  • Abstract. This paper describes the development of a gyroless attitude determination system that can rely on magnetometer and sun sensor measurements and achieve good accuracy. Vectors coming from the selected sensor data and developed models can be placed in Wahba's problem. The system uses Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method to minimize the Wahba's loss function and determine the attitude of the satellite. In order to obtain the attitude of the satellite with desired accuracy an extended...

    • Sound fire extinguisher is developed based on principle of quenching fire by lowering its temperature with contacting vibration energy from low frequency sound under 100 Hz to fire and then blocking inflow of oxygen with a sound wind. The one researched by American students are at very basic level to be commercialized. It concentrates a sound beam through special sound winds and increases sound energy performance 10 times more to put out the fire. This is because it utilizes basic theory of making sound and as sound has a tendency of dispersing, big sound and energy have to be created to extinguish fire. That is, even if 100 W is produced, it just makes a big noise but only 1/10 of it can be used for putting out fire. This special sound winds has convex shape which concentrates all the sound into one place to increase effectiveness by more than 10 times. Even 1~2 m away, initial control can be done. As a result, size of battery as well as amplifier can be made small to have minimized size and weight, making it more practical.

    • This work examines the design and operation of a new, small-scale FPE (Free Piston Expander) engine that operates using low temperature waste heat sources to produce useful power output. The FPE is based on a sliding-piston architecture that eliminates challenges associated with MEMS-based rotating systems. A nonlinear lumped-parameter model is derived to study the factors that control the performance of the FPE engine and its unique operating cycle. This basic analysis considers a closed cycle operation of the FPE with low thermal or heat inputs and dimensions on the order of several millimeters. Key system design and operating parameters such as piston mass, external load, and heat input are varied to identify conditions and trends for optimal performance. The model indicated the pressure-volume diagram resembles a constant pressure cycle for a certain set of operating conditions but is also condition dependent. Increased heat inputs to the FPE reduced the engine natural or operating frequency while increasing the power output. Thermal efficiencies of the FPE are shown to be predictably low, on the order of 0.2% due to the small heat input and operating temperature gradients associated with waste heat. Key design features are identified that reveal FPE efficiency, operating frequency, and output power are dependent on piston mass, external load, input heat-rate, and duration of heat input.
