  • The recent surge in night walkers and pedestrian traffic accidents has led to an increased interest in retro-reflection-based products, leading to several studies on retro-reflection. Nonetheless, achieving high durability and dispersibility of retro-reflective glass beads in viscous polyurethane coating resin remains challenging. To address this issue, this study conduct to functionalize the surface of glass beads for covalent conjugation to coating resin to enhance their dispersibility and durability in the coating resin. The study evaluated the dispersibility, chemical composition, and retro-reflection properties of the functionalized glass beads and coating resin. The results showed that the functionalized glass beads conjugated to the polyurethane coating resin and exhibited excellent dispersibility, high durability, and maintained retro-reflection efficiency.

  • In this paper, the optical properties of a miniature telecentric camera are studied analytically and experimentally. By means of optical properties, the luminous intensity of retro-reflection of a miniature telecentric optical system is investigated. First, from a simulation the theoretical value of the coefficient of luminous intensity of retro-reflection of a miniature telecentric system is estimated. Second, a miniature telecentric camera device is designed, and the value of the coefficient of luminous intensity of retro-reflection of the actual device is measured through experiment. From simulation and experiment, we found that both the estimated and observed values of the coefficient of luminous intensity of retro-reflection range from 0.002 to $0.03m^2/sr$ (P384200CPH: $0.0042-0.018m^2/sr$, P285200CPH: $0.0045-0.0297m^2/sr$, P321450S: $0.0021-0.00963m^2/sr$) at 1.4 to 4.9 arcminute. The results prove the significance of the mechanisms used to design the miniature telecentric camera, and the experimental method. Accordingly, with these significant results, this study contributes to the development of theory and practice in optical engineering science.

  • Materials exposed to outside will deteriorate due to various weathering factors such as sunlight, heat, temperature, humidity and so on. Therefore, predicting speed of degradation and life time is a very important issue. This research uses retro-reflective sheets with white and green which are most commonly used colors to conduct the outdoor exposure test and acceleration test of xenon arc in Arizona state in the United States, Chennai in India, Sanary in France and Seosan in Korea to measure the reflective performance of retro-reflection. The accelerated factor was obtained by using regression analysis through reflective values obtained from the acceleration test of xenon arc from Seosan area. Also, by using solar uv program, the accelerated factor of various climate regions were obtained and it was confirmed that the accelerated factor of Senary was 1.04, Arizona 1.82, Chennai 1.92 times higher than that of Seosan.

  • One set of rotor coils is required per each large generator rotor assembly, Rotors consist of two directly opposing poles. Each pole requires from 5 to 9 coils. Each coil is made up of two halves identified on the connection end. These coil halves will be joined together by butt brazing process during subsequent rotor assembly. Each half coil is made up of typically 4 to 9 layers of copper conductors. Because of Generator rotor is rotated very high speed with 3,600RPM, the quality soundness of brazed joints is very important at each coil. But, it is very difficult to be optimized non-destructive evaluation, because c-coil has the long shape and evaluation is to be done assembled condition. In this paper introduce newly developed inspection process and acceptance standards for the ultrasonic inspection of " C" coil butt braze. This inspection system is a semi-automatic ultrasonic flaw detector with data acquisition and retention capable of assessing the relative lack of bond of brazed butt joints

  • The purpose of this study is to grasp the meanings of retro-fashion, to research the design characteristics and background on the birth of repro-fashion. It can help to confirm the importance of aesthetic marketing which is based on human feelings, the roles and cultural and industrial meanings. Reto-fashion Is one of the mediums between the expression of Post-modern fashion and emotional sympath of human beings as consumer and fashion creators. So this inspiration is the way of fashion creativities. The backgrounds of appearance repro-fashion are reflection about materialism and technique and 20th century, the sense of instability and finding new ideas from the past. The characteristics of retro-fashion designs are as follows : First, the styles have been come from 50's. 60's, 70's, and 80\`s. It means that the styles not just expressed to return to the past simply but an expression the emotional state for missing the past. Second, the colors and materials are various also as like styles. Third, the decorations of repro-fashion are more crafts by human. The roles of retro-fashion are for creation of high valued product in fashion design, expression of individuality with disharmonized coordination and application as a fusion style. The cultural and industrial meaning of repro-fashion are endowment of aesthetic marketing using human feeling in fashion marketing area and pursuing of the Renaissance of fashion culture and industry. Therefore it is needed that design critics and analysis going side by culture and industry condition for fashion study with human feelings in 21th century.

  • In recent years, most automobile manufacturers have been using slim light source images to imprint their own brand image and identity. A light guide type lamp is widely used for making these kinds of a slim light source image. A light guide lamp means using a light emitting diode light source at one end of a long cylindrical pipe. The light from the light emitting diode source moves through the pipe by total reflection principle. Moving light is sent forward by various optic structures which is applied in the cylindrical pipe. However, the light guide lamp has a problem that the image of the light differs depending on the viewing direction, and in some cases there is dark section. It means light guide has low quality about lighting image. In this paper, trying to improve the fundamental problems of the light guide mentioned above by using various triz methods. Through functional modeling, estimating the factors affecting the light in the light guide lamp and make various ideas to improve the lighting image using the chain effect cause analysis, function oriented search scientific database techniques. Using these kinds of various TRIZ methods, finally find solutions that can improve the brightness and lighting uniformity of the light guide lamp. The ideas obtained in this paper were applied to actual vehicle development, and several patents achievements were obtained. In conclusion, it is proved that TRIZ method is useful for making ideas in actual automobile industrial field and is also a useful method for acquiring patent.

  • Recently 3D surveying is recommended to manage underground facilities systematically before refilling of site operation. As the demand of realtime localization increases, cost reduction and consistent data construction which are realizable by using one man surveying method with unmanned target, are necessary for constructing DB of all sorts of the underground facilities with more speediness and correctness. This study sets a goal to develop a new type of surveying target which allows realtime localization to be performed by one man, through making an optimum reflector(triangle, quadrangle, and semispherical shape) by using the retro-reflection principle of optical prism which is being used for surveying currently. The new surveying target makes realtime surveying possible. To check reliability of its data, the accuracy is compared with surveying coordination of total station for each type in a quantitative method. In the result, the usefulness of the reflector for Underground Facilities localization is proved. Thus the foundation for underground DB construction conducted by one man is established for acquisition of 3D location information in more efficient way through using unmanned target.
