Massive broadcasting contents such as UHD(Ultra High Definition) TV which requires multi-channel capacity for transmission has been introduced in recent years. A transmission scheme with channel bonding has been considered for transmission of massive broadcasting contents. In HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) networks, DOCSIS 3.0(Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification 3.0) has already applied channel bonding schemes for up/downstream of data service. A method unlike DOCSIS 3.0 is required to introduce a channel bonding scheme in the broadcasting service having unidirectional transmission with a downstream. Since a massive broadcasting content requires several channels for transmission, VBR(Variable Bit Rate) transmission has been emerging for the bandwidth efficiency. In addition, research on channel allocation and resource scheduling is required to guarantee QoS(Quality of Service) for the broadcasting service based on VBR. In this paper, we propose a transmission method for mass broadcasting service in HFC network and show the UHD transmission simulator developed to evaluate the performance. In order to evaluate the performance, we define various scenarios. Using the simulator, we assess the possibility of channel bonding and VBR transmission for UHD broadcasting system to provide mass broadcasting service efficiently. The developed simulator is expected to contribute to the efficient transmission system development of mass broadcasting service.

In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for detecting a bonded channel in a cognitive radio network where channel bonding is allowed for a higher data rate. The envelope detection algorithm is proposed to distinguish the center frequency of the received signal in order to determine whether the signal is transmitted by a primary user occupying a single channel or a secondary user occupying more than two channels when the channel is in use.

A simplified simulation model is designed to investigate the vacuum-driven bonding of glass panels in the cell process for LCD manufacturing. The bonding process is modelled by the transient flow of a weakly-compressible fluid in a very thin channel between two horizontal glass panels. An order of magnitude scaling analysis is conducted based on the characteristic feature of the channel of which height is much smaller than the horizontal length scales. It is revealed that the flow in the channel is represented by a Poiseuille flow of a compressible fluid. A finite volume model has been constructed to acquire the numerical solution to the derived simplified equations. For a simple test problem of pressure-driven microchannel flow, an assessment is made of the accuracy and validity of the proposed model. The basic aspects of vacuum-driven bonding are examined numerically, and the applicability of the present simulation model is illustrated.

parallel transmitting system with channel bonding method have been proposed to transmit mass content such as UHD(Ultra High Definition) in HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) networks. However, this system may lead to channel resource problem because the system needs many channels to transmit mass content. In this paper, we analyze three effective bandwidth approximation algorithms to use the bonding channel efficiently. These algorithms are the effective bandwidth of Gaussian approximation method algorithm proposed by Guerin, the effective bandwidth based on statistics of video frames proposed by Lee and the effective bandwidth based on Gaussian traffic proposed by Nagarajan. We also evaluate compatibility of algorithms to the mass broadcasting service. OPNET simulator is used to evaluate the performance of the algorithms. For accuracy of simulation, we make mass source from real HD broadcasting stream.

The objectives of this paper are to study the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop of the zigzag channel PCHE using diffusion bonding technology by numerical analysis. PCHE of five types are designed, which are zigzag channel angle $180^{\circ}$, $160^{\circ}$, $140^{\circ}$, $120^{\circ}$ and $100^{\circ}$. The zigzag PCHE was numerically investigated for Reynolds number in a range of $150{\sim}800$. The temperatures of the hot side were performed at $80^{\circ}C$ while that of the cold side was conducted at $20^{\circ}C$. The results show that the performance of heat transfer rate for zigzag channel $100^{\circ}$ increases about 11.5% compared to that of zigzag channel $180^{\circ}$. On the other hand, the performance of pressure drop for zigzag channel $100^{\circ}$ is remarkably higher than that of zigzag channel $180^{\circ}$, about 1.4 times.

In this study, bottom-up type powder processing and top-down type SPD (severe plastic deformation) approaches were combined in order to achieve full density of 1 vol.% carbon nanotube (CNT)-metal matrix composites with superior mechanical properties by improved particle bonding and least grain growth, which were considered as a bottle neck of the bottom-up method using the conventional powder metallurgy of compaction and sintering. ECAP (equal channel angular pressing), the most promising method in SPD, was used for the CNT-Cu powder consolidation. The powder ECAP processing with 1, 2, 4 and 8 route C passes was conducted at room temperature. It was found by mechanical testing of the consolidated 1 vol.% CNT-Cu that high mechanical strength could be achieved effectively as a result of the Cu matrix strengthening and improved particle bonding during ECAP. The ECAP processing of powders is a viable method to achieve fully density CNT-Cu nanocomposites.

The objectives of this paper are to study the characteristics of heat transfer and pressure drop of the micro channel heat exchangers using diffusion bonding technology. Four types of heat exchangers are designed and manufactured, which are straight type, long dot type, splited wavy type and straight double side type. Heat transfer and pressure drop performance of each heat exchangers are measured in various operating conditions, and compared each other. The results show that the $(j/f)^{1/3}$ performance of splited wavy type and long dot type increases about 10.3% and 6.1% at the Reynolds number 470 compared to that of straight type, respectively. On the other hand, $(j/f)^{1/3}$ performance of straight double side type decreases 19.7%.

In this paper, we present surface treatments for achieving bonds between PMMA and PDMS substrates. Silane primer is used for the formation of hydroxyl group on PMMA surfaces. The formed hydroxyl groups enhance the bonding strength of PDMS-PMMA substrates without channel clogging and structure deformation. The bonding strength on the different surface treatments (include oxygen plasma, 3-APTES, and corona discharge) is evaluated to find optimal bonding condition. The maximum bonding strength at the optimal surface treatment is over 300 kPa. The surface treatment using silane primer can be used to the bonding process of Micro-TAS and Lab-on-a-Chip.
