유기 발광 다이오드 (OLED)의 상용화를 위해 해결해야할 기술적 문제 중하나는 장수명이다. OLED에 적용된 유기물 층은 수분과 산소에 취약하여 소자 수명을 단축하는 요소로 작용하는데, 이를 해결하기 위해 유기물을 보호하며, 유기물 내로 침투되는 수분과 산소를 제어하기 위한 보호 층의 증착이 필수적이다. 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는, 사이클 화학 기상 증착법(C-CVD)을 이용하여 SiN/SiCN/SiN 구조의 무기 박막을 증착하여 유기물 보호층으로서의 적용 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 이 때 각층의 두께는 각 각 10 nm이다. 증착된 다층 무기 박막은 비정질 상으로 수분 침투 보호막으로서 적당하다. 다층 무기 박막의 수분에 대한 저항성은 칼슘을 이용한 투과도 변화를 이용하여 측정하였다. 칼슘을 이용한 투과도 측정을 위해 고분자 PEN 필름위에 칼슘을 60nm 두께로 증착 시키고, 이어서 무기물인 SiN/SiCN/SiN의 다층 박막을 확산 방지층으로 증착 하였다. 제작된 소자는 온도 $85^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 85%의 가혹 조건에서 시간에 따른 표면 변화 및 투과도의 변화를 측정하였다. SiN/SiCN/SiN 구조를 갖는 무기 박막 층의 투습도는 3000시간까지는 $3.2{\times}10-5g/m/day$를 유지하였다. 이는 OLED 소자의 상용화를 위한 요구 조건에 근접한 값이다. 그러나 투습도는 측정 시간이 6000시간이 지난 후에 급격 증가하는데 이것은 30nm 두께의 SiN/SiCN/SiN의 확산 방지층에 임계 수명이 존재 한다는 것을 의미 한다고 할 수 있다. C-CVD 기술에 의해 제조된 다층 무기 박막 보호 층의 경계면에서 각 층간의 intermixing 현상이 관측되었으며, 이는 무기물 층의 결함과 핀 홀을 통해 내부로 확산 되는 수분의 침투 경로를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구 결과는 유연 기판 상에 제작된 OLED 소자에 적용 가능한 기술로서 소자 수명의 연장 뿐만 아니라 경량화에도 기여할 수 있는 기술이다.

Lysozyme crystallization was performed by using flow-focusing chip in droplet-based microfluidic system. Water-in-oil droplets were formed in the system and collected on petri-dish and cross type mold. Liquid-liquid reaction of lysozyme and sodium chloride occurred in the droplet and crystals were observed through microscope. Solution pH was varied as 4.8 and 7.2. Crystals of polyhedron and plate-like shape were obtained at pH 4.8, while needle structure crystals formed at pH 7.2. Lysozyme in single droplet for two pHs were crystallized with constant or decreased droplet size. However, crystals at pH 4.8 were only obtained in the droplet of which size was increased by the interaction between droplets. Droplet volume did not change at pH 7.2 and crystals formed in both droplets.

The CA (Control Assembly) of an SFR has a CRA(Control Rod Assembly) with an inner duct and control rod. During an emergency situation, the CRA falls into the duct of the CA for a rapid shut-down. The drop time and impact velocity of the CRA are important parameters with respect to the reactivity insertion time and the structural integrity of the CRA. The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamic behavior and integrity of the CRA owing to a drop impact. The impact analysis of the CRA under normal/abnormal drop conditions was carried out using the commercial FEM code LS-DYNA. Results of the drop impact analysis demonstrated that the CRA maintained structural integrity, and could be safely inserted into the flow hole of the damper under abnormal conditions.

EMAT has been applied in various fields for flaw detection and material characterization because it has noncontact property in wave generation and a good mode selectivity. Unfortunately, however, EMAT shows low signal to noise ratio relative to commercial contact transducer because of low energy conversion efficiency. If the phase matching through the control of time delay between each coil consisting of the array EMAT is accomplished, it is expected that it will be a solution for the improvement of low signal to noise ratio. In this experiment, the phased array EMATs which consists of 3 or 4 meander coils and one big magnet were fabricated for surface and vertical shear wave generation. Effect of phased delay control on signal directivity and amplitude enhancement was verified. A slit with the depth of 0.5 mm and a side-drill hole of 0.5 mm diameter were clearly detected by fabricated phased array EMATs, respectively.

This paper aims at improving the accuracy and computational efficiency in reconstructing building boundaries from airborne Lidar points. We proposed an adaptive convex hull algorithm, which is a modified version of local convex hull algorithm in three ways. The candidate points for boundary are first selected to improve efficiency depending on their local density. Second, a searching-space is adjusted adaptively, based on raw data structure, to extract boundary points more robustly. Third, distance between two points and their IDs are utilized in detecting the seed points of inner boundary to distinguish between inner yards and inner holes due to errors or occlusions. The practicability of the approach were evaluated on two urban areas where various buildings exist. The proposed method showed less shape-dissimilarity(8.5%) and proved to be two times more efficient than the other method.

In recent years, the number of people suffering from depression due to hair loss has been increasing. The treatment methods such as clinical pathology and vanity surgery have been developed. There are therapies and materials for hair growth promotion and hair loss prevention. But the effectiveness of such therapies and materials is not fully evaluated and some side-effects have been reported. In this study, microneedle therapy using very thin and delicate needles promotes absorption of drug. During this therapy, the microneedle makes micro holes that help absorbion of drugs into the scalp. In this study, absorbion of fermented soybean were evaluated. The ingredient has antioxidant, antiandrogen, and antithrombosis effect for alopecia. The fermented soybean is more effective for complex hair loss when used with microneedle. It is because of the microneedle's excellent drug delivery system (DDS). This therapy that increases the absorption of fermented soybean is a very useful scalp care method which prevents, treats and controls alopecia. This microneedle therapy using fermented soybean is an advanced technology for scalp care.

The entry of an aging society require a safety of senior citizens against emergency. However, a home and a residence of senior citizens should not consider a characteristic of safety and the unfortunate accidents could happen in the house or the residence. Especially if the elders live alone then they have a help function using a call button in a bathroom or a closed area. But, a sliding or an overbalance in a bathroom or a closed area of a home may happen suddenly how can require a help in real time. That is a very serious accident to senior citizens. In this paper, we developed the context-aware system using the various sensors for collecting the data which is an activities of daily living of elders and we designed the recognition method using case-based reasoning for detecting the anomaly and the emergency context in the bathroom or the closed area in house. After that, if the anomaly or the emergency are detected then it call to a family or a relative or an administration in real-time.

Polymerization of carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex takes longer time than that of acrylic emulsion due to delocalization of radical in butadiene unit having conjugated double bond. A latex stability is the most important properties owing to use intact without separating polymer from base latex. For reducing polymerization time without decreasing any properties of latex, carbon tetra-chloride which has been used as the most popular chain transfer agent was replaced to combination of tert-dodecylmercaptane and ${\alpha}$-methylstyrene dimer. The replacement yielded reducement or 2 hr in polymerization time. In the increment step, charge amount of acrylic acid was limited to 0.3 part to restrain viscosity enhancement. Just after initial step, addition of 0.1 part acrylamide prevent polymer chain from diffusing between two region followed by giving hardness and final good adhesive force to latex particles.

In this paper, depth of foreground is analysed by focus and color analysis grouping for 2D/3D video conversion and depth of foreground progressing method is preposed by using focus and motion information. Candidate foreground image is generated by estimated movement of image focus information for extracting foreground from 2D video. Area of foreground is extracted by filling progress using color analysis on hole area of inner object existing candidate foreground image. Depth information is generated by analysing value of focus existing on actual frame for allocating depth at generated foreground area. Depth information is allocated by weighting motion information. Results of previous proposed algorithm is compared with proposed method from this paper for evaluating the quality of generated depth information.
