This paper presents an analysis of the dynamical behavor in the chaotic neuron fabricated using 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ single poly CMOS technology. An approximated empirical equation models for the sigmoid output function and chaos generative block of the chaotic neuron are extracted from the measurement data. Then the dynamical responses of the chaotic neuron such as biurcation diagram, frequency responses, Lyapunov exponent, and average firing rate are calculated with numerical analysis. In addition, we construct the chaotic neural networks which are composed of two chaotic neurons with four synapses and obtain bifurcation diagram according to synaptic weight variation. And results of experiments in the single chaotic neuron and chaotic neural networks by two neurons with the $\pm$2.5V power supply and sampling clock frequency of 10KHz are shown and compared with the simulated results.

We have analyzed various tolerances of the multi-configurative microscopic system for inspecting the wire-bonding of a reed frame by using the Gaussian bracket method and the equivalent lens method. The tolerances for the curvature and the thickness, which are axial symmetric tolerances, are given by varying the back focal length within a fecal depth under diffraction-limited conditions. Moreover, by using the trial and error method, the axial non-symmetric tolerances for decenter and tilt are established by assigning the 5% variation of MTF(modulation transfer function) at the spatial frequency of 50 lp/mm and at the field angle of 0.7 field. As the tolerances with the most probable distribution are distributed within the range of the decay rate of less than 5% independent of the probability distribution of tolerances, we can achieve completely the desired design performances of the multi-configurative microscopic system by using the various ranges of these tolerances.

This paper presents a 6~18 GHz 8-bit true time delay (TTD) circuit. The unit delay circuit is based on m-derived filter with relatively constant group delay. The designed 8-bit TTD is implemented with two single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches and seven double- pole double-throw (DPDT) switches. The reflection characteristics are improved by using inductors. The designed 8-bit TTD was fabricated using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS. The measured delay control range was 250 ps with 1 ps of delay resolution. The measured RMS group delay error was less than 11 ps at 6~18 GHz. The measured input/output return losses are better than 10 dB. The chip consumes zero power at 1.8 V supply. The chip size is $2.36{\times}1.04mm^2$.

Changes in transmission and thermoluminescent characteristics were used in order to find out the optimum growth condition of CsI single crystal scintillators which were made relatively defect-free using Czochralski method. Impurity distribution in the crystals and the intensity and number of thermoluminescent glow peaks decreased as the process of crystallization was repeated. The direction of crystal growth turned out to be (110), the crystal structure of grown CsI was bee, and its lattice constant was found to be $4.568{\AA}$. The activation energy (trap depths) of CsI:3rd was 0.45 eV and its frequency factor was $5.18{\times}10^5\;sec^{-1}$.

In underwater communications, to compensate performance degradation induced from rapidly changing channel transfer characteristic, multi-band communication method which allocate the same data to different frequency bands is used. However, the multi-band configuration may have worse performance than the single-band one because performance degradation in a particular band affects the output from the entire bands. This problem can be solved through a receiving end that analyzes error rates of each band, sets threshold values and allocates lower weights to inferior bands. Therefore, this paper proposed a weighting algorithm based on estimated Bit Error Rate (BER) which analyzes reliability of received data based on the performance difference between demodulated and decoded data. Employing turbo codes with coding rate of 1/3, we evaluate the performance of the proposed weighted multi-band transmission model in real underwater environments based on optimal simulation parameters. Through the sea trial experiment, we confirmed error performance was improved by applying the proposed weighting algorithm.

This article introduces a novel ultra wideband(UWB) bandpass filter(BPF) with sharp roll-off characteristics in stripline structure. The UWB characteristic is basically obtained from capacitive coupled cross resonator. The resonator has ${\lambda}/2$ length. And at the center of the resonator, two stubs are loaded, one is a ${\lambda}/8$ short-circuited stub and the other is a ${\lambda}/8$ open-circuited stub. The two stubs provide two attenuation poles at lower and upper cutoff frequencies. For input and output lines, two identical capacitively coupled lines have been installed to suppress the unwanted signals in the lower and upper stopbands. The filter has been designed for the U.S. UWB band(3.1~10.6 GHz) with two transmission zeros at 2.4 and 11.1 GHz. The filter has been realized with Low Temperature Core-fired Ceramic(LTCC) green tape which has the dielectric constant of 7.8. Measurement results agree well with HFSS simulation results. Insertion loss less than 0.7 dB and return loss better than 14 dB in the pass band have been measured. The group delay in the center frequency is 0.27 ns and the group delay variation within pass band is less than 0.5 ns. The size of the filter is $6{\times}18{\times}0.6\;mm^3$.

The second harmonic, wavelength is 397nm, of the continuous wave diode laser, whose maximum power is 35mW, was generated in $LiIO_3$ crystals in a ring enhancement cavity. 5mm- and 10mm-long crystals cut $43.21^{\circ}$ for optic axis were used in this experiment. Both surfaces of those were anti-reflection coated for 794nm. In case the crystal was inserted into the cavity, the condition of separation between two concave mirrors for the optimum mode matching was found. The conversion efficiency of second harmonic generation was increased by the resonant enhancement of pumping power in the ring enhancement cavity, and the frequency of diode laser was locked to that of the counter-propagation mode generated from the surface of crystal. When the pumping power was 28 mW, the infrared buildup factor was about 45 without the crystal, and 14 with the crystal due to the transmission loss of crystal. The maximum second harmonic powers of $1.5{\mu}W$ and $6.6{\mu}W$ were obtained, and corresponding conversion efficiencies were $(6.584{\pm}0.56){\times}10^{-3}$%, $2.6{\pm}0.21){\times}10%{-2}$% in 5mm- and 10mm-long $LiIO_3$, respectively.

In this paper, the characteristics of low hardness high damping rubber bearings(HDRB) were studied through various prototype tests. The low hardness HDRB were tested to evaluate vertical stiffness, shear stiffness, equivalent damping ratio, various dependencies of shear properties, ultimate shear properties and other factors. The prototype test was performed according to the specifications of ISO 22762-1, and evaluated according to the specifications of ISO 22762-3. The results of the prototype test showed that shear strain and temperature were the factors that most greatly influenced shear stiffness, and that compressive stress was the factor that most greatly influenced the equivalent damping ratio. The frequency dependence test of shear properties showed that two general tendencies of frequency dependence could be observed. At frequencies over 0.1Hz, the changes in shear properties were small. However, at frequencies under 0.1Hz, the changes in shear properties rapidly decreased. The creep test and the ultimate shear test were also performed, and both of them satisfied the requirements of ISO 22762-3.

Yakju(rice wine) was sterilized with high-voltage square-wave pulses of $1\;{\mu}s$ duration at various electric field strengths and frequencies on a serial multiple electrode pulsed electric field(PEF) treatment system consisted of 7 electrodes connected in series. The initial microbial counts of Yakju were $1.88{\times}10^3{\sim}2.13{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for total aerobes, $1.55{\times}10^3{\sim}2.85{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for lactic acid bacteria and $1.72{\times}10^3{\sim}2.39{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL for yeasts. The sterilization of microorganisms in Yakju was a first order reaction and the sterilization effect increased as the field strength and the frequency increased. The $D_{Hz}-value$ and the $D_{PEF}-value$ decreased with the electric field strength. Yeast showed lower $D_{PEF}-value$ than bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria showed lower $D_{PEF}-value$ than general aerobic bacteria under the electric field strength below 30 kV/cm, but higher ones under that above 40 kV/cm. The $Z_{PEF}-value$ of general aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and yeast in Yakju were 39.4, 49.3 and 47.6 kV/cm, respectively. The PEF sterilization resulted in less changes in color and sensory properties than heat sterilization, and the PEF treated Yakju showed superior quality to the heat treated one. The commercial sterilization of Yakju was accomplished with 2-cycle treatment on the tested serial PEF treatment system.
