Proton irradiation technology was used for improvement of switching characteristics of the PT-IGBT. Proton irradiation was carried out at 5.56 MeV energy with $1{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ doze from the back side of the wafer. Characterization of the device was performed by I-V, breakdown voltage, threshold voltage, and turn-off delay time measurement. For irradiated device by 5.56 MeV energy, the breakdown voltage and the threshold voltage were 730 V and 6.5~6.6 V, respectively. The turn-off time has been reduced to 170 ns, which was original $6\;{\mu}s$ for the un-irradiated device.

The aim of this study was to find out the differences of biomechanical factors from touching down the vaulting board to landing when techniques of 1/1Turn, stretched, and Tucked were performed on the old vaulting horse and on the new vaulting table. Three national representative men gymnasts were sampled for this study. Three dimension motion analyses by means of six Sony PD-150 video cameras with the velocity of 60 fps were used. As a result of analyzing the kinetic data from two kind of vaulting table, the following conclusions were made. 1. There was not significant differences of angular momentum between the old and the new vaulting table in all three techniques except the phase of stepping on the vaulting board and contacting the vaulting horse in the Tucked technique. IN the two phases above, the angular momentum in the new vaulting table was greater than that of the old vaulting horse. 2. There were few significant differences between the old and the new vaulting horses in the horizontal and vertical reaction force according to techniques when stepping was performed. However, it appeared tendency that the horizontal and vertical reaction force in the new vaulting table was a little greater than that of the old vaulting horse when the 1/1Turn, the Stretched and the Tucked were performed.

Proton irradiation technology was used for improvement of switching characteristics of the PT-IGBT. Proton irradiation was carried out at 5.56 MeV energy with $1{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ doze from the back side of the wafer. The I-V, breakdown voltage, and turn-off delay time of the device were analyzed and compared with those of un-irradiated device and e-beam irradiated device which was conventional method for minority carrier lifetime reduction. For proton irradiated device, the breakdown voltage and the on-state voltage were 733 V and 1.85 V which were originally 749 V and 1.25 V, respectively. The turn-off time has been reduced to 170 ns, which was originally $6{\mu}s$ for the un-irradiated device. The proton irradiated device was superior to e-beam irradiated device for the breakdown voltage and the on-state voltage which were 698 V and 1.95 V, respectively, nevertheless turn-off time of proton irradiated device was reduced to about 60 % compared to that of the e-beam irradiated device.

TPCLT(Twice Per Cycle Left-turn) operation reduces this left-turn 'spill-over' problem on an as needed basis by servicing the protected left-turn movement as a leading and a lagging left-turn. In this study, to evaluate the effectiveness of TPCLT applied to three-legged signalized intersection in Korea, the analysis was carried out using VISSIM and SSAM model analysis. The study was implemented by three cases which are TPCLT operation, non-TPCLT operation and half-cycle operation using VISSIM program. According to the 9-left-turn volume scenario, total delay and travel times of each case was analyzed by VISSIM program. The study result shows more effective applying TPCLT operaion in the present ~ +50% scenario area at the intersection in terms of total delay.

As the interest in traffic safety has been increasing recently, social movement is being made to reduce the number of traffic accidents and the view on improving the mobility of the existing roads is being converted into on establishing traffic safety as a priority. The increase of traffic accidents related to an intersection in a state that traffic accidents are decreasing overall may suggests the necessity to investigate the specific causes. In addition, we have to consider them when establishing the measures against traffic accidents in a intersection by investigating and analyzing the influences and factors that may affect traffic accidents. To induce the accident severity model, we collected the factors that affect accidents and then applied the Poisson Regression Model among nonlinear regression analysis by verifying the distribution of variables. As a result of the analysis, it turned out that the volume of traffic on main roads, the right turn ratio on sub-roads, the number of ways out on sub-roads, the number of exclusive roads for a left turn, the signals for a right turn on main roads, and an intersect angle were the factors that affect the accident severity.

Hem quality can be determined mainly by turn-down and roll-in. Turn-down, that is created by the elastic recovery, can't be easily detected and measured since it is usually as small as 0.03 m. This study is focused on the precise evaluation of the hemming defects through analytical and experimetal approaches, and on the investigation of the influence of process parameters on the final hem quality. Implicit finite element analysis of plane-strain hemming process is performed by using a commercial code ABAQUS/Standard. Experiment and measurement is also carried out for steel and aluminium sheet metals, and the results are compared with those of analysis.

In this paper, we analyse and present mechanical dynamic characteristics of a micro-machined vibrating silicon ring gyroscope which can measure rates of turn about three orthogonal axes. The ring gyroscope has a ring connected to the gyroscope main body by support-ligaments which are arranged with cyclic symmetry. The natural modes of its vibration can be distinguished into the in-plane motion and the out-of-plane motion which are coupled by the gyro-effect due to the rotation of the gyroscope main body.

Lifting lugs are frequently used in shipyard to transportate and turn over blocks. As the shipbuilding technology develops, blocks has become bigger and bigger, and block management technology takes a more important role in shipbuilding to enhance the productivity. For the sake of economic as well as safe design of lug structure, more rigorous analysis is needed. In this study in order to investigate the strength characteristics of two type of lug, that is, D and T type lugs, non-linear strength analysis has been carried out to compare the ultimate strength characteristics of two types of lug varying in-plane and out-of-plane loading directions. Based on the present numerical analysis results, it can be drawn that T type lug is superior to D type lug from view points of ultimate strength and deformation.

A turn-buckle inserted between tension members sustaining structural loads in the suspension structure system is a device capable of adjusting the tensile force. However, it is difficult to measure the tensile force that is applied to the tension member with the use of a conventional turn-buckle. So a measurable turn-buckle for tensile force measurement has been developed to improve on such a problem. This study focuses on the prevention of a local yielding as well as the maximization of yielding load mentioned in previous studies. A new type of turn-buckle for the measurement to practical use is suggested over the tentative purpose. For this purpose, the ABAQUS analysis of specimens based on theoretical analysis and tests are carried out. The differences among the results of the theoretical analysis, ABAQUS analysis, and the test were insignificant.

We have studied the characteristics of oxide VCSELS when their off-current and on-current are kept small in order to find out the possibility of low current operation. A large signal equivalent circuit model has been used. By comparing measured data and simulation results, the parameters of the large signal models are obtained including the capacitances. Using the large signal model, we have investigated the effects of capacitance and on/off currents upon the turn-on/turn-off characteristics and eye diagram. According to the experiment and simulation, the depletion capacitance, which has been neglected, is found to have significant influence on the him-on delay and eye-diagram. Therefore, for high speed and low current operation, the reduction of the depletion capacitance is essential.
