  • This paper describes the design and development of a hovering AUV constructed at Cheju National University and analyses the dynamic performance of the vehicle using simulation programs. The main purpose of this AUV is to carry out fundamental tests in its station keeping, attitude control, and desired position tracking. Its configuration is similar to the general ROV appearance for underwater works and its dimensions are 0.75m*0.5m*0.5m. It has 4 thrusters of 450 watts for longitudinal/lateral/vertical propulsion and is equipped with a pressure sensor for measuring water depth and a magnetic compass for measuring heading angle. The navigation of the vehicle is controlled by an on-board Pentium III-class computer, which runs with the help of the Windows XP operating system. These give us an appropriate environment for developing various algorithms needed for developing and advancing Hovering AUV.

  • 궤도상에 올려진 위성들은 인형의 궤도 운행을 하게 된다. 그러나 지구가 완전한 구형이 아니고 태양과 달의 인력이 작용하여 위성에 섭동이 발생하게 된다. 그리고 무중력 상태의 우주이므로 태양풍이나 미세 운석 그리고 위성체 내부의 가스 누출이나 내부의 토크 변화에 의해 위성 자세에 조금의 변동을 야기한다. 통신 위성의 경우 지상의 한 지점을 계속 향하고 있어야 하므로 정기적인 자세제어가 필요하다. 위성의 섭동에 의해 EWSK(East-West station keeping)나 NSSK(North-South station keeping)를 하기 위해 추력 모델은 단일 $\Delta$$\upsilon$기동이나 회전 세차 운동(spin precession maneuver)을 지원해야 한다. 위성은 주어진 임무를 수행하는데 필요한 $\Delta$$\upsilon$기동을 위해 적절한 성능의 추력기와 임무기간 동안 사용할 적절한 양의 추진제를 탑재하고 있다. 지상에서 필요한 임무를 수행하기 위해 위성에 지령을 하였을 때, 추력기가 정상작동을 하였는지 그리고 잔류 추진제가 어느 정도 인지를 정확히 알 수 있어야 한다.

  • For a geostationary satellite east-west station keeping maneuvers must control both the mean longitude and the orbit eccentricity simultaneously. The effect on the orbit eccentricity of maneuvers may be reprensented by a phse plane of $e_{c}$ verse $e_{s}$, since these eccentricity elements give the projection of the orbit center onto the equatorial plane in units of the semimajor axis. The evolution of the mean longitude and the orbit eccentricity are obtained.

  • For a geostationary satellite north-south keeping maneuver must control the inclination elements. The effects on the orbit plane of maneuvers and natural perturbations may be represented by a plane plot of Wc versus, Ws, since these inclination elements represent the projection of the major axis and the inclination elements are obtained.

  • The cold chain system in South-East Asia is requiring to maintain freshness of refrigerated or frozen food. In this study, Thermal storage system using Phase change material (PCM) was developed and evaluated its performance about temperature and cold keeping time. For various application of cold chain system, we developed portable cold box, cold roll container and freezing station. Keeping time on laboratory tests of portable cold box in case of refrigeration and freezing were 6 hours and 4 hours, respectively. Cold container was developed to 2.5 ton scale. Evaluation in Indonesia, it was showed to keep the setting temperature of $-10^{\circ}C$ over 40 hours at $30^{\circ}C$ of ambient air. Freezing station using PCM was kept over 24 hours under $-20^{\circ}C$.

  • This paper applied one of the well-known optimal control theory, namely, linear quadratic regulator(LQR), to the station-keeping maneuvers(SKM) for a geostationary satellite. The boundary conditions to transfer the system with a good accuracy at a terminal time were based upon the predicted orbital data which are created due to the Earth's non-uniform mass distribution's effect during 14 days and due to luni-solar effect during 28 days. Through the linearization of the nonlinear system equation with respect to reference orbit and the numerical integration of Riccati equation, the optimal trajectories and the corresponding control law have been obtained by using LQR. From the comparison of ${\Delta}V$ obtained by LQR with the ${\Delta}V$ obtained anatically by geometric method, Station Keeping Maneuvers(SKM) via LQR may provide comparable results to a real system. Furthermore it will demonstrate the possibility in fuel optimization and life extension of geostationary satellite.

  • This study aims to analyze architectural characteristics of railway station facilities which were built with development of railroads from Japanese Colonial Period to 1950's. To achieve this goals, 7 railway stations in Gyeongju area that are worth preserving were set up as research targets. For this study, I analyzed literature of the railway station and drawings which the KORAL Daegu Branch is keeping. Railway stations without a construction drawing investigated a direct visit. After analyzing the railway station facilities, the architectural properties such as plan, elevation and section have been identified. The results are as follows. First, Each modern railway station is usually consisted of waiting room and office, and ancillary spaces have been added. Over the years, however, the space was expanded horizontally. In that case, the structure and finish materials have been changed, like now. Second, Most of the roof shape is 'Matbae'(gable roof), especially Gyeongju station and Bulguksa Station are 'Woojingak roof. The roof structure is truss structure, especially as Pratt and Scissors type, but Gyeongju Station's structure is a reinforced concrete. Third, main doorway of waiting room is located in the center of the front gable. However, small stations like 'Ahwa' and 'Ipsil' station to ensure the passengers' waiting area are placed next to the office area.

  • Eleuthero(Eleutherococcus senticosus Maxim.) cortex is well known as a herb medicine for tonic. This study was performed to improve the quality of dried E. senticosus cortex. Investigation of quality factor and contents of efficient compounds under different steaming times and drying methods were performed to determine the proper processing and drying conditions of Eleuthero cortex harvested on March in annual stems. The proper steaming time for peeling bark to make high quality Eleuthero cortex took less than 20 mins. Eleutheroside B and E contents among drying methods were significantly different at 5% level DMRT. The $50^{\circ}C$ heat drying was the most advisable condition for drying, when drying and keeping contents of effective compounds.
