Surface permanent magnet-type vernier motors with three magnet array-type rotors (parallel magnetized type, repulsion type, and Halbach type) are compared based on the pull-out torque. It was clarified that increasing the rotor radius increases the pull-out torque at a fixed three-phase alternating voltage. The mechanism for the pull-out torque increase on each magnet array type was different, when the effects of the increase were analyzed based on an induced electromotive force and a synchronous reactance. As a result, the design of the Halbach-type rotor was found to be especially effective for achieving high pull-out torque, because this array type achieves a large induced electromotive force $E_0$ and a small synchronous reactance $x_s$.

The development of 2-D radiometer is a new technical challenge for space borne remote sensing area. The Y-type antenna array has been proposed as a most efficient configuration because a large alias free FOV and a small-synthesized beam-width can be achieved compared to L-, T-type under the fixed antenna spacing. New configuration of antenna array, which is called sub-Y type configuration, is proposed to obtain a higher angular resolution than the case of Y-type array in the paper. The sub-Y type array is consisted of basic arrays, which are the Y-type array of four antenna elements. To analyze characteristics of the proposed configuration, the synthesized beam pattern is simulated through simulation. The secondary effect of the sub-Y-type is that the reconstructed image is suffered from the alias effect is appeared around the real target. The ghost targets in the reconstructed image can be reduced by the alias suppression algorithm introduced in this paper. In conclusion, the performance evaluation by use of array factor simulation shows more than 37.5% improvement in average for angular resolution and almost similar performance for temperature resolution.

For grippers of industrial robots, parallel grippers and multi-function finger grippers are used. The former has the advantage of low cost but has the disadvantage of low precision, and the latter has the advantage of excellent precision but has the disadvantage of being expensive. In this paper, we developed a grip that can detects the various shapes of the object to be gripped on the gripper surface by using mesured pressure information frome Veloset Sheet sensor so that the gripper can be gripped without deforming the surface of the gripper. Also we did not only developed the array type gripper and 4 array type grippers (ATG), but also confirmed the usefulness of array type gripper developed in this study according to the 4 predefined evaluation criteria

One of important factors in designing array-type MEMS resonators is obtaining a desired frequency response function (FRF) within a specific range. In this paper Krylov subspace-based model order reduction using moment-matching with non-zero expansion points is represented to calculate the FRF of array-type resonators. By matching moments at a frequency around a specific range of the array-type resonators, required FRFs can be efficiently calculated with significantly reduced systems regardless of their operating frequencies. In addition, because of the characteristics of moment-matching method, a minimal order of reduced system with a specified accuracy can be determined through an error indicator using successive reduced models, which is very useful to automate the order reduction process and FRF calculation for structural optimization iterations.

In this paper, we present a new and practical method for achieving real-time wavefront measurement, dramatically increasing the resolution, dynamic range of Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor and improving the wavefront reconstruction quality. In proposal method, a liquid crystal display panel (LCD) for the generation of an array of Fresnel microlenses is use instead of the static microlens array of the conventional Shack-Hartmann type sensor. An off-axis holographic microlens array is designed instead of the normal microlens array to increase the effective array and then the dynamic range. The focus properties of the off-axis lens are studied.

The imaging characteristics of a 2-D interferometric synthetic aperture radiometer, such as an angular resolution, depend largely on the type of an antenna array. In this paper, different array configurations of antenna are studied and compared with each array types to get more high resolution image in spatial. T-, X- and Y- types of antenna array are considered and the performances of each type are analyzed considering spatial resolution. The simulation results of candidate antenna types are presented in this paper. In case of Y-type the coverage area of the visibility function is wide and the angular resolution is high more than the others. X-type array shows the good performance for side lobe level.

A light-guide plate of an LCD backlight coupled with a microfresnel lens array (MFLA) is designed and analyzed. Computer simulated results of optical characteristics of our MFLA-type light-guided plate compared with the conventional prism-type one are presented. We show that the MFLA-type light-guide plate can replace well the conventional prism-type plate.

A high speed motor has been generating a lot of attention due to its performance-more light, thin, short, compact than ordinary motors. But they have low efficiency with high frequency power source because of the iron losses which may produce too much heat as well as the copper losses occurred in the rotor windings. The Halbach array can generate the strong magnetic field systems without additional magnetic materials, therefore the iron losses can be removed. In this paper, the Halbach array is applied to the field system for the high speed motor, and three dimensional FEM is used to analyze the field of the Halbach array considering with the leakage flux. The measured values of flux density are also compared with the FEM analysis. And the magnetic characteristics of the Halbach array field system are compared with those of the conventional field systems such as slot-iron type, PM-iron type. Consequently, it is confirmed that the Halbach array field system is more suitable to the high speed motor because it has high flux density, sinusoidal flux distribution than others.

A solar array makes a Solar Array Regulator (SAR) for Low-Earth-Orbit satellite have different small signal characteristic. Therefore, an Average-Current-Mode (ACM) controller cannot control the BUCK-BOOST type SAR which operates in a current region of the solar array. In this paper, we present the Pseudo-Continuous Current Mode (PCCM) BUCK-BOOST Type SAR which can be controller by the ACM Controller. We explain the circuit operation of the PCCM BUCK-BOOST Type SAR, derive its small signal transfer function and design ACM Controller. Finally, we verify the ACM control of the PCCM BUCK-BOOST Type SAR by using a simulation.

Hollow-type microneedle array can be used for painless, continuous and stable drug delivery through a human skin. The needles must be sharp and have sufficient length in order to penetrate the epidermis. An array of hollow-type silicon microneedles was fabricated by using deep reactive ion etching and HNA wet etching with two oxide masks. Isotropic etching was used to create tapered tips of the needles, and anisotropic etching of Bosch process was used to make the extended length and holes of microneedles. The microneedles were formed by three steps of isotropic, anisotropic, and isotropic etching in order. The holes were made by one anisotropic etching step. The fabricated microneedles have $170{\mu}m$ width, $40{\mu}m$ hole diameter and $230{\mu}m$ length.
