As one of the mission payloads to be verified through the cube satellite mission of Cube Laboratory for Space Technology Experimental Project (STEP Cube Lab), we developed a hinge driving separation nut-type holding and releasing mechanism. The mechanism offers advantages, such as a large holding capacity and negligible induced shock, although its activation principle is based on a nylon cable cutting mechanism triggered by a nichrome burn wire generally used for cube satellite applications for the purpose of holding and releasing onboard appendages owing to its simplicity and low cost. The basic characteristics of the mechanism have been measured through a release function test, static load test under qualification temperature limits, and shock measurement test. In addition, the structural safety and operational functionality of the mechanism module under launch and on-orbit environments have been successfully demonstrated through a vibration test and thermal vacuum test.

Actual engineering structure is frequently very complex, and parts of structure are designed independently by different engineers. Also each structure contains so many degree of freedom. For these reason, methods have been developed which permits the structure to be divided into components or substructures, with analysis being done on a small substructure in order to obtain a full structural system. In such case, because of different mesh size among finite element model (FEM) or different matching points among FEM models and experimentally obtained models, their interfacing points may be non-matching. Solving this non-matching problem is useful to other application such as structural dynamic modification or model updating. In this work, virtual node concept is introduced. Lagrange multipliers are used to enforce the interface compatibility constraint, and interface displacement is approximated by polynomial presentation. The governing equation of whole structure is derived using hybrid variational principle. The eigenvalue of whole structure are calculated using the determinant search method. The number of degree of freedom in the eigenvalue problem can be drastically reduced to just the number of interface degree of freedom. Some numerical simulation is performed to show usefulness of synthesis method.

본 논문에서는 generalized analysis-by-synthesis (AbS) 개념을 algebraic CELP 부호화기에 도입한 새로운 4kb/s 음성 부호화기를 설계하였다. 전체적인 구조는 G.729를 부분적으로 이용하였고, line spectrum pair (LSP) 양자화기와 적응코드북 및 여기코드북을 4kb/s 전송속도에 맞게 새로이 설계하였으며, 20㎳ 프레임 크기와 5㎳ lookahead를 고려해서 총 25㎳의 알고리즘 전송지연을 갖는다. 제안된 방식은 일반적인 AbS방식을 사용하는 CELP구조의 음성 부호화기가 4kb/s이하의 전송률에서 성능이 급격하게 떨어지는 단점을 보완하기 위해 저속에서 좋은 특성을 보이는 generalized AbS구조를 사용하였다. 그리고 LPC 계수는 LSP 계수로 변환한 후 예측 2단 VQ를 통해서 양자화하며, 여기 신호는 음질 저하를 최소화하며 복잡도를 감소시킨 shift 방식의 대수적 고정 코드북 구조를 사용하고, 적응코드북과 여기코드북의 이득은 VQ로 양자화 하였다. 본 논문에서 제시된 4kb/s 음성 부호화기의 주관적인 성능을 시험하기 위해 고정률 8kb/s QCELP와 A-B 선택 시험을 실시한 결과 전체적인 음질 성능이 거의 비슷한 수준을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

발성하고 있는 입 주변에서 취득한 영상은 발성 음에 따라 특이적인 패턴을 나타낸다. 이를 이용하여 화자의 얼굴 하단에서 취득한 영상으로부터 발성 음을 인식하거나 합성하는 방법이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 심도 영상을 협력적으로 이용하는 영상 기반 음성합성 기법을 제안하였다. 심도 영상은 광학 영상에서는 관찰되지 않는 깊이 정보의 취득이 가능하기 때문에 평면적인 광학 영상을 보완하는 목적으로 사용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 음성 합성 관점에서 심도 영상의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 60개의 한국어 고립어 음성에 대해 검증 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험결과 객관적, 주관적 평가에서 광학적 영상과 근접한 성능을 얻는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 두 영상을 조합하여 사용하는 경우 각 영상을 단독으로 사용하는 경우보다 향상된 성능을 나타내었다.

New material design has obtained tremendous attention in material science community as the performance of new materials, especially in nano length scale, could be greatly improved to applied in modern industry. In certain conditions limiting experimental synthesis of these new materials, new approach by computer simulation has been proposed to be applied, being able to save time and cost. Recent development of computer systems with high speed, large memory, and parallel algorithms enables to analyze individual atoms using first principle calculation to predict quantum phenomena. Beyond the quantum level calculations, mesoscopic scale and continuum limit can be addressed either individually or together as a multi-scale approach. In this article, we introduced current endeavors on material design using analytical theory and computer simulations in multi-length scales and on multi-physical properties. Some of the physical phenomena was shown to be interconnected via a cross-link rule called 'cross-property relation'. It is suggested that the computer simulation approach by multi-physics analysis can be efficiently applied to design new materials for multi-functional characteristics.

This paper investigates the effect of linear and non-linear distribution of carbon nanotube volume fraction in the FG-CNTRC beams on the critical buckling by using higher-order shear deformation theories. Here, the material properties of the CNTRC beams are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a new exponential power law distribution in terms of the carbon nanotube volume fractions. The single-walled carbon nanotube is aligned and distributed in the polymeric matrix with different patterns of reinforcement; the material properties of the CNTRC beams are described by using the rule of mixture. The governing equations are derived through using Hamilton's principle. The Navier solution method is used under the specified boundary conditions for simply supported CNTRC beams. The mathematical models provided in this work are numerically validated by comparison with some available results. New results of critical buckling with the non-linear distribution of CNT volume fraction in different patterns are presented and discussed in detail, and compared with the linear distribution. Several aspects of beam types, CNT volume fraction, exponent degree (n), aspect ratio, etc., are taken into this investigation. It is revealed that the influences of non-linearity distribution in the beam play an important role to improve the mechanical properties, especially in buckling behavior. The results show that the X-Beam configuration is the strongest among all different types of CNTRC beams in supporting the buckling loads.

Madhuca indica has been used ethnomedically in Indian folks. In the present study we have investigated anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer and hypoglycaemic effect of ethanolic extract (EE) and crude alkaloid extract of Madhuca indica seed cake on albino rats. The study showed that the EE had a significant, dose dependent anti-edematogenic, anti-ulcerogenic and hypoglycaemic activity, whereas the crude alkaloid extract exhibited a significant only. Both the extracts possess dose dependent inhibitory activity on carrageenan-induced edema, inhibiting prostaglandins or mediators involved in prostaglandin synthesis, the second phase of inflammation. The EE was significantly effective in protecting pylorus-ligation-induced gastric ulcers at a higher dose level. The active principle of EE seems to be a selective inhibitor of the COX II (prostaglandin synthesis) without important effect on COX I since, EE exhibited both anti-edematogenic and anti-ulcerogenic effect. The EE was effective in reducing the plasma glucose level in normal albino rats in a dose dependent manner, producing hypoglycaemic effect by stimulating the release of insulin from the ${\beta}-cells$ and/or increasing the uptake of glucose from the plasma.

For a large structure, substructure based SDM(structural dynamics modification) method is very effective to raise its dynamic characteristics. Dividing into smaller substructures has a major advantage in the aspect of computation especially for getting sensitivities, which are in the core of SDM process. But quite often, non-matching nodes problem occurs in the process of synthesizing substructures. The reason is that, in general, each substructure is modelled separately, then later combined together to form a entire structure model under interface constraint conditions. Without solving the non-matching nodes problem, the substructure based SDM can not be processed. In this work, virtual node concept is introduced. Lagrange multipliers are used to enforce the interface compatibility constraint. The governing equation of whole structure is derived using hybrid variational principle. The eigenvalues of whole structure are calculated using determinant search method. The number of degrees of freedom of the eigenvalue problem can be drastically reduced to just the number of interface degree of freedom. Thus, the eigenvalue sensitivities can be easily calculated, and further SDM can be efficiently performed. Some numerical problems are tested to show the effectiveness of handling non-matching nodes.

We investigated the experimental method that uses the homogeneous precipitation method to prepare mica flakes-coated rutile-type titania pearlescent pigment with urea as a precipitant. $TiO_2$ particles exhibit a high reflection of lights and optical properties with chemical stabilities, so they are appropriate for coating on luminescent pigments (mica). The coating principle of mi ca coated titania with various thicknesses was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tested by spectrophotometer. Mica with a particle size in the range of $40-60{\mu}m$ was suspended in water, and metal sulphates and urea were added to the mixture, which was heated to boiling. The change in pH was continuously followed. The metal oxide and crystal structure were affected by the conditions of $TiOSO_4$ concentration and reaction time with a sintering temperature the range of $800-1100^{\circ}C$.

탄소강 재질은 부식에 취약하여 용도에 따라 화성피막화 공정으로 처리하여 내부식성을 부여한다. 제이인산망간염 수화물, $MnHPO_4{\cdot}2.25H_2O$는 인산망간피막을 입히기 위한 전처리 공정용 혼합물 제품의 주성분으로 사용된다. 이 망간 함유 물질은 수용액 중에서 합성되어 여과와 건조, 그리고 일련의 건식 분쇄와 분급 과정을 통하여 생산된다. 이러한 공정은 명백히 환경친화적이지 못할 뿐만 아니라 비용 효율적이지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 더블제트 침전 기술에 기반을 두고 수용액 중에서 해당 망간 화합물을 입자 크기가 비교적 균일하게 합성하기 위한 새로운 공정기술 원리를 실험적으로 검토하였다. 안정화 첨가제의 효과들이 주사전자현미경 사진을 통하여, 생성된 결정성 침전 입자의 크기의 균일성 측면에서, 비교 검토되었다. 폴리비닐 피롤리돈과 아라비아 검이 더블제트 침전 공정에서 결정의 성장 단계를 제어하여 비교적 균일한 입자를 합성하는 안정제로서 훌륭한 효과를 발휘하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
