This paper presents a novel fabrication process for a tapered hollow metallic microneedle array using backside exposure of SU-8, and analytic solutions of critical buckling of a tapered hollow microneedle. An SU-8 meta was formed on a Pyrex glass substrate and another SU-8 layer, which was spun on top of the SU-8 mesa, was exposed through the backside of the glass substrate. An array of SU-8 tapered pillar structures. with angles in the range of $3.1^{\circ}{\sim}5^{\circ}$ was formed on top of the SU-8 mesa. Conformal electrodeposition of metal was carried out followed by a mechanical polishing using a pianarizing polymeric layer. All organic layers were then removed to create a metallic hollow microneedle array with a fluidic reservoir on the backside. Both $200{\mu}m\;and\;400{\mu}m$ tall, 10 by 10 arrays of metallic microneedles with inner diameters of the tip in the range of $33.6{\sim}101\;{\mu}m$ and wall thickness of $10{\mu}m\;-\;20{\mu}m$ were fabricated. Analytic solutions of the critical buckling of arbitrary-angled truncated cone-shaped columns are also presented. It was found that a single $400{\mu}m$ tall hollow cylindrical microneedle made of electroplated nickel with a wall thickness of $20{\mu}m$, a tapered angle of $3.08^{\circ}$ and a tip inner diameter of $33.6{\mu}m$ has a critical buckling force of 1.8 N. This analytic solution can be used for square or rectangular cross-sectioned column structures with proper modifications.

Structural features and electrochemical performances of cokes pyrolized from oxidized cokes were examined, and compared with KOH-activated coke. Needle cokes ($d_{002}=3.5{\AA} $), having a graphene layer structure, were changed to a single phase of graphite oxide after oxidation treatment with an acidic solution having an $NaCLO_3$/needle coke composition ratio of above 7.5, and the inter-layer distance of the oxidized coke was expanded to $6.9{\AA} $ with increasing oxygen content. After heating at $200^{\circ}C$, the oxidized coke was pyrolized to the graphene layer structure with inter-layer distance of $3.6{\AA} $. However, the change of the inter-layer distance of the needle coke was not observed in the KOH activation process. On the other hand, an intercalation of electrolyte ions into the pyrolized coke, observed at first charge, occurred at 1.0 V, in which the value was lower than that of KOH-activation coke. The cell capacitor using pyrolized coke exhibited a lower internal resistance of $0.57{\Omega}$ in 1 kHz, and a larger capacitance per weight and volume of 30.3 F/g and 26.9 F/ml at the two-electrode system in the potential range 0~2.5 V than those of the cell capacitor using KOH-activation of coke. This better electrochemical performance may be associated with structure defects in the graphene layer derived from the process of the inter-layer expansion and shrinkage.

Injection technology is one of the important technologies in a diesel engine. Many studies have done on the injection system. In this study, the fuel chamber geometry, the orifice ratio and the needle lift of the injection valve of a diesel engine for generating electricity are varied and tested. The injection pressure, duration and spray shapes are produced with pressure transducer, needle lift sensor and highspeed camera. The result shows that the nozzle hole size has influence on the rail pressure and injection duration sensuously.

지뢰의 제거에서 가장 중요한 요소는 지뢰의 탐지인데, 현재 이용되고 있는 장비들의 성능에는 나름대로 장.단점들이 있어 주로 미국과 유럽에서 새로운 지뢰의 센서기수리을 개발하려는 노력이 대단히 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 캄보디아나 아프간 등 전쟁 또는 내전의 후유증으로 제거되지 않고 방치된 무수히 많은 지뢰들에 의해 민간이니들이 패해가 계속되자 UN을 중심으로 한 소위 '인도적 지뢰제거'(Humanitarian Demining)사업이 펼쳐지게 되면서 선진국을 중심으로 이 분야의 R/D 예산이 늘어나기 시작하였다.

The effect of punching density and material composition on the tensile properties and optimum condition of manufacturing of carbon needle punched perform was studies. The interlaminar tensile strength were increased but the intralaminar tensile strength were decreased with increasing punching density. In the case of the performs composed of continuous oxi-PAN fabrics, there was a considerable improvement of the interlaminar and intralaminar tensile strength.

During a hemisphere-type compression molding, the wrinkles are caused by complex stress condition. It is very important to clarify the degree of wrinkles in order to have good products. In this paper, the effects of numbers of needling and initial area on the degree of wrinkles are studied. the degree of wrinkle is expressed as nonhomogeneity.

토목섬유제품 중에서 차수재조 널리 사용되는 지오멤브레인은 1$\times$$10^{-12}$의 낮은 투수계수를 갖고 있지만 시공전후 찢어지거나 구멍이 뚫리게 되면 침출수의 유출이 발생하여 환경오염을 일으키게 된다. 이를 보완하기 위해 친수성과 팽윤성이 큰 벤토나이트 물질을 이용한 Geosynthetic Clay Liner(GCL) 복합재료가 개발되었다. GCL은 지오텍스타일이나 지오멤브레인사이에 벤토나이트를 충진시키고, 접착제 또는 니들펀칭(needle-punching)이나 스티칭(stitching)과 같은 기계적인 방법으로 결합한 복합재료이다. (중략)

습식응고법에 의한 다공성 폴리우레탄-부직포 합성피혁은 일반적으로 DMF 또는 MEK 둥의 용제로 희석한 폴리우레탄 수지에 니들펀칭 부직포를 함침하여 기포를 준비한 후, 폴리우레탄으로 코팅하여 비용매인 물에서 응고하는 방법으로 제조한다. 따라서 합성피혁은 부직포의 물성, 함침조건, 코팅조건 및 응고조건에 따라 물성의 차이를 나타낼 것으로 판단된다[l]. 특히 합성피혁의 물성은 폴리우레탄 코팅층의 내부에 형성되는 셀(cell)의 크기, 분포 및 형태에 크게 의존한다. (중략)
