  • This paper presents the design and fabrication of a high power piezoelectric ultrasonic surgery unit for multi-purpose dental implantation. A conventional piezoelectric ultrasonic surgery units consists of a transducer and a tip. However, the drawback of this simple structure is that the output performance of the transducer considerably changes with the change of the tips. An ultrasonic surgery unit that has an additional booster between the transducer and the tip can solve this problem to some extent; for this, an optimal structural design for the transducer is required. We used the Bolted Langevin Transducer (BLT) as the basic transducer; it consists of piezoelectric ceramics and a metal body. It's structure was optimized using mathematical methods to determine the length and radius of the tail and head masses. Additionally, the booster was also subjected to the same methods. Using these mathematical methods, optimal results in terms of the resonance frequency (24.96 kHz), displacement ($14.27{\mu}m$), and pressure (2.8 MPa), could be obtained. The validity of this proposed surgery unit was confirmed experimentally, exhibiting a cutting force of around 7% higher than that of a conventional surgery unit.

  • In this work, the properties of an organic-inorganic hybrid insulating material using an inorganic filler and polyurethane foam with different foaming conditions were investigated. At weight ratios of polyol and isocyanate of 1 to 1.2 good foaming properties were noted. In addition, an addition of 0.4 g of water, 0.1 g of surfactant, and 0.1 g of catalyst with respect to the composites of polyol at 5 g and isocyanate at 6 g showed the lowest apparent density and thermal conductivity. The pore size was smaller in the organic-inorganic hybrid foaming body with an increase in the $CaCO_3$ addition amount. Moreover, the apparent density and thermal conductivity were increased when the added amount of $CaCO_3$ increased. Increasing the amount of $CaCO_3$ powder is expected to improve the flame retardant capabilities; however, doing this tends to increase the apparent density and thermal conductivity.

  • P-type transparent conducting $CuGaO_2$ thin films have been prepared by DC/RF sputtering using Quartz(0001) and sapphire(0001) substrates. The target was fabricated by heating a stoichiometric mixture of CuO and $Ga_2O_3$ at 1373K for 12h under $N_2$ atmosphere. The film were deposited under mixture gas of Ar and $O_2(Ar:O_2=4:1)$ during 10~30min. and the as-deposited films were annealed at 1123K and $N_2$ atmosphere. Room temperature conductivity and the activation energy of the sintered body in the temperature range of 223K ~ 423K were 0 004S/cm, 1.9eV, respectively. XRD revealed that all of the as-deposited films were amorphous. Heating of the films deposited on Quartz substrates above 1123K resulted in crystallization with a second phase of $CuSiO_3$, which was assumed owing to reaction with Quartz substrate. The single phase of $CuGaO_2$ was obtained at the film deposited on the sapphire substrates. The transmittance after annealing of DC- and RF-sputtered films were 55~75% at 550nm. From the transmittance and reflectance measurement. the direct band gap of the DC/RF-sputtered films were 3.63eV and 3.57eV. and there was little difference between DC and RF sputtered films.

  • ZnO varistor is a semiconductor device which can serve to protect the circuit from surge voltage because its non-linear I-V characteristics by controlling the microstructure of grain and grain boundaries. In order to obtain desired electrical properties, it is important to control microstructure evolution during the sintering process. In this research, we defined a dataset composed of process conditions of sintering and relative permittivity of sintered body, and collected experimental dataset with DOE. Meta-models can predict permittivity were developed by learning the collected experimental dataset on various machine learning algorithms. By utilizing the meta-model, we can derive optimized sintering conditions that could show the maximum permittivity from the numerical-based HMA (Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm) optimization algorithm. It is possible to search the optimal process conditions with minimum number of experiments if meta-model-based optimization is applied to ceramic processing.
