  • Interface trap densities at gate oxide/silicon substrate ($SiO_2/Si$) interfaces of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) were determined from the substrate bias dependence of the subthreshold slope measurement. This method enables the characterization of interface traps residing in the energy level between the midgap and that corresponding to the strong inversion of small size MOSFET. In consequence of the high accuracy of this method, the energy dependence of the interface trap density can be accurately determined. The application of this technique to a MOSFET showed good agreement with the result obtained through the high-frequency/quasi-static capacitance-voltage (C-V) technique for a MOS capacitor. Furthermore, the effective substrate dopant concentration obtained through this technique also showed good agreement with the result obtained through the body effect measurement.

  • This research examined the design characteristics of Madeleine Vionnet, a female fashion designer who left an enormous legacy and made a great contribution to the high added-value fashion industry. Her techniques can be dividing in to three types: the bias cutting, the design by geometrical methods, and the classical style of ancient Greek clothing. This research also intended to study the design cases in which Vionnet's drapery images are applied to modern fashion, mainly the haute couture works that have appeared at Dior collections since 2000. In terms of the characteristics of Madeleine Vionnet's design, First, she produced the best achievement in dress and ornament history by developing a new technique called bias cutting. Second, her work was groundbreaking because it changed the previously planar approach to the female body into a solid conception by cutting and connecting geometrical pieces in the form of quadrangle, triangle, and a quarter-circle. As a result, her works depicted feminine beauty to the fullest extent through the combination of the human body, excellent materials, and the most sophisticated technology and personal skill. Third, her approach was a classical style tinged with the Greek costume image. With this style, which was born by reinterpreting the key tone of the Greek epoch in a modern way, and transcending and even changing tradition, she created a form of beauty that only she could.

  • The object of this study was to identify the production technique and immediate constituent of lingerie by examining the materials and the sewing techniques. Various papers are referenced for theoretical study and the elements and techniques of lingerie are analyzed based on photographical materials. From the late 20C century to the present time was the research time period. This paper concludes as follows: 1 Decorative method: Lace, Ribbons, piping, elastic bands were some of the decorative materials attached to the garments by zigzag stitch. 2. Flat pattern making: Lingerie patterns were drafted in smaller size than the patterns of outer garments. Bias cut would be applied for the noll-stretchable fabrics. 3. Draping: Bias grain would be applied for the non-stretch fabric. When draping stretch fabrics, follow the grain line of the fabrics and pull the fabric so that it could fit onto the body. 4. Production technique: Straight stitch would be applied for non-stretch fabrics. Zigzag stitch would be applied for stretch fabrics.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate the convenience and image quality of patients with acute lumbar pain patients at a general hospital in Daejeon using ancillary devices for postural changes and correction. The results of the study are summarized as follows. First, the Turbo S pin Echo technique(TS E) using ancillary equipment has the highest image evaluation rating with an average score of 4.440, which is highly valuable on a diagnosis. Second, the average score for patient the questionnaire 'When using ancillary equipment, I feel that my body is calibrated to side without bias.' was shown as 4.440, which is very useful for the correction of the patient's body when using ancillary equipment. Finally, Breath Hold technique(BH) is very effective in shortening test time of acute lumbar pain patients, because it can reduce test time 86.4% faster than Turbo Spin Echo technique(TSE). The results of the study showed that the use of ancillary equipment to perform the test through the side lying postures helped to reduce the pain and control the patient's breathing, and the diagnostic value of the image was high.

  • A small electrical potential difference which appears on any solid body when subjected to illumination by a modulated light beam generated by laser is called photocharge voltage(PCV)[1,2]. This voltage is proportional to the induced change in the surface electrical charge and is capacitatively measured on various materials such as conductors, semiconductors, ceramics, dielectrics and biological objects. The amplitude of the detected signal depends on the type of material under investigation, and on the surface properties of the sample. In photocharge voltage spectroscopy measurements[3], the sample is illuminated by both a steady state monochromatic bias light and the pulsed laser. The monochromatic light is used to created a variation in the steady state population of trap levels in the surface and space charge region of semiconductor samples which does result in a change in the measured voltage. Using this technique the spatial variation of PCV can be utilized to evalulate the surface conditions of the sample and the variation of the PCV due to the monochromatic bias light are utilized to charactrize the surface states. A qualitative analysis of the proposed measuremen is present along with experimental results performed on amorphous silicon samples. The deposition temperature was varied in order to obtain samples with different structural, optical and electronic properties and measurements are related to the defect density in amorphous thin film.

  • Though there might exist not a few differences between cyclic works and atypical works, many researchers have applied the same assessment techniques that used for repetitive works, which may result introduce bias in their conclusions. This research aimed to verify whether there exist non-negligible work characteristics and/or dissimilarity among works with different work nature and whether one of the most prevalent assessment techniques for assessing ergonomic hazards of musculoskeletal disorders, REBA, can be applied to atypical works. For a general hospital, an automobile repair shop, and two auto-part assembly plants which manufactures quite different parts, a questionnaire survey and field investigation and ergonomic assessment were carried out and analyzed statistically with reference to the 3rd Quantification technique. The results showed that there exist remarkable difference between physical factors in cyclic works and atypical non-cyclic works. As for repetitive work, body posture was significant factors affecting on musculoskeletal disorders while atypical works seemed to have none which implied that the necessity of taking psychosocial factors into account for assessment of hazards. Complain rate in repetitive works was highest shoulder, back, and neck or wrist in sequence. However, there existed no consistent trend in complain rate in atypical works. And, though weight of manufacturing objects was a common factor that can partly explain musculoskeletal complain, time duration was significant in atypical work whereas repeatability and body posture were significant in repetitive works. As being the results, to summarize, it could be said that application of conventional ergonomic assessment techniques regardless of repetitiveness would be fruitless, and that the necessity of a unique methodology focused on atypical non-cyclic works should not be neglected.

  • In this paper, we present the design of a 4.5 V low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator implemented in the 130 nm CMOS process. The design uses a two-stage cascaded operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) as an error amplifier, with a body bias technique for reducing dropout voltages. PMOS is used as a pass transistor to ensure stable output voltages. The results show that the proposed LDO regulator has a dropout voltage of 32.06 mV when implemented in the130 nm CMOS process. The power dissipation is only 1.3593 mW and the proposed circuit operates under an input voltage of 5V with an active area of $703{\mu}m^2$, ensuring that the proposed circuit is suitable for low-power applications.
