To develop small-scale sewage treatment apparatus for detached house of agricultural village, a small-scale sewage treatment apparatus by natural purification method that consisted of aerobic and anaerobic bed was constructed. To reduce the area of a sewage treatment apparatus, four different fitter media were used and each filter medium was coarse sand, broken stone, steel slag, and mixed fitter media (coarse sand : broken stone : steel slag = 1:1:1). The efficiency of sewage treatment according to the depth of aerobic and anaerobic bed and the volume ratio of aerobic to anaerobic bed were investigated in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus. The removal rate of pollutants according to the depth of aerobic and anaerobic bed in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of 50 cm < 70 cm < 90 cm. The removal rate of pollutants according to the ratio of aerobic to anaerobic bed in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of 1:1 < 1:2 $\fallingdotseq$ 1:3. Under the optimum conditions, removal rate of BOD, COD, SS, T-N and T-P were $98{\sim}99,\;95{\sim}97,\;99,\;65{\sim}66\;and\;96{\sim}99%$ respectively, in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus.

A preliminary criticality analysis for novel pyrochemical apparatuses for the reprocessing of mixed uranium-plutonium nitride spent nuclear fuel from the BREST-OD-300 reactor was performed. High-temperature processing apparatuses, "metallization" electrolyzer, refinery remelting apparatus, refining electrolyzer, and "soft" chlorination apparatus are considered in this work. Computational models of apparatuses for two neutron radiation transport codes (MCU-FR and MCNP) were developed and calculations for criticality were completed using the Monte Carlo method. The criticality analysis was performed for different loads of fissile material into the apparatuses including overloading conditions. Various emergency situations were considered, in particular, those associated with water ingress into the chamber of the refinery remelting apparatus. It was revealed that for all the considered computational models nuclear safety rules are satisfied.

In order to increase the efficiency of the sputtering method widely used in thin film fabrication, a dc sputtering apparatus which supplies both high frequency and magnetic field from the outside was fabricated, and cobalt thin film was fabricated using this apparatus. The apparatus can independently control the applied voltage, the target-substrate distance, and the target current, which are important parameters in the sputtering method, so that a stable glow discharge is obtained even at a low gas pressure of $10^{-3}$ Torr. The fabrication conditions using the sputtering method were mainly performed in $Ar+O_2$ mixed gas containing about 0.6 % oxygen gas under various Ar gas pressures of 1 to 30 mTorr. The microstructure of Co thin films deposited using this apparatus was examined by electron diffraction pattern and X-ray techniques. The magnetic properties were investigated by measuring the magnetization curves. The microstructure and magnetic properties of Co thin films depend on the discharge gas pressure. The thin film fabricated at high gas pressure showed a columnar structure containing a large amount of the third phase in the boundary region and the thin film formed at low gas pressure showed little or no columnar structure. The coercivity in the plane was slightly larger than that in the latter case.

In the present contribution, fracture resistance of U-notched GPPS members under mixed mode I/III loading conditions is assessed by using the Averaged Strain Energy Density (ASED) criterion. This criterion has been founded based on the ASED parameter averaged over a well-defined control volume embracing the notch edge. The validation of the theoretical criterion predictions is evaluated through comparing with the results of a series of mixed mode I/III fracture tests conducted on rectangular-shaped GPPS specimens weakened by a single edge U-notch. A recently developed apparatus for mixed mode I/III fracture experiments is employed for measuring the fracture loads of the specimens. The test samples are fabricated with different notch tip radii with the aim of evaluating the influence of this major feature of the U-notched components on the mixed mode I/III fracture behavior. It is shown that the onset of brittle fracture in U-notched GPPS specimens under various combinations of tension and out-of-plane shear can well be predicted by means of the ASED criterion.

This paper presents the design of the compact UHF Bandpass filter of CT-type with a novel mixed coupling topology. In further detail, this new coupling structure mathematically equals the transmission zero that enables particularly the better rejection performance in the stopband without increasing the filter's order. To envision this design concept, we fabricated a microstrip filter whose measurement proves to agree with the predicted performance and the suggested coupling structure reduces the overall size, and will be possibly used in the miniaturized UHF apparatus such as the RFID system.

The numerical and experimental studies on the mixed convection of a rectangular enclosure for indoor air control has been studied numerically using the finite volume method and experimentally with holographic interferometry and Laser apparatus. The parameters studied here are Pr= 0.71, $30{\leq}Re{\leq}600$, $700{\leq}Gr{\leq}100000$ and the positions of an outlet. The results show streamlines, isothrems, velocity distributions and photograph of holographic interferometry and streamlines. It is found that the minimum cell occurs at Re=100, Gr=10000. The mean Nusselt numbers can be expressed by the correlation equation $Nu=C{\cdot}Gr^a$ $Re^b.$ The comparison of numerical and experimental results shows a good agreement.

Recently, because the lubricating oil showed a tendency to be emulsified and oxidized by high speed, high output and the extension of maintenance & conservation of marine engine, the cavitation erosion-corrosion at such an environment became a big problem on effective performance of engine. Therefore, there was a need to study the behavior and protection of erosion-corrosion damage, and then applied inhibitor to a protective method of cavitation erosion- corrosion damage. At this time, test environments were marine lubricating oil & various emulsified oil that mixed distilled water and sea water etc., and also used 20KHz, 24.mu.m piezoelectric vibrator as an experimental apparatus of cavitation erosion. With this apparatus, we investigated an influence of the emulsified oil on characteristics of erosion-corrosion and protection for erosion-corrosion by inhibitor at slide bearing metals.

In this research 4 plate type ER-Valves which have same surface but different width and length are designed and an experimental apparatus is constructed. With this experimental apparatus, flow rate and pressure drop of ER fluid flowing in ER-valves are measured with varying electric field strength of ER-valve, and relation between valve types and pressure drop is also experimented. ER fluid is made silicon oil mixed with 40wt% starch having hydrous particles. If we allow the same electric field in the ER-Valve, we came to how that the pressure drop is effected by the electrode length and electrode width. When the strength of the electric field increased, the pressure drop happened big and the flow rate decreased.

Pneumatic driving systems have hard non-linear characteristic and large friction force compared with driving power. Hence, it cannot be robust against parameter uncertainties, modelling error, disturbance and noise. In this study, we apply a mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ control to the generalized plant for a pneumatic driving apparatus system including parameter uncertainty and disturbance. In order to design the $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controller, we use the LMI technique. To evaluate control performance and robust stability of the designed controller, we compare it with a conventional controller such as PVA(Position-Velocity-Acceleration state controller) using the simulation results. As a result, it can be known that designed controller shows better robust stability than the conventional controller.
