The ship movement implies current position, wave, wind, and its other factors. We need to know exactly the location and the shape of the ship and control its motion because of these effects. In order to control the small ship according to the movement of the large ship, the position and shape of the ship should be given first. In this paper we propose the method with which we know the current status of the ship without dynamic equations of the ship. There are several methods to track the system such as optical, radio frequency, radar, camera, and infrared light. We propose the movement of the ship using the GPS absolute axis. But, the genuine error by the GPS itself and the movement of the ship cause the result of the GPS of not being accurate. This paper reduces the error of the location and the shape of the ship and gives the exact values of the ship movements even if the GPS implies some error itself.

This paper presents a wide dynamic range radio-frequency (RF) root-mean-square (RMS) power detector using an automatic gain control (AGC) loop. The AGC loop consists of a variable gain amplifier (VGA), RMS conversion block and gain control block. The VGA exploits dB-linear gain characteristic of the cascade VGA. The proposed circuit utilizes full-wave squaring and generates a DC voltage proportional to the RMS of an input RF signal. The proposed RMS power detector operates from 500MHz to 5GHz. The detecting input signal range is from 0 dBm to -70 dBm or more with a conversion gain of -4.53 mV/dBm. The proposed RMS power detector is designed in a 65-nm 1.2-V CMOS process, and dissipates a power of 5 mW. The total active area is $0.0097mm^2$.

In this paper, The proposed board is developed by EMI compliant Dash Camera with $360^{\circ}$ omni angle. The proposed board is designed by designing DM and CM input noise reduction circuit and applying active EMI filter coupling circuit. The DM and CM input noise reduction circuit design uses a differential op amp circuit to obtain the DM noise coupled to the input signal via the parasitic capacitance(CP). In order to simplify the circuit by applying the active EMI filter coupling circuit, a noise separator is installed to compensate the noise of the EMI source to compensate the CM and DM active filter simultaneously. In order to evaluate the performance of the board for the proposed EMI response, an authorized accreditation body has confirmed that the electromagnetic certification standard for each frequency band is satisfied.

Stress at work has become a serious problem affecting many people of different professions, life situations, and age groups. Stress management should start far before the stress start causing illnesses. In this study, studies were conducted to evaluate stress by measuring the Galvanic skin Response(GRS), Electrocardiograph(ECG), and Electroencephalogram(EEG) generated during images and noise stimuli. The GRS amplitude showed that the stress situation was 27.9 % higher than the baseline. And after the stimulus period, the response time of baseline was longer than 71.6 % than the stress situation. The stress response characteristics of the HRV showed that the rate of change in RMSSD was 16.4 %, and the rate of change of the HF Power was 29.7 %. EEG showed that the frequency band was gradually changed to the ${\theta}$ wave band during stress stimulation. We will be able to utilize image stimuli and noise stimuli as an objective indicator of stress and correlation.

We have analyzed the effect of out-band dispersion in the cascaded fiber Bragg Elating(FBG) based optical add-drop multiplexers(OADM) when bypassed wavelengths contain SCM signals. In order to compute this impairment the dispersion characteristics of FBG have been analytically calculated by solving their coupled wave equations, and the Fourier method is applied to IMD analysis. The out-band dispersion effects over WDM/SCM signals are analyzed under different and common system situations as: ITU channel spacing(100, 50, 25 GHz), channel density parameter, frequency extension of the SCM plan, modulation characteristics, FBG length, etc. From this results, the transport of WDM/SCM signals in future DWDM transport networks could be limited by this effect which has to be taken into account for designing future networks.

ZnO thin films were deposited on Corning 7059 glass substrates to study fundamental properties of films. According to the experimental results, (002) preferred ZnO thin films were grown by purging Ar/O2 mixed gas, but not without oxygen gas. The structure and the orientation of ZnO thin films were much affected by the substrate temperature and rf power. High quality ZnO films were obtained by increasing their values. Optimum deposition parameters were : 300W rf power, 300℃ substrate temperature, Ar/O2=70/30. To characterize SAW propagation properties, IDT was fabricated by etching Al films deposited on diamond/Si wafer with RIE. Measured λ(wavelength) was 24μm and experimental results were well matched with simulation. Center frequency was 250MHz, and the calculated phase velocity of ZnO/ diamond structure was about 6000m/s.

In solar system, Mars which has the most similar environment with the Earth has been steadily studied for the purpose of habitable environment for the future manned exploration and settlement. During the daytime, Martian ionosphere can be used for the ground-ground communications between lander and rover through the reflection of the radio wave from ionosphere. In addition, researches about Martian ionosphere provide the link of revolution of water and atmosphere. Martian ionospheric observations were performed by the occultation experiments onboard Mariner, Mars, Viking series during early Martian explorations as well as recent Mars Global Surveyor. Low frequency radar and plasma analyzer are on board Mars Express and Viking-1, 2 lander obtained the only vertical plasma density profile during their entry phase. In this paper, we studied the characteristics of scientific payloads observing Martian ionosphere and then analyzed the usability of ionospheric research according to the communication and climate on Mars.

One of the most commonly used techniques to strengthen steel reinforced concrete structures is the application of externally bonded patches in the form of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) or recently, textile reinforced cements (TRC). These external patches undertake the tensile stress of bending constraining concrete cracking. Development of full-field inspection methodologies for fracture monitoring are important since the reinforcing layers are not transparent, hindering visual observation of the material condition underneath. In the present study acoustic emission (AE) and digital image correlation (DIC) are applied during four-point bending tests of large beams to follow the damage accumulation. AE helps to determine the onset of fracture as well as the different damage mechanisms through the registered shifts in AE rate, location of active sources and change in waveform parameters. The effect of wave propagation distance, which in large components and in-situ can well mask the original information as emitted by the fracture incidents is also discussed. Simultaneously, crucial information is supplied by DIC concerning the moments of stress release of the patches due to debonding, benchmarking the trends monitored by AE. From the point of view of mechanics, conclusions on the reinforcing contribution of the different repair methodologies are also drawn.

The pumping of coolant in a liquid metal fast reactor may be performed with an annular linear induction electro-magnetic (EM) pump. Linear induction pumps use a traveling magnetic field wave created by poly-phase currents, and the induced currents and their associated magnetic field generate a Lorentz force, whose effect can be the pumping of the liquid metal. The flow behaviors in the pump are very complex, including a time-varying Lorentz force and pressure pulsation, because an induction EM pump has time-varying magnetic fields and the induced convective currents that originate from the flow of the liquid metal. These phenomena lead to an instability problem in the pump arising from the changes of the generated Lorentz forces along the pump's geometry. Therefore, a magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD) analysis is required for the design and operation of a linear induction EM pump. We have developed a time-harmonic 2-dimensional axisymmetry MHD analysis method based on the Maxwell equations. This paper describes the analysis and numerical method for obtaining solutions for some MHD parameters in an induction EM pump. Experimental test results obtained from an induction EM pump of CLIP-150 at the STC "Sintez," D.V. Efremov Institute of Electro-physical Apparatus in St. Petersburg were used to validate the method. In addition, we investigated some characteristics of a linear induction EM pump, such as the effect of the convective current and the double supply frequency (DSF) pressure pulsation. This simple model overestimated the convective eddy current generated from the sodium flow in the pump channel; however, it had a similar tendency for the measured data of the pump performance through a comparison with the experimental data. Considering its simplicity, it could be a base model for designing an EM pump and for evaluating the MHD flow in an EM pump.

The initial NiCuZn synthetic ferrite were acquired from thermally decomposing the metal nitrates $Fe(NO_3)_39H_2O, Zn(NO_3)_26H_2O, Ni(NO_3)_26H_2O, and Cu(NO_3)_23H_2O$ at $150^circ{C}$ for 24 hours, and then we calcined the synthetic powder at $500^circ{C}$, pulverized each of those for 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 hours in a steel ball mill, sintered each at $700^circ{C}$ to $1,000^circ{C}$ for 1 hour, and thus studied their microstructures and electromagnetic properties. We could make the initial specimens chemically bonded in liquidity at a low-temperature $150^circ{C}$, by using the low melting points less than $200^circ{C}$ of the metal nitrates instead of the mechanical ball-mill pulverization, then narrow a distance between the particles into a molecular one, and thus lower the reaction point of sintering by at least $200^circ{C}$ to $300^circ{C}$. Their initial permeability was 50 to 400 and their maximum magnetic induction density and coercive force, 2,400 G and 0.3 Oe to 0.5 Oe respectively, which was similar to those of NiZnCu ferrite synthesized in the conventional process. In the graph of initial permeability by frequencies, a $180^circ{C}$ rotation of the magnetic domains which appears in a broad band of micro-wave before and after the resonance frequency, could be perceived.
