Emissions of hazardous substances in automobiles are caused by combustion of internal combustion engines, friction of brake pads and tire wear. In this study, we propose a method to reduce the harmful substances emitted in internal combustion engine by using HHO gas. In order to reduce the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine, HHO gas having excellent combustion characteristics was added to the combustion chamber. The HHO gas generator was installed in the intake line and the HHO gas was introduced into the combustion chamber with the mixed gas through the intake line. At this time, we compared and analyzed the performance of the engine performance on the presence and absence of HHO gas.

In this study variable radius pulley is proposed, and the proposal should be applied to pulley of CVT. Variable radius pulley consists of two disks and sliding pins. Phase difference of two disks make a change pitch diameter. Therefore change speed is accomplished by changing pitch diameter of pulley. In this paper simulation for slot variation of rotary disk of the variable radius pulley was performed. Softwares for simulation are Pro/Engineer5 and Hypermesh11.0. The results of simulation are appropriate to put to practical use of the variable radius pulley

Many countries of the world has been devoting a lot of effort to reduce carbon emission. In order to reduce carbon emission, the high efficiency engine has been studied in the automotive industry. Of these, the spread and research of the diesel engine in Europe center are active. However the combustion characteristic of diesel engines have disadvantages of much NOx and soot emissions. In this study, the optimum regeneration point of the forced regeneration type DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter) that was equipped in medium-duty diesel vehicles using a mechanical fuel injection system have studied. DPF that is applied to the medium-duty diesel vehicle has a bent inlet pipe. The flow distribution characteristics of DPF according to the influence of the bent pipe have investigated. The flow distribution characteristics of DPF according to variation of the engine operating condition is considered to be useful data In order to decide the optimum regeneration point.

Hybrid car can improve fuel efficiency using a power of motor that is generated during constant-speed or deceleration driving. The motor is located between engine and transmission. But, when voltage of main battery is low, fuel efficiency is low because the voltage can't run the motor. In this situation, this study observed fuel efficiency when using solar cell for assistance power. In order to verify a fuel consumption of hybrid car equipped solar cell for assistance power, the car was tested downtown driving. As hybrid car was equipped solar cell for assistance, fuel consumption was reduced 8.35 % at running air conditioner. And, at air conditioner doesn't work, fuel consumption was reduced 6.88 %. This point of view, CO2 is expected to reduce in similar proportion.

Recently, robot-assisted joint replacement surgeries are on the rise. Robot-assisted surgery can make more accurate outcome, and thus it will be more popular. For the accurate result, secure fixation of bone is necessary, but there are numerous difficulties for the secure fixation. Detecting bone motion is necessary to prevent some errors. Currently, optical sensor and location sensor are in use; however, these sensors can cause interventional problem for the friction between mechanical devices. This study shows how to compose the bone motion detecting device using electromagnetic sensor, how to commercialize the bone motion detecting device.

Recently, Clinical reports about reducing the delivery time, pain, instrument delivery, and C-section by increasing intrauterine pressure through giving a steady pressure on fundus have been released. However, the use of fundal pressure during the labor is a cause of great concern about medical malpractice and accidents caused by overpressure on fundus. To practice fundal pressure in safe way, medical device is designed. The device consists of inflatable belt, controller, and TOCO transducer; it inflates the belt to give air pressure onto fundus. In this study, we propose the shape of belt to give an air pressure on fundus equally, efficiently, and safely.

There are many types of reduction drives for industrial uses. However, it is essential to use precision reduction drives for accuracy of position controls on robot systems. Among the precision reduction drives, the cycloid reduction drive is well known for its high performances and widely used in precision industrial field. Cycloid reduction drives are mainly used in manipulators in robot system requiring a characteristic of a high precision control. When we design this cycloid reduction drive, there are many factors that must be considered. First, a geometrical analysis of a tooth shape must be drawn from the basic concept. Secondly, load distribution, stress distribution and sliding velocity on a tooth should be calculated exactly. Finally, a computer software to optimize the design of a cycloid tooth needs developing. In this study, many different kinds of factors concerning the characteristic of a cycloid tooth were researched on the basis of the analysis of load, stress and sliding velocity on a tooth. The computer expert system to design the cycloid reduction drive was developed using a Visual C++ compiler. In conclusion, the most important factors can be obtained easily as the user put the simple input data.

Catalytic activity changes of perovskite catalysts were examined with their A-site substitution. For the preparation of catalysts, Mn was used for B-site component and La, Ce, Sr, Ba, Ca, Ag were used for A-site component of the perovskite catalysts(ABO3) The effect of calcination temperature on methane combustion and perovskite structure was also investigated. The surface area and adsorbed oxygen species were tested with BET apparatus and O2-TPD, respectively. Perovskite catalysts whose A-site was partially substituted needed higher calcination temperature than un-substituted one to form the perovskite structure. From O2-TPD experiment, it was found that methane combustion activity was directly related to the oxygen desorbing ability of the catalysts. The prepared catalyst(LM-7) was stable at 600℃ for 72 hours of reaction.

Methane combustion over perovskite catalysts was investigated. For the preparation of catalysts, Co, Mn, Fe, and Ni were used as B-site components of the perovskite catalysts (ABO3) and La was used as A-site component. The effect of calcination temperature on methane combustion and perovskite structure was also investigated. The structure of perovskites, surface area, and adsorbed oxygen species were tested with XRD, BET apparatus, and O2-TPD, respectively. The formation of perovskite structure was affected by the calcination temperature. The catalyst desorbing oxygen at a lower temperature showed better activity for the methane combustion, therefore, the oxygen species desorbing at lower temperatures is responsible for the methane combustion.

Reaction conditions and catalysts were investigated for direct CF3I synthesis. Optimum reaction temperature was determined by pyrolysis of CF3H and catalytic reactions. Reactions with changing oxygen concentration were performed. As a result, yield of CF3I increased with decreasing oxygen concentration. Catalytic activity was changed with the weight ratio of the used metal salts. This result was stemmed from the change in the pore size of activated carbon by the metal salts. The optimum reaction conditions were: 600℃, space velocity of 45hr-1, and with 7wt% KF/AC catalyst.
