A bag filter system was partially burnt down during a trial run of waste wood incineration boiler. This brought about unburned hydrocarbon which caused a rapid deactivation of low temperature SCR catalyst set up in two stage after the bag filter. The deactivated catalyst was investigated in order to trace the origin by several characterization methods such as XRD, EDX, BET, TGA, SEM. The deactivated catalyst was regenerated by different methods such as acid washing, water washing in ultrasonication, and calcination treatment under air condition. It is found the calcination treatment under air condition at $450^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours to be the best regeneration method. The catalytic activity was measured in the form of 2 cm ${\times}$ 2 cm ${\times}$ 10 cm (catalyst weight 10 g) honeycomb type. A deNOx efficiency of the regenerated catalyst showed 100% at $180^{\circ}C$ which is the same level of fresh one.

This study proposes a sustainable bearing remanufacturing process using the ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technique. The UNSM technique is a newly developed and sophisticated surface modification technique that can increase the mechanical properties and improve the friction and wear performance of materials. Taking advantage of the bearing manufacturing process is the most significant way of optimizing the life of a bearing. The proper maintenance and usage of repaired bearings can increase their life to be equal to or greater than that of new bearings. This paper discusses the restoration of certain mechanical properties of worn, damaged, and discarded bearings, and suggests a remanufacturing process for used bearings, which can impart them with a lifespan equivalent to that of new bearings. The most damaged part of the discarded bearings is the raceway, which is the site of accumulated fatigue. The existing polishing or barrel finishing processes can recover the accumulated fatigue only partially. Rolling contact fatigue tests performed on UNSM-treated new and used specimens polished after $4{\times}10^6$ cycles reveal that UNSM-treated new specimens exhibit the longest fatigue life compared to other specimens. This study verifies the proposed complete fatigue recovery process, which can increase the fatigue life of used bearings to a level greater than that of new bearings.

투명도전막(indium tin oxide; ITO)은 투명하면서도 전기 전도도가 높기 때문에, 액정표시소자(LCD; Liquid Crystal Display), 전자발광소자(ELD; Electroluminescent Display) 및 전자 크로믹 소자(Electrochromic Display)를 포함하는 평판형 표시 소자(FPD; Flat Panel Display)와 태양전지 등에 이용되고 있다. 낮은 비저항과 높은 투과율의 ITO 박막은 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 코팅해야 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 최근 플라스틱과 같은 연성 소자가 전자부품에 널리 이용되면서 ITO를 저온에서 증착해야할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ITO를 플라스틱에 적용하기 위한 저온 코팅 공정 및 시편의 전 후처리공정을 개발하여 박막의 특성을 알아보고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 기판은 고투과율의 고분자(polyethylene terephthalate; PET) 필름이며 $5\;{\times}\;10\;cm^2$의 크기로 절단하여 알코올로 초음파 세척을 실시하였고, 진공 용기에 장입한 후 펄스전원을 이용하여 3분간 in-situ 청정을 실시하였다. ITO 코팅은 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하였으며, 코팅시간, 전처리, 후처리, 기판온도, 산소유량 등 코팅 조건에 따른 박막의 특성을 조사하였다. ITO 박막의 코팅 조건에 따른 박막의 결정구조 분석은 x-선 회절(x-ray diffraction; XRD)을 이용하였고, 박막의 표면형상과 두께 보정 및 단면의 미세조직과 결정 성장 여부 등은 투과전자 현미경(transmission electron microscope; TEM)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 ITO 박막의 면저항과 분광특성은 four-point Probe (CMP-100MP, Advanced Instrument Technology), spectrophotometer (UV-1601, SHIMADZU)를 이용하여 측정하였다. ITO 박막의 광학특성 분석 결과 전광선 투과율은 두께에 따라 변화 하였지만, 색차와 Haze 값은 증착 조건에 따라 큰 차이는 보이지 않았다. 그리고 박막의 결정화에 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 인자는 기판온도이지만, 기판온도를 높이지 못할 경우 비평형 마그네트론(unbalanced-magnetron; UBM)에 의해서 플라즈마 밀도를 높이는 방법으로 유사한 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

최근, 차세대 디스플레이, 터치스크린, 전자파 차폐 및 흡수 등의 분야에 응용하기 위해서 현재 주로 사용되고 있는 ITO박막을 대체하기 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행 되고 있다. ITO 박막은 희소원소인 인듐에서 기인하는 높은 비용뿐만 아니라 매장량도 한계가 있어 대체 재료의 개발이 시급하게 요구되고 있다. 더구나, 다양한 차세대 응용에 있어서는 투명전도성 뿐만 아니라 휠 수 있는 유연성까지 요구되어 ITO박막을 대체할 새로운 투명전도성 유연 박막의 개발에 관한 연구들이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 탄소나노튜브(CNT)는 금속을 능가하는 이론적인 전기전도도를 갖고 있으며, 높은 탄성등의 우수한 기계적 성질을 갖고 있어, 전도성 확보 및 유연성 구현이라는 투명전도성 플렉서블 박막소재에 요구되는 사항들을 충족시킬 뿐만 아니라, 최근의 대량 합성법등의 개발로 저가에 공급할 수 있다는 장점들이 있어 ITO대체 재료로서 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나, CNT는 튜브 사이에 강한 반데르발스 인력을 가지고 있어 용매 중에 분산하는데 많은 어려움이 있으며, 액상 분산과정을 통한 CNT기반의 플렉서블 박막 제작에 있어서 큰 과제로 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 기능화 처리를 통하여 CNT에 친수성을 부여하였고, 초음파 처리를 통하여 에탄올 중에 CNT를 균일하게 분산한 후, 스프레이 분사법을 이용해 투명 유연기판인 PET고분자 필름위에 균일 박막을 제작하였다. CNT는 아세틸렌 가스를 이용한 열화학증기증착법으로 1mm 이상의 길이를 갖는 수직배향 CNT를 합성하였으며, 이를 아르곤 및 암모니아 플라즈마로 기능화 처리를 실시하였다. 플라즈마 처리를 통해 기능화 된 탄소나노튜브는 플라즈마 처리되지 않은 탄소나노튜브와 분산 속도에서 현저한 차이를 보였다. 제작한 CNT 기반의 투명전도성 유연박막들은 막두께에 따른 전도도 및 투광도의 관계를 조사하였고, 기판에 분사된 CNT 박막의 표면 특성은 AFM, Raman, 접촉각 실험 등을 통하여 분석하였다.

STS 316L prepared by additive manufacturing (AM) exhibits deterioration of mechanical properties and wear resistance due to the presence of defects such as black-of-fusion defects, internal porosity, residual stress, and anisotropy. In addition, high surface roughness (integrity) of AM products remains an issue. This study aimed to apply ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technology to STS 316L prepared by AM to increase the surface hardness, to reduce the surface roughness, and to improve the friction and wear behavior to the level achieved by bulk material manufactured using traditional processes. Herein, the as-received and polished specimens were treated by UNSM technology and their resulting properties were compared and discussed. The results showed that UNSM technology increased the surface hardness and reduced the surface roughness of the as-received and polished specimens. These results can be attributed to grain size refinement and pore elimination from the surface. Moreover, the friction of the as-received and polished specimens after UNSM technology was lower compared to those of the as-received and polished specimens, but no significant differences in wear resistance were found.

A fog screen consists of tiny water drops and the viewers see the image transmitted through the fog screen. In contrast to ordinary screens, the viewers can see the actors passing through the image on the fog screen on stage. In this paper, we describe methods to build a top-down fog screen where fog particles generated in top space fall by gravity forming a flat vertical screen. We use a fog generation technique in which fog particles come out of the water surface when ultrasound vibrators immersed in water tank vibrate. We describe how fog particles form a flat screen while coming out of the fog passage tunnel, by generating guiding winds beside the fog screen. This technique utilizes the principle that fog particles are generated on the surface of a water tank by an ultrasonic vibrator placed in a water tank. The technique of forming a guiding wind on both sides of the passage exit where the fog comes out and the design and manufacturing method of the fog screen generating device are described so that the generated fog group can maintain one plane.

The primary objective of this study is to treat a monocrystalline silicon (Si) wafer having a thickness of $279{\mu}m$ by employing the ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) technology for improving the efficiency and service life of nano-electromechanical systems (NEMSs) and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMSs) by enhancing of wear and corrosion resistances. The wear and corrosion resistances of the Si wafer were systematically investigated before and after UNSM treatment, wherein abrasive, oxidative and spalling wear mechanisms were applied to the as-received and subsequently UNSM-treated Si wafer. Compared to the asreceived state, the wear and corrosion resistances of the UNSM-treated Si wafer are found to be enhanced by about 23% and 14%, respectively. The enhancement in wear and corrosion resistances after UNSM treatment may be attributed to grain size refinement (confirmed by Raman spectroscopy) and modified surface integrity. Furthermore, it is observed that the Raman intensity reduced significantly after UNSM treatment, whereas neither the Raman shift nor new phases were found on the surface of the UNSM-treated Si wafer. In addition, the friction coefficient values of the as-received and UNSM-treated Si wafers are found to be about 0.54 and 0.39, respectively. Hence, UNSM technology can be effectively incorporated as an alternative mechanical surface treatment for NEMSs and MEMSs comprising Si wafers.

In the present work, diazinon which is known as nondegradable and environmental toxic material was efficiently treated by the cell surface-displayed organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) biocatalyst. The culture temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ culture temperature and the addition of 0.2 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) were effective conditions for the production of recombinant OPH in Escherichia coli. 25 and 50 ppm diazinon were treated with removal rate of 4.5 and $7.2mg/g{\cdot}min$, respectively and with all over 90% removal efficiencies using recombinant cell lysates through ultrasonication disruption process. Thus, these experimental results could be utilized in environmental friendly biological treatment system for toxic chemicals such as diazinon.

Black ice, which occurs mainly on the road, vehicle traffic bridges and tunnel entrances due to the sub-zero temperature due to the slip of the road due to heavy snow, is not recognized because the image of asphalt is transmitted in the driver's view, so the vehicle loses braking power because it causes serious loss of life and property. In this paper, we propose a method to identify the black ice by using infrared camera and to identify the road condition by using deep learning to compensate for the disadvantages of existing black ice detection methods (artificial satellite imaging, checking the pattern of slip by ultrasonic reception, measuring the temperature of the road surface, and checking the difference in friction force of the tire during vehicle driving) and to reduce the size of the sensor to detect black ice.
