The neurotics analysis of a liquid metal reactor fur burning minor actinides has shown that uncertainties in the nuclear data of several key minor actinide isotopes can introduce large uncertainties in the predicted performance of the core. A comprehensive sensitivity and uncertainty analysis was performed on a 1200 MWth actinide burner designed for a low burnup reactivity swing, negative doppler coefficient, and low sodium void worth. Sensitivities were generated using depletion perturbaton methods for the equilibrium cycle of the reactor and covariance data was taken ENDF-B/V and other published sources. The relative uncertainties in the burnup swing, doppler coefficient, and void worth were conservatively estimated to be 180%, 91%, and 46%, respectively.

The most prominent challenge for MOSFET scaling is to reduce power consumption; however, the supply voltage ($V_{DD}$) cannot be scaled down because of the carrier injection mechanism. To overcome this limit, a new type of field-effect transistor using positive feedback as a carrier injection mechanism (FBFET) has been proposed. In this study we have investigated the electrical characteristics of a $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ FBFET with one gate and one-sided $Si_3N_4$ spacer using TCAD simulations. To reduce the drain bias dependency, $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ was introduced as a low-bandgap material, and the minimum subthreshold swing was obtained as 2.87 mV/dec. This result suggests that a $Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ FBFET is a promising candidate for future low-power devices.

SRAM에서 쓰기 전력을 줄이기 위하여 소스 전압을 높인 메모리 셀을 이용한 저전력 SRAM을 제안하였다. 메모리 셀의 소스 전압을 GND에서 V/sub T/로 올리고 비트라인과 데이터버스의 프리차지 전압을 V/sub DD/에서 V/sub DD/-V/sub T/로 낮춤으로써 비트라인과 데이터버스의 스윙 전압을 줄였다. 이것은 면적의 증가와 속도 감소 없이 SRAM의 쓰기 전력을 크게 줄여준다. 8K×32비트의 SRAM이 0.25um CMOS 공정으로 제작되었다. 제작된 SRAM은 2.5V 전원과 300MHz 동작 주파수에서 쓰기 동작의 소모전력을 45% 줄였고, 최대 동작 주파수는 330MHz였다.

Objectives : The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of low level laser treatment (LLLT) on the gait behavior in the rat model of arthritis. Methods : Knee arthritis was induced by the injection of $125{\mu}l$ of Complete Freund's Adjuvant(CFA) into the right hind knee joint cavity. Arthritic rats were divided 3 groups; arthritis group was used for control(CON), 10 min of laser treated group(LSR10), and 30 min of laser treated group(LSR30). LLLT was applied to KI 1 for 11 times under gaseous anesthesia. We performed several analyses under catwalk test including stand and swing time, duty cycle of paw steps, intensity and print area of steps, and stride length. Results : Stand and duty cycle of paw steps were increased significantly at 12 days after arthritis induction in LSR30 group. Swing time was decreased significantly at 12 days after arthritis induction in LSR10 group. In the analysis of intensity, print area and stride length, however, results did not show statistical significance during the time point of experiments. Conclusions : The data suggest that LLLT on the rat model of CFA induced arthritis showed beneficial effects by increase of stand time and duty cycle of paw steps and decrease of swing time. Therefore, LLLT could be useful option to improve gait discomfort in arthritis patients.

As the increase of the fuel oil price, the demand for saving of the ship running cost is growing. To meet the needs of the shipowners, the method for low load operation has been developed by engine licenser. As one of low load operation, the turbocharger cut-out system can be utilized flexibly both full and part load operation. It can be possible to optimize fuel consumption at both full and part load operation. Tests by engine licenser with 12K98MC engine have proven that the fuel oil consumption can be reduced approximately 5%. In this paper we will study the application of main engine turbocharger cut-out system onboard a vessel. One of four turbochargers with MAN Diesel & Turbo 12K98MC-C and 12K98ME-C engine is cut out with swing gate valve. The fuel oil consumption is measured during sea trial and engine shop test.

본 논문에서는 전력소모 감소 및 강건성 (robustness) 향상을 위한 새로운 구조의 플립-플롭을 제안한다. 가변 샘플링 윈도우 플립-플롭(Variable sampling window flip-flop, VSWFF)은 입력 데이터에 따라 샘플링 윈도우의 폭을 변화시켜 강인한 데이터-래치 동작을 제공할 뿐 아니라 더욱 짧은 hold time을 갖는다. 또한, 이 플립-플롭은 입력 스위칭 행위(input switching activity)가 큰 경우에 기존의 저전력 플립-플롭보다 내부 전력소모를 감소시킬 수 있다. 클럭 진폭 감쇄형 가변 샘플링 윈도우 플립-플롭(Clock swing-reduced variable sampling window flip-flop, CSR-VSWFF)은 작은 스윙 폭의 클럭을 사용함으로써 클럭분배망(clock distribution network)의 전력소모를 감소시킬 수 있다. 기존의 클럭 진폭 감쇄형 플립-플롭(Reduced clock swing flip-flop, RCSFF)과 달리, 제안된 플립-플롭은 공급전압만으로 동작하므로 고전압의 발생 및 분배로 인한 설계 상의 비용증가를 제거한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 기존의 플립-플롭과 비교하여 더욱 좁은 샘플링 윈도우에서도 불변의 지연값(latency) 을 유지하고 전력-지연 곱(power-delay product, PDP)이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 제안된 플립-플롭의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 $0.3\mu m$ CMOS 공정기술을 이용하여 테스트 칩을 설계하였으며, 실험 결과, VSWFF는 입력 스위칭 행위가 최대일 때 전력소모가 감소하며 CSR-YSWFF를 이용하여 설계된 동기 카운터는 부가 고전압의 사용 없이 전력소모가 감소됨을 확인하였다.

A new knee-ankle-foot-orthosis(KAFO) which uses an automatically-controlled electromechanical wrap spring clutch for the knee joint was developed in the present study. It was found that the output voltage from the foot switches of the developed KAFO was proportionally increased with respect to the applied load. The output voltage from the infrared sensor also decreased as the knee flexion angle increased. The knee joint system for the new KAFO weighs only 780g lighter than any other commercially available developed system. In addition, the solenoid reduces the reaction time for the automatic control of the knee joint. The static torque of the clutch was measured for three persons, and it satisfied the normal knee extension moment during the pre-swing. Three-dimensional gait analyses for three different gait patterns (normal gait, locked-knee gait, controlled-knee gait) from five normal subjects were conducted. Controlled-knee gait showed the maximum knee flexion angle of 40.56$\pm9.55^{\circ}$ and the maximum knee flexion moment of 0.20$\pm$0.07Nm/kg at similar periods in the normal gait. Our KAFO system satisfies both stability during stance phase and free knee flexion during the swing phase at the proper period during the gait cycle. Therefore, our KAFO system would be very useful in various low extremity orthotic applications.

There are two different assertions on the rolling error in the solid-controlled gyro compass which contains two rotors in its inner gyro sphere. One assertion is that there is a rolling error and the other is that there is no rolling error. This paper examines the rolling error caused by the centrifugal force by the experiment to reveal that the first assertionis reasonable, and it also attempts to explain qualitatively how the rolling error occurs. The Hokushin-Plath gyro compass is chosen as a model. The rolling error is examined by the swing test in various periods. From the tests, the following results are obtained. As long as the swing is continued under the fixed condition of the ship's heading, the swinging period and the amplitude, no error appears. In case the gyro compass is affected by the swingings except those of the cardinal planes, the error starts to appear only after the swing is finished and it is increasing slowly. It takes about 20 minutes for the error to reach its maximum value. The type of this error is a quadrantal one which makes the ship's heading high in the first and third quarters and low in the second and fourth quarters. But in each case the experimental maximum error is greater than the theorectical one.
