Experiments on the automatic control of NaOH concentration and on the spraying condition of NaOH solution in the alkaline degreasing process of a continuous hot-dip galvanizing line have been carried out in order to improve degreasing performance of a galvanizing sheet steel using laboratory degreasing and galvanizing simulators. The concentration of NaOH for the good degreasing has been determined to be 6.0% and more and this concentration has been able to be automatically well controlled within $\pm$0.1% by employing a solution electrical conductivity meter under a flow injection analysis condition rather than by employing a sodium ion selective electrode in the degreasing simulator. Frequent blocking of the spraying nozzles of the solution has been reduced considerably by the set-up and periodical operation of an automatic valve system in the nozzle system. By applying this automatic valve system and by automatic controlling the NaOH concentration and other ordinary variables in the degreasing process, the degreasing performance has been increased from the conventional 76% to the new 85%.

The piezoelectric-based hydraulic actuator is a hybrid device consisting of a hydraulic pump driven by piezoelectric stacks that is coupled to a conventional hydraulic cylinder via a set of fast-acting valves. Nowadays, such hybrid actuators are being researched and developed actively in many developed countries by requirement of high performance and compact flight system. In this research, operation principle and performance testing of the hybrid actuator were introduced. Output velocities have been measured in both loaded case and not loaded case and the blocking force also has been measured in external loaded case. The maximum velocity of the actuator is 53.3 mm/s, blocking force is 240.7 N and corresponding power output is 3.2 W.

In this paper, the usage of tilt-implanted trench Schottky diode(TITSD) based on silicon carbide is proposed. A tilt-implanted trench termination technique modified for SiC is proposed as a method to keep all the potentials confined in the trench insulator when reverse blocking mode is operated. With the side wall doping concentration of $1{\times}10^{19}cm^{-3}$ nitrogen, the termination area of the TITSD is reduced without any sacrifice in breakdown voltage while potential is confined within insulator. When the trench depth is set to 11um and the width is optimized, a breakdown voltage of 2750V is obtained and termination area is 38.7% smaller than that of other devices which use guard rings for the same breakdown voltage. A Sentaurus device simulator is used to analyze the characteristics of the TITSD. The performance of the TITSD is compared to the conventional trench Schottky diode.

When tasks access shared resources in real-time systems, the unbounded priority inversion may occur. In such cases it is impossible to guarantee the schedulability of real-time tasks. Several resource access protocols have been proposed to bound the duration of priority inversion and sufficient conditions are given to guarantee the schedulability of periodic task set. In this paper, we show an improved sufficient condition for schedulability when the dynamic priority ceiling protocol is used. Our approach exploits the fact that a lower priority task can continue to execute as far as the higher priority tasks do not miss their deadlines. This permitting execution time of the higher priority tasks for a lower priority task can be excluded from the worst-case blocking time of the higher priority tasks. Since the worst-case blocking time of tasks can be reduced, the sufficient condition for schedulability of dynamic priority ceiling protocol becomes further tight.

Though a deblocking filter of H.264/AVC provides enhanced image quality by removing blocking artifact on block boundary, the complex filtering operation on this process is a dominant factor of the whole decoding time. In this paper, we designed an ASIP to accelerate deblocking filter operation with the proposed instruction set. We designed a processor based on a MIPS structure with LISA, simulated a deblocking later model, and compared the execution time on the proposed instruction set. In addition, we generated HDL model of the processor through CoWare's Processor Designer and synthesized with TSMC 0.25um CMOS cell library by Synopsys Design Compiler. As the result of the synthesis, the area and delay time increased 7.5% and 3.2%, respectively. However, due to the proposed instruction set, total execution performance is improved by 18.18% on average.

In this paper, a extended blocking probability formula for reverse link of a DS/CDMA cellular system supporting voice and data service is derived in Rayleigh fading channel. Also, voice and data Erlang capacity considering shadowing are analyzed and compared with those considering both shadowing and multipath fading, respectively. Assuming that the blocking probability set 1% in the Rayleigh fading channel, they are observed that voice Erlang capacity of 13.38 Erlangs and data Erlang capacity of 8.92 Erlangs are supported at the data rate $R_b$=9.6 kbps, and voice Erlang capacity of 7.47 Erlangs and data Erlang capacity of 4.98 Erlangs are supported at the data rate $R_b$=14.4 kbps, respectively, and then are less 21.4% for $R_b$=9.6 kbps, 24.9% for $R_b$=14.4 kbps than Erlang capacity considering shadowing only, respectively. It is shown that the effect of multipath fading must not be ignored. Also, it is presented that accurate voice and data Erlang capacity which could be supported by the DS/CDMA cellular system.

Purpose : A new fiduciary plate and orientation marker have been devised to assist the quality assurance (QA) procedures for port films in radiation therapy department. The plate is used in conjunction with the film/cassette combination during weekly QA procedures, at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH), in order to verify treatment fields in high radiation therapy. Materials and Methods : A new fiduciary plate was fabricated using an acrylic plate, cerrobend, standard blocking tray and mercury. The acrylic plate had the dimension of $1{\times}25{\times}25$ cm, with two fiduciary markers. The plate was rigidly attached onto the standard blocking tray, thus making it easier to set the fiduciary plate to the center on the radiation field on the linear accelerator. The plate had two 2-mm vertical and horizontal lines, with the minor scales in 2-cm steps. The orientation marker was a small mercury filled disk, which was inserted into the plate. Results : The geometrical structure of the lines in the plate makes it easier to correlate two different images between the simulation and port films. The marker clearly indicated the orientation of the film, for example, the anterior, posterior, left, right and various oblique orientations, without the placement of a conventional orientation marker. Also, the new orientation marker could easily be applied to the simulator by placing the small orientation marker onto the image intensifier or in front of the film/cassette holder. Conclusions : The new fiduciary plate appears to be useful in verifying the treatment fields, and the new orientation marker makes the film orientation simple, which is expected to lower the block fabrication errors.

An aircraft maintenance hangar is a building that stores, maintains, and inspects expensive aircraft. The frequency of fire occurrence is low, but the resulting human and material damage can be very serious. Therefore, in this study, we conducted a qualitative analysis of the fire safety of the currently operating fire suppression systems for aircraft maintenance hangars using the Fault Tree method, and then performed a quantitative analysis using the failure rate data for the derived basic events and analyzed the importance of the minimal cut sets. As a result of the qualitative analysis by the minimal cut set, it was found that there were 14 accident paths that could be expanded to a large fire, due to the fire control failure of the aircraft hangar fire suppression system. The quantitative analysis revealed that, the probability of the fire expanding into a large one is $2.08{\times}E-05/day$. The analysis of the importance of the minimal cut set shows that four minimal cut sets, namely the fire detector and foam head action according to the zone and blocking of the foam by the aircraft wing and the fire plume, had the same likelihood of causing the fire to develop into a large one, viz. 24.95% each, which together forms the majority of the likelihood. It was confirmed for the first time by fault tree method that the fire suppression system of aircraft maintenance hangars is not suitable for fires under the aircraft wings and needs to be improved.
