We propose a novel ultra-short asymmetric vertical directional coupler switch (VDCS) with high extinction ratios larger than 30㏈ composed of switching operation induced section (SOIS), extinction ratio adjusted section (ERAS), and extinction ratio enhanced section (ERES). In this VDCSs, switching operation is achieved by changing the refractive index of one core in SOIS. The improvement of extinction ratios larger than 30㏈ for both cross and bar states is achieved by controlling the asymmetry of refractive indices between both cores in ERES. After propagating through ERAS with symmetry in the structure, different extinction ratios between cross and bar states at the end of SOIS are changed to the same value. For this reason, the optimum asymmetry of the refractive indices of cores to have the maximum extinction ratios and the lengths of ERES are the same for cross and bar states. Design guidelines to achieve high extinction ratios with large tolerances are presented.

Time domain closed-form analytical solutions to the coupled telegrapher's equations for the voltage and current on a lossless multiconductor transmission line are presented. The resulting expressions are obtained in the form of exact time domain propagators operating on the line voltage and current. Time domain numerical methods are developed and examples showing exceptionally accurate results are obtained for uniform and nonuniform; symmetric and asymmetric strip lines.

Kinesin-I exists as a tetramer of two heavy chains (KHCs, also called KIF5s), which contain the amino (N)-terminal motor domain and carboxyl (C)-terminal domain, as well as two light chains (KLCs), which bind to the KIF5s (KIF5A, KIF5B and KIF5C) stalk region. To identify the interaction proteins for KIF5A, yeast two-hybrid screening was performed and a specific interaction with the ${\beta}$ subunit of heterotrimeric G proteins ($G{\beta}$) was found. $G{\beta}$ bound to the amino acid residues between 808 and 935 of KIF5A and to other KIF5 members in the yeast two-hybrid assay. The WD40 repeat motif of $G{\beta}$ was essential for interaction with KIF5A. In addition, these proteins showed specific interactions in the glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay. An antibody to KIF5s specifically co-immunoprecipitated KIF5s associated with heterotrimeric G proteins from mouse brain extracts. These results suggest that kinesin-I motor protein transports heteroterimeric G protein attachment vesicles along microtubules in the cell.

Text region detection from the natural scene images used in a variety of applications, many research are needed in this field. Recent research methods is to detect the text region using various algorithm which it is combination of edge based and connected component based. Therefore, this paper proposes an text region detection using edge and regional minima/maxima transformation algorithm from natural scene images, and then detect the connected components of edge and regional minima/maxima, labeling edge and regional minima/maxima connected components. Analysis the labeled regions and then detect a text candidate regions, each of detected text candidates combined and create a single text candidate image, Final text region validated by comparing the similarity and adjacency of individual characters, and then as the final text regions are detected. As the results of experiments, proposed algorithm improved the correctness of text regions detection using combined edge and regional minima/maxima connected components detection methods.

In this paper, we propose a novel face recognition(FR) method that takes advantage of combining weighted deep local features extracted from multiple Deep Convolutional Neural Networks(DCNNs) learned with a set of facial local regions. In the proposed method, the so-called weighed deep local features are generated from multiple DCNNs each trained with a particular face local region and the corresponding weight represents the importance of local region in terms of improving FR performance. Our weighted deep local features are applied to Joint Bayesian metric learning in conjunction with Nearest Neighbor(NN) Classifier for the purpose of FR. Systematic and comparative experiments show that our proposed method is robust to variations in pose, illumination, and expression. Also, experimental results demonstrate that our method is feasible for improving face recognition performance.

The effect of the reflectivity of both facets and the phase of a phase tuning section on the self-pulsation (SP) characteristics of multisection complex-coupled (CC) DFB lasers is investigated in terms of yield. The lasers are composed of two CC DFB sections and a phase tuning section between them. As the coupling strength and the coupling ratio (CR) decrease, the effect of the reflected fields from both facets and the other DFB section on the mode characteristics of one DFB section increases, so that the yield decreases. As the facet reflectivity increases, the maximum yield and the range of the phase of a phase tuning section with yield more than 60% decrease independent of the coupling strength and CR. The yield characteristics of CR=0.2 are better than those of CR=0.1 with the same coupling strength due to the larger complex coupling effect. The case with ${\mid}{\kappa}L{\mid}=3$ and CR=0.2 shows best yield characteristics among the cases considered in this work.

To simulate the characteristics of magnetic exchange coupling at the interface of MR/TbCo thin films, the directions of magnetizations were calculated by minimizing energy in the films. Newton method and Gauss-Seidel method were used. The width of M-H curve increased with TbCo anisotropy constant, and with the thickness of the transition region of TbCo layer. Hysteresis loop width became extremely narrow (less than 10 Oe of coercivity), when the TbCo transition region length was $400\;\AA$. Also the hysteresis loop of films with low interfacial exchange coupling constant was similiar to that of short transition region length. When interfacial exchange coupling constant was 1/100 of perfect coupling, hysteresis loop showed a coercivity of less than 10 Oe. Comparing the measured hysteresis loop of a fabricated sample with that of simulated one, exchange coupling con¬stant could be estimated.

유한요소법을 이용하여 전자장을 해석할 경우 전류원이 전 영역에 비해 극히 작은 영역이면, 요소분할 과정에서 소스부분을 세분하여야 하므로 결국 미지수의 증가를 가져오게 된다. 또한, 선전류 문제의 경우 2차원 유한 요소 해석이 용이하지 않다. 이를 보안하기 위해 본 논문에서는 소스가 선전류이고 관심 영역이 선전류원으로부터 떨어져 있는 경우, 소스 영역은 해석해를 적용하여 유한요소법과 결합하는 방법을 제시하였다. 해석적인 해는 원통좌표계에서 반정에 대한 멱함수와 회전각도에 대한 삼각함수의 곱의 형태로 표현된다. 이때 두 종류의 적분 상수가 있는데, 이는 경계상의 포텐셜값과 유한요소법의 경계 적분항을 푸리에급수로 전개한 계수로 표현된다. 제안한 알고리즘의 검증을 위하여 해석해가 존재하는 모델을 설정하여 해석적인 방법, 기존의 유한요소 법 및 결합 방법에 의한 해를 비교 검증하였다.

본 연구는 제 1원리 계산을 기반으로 여러 BN-그래핀 하이브리드 구조들의 결합 에너지와 밴드갭을 계산하여 그 경향성을 분석했다. 그 결과 하이브리드 구조의 에너지 안정성은 BN영역과 C영역의 결합 개수에 반비례한다는 것을 확인하였으며 결합에너지와 밴드갭이 유사한 서로 다른 두 구조에 대해서는 BN의 비율이 더 높은 구조가 더 안정한 구조라는 것을 보였다. 태양전지에 사용되기 가장 적합한 구조는 육각형의 BN 테두리를 기반으로 한 구조인 것으로 나타났다.
