We present a microfabricated three-dimensional (3-D) hybrid biopolymer micro cantilever which can measure the contractile force of cardiomyocytes and analyze the force dependence on different types of surface. To make different conditions of the cell seeding surface, we fabricated the specific type of cantilever which was grooved on the surface. The presented cantilever was facilitated to measure bending of the cantilever and to calculate the contractile force of cardiomyocytes. Also, we demonstrate the dependence of the morphology for the cardiomyocytes seeded on a plain surface and a grooved surface. Finally, we show the dependence of force for the cardiomyocytes on a different surface.

A small size broadband microstrip patch antenna with small ground plane has been fabricated using MEMS. Multiple layer substrates we used to realize small size and broadband characteristics. The microstrip patch is divided into 4 pieces and each patch is connected to each other using a metal microstrip line. The fabrication please process is simple and only one mask is needed. Two types of microtrip antennas are fabrication Type A is the microstrip antenna with metal lines and type B is the microstrip antenna without metal lines. The size of proposed microstip antenna is $8{\times}12{\times}2mm^3$ and the experimental results show that the antenna type A and type B have the bandwidth of 420MHz at 5.3 GHz and 480MHz at 5.66 GHz, respectively

This paper presents a lateral resistive contact RF MEMS switch using comb drive. Our goal was to fabricate the RF MEMS switch with high reliability and good RF characteristics for front end module in wireless transceiver system. Therefore, comb drive is used for large contact force in order to achieve low insertion loss and small off-state capacitance in order to achieve high isolation. The single crystalline silicon is used for mechanical reliability. As a result, the developed switch showed insertion loss less than 0.44 dB at 2 GHz, isolation greater than 60 dB, and low actuation voltage at 26 V.

In a detection system based on laser light scattering, focusing an excitation laser beam into a focal point of a channel in a microfluidic chip is important for obtaining the highest excitation intensity, and consequently for obtaining a laser light scattering signal using a photodetector with a high efficiency. In this paper, we present a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic chip consisting of an integrated PDMS microlens for cell detection based on laser light scattering. We fabricated PDMS microlens for optical detection system by simply putting down on PDMS chips. The PDMS microlens was fabricated by photoresist reflow and replica molding. This fabrication technique is simple and has an excellent property in terms of the microlens and a high-dimensional accuracy. The PDMS microlens integrated on the PDMS microfluidic chip has been verified to improve the laser intensity, and accordingly, the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of laser light scattering detection for red blood cells(RBCs)

Vertical interconnection scheme using novel silicon-through-via for 3D MEMS devices or stacked package is proposed and fabricated to demonstrate its feasibility. The suggested silicon-through-via replaces electroplated copper, which is used as an interconnecting material in conventional through-via, with doped silicon. Adoption of doped silicon instead of metal eliminates thermal-mismatch-induced stress, which can make troubles in high temperature MEMS processes, such as wafer bonding and LP-CVD(low pressure chemical vapor deposition). Two silicon layers of $30{\mu}m$ thickness are stacked on the substrate. The through-via arrays with spacing $40{\mu}m$ and $50{\mu}m$ are fabricated successfully. Electrical characteristics of the through-via are measured and analyzed. The measured resistance of the silicon-through-via is $169.9\Omega$.

The purpose of this study is to create address standardization through an Algorithm based on cadastral maps, as well as to establish a method of transforming one information area to all of the domestic areas in relation to the geographic information system. To do this, it analyzed the current level of e-government cadastral data and their integration strategy with addresses of both the administrator and the cadastral data. By doing this it is be able to suggest an application method for the Algorithm. The algorithm proposed from this study have a built-in GUI and correlate addresses between the administration and the cadastral map, it can analyze matching success rates. This study is to provide a more efficient method for co-operative work between private sector and public sector. In addition, we can expect that the information strategy of local government will become more active.

We have achieved a high aspect ratio track-following microactuator (TFMA) which is capable of driving 0.3 ${\mu}m$ magnetic head for hard disk drive (HDD). it was fabricated on silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer with 20 ${\mu}m$ trick active silicon and 2 ${\mu}m$ thick thermally grown oxide and piggyback electrostatic principle was used for driving TFMA. The first vibration mode frequency of TFMA was 18.5 kHz which is enough for a recording density of higher than 10 Gb/in$^2$. Its displacement was 1.4 ${\mu}m$ when 15 V dc bias plus 15 V ac sinusoidal driving input was applied and its electrostatic force was 50 N. The fabricated actuator shows 7.51 dB of gain margin and 50.98$^{\circ}$ of phase margin for 2.21 kHz servo-bandwidth.

Currently the telephone service using Internet grows and the recent introduction of a smart phone is expected to accelerate the trend. In particular, considering the domestic situation that the wireless broadband (WiBro) system deployed over the nation, the telephone service over WiBro can be a solution toward its fast expansion. Unlike telephone service over a conventional telephone network or mobile network, however, internet telephone cannot guarantee it service quality, which can be severer in a wireless environment such as a WiBro network. Therefore, a more strict and systematic management for controlling the quality of internet telephone service over WiBro in a more efficient way. As the first step to establish the management system, this paper proposes a scheme to manage the quality of internet telephone service over WiBro and introduces a software developed for the purpose. The developed software is installed on a user terminal and facilitates efficient service quality management by measuring the quality of internet telephone service over WiBro in terms of VoIP metric, network metric, and wireless metric.

Recently the government civil affairs administration system has been advanced to a cloud computing environment from a simple network environment. The electronic civil affairs processing environment in recent years means cloud computing environment based bid data services. Therefore, there exist lots of problems in processing big data for the government civil affairs service compared to the conventional information acquisition environment. That is, it processes new information through collecting required information from different information systems much further than the information service in conventional network environments. According to such an environment, applications of providing administration information for processing the big data have been becoming a major target of illegal attackers. The objectives of this study are to prevent illegal uses of the electronic civil affairs service based on IPs nationally located in civil affairs centers and to protect leaks of the important data retained in these centers. For achieving it, the safety, usability, and security of services are to be ensured by using different authentication processes and encryption methods based on these processes.
