Optical wavelength division multiplexing signals of eight non-return-to-zero 10 Gb/s channels were transmitted on the long-haul link up to 720 km. The link span was composed of 80 km single mode fiber, dispersion compensation fiber for complete compensation, and EDFAs. A circulating loop method was applied to the link experiment and the loop was optimized for the transmission link. Wavelength-dependent gain variation of EDFA was compensated using EDFAs of opposite gain slopes without expensive gain flattening filters. Average OSNR was aggravated to 22 dB and the worst OSNR channel variation was 9.7 dB after the transmission. It was confirmed by analyzing optical spectra that this OSNR variation was mainly caused by the hole burning effect of EDFA.

Chalcopyrite구조의CIS 화합물은 직접천이형 반도체로서 높은 광흡수 계수 ($1\times10^5\;cm^{-1}$)와 밴드갭 조절의 용이성 및 열적 안정성 등으로 인해 고효율 박막 태양전지용 광흡수층 재료로 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. CIS 계 물질에 속하는 $Cu(InGa)Se_2$ (CIGS) 태양전지의 경우 박막 태양전지 중 세계 최고 효율인 20%를 달성한 바 있으며, 이는 기존 다결정 웨이퍼형 실리콘 태양전지의 효율에 근접하는 수치이다. 그러나 이러한 우수한 효율에도 불구하고 박막 증착시 동시증발장치 혹은 스퍼터링장치와 같은 고가 진공장비를 사용하게 되면 공정단가가 높을 뿐만 아니라 사용되는 재료의 20-50%의 손실을 감수해야만 한다. 또한 대면적 Cell제작에 어려움이 있기 때문에 기술개발 이후의 상용화 단계를 고려할 때 광흡수층 박막 제조 공정단가를 획기적으로 낮출 수 있고 대면적화가 용이한 신 공정 개발이 필수적이다. 이러한 관점에서 비진공 코팅방법에 의한 CIS 광흡수층 제조 기술은 CIS 태양전지의 저가화 및 대면적화를 가능케 하는 차세대 기술로 인식되고 있고 최근 급속한 발전을 이루고 있는 미세 입자 합성, 제어 및 응용 기술에 부합하여 많은 세계 연구기관 및 기업체에서 활발히 연구를 진행하고 있다. 비진공 방식에 의한 CIS 광흡수층 제조 기술은 전구체 물질의 형태에 따라 크게 입자형 전구체를 사용하는 방법과 용액 전구체를 사용하는 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 용액 전구체를 paste 공정으로 실험하였다. 이는 용액전구체 물질 제조가 입자형 전구체 제조에 비해 매우 간단하고, 전구체 물질 내 구성원소의 원자비를 쉽게 조절할 수 있다는 장점 및 사용효율이 높아 소량의 source로도 박막 제작이 가능해 공정 단가 절감에 큰 효과가 기대되기 때문이다. 실험에 사용 된 용액전구체는 $Cu(NO_3)$ 및 $InCl_3$, $Ga(NO_3)$를 Cu, In, Ga 출발 물질로 선정하여 이를 메탄올에 완전히 용해시켜 binder인 셀룰로오즈와 메탄올을 섞은 용액과 혼합하여 전구체 슬러리를 형성하였다. 이 슬러리를 paste공정으로 precursor막을 입히고 저온 건조 후 Se 분위기에서 열처리하여 CIGS박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 박막의 특성을 XRD, SEM, AES, TGA등으로 분석하였다.

In this paper, a new micro polymer chip platform and protocol were developed for rare cell sample preparation. The proposed platform and protocol overcome the current limitation of the dilution method which is based on statistics and the FACS method which expensive and requires fluorescence staining. It allows collecting exact number of target cells simply and selectively because the cells are visually confirmed during the collecting process. The collected cells can be transported or spiked into a desired locations, such as a microchamber, without cell loss. This research may applicable not only to a rare cell sample preparation for Lab on a Chip cancer diagnosis, but also to a single/double/multiple cell sample preparation for a cell analysis field. To verify this platform and protocol, five human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) were collected and transported into a hemocytometer chamber.

As studies on ubiquitous computing are actively conducted, desire for various services, including image transmission storage, search and remote monitoring. has been expanding into mobile environment as well as to PCs. while CCTV (closed circuit TV) and un DVR (Digital video Recording) are used in places where security service such as intrusion detection system is required, these are high-end equipment. So it is not easy for ordinary users or household and small-sized companies to use them. Besides, they are difficult to be carried and camera solution for mobile device does not support high-quality function and provides low-definition of QVGA for picture quality. Therefore, in this study, design and implementation of embedded system of high-definition image transmission for ubiquitous mobile device which is not inferior to PC or DVR are described. To this end, usage of dedicated CPU for mobile device and design and implementation of MPEG-4 H/W CODEC also are examined. The implemented system showed excellent performance in mobile environment, in terms of speed, picture quality.

Recently, speeding up real time calculation using the specialized hardware accelerator is often used in the various engineering and science area, and the accelerators are required to include PCI express interconnection between FPGA and a host computer. The implementation of the high speed PCIe for the multi-giga bytes per second transmission is one of the most difficult issue in the development of the accelerators. There are several commercialized IP solutions and research results in the literature, but these solutions are required extra cost and design period to analyze the detailed implementation method. For the hardware accelerator on Xilinx FPGA, utilizing Xilinx's XDMA PCIe IP, which is provided without extra charge, can be the best solution in terms of the development period and cost. Consequently, this paper presents the evaluation system on Zynq-7000 FPGA and Windows 10 host computer, and analyze the performance of the PCIe IP with various configuration parameters.

As aerospace industry has been activated recently, it is required to commercialize composite analysis software. Until now, commercial software has been mainly used for analyzing composites, but it has been difficult to use due to high price and limited functions. In order to solve this problem, automatic analysis software for both in-plane and corner radius strength, which are all made on-line and generalized, has recently been developed. However, these have the disadvantage that they can not be analyzed simultaneously with multiple failure criteria. In this paper, we propose a method to greatly improve the processing speed while simultaneously handling the analysis of multiple failure criteria using a parallel processing platform that only works with a GPU equipped with a CUDA core. We have obtained satisfactory results when the analysis speed is experimented on the vast structure data.

Facilitated transport membranes using silver nanoparticles as carriers for olefin/paraffin separation have been interested. $AgBF_4$ has been used as a precursor of silver nanoparticles in previous studies. However, relatively expensive $AgBF_4$ is not suitable for commercialization, and thus, PEBAX-5513/AgNPs (precursor: $AgClO_4$)/7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) composite membranes were prepared using silver nanopaticles with relatively inexpensive $AgClO_4$ precursors. Composite membranes of various compositions were prepared for PEBAX-5513/AgNPs/TCNQ composites, but no separation performance was observed. As a result of FT-IR analysis, it was confirmed that silver nanoparticles were formed in the PEBAX-5513 polymer and the surface of Ag nanoparticles was polarized by TCNQ, but the formed silver nanoparticles were not stabilized. From these results, it was concluded that the anion of the precursor plays an important role in the olefin/paraffin separation.

In the past, control and monitor of a large number of instruments is a specialized area, which requires an expensive dedicated module to implement. However, with the recent development of embedded technology, various products capable of performing M&C (Monitor and Control) have been released, and the scope of application is expanding. Accordingly, it is possible to more easily build a small M&C environment than before. In this paper, we discussed a method to replace the M&C of the VLBI system, which had to be implemented through a specialized hardware product, with an inexpensive general imbeded technology. Memory based data transmission, reception and storage is a technology that is already generalized not only in VLBI but also in the network field, and more effective M&C can be implemented when some items of Ethernet are optimized for the VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometer) system environment. In this paper, we discuss in depth the design and implementation for the multidrop based IoT architecture.
