Very large-area multi-projector display systems have wide applications since they provide immersible environments. The brightness of projectors in the system is different due to the design and aging of the bulbs, and optical properties of the projectors. Therefore it is imperative to match the brightness characteristics of projectors in the system. This issue has been addressed by many researchers. The state of the art solution considers characteristic of projector's brightness only. In this paper, we propose a method that takes into account brightness of projector as well as the dynamic range of the input image. We increase the dynamic range of the input image to utilize the maximum possible brightness of a projector while satisfying the spatial smoothness constraint. This achieves a seamless multi-display with dramatic brightness improvement.

We designed an ADC that operated upto 500Msamples/sec based on proposed R-string folding block as well as second folding block. The upper four bits are processed in parallel by the R-string folding block while the lower four bits are processed in pipeline structured second folding block to supply digital output. To verify the circuit performance, we conducted HSPICE simulation and the average power consumption was only 1.34mW even when the circuit was running at its maximum sampling frequency. We further measured noise immunity by applying linear ramp signal to the input. The DNL was between -0.56*LSB and 0.49*LSB and the INL was between -0.93*LSB and 0.72*LSB. We used 0.35 microns MOSIS device parameters for this work.

In this paper, an omnidirectional visible light detector was developed by making the detecting surface of a flexible solar cell in a cylindrical form, which has a uniform receiving pattern in the horizontal plane. This solar cell detector receives simultaneously multiple signal lights incident from different directions and provides electrical power to the ASK demodulator in the receiver. In experiments, time division transmission method was used to receive three signal lights incident from different directions to the solar cell detector. Each signal light was ASK modulated using a carrier of 40 kHz, and the synchronizing pulses required for time division transmission were generated by detecting the 120 Hz AC signal included in the indoor illumination lamp with Cds cells. This receiving structure is useful in constructing an $N{\times}1$ optical link in visible light communication.

To manage the Internet of Things(IoT) Network, which consists of a large number of various devices, a secure and automatic method of strengthening the IoT network is being proposed. Blockchain has a 'smart contract' element of autonomous execution method, which is emerging as a way to not only exchange data quickly without mediators but also securely and automatically manage processes between IoT devices. In this paper, we implement a prototype of the entire IoT device management system based on the EOSIO with DPoS(Distributed Proof of Stake)-based blockchain structure, proposed as a prior study, including the user application DApp(Decentralized Application) and the actual IoT devices (Raspberry Pi-based device, and smart lamp) that interact with the blockchain platform. We analyze the benefits of the system and measure the time overhead to show the feasibility of the system.

New N+N/P HLE solar cells with N+ surface charge accumulated layer in the emitter region are fabricated on the N/P Si epiwafer by incorporating high fixed positive charge density (Qss) at the Si-AR layer interface. Solar cells are classified into two categories, i.e, OCI and NCI Cell depending on AR layer, SiOl and Si3 N4/sioxynitride layer respectively. The distribution of Qss in the Si-AR layer interface is examined by C-V plot. It shows that the surface charge accumulated layer is formed more effectively in the NCI cell (Qss=1.79-1.84$\times$1012cm-2) than in the OCI cell (Qss=3.03~4.40$\times$1011 cm-2). The efficiency characteristics are evaluated under the JCR halogen lamp of 100 mw/cm2. The average (maximum) conversion efficiency for active area is 15.18 (15.46)% in the OCI cell and 16.31 (17.07)% in the NCI cell.

An improved mothod of assessing fuel status by analyzsis of the fission product in the reactor coolant system is proposed. The release mechanism of specific fission products is established for determination of the coefficients in the equations which relate the radioactivities with the amount of defected fuel. Knock-out and migration models are employed in the formulation of the release mechanism. The influence of the tramp uranium is quantified. Sample calculations were made for KNU 1 reactor system using the I-131 and I-133 concentrations in the primary coolant. The estimated number of defected fuel pins in the third and sixth cycles appeared to be $9.34{\pm}1.13\;and\;0.294{\pm}0.092$, respectively.

A numerical solution of temperature and thermally induced stress in a wafer during rapid thermal processing (R.T.P) is obtained, and an analysis of onset and propagation of slip is performed and compared with experiment. In order to calculate temperature distribution of a wafer in R.T.P system, heat conduction equation that incorporated with radiative and convective heat transfer model is solved, and the solution of the equation is calculated numerically using alternating direction implicit (A.D.I) method. In dealing with radiative heat transfer, a partially transparent body that absorbs the radiation energy is assumed and this transparent body undergoes multiple internal reflections and absorptions. Two dimensional (assuming plane stress) thermoelastic constitutive equation is used to calculate thermal stress induced in a wafer and finite element method is employed to solve the equation numerically. The stress resolved in the slip directions on the slip planes of silicon is compared with the yield stress of silicon in order to predict the slip. The result of the analysis shows that the wafer temperature at which slip occurs is affected by the heating rate of the R.T.P system. It is observed that once slip occurs in the wafer, the slip grows.

In this paper we proposed and implemented an incident detection model which combines fuzzy algorithm and traffic pattern in order to enhance the efficiency of incident detection for the highways with lamps. Most of the existing algorithms dealt with highways without lamps and can not be used for detecting incidents in the highways with lamps. The data used for model building are traffic volume, occupancy, and speed data. They have been collected by a loop sensor at 5 minutes interval at a point in the Internal Circular Highway of Seoul for the period of 3 months. In this model, the three parameters collected by sensor were fuzzified and combined with the daily traffic pattern of the link. The test of efficiency of the propsed model was performed by comparing the result of proposed model with traditional APID algorithm and fuzzy algorithm without the pattern data respectively. The result showed significant amount of improvement in reducing the false incident detection rate by 18%.

This study proposes a pixel-patterning method for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on thermal transfer. An infrared lamp was introduced as a heat source, and glass type donor element, which absorbs infrared and generates heat and then transfers the organic layer to the substrate, was designed to selectively sublimate the organic material. A 200 nm-thick layer of molybdenum (Mo) was used as the lightto-heat conversion (LTHC) layer, and a 300 nm-thick layer of patterned silicon dioxide (SiO₂), featuring a low heat-transfer coefficient, was formed on top of the LTHC layer to selectively block heat transfer. To prevent the thermal oxidation and diffusion of the LTHC material, a 100 nm-thick layer of silicon nitride (SiN_x) was coated on the material. The fabricated donor glass exhibited appropriate temperature-increment property until 249 ℃, which is enough to evaporate the organic materials. The alpha-step thickness profiler and X-ray reflection (XRR) analysis revealed that the thickness of the transferred film decreased with increase in film density. In the patterning test, we achieved a 100 ㎛-long line and dot pattern with a high transfer accuracy and a mean deviation of ± 4.49 ㎛. By using the thermal-transfer process, we also fabricated a red phosphorescent device to confirm that the emissive layer was transferred well without the separation of the host and the dopant owing to a difference in their evaporation temperatures. Consequently, its efficiency suffered a minor decline owing to the oxidation of the material caused by the poor vacuum pressure of the process chamber; however, it exhibited an identical color property.

Fatigue crack was detected from a temperature change around surface crack using the thermographic technique. Thermal gradient across the crack decreased very much due to thermal resistance of contact surface in the crack. Heat diffusion flow passing through the discontinuity was visualized in temperature by infrared camera to find and locate the crack. A fatigue crack specimen(SM-45C), which was prepared according to KS specification and notched in its center to initiate fatigue crack from the notch tip, was heated by halogen lamp at the end of one side to generate a heat diffusion flow in lateral direction. A abrupt jump in temperature across the fatigue crack was observed in thermographic image, by which the crack could be located and sized from temperature distribution.
