공군에서 전투기 사고는 적은 비율이지만 계속적으로 발생한다. 이 시스템의 명세 목적은 사람이 결심하여 전투기에서 비상탈출 하는 것에 컴퓨터의 역할을 추가하여 조종사의 생존 가능성을 높이는데 있다. 사람은 모든 감각기관을 통하여 미래의 상황을 예견할 수 있는 능력이 있는 반면, 착각 등을 통하여 실수를 포함하는 행위를 할 수도 있고, 비상탈출을 결심하였다고 하더라도 전투기 기동이 매우 급변하여 반드시 비상탈출을 성공한다고 볼 수 없다. 그래서, 기존에 장치되어 있는 측정장치들을 이용하여, 비 정상적인 워치에 전투기가 위치했을 때는 Warning을 하고, 명백하게 비상탈출 하여야할 겅우가 발생했을 때는 자동으로 비상탈출을 실행하는 System을 명세하였다. AWES(Auto Warning/Ejection System)은 Safety-Critical System의 일종이라 할 수 있다. 그래서, 개발 초기 단계부터 정형기법(format methods)에 기반하여 개발되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 Reactiv system의 행위적인 면을 명세하는데 장점을 가지는 Statecharts를 이용하였으며, STATEMATE라는 도구로 AWES(Auto Warning/Ejection System)을 명세하였다.

Main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of a lubricant, magnesium stearate, as blended in a hydrophilic matrix tablet and to identify significant factors using a tablet ejection force and a swelling property. The characteristics of tablet ejection were evaluated with three different compression forces (30, 40, and 60 MPa) and two controlled factors, amount of magnesium stearate and its mixing time. A hydrophilic model drug (terazosin HCl dihydrate) was regarded as a default factor. Tablet swelling was also evaluated. The optimal amount of PEG compared to PEO was set to be 88.50% w/w. As the amount of magnesium stearate was varied from 0.79% to 2.20% w/w, the amount of PEO and PEG was adjusted to meet the tablet's total weight while maintaining the ratio between the two excipients constant. As the mixing time of magnesium stearate was increased, the tablet ejection force and the swelling property were decreased. As the amount of magnesium stearate was increased, the tablet ejection force and the swelling property were decreased since the increased mixing time and the amount of magnesium stearate induced hydrophobic properties of the matrix tablet more effectively. The ejection force of the tablet increased as a result of increase in the compression force, which means that the breaking of tablet/die-wall adhesion energy was also increased when the compression energy was increased. The results gavea valuable guide how to choose suitable amount of the lubricant with processing conditions for the development of hydrophilic matrix formulations.

The objective of this research is to examine the probabilistic approach to evaluating turbine ejection frequency considering common-cause failure. This paper identifies basic turbine ejection mechanisms under high and low speeds and presents a detailed probabilistic methodology (fault tree) for assessing ejection frequency. The alpha factor methodology is applied to common-cause failure evaluations. The frequencies under different test schemes are compared and the propagation of uncertainty through the fault tree model is evaluated. The following conclusions were reached: (1) the turbine blade ejection frequency due to ductile failure under high speed is around 8.005E-7/yr; (2) if common-cause failure is considered, the frequency will be increased by 11% and 33% depending on the test scheme; and (3) if the parameter uncertainties are considered, the frequency is estimated to be in the range of 9.35E-7 to 1.13E 6, with 90% confidence.

This study examined the correlation between MR cine and myocardium Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) by comparing the measured cardiac ejection fractions. The usefulness of cardiac MRI was also evaluated. Ten patients (8 men, 2 women and average age of 58.6 years), who underwent a myocardium SPECT scan and cardiac cine MRI scan among patients who visited the hospital for the chief complaint of cardiac disorder from June 1, 2010 to February 10, 2011, were enrolled in this study. The cardiac ejection fraction was calculated from the images obtained in both scans. The data was used to examine the correlation. The regression equation the cardiac ejection fraction values of the 10 patients obtained in myocardium SPECT and MRI cine was Y = 1.12X-8.91 ($R^2$ = 0.78, significance of F = 0.001639, and confidence level of 95%). The results were significant when the cardiac ejection fraction obtained from MRI cine was compared with that obtained from myocardium SPECT. Overall, a cardiac examination using MRI enables an investigation of not only the ejection fraction but also the ED and ES volumes, stroke volume, wall thickness, and wall thickening in a higher spatial resolution despite the examination being conducted once. This examination is believed to be very useful for diagnosing patients with cardiac disease.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences of ejection fraction of left ventricle through the quantitative analysis of diastolic and systolic volumes according to slices selected using cardiac MR imaging. A total of 12 volunteers (7 normal, 1 myocardium bridge, and 4 arrhythmia) underwent cardiac MRI on a MR scanner(Magnetom Trio, Siemens, Germany). Ejection fractions for quantitative analysis were calculated at single slice of center of left ventricle, 3, 5, and 6-7 slices extending from the center of left ventricle. Average values were analyzed for evaluating differences of ejection fraction according to the number of slices selected. Mean value of normal person of ejection fraction were 67.14% at single slice of center of left ventricle, 66.24% at 3 slices, 65.63% at 5 slices, and 65.29% at 6-7 slices. While ejection fraction obtained from a patient with 61.74% at single slice of center of left ventricle, 60.92% at 3 slices, 60.89% at 5 slices, and 61.89% at 6-7 slices. There was no significant differences by the number of slices selected. This study demonstrates that ejection fraction obtained from single slice of center of left ventricle may represent a optimum parameter for cardiac function, instead of the value calculated on the variable slices selected.

An achieving method of highly progressive pressure gradient is presented to enhance the missile ejection system's performance by using a gas generator in the condition of preventing erosive burning. To obtain and confirm a stable burning, a ground burning test was performed to evaluate the new methods of a radial-hole and a multi-row propellant grain. The test results show that a radial-hole grain takes good effect on erosive burning and not on ejection performance. On the other hand, a multi-row grain which reduces the length-to-diameter ratio(L/D) of grain is very effective to prevent the erosive burning and to enhance the ejection performance simultaneously.

FMVSS226 Ejection Mitigation Impact Test is usually performed by real vehicle. But it is necessary to perform the test using by Reinforced B.I.W. with considering vehicle developing timing and roof rail airbag (RRAB) supplier capacity. We sometimes need tendency (quick data) instead of slow accurate data to fix RRAB design as proper timing. Test with Reinforced B.I.W. is helpful saving time and cost. But it should be confirmed how much different between vehicle conditioned test result and Reinforced B.I.W. conditioned test result. There are some points to be improved even in the test with vehicle. Understanding of deviation of Reinforced B.I.W. conditioned test result from vehicle conditioned test result is needed to get benefits with using Reinforced B.I.W. conditioned in the test.

In this study, the influence of water temperature and salinity on sand ejection of Manila clams, Ruditapes philippinarum, was investigated. The result showed that, under different water temperature, the highest quantity of sand ejection was at $20^{\circ}C$, the value of which was 0.091 g, while the smallest one was only 0.058 g at 0$^{\circ}C$. The highest releasing rate, 95.79%, could be seen in $20^{\circ}C$ group, while $0^{\circ}C$ group was the lowest one, 85.29%. Under different salinity, 30 psu group had the highest value, 0.057 g, and 0 psu (freshwater) group was the lowest one, only 0.026 g. At the same time, the highest releasing rate appeared at 25 psu, which was 90%. 0 psu group was the lowest one in releasing rate, 60.47%. According to these results, we recommend that the clams should be placed into the clear seawater with about 25 psu of salinity at near $20^{\circ}C$ to let the clams perform the self-depuration. Better quality of clams containing less impurity in the aquaculture and commerce could be obtained from this pre-treatment.

An electrostatic ink jet head can be used for manufacturing processes of large display systems and printed circuit boards (PCB) as well as inkjet printers because an electrostatic field provides an external force which can be manipulated to control sizes of droplets. The existing printing methods such as thermal bubble and piezo inkjet heads have shown difficulties to control the ejection of the droplets for printing applications. Thus, the new inkjet head using the electrostatic force has been proposed in this study. In order to prove the theory of the developed electrostatic ink jet head, the applicable and basic theory has been studied using distilled water and water with sodium dodecyl surfate (SDS). Also, a numerical analysis has been performed to calculate the intensity of the electrostatic field using the Maxwell's equation. Furthermore, experiments have been carried out using a downward glass capillary with outside diameter of $500{\mu}m$. The gravity, surface tension, and electrostatic force have been analyzed with high voltages of 0 to 5kV. It has been observed that the droplet size decreases and the frequency of the droplet formation and the velocity of the droplet ejection increase with increasing the intensity of the electrostatic field. The results of the experiments have shown good agreement with those of numerical analysis.
