The prefabricated type used generally in Korea to join cable runs on new installations or to repair broken Cable runs on existing installations, because installation is very simple and save time. This type is a permanent, shielded and submersible cable joint for direct burial or vault application. It confirms to the requirements of IEEE std. 404-1993 by factory testing, but many problems of insulated cable systems are caused by internal defects of the joint part which have to be mounted ensile. Faults arise from impurities or voids. A suitable solution for a monitoring of cable joints during the after-laying test and service is partial discharge detection. <중략> $\Phi-q-n$ properties were measured using detection impedance, high pass filter and computerized data acquisition system. Statistic Value like maximum charge, repetition rate, average charge, etc. are calculated. It is possible to quantitative analysis of $\Phi-q-n$ properties from this statistic value and pattern analysis.

In this paper, implementation of active noise barriers(ANB) to attenuate exterior noise which is propagated through open windows is presented. The leaky multiple channel LMS algorithms are used for adaptive filters tc improve the convergence property, and a new type of the active noise barrier is proposed. The attenuation effects of conventional active noise control(ANC) systems using leaky multiple channel LMS algorithms and the proposed system are compared by experiments using a TMS320C33 digital signal processor. Noise attenuation levels at the points of error microphones are similar for both systems, but average noise attenuation effects of the proposed system for an entire space of an experimental enclosure are much better than conventional ANC systems.

In automatic defect detection problem for spectacle lenses, it is important to extract lens area accurately. Many existing detection methods fail to do it due to insufficient minute noise removal. In this paper, we propose an automatic defect detection method using Bresenham algorithm and adaptive binarization strategy. After usual average binarization, we apply Bresenham algorithm that has the power in extracting ellipse shape from image. Then, adaptive binarization strategy is applied to the critical minute noise removal inside the lens area. After noise removal, We can also compute the influence factor of the defect based on the fuzzy logic with two membership functions such as the size of the defect and the distance of the defect from the center of the lens. In experiment, our method successfully extracts defects in 10 out of 12 example images that include CHEMI, MID, HL, HM type lenses.

A random and systematic jitter suppressed delay locked loop (DLL)-based clock generator with a delay-time voltage variance converter (DVVC) and an averaging circuit (AC) is presented. The DVVC senses the delay variance of each delay stage and generates a voltage. The AC averages the output voltages of two consecutive DVVCs to suppress the systematic and random delay variance of each delay stage in the VCDL. The DVVC and AC averages the delay time of successive delay stages and equalizes the delay time of all delay stages. In addition, a capacitor with a switch working effectively as a negative feedback function is introduced to reduce the variation of the loop filter output voltage. Measurement results of the DLL-based clock generator fabricated in a one-poly six-metal $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process shows 13.4-ps rms jitter.

The purpose of this study is to develop a badge-type passive sampler for the measurement of short-term nitrogen dioxide and to evaluate its performance. The principle of the method is a colorimetric reaction of nitrogen dioxide with sulfanilic acid, N-1-naphthylethylendiamine, and phosphoric acid. First, it has been shown that the filter paper should be rinsed with ultrapure water and ultrasound, and then dried in a vacuumed desiccator. The concentration and volume of absorption reagent (triethanolamine) were $20\%$ and 100 ${\mu}L$, respectively. The extraction time was determined as 60 min. Second, duplicate measurements (n= 116) were carried out for evaluating the precision of the passive sampler. The relative error and the correlation coefficient between duplicates are $3.4\pm 3.0\%$ and 0.994, respectively. In addition, the $95\%$ confidence interval of intraclass correlation coefficient and the estimated value are 0.992$\sim$0.996 and 0.994, respectively. Third, a paired t-test was carried out for evaluating the accuracy of the passive sampler (n=40). In the result of the test, the $95\%$ confidence interval of the difference was -1.710 ppb <$\gamma$< 0.788 ppb. Finally, the average concentration of blanks, measurement detection limit, limit of detection, and limit of quantification are $2.4\pm 0.4$ ppb, 104 ppb, 3.8 ppb, and 7.0 ppb, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve the performance by guidance technique and applying it to the precision guided ammunition. The proposed method is a technique designed to reduce the target error of ammunition by reducing the projectile error without analyzing the motion characteristics of the shot. This technique is applied to the moving average filter technique which is widely used as signal processing technique to reduce the fluctuation of the output of the inboard mounting inertial sensor caused by the rotation and the coning motion of the ammunition. In order to compare the performance of the applied technique including the simple 3D guided control technique and the proposed improvement technique. It is confirmed that the application of this technique improves the accuracy of impact of the cannon - launched ammunition with severe environmental conditions and irregular motion characteristics unlike the missile.

For the mobile healthcare environment, it is important to measure the exact biomedical signals in real time, and another key point is to design mobile healthcare devices with low power consumption. In this paper, we propose a method in which the piezo film sensor(PFS), having a low power characteristic, is used to measure the pulse signal synchronized with the heart rate from the radial artery. The critical issue in the bio-signal processing is the existence of the motion artifacts. To dissolve this problem, we have applied the periodic moving average filter using the quasi-periodicity of the pulse signal in addition to the conventional method of the adaptive filtering using the reference signal. Results of simulation and experiments are presented to confirm that the quasi-periodicity of the PFS signal can be used to eliminate completely the motion artifacts which still appears after the adaptive filtering.

The purpose of this study was to investigate for filtration efficiency of several dust masks, comparing with filtration efficiency certified by KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency), and to require of the right use of protective respirators. Using a welding fume generator and chamber, several dust masks, which were widely used in the workplaces in korea, were tested for their filtering efficiency for stainless steel arc welding fume. The filtration efficiency testing system consisted of a welding fume generator, a chamber and a filtration unit. The filtration unit was made of a mask which was inserted into the sampling cassette and another sampling cassette, which contained mixed cellulose ester filter paper. These two cassettes were connected with tubing. Stainless steel arc welding fume generator was delivered into an chamber. The welding fume in the chamber was passed into the filtration unit with flow rate of 30 liter/min. The welding fume filtration efficiency was evaluated by gravimetric measurement. Metal concentrations in the welding fume before and after filtration were measured with inductive coupling plasma analyzer. Following results were obtained: Filtration efficiency of welding fume for common hygienic mask was 63.82% and the average efficiencies for A, B, C, D, E, F and G masks were 94.62%, 96.58%, 83.20%, 82.76%, 77.25%, 86.55% and 93.22%, respectively. Our results indicate that dust masks used widely in the welding workplaces in korea are not proper for protecting worker's health and then the use of fume mask should be required.

The aim of this research is to collect and characterize fine particles (FPM:$\leq$2.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and coarse particles (CPM: 2.5~10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) using a low volume air sampler provided by the IAEA, at urban (Taejon) and rural area(Wonju) for a period of about two years(April 1996 to May 1998) and to promote a use of nuclear analytical techniques for air pollution studies. For the collection of airborne particulate matter (PM(sub)10), the Gent stacked filter unit sampler and polycarbonate membrane filters were employed. The concentration of trace elements in collected APM samples were determined byu instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis. For validation of the analytical data, internal quality control were implemented by using both the comparison of the analytical results of standard reference materials(NIST SRM 1648) and interlaboratory comparison for proficiency test (NAT-3). The standard uncertainty was less than 15% and Z-score of two samples were within $\pm$1. The monitoring of (PM(sub)10) mass concentration and elemental concentrations were carried out weekly. The average mass concentration of (PM(sub)10) in urban and rural areas were 59.2$\pm$36.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥ and 41.4$\pm$23.7$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, respectively. To investigate the emission source, the enrichment factors were calculated for the fine and coarse particle fractions at two sites, respectively and these values were classified for anthropogenic and soil origin elements.
