In this study, a miniature fiber-optic radiation sensor has been developed using a water-equivalent organic scintillator for electron beam therapy dosimetry. The intensity of Cerenkov light is measured and characterized as a function of the incident angle of the electron beam from a LINAC. Also, a subtraction method using a background optical fiber without a scintillator and an optical discrimination method using optical filters are investigated to remove Cerenkov light, which could cause problems or limit the accuracy for detecting a fluorescent light signal in a fiber-optic radiation sensor.

Due to recent industrial growth and development, there has been a high demand for light and highly durable materials. Therefore, a variety of new materials has been developed. These new materials include carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP or CRP), which is a wear-, fatigue-, heat-, and corrosion-resistant material. Because of its advantageous properties, CFRP is widely used in diverse fields including sporting goods, electronic parts, and medical supplies, as well as aerospace, automobile, and ship materials. However, this new material has several problems, such as delamination around the inlet and outlet holes at drilling, fiber separation, and tearing on the drilled surface. Moreover, drill chips having a fine particulate shape are harmful to the work environment and engineers' health. In fact, they deeply penetrate into machine tools, causing the reduction of lifespan and performance degradation. In this study, CFRP woven and unidirectional prepregs were formed at $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$, respectively, in terms of orientation angle. Using a high-speed steel drill and a TiAIN-coated drill, the two materials were tested in three categories: cutting force with respect to RPM and feed speed; shape changes around the input and outlet holes; and the shape of drill chips.

We fabricated gallium doped ZnO (GZO, 5 wt% Ga) thin films on PES (polyethersulfon) substrate with RF magnetron sputtering and investigated optical and electrical properties for various substrate temperatures ($50{\sim}200^{\circ}C$). All GZO thin film has c-axis preferred orientation without reference to deposition conditions. As a result of AFM analysis, the GZO thin film deposited at $200^{\circ}C$ exhibited the lowest surface roughness of 0.196nm. The transmittance of GZO thin films were above 80% and Burstein-Moss effect was observed. In the analysis of Hall measurement, we confirmed that the GZO thin film deposited at $200^{\circ}C$ showed the lowest resistivity of $6.93{\times}10-4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and the highest carrier concentration of $7.04{\times}1020/cm^3$.

For investigating self-diagnosis applicability, a method based on monitoring the changes in the electrical resistance of carbon fiber reinforced concrete has been tested. Then after examining change in the value of electrical resistance at each flexural weight-stage of carbon fiber in CFGFRP (carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforcing plastic) with new type rib and carbon sheet for concrete reinforcing, the correlations of electrical resistance and load as a function of strain, deflection were analyzed. As the results, it is clarified that when carbon fiber rod, rib and sheet fracture, the electrical resistance of it increase largely, and specially in case of CFGFRP, afterwards glass fiber tows can be resist the load due to the presence of the hybrid (carbon and glass) reinforced fiber. Therefore, it can be recognized that reinforcing bar and new type rib of CFGFRP and sheet of CF could be applied for self-diagnosis of fracture in reinforced FRP concrete.

It is generally well known that PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is an electric component assembled by various metals mixed with plastics and ceramics. Accordingly, it is very important to extract metallic components from used PCBs from the point of view of recycling of used resources as well as an environmental protection. In this paper, patents and paper on the recycling technologies of PCB were analyzed. The range of search was limited in the open patents of USA (US), European Union (EP), Japan (JP), Korea (KR) and SCI journals from 1980 to 2011. Patents and journals were collected using key-words searching and filtered by filtering criteria. The trends of the patents and journals was analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies.

Since 1990s, efforts to recycle the waste plastics by chemical methods have increased. And in accordance with this trend, attempts have become active to use the waste PET as raw materials of chemical industries. In this article, the patents and papers for development of commercial technology for feedstock recycling and high end products from PET wastes were collected and analyzed. The open patents of USA (US), European Union (EP), Japan (JP), and Korea (KR) and SCI journals from 1974 to 2013 were investigated. The patents and papers were collected using key-words and filtered by the definition of the technology. The patents and papers were analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies and the technical trends were discussed in this paper.

In the Malaysian license plates, alphabets and numerals which are made by plastic, are adhered to a frame as embossing style and occasionally characters in horizontal, vertical directions are aligned with narrow space. So the extraction of character stroke information can be hard in the vehicle images of low illumination intensity. In this paper, Malaysian license plate recognition algorithm for low illumination intensity image is proposed. DoG filtering based character stroke generation method is introduced to derive exact connected components of strokes in the vehicle image of low illumination intensity. After localization of plate by connected component analysis, characters are segmented and recognized. Algorithm is experimented for the 6,046 vehicle images captured in Kuala Lumpur by IR camera without using any special light during day and night. The experimental results show that recognition accuracy of plates is 96.1%.

최근, 비정질 산화물 반도체 thin film transistor (TFT)는 수소화된 비정질 실리콘 TFT와 비교하여 높은 이동도와 큰 on/off 전류비, 낮은 구동 전압을 가짐으로써 빠른 속도가 요구되는 차세대 투명 디스플레이의 TFT로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 한편, 기존의 MOSFET 제작 시 우수한 박막을 얻기 위해서는 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 높은 열처리 온도가 필수적이며 이는 유리 기판과 플라스틱 기판에 적용하는 것이 적합하지 않고 높은 온도에서 수 시간 동안 열처리를 수행해야 하므로 공정 시간 및 비용이 증가하게 된다는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 RF sputter를 이용하여 증착된 비정질 InGaZnO pesudo MOSFET 소자를 제작하였으며, thermal 열처리와 microwave 열처리 방식에 따른 전기적 특성을 비교 및 분석하고 각 열처리 방식의 열처리 온도 및 조건을 최적화하였다. P-type bulk silicon 위에 산화막이 100 nm 형성된 기판에 RF 스퍼터링을 이용하여 InGaZnO 분말을 각각 1:1:2mol% 조성비로 혼합하여 소결한 타겟을 사용하여 70 nm 두께의 InGaZnO를 증착하였다. 연속해서 Photolithography 공정과 BOE(30:1) 습식 식각 과정을 이용해 활성화 영역을 형성하여 소자를 제작하였다. 제작 된 소자는 pseudo MOSFET 구조이며, 프로브 탐침을 증착 된 채널층 표면에 직접 접촉시켜 소스와 드레인 역할을 대체하여 동작시킬 수 있어 전기적 특성을 간단하고 간략화된 공정과정으로 분석할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 열처리 조건으로는 thermal 열처리의 경우, furnace를 이용하여 각각 $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 N2 가스 분위기에서 열처리를 실시하였고, microwave 열처리는 microwave를 이용하여 각각 400 W, 600 W, 800 W, 1000 W로 20분 동안 실시하였다. 그 결과, furnace를 이용하여 열처리한 소자와 비교하여 microwave 를 통해 열처리한 소자에서 subthreshold swing (SS), threshold voltage (Vth), mobility 등이 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, microwave 열처리 공정은 향후 저온 공정을 요구하는 MOSFET 제작 시의 훌륭한 대안으로 사용 될 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, we propose a method for detecting coastal surface wastes using an UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) remote sensing method and an object detection algorithm based on deep learning. An object detection algorithm based on deep neural networks was proposed to detect coastal debris in aerial images. A deep neural network model was trained with image datasets of three classes: PET, Styrofoam, and plastics. And the detection accuracy of each class was compared with Darknet-53. Through this, it was possible to monitor the wastes landing on the shore by type through unmanned aerial vehicles. In the future, if the method proposed in this study is applied, a complete enumeration of the whole beach will be possible. It is believed that it can contribute to increase the efficiency of the marine environment monitoring field.
