형 판 문제, 원형 판 문제, 외팔보형 판 문제를 다양한 격자, 경계조건에 대해 풀어 해를 비교하였다. Kirchhoff요소에서는 12자유도요소로 Armanios의 요소, 24 자유도 요소로 Watkins요소의 거동이 우수하였으나 전반적으로 Mindlin요소에 비해 거동이 떨어진다. Mindlin요소 중에서는 Hinton의 요소가 효율성, 수렴성, 신뢰성의 면에서 가장 우수하나 마름모형 판 문제나 뒤틀린 격자 문제등에서는 거동이 좋지 않으므로 계속 연구할 필요가 있다.

The World Health Organization(WHO, 1998) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 1992) recommended $2{\mu}\;guranium/{\ell}$ in drinking water as a guideline. The Korea Institute for Environmental Research recently reported that the radioactive pollution in ground water was almost negligible In Korea$(1999\~2002)$. Cs were cast into beads(2mm in wet form) and treated with hexamethylene diisocyanate for stability in acidic aqueous solution through cross-linking of the beads surfaces. The removal study was carried out in a static batch system and a flow system. In the static system, a certain amount of sample water was confined in a vessel and beads(dry weight 0.5g) were packed into it in order to adsorb uranium for a certain period of time. Afterwards the remaining uranium in water vessel was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The effective pH range was 4 to 8. The smaller the size of beads, the better the removal efficiency. Furthemore, the lower the flow rates, the higher the removal efficiency. The results showed that chitosan beads can be effectively used for the removal of uranium contained in water.

In a flexible multi-body dynamic system the typical topological optimization method for structures cannot be directly applied, as the stiffness varies with position. In this paper, the topological optimization of the flexible multi-body dynamic system is converted into structural optimization using the equivalent static load method. First, the actual boundary conditions of the control system and the approximate stiffness curve of the mechanism are obtained from a flexible multi-body dynamical simulation. Second, the finite element models are built using the absolute nodal coordination for different positions according to the stiffness curve. For efficiency, the static reanalysis method is utilized to solve these finite element equilibrium equations. Specifically, the finite element equilibrium equations of key points in the stiffness curve are fully solved as the initial solution, and the following equilibrium equations are solved using a reanalysis method with an error controlled epsilon algorithm. In order to identify the efficiency of the elements, a non-dimensional measurement is introduced. Finally, an improved evolutional structural optimization (ESO) method is used to solve the optimization problem. The presented method is applied to the optimal design of a die bonder. The numerical results show that the presented method is practical and efficient when optimizing the design of the mechanism.

Navier-Stokes simulation of the flow in a micro viscous pump is carried out. The micro viscous pump consists of a rotating circular rotor placed in a two dimensional channel. All simulation is carried out by using a finite volume approach, at the Reynolds number of 0.5, to study the performance of the micro viscous pump. Length of channel of the pump is varied to simulate the effects of the pumping load. Numerical solutions show that the net flow of the pump is realized by two counter rotating vortices formed on both sides of the rotor. The volume flow rate of the pump is decreased as length of the channel is increased, while the static pressure difference across the rotor is increased. The static pressure difference across the rotor is observed to be inversely proportional to the volume flow rate as inertia effects are negligibly small. The efficiency of the pump is found to reach a maximum when two counter rotating vortices on both sides of the rotor becomes to merge forming an outer enveloping vortex.

An efficient and reliable subspace iteration algorithm using the block algorithm is proposed. The block algorithm is the method dividing eigenpairs into several blocks when a lot of eigenpairs are required. One of the key for the faster convergence is carefully selected initial vectors. As the initial vectors, the proposed method uses the modified Ritz vectors for guaranteering all the required eigenpairs and the quasi-static Ritz vectors for accelerating convergency of high frequency eigenvectors. Applying the quasi-static Ritz vectors, a shift is always required, and the proper shift based on the geometric average is proposed. To maximize efficiency, this paper estimates the proper number of blocks based on the theoretical amount of calculation in the subspace iteration. And it also considers the problems generated in the process of combining various algorithms and the solutions to the problems. Several numerical experiments show that the proposed subspace iteration algorithm is very efficient, reliable ,and accurate.

5MW급 발전용 가스터빈의 주요 구성품 중 압축기에서의 성능시험 및 해석을 위해 측정 파라미터와 그 파라미터를 계측하기 위한 센서류를 선정하고자 한다. 축류압축기의 경우 각 단의 케이싱에서 정압 분포를 평균하여 계측하고, 내부 유동장에서 Kiel 온도관을 이용하여 전압 및 전온도 분포를 계측한다. 원심압축기의 경우 임펠러 출구의 허브면과 팁면에서의 정압 분포는 일반적으로 상당한 차이가 존재하므로 각 면에서 정압을 측정하여 평균하고, 디퓨저 내부와 디스월러 내부에서의 정압 분포를 계측하기 위해 한 피치에서 5개의 유선을 따라 10 곳에서 정압을 측정하고자 한다. 또한 압축기 내 유동특성과 동익-정익간의 상호작용을 고찰하기 위해 5공 피토관을 이용하여 내부 상세유동을 계측한다.
