If a ship diesel engine is operated by consolidated control with Controllable Pitch Propeller(CPP), the minimum fuel consumption is achieved together with the demanded ship speed. For this, it is necessary that the ship is operated on the ideal operating line which satisfies the minimum fuel consumption and that the pitch angle of CPP and throtle valve angle are controlled simultaneously. In this point of view, this paper presents a controller design method for a ship propulsion system with CPP based on the decoupling control theory. To do this, Linear Matrix Inequality(LMI) approach is introduced for the control system to satisfy the given $H_\infty$ control performance and robust stability in the presence of physical parameter perturbations. The validity and applicability of this approach are illustrated by simulation in the all operating ranges.

A numerical analysis has been conducted to determine the pitch thrust vectoring characteristics of a two-dimensional convergent divergent exhaust nozzle for supersonic aircraft application. The numerical analysis was done by using Fluent and verified by the experimental test results. Analysis was performed with pitch angle of $0^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$ each at the ambient temperature condition. To see the effect of a ratio of pitch flap length and pitch flap height, the ratio was varied from 0.5 to 2.5. The numerical analysis shows that pitch thrust is changed greatly with pitch flap length. The big difference of the pitch thrust with pitch flap length is due to the shock interactions in the nozzle.

The heat transfer and friction characteristics of heat exchangers having convex louver fins are experimentally investigated, and the results are compared with those of wave fin counterparts. Eighteen samples (nine convex louver fin samples and nine wave fin samples) which had different fm pitches (1.81 mm to 2.54 mm) and tube rows (one to four) were tested. The convex angle was $11.7^{\circ}$. The j factors are insensitive to fin pitch, while f factors increase as fin pitch increases. The effect of fin pitch on f factor is more significant for the wave fin compared with the convex louver fin. It appears that the complex fin pattern of the convex louver fin induces intense mixing of the flow, and thus reduces the effect of fin pitch. Both the j and f factors decrease as the number of tube row increases. However, as the Reynolds number increases, the effect of tube row diminishes. Comparison of the convex louver fin j factors with those of wave fin reveals that convex louver fin j factors are 18% to 29% higher than those of wave fin. The f factors are 16% to 34% higher for the convex louver fin. The difference increases as fin pitch decreases. Existing correlation fails to adequately predict the present data. More data is needed for a general correlation of the convex louver fin geometry.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of surgical treatment for patients with sinus tarsi pain due to accessory talar facet impingement. Materials and Methods: Between July 2013 and July 2015, nine patients who underwent surgery for the accessory talar facet impingement were reviewed. The mean follow-up period was 18.6 months (12~36 months), and the mean age was 33.1 years (19~60 years). Previous trauma history, duration of symptom, and types of surgery were analyzed. The clinical results were evaluated using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and visual analogue scale (VAS). Radiographic results were assessed using Meary's angle, calcaneal pitch angle, heel alignment angle, and heel alignment ratio. Results: All patients had evident trauma history prior to the initial symptom. The mean duration of symptoms was 25.6 months (6~120 months). Four patients received only accessory anterolateral talar facet (AALTF) excision, and four patients received medial sliding calcaneal osteotomy (MSCO). One patient underwent both AALTF excision and MSCO. The AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was significantly improved from 73 (62~77) preoperatively to 93 (67~100) postoperatively. The VAS score was decreased from 6 (5~7) preoperatively to 1 (0~5) postoperatively. The Meary's angle and calcaneal pitch angle showed no significant difference after surgery. The heel alignment angle and ratio increased from $-3.6^{\circ}$ ($-10^{\circ}{\sim}5^{\circ}$) and 0.22 (-0.15~0.6) preoperatively to $2.8^{\circ}$ ($1^{\circ}{\sim}5^{\circ}$) and 0.42 (0.3~0.6) postoperatively, respectively. Conclusion: If there is persistent sinus tarsi pain in patients with hindfoot valgus, accessory talar facet impingement caused by AALTF could be considered as a cause of chronic sinus tarsi pain.

The concept of the IGC(Integrated Guidance and Control) has been introduced to overcome the performance limit of the SGC(Separated Guidance and Control) loop. A new type of IGC with impact angle constraint has been proposed in this paper. Angle of attack, pitch angle rate, pitch angle and line of sight angle are considered as state variables. A controllability analysis and equilibrium point analysis have been carried out to investigate the control characteristic of the prposed IGC. The LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) has been adopted for the control law and detailed explanations about the adoption has been provided. The performance comparison between the IGC and the SGC has been carried out. The result of numerical simulations shows that the IGC guarantees better guidance performance than the SGC when the agile maneuver is needed for a specific guidance geometry.

A new empirical correlation was developed for application to the tandem tubes for saturated water at atmospheric pressure. The correlation was obtained by using experimental data and the least square method to calculate the bundle effect. A statistical analysis was performed to identify the suitability of the correlation. The correlation predicted the experimental data within ${\pm}8%$. The applicable ranges of the correlation correspond to a tube pitch of 28.5~114 mm, an elevation angle of $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$, an inclination angle of $0^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$, and heat fluxes of $0{\sim}120kW/m^2$ of the lower and upper tubes.

An experimental control system is proposed for the attitude control of a simplified 2-DOF helicopter model. The main rotor is a rigid one, and the fuselage is simply supported by a fixed hinge point where the longitudinal motion is decoupled from the lateral one since the translations and the rolling rotation are completely removed. The yaw trim of the helicopter is performed with a tail rotor, by which the azimuthal attitude can be adjusted on the rotatable post in the yaw direction. The robust sliding mode control tracking a given attitude angle is proposed based on the flight dynamics. A pitch damper is inserted for the control of pitching angle while the compensator to reaction torque is used for the control of azimuth angle. Several parameters of the system are selected through experiments. The results shows that the proposed control method effectively counteracts nonlinear perturbations such as main rotor disturbance, undesirable chattering, and high frequency dynamics.

The Earth's outer radiation belt has long received considerable attention mainly because the MeV electron flux in the belt varies often dramatically and at various time scales. It is now widely accepted that the wave-particle interaction is one of the major mechanisms responsible for such flux variations. The wave-particle interaction can accelerate electrons to MeV energies, explaining the observed flux increase events, and can also scatter the electrons' motion into the loss cone, resulting in atmospheric precipitation and thus contributing to flux dropouts. In this paper, we provide a review of the current state of research on relativistic electron scattering and precipitation due to the interaction with electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the inner magnetosphere. The review is intended to cover progress made over the last ~15 years in the theory and simulations of various issues, including quasilinear resonance diffusion, nonlinear interactions, nonresonant interactions, effects of finite normal angle on pitch angle scattering, effects due to rising tone emission, and ways to scatter near-equatorial pitch angle electrons. The review concludes with suggestions of a few promising topics for future research.

The present paper describes the design of a Solid State Telescope (SST) on board the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute satellite-1 (KASISat-1) consisting of four [TBD] nanosatellites. The SST will measure these radiation belt electrons from a low-Earth polar orbit satellite to study mechanisms related to the spatial resolution of electron precipitation, such as electron microbursts, and those related to the measurement of energy dispersion with a high temporal resolution in the sub-auroral regions. We performed a simulation to determine the sensor design of the SST using GEometry ANd Tracking 4 (GEANT4) simulations and the Bethe formula. The simulation was performed in the range of 100 ~ 400 keV considering that the electron, which is to be detected in the space environment. The SST is based on a silicon barrier detector and consists of two telescopes mounted on a satellite to observe the electrons moving along the geomagnetic field (pitch angle $0^{\circ}$) and the quasi-trapped electrons (pitch angle $90^{\circ}$) during observations. We determined the telescope design of the SST in view of previous measurements and the geometrical factor in the cylindrical geometry of Sullivan (1971). With a high spectral resolution of 16 channels over the 100 keV ~ 400 keV energy range, together with the pitch angle information, the designed SST will answer questions regarding the occurrence of microbursts and the interaction with energetic particles. The KASISat-1 is expected to be launched in the latter half of 2020.

디스플레이의 기술발전에 의해 대면적 고해상도의 LCD가 제작되어 왔다. 이에 따라 LCD 점등검사를 위한 Probe Unit의 기술 또한 급속도로 발전하고 있다. 고해상도에 따라 TFT LCD pad가 미세피치화 되어가고 있으며, panel의 검사를 위한 Probe 또한 30 um 이하의 초미세피치를 요구하고 있다. 따라서, 초미세 pitch의 LCD panel의 점등검사를 위한 Probe Unit의 개발이 시급하가. 본 연구에서는 30 um 이하의 미세피치의 Probe block을 위한 Slit wafer의 식각 공정 조건을 연구하였다. Si 공정에서 식각율과 식각깊이에 따른 profile angle의 목표를 설정하고, 식각조건에 따라 이 두 값의 변화를 관측하였다. 식각실험으로 Si DRIE 장비를 이용하여, chamber 압력, cycle time, gas flow, Oxygen의 조건에 따라 각각의 단면 및 표면을 SEM 관측을 통해 최적의 식각 조건을 찾고자 하였다. 식각율은 5um/min 이상, profile angle은 $90{\pm}1^{\circ}$의 값을 목표로 하였다. 이 때 최적의 식각조건은 Etching : SF6 400 sccm, 10.4 sec, passivation : C4F8 400 sccm, 4 sec의 조건이었으며, 식각공정의 Coil power는 2,600 W이었다. 이러한 조건의 공정으로 6 inch Si wafer에 공정한 결과 균일한 식각율 및 profile angle 값을 보였으며, oxygen gas를 미량 유입함으로써 식각율이 균일해짐을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 최적의 Slit wafer 식각 조건을 확립함으로써 Probe Unit을 위한 Pin 삽입공정 또한 수율 향상이 기대된다.
