Exhaust gas from a small portable electric generator is simply exhausted to the surroundings because the capacity and quality of the waste heat of this gas is generally not sufficient to recover and utilize. We have proposed a seawater distiller utilizing the thermal energy of waste gas from an electric generator. The distiller recovers heat from the waste gas by means of a heat pipe and uses it effectively through a multiple-effect diffusion-type structure. We constructed an experimental apparatus with a vertical single-effect still having a 4-stroke 50 cc generator engine and found that the experimental results for distillate productivity show good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The results show that the distiller can recover 52 W of waste heat from the gas at $171^{\circ}C$, and ~85% of the recovered heat can be utilized for distillation to produce 70 g/h of fresh water. This is equivalent to a productivity of 500 g/h in the case of a 10-effect still. Therefore, the proposed distiller should be useful in remote areas where electricity and water grids are inadequate.

Gas springs have been widely used in motor vehicles as well as in most areas of industry. Instead of coil springs, these gas springs are easily operated to extrusion process or compression process the doors because $N_2$ gas with high pressure and oil are charged in tube. Gas spring sustain the constant elasticity change rate in the high reaction force and long stroke, and they have compact design, appearance and an excellent assembling ability to be mounted easily with any applicatory products. By means of these aspects, gas springs have been widely used in stead of coil springs in the over all industries. In this study, using acommonly used program, ANSYS, the basic research about the heat transfer and equivalent stress change of bimetal.

A comprehensive cycle simulation was developed to predict the performance of gasoline engine including intake and exhaust systems with variation of operating conditions and design factors. In this study, the gas exchange model, compression and expansion model, two-zone combustion model and heat transfer model were used. In order to confirm the feasibility of the simulation program, the calculated results were compared with experimental results. P-$\theta$ diagrams, I. M. E. P. and S. F. C by means of calculation showed acceptable quantitative agreement with the experimental data. Therefore, this program is particularly well adapted to indicating the direction of the optimal design and optimal operating conditions for gasoline engine.

The Han Zeong Mag was the typical hydro-therapy of Korea. It looks like hot air bath of western physical therapy. It developed out of the CHO-SEON, King SE JONG(1422). It is warmed fire of pine wood in the room. At first, it runs a temperature about a few hundred and drop to $80^{\circ}C$ through 12 hours then the room air is exceeding dry. After 12h. reheated in the room. Women makes use of that place with bare body. Because for use salt rub of skin. They have low back pain, pain of muscle, muscle spasm, swelling of arthritis, stiffness of joint and it takes effect on the cosmetic of skin. The treatment effect was excellent to pain(28%), next arthritis(25%). But they have not order for treatment of a doctor. It's dangers of heat stroke and heart disease. Imtortant, must educated method of it's use and danger when it's bad use.

Effect of processing condition on the hot extrusion of Al-Zn-Mg-Sc alloy was investigated. For this purpose, hot compression test and FE-simulation were conducted via Thermecmaster-Z and DEFORM-3D, respectively. The microstructure evolution during hot extrusion and post heat-treatment was investigated and deformation mechanisms were analyzed by constructing processing map. FE-simulation results show that the temperature difference between container and billet has considerable influence on the final shape of extruded T-shape bar. The relation between applied load and processing time was predicted by the FE-analysis as well as punch speed vs. stroke chart.

Recently the automobile engine has been developed in achieving the high performance, fuel economy, and emission reduction. In a conventional spark ignition engine the fuel and air are mixed together in the intake system, inducted through the intake valve into the cylinder, and then compressed. Under normal operating conditions, the combustion is initiated towards the end of the compression stroke at the spark plug by an electric discharge. Following inflammation, a flame develops and propagates through this premixed fuel-air mixture. Therefore the state of mixture is very important in the combustion and emission characteristics. In this study the combustion and emission characteristics were tested and analyzed with changing the mixture composition and engine operating parameters in order to improve the combustion and performance in engine.

For a design of on/off solenoid actuator for valve actuating, designer must have the experimental knowledge as well as general electromagnetic formulas to design object. It is possible for theoretical knowledge to do the out-line design, but it is impossible to optimal design without experimental knowledge which only can be achieved through many repeated experiments. In addition, in present on/off type solenoid actuator field, the smaller, lightening, lower consumption power, high response time are effected as the most important design factor. So, experimental knowledge is more needed for optimal design of solenoid actuator. In this study, we derived the governing equations for optimal design of on/off solenoid actuator for valve actuating and developed a design program composed electromagnetic theories and experimental parameter values for inexperienced designers. And we proved the propriety of this program by experiments.

For practical application on the HCCI engine, the solution of subjects, such as control of auto-ignition timing and avoidance of knocking, is indispensable. This study focused on the technique of controlling HCCI combustion appropriately, changing the mixture ratio of two kinds of fuel. Methane and DME/n-Butane were selected as fuels. The influences, which the mixing ratio of two fuels does to ignition timing, ignition temperature, rate of heat release and oxidation reaction process, were investigated by experiment with 4-stroke HCCI engine and numerical calculation with elementary reactions.

Menopause is induced by spontaneous ovarian failure and leads to life quality deterioration with various irritating symptoms. Hormonal treatment can alleviate these symptoms, but long-term treatment is closely associated with breast and uterine cancer, and stroke. Therefore, developing alternative therapies with novel anti-menopausal substances and improved safety is needed. In our study, heat-killed Bifidobacterium breve HDB7040 significantly promoted MCF-7 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner under estrogen-free conditions, similar to 17β-estradiol. This strain also triggered ESR2 expression, but not ESR1, in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, administrating HDB7040 to ovariectomized (OVX) Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats reduced estrogen deficiency-induced weight gain, fat mass, blood triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels. It also recovered collapsed trabecular microstructure by improving trabecular morphometric parameters (bone mineral density, bone volume per tissue volume, trabecular number, and trabecular separation) and decreasing blood alkaline phosphatase levels with no significant changes in uterine size and blood estradiol. HDB7040 also significantly regulated the expression of Tff1, Pgr, and Esr2, but not Esr1 in uteri of OVX rats. Heat-killed B. breve HDB7040 exerts an anti-menopausal effect via the specific regulation of ERβ in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its potential as a novel substance for improving and treating menopausal syndrome.
