A new active muffler system has been developed and its superior performance on both noise reduction and engine torque increase is demonstrated with experiment. Main characteristic of the proposed muffler system is the use of destructive interference by transmission path difference of divided exhaust pipes to reduce major exhaust noise components thereby overcoming problems of other active exhaust noise control methods. The exhaust pipe is divided into two sections and joined again downstream. One divided pipe has a sliding mechanism to vary its length, which is controlled to make half wavelength transmission path difference for the major engine rpm frequency. In this system one divided pipe is used to control major rpm frequency and its Harmonics and another pipe is used to control noise component double the frequency of rpm. An after-market tuning muffler, which has very simple internal structure and minimal back pressure, is also installed to remove remaining wideband noise. To make the system to be small enough to be practical, conventional muffler is also installed and used in low rpm range and active muffler is only employed in high rpm range. Noise reduction of the proposed system is comparable to conventional passive muffler. The engine dynamo test has proved the proposed system can recover almost all the torque lost by conventional muffler.

Passive type mufflers installed on every car haute inherent problem of lowering engine power and fuel efficiency caused by backpressure which is byproduct of complex internal structure. Recent improvements like installing a calve to change exhaust gas path depending on power requirement and rpm have only marginally improved performance. Tremendous amount of recent research works on active exhaust noise control have failed to commercialize because of numerous physical and economical reasons. In this paper, a unique seal-active muffler using difference of transmission paths is presented. In this system exhaust pipe is divided into two and joined again downstream. Exhaust noise is reduced by destructive interference when two-divided noise join again with transmission paths'difference which is half of the wavelength of a main noise frequency. One divided path has a sliding mechanism to change length thereby transmission path length difference is adjusted to entwine rpm change. The proposed system has minimal backpressure and does not need a secondary sound source like a speaker so it can overcome many problems of failed active noise control methods. We have verified proposed system's superior performance by simulation and comparison experiment with passive mufflers.

We provide a local convergence analysis for Secant-like algorithm for solving nonsmooth variational inclusions in Banach spaces. An existence-convergence theorem and an improvement of the ratio of convergence of this algorithm are given under center-conditioned divided difference and Aubin's continuity concept. Our result compare favorably with related obtained in [16].

The continuous analysis, such as smoothness and uniform convergence, for polynomials and polynomial-like functions using differential operators have been studied considerably, parallel to the study of discrete analysis for these functions, using difference operators. In this work, for the difference operator ${\nabla}_h$ with size h > 0, we verify that for an integer $m{\geq}0$ and a strictly decreasing sequence $h_n$ converging to zero, a continuous function f(x) satisfying $${\nabla}_{h_n}^{m+1}f(kh_n)=0,\text{ for every }n{\geq}1\text{ and }k{\in}{\mathbb{Z}}$$, turns to be a polynomial of degree ${\leq}m$. The proof used the polynomial convergence, and additionally, we investigated several conditions on convergence to polynomials.

본 연구에서는 암석 열전도도 측정을 위해 많이 사용하고 있는 Laser flash method와 Divided-bar method의 장단점을 비교 분석하여 자체 제작한 Divided-bar apparatus의 적용 가능성을 분석하고자 하였다. Laser flash method는 비접촉식으로 아주 작은 시료(두께 3 mm 이하)에 적합하며, 높은 온도($25^{\circ}C{\sim}200^{\circ}C$)의 범위까지 비열, 열확산률, 열전도도 측정이 가능하다. 시료의 조건은 물질이 균등, 균일해야 한다. 반면 Divided-bar method는 주로 상온에서 열전도도만 측정할 수 있다. 밀도가 낮고 공극이 큰 12개의 암석 시료를 두 가지 방법으로 측정 분석해 보았다. Laser flash method로 측정한 결과, 암석 시료 표면의 공극 분포가 일정하지 않으며, 광물 조성이 균등, 균일하지 않아 표면에 laser pulse로 열을 가할 때 반사 및 산란작용의 영향으로 시료 전면과 반대면으로 측정했을 때의 열전도도 차이가 0.001~0.140 W/mK 범위, 표준편차 0.003~0.089 W/mK 범위로 나타났다. divided-bar apparatus의 경우, 비교적 두꺼운 암석 시료를 측정할 수 있어 암석 열전도도 대표성이 높고, 시료를 밀착하여 열전달을 하므로 전면과 반대면으로 측정했을 때의 열전도도 차이는 0.001~0.016 W/mK, 표준편차 0.001~0.034 W/mK 범위로 Laser flash method에 비해 비교적 안정된 값을 보인다.

The divided channel is not often used on the river and when the installation is for the controlling of the flow quantity. The determination of the channel size is not a easy task. Model tests are examined to confirm the variation of distribution rate by the method of the channel installation and the position of the structure and the adjustment of numerical simulation is executed by the comparing of the results. This study is to execute numerical model according to installation of divided channel by using AQUADYN program, the 2nd dimension numerical model, and HEC-RAS program, the 1st dimension numerical model, by the shape of divided channel. Also, it compares with difference by method about each case.

The existing discomfort glare models are based on research that was conducted exclusively with uniform luminance sources. It is impossible to apply the models to windows of non-uniform luminance. For evaluating discomfort glare from windows, the method selecting glare source on a window plane is necessary. This study was carried outto propose a practical method to choose glare source from anon-uniform window plane. In the experiment, the perception of glare source according to the luminance difference is examined using a simulated windowof non-uniform luminance. The surface of the window is divided into two or three parts, and different luminance is setting on each surface. The observers were asked to decide whether the lower part of the window can be perceived as a glare source or not. The result shows that the lower part is perceived as a glare source when the lower part has over 37% of the luminance of the upper part of the window divided into two parts, and when it has over 51% of the luminance of the upper part of the window divided into three parts. the results may be applicable to select the glare source in awindow.

Sensitivity to 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) tasting predicts sensitivity to food qualities as well as rejection of some strong tasting foods. Using consumer rejection threshold (CRT) method, this study aimed to assess whether systematic changes in the taste intensities of familiar foods would lead to earlier rejection of these products by PROP tasters than by PROP non-tasters. Subjects rated the intensity of PROP solution and were divided into tasters (Ts) and non-tasters (NTs). And Ts were further divided into medium-tasters (MTs) and super-tasters (STs). Difference thresholds and CRTs were then evaluated for caffeine in coffee, citric acid in orange juice, and for NaCl in beef soup. For each food, Ts were more sensitive to variations in tastants than NTs. Ts also rejected more bitter coffee, more sour orange juice, and less salty beef soup more readily than did NTs. Comparisons among NTs, MTs, and STs gave fewer clear differences.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the clothing behavior according to the sexual difference, coeducational system, and three groups divided with the score of psychopathic deviate and masculinity-femininity. Data were collected with questionnaires. Samples were 699 boys and girls of middle school in Incheon area. The major findings can be summarized as follows: The variables of fashion-orientation, attention getting, satisfaction of cloth and modesty are significantly different from boys and girls, but conformity is not significant. The variables of attention getting, conformity, satisfaction of cloth and modesty are of significant difference among three groups divided with the score of psychopathic deviate. The variables of satisfaction of cloth, modesty, and fashion-orientation are significantly different among three groups according to the masculinity-femininity.
