Dosimetry of radiating electromagnetic wave from mobile devices to human body has been evaluated by measuring Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Usual SAR measurement system scans the volume by robot arm to evaluate RF power absorption to human body from wireless devices. It is possible to fast estimate the volume SAR by software deleting robot moving time with the 2D surface SAR data acquired by arrayed probes. This paper shows the principle of fast SAR measurement and the measured data comparison between the fast SAR system and the robot scanning system. Data of the fast SAR is well corresponding with data of robot scanning SAR within ${\pm}3$ dB, and its dynamic range covers from 10 mW/kg to 30 W/kg with 4.8 mm probe diameter.

Two dimensional photonic crystals (2D PCs) have been fabricated by a double exposure holographic method using a He-Cd laser with a wavelength of 442nm. The arrays of the 2D PCs exhibit variable lattice structures from square to triangle according to a change of rotating angle $({\gamma})$ for double exposure beams. In addition, the period and filling factor of PCs as well as the forms (dot or antidot) could be controlled by experimental conditions. $A l.18-{\mu}m-thick$ resist was spin-coated on Si substrate and the 1st holographic exposure was carried out at incident angle $({\theta})$ of $11^{\circ}$. Then the sample was rotated to ${\gamma}=45^{\circ}{\sim}90^{\circ}$ and the 2nd holographic process was performed at ${\theta}=11^{\circ}$. The variation of diffraction efficiency during the exposure process was observed using a He-Ne laser in real time. The images of 2D PCs prepared were analyzed by SEM and AFM. We believe that the double holographic method is a tool suitable to realize the 2D PCs with a periodic array of large area.

The subject of variable step size maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms has been addressed in the literature. However, most of the addressed algorithms tune the variable step size according to two variables: the photovoltaic (PV) array voltage ($V_{PV}$) and the PV array current ($I_{PV}$). Therefore, both the PV array current and voltage have to be measured. Recently, maximum power point trackers that arc based on a single variable ($I_{PV}$ or $V_{PV}$) have received a great deal of attention due to their simplicity and ease of implementation, when compared to other tracking techniques. In this paper, two methods have been proposed to design a variable step size MPPT algorithm using only a single current sensor for stand-alone battery storage PV systems. These methods utilize only the relationship between the PV array measured current and the converter duty cycle (D) to automatically adapt the step change in the duty cycle to reach the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV array. Detailed analyses and flowcharts of the proposed methods are included. Moreover, a comparison has been made between the proposed methods to investigate their performance in the transient and steady states. Finally, experimental results with field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are presented to verify the performance of the proposed methods.

Graphene has shown exceptional properties for high performance devices due to its high carrier mobility. Of particular interest is the potential use of graphene nanoribbons as field-effect transistors. Herein, we introduce a facile approach to the fabrication of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) arrays with ~200 nm width using nanoimprint lithography (NIL), which is a simple and robust method for patterning with high fidelity over a large area. To realize a 2D material-based device, we integrated the graphene nanoribbon arrays in field effect transistors (GNR-FETs) using conventional lithography and metallization on highly-doped $Si/SiO_2$ substrate. Consequently, we observed an enhancement of the performance of the GNR-transistors compared to that of the micro-ribbon graphene transistors. Besides this, using a transfer printing process on a flexible polymeric substrate, we demonstrated graphene-silicon junction structures that use CVD grown graphene as flexible electrodes for Si based transistors.

In this study, we evaluated the flow characteristics of various types of waveguide-below-cutoff (WBC) arrays and their shielding effectiveness (SE) of electromagnetic pulses (EMP) based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Three types of waveguides were selected for analysis: (1) grid type, (2) honeycomb type, and (3) multi-layer types (2-ply, 4-ply, 6-ply, and 8-ply). To analyze the air flow characteristics, the flow velocities in the longitudinal center of the WBC and the differential pressures between the WBC array inlet and outlet were evaluated. Consequently, we derive the following conclusions: (1) despite an increase in the inlet velocity, the pressure drop of the 6-ply multi-layer type did not significantly increase as compared to that of other types of waveguides (waveguide thickness of 0.1 mm, SE of 100 dB); (2) the grid and honeycomb type had the fastest flow rate of 17.5 m/s, which is approximately 2.5 m/s faster than that at the inlet (waveguide thickness of 1 mm, module size of 30 mm); and (3) the average pressure drop of the grid type waveguide is the lowest in the overall model, whereas that of the 8-ply is the highest (waveguide thickness of 1 mm, module size of 30 mm, and SE of 80, 100 dB).

For massicely parallel optical interconnections, we propose three types of planar optical configurations for crossover photonic switching netweek, backboard optical signal distribution, and high speed packet address detection. The planar overalsy allow 2-D pixel arrays located on a wafer scale intergated circuit to be interconnected in a compact and vibrationally robust configuration. By the laser writing technique surface relief of microopical Fresnel lenses and multiplex gratigs used in the planar optics are successfully fabricated.

A novel imaging system for High-resolution Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography (HUTT) and soft tissue differentiation methodology for the HUTT system are presented. The critical innovation of the HUTT system includes the use of sub-millimeter transducer elements for both transmitter and receiver arrays and multi-band analysis of the first-arrival pulse. The first-arrival pulse is detected and extracted from the received signal (i.e., snippet) at each azimuthal and angular location of a mechanical tomographic scanner in transmission mode. Each extracted snippet is processed to yield a multi-spectral vector of attenuation values at multiple frequency bands. These vectors form a 3-D sinogram representing a multi-spectral augmentation of the conventional 2-D sinogram. A filtered backprojection algorithm is used to reconstruct a stack of multi-spectral images for each 2-D tomographic slice that allow tissue characterization. A novel methodology for soft tissue differentiation using spectral target detection is presented. The representative 2-D and 3-D HUTT images formed at various frequency bands demonstrate the high-resolution capability of the system. It is shown that spherical objects with diameter down to 0.3㎜ can be detected. In addition, the results of soft tissue differentiation and characterization demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative soft tissue analysis for possible detection of lesions or cancerous tissue.

1D core-shell nanostructures have attracted great attention due to their enhanced physical and chemical properties. Specifically, oriented single-crystalline $TiO_2$ nanorods or nanowires on a transparent conductive substrate would be more desirable as the building core backbone. However, a facile approach to produce such structure-based hybrids is highly demanded. In this study, a three-step hydrothermal method was developed to grow NiMn-layered double hydroxide-decorated $TiO_2$/carbon core-shell nanorod arrays on transparent conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates. XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS and Raman were used to analyze the obtained samples. The in-situ fabricated hybrid nanostructured materials are expected to be applicable for photoelectrode working in water splitting.
