For the past several years, many countries have passed or have recommended legislation making it illegal to use in-hand mobile phones while driving and several manufacturers have released car kit solutions enabling hands-free operation of the mobile phone. But an automobile environment can pose extremely harsh physical conditions impacting audio quality, safety, and reliability. This article introduced a Car Kits that provided a total entertainment and telematics solution, which support all current features within the constraints of low power consumption, form factor, price, ease-of-use, manufacture ability, testability and high total quality.

Mating behaviour of the gammarid amphipod, Hyale rubra, was observed. H. rubra displayed precopulatory mate guarding: males clasped females with their gnathopods during copulation, forming a pair. Males also participated in embryo care during the incubation period. The population was small, and the sex ratio was almost equal. Energy allocation for mating effort and parental effort in the two sexes appear to be almost equal. The mating system was sequentially polygamous (or promiscuous) and there was conspicuous sexual dimorphism in the size of the gnathopod, which was used for mate guarding. However, there appears to be relatively weak sexual competition for mating opportunities despite conspicuous sexual dimorphism. H. rubra did not display territorial competition or external fertilization. Nevertheless, the male provided paternal care. Since H. rubra inhabit tide pools and live on algae, the polygamous mating system of the species can be explained by the polygyny threshold model. The evolution of mate guarding and parental care may have been favored by the species' low population density and harsh environments, an interpretation consistent with the optimality model.

Samsung Superconducting Test Facility (SSTF) will be built at SAIT, Taejeon. The superconducting cables to be used for KSTAR magnets are going to be tested in SSTF. The background magnet in SSTF is needed to simulate harsh magnetic environment for testing short CICC samples as well as full-scale magnets. The main coils can make central magnetic field of up to 8 Tesla and the blip coils can maintain fast ramping rate of 20T/s. The cancellation coils reduce the disturbance of main coils due to blip coils. The magnetic field distribution of these coils has been obtained with finite element method as well as the direct integration method.

In this study, the characteristics of 3C-SiC ohmic contact were investigated. Titanium-tungsten(TiW) films were used for contact metalization. The ohmic contact resistivity between 3C-SiC and TiW was measured by HP4155 and then calculated with the circular transmission line method(C-TLM). And also the physical properties of TiW and the interface between TiW and 3C-SiC were analyzed using XRD and AES. TiW films make a good role of a diffusion barrier and their contact properties with 3C-SiC are stable at high temperature.

The bowl in a ship purifier suffers from high stress and high temperature in a detrimental heavy fuel oil environment. Duplex stainless steel(DSS) is a primary material to withstand this harsh condition. Newly-manufactured STS 329 grade DSS has been evaluated by various mechanical and electrochemical test methods. Eight heat treatment(HT) conditions with different temperature and time were applied to the DSS samples to improve corrosion resistance. Microstructure and polarization test results concluded the optimum HT condition was $1.090^{\circ}C$-60 minutes. Confirmation experiments for applying to a real bowl including stress corrosion cracking test exhibited the reproducibility of the optimum HT condition.

In this research, we studied on improvement of the attraction force of solenoid operated valve for normal operation in harsh environment like vessel. Attraction force of the solenoid valves is effected by the B-H characteristics of magnetic material and the size of coil. In order to specify impact of the affection, we performed the B-H characteristics test and attraction force. Test results show that magnetic flux densities of the materials are difference each other more than 2 times in same magnetic intensity, and attraction force of the solenoid valve is 1.7 times difference as changes of resistance and the number of coil winding of solenoid.

In-wheel driving inverter inside engine room sometimes operates in the harsh environment like high temperature of about $105^{\circ}C$. Especially, the size and power density of the inverter has become smaller and more increased. Thus, it is essential to manage the temperature of the inverter with IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) switching devices for performance and endurance, because the temperature can be getting increase. In this paper, we performed the thermal flow analysis of inverter models with wave type and pin fin type cooling channels, and investigated the heat transfer characteristics of the inverter models using cooling water on channels at 8 L/min and $65^{\circ}C$. Also, we compared the thermal performance under various conditions such as coolant flow rate and layered power module structure. Therefore, we determined the feasibility of the initial inverter models and the thermal performance enhancement.

Fly-wheel, Gimbal antenna, CMG, Spaceborne cyrocooler generate micro-vibration during their on-orbit operation as well as implementing their own function. To comply with the mission requirement of high resolution observation satellite, additional technical efforts have been required to isolate the micro-vibration derived from such payloads by applying the vibration isolator. In this study, we proposed a passive isolator using SMA mesh washer, which guarantees the structural safety of both micro-vibration disturbance source and itself under harsh launch vibration loads without an additional holding mechanism and the micro-vibration isolation performance on orbit environment. To verify the micro-vibration isolation performance of the proposed vibration isolator, we performed the micro-vibration isolation measurement test using the dedicated micro-vibration measurement device proposed in this study.

Unlike ordinary vehicle chassis frame, chassis frame of military vehicle is long and that is operated in harsh driving environment in middle of war. Thus, because large dynamic loads is acting on the frame, it is important to secure the durability of the frame based on the structural dynamic characteristic analysis. The purpose of the study is that the chassis frame is optimized to secure durability of the chassis frame of the military vehicle according to the structural dynamic characteristic analysis. Also, structure optimization are performed using parametric optimization and topology optimization methods.
