  • This paper deals with experimental investigation of active flow control via synthetic jets using an unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) planform. Fourteen arrays of synthetic jets, mounted along both leading edges, were fully or partially activated to increase aerodynamic efficiency and reduce pitch-up moment. The measurements were carried out using a six-component external balance, a pressure scanner, and tuft flow visualization. It was observed that aerodynamic efficiency (L/D) and pitching moment were clearly affected by the location of jets. In particular, inboard and outboard actuation could effectively increase L/D. Moreover, inboard actuation showed a reduction in the pitch-up, even more than that generated by the full actuation. These results suggest that inboard actuation not only effectively increases L/D but also reduces the pitch-up using only a few actuators.

  • In this paper, electromagnetic topology (EMT) was used to analyze the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of RF circuits including passive and active components. It is difficult to obtain usable results for problems relating to electromagnetic coupling in complex systems when using conventional numerical or experimental methods. Thus it is necessary to find a new methodology for analyzing EMC problems in complicated electromagnetic environments. In order to consider the nonlinear characteristics of active components, a SPICE diode model was used. A power detector circuit and the receiver circuit of a radio control (RC) car were analyzed and experimented in order to verify the validity of this method.

  • We studied on the synthesis of chloromethylated polystyrene as a precursor of optically active polymers for direct resolution of optical isomers. Changing the degree of crosslinking and the kind of crosslinking agents, several polystyrene resin matrices were synthesized. The matrices were chloromethylated with methylal and chlorosulfonic acid as chloromethylating agents. The effects of solvents of various dielectric constants on the chloromethylation were quantitavely examined. We also synthesized chloromethylated polystyrene of macroreticular type that retained large surface area and good physical stability. The differences between the macroreticular type and macroporous type were investigated.

  • The hydraulic acoustic attenuator fur an automotive active suspension system is so highly nonlinear and of high order that the analysis in time-domain has been performed quite little. In this paper, a state-space representation of the dynamics for a hydraulic attenuator was presented utilizing the electrical analogy. And the results of experiment were compared with those of simulation to validate the state-space model proposed. The comparison revealed that the state-space model proposed is practically applicable to estimate the dynamic responses of the hydraulic attenuator in time-domain.

  • Polymer Electrolyte Membrane fuel cell(PEMFC)의 촉매로는 주로 carbon을 지지체로 사용한 Pt/C 흑은 Pt alloy/C을 사용하게 된다. 이때 PEMFC의 상용화에 있어 촉매의 안정성은 상용화 실현에 있어 중요한 요인으로 인식되고 있다. 촉매의 성능 저하는 Pt의 활성 면적(Active surface area)의 감소가 원인으로 얘기되어 지고 있으며 이는 지지체로 사용한 탄소에 나노 크기로 분산되어 있던 Pt 입자가 커지면서 활성 면적이 감소되어 지기 때문이다. 이번 연구에서는 상용 Pt/C를 사용하여 Cyclic Voltammetry(CV)의 장기간 운전 및 다양한 조건 변화를 통하여 Pt입자의 크기 증가에 미치는 요인에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 이와 더불어 Linear Sweep Voltammety(LSV), TEM, 등을 통한 분석이 진행되었다.

  • The catalyst layer of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is a mixture of polymer, carbon, and platinum. The characteristics of the catalyst layer play critical role in determining the performance of the PEM fuel cell. This research investigates the role of catalyst layer composition using a Central Composite Design (CCD) experiment with two factors which are Nafion content and carbon loading while the platinum catalyst surface area is held constant. For each catalyst layer composition, polarization curves are measured to evaluate cell performance at common operating conditions, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) are then applied to investigate the cause of the observed variations in performance. The results show that both Nafion and carbon content significantly affect MEA performance. The ohmic resistance and active catalyst area of the cell do not correlate with catalyst layer composition, and observed variations in the cell resistance and active catalyst area produced changes in performance that were not significant relative to compositions of catalyst layers.

  • The scope of the research is investigation of immune-modulating activities of A. rugosa (Baechohyang) extract was preformed through the screening active constituents using in vitro assays and evaluating anti-inflammatory activity and anti-atherosclerotic activity of the extract and active compound (tilianin) in vivo. In addition, various functional foods using the extract and whole plant was developed. The extract showed strong anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced acute edema mouse model and anti-atherogenic lesion activity in LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor) deficient mouse model. These activities were thought to be resulted from modulation activity of several pathways of inflammation process. Among the main constituents of Baechohyang, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), Phytosterols, oleanolic acid and rosmarinic acid showed anticomplement activity, and PUFA, acacetin and tilianin newly showed potent ICAM-1 expression inhibition activity. The processes of extraction, mixing ratio of additives and storage conditions were established for drinks, granule tea, leaf tea, mixed tea and furigake.

  • This investigation was undertaken to determine the relationship between the amount of polymorphonuclear leukocyte(PMN) enzyme myeloperoxidase(MPO) in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) collected from active or control site and gingival disease status described by clinical indices(gingival index, papillary bleeding index, pocket depth, periotron unit). The results were as follows : 1. MPO activity/site was greater at active sites than at control sites. 2. According to increasing the clinical parameters, MPO/sites was higher statistically (P<0. 01, P<0.05). 3. High MPO(unit/site) groups was higher statistically than low MPO(unit/site) groups in various clinical parameters. 4. Correlation coefficients between MPO(unit/site) and GI, MPO($unit/{\mu}l$ GCF) and periotron unit were 0.4782, -0.5901, respectively.

  • This paper describes a theoretical and experimental investigation into an active vibration isolation system in which four electromagnetic actuators are installed in parallel with each of four passive mounts placed between a piece of equipment and a vibrating base structure. Decentralised velocity feedback control is employed, where each actuator is operated independently by feeding back the absolute equipment velocity at the same location. Although one end of each actuator acts at the sensor positions on the equipment, the control system is not collocated because of the reactive forces acting on the flexible base structure, whose dynamics are strongly coupled with the mounted equipment. Isolation of low frequency vibration is considered where the equipment can be modelled as a rigid body and the mounts as lumped parameter springs and dampers. Control mechanisms are discussed, and some experimental and simulation results are reported.
