LED light driving device has problems in efficiency and heating at higher than 150W. In addition, there is inconvenience in replacing the lighting device to another when W is not the same as the previous one. In this paper, a multi-channel LED light driver, driver embedded driver circuit in a multi-channel structure with a power system in the driver-interlocking structure was designed. With the auto control converter structure with a power efficiency above 93% and power factor above 0.98, the weight of the high efficiency LED lighting-actuating device in driver-interlocking structure, a driver in self-calibrating self-optimization structure. In this paper, at below 10% THD, the existing converter contrast weight was reduced by 40% or more.

In this study, a multi-step optimization technique combined with a simple genetic algorithm is introduce to the structural design optimization of a high speed machining center. In this case, the design problem is to find out the best design variables which minimize the static compliance, the dynamic compliance, and the weight of the machine structure and meet some design constraints simultaneously. Dimensional thicknesses of the thirteen structural members along the static force loop of the machine structure are adopted as design variables. The first optimization step is a static design optimization, in which the static compliance and the weight are minimized under some dimensional and safety constraints. The second step is a dynamic design optimization, where the dynamic compliance and the weight are minimized under the same constraints. After optimization, the weight of the moving body was reduced to 9.1% of the initial design respectively. Both static and dynamic compliances of the optimum design are also in the feasible range even thought they were slightly increased than before.

As industry is developed, the faster transportation of freight train is demanded. The optimum design of a structure requires the determination of economical member size and shape of a structure which will satisfy the design conditions and the functions. In this study, it is attempted to minimize the dead weight of bogie frame. From the numerical results in the shape and size optimization of the bogie frame, it is known that the weight can be reduced up to 17.45% with the displacement, stress, first natural frequency and critical buckling-load constraints. The first natural frequency and the critical buckling load of the optimized model is larger than that of the lowest design value. Stress and displacement conditions are also satisfied within the design conditions. From the results, the optimal model is stable and useful for the improvement of railway carriages.

In this paper, design modification was performed to improve the structure of ex-developed 12 D.O.F Biped walking robot, KUBIR-1 similar with human beings. The motion of KUBIR-1 was slow and had a limited walking space. Hence I designed an improved BWR named KUBIR-2 with 12 degree of freedom. KUBIR-2 was designed to solve the following problems of KUBIR-1. First, KUBIR-2 was more simply designed in the four-bar-link mechanism, and its weight was reduced. Second, it had the built-in controller and motor driver. Third, walking velocity of KUBIR-2 was increased by improvement of speed and motion joint angle range. In addition to these, we modified the structure of the foot for more stable walking.

This research is focused on the applying of the foaming agent which can make the independent pore in the concrete structure in order to make a lightweight concrete structure. This lightweight foamed concrete can satisfy both the required strength and the mechanical properties as structural members. In addition, anti freezing-thawing properties also required. As a result of the unit volume-weight measurement, when the foaming agent mixed at 0.5% to 1%, the lightweight foamed concrete can be applied for the structural member. Also the density and compressive strength measurement results reveals that it will be suitable as structural member with 21MPa strength, when the density is betweenity8 to 1.9 and foaming agent quantities are 0.5% to 1%. Finally the result of freezing-thawing experiment, the effect freezing-thawing damage reduced according to adding foaming agent because those foaming agent make micro-pores in the structure which are not seen in the ordinary concrete structure.

A trajectory analysis program was developed to predict KSLV-II (Korea Space Launch Vehicle-II) performance with the reducing weight. The program estimates the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) / SSO (Sun-Synchronous Orbit) injection performance, which is determined as payload weight for the orbits, with decreasing the structural ratio or increasing rocket engine power. It is expected that the KSLV-II can transport up to 4.5 tons, 3 tons of space payloads at LEO, SSO with a reduced structural ratio by 60% of the original. It also shows that the KSLV-II can transport up to 3.65 tons at SSO by applying advanced engines of 90 tonf, 10 tonf class with the reduced structure.

The underwater radiated noise can be reduced by decreasing the structure borne noise of the on-board equipment. Therefore, the structure borne noise of the onborad installed equipment is strongly restricted by ROK navy with MIL-Std 740-2. Usually, the vibration transmissibility from the equipment to the hull of the ship is dependent on its mount characteristics. Even though the double mount structure is proper to apply for ship board application rather than single mount, it is not widely applied due to the weight and volume resriction of the ship. Therefore, in this research, the base using sandwitch panel which can act as double mount structure is suggested and its noise reduction capacity is verified with analytic calculation as well as experiment.

In this paper, the structural design optimization of a wafer grinding machine using a multi-step optimization with genetic algorithm is presented. The design problem, in this study, is to find out the optimum configuration and dimensions of structural members which minimize the static compliance, the dynamic compliance, and the weight of the machine structure simultaneously under several design constraints. The first design step is shape optimization, in which the best structural configuration is found by getting rid of structural members that have no contributions to the design objectives from the given initial design configuration. The second and third steps are sizing optimization. The second design step gives a set of good design solutions having higher fitness for lightweight and minimum static compliance. Finally the best solution, which has minimum dynamic compliance and weight, is extracted among those good solution set. The proposed design optimization method was successfully applied to the structural design optimization of a high precision wafer grinding machine. After optimization, both static and dynamic compliances are reduced more than $92\%\;and\;93\%$ compared with the initial design, which was designed empirically by experienced engineers. Moreover the weight of the optimized structure are also slightly reduced than before.

The present study was conducted to find out effect of PFOS on survival, activity, growth and organ structure of the melania snail, Semisulcospira gottschei. Experimental groups were composed of one control condition and four PFOS exposure condition (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L). After 16 week exposure, survival rate and activity were not significantly influenced at the two lower exposure groups, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L, but they were significantly reduced in 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L groups. Total weight and meat weight rate (MWR) were reduced in PFOS exposure group in comparison to control group. Also, histological degenerations such as acidification of mucous, necrosis and split of muscular fiber bundle, atrophy of anterior pedal gland were recognized in the foot. Hepatopancreas showed the atrophy and degeneration of the digestive cell, vacuolation of digestive gland and closure of lumen in digestive gland.

The lightweight bubble mixture soil is used for soft ground rear-filling material by applying reduced weight on structure. However, comparing with the general soil, it is not applied in domestic because of initial phase cost of construction. General soil, which has lower initial phase cost is usually used for rear-filling, but the use of overlay method of general soil is reduced as the number of layers increases. Especially box structure placed in soft ground or the overlay method when gap near pier rear-filling can be replaced with temporary alternative method, however, it can't be a solution to gap by generation of extra weight of thickness of overlaying. Therefore, execute LCC analysis of two alternative-the general and the lightweight bubble mixture soils, which are rear-filling material of box structure- and present economical analysis in order to make resonable decision from the economics. As a result, although the lightweight bubble mixture soil takes higher initial phase cost than the general soil, it has been analyzed to procure economical efficiency by having less cost of maintenance.
