An under-tension system is frequently employed for large-span structures to reduce the deflection and member size. In this study, a microgenetic algorithm was used to find the optimum cross-section of truss structures with an undertension cable under transverse loading. Maximum deflection, allowable stress, and buckling were considered constraints. The proposed approach was verified using a 10-bar truss sample that shows good agreement with the previous results. In the numerical results, minimum-weight design of the under-tension structure was performed for various magnitudes of pretension.

내장형 시스템에 보다 강력한 성능이 요구됨에 따라 내장형 마이크로 프로세서는 보다 깊은 파이프라인을 채택하고 있다. 따라서, 내장형 마이크로 프로세서는 보다 정확한 분기 예측기를 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 분기 예특기의 구조, 성능 및 전력 소모와 전체 시스템의 전력 소모 사이의 trade-off를 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 내장형 환경에서 시스템의 전력 소모는 설계 시 매우 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 특히 내장형 시스템의 요구사항은 동작할 응용 프로그램에 의하여 규정되고, 전력 소모도 응용프로그램의 구조와 강하게 연관되어 있다. 본 논문의 목표는 내장형 환경에서 성능-전력 공간에서 분기 예측기를 분석하는 기법을 제시하는 것에 있다. 이를 통하여, 분기 예측기 테이블의 성능-전력을 고려한 최적화된 크기를 찾을 수 있다. 이러한 목표는 수학적 모델링을 통한 정량적 예측의 수행 및 시뮬레이션 결과와의 비교를 통한 수학적 모델링의 검증의 과정을 통하여 이루어진다. 결과는 우리의 수학적 모델이 성능-전력 공간에서 분기 예측기 테이블의 최적화된 크기 결정의 해법을 제공하고 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Micro power generators have been studying to provide high power that micro systems require. Micro power generators need micro combustor. Swiss-roll combustor has been studied about scale, geometry, material. From previous study experiments have shown that swiss-roll combustors require thin walls with low thermal conductivity for maximum performance at small scales. In this work, polyimide combustors with low thermal conductivity and thin thickness are built and tested.

The trend of miniaturization has been applied to the research on micro rockets resulting in prototype rockets fabricated by MEMS processes. In this paper, the development of three-dimensional micro rockets using micro milling as well as the results of combustion and flight tests are discussed. The body of rocket was made of 6061 aluminum cylinder. The three-dimensional micro nozzles were fabricated on brass by micro endmill with 127${\mu}m$ diameter. Two different micro nozzles were fabricated, one with 1.0mm of throat diameter and the other with 0.5mm. The total mass of rocket was 7.32g and that of propellant was 0.65g. The thrust-to-weight ratio was between 1.58 and 1.74, and the flight test with 45 degree launch angle form the ground resulted in 46m-53m of horizontal flight distance

Poly(${\varepsilon}-caprolacton$)/ethyl cellulose (PCL/EC) microcapsules containing pluronic F127 were prepared by a spray drying method. The aqueous phase, 20% of pluronic F127 was dissolved in distilled water, and the organic phase, 5% of PCL and EC were dissolved in dichloromethane. The microcapsules were obtained by spray drying the water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. According to the data of scanning electron microscopy and particle analyzer, tens of micro size microcapsules were observed. On a differential scanning calorimeter, the phase transition temperatures of microcapsules were observed and they were found around those of pluronic F127 and poly(${\varepsilon}-caprolacton$), which were the main components of the microcapsules. At the range of $30{\sim}45^{\circ}C$, temperature-dependent release properties were investigated using fluorescein isothicyanate-dextran (FITC-dextran) and blue dextran as a model drug. When the temperature was increased, the degree of release of microcapsule was also increased. FITC-dextran, the relative low molecular weight, was more released than blue-dextran.

Micro light-emitting diodes (LEDs), with a chip size of 100 micrometers or less, have attracted significant attention in flexible displays, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), and bio-medical applications as next-generation light sources due to their outstanding electrical, optical, and mechanical performance. In the realm of bio-medical devices, it is crucial to transfer tiny micro LED chips onto desired flexible substrates with low precision errors, high speed, and high yield for practical applications on various parts of the human body, including someone's face and organs. This paper aims to introduce a fabrication process for flexible micro LED devices and propose micro LED transfer techniques for cosmetic and medical applications. Flexible micro LED technology holds promise for treating skin disorders, cancers, and neurological diseases.

In this paper, single-feed equilateral triangular microstrip antennas(ETMA) for circular polarization(CP) are designed and studied experimentally. It is demonstrated that by embedding a narrow slot or a cross of unequal slot lengths in the triangular patch circularly polarized radiation RHCP(right-hand circularly polarized wave), LHCP(left-hand circularly polarized wave) of microstrip antennas can easily be achieved using by strategically positioned coaxial single probe feed. And the size of a triangular microstrip patch antenna is smaller than that of a conventional rectangular or circular patch at a given frequency. A single-feed ETMA with a horizontal narrow slot is printed on the substrate of 60 mils thick and the other ETMA with a corss slot of unequal slot lengths is printed on the same substrate. The antenna radiation characteristics are calculated by ENSEMBLE(Ver. 5.0) software, and compared with the experimental results. This results show that the antenna size reduction of about $17%{\sim}2l%$ is obtained as compared to the regular-size CP design.

In this paper, a wideband two-layer H-shaped microstrip antenna for WLAN is designed. To increase the bandwidth of microstrip patch antenna a configuration of stacked type using parastic element is used. Furthermore, to reduce the size of microstrip patch antenna, two techniques are employed . the first one is H-shaped patch type and the second one is that the main radiator and parastic patch are shorted to the ground plane using ten shorting posts. The antenna bandwidth and radiation characteristics are calculated by ENSEMBLE ver. 5.0 simulation software, and compared with the experimental results. Experiment results show that the bandwidth of antenna in 740MHz centered at 5.46㎓(13.5%), which is close agreement with the calculations, 770MHz(13%). Also, the antenna size can be reduced by 71.5% compared with the half wavelength rectangular microstrip antenna using the same substrate at the same frequency.

Effects of continuous oil phase on silver halide nanoparticles were investigated where nanoparticles were prepared using two different types of water-in-oil(W/O) microemulsions containing silver and halide, respectively. Phase behavior experiments for ternary systems containing AOT surfactant, hydrocarbon oil and aqueous solution of an inorganic salt showed that the region of one phase W/O microemulsion was found to be broadened with an increase in the alkyl chain length of a hydrocarbon mainly due to an increase in hydrophilic nature of a surfactant. With the information of phase behavior experiments, silver halide nanoparticles were prepared using different AOT-based microemulsion systems and photomicrographs obtained by transmission electron microscopy indicated that about 10 nm size particles of relatively spherical shape were obtained. It has been found that an increase in alkyl chain length of a hydrocarbon results in a decrease in particle size because of higher intermicellar exchange rate among microemulsion drops. The average particle size was also found to increase with the inorganic salt composition of initial aqueous solution.
