Samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The nominal composition of the samples was B $i_{1.84}$P $b_{0.34}$S $r_{1.91}$C $a_{2.03}$C $u_{3.06}$ $O_{10+{delta}$ prepared from powder of B $i_2$ $O_3$, PbO, SrC $O_3$, CaC $O_3$, and CuO. They were pulverized, mixed with AgO, A $u_2$ $O_3$and MgO of 50 wt%. Finally, they were sintered at 820 to 85$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The structural characteristics, the microstructure of surface and the critical temperature with respect to the each samples were analyzed by XRD, $T_{c}$, SEM and EDS respectively. It was found that the the critical temperature of the silver oxide additive samples (99.58 K) is higher than those of gold or magnesium oxides additive samples, but all those values are lower than that of pure Bi-2223 phase. The microstructure of surface showed the tendency which the AgO additive samples become more minuteness than A $u_2$ $O_3$ and MgO additive samples.s.samples.s.

Typical MLC NAND flash devices are considered less reliable than SLC NAND flash devices. Although raw bit error rate (RBER) of MLC flash had been considered approximately 1000times or more higher than that of SLC flash, recent research conducted on Google's data center shows that it is much lower than such expectation. Based on the research, we devised In Drive Data Duplication (IDDD) scheme that efficiently exploit MLC flash's sufficient capacity to improve its data reliability without structural complexity increment using SSD intrinsic firmware layer, and showed the data reliability expectation of MLC flash could be significantly higher than that of SLC flash from measured and calculated error rates. Even though RBER of SLC flash was lower than that of MLC flash in 44 out of 48 cases we studied, applying IDDD scheme, RBER of MLC flash was became lower than that of SLC in all 48 cases and uncorrectable bit error rate (UBER) of MLC flash was became lower than that of SLC flash in 45 out of 48 cases.

The most widely used piezoelectric ceramics are lead oxide based ferroelectrics (PZT). However, the toxicity of lead oxide and its high vapor pressure during processing have led to a demand for alternative lead-free piezoelectric materials. We synthesized Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics of $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3-0.04SrZrO_3+x$ mol% $ZrO_2$ [KNN-SZ+$xZrO_2$; x= 0~0.10] doped with 0.1 wt% $MnO_2$ by a conventional solid state method. We investigated the piezoelectric properties and microstructures of these disk samples sintered in reduced atmosphere in order to evaluate the possibility of the multilayered piezoelectric ceramics having the base metal such as Ni as a internal electrode. All of these KNN-SZ samples sintered in 3%$H_2-97%N_2$ atmosphere at $1,140^{\circ}C$ exhibit pure perovskite structure irrespective of the content of $ZrO_2$. Meanwhile, the sintering denisty and piezoelectric properties such as $K_p$, $Q_m$ and $d_{33}$ of KNN-SZ samples as a function of $ZrO_2$ content show the maxima ($k_p$=28.07%, $Q_m$= 101.34, $d_{33}$= 156 pC/N) at x= 0.04 and it is likely that there is some morphotropic phase boundary(MPB) in this KNN-SZ+$xZrO_2$ composition system. These results indicate that the ceramic composition is a promising candidate material for applications in lead free multilayer piezoelectric ceramics.

All solid-state thin film micro supercapacitor, which consists of $RuO_2$/LiPON/$RuO_2$ multi layer structure, was fabricated on Pt/Ti/Si substrate using a $RuO_2$ electrode. Bottom $RuO_2$ electrode was grown by dc reactive sputtering system with increasing $O_2/[Ar+O_2]$ ratio at room temperature, and a LiPON electrolyte film was subsequently deposited on the bottom $RuO_2$ electrode at pure nitrogen ambient by rf reactive sputtering system. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on a symmetric $RuO_2$/LiPON/$RuO_2$ structure clearly demonstrates the cyclibility dependence on the microstructure of the $RuO_2$ electrode. Using both glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GXRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, it was found that the microstructure of the $RuO_2$ electrode was dependent on the oxygen flow ratio. In addition, x- ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) examination shows that the Ru-O binding energy is affected by increasing oxygen flow ratio. Furthermore, TEM and AES depth profile analysis after cycling demonstrates that the interface layer formed by interfacial reaction between LiPON and $RuO_2$ act as a main factor in the degradation of the cyclibility of the thin film micro-supercapacitor.

Photosensitive properties of naphthoquinone-1,2-diazide-5-sulfonyl esters (PGND, BEND and PVAND) of polyglyceryl phthalate(PG), bisphenol A-epichlorohydrin condensate(BE) and polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) were investigated by the change of solubility before and after exposing to light. Various samples coated on glass or quartz plates were exposed to light under various conditions and steeped in aqueous alkali solution, and then the yield of residual film(W/W0) was determined. The yield of residual film, which was closely related to the sensitivity of the film, was affected by the degree of polymerization of the backbone resin, sensitizers and their concentration. In polymer homologs, the sensitivity was dependent on the degree of polymerization(the higher, the better). And also, it was most effective when 5 % of sensitizers to esters was used. The minimum exposed time was 0.6 min. for PGND-1, 1.0 min. for BEND-1, and 3.0 min. for PVAND-1. Most effective sensitizers for PGND, BEND and PVAND among those used here were benzanthrone, 5-nitroacenaphthene and picramide, respectively. The spectral sensitivities of PGND, BEND and PVAND were examined by comparing their spectrograms with UV-spectra in a solid state. Also, the sensitization and spectral sensitivity of the above polymers were studied. All the polymers containing the sensitizers showed optical sensitization. From the fact that in either case of sensitized or unsensitized sample, the ranges of absorption-maximum wave length were almost consistent with sensitivity maximum wave length, it was proved that the light absorbed by a sample served efficiently for photochemical reactions. Benzanthrone was found to be an excellent sensitizer for PGND.

In this paper, a compact 20 W block-up-converter for C-band satellite communication is designed and implemented. The designed block up-converter consists of an intermediate frequency circuit, a mixer and local oscillator, a driver amplifier, a solid-state power amplifier, waveguide circuits, and a power supply module. To reduce the size of the block-up-converter, all circuits are assembled within an housing, so its dimension is just $21{\times}14{\times}11cm^3$. Especially, the waveguide filter and microstirp-to-waveguide transition are easily implemented using an housing. Also, to meet spurious and harmonics specification, various compact microstrip filters including an elliptic filter are integrated. Measurement results show that the developed block up-converter has good electrical performances: the output power of 43.7 dBm, the minimum gain of 65 dB, the gain flatness of ${\pm}1.84$, the IMD3 of -35 dBc, and the harmonic level of -105 dBc.

New conducting polymers containing heterocyclic ring with carbazole, EDOT and benzobisthiazole were synthesized and characterized by organic spectroscopic methods. Potentiometric ion-selective membrane electrodes (ISMEs) have been extensively used for ion analysis in clinical, environmental, and industeial fields owing to its wide response range (4 to 7 orders of magnitude), no effect of sample turbidity, fast response time, and ease of miniaturization. Considerable attention has been given to alternative use of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV)-type silicone rubber(SR) owing to its strong adhesion and high thermal durability. Unfortunately, the high membrane resistance of SR-based (ISMs)(2 to 3 higher orders of magnitude compared to those of poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)-based ones) has significantly restricted its application. Herein we demonstrate a new method to reduce membrane resistance via addition of new conducting polymer into the SR-based ISMs.

According to the result about 'San Jiao(三焦)'recorded on "Yellow Empero's Canon Internal Medicine Ling Shu(黃帝內經 靈樞)", we achieved following results. 1. As we consider the concept of 'San Jiao' recorded on "Ling Shu", in early time, it was related to bladder(膀胱) and there was no divided concept into 'Shang Jiao(上焦)', 'Zhong Jiao(中焦)' and 'Xia Jiao(下焦)'. Later, there was appearance of body metabolism concept in anatomic way and started to emphasize that stomach(胃) is the very beginning of digestion. This point then adjusted into the concept which the core theory of digestion and water metabolism begins with 'Zhong Jiao' and processes to 'Shang Jiao' and 'Xia Jiao' then it established the 'San Jiao' theory adjusted to the functional change than property change. Later as there is set theoretical structure of 'three Yin and three Yang(三陰三陽)', it included the concept of 'San Jiao' onto meridian system theory to complete as a theory. Finally, it completed the theoretical structure that 'San Jiao' runs water metabolism of circulation, body fluid and urine for body to produce blood and Qi to protect and provide nutrition to the human body. 2. From the point of each part, 'San Jiao' means all body composition factor related to the relation to the digestion and water metabolism to produce Qi and blood. Also, the details of entire function of 'San Jiao' tells that 'Zhong Jiao' intakes food and divides the clarity and turbidity of digested substances. The origin of this digestion and water metabolism lies at Xia Jiao. The clean substance including the mood and taste climbs via Shang Jiao. The vapor like substance climbed to Shang Jiao becomes 'defensive Qi(衛氣)' and controls body temperature and sweat by supporting and spreading the Qi by Shang Jiao. The liquid substance climbed to Shang Jiao becomes blood. The blood has stronger character as substance than defensive Qi so Zhong Jiao becomes the base and the way for the blood. The turbid Qi separated at Zhong Jiao passes large intestine and the solid substance is excreted and the liquid is absorbed into bladder. The Xia Jiao that controls this process controls the liquid state of water matabolism so control the urine with bladder. Therefore, 'San Jiao' can be understood as a general concept that controls entire water metabolism as a way of food, Qi and blood.

Gasless combustion is a vigorous exothermic reaction ignited directly in solid mixture, similar to Thermit reaction. The gasless combustion synthesis has the advantages of rapid processing, energy saving, low processing cost, and high purity of products. The Ti$Si_x$(x = 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 2.0) systems are prepared by the gasless combustion synthesis without external sintering process. The crystallographic structures of $Ti_5Si_3$, $Ti_5Si_4$ are hexagonal and tetragonal system, respectively. Those of TiSi, $TiSi_2$ are orthorhombic systems. The results of X-ray analysis agree with the JCPDS data. The combustion modes of all combustion reactions are steady state combustions, and the propagation velocities of the combustion waves of $Ti_5Si_3$, $Ti_5Si_4$ and TiSi are greater than 0.6 cm/sec and that of $TiSi_2$ is 0.28 cm/sec.

The compacting and sintering behavior of titanium powders containing oxygen in the range of 1980~8450 ppm was examined. The powders were prepared by the hydride-dehydride (HDH) and by the deoxidation by solid state(DOSS) methods. Their compaction density ranged from 69.0% to 62.3% and decreased with the increase in the oxygen content. It was explained by the effect of oxygen on the hardness of powders. Unlike the compaction density, the oxygen content did not affect the apparent density greatly being 90.5$\pm$0.5% after sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Their average grain size was $60\mu\textrm{m}$ and the size and distribution of pores were about the same for all cases. The hardness of sintered samples showed a linear increase with oxygen and could be expressed as VHN(sintered)= 135.5+64.3$\times$$(wt{\%}O_2)$ The exami-nation of fracture surface revealed that the ductile-brittle transition occurs at oxygen contents of 2987~5582 ppm.
