We investigated the effect of self-assembled BSO nano-defects as pinning centers in BSO-added GdBCO films when the thicknesses of films were varied. 3.5 vol. % BSO-added GdBCO films with varying thicknesses from 200 nm to 1000 nm were deposited on $SrTiO_3$ (STO) substrate by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process. For the films with thicknesses of 400 nm and 600 nm, 'anomaly shoulders' in $J_c-H$ characteristic curves were observed near the matching field. The anomaly shoulders appeared in the field dependence of $J_c$ may be attributed to the existence of double pinning mechanisms in thin films. The fit to the pinning force density as a function of reduced field h ($H/H_{irr}$) using the Dew-Hughes' scaling law shows that both the 400 nm- and the 600 nm-thick films have double pinning mechanisms while the other films have a single pinning mechanism. These results indicate that the self-assembled property of BSO result in different role as pinning centers with different thickness.

Several boride sintered bodies such as $TiB_2$, $ZrB_2$, and $SiB_6$ were previously reported. In the present study, the sinterability and physical properties of chromium boride $(CrB_2)$ containing chromium carbide $(Cr_3C_2)$ sintered bodies were investigated in order to determine its new advanced material. The samples were sintered at desired temperature for 1 hour in vacuum under a pressure by hot pressing. The relative density of sintered bodies was measured by Archimedes' method. The relative densities of $CrB_2$ addition of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mass% $Cr_3C_2$ composites were 92 to 95%. The Vickers hardness of the $CrB_2$ with 10 and 15 mass% $Cr_3C_2$ composites were about 14 and 15 GPa at room temperature, respectively. The Vickers hardness at high temperature of the $CrB_2$ addition of 10 mass% $Cr_3C_2$ composite decreased with increasing measurement temperature. The Vickers hardness at 1273 K of the sample was 6 GPa. The Vickers hardness of $CrB_2$ addition of $Cr_3C_2$ composites was higher than monolithic $CrB_2$ sintered body. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis detected CrB and $B_4C$ phases in $CrB_2$ containing $Cr_3C_2$ composites.

In this paper, the dielectric and pizoelectric properties of 0.05Pb(M $n_{04}$ $W_{0.2}$N $b_{0.4}$) $O_3$-0.95(PbZ $r_{x}$ $Ti_{1-x}$ ) $O_3$+yN $b_2$ $O_{5}$ , are investigated as a function of the mole ratio of Zr and the amount of N $b_2$ $O_{5}$ . Also, the phase is analyzed by XRD. When the mole ratio of Zr is 0.51, the electromechanical coupling coefficient( $k_{p}$ ), relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$^{T}$ $_{33}$ /$\varepsilon$$_{0}$ ), piezoelectric stain constrain ( $d_{33}$ and dielectric loss tangent show maximum, while the mechanical quality factor shows minimum value ; $k_{p}$ =56.5%, $d_{33}$ =258pC/N, $\varepsilon$$^{T}$ $_{33}$ /$\varepsilon$$_{0}$ =1170, $Q_{m}$ =1150, tan$\delta$=0.51%. At that composition, MPB which rhombohedral and tetragonal phase coexist in this ternary system is shown by the results of XRD analysis. Also, when the amount of N $b_2$ $O_{5}$ is 0.3wt%, the mechanical quality factor is increased to about 2000. The phase transition temperature of the ternary piezoelectric ceramic system showed about 35$0^{\circ}C$.TEX>.>.>.

This paper presents specialized DSP instructions and their architecture for the Viterbi algorithm used in various wireless communication standards. The proposed architecture can significantly reduce the Trace Back (TB) latency. The proposed instructions perform the Add Compare Select (ACS) and TB operations in parallel and the architecture has special hardware, called the Offset Calculation Unit (OCU), which automatically calculates data addresses for the trellis butterfly computations. Logic synthesis has been Performed using the Samsung SEC 0.18 μm standard cell library. OCU consists of 1,460 gates and the maximum delay of OCU is about 5.75 ns. The BER performance of the ACS-TB parallel method increases about 0.00022dB at 6dB Eb/No compared with the typical TB method, which is negligible. When the constraint length K is 5, the proposed DSP architecture can reduce the decoding cycles about 17% compared with the Carmel DSP and about 45% compared with 7MS320c15x.

The grain morphology, the changes in morphology and Jc with the thermo-mechanical treatment (TMT) history, the field dependence of Jc and the nature of intergranular bonding were studied in $T_{10.8}$$Pb_{.2}$$Bi_{0.2}$$Sr_{1.8}$$Ba_{0.2}$$Ca_{2.2}$$Cu_{3}$$O_{z}$/Ag tapes. As a result, incorporation of intermediate rolling during the final heat-treatment resulted in of plate-like TI-1223 grains, and thus enhanced Jc. Jc's near 2.5$\times$104 A/cm2 at 77 K and 0 T were obtained in just rolled tapes with an excellent reproducibility. The high Jc's seem to grain-connectivity easy recovery of excellent grain-connectivity during final heat-treatment after inter -mediate rolling, probably due to retarded T1 evaporation and excessive Ca content in the present composition. The strong field dependence of Jc even in low fields, however, indicated that there still existed significant weak-links and the degree of directional grain-alignment was far from the desired one. The intergranular binding in the tapes seemed to be mainly dominated by SIS junctions.

In this study, we observed the shapes of CNTs formed with the thinckness of catalyst. Catalyst layer was grown by magnetron sputtering method and the thickness of Ni catalyst is the range from 20 to 80 nm. Also, the synthesis of CNT with Ni catalyst thickness was grown by hot-filament PECVD method. And, we investigated the composition of CNTs by using EDS measurement, also observed the shapes of CNTs by using HRTEM and FESEM measurements. In the result, through the TEM analysis, we observed the empty inside of CNTs and the multiwall CNTs, also confirmed the tip of CNT containing Ni. The composition of CNTs are consisted of an element of C, Ti, and Ni. As you shown the growth shapes of CNTs, the pretreatment of the catalyst before te growth of CNTs changed the particle size of the catalysts and grown the CNTs of the different shapes. Consequently, the best vertically alined and well-arranged CNTs exhibited from the substrate deposited at the catalyst thickness of 40 nm.

Ni-base superalloys are used extensively in industry, both in aeroengines and land based turbines. About 60% by weight of most modern gas turbine engine structural components are made of Ni-base superalloys. To satisfy practical demands, the efficiency of gas turbine engines has been steadily and systematically increased by design modifications to handle higher turbine inlet or firing temperatures. However, the increase in operating temperatures has lead to a decrease in the life of components and increase in costs of replacement. Moreover, around 80% of the large frame size industrial/utility gas turbines operating in the world today were installed in the mid-sixties to early seventies and are now 25 to 30 years old. Consequently, there are greater opportunities now to repair and refurbish the older models. Basically, there are two major factors influencing the weldability of the cast alloys: strain-age cracking and liquation cracking. Susceptibility to strain-age cracking is due to the total Ti plus AI content of the alloy; Liquation cracking is due either to the presence of low melting constituents or constitutional liquation of constituents. Though Rene 41 superalloy has 4.5wt.% total Ti and Al content and falls just below the safe limit proposed by Prager et al., controlled grain size and special heat treatments are needed to obtain crack-free welds. Varying heat treatments and filler materials were used in a laboratory study, then the actual welding of service parts was carried out to verity the possibility of crack-tree weld of components fabricated from Rene 41 superalloy. The microstructural observations indicated that there were two kinds of carbides in the FCC matrix. MC carbides were located along the grain boundaries, while M$_{23}$C$_{6}$ carbide was located both inter and intra granularly. Two kinds of filler materials, Rene 41 and Hastelloy X were used to gas tungsten arc weld a patch into the sheet metal, along with varying pre-weld heat treatments. The microstructure, hardness and tensile tests were determined. The service distressed parts were categorized into three classes: with large cracks, with medium cracks and with small or no visible cracks. No significant difference in microstructure among the specimens was observed. Specimens were cut from the corner and the straight edge of the patch repair, away from the corner. The only cracks present were found to be associated with inadequate surface preparation to remove oxidation. Guidelines for oxide removal and the welding procedures developed in the research enabled crack-free welds to be produced.d.

$SrBi_2Ta_2O_9;(SBT)$ films were deposited on p-type Si(100) at room temperature by rf magnetron sputtering method to confirm the possibility of application of $Pt/SBT/Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ structure (MFM) for destructive read out ferroelectric RAM (random access memory). Their structural characteristics with the various annealing times and Ar/$O_2$ gas flow ratios in sputtering were observed by XRD (X-ray diffractometer) and the surface morphologies were observed by FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy), and their electrical properties were observed by P-V (polarization-voltage measurement) and I-V (current-voltage measurement). The Ar/$O_2$ gas flow ratios of sputtering gas were changed from 1 : 4 to 4 : 1 and SBT thin films were deposited at room temperature. The films show (105), (110) peaks of SBT by XRD measurement. SBT thin films deposited at room temperature were crystallized by furnace annealing at 80$0^{\circ}C$ in oxygen atmosphere during either one hour or two hours. Among their electrical properties, P-V curves showed shaped hysteresis curves, but the SBT thin films showed the asymmetric ferroelectric properties in P-V curves. When Ar/$O_2$ gas flow ratios are 1 : 1, 2: 1, the leakage current density values of SBT thin films are good, those values of 3 V, 5 V, and 7 V are respectively $3.11\times10^{-8} \textrm{A/cm}^2$, $5\times10^{-8}\textrm{A/cm}^2$, $7\times10^{-8}\textrm{A/cm}^2$.After two hours of annealing time, their electrical properties and crystallization are improved.
