An optical method to measure the size and number density of soot aggregates in diesel exhaust has been proposed in this study. Two laser beams in co-axial alignment transmit a soot loaded exhaust gas flow, and the transmittance at each wavelength is detected by a photo diode simultaneously. The volume equivalent diameter and number density of soot aggregates in the optical path can be theoretically given by the transmittance values measured at two wavelengths. A test conducted by a single cylinder, 4 cycle, small and DI diesel engine shows that the temporal variations of the size and number density of soot aggregates in the diesel exhaust can be measured by the proposed method at a transient mode operation. It is found that the volume equivalent diameter varied temporally from 70 to 110 nm during the period that high soot concentration is observed. One can also conclude that the optical length longer than 1 m in the dynamic range regarding this method is preferable for measuring soot concentration at the level of $1\;mg/m^3$.

An optical network-on-chip(ONoC) architecture is emerging as a new paradigm for solving on-chip communication bottleneck. Recent studies on ONoC have been focusing on supporting the parallel transmission and avoiding path collisions using wavelength division multiplexing(WDM). However, since the maximum number of wavelengths, which a single waveguide can accommodate is limited by crosstalk and insertion loss. Therefore previous WDM studies based on incrementing the number of different wavelengths according to the number of nodes would be infeasible due to the implementation complexity. To solve such problems, we combined time division multiplexing(TDM) and wavelength-routed ONoC, along with an optimized channel allocation algorithm, which can minimize the number of extra wavelength channels and latency caused by combining TDM scheme.

As the increasing interests of spatial information for different application area such as disaster management, there are many researches and development of indoor spatial data models and real-time evacuation management systems. The application requires to determine and optical paths in emergency situation, to support evacuees and rescuers. The optimal path in this study is defined to guide rescuers, So, the path is from entrance to the disaster site (room), not from rooms to entrances in the building. In this study, we propose a time-dependent optimal routing algorithm to develop real-time evacuation systems. The network data that represents navigable spaces in building is used for routing the optimal path. Associated information about environment (for example, number of evacuees or rescuers, capacity of hallways and rooms, type of rooms and so on) is assigned to nodes and edges in the network. The time-dependent optimal path is defined after concerning environmental information on the positions of evacuees (for avoiding places jammed with evacuees) and rescuer at each time slot. To detect the positions of human beings in a building per time period, we use the results of evacuation simulation system to identify the movement patterns of human beings in the emergency situation. We use the simulation data of five or ten seconds time interval, to determine the optimal route for rescuers.

In this project, we studied more accurate and reliable sensing method for oxygen in reheating furnace, made the empirical model for NOx concentration based on oxygen and evaluate the stability of the Tuneable Diode Laser (Absorption) Spectroscopy(TDL(A)S). The tested oxygen monitoring system is installed at work-field reheating furnace on hot roll at POSCO and compared with the Zr sensor system which shows too sensitive because it measures oxygen concentration on a spot unlike TDLS sensor which is successfully applied at 13m-width reheating furnace to measures the line average along the Optical Path Line(OPL).

Using various offset times to separate differential services is the most common form of service differentiation in optical burst switching networks. In this approach, a larger offset time is given to a higher priority burst, but it causes this burst to have a longer delay. One solution to this problem is to adjust the burst assembly time so that the buffering delay of the higher priority burst is always shorter than that of the lower priority burst. However, this adjustment causes another problem, called delay unfairness, for bursts with differential priorities that share the same path to their destination. This article proposes a new solution for delay fairness using the burst assembly.

we analyzed multiple ray tracing in the highly scattering optical transmission(HSOT) polymer plate by means of the Monte carlo simulation. Light transmission behavior in the light guide was simulated by a 3-dimensional ray tracing program considering scattering angle given by the Mie theory and mean free path. To improve the uniformity of the conventional HSOT backlight unit, We employed additionally dot patterns. For the proposed structure, we calculated the light transmission behavior and obtained a bright and uniform backlight unit for a large size LCD panel of more than 12 inch.

A claw pole stepping motor is widely used in various fields such as a compact optical disk drive, computer peripherals, digital cameras, office automation(OA), handheld mobile devices, because it has the suitable structure for compact motor. However 3D analysis is essential for design of Claw pole stepping motor because of axial flux path. Thus, in general, it takes a lot of time in the design of Claw pole motor. In this paper, magnetic equivalent circuit considering axial flux was proposed to reduce design time of Claw pole motor and we has designed by using the magnetic equivalent circuit. In addition, in oder to verify the study, design model was verified by 3D FEM simulation and experiment.

The extraction rate of ginger from Korean-grown ginger root with supercritical carbon dioxide was measured as a function of flow rate of supercritical carbon dioxide, particle size, temperature and pressure. the extraction rate increased as the particle size decreased due to a decrease in the diffusion path. The extraction rate were independent of flow rate of supercritical carbon dioxide in a plot of ginger oil yield versus extraction time. This indicated that the extraction process is controlled by intraparticle diffusion within a particle of ginger root. In the case of temperature and pressure effect, the experimental results showed that the extraction rate decreased with an increase in temperature and increased with an increase in pressure.

This paper represents the sensor combination technique of mobile robot to reduce the ambiguity and uncertainty of environment that prevents the mobile robot from recognizing the path planning and navigation. The sensors such as optical encoder, ultra sonar sensor, and infra-red sensor gathered the dynamic information of mobile robot that are used to detect the obstacle. Therefore, the mobile robot controller with sensor combination is stably demonstrated by the experimental results.

This study investigated elementary school teachers' understanding of the image formation by converging lens, pinholes camera, mirror and water. In each case teachers were asked to draw the ray diagram to indicate the position of the image. Teachers' ray diagrams were analyzed in accordance with the scientific process of image formation. Results of analysis showed that teacher's conceptions were classified into five levels for each situation. And most of the teachers were in level 3 and level 4 in each case. Because they had difficulties in the appling scientific conception(propagating path of light, diffused reflection from each object point, role of the eye, ray tracing) to finding location of image. Also most of teachers didn't know how to apply the law of reflection and refraction to each situation. The study finally discussed the teacher training program of the optical image.
