In this paper, a design and an implementation of an Analog to Digital (A/D) converter are introduced for the conversion of monitored battery cell voltage in the cell voltage monitoring(CVM) system in battery management system(BMS), which is one of the key devices of ECO hybrid cars. The A/D converter in CVM system required a middle conversion speed and a high resolution, therefore, a successive approximate register(SAR) typed A/D converter with 10 bits resolution has been designed and implemented using Magna 0.6um 40V process. The measurement result which kept ${\pm}1$ LSB accuracy in the full scale range(FSR) of 5V, showed the usefulness of the SAR typed A/D converter in realizing a CVM system.

A UV camera is being used in various application regions such as industry, medical science, military, and environment monitoring. A ROIC(ReadOut IC) is developed and can read the responses from UV photodiode sensors which are made with III-V nitride semiconductors of GaN series haying high resolution and high efficiency. To design FPA(Focal Plane Array) UV $8{\times}8$ ROIC, the photodiode type sensor devices are modeled as the capacitor type ones. The ROIC reads out signals from the detector at)d outputs sequentially pixel signals after amplifying and noise filtering of them. The ROIC is fabricated using the $0.5{\mu}m$ 2Poly 3Metal N-well CMOS process. And then, it and photodiode array are hybrid bonded by gold stud bumping process using ACP(Anisotropic Conductive Paste). After the packaging, UV images appearing on PC verified the operations of the ROIC.

Cellulose Electro-Active Paper (EAPap) is attractive as a biomimetic actuator because of its merits: it is lightweight, operates in dry conditions, has a large displacement output, has a low actuation voltage, and has low power consumption. Cellulose is regenerated so as to align its microfibrils, which results in a piezoelectric paper. When chemically bonded and mixed with carbon nanotubes, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxides, the cellulose EAPap can be used as a hybrid nanocomposite that has versatile properties and that can meet the requirements of many application devices. This paper presents trends in recent research on the cellulose EAPap, mainly on material preparation and its use in devices, including biosensors, chemical sensors, flexible transistors, and actuators. This paper also explains wirelessly driving technology for the cellulose EAPap, which is attractive for use in biomimetic robotics and micro-aerial vehicles.

This study was conducted under the premise of providing the model for the construction of the library and the digital library in PUST, the joint construction from South and North Korea. First, we determined the problems in the construction of digital libraries as well as possible issues that may rise from the construction of the digital library in PUST. The results of the research showed that there were imminent problems from the operation of a digital library with the inadequate progress in the Held of copyright. In addition, the difference in the language system and the knowledge foundations of the two countries will produce problems in the homepage access, database construction, and information retrieval. In order to overcome these predictable problems, this research proposes the following: (1) parallel operation of both digital and high-drive libraries; (2) duplexing the homepage through the application of unicode concerning the digital library; (3) development and application of converted letter codes through the establishment of NCHAR data type; and (4) construction of an authority database.

유기물/무기물 하이브리드 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 비휘발성 유기 메모리 소자는 공정의 간편성과 휘어짐이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있어 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 대부분의 좋은 전기적 성능을 갖는 소자에 포함되는 나노 입자는 독성을 가지거나 가격이 비싸다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 인체진화적이며 가격이 저렴한 나노입자를 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 대한 전기적 성능의 안정성에 대한 연구는 미미한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인체친화적 $CuInS_2(CIS)$-ZnS 코어-쉘 나노 입자가 분산되어 있는 poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) 박막을 사용하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하여 전기적 성능과 안정성에 대한 연구를 하였다. 인체친화적 CIS-ZnS 나노입자를 포함한 PMMA 용액을 Al 하부전극을 가진 p-Si (100) 기판 위에 스핀코팅 방법으로 균일하게 도포 하였다. 남아 있는 용매를 완전히 제거하기 위해 열을 가해 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 나노 복합체를 형성하였다. CIS-ZnS 나노입자를 포함한 PMMA 박막 위에 금속 마스크를 사용하여 Al 상부전극을 열 증착 방법으로 형성하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 완성하였다. 정전용량-전압 (C-V) 측정을 하여 평탄 전압 이동을 관찰하였고, CIS-ZnS 나노입자의 역할을 알아보기 위해 나노입자가 없는 PMMA 박막을 갖는 소자를 제작하여 동일한 조건에서 C-V 측정을 하였다. 소자의 안정성을 알아보기 위해 평탄 전압-유지 시간 (Vth-t) 측정을 수행하였다. Vth-t 측정은 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 전하 포획 장소로 사용할 수 있는 것과 전기적 안정성을 갖고 있는 것을 확인하였다. C-V와 Vth-t 측정결과 및 에너지 대역도를 사용하여 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 박막을 포함한 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에서 전하수송 메커니즘을 설명하였다.

The effect of the mixing method on the characteristics of hybrid-structure W powder with nano and micro sizes is investigated. Fine $WO_3$ powders with sizes of ${\sim}0.6{\mu}m$, prepared by ball milling for 10 h, are mixed with pure W powder with sizes of $12{\mu}m$ by various mixing process. In the case of simple mixing with ball-milled $WO_3$ and micro sized W powders, $WO_3$ particles are locally present in the form of agglomerates in the surface of large W powders, but in the case of ball milling, a relatively uniform distribution of $WO_3$ particles is exhibited. The microstructural observation reveals that the ball milled $WO_3$ powder, heat-treated at $750^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in a hydrogen atmosphere, is fine W particles of ~200 nm or less. The powder mixture prepared by simple mixing and hydrogen reduction exhibits the formation of coarse W particles with agglomeration of the micro sized W powder on the surface. Conversely, in the powder mixture fabricated by ball milling and hydrogen reduction, a uniform distribution of fine W particles forming nano-micro sized hybrid structure is observed.

The implantable circuits of the system except sensor interface circuits including FM transmitter are fabricated on a single chip with the sire of $4{\times}4mm^{2}$. It is possible to assemble the implantable system in a hybrid package as small as $3{\times}3{\times}2.5cm$ by using this chip, It's main function is to enable continuous measurement simultaneously up to 7-channel physiological signals from the selected one among 8 subjects. Another features of this system are to enable continuous measurement of physiological signals, and to accomplish ON/OFF switching of an implanted battery by subject selection signal with command signal from the external circuit. If this system is coupled with another appropriate sensors in medical field, various physiological parameters such as pressure, pH and temperature are to be measured effectively in the near future.

The hot curvature-forming of large aluminum thick plate using a grid-typed hybrid die is a process for the production of a spherical LNG tank. Many variables such as the initial die surface quality, grid size, grid thickness, size of blank plate and cooling line design, control the success of the process. In addition, the plate used in this process is generally larger than $10{\times}10m$ in size. Thus, it is very difficult to predict the surface characteristics of the plate during forming and to measure the different parameters due to the high cost of the experiments. In order to optimize the process design for the grid-type die, the development of an analytical method to predict the surface characteristics of the final product in hot curvature-forming is needed. This paper described the development of the method and procedures for FE simulations of the hot curvature-forming process, including hot forming, air flow, cooling, and thermal deformation analyses. An experiment for a small scale model of the process was conducted to check the validity of the numerical method. The results showed that the curvature of the plate in the analysis agrees well with that of the experiment within 0.037 and 0.016% tolerance margins for its side and corner, respectively.

A widely tunable add/drop filter composed of double ring resonators is implemented with high-index-contrast polymer waveguide. To enhance the productivity, directional couplers are designed to have good fabrication tolerance. The refractive indices of the core and cladding in the 1550 nm wavelength are 1.51 and 1.378, respectively. Drop response in comparison with neighborhood peak gets enhanced by more than 2.9 dB at the wavelength where both rings resonate. This filter can be used to build widely tunable laser diode through hybrid-integration with reflective SOA.
