In this study, we present small-size, low-power, and high-speed electromagnetic flapping shutters for phone cameras. These shutters are composed of trapezoidal twin blades suspended by H-type torsional springs. The existing electrostatic rolling and flapping shutters need high input voltage, while the existing electromagnetic rotating shutters are too big to be used for phone cameras. To achieve low-power and high-speed angle motion for small-size electromagnetic flapping shutters for camera phones, low-inertia trapezoidal twin blades, each suspended by the low-stiffness H-type torsional springs, are employed. The electromagnetic flapping shutters used in this experimental study have steady-state rotational angles of $48.8{\pm}1.4^{\circ}$ and $64.4{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$ in the magentic fields of 0.15 T and 0.30 T, respectively, for an input current of 60 mA; the maximum overshoot angles are $80.2{\pm}3.5^{\circ}$ and $90.0{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$ in the magentic fields of 0.15 T and 0.30 T, respectively. The rising/settling times of the shutter while opening are 1.0 ms/20.0 ms, while those while closing are 1.7 ms/10.3 ms. Thus, we experimentally demonstrated that the smallsize (${\sim}8{\times}8{\times}2\;mm^3$), low-power (${\leq}60\;mA$), and high-speed (~1/370 s) electromagnetic flapping shutters are suitable for phone cameras.

In this work, an analytical models for the threshold voltage and flat band voltage have been suggested and proved using 3-dimensional device simulator. The method for device design guideline and its example in nanowire junctionless transistor and example of device design of was also presented. One can find that the suggested model for threshold voltage and flat band voltage agrees with 3-dimension simulation results. The threshold voltage and flat band voltage are decreased with the increase of nanowire radius, gate oxide thickness, and channel impurity doping concentration. When the work function of gate material and the ratio of ON and OFF current is given, the device design guide line for nanowire junctionless transistor has been proposed. It is known that the device with high impurity channel concentration can be fabricated with th decreased of nanowire radius and gate oxide thickness.

Design and Implementation of Clipcast Service via Terrestrial DMB This paper outlines the system design and the implementation process of clipcast service that can send clips of video, mp3, text, images, etc. to terrestrial DMB terminals. To provide clipcast service in terrestrial DMB, a separate data channel needs to be allocated and this requires changes in the existing bandwidth allocation. Clipcast contents can be sent after midnight at around 3 to 4 AM, when terrestrial DMB viewship is low. If the video service bit rate is lowered to 352 Kbps and the TPEG service band is fully used, then 320 Kbps bit rate can be allocated to clipcast. To enable clipcast service, the terminals' DMB program must be executed, and this can be done through SMS and EPG. Clipcast service applies MOT protocol to transmit multimedia objects, and transmits twice in carousel format for stable transmission of files. Therefore, 72Mbyte data can be transmitted in one hour, which corresponds to about 20 minutes of full motion video service at 500Kbps data rate. When running the clip transmitted through terrestrial DMB data channel, information regarding the length of each clip is received through communication with the CMS(Content Management Server), then error-free files are displayed. The clips can be provided to the users as preview contents of the complete VOD contents. In order to use the complete content, the user needs to access the URL allocated for that specific content and download the content by completing a billing process. This paper suggests the design and implementation of terrestrial DMB system to provide clipcast service, which enables file download services as provided in MediaFLO, DVB-H, and the other mobile broadcasting systems. Unlike the other mobile broadcasting systems, the proposed system applies more reliable SMS method to activate the DMB terminals for highly stable clipcast service. This allows hybrid, i.e, both SMS and EPG activations of terminals for clipcast services.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate of backwash system of hydrodynamic separator filter (HSF) with solar powered submerged pumps. It consists of a photovoltaic solar array, control electronics, battery, and two submersible pump powered by a 12 voltage DC motor. The laboratory scale study on treatable potential of micro particles using backwash HSF that was a combined with perlite filter cartridge and backwash nozzles. Since it was not easy to use actual storm water in the scaled-down hydraulic model investigations, it was necessary to reproduce ranges of particle sizes with synthetic materials. The synthesized storm runoff was made with water and addition of particles; ion exchange resin partices, silica gel particles, and commercial area manhole sediment particles. HSF was made of acryl resin with 250 mm of diameter filter chamber and overall height of 800 mm. Four case test were performed with different backwashing conditions and determined the SS removal efficiency with various surface loading rates. The operated range of surface loading rate was about 308~$1,250m^3/m^2/day$. It was found that SS removal efficiency of HSF using two submersible pumps improved by about 18% compared with HSF without backwash. Nonpoint control devices with solar water pumping systems would be useful for backwashing the filter in areas with not suppling electricity and reduce filter media exchange cost.

In recent, multi-sector nutriculture in which each sectors are managed with different compositions and supplying amounts of nutrient solution is being prevalent especially in large-scale greenhouses. This study was carried out to develop an automatic mixing and supplying system of nutrient solution for the multi-sector greenhouse which can control various compositions of nutrient solution and supplying amounts for each sector. The stock solution control device could control discharge of the stock solution with device actuating time. The experimental result showed high correlation between the discharge and the actuating time. The system could make nutrient solution of various compositions and showed possibility of changing compositions of nutrient solution according to changes of growth stages or environments. Undesirable remnant nutrient-solution effect on the next supply was decreased by lowering RC of the previous nutrient solution remaining in the tank and supply pipe through rinse process. To evaluate performance of the developed system, experiments that compare N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , and P $O_4$$^{3-}$ concentrations of nutrient solution made in laboratory level with those made by the developed system were conducted. The experimental results showed that the deviations for N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , and P $O_4$$^{3-}$ concentrations of nutrient solution composited by the developed system were -2.36％ and -5.15％, respectively.

In this paper is designed a 256-bit synchronous OTP(one-time programmable) memory required in application fields such as automobile appliance power ICs, display ICs, and CMOS image sensors. A 256-bit synchronous memory cell consists of NMOS capacitor as antifuse and access transistor without a high-voltage blocking transistor. A gate bias voltage circuit for the additional blocking transistor is removed since logic supply voltage VDD(=1.5V) and external program voltage VPPE(=5.5V) are used instead of conventional three supply voltages. And loading current of cell to be programmed increases according to RON(on resistance) of the antifuse and process variation in case of the voltage driving without current constraint in programming. Therefore, there is a problem that program voltage can be increased relatively due to resistive voltage drop on supply voltage VPP. And so loading current can be made to flow constantly by using the current driving method instead of the voltage driving counterpart in programming. Therefore, program voltage VPP can be lowered from 5.9V to 5.5V when measurement is done on the manufactured wafer. And the sens amplifier circuit is simplified by using the sens amplifier of clocked inverter type instead of the conventional current sent amplifier. The synchronous OTP of 256 bits is designed with Magnachip $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The layout area if $298.4{\times}314{\mu}m2$.

기후변화는 전 지구 수문순환과 수자원 분포에 커다란 영향을 준다. 하지만 지금까지 관측되어온 지구상의 건조도 변화에 있어서 기후의 자연변동성의 영향과 인간활동에 의한 온난화의 영향을 명시적으로 밝힌 연구는 존재하지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 구동형 모델과 물리 모델을 이용해 관측 기반의 전구 수자원 분포를 1902년부터 2014년까지 재구축함으로써 지구의 평균온도가 약 1도 상승해온 지난 세기에 걸쳐 건기의 수자원 분포가 어떻게 변해왔는지 보인다. 재구축된 전구 변화 패턴은 인간활동에 의한 온실가스 증가등을 고려한 기후 모델 시뮬레이션과 흡사함을 알 수 있었으며 기후의 자연변동성만을 고려한 기후 모델 시뮬레이션에서는 발견되지 않았다. 주로 북아시아, 북미, 유럽 등 중위도 온대지방에서 더욱더 건조한 건기가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며 이는 강수량의 감소보다는 증발산의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 나타난다. 이와 같은 건조도의 변화는 미래 있어서 또한 인류에 대한 커다란 위협으로 자리한다. 미래 기후에서의 가뭄의 변화에 대해 다양한 연구들이 존재하지만 대부분 높은 수준의 온난화 (예를들어 RCP-SSP 585)에서의 영향에 국한된다. 다시 말해 인류가 21세기 중반에 달성을 목표로 하는 탄소중립이 가뭄의 측면에서 어떤 영향을 주게 될지에 대한 연구는 아직 충분하지 않다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 약한 혹은 중간 수준의 기후변화 시나리오를 이용해 파리협약에서 목표로 하는 1.5℃와 2℃ 상승에 따라 전 지구의 건조도 분포가 어떻게 변하고 그 변화에 있어서 어떠한 수문기후학적 메커니즘이 작용하는지 밝힌다. 지중해 연안 지역에서는 건조도의 가속이 +1.5℃와 +2℃사이에 존재하였으나 동아시아에서는 +1.5℃와 +2℃ 모두에서 습윤해짐을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 지역적 불균일성은 기후변화 대응 노력에 있어서 과거 온실가스 배출에 대한 책임뿐만 아니라 다양한 부문에 걸친 미래의 잠재 적응 노력 또한 고려해야만 함을 시사한다. 본 연구는 제6차 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project의 Land Surface, Snow, Soil-moisture Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6/LS3MIP)와 Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts (HAPPI)의 다중 모델 앙상블 시뮬레이션 결과를 이용했다.

최근 나노광전소자 응용에 큰 관심을 받는 물질인 산화물 나노선은 앞으로 불어 올 나노소재 시대를 여는 선두 물질이다. 이러한 산화물 나노선 가운데 가장 큰 관심을 받는 물질로는 산화아연 나노선을 들 수 있다. 삼화아연 나노선은 상온에서 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지 및 큰 밴드갭을 가지고 있으며 투명성 및 소자구동시 안정성을 지니고 있어 그 응용이 기대된다. 하지만 이러한 나노선을 이용한 광전소자 응용은 bottom-up 방식을 기초로 한 대면적 소자제작이 어렵다. 이러한 bottom-up 방식의 나노소자 제작에서 필요한 나노선 성장기술은 금속 catalyst 없이 대면적 성장, 나노선 수직어레이, 나노선의 고온성장, 기판 사이에 발생하는 자발적 계면층 제거 등으로 대표된다. 또한 나노선의 결정성 및 광특성 향상을 위해서는 고온성장이 불가피한데, 실리콘 기판과 같이 격자상수 불일치도가 큰 기판에서는 나노선 성장이 이루어지지 않고 다시 탈착되어 구조물이 성장되지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 선택적 삼원계 단결정 씨앗층을 이용하여 길이/직경 비가 매우 향상된 MgZnO 나노와이어를 interfacial layer 없이 수직으로 고온에서 성장하여 산화물 전계방출 에미터로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.
