When facing the global severe competition, the enterprises all try their best to upgrade the quality, reduce the costs to reach the goal of customer satisfaction. Motorola was the earliest firm creating the term Six Sigma (6 ${\sigma}$); GE was the enterprise successfully fulfilling Six Sigma. The success of these two firms revealed the prominent effects and became the world-class model enterprises. The main purpose of promoting Six Sigma activity was to reduce the possible defects in the business process to the least through designing and monitoring business process in order to reach the goals such as the best quality and efficiency, the lowest costs, the shortest circular process time, maximum profits and customer satisfaction. This research used the Six Sigma technique to improve the business process of ceramics manufacturing plant and find out the major factors of slower core task time by the analytical process of Process Mapping, Pareto Chart, Simu18 simulation software and figures and proposed the improvement measures. Through the confirmation of the case companies, it successfully reduced the core process time and the organizational costs and increased the capacity.

Due to the proliferation of software parallelization on multi-core CPUs, the number of concurrently executing processes is rapidly increasing. Unlike processes running in a server environment, those executing in a multi-core desktop or a multi-core mobile platform have various correlations. Therefore, it is crucial to consider correlations among concurrently running processes. In this paper, we exploit the property that for a given created location in the binary image of the parent process, the average running time of child processes residing in the run-queue differs. We claim that this property can be exploited to improve the overall system performance by running processes that have a relatively short running time before those with a longer running time. Experimental results verified that the running time was actually improved by 11%.

In this paper, we propose a new variable latency L1 data cache architecture for multi-core processors. Our proposed architecture extends the traditional variable latency cache to be geared toward the multi-core processors. We added a specialized data structure for recording the latency of the L1 data cache. Depending on the added latency to the L1 data cache, the value stored to the data structure is determined. It also tracks the remaining cycles of the L1 data cache which notifies data arrival to the reservation station in the core. As in the variable latency cache of the single-core architecture, our proposed architecture flexibly extends the cache access cycles considering process variation. The proposed cache architecture can reduce yield losses incurred by L1 cache access time failures to nearly 0%. Moreover, we quantitatively evaluate performance, power, energy consumption, power-delay product, and energy-delay product when increasing the number of cache access cycles.

Technical demands for aspheric glass lens formed in market increases its application from simple camera lens module to fiber optics connection module in optical engineering. WC is often used as a metal core of the aspheric glass lens, but the long life time is issued because it fabricated in high temperature and high pressure environment. High hard thin film coating of lens core increases the core life time critically. Diamond Like Carbon(DLC) thin film coating shows very high hardness and low surface roughness, i.e. low friction between a glass lens and a metal core, and thus draw interests from an optical manufacturing industry. In addition, DLC thin film coating can removed by etching process and deposit the film again, which makes the core renewable. In this study, DLC films were deposited on the SiC ceramic core. The process variable in FVA(Filtered Vacuum Arc) method was the substrate bias-voltage. Deposited thin film was evaluated by raman spectroscopy, AFM and nano indenter and measured its crystal structure, surface roughness, and hardness. After applying optimum thin film condition, the life time and crystal structure transition of DLC thin film was monitored.

Ni-Ag core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized by polyol process and microemulsion technique successfully. In the polyol process, a chemical reduction method for preparing highly dispersed pure nickel and Ag shell formation have been reported. The approach involved the control of reaction temperature and reaction time in presence of organic solvent (ethylene glycol) as a reducing agent for Ag cation with poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) (PVP. Mw = 40000) as a capping agent. In microemulsion method, the emulsion was prepared by water/cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CTAB)/cyclohexane. The size of microemulsion droplet was determined by the molar ratio of water to surfactant (${\omega}_o$). The core-shell formation along with the change in structural phase and stability against oxidation at high temperature heat treatments of nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction and TEM analysis. Under optimum conditions the polyol process gives the Ni-Ag core-shell structures with 13 nm Ni core covered with 3 nm Ag shell, while the microemulsion method gives Ni core diameter of 8 nm with Ag shell of thickness 6 nm. The synthesized Ni-Ag core-shell nanoparticles were stable against oxidation up to $300^{\circ}C$.

샌드위치 사출성형 공정은 기존의 사출성형 공정이 가지지 못하는 여러 장점들로 인해 최근 산업적으로 주목 받고 있는 고분자 가공 공정이다. 이 공정의 해석적인 접근은 거의 불가능하므로, 본 연구에서는 수치모사를 통해서 샌드위치 사출성형의 충전 공정을 연구하였다. 수치모사는 기본적으로 유한요소법을 사용하였고 Flow Analysis Network(FAN)/관할체적(Control Volume)법 등을 함께 이용하였다. 그리고 skin polymer의 선단을 확인할 수 있는 기존의 충전율 변수와 함께 skin polymer와 core polymer의 경계를 표시하는 새로운 충전율 변수를 도입하였고 이것을 이용하여 core polymer의 선단을 추적하였다. 새로운 충전율 변수는 두께 방향으로 온도장을 풀기 위해 나눈 각 층에서 정의되었다. 수치모사에 사용된 skin polymer와 core polymer로는 물성이 다른 두 고분자 물질을 주입시켜서 나타나는 충전 형태를 비교했다. 즉, 점도 상수, power-law 지수 등과 같은 유변 물성이 다른 두 고분자 물질을 충전시키기 위해 공정상 필요한 입구에서의 압력 등을 계산했으며 나중에 들어가게 되는 core polymer의 충전 완료 후 금형 내에서의 두께 방향과 흐름 방향으로의 분포 등을 구하였다. 또한 실제 공정 상에서 가공조건에 해당되는 switchover time과 벽 온도 등의 조건을 바꿔가면서 수치모사를 진행하였다. 사례 연구를 통하여 얻어진 물성과 가공 조건에 따른 core polymer의 충전 형태와 입구에서의 압력 등은 샌드위치 사출성형의 산업적 이용에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

발전소 구조재료의 일반부식에서 기인된 부식생성물은 연료 표면에 침적되어 방사화되고, 다시 노외로 방출되어 계통 선량율을 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 방사화된 크러드의 생성과정에 대한 이해를 높이고자 연료 크러드의 비방사능 값과 노내 체류시간을 계산하였다. 노내 체류시간 계산시 모핵종이 조사기간 동안 지속적으로 일정한 양만큼 침적되는 것으로 가정하였다. 본 연구에 활용된 연료 크러드 시료는 한울1호기 17차 O/H시 fuel scraping을 통해 채취되었으며, 본 연구를 위해 원소성분 분석과 핵종 분석이 수행되었다.

In this study, the aspherical lens for optical communications produced not with an one-step pneumatic type of external pressurization system (existed GMP process) but a constant weight of self-loaded mold put up to upper core. So the lens is molding with self-loaded weight molding and it calls Weight Molding process. In self-loaded molding process, we measured changes of center thickness molding lenses with each variable molding temperatures and time to find the effect of center of lens thickness to search key factors. As experimental results, the center thickness reach to targeted lenses step time value was changed drastically and it depends by molding temperature. If the molding temperature gets higher, the targeted lens that is reaching to the center thickness step time value was decreased. To find the effect of life improvement on mold core by imposing the self-loaded molding process we molded with GMP(Glass molding press) method and self-loaded molding method for 9,000 times and measured the lenses shape accuracy and surface roughness to evaluate the core life. As a result the self-loaded molding method core has 2,000 times longer that GMP (Glass molding press) method. If we adopt self-loaded molding method of the optical aspherical lens molding in the future, we expect that it would reduce the expense of changing the molds by molding core life improvements.

Multifunctional nanomaterials based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and metal oxide nanocrystals are among the most promising materials for theragnosis because of their ease of modification and high biocompatibility. However, the preparation of multifunctional nanoparticles requires time-consuming multistep processes. Herein, we report a simple one-pot synthesis of multifunctional Mn₃O₄/mesoporous silica core/shell nanoparticles (Mn₃O₄@mSiO₂) involving the temporal separation of core formation and shell growth. This simple procedure greatly reduces the time and effort required to prepare multifunctional nanoparticles. Despite the simplicity of the process, the properties of nanoparticles are not markedly different from those of core/shell nanoparticles synthesized by a previously reported multistep process. The Mn₃O₄@mSiO₂ nanoparticles are biocompatible and have potential for use in optical imaging and magnetic resonance imaging.
