본 논문에서는 RF 스위치의 엑추에이터로 사용하기 위한 수평구동형 박막형 PZT 엑추에이터의 설계, 제작 및 시험에 관한 것이다 기존의 RF 스위치들은 대부분 수직 방향의 접촉 방식을 채택하고 있고, 대부분 구조체가 두껍지 않은 막으로 이루어져 있어서, 엑추에이터로부터 힘을 충분히 전달받지 못한다. 이로 인해, 접촉력이 상대적으로 작게 되어, 접촉저항을 줄이기 위한 접촉압력을 내기 위해 접촉 면적을 줄일 수밖에 없게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 효과적인 힘의 전달이 가능한 수평방향의 접촉 방식과 상대적으로 큰 힘을 낼 수 있는 PZT 엑추에이터를 사용하고자 한다.(중략)

With the development of micro-technology, the demand for micro actuator is increasing. But, it is difficult to achieve high resolution and long travel range simultaneously with the conventional actuators. So, the noncontact surface actuator was proposed. This actuator can realize high dynamic range and the planar motion without complex cross-axis linear slides. This paper describes a magnetically suspended linear actuator for developing a non-contact surface actuator. The operating principle and the structure of the proposed linear actuator are similar to switched reluctance motor, but the proposed linear actuator utilizes normal force and propulsion force simultaneously. With this characteristic, the system can be simpler than other non-contact surface actuator.

마찰구동은 다른 구동방식에 비하여 구조가 간단하고, 기계적인 정도를 얻기 쉬우며, 백래쉬 등에 기인하는 비선형 요소인 로스트모션이 없고 관성이 작아 구동력이 작은 이점이 있다. 그 반면에 접촉부에서 미끄럼이 발생하여 큰 구동력을 얻기 어렵고 마찰저항에 의하여 마멸이 생기는 결점이 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초정밀가공기용 위치결정기구로 마찰구동기구를 사용하기 위하여 위치 결정도에 관한 설계, 구동력의 설계 및 재료의 선택에 관하 여 분석하고 시작품을 제작하여 특성을 연구하였다.

The indirect-contact ECG measurement is a newly developed method for unconstrained and nonconscious measurement in daily life. This study introduced a new method of electrode circuit design developed for reducing the 60Hz power line noise observed at the indirect-contact ECG measurement. By the introduced common-mode-driven shielding, the voltage of the electrical shield surrounding the capacitive coupling electrode is maintained at the same as the common mode voltage. Though the method cannot reduce the level of common mode voltage itself, that reduces effectively the differential mode noise converted from the common mode voltage by the difference of cloth impedance between the two capacitive coupling electrode. The experiment results using the actual indirect-contact ECG showed that the 60Hz power line noise was reduced remarkably though the reduction ratio was smaller than the expected by the theory. Especially, the reduction ratio became large for the large difference of cloth. It is expected that the introduced method is useful for reducing the power line noise under condition of poor electrical grounding.

For the reduction of common-mode noise level in Indirect-contact ECG (IDC-ECG) measurement a driven-right-leg grounding method was a lied to the IDC-ECG. Because the IDC-ECG does not require any direct contact between the electrodes and the human skin. it is adequate for un-constraining long-term ECG measurement at home and its various applications are now under development. However, larger 60 Hz noise induced by power line a ears in IDC-BCG than in conventional ECG, that is a restriction of IDC-ECG a application. In this study, the driven-right-leg ground which has been used in conventional direct-contact ECG, was adapted to the IDC-ECG measurement by feedback of the inversion of amplified common-mode noise to the body through the conductive fertile laid on the chair seat By this study, indirect-contact driven-right-leg ground was developed and it was shown to work stably. It was shown that the level of 60Hz power line noise was reduced to about -40 dB when the driven-right-leg gain was 1000. This study shows that we can extend the upper limit of the frequency band of IDC-ECG to 100Hz from 30Hz which is conventional upper limit in IDC-ECG, and we can raise the ground impedance between the body and conductive textile. So it is expected that the application area of the IDC-ECG will be extended by the results of this study.

We suggested the novel actuator mechanism to apply to wearable assistive system for the improvement of quality of life of the elderly or the people with disability using it. Characteristics of metal-hydride (MH) actuator is investigated in the novel actuating concept. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases when hydrogen is desorbed by heating a SMH alloys, whereas by cooling that alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. However, there are too long times in heat transfer mechanism to apply the assistive and rehabilitative device. In this study, 3 different SMH module were designed and characteristics of heat transfer in each SMH module were investigated based on the heat simulation.

In micro automation technology, the concurrent realization of a high resolution and a large operating rage has been achieved by a dual actuator, usually called by piggy-back system, conventionally. But, because of its manufacturing cost, the complexity of control, and the limit of overall bandwidth, the contract-free and single servo actuators have been suggested with specific applications. In this paper, we suggest a novel non-contact surface actuator suing combination of the Lorentz force and the magnetized force, and discuss the actuating principles including an analytical approach. Differently from the existing planar system, an operating range of the suggested system can be expanded by an additional attachment of active elements. Therefore, it is estimated to be suitable for the next-generation moving system.

분산된 공기 기포에 의해 고형물을 제거하는 포말분리법은 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 미세 입자와 용존 고형물을 매우 효율적이면서도 경제적으로 운전을 할 수 있고 연속 운전이 가능하며 역세척이 필요 없다는 장점을 지니고 있다((Clarke and Wilson. 1983). 현재 사용되고 있는 포말분리장치는 공기의 공급방식과 유체과 공기의 접촉방향에 따라 항류 공기구동식(counter current air driven type, CCAD), 고속 폭기식(high speed aeration type, HSA), 벤튜리식(venturi type) 등이 있으나 현재까지 우리나라에서 연구되어 오고있는 포말분리 장치는 공기구동 방식이 전부이다.

반도체 제조공정에서 매엽식 습식 식각 공정은 기판을 회전하면서 상하 면에 약액을 분사하는 형태로 박막을 식각한다. 이 때 기판은 척을 이용하여 고정되는 데 기판과 척이 접촉하는 가장자리 부분에서 약액의 흐름이 정체되거나 일정하지 못해 잔류막질이 남게 되고, 후속 공정에서 기판 오염의 문제를 야기하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 기판을 파지하는 여러 개의 척을 2개조로 나누어 교대로 파지하도록 하는 기능을 제시하였다. 2개 조의 척들은 자성체를 사용하여 고속 회전 중에 비접촉 방식으로 구동하였고 실제 약액 처리론 수행하여 효과를 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 기존 고정형 파지 방식에 비해 교차형이 기판 베벨면이나 에지면에서의 잔류 막질 제거에 탁월한 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.
