  • We consider a bistable attraction-repulsion chemotaxis system in one dimension. The study in this paper asserts that conditions for chemotactic coefficients for attraction and repulsion to show existence of stationary solutions and Hopf bifurcation in the interfacial problem as the bifurcation parameters vary are obtained analytically.

  • The recent Bistable Nematic ($BiNem{(R)}$) LCD technology presents long term bistability, high level passive matrix multiplexing and high optical quality. The BiNem device, based on anchoring breaking, needs specific low anchoring strength materials - alignment layers and liquid crystal mixtures. We present here our approach to develop nematic mixtures with wide enough temperature range and low zenithal anchoring energy.

  • A noise-induced transition is presented for a bistable system subjected to a multiplicative random force, which is singular at the unstable state. The stationary probability distribution is obtained from the Fokker-Planck equation and the effects of the singularity is analyzed. On the basis of noise-induced phase transition with Gaussian white noise, the relaxation time and the transition rate of the system are evaluated up to the first order correction of D. In the parameter region v < l, the transition rates decrease as the exponent v goes to 1 and as the coefficient of the linear term of the kinetic equation increases.

  • 본 논문에서는 왼손(left-handed)과 오른손(right-handed) 방향으로 각각 $180^{\circ}$ 트위스트(${\pi}$-twist)된 액정상을 두 개의 안정상태로 가지는 쌍안정(bistable) 액정 디스플레이(liquid crystal display)를 제안한다. 제안된 소자는 액정과 자외선경화 폴리머 물질의 혼합물의 비등방성 상분리 방법으로 형성된 격벽에 의해 화소고립된(pixel-isolation) 구조를 가지며, 인가전압의 주파수에 따라 유전율 이방성의 부호가 바뀌는 이중주파수(dual-frequency) 특성의 네마틱(Nematic) 액정을 사용한다. 두 안정된 액정상 사이의 스위칭은 인가전압의 주파수를 연속적으로 변화시킴으로써 이루어지며, 주파수 변화에 따른 액정의 유체 효과에 의해 발생하므로 응답특성이 매우 빠르다. 두 액정상은 카이랄 도펀트(chiral dopant)가 아니라 격벽이 가지는 앵커링(anchoring)의 영향으로 안정화됐기 때문에 거의 동일한 탄성에너지(elastic free energy)를 가지게 되어 우수한 메모리 특성을 나타낸다. 또한, 위상지연필름을 이용한 투과형 광학보상을 통해 높은 정면 명암비(contrast ratio)를 가질 수 있다.

  • We report on the non-volatile memory characteristics of a bistable organic memory (BOM) device with Au nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a conducting poly N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) colloids hybrid layer deposited on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show the Au nanoparticles distributed isotropically around the surface of a PVK colloid. The average induced charge on Au nanoparticles, estimated using the C-V hysteresis curve, was large, as much as 5 holes/NP at a sweeping voltage of ${\pm}3$ V. The maximum ON/OFF ratio of the current bistability in the BOM devices was as large as $1{\times}105$. The cycling endurance tests of the ON/OFF switching exhibited a high endurance of above $1.5{\times}105$ cycles and a high ON/OFF ratio of ~105 could be achieved consistently even after quite a long retention time of more than $1{\times}106$ s.

  • The majority of instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in today's nuclear power plants (NPPs) are based on analog technology. Thus, most existing I&C systems now face obsolescence problems. Existing NPPs have difficulty in repairing and replacing devices and boards during maintenance because manufacturers no longer produce the analog devices and boards used in the implemented I&C systems. Therefore, existing NPPs are replacing the obsolete analog I&C systems with advanced digital systems. New NPPs are also adopting digital I&C systems because the economic efficiencies and usability of the systems are higher than the analog I&C systems. Digital I&C systems are based on two technologies: a microprocessor based system in which software programs manage the required functions and a programmable logic device (PLD) based system in which programmable logic devices, such as field programmable gate arrays, manage the required functions. PLD based systems provide higher levels of performance compared with microprocessor based systems because PLD systems can process the data in parallel while microprocessor based systems process the data sequentially. In this research, a bistable trip logic in a reactor protection system (RPS) was developed using very high speed integrated circuits hardware description language (VHDL), which is a hardware description language used in electronic design to describe the behavior of the digital system. Functional verifications were also performed in order to verify that the bistable trip logic was designed correctly and satisfied the required specifications. For the functional verification, a random testing technique was adopted to generate test inputs for the bistable trip logic.
