Nano seed incorporated in micro-sized 4BS (Tetrabasic lead Sulfate) seed was applied to the positive electrode active material and compared with Nano 4BS seed (NS). The dispersion of NS decreased due to the aggregation phenomenon, while the nano seed incorporated in micro-sized 4BS seed (INS) could confirm excellent dispersion. As the content of INS increased, the particle size of the active material became small and constant, which was confirmed through SEM and particle size analysis. The specific surface area for the reaction was increased and the high-rate discharge and lifetime characteristics were improved. In order to confirm the variation in particle size distribution in the plate manufacturing process, internal resistance and voltage were measured for 200 AGM lead-acid batteries, and it was confirmed that batteries quality variation decreased.

Most of the software development is determined by the hard skills of project participants and capacity management and operations. However, failure of the current software development is very high. Since the development of the exploration of human psychology continues, the study that there is an association between the preferences of personality and work preference has been actively conducted. It is found out that there is a relationship of preferences in MBTI, the test tool of psychological typology, and those for the work of the ICT engineers tuned to the software development cycle. By using the information on the soft skills associated with software development for the psychological typology, it can be understood the preference of the software development process. In this paper, we develop a program for software development process to allow personality type to be classified with using the soft skills to find ways to improve education and collaboration capabilities of ICT engineers.

For some processes with saturations, economical operating points are on the saturation edges. Traditional feedback controllers cannot be used to regulate such processes on the saturation edges because there are abrupt dynamics changes and no feedback information at saturations. Optimization-based methods such as the model predictive control can treat this control problem without difficulty when the saturation levels and dynamics are known and not varying. Otherwise, an adaptation scheme to track the saturation levels and dynamics should be included. Here, for very simple methods to treat this control problem, two control methods based on the recent slope seeking method and the relay feedback method are proposed. Their performances are evaluated with simulations applying them to a second order liquid level system with saturation. Simulations show that these proposed control methods can find and maintain operating point of the saturation edge under 5% relative error.

This paper proposes a characterization method based on the reference memory to characterize memory compiler quickly and accurately. In order to maintain the accuracy of the memory complier and to minimize characterization time, the proposed method models the trends of the generated memories by selecting the reference memories after analyzing the timing trends of the memory compiler. To validate the proposed method, we characterized the 110nm memory compiler derived from 130nm memroy compiler. The average error rate of the characteristics of the memories generated by the proposed method and SPICE simulation is lower than ${\pm}0.1%$. Furthermore, we designed memory BIST test chips at 110nm and 180nm processes and the results of the function test show that the yield is 98.8% and 98.3%, respectively. Therefore, the proposed method is useful to characterize the memory compiler.

Recently, with the development of the IT industry, interest in computer convergence technology is increasing in various fields. Especially, in the semiconductor field, a vision system that uses a camera and computer convergence is often used to inspect semiconductor device defects in the production process. Various systems have been studied to remove noise, which is a major cause of degradation in processing of data related to these image processing systems. In this paper, we try to detect defects in BGA (Ball Grid Array) package devices by recognizing defects in advance during mass production. We propose a measurement system using a Gaussian filter, a Median filter, and an Average filter, which are widely used for noise reduction of image data Applying the proposed system to the manufacturing process of the BGA package can be used to judge whether the defect is good or not, and it is expected that productivity will be improved.

In this paper, we propose a high-performance BICS(built-in current sensor) which is fabricated in 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ single-poly two-metal process for IDDQ testing of CMOS VLSI circuit. The CUT(circuit under test) is 4-bit full adder with a bridging fault. Using two nMOSs that have different size, two bridging faults that have different resistance values are injected in the CUT. And controlling a gate node, we experimented various fault effects. The proposed BICS detects the faulty current at the end of the clock period, therefore it can test a CUT that has a much longer critical propagation delay time and larger area than conventional BICSs. As expected in the HSPICE simulation, experimental results of fabricated chip demonstrated that the proposed BICS can exactly detect bridging faults in the circuit.

Powder Injection Molding(PM) is an advanced and complicated technology for manufacturing ceramic or metal products making use of a conventional injection molding process, which is generally used for plastic products. Among many technologies involved in the successful PIM, injection molding process is one of the key steps to form a desired shape out of powder/binder mixtures. Thus, it is of great importance to have a numerical tool to predict the powder injection molding filling process. In this regard, a finite element analysis system has been developed for numerical simulations of filling process of powder injection molding. Powder/polymer mixtures during the filling pro cess of injection molding can be rheologically characterized as Non-Newtonian fluids with a so called yield phenomena and have a peculiar feature of apparent slip phenomena on the wall boundaries surrounding mold cavity. Therefore, in the present study, a physical modeling of the filling process of powder/polymer mixtures was developed to take into account both the yield stress and slip phenomena and a finite element formulation was developed accordingly. The numerical analysis scheme for filling simulation is accomplished by combining a finite element method with control volume technique to simulate the movement of flow front and a finite difference method to calculate the temperature distribution. The present study presents the modeling, numerical scheme and some numerical analysis results showing the effect of the yield stress and slip phenomena.

This paper describes a research work of developing a computer-aided design of blanking and piercing for irregular-shaped sheet metal products. An approach to the CAD system is based on the knowledge-based rules. Knowledge for the CAD system is formulated from plasticity theories, experimental results and the empirical knowledge of field experts. The system has been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD with a personal computer and is composed of four main modules, which are input and shape treatment, flat pattern layout, production feasibility check, and strip layout module. Based on knowledge-based rules, the system is designed by considering several factors, such as radius and angle of bend. material and thickness of product, complexities of blank geometry and punch profile, and availability of press. This system is capable of unfolding a formed sheet metal part to give flat pattern and automatically account for the adjustment of bend allowances to match tooling requirements by checking the dimensions and relationships of parts of the folded product. Also this system can carry out a process planning which is obtained from results of irregular shape of product that was successful in production feasibility check module according to flat pattern layout and generate strip layout drawing in graphic forms. The developed system provides its efficiency for flat pattern layout, and strip layout for the irregularly shaped sheet metal products.

This paper describes a research work of developing a computer-aided design of irregularly shaped-sheet metal product with bending and piercing operation for progressive working. An approach to the CAD system is based on the knowledge-based rules. Knowledge for the CAD system is formulated from plasticity theories, experimental results and the empirical knowledge of field experts. The system has been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD with a personal computer and is composed of five main modules, which are input and shape treatment, flat pattern-layout, production feasibility check, blank-layout, and strip-layout module. Based on knowledge-based rules, the system is designed by considering several factors, such as radius and angle of bend, material and thickness of product, complexities of blank geometry and punch profile, and availability of press. This system is capable of unfolding a formed sheet metal part to give flat pattern and automatically account for the adjustment of bend allowances to match tooling requirements by checking dimensions and the best utilization ratio of blank-layout within bending production feasibility area which is beyond ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ degrees intersecting angle between grain flow and bending edge line and which is suitable to progressive bending operation. Also the strip-layout drawing generated by a bending and a piercing operation according to punch profiles divided into automatically for external area of irregularly shaped-sheet metal product is displayed in graphic forms.

Glutinous rice was microparticulated and air-classified at different air classifying wheel speeds (ACWS) of 20,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm in a Turboplex classifier. The starch was concentrated to a coarse fraction and the protein was shifted to a fine fraction. The degree of starch damage of the coarse fraction was comparable to that of traditionally soaked glutinous rice. Yoogwa(Korean cracker) made from the fractions of $ACWS\;15,000{\sim}20,000\;rpm$ and below ACWS 15,000 rpm was very comparable to that made by the traditional method in degree of puffing, hardness and internal structure. It was also confirmed by the sensory evaluation, indicating that the microparticulation/air classification technology could be applied to produce raw material of Yoogwa. The developed noble process could exclude the long soaking step in the traditional Yoogwa process and reduce the pretest time remarkably.
