The IGRINS (Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrometer) is a high resolution wide-band infrared spectrograph developed by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and the University of Texas at Austin (UT). Immersion grating is a key component of IGRINS, which disperses the input ray by using a Silicon material with a lithography technology. Opto-mechanical mount for the immersion grating is important to keep the high spectral resolution and the optical alignment in a cold temperature of $130{\pm}0.06K$. The optical performance of immersion grating can maintain within the de-center tolerance of ${\pm}0.05mm$ and the tip-tilt tolerance of ${\pm}1.5arcmin$. The mount mechanism utilizes the flexure and the kinematic support design to satisfy the requirement and the operation condition. When the IGRINS system is cooled down to a cold temperature, three flexures compensate the thermal contraction stress due to the different material between the immersion grating and the mounting part(Aluminum 6061). They also support the immersion grating by an appropriate preload. Thermal stability is controlled by a copper strap with proper dimensions and a heater. Generally structural and thermal analysis was performed to confirm the mount mechanism. This talk presents the opto-mechanical mount design of the immersion grating of IGRINS.

Bacillus sp. BS2 showing strong fibrinolytic activity was isolated from sea squirt (munggae) jeotgal, a traditional Korean fermented seafood. BS2 was identified as B. velezensis by molecular biological methods. B. velezensis BS2 grows well at 15% NaCl and at $10^{\circ}C$. When B. velezensis BS2 was cultivated in TSB broth for 96 h at $37^{\circ}C$, the culture showed the highest fibrinolytic activity ($131.15mU/{\mu}l$) at 96 h. Three bands of 27, 35 and 60 kDa were observed from culture supernatant by SDS-PAGE, and fibrin zymography showed that the major fibrinolytic protein was the 27 kDa band. The gene (aprEBS2) encoding the major fibrinolytic protein was cloned, and overexpressed in heterologous hosts, B. subtilis WB600 and E. coli BL21 (DE3). B. subtilis transformant showed 1.5-fold higher fibrinolytic activity than B. velezensis BS2. Overproduced AprEBS2 in E. coli was purified by affinity chromatography. The optimum pH and temperature were pH 8.0 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ were 0.15 mM and $39.68{\mu}M/l/min$, respectively, when N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA was used as the substrate. AprEBS2 has strong ${\alpha}$-fibrinogenase and moderate ${\beta}$-fibrinogenase activity. Considering its high fibrinolytic activity, significant salt tolerance, and ability to grow at $10^{\circ}C$, B. velezensis BS2 can be used as a starter for jeotgal.

고온 내성 오차드그라스를 개발하기 위하여, 재조합 DgP23 유전자에 CaMV 35S 프로모터를 붙여 발현벡터를 제작, Agrobacterium 형질전환 방법으로 오차드그라스 형질전환체를 생산하였다. Genomic DNA를 분리하여 PCR 및 Southern blot 분석을 실시한 결과, PCR 분석에서 DgP23 유전자의 DNA band가 관찰되었고, Southern blot 분석에서도 X-ray film 상에 hybridization signal이 관찰되어, 오차드그라스 genome에 DgP23 유전자의 도입이 확인되었으며, wild type 및 empty vector control에서는 DNA band 및 hybridization signal이 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 RT-PCR 및 이들 산물의 Southern blot 분석 결과, DgP23 유전자의 정상적인 발현이 확인되었다. 형질전환 오차드그라스를 온실 및 포장에서 재배하며 생육특성을 조사한 결과, 비형질전환체와 비교하여 형태적 차이는 나타내지 않았다. 실험실 조건에서 고온내성을 조사한 결과, 고온내성이 확인되지 않았기 때문에 형질전환 종자를 생산하여 포장조건에서 고온내성을 검정할 계획이며, 재배시험에서는 내성이 강한 개체를 선발할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

아날로그 신호를 입력받아서 실시간으로 처리하기 위해서는 빠른 곱셈 연산회로와 고속 ADC(A/D converter) 회로가 필요하며 이를 위하여 Double-base Number System(DBNS)이 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. DBNS는 2와 3을 밑수로 이용하는 시스템으로서 이진 곱셈기와 비교할 때 곱셈 처리가 매우 빠르며, 칩 면적을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 저소비전력의 장점을 갖고 있다. 그러나 DBNS의 고유특성 때문에 변환오차가 발생하며, 디지털 필터의 구조로 인하여 오차가 연산결과에 누적되어 기존에 사용하던 2진수 방식에 비하여 차단 주파수의 S/N 특성이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 필터 계수에 대한 오차를 분석하여 ADC의 엔코더를 비선형으로 설계함으로써 DBNS의 누적오차를 상쇄시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 엔코더 회로만이 수정되었으므로 DBNS의 장점은 그대로 유지된다. 제안한 ADC 엔코더가 비선형임에도 불구하고 -70dB의 차단 주파수 특성을 갖도록 설계한 FIR 필터와 비교하면, 기존의 DBNS 엔코더의 결과는 -35dB를 얻을 수 있었지만, 본 연구에서 제안된 비선형 DBNS 엔코더는 -45dB의 S/N로 -10dB의 향상을 이룰 수 있었다.

The optimization techniques have been applied to versatile engineering problems for reducing manufacturing cost and for automatic design. The deterministic approaches or op5imization neglect the effects on uncertainties of design variables. The uncertainties include variation or perturbation such as tolerance band. The optimum may be useless when the constraints considering worst cases of design variables can not be satisfied, which results from constraint variation. The variation of design variables can also give rise to drastic change of performances. The two issues are related to constraint feasibility and insensitive performance. Robust design suggested in the present study is developed to gain an optimum insensitive to variation on design variables within feasible region. The multiobjective function is composed to the mean and the standard deviation of original objective function, while the constraints are supplemented by adding penalty term to original constraints. This method has a advantage that the second derivatives of the constraints are not required. A mathematical problem and several standard problems for structural optimization are solved to check out the usefulness of the suggested method.

A huge number of carbon steel piping components installed in the secondary system of nuclear power plants are exposed to aging mechanisms such as FAC (Flow-Accelerated Corrosion), Cavitation, Flashing, and LDIE (Liquid Droplet Impingement Erosion). Those aging mechanisms can lead to thinning of the piping components. To manage the wall thinning degradation, most of utilities in the world predict the wall thinning rate based on the computational program such as CHECWORKS, COMSY, and BRT-CICERO, evaluate the UT (Ultrasonic Test) data, and determine next inspection timing, repair or replacement, if needed. There are several evaluation methods, such as band, blanket, and strip methods, commonly used for determining the wear of piping components from single UT inspection data. It has been identified that those single UT evaluation methods not only do not consider the manufacturing features of pipes, but also may exclude the data of the most thinned point when determining the representative wear rate of piping components. This paper describes a newly developed single UT evaluation method, E-Cross method, for solving above problems and introduces application examples for several pipes and elbows. It was identified that the E-Cross method using the length and width of UT data excluded the most thinned points appropriate as the single UT evaluation method for thinned piping components.

Refineries and chemical plants with isolated power systems that have a limited power supply are more susceptible to voltage changes from disturbances compared to power systems connected with a power company. Furthermore, most loads in such cases are induction motor loads, and therefore, transient voltage characteristics when starting a high-capacity motor must be examined. In general, high-capacity motors are customized appropriately to the load performance curve by the manufacturer during the construction of an industrial plant. Subsequently, when complying with the voltage drop permitted by international standards during the design process, power supply equipment such as transformers and generators is overdesigned. Therefore, a novel analysis is necessary on standards for startup and constraint voltage drops, as well as on identifying the voltage drop limitations for starting high-capacity motors in refineries and chemical plants with isolated power systems. In this study, field tests on an industrial plant were conducted, and simulations modeled under conditions identical to those of the field test system were performed using the general-purpose program ETAP in order to compare the results.

Electromagnetic wave absorbers for anechoic chamber are needed to broaden the useful frequency bandwidth, reduce the thickness, and decrease the weight. There are various absorbers proposed for the above conditions, but they could not decisively solve it the alone requirements. The Electromagnetic wave absorber made by a conventional ferrite tile has, for example, broadened the useful frequency bandwidth by the way of forming air layer(practically use urethane foam, etc.) on the ferrite tile. Therefore, an air layer is formed between a reflection plate and a sintered Ni-Zn ferrite tile of 7 mm in thickness, which has reflectivity less than -20 dB from 30 MHz to 600 MHz in bandwidth. Accordingly, in this paper, a broadened electromagnetic wave absorber will be designed, which has the reflection characteristics less than -20 dB from 30 MHz to 6000 MHz in the bandwidth. Then we will design a super broadband electromagnetic wave absorber by inserting square Ferrite Cylinders Type with the thickness less than 11 m and with the frequency band from 30 MHz to 6000 MHz under the above tolerance limits. The purpose of this research is on the development of a universal anechoic chamber for measuring radiated electromagnetic wave or immunity of electronic equipments, GTEM-cell, wall material for prevention TV ghost, etc.

In this paper block based blind secure gray image watermarking scheme based on discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition is proposed. In devising the proposed scheme, security is given high importance along with other two requirements: robustness and imperceptibility. The use of discrete wavelet transform not only improves robustness but the selection of bands with high tolerance towards noise caused an improvement in terms of imperceptibility. The robustness further improved due to the involvement of singular vectors along with singular values in watermark embedding and extraction process. Finally, to achieve security, the selected DWT band is decomposed into smaller blocks and random blocks are chosen for modification. Furthermore, the elements of left and right singular vectors of selected blocks are chosen based on their dependence upon each other for watermark embedding. Various experiments using different images as host and watermark were conducted to examine and validate the proposed technique. Additionally, the proposed technique is tested against various attacks like compression, affine transformation, cropping, translation, X shearing, scaling, Y shearing, filtering, blurring, different kinds of noises, histogram equalization, rotation, etc. Lastly, the proposed technique is compared with state-of-the-art watermarking techniques and their comparison shows significant improvement of proposed scheme over existing techniques.
