Radioactive Corrosion Products (CRUD) which are generated by the neutron activation of general corrosion products at the nuclear power plant are the major source of occupational radiation exposure. Most of the CRUD has a characteristic of showing strong ferrimagnetisms. Along with the new development and production of permanent magnet (rare earth magnet) which generates much stronger magnetic field than the conventional magnet, new type of magnetic filter that can separate CRUD efficiently and eventually reduce radiation exposure of personnel at nuclear power plant is suggested. This separator consists of inner and outer magnet assemblies, coolant channel and container surrounding the outer magnet assembly. The rotational motion of the inner and outer permanent magnet assemblies surrounding the coolant channel by driving motor system produces moving alternating magnetic fields in the coolant channel. The CRUD can be separated from the coolant by the moving alternating magnetic field. This study describes the results of preliminary experiment performed with the different flow rates of coolant and rotation velocities of magnet assemblies. This new magnetic filter shows better performance results of filtering the magnetite at coolant (water). How rates, rotating velocities of magnet assemblies and particle sizes turn out to be very important design parameters.

In order to improve the surface uniformity and the conduction properties of the fabricated YBCO thick films, a system that applies alternating field vertically to the EPD field has been developed for the first time and applied to the electrophoretic deposition process. The applied alternating electric field caused a force to be exerted on each YBCO particle and resulted in a shaking of the particle in the direction of applied electric field, accomplishing a uniform particle orientation. The usual commercial electrical power was used for the vertically applied alternating voltage and the induced electric field was 25-120 V/cm at 60Hz. The thick film fabricated by the method developed in this paper showed better surface uniformity without crack and porosity and improved film characteristics such as critical temperature ($T_{c,zero}$ : 90 K) and critical current density ($2354\;A/cm^2$). Therefore, it is expected that the shaky-aligned electrophoretic deposition method can be used to fabricate superconductor films through a simpler process and at less expense.

본 논문에서는 새로운 교번 등화기와 이를 조정하기 위한 차등 조정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 교번 등화기는 연판정과 경판정 기반의 심벌 판정을 수행하는 알고리즘을 사용하여 등화기를 번갈아 동작시키는 방식으로 블라인드 등화를 효과적으로 달성한다. 아울러 연판정과 경판정에 의한 심벌 판정의 상대적 신뢰도에 따라 등화기를 차등 조정함으로써 초기 블라인드 수렴 속도와 정상상태 오차 성능을 동시에 개선하는 것이 가능하다. 다중경로 전파 채널과 부가 잡음 조건에서 16/64-QAM 신호점에 대한 모의실험 결과가 제안 방식의 유용성을 뒷받침하는 것을 확인하였다.

Milli-scale crawling robots have been widely studied due to their maneuverability in confined spaces. For successful crawling, the crawling robots basically required to fulfill alternating gait with elliptical foot trajectory. The alternating gait with elliptical foot trajectory normally generates both forward and upward motion. The upward motion makes the aerial phase and during the aerial phase, the forward motion enables the crawling robots to proceed. This simultaneous forward and upward motion finally results in fast crawling speed. In this paper, we propose a novel alternating mechanism to make a crab-inspired eight-legged crawling robot. The key design strategy is an alternating mechanism based on double four-bar linkages. Crab-like robots normally employs gear-chain drive to make the opposite phase between neighboring legs. To use the gear-chain drive to this milli-scale robot system, however, is not easy because of heavy weight and mechanism complexity. To solve the issue, the double-four bar linkages has been invented to generate the oaring motion for transmitting the equal motion in the opposite phase. Thanks to the proposed mechanism, the robot crawls just like the real crab with the crawling speed of 0.57 m/s.

SGBEM-FEM 교호법이 Nikishkov, Park 및 Atluri 에 의하여 제안되었었다. 제안된 방법을 사용하면 임의 형태의 평면 혹은 비평면 삼차원 균열에 대하여 복합 모드의 응력강도계수를 구할 수 있다. 그러나 현장에서의 적용을 위해서는 이 방법의 정확성 및 신뢰성에 대한 검토가 더욱 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 응력강도계수에 영향을 주는 주요한 몇 가지 인자를 검토하였다. 그리고 원통의 내부 및 외부에 존재하는 원주방향 표면균열에 대한 응력강도계수를 구하여 기존의 해와 비교하였다. 그 결과 SGBEM-FEM 교호법은 이들 균열에 대하여 정확한 해를 주고 있음을 확인하였다.

a-Si을 poly-Si으로 결정화하는 전형적인 방법으로는 고상결정화(Solid Phase Crystallization, SPC)가 있다［1-3］. 고상결정화는 균일한 공정특성과 생산비가 저렴하다는 장점이 있으나, 고상결정화 공정에서 높은 공정온도와 긴 공정 시간은 유리 기판의 손상으로 인해 적용되기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 고상결정화의 저온공정과 짧은 공정시간을 위해 교번자장결정화(Alternating Magnetic Field Crystallization, AMFC) 시스템 내에서 결정화하는 동안 교번자장(Alternating Magnetic Field)을 적용하는 새로운 방법을 소개한다. 고상결정화의 경우, 열처리 시간은 570℃에서 24시간이 소요되었으나, 교번자장결정화의 경우, 같은 온도에서 20분이 소요되었다.

An experimental study was conducted using the tracking wheel test (IEC 62217) method for evaluating the performance of insulator materials, in particular ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and silicone rubber. In addition, we studied the tracking characteristics resulting from applying the same method for the shape of the insulator housing, that is, the performance of regular and alternating sheds. The evaluation parameters were leakage current, surface characteristics, SEM, EDX, hydrophobicity, and temperature distribution; likewise, we applied the commercial frequency dry (and wet) flashover voltage test. We found that the regular shed had a greater leakage current than the alternating shed and that the recovery of the hydrophobicity in terms of rest time was greater than that of the EPDM in terms of leakage current. All of the regular-shed insulators of silicone rubber had tracking traces and choking on the sheath parting line, while the alternating shed showed only choking at the interface but no tracking traces. Therefore, it can be concluded that the commercial frequency wet flashover voltage of the silicone rubber with regular shed before and after the tracking wheel test is higher than that of the alternating shed.

In this research, the performance evaluation between an alternating type process and a recirculating type process was investigated by using mathematical models. The Advanced Phase Isolation Ditch (APID) process and the $A^2/O$ process were selected the target processes of the alternating type and recirculating type, respectively. For more quantitative evaluation, 5 performance indexes which included economy and energy efficiency as well as effluent quality were used, and various disturbance conditions of influent were given to the process models. As simulation results, the APID process which had the specific operation modes to use the organic matter in influent effectively showed higher efficiency of denitrification than the $A^2/O$ process. In the case of effluent TSS, the $A^2/O$ process that the retention time in reactors could be maintained stably was more effective than the APID process. In the cases of various disturbance condition, although it was identified that both two processes had similar effluent quality, the sludge production of the $A^2/O$ process showed lower than that of the APID process while the APID process showed higher energy efficiency.

The convergence rate of a numerical procedure based on Schwarz Alternating Method(SAM) for solving elliptic boundary value problems depends on the selection of the interface conditions applied on the interior boundaries of the overlapping subdomains. It has been observed that the mixed interface condition, controlled by a parameter, can optimize SAM's convergence rate. In [8], one introduced the two-layer multi-parameterized SAM and determined the optimal values of the multi-parameters to produce the best convergence rate for one-dimensional elliptic boundary value problems. In this paper, we present a method which utilizes the one-dimensional result to get the optimal convergence rate for the two-dimensional problem.
