Parylene-C which was mainly used for industries such as electronics, machinery and semiconductors has recently been in the spotlight in the medical field due to its properties such as corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. In this study we intend to derive a plan to improve the bonding strength of Parylene-C coating with the SUS304 base material for medical use which can be applied to various medical fields such as needles, micro needles and in vitro diagnostic device sensors. Through plasma pretreatment the bonding strength between Parylene-C and metal materials was improved. It was confirmed that the coated surface was hydrophobic by measuring the contact angle and the improvement of the surface roughness of the sample manufactured through CNC machining was confirmed by measuring the surface roughness with SEM. Through the above results, it is thought that it will be effective in increasing usability and reducing pain in patients by minimizing friction when inserting medical devices and in contact with skin. In addition it can be applied to various application fields such as human implantable stents and catheters, and is expected to improve the performance and lifespan of medical parts.

In this research, we studied the development of a SUS304 microneedle array based on microfabrication technology and the applicability of Parylene-C thin film, a medical polymer material. First of all, four materials commonly used in the field of medical engineering (SUS304, Ti, PMMA, and PEEK) were selected and a 5 ㎛ Parylene-C thin film was deposited. The applicability of Parylene-C coating to each material was confirmed through SEM analysis, contact angle measurement, surface roughness(Ra) measurement, and adhesion test according to ASTM standards for each specimen. Parylene-C thin film was deposited based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and a 5 ㎛ Parylene-C deposition process was established through trial and error. Through characteristic experiments to confirm the applicability of Parylene-C, SUS304 material, which is the easiest to apply Parylene-C coating without pretreatment was selected to develop a microneedle array based on CNC micromachining technology. The CNC micromachining process was divided into a total of 5 steps, and a microneedle array consisting of 19 needles with an inner diameter of 200 ㎛, an outer diameter of 400 ㎛, and a height of 1.4 mm was designed and manufactured. Finally, a 5 ㎛ Parylene-C coated microneedle array was developed, which presented future research directions in the field of microneedle-based drug delivery systems.

We have studied the effects of plasma treatments on CdS buffer layers in CIGS thin film solar cells. The CdS layers were deposited on CIGS films by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The RF plasma treatments of the CdS thin films were performed with Ar, $O_2 and $N_2 gases, respectively. After plasma treatments, the solar cells with Al:ZnO/i-ZnO/CdS/CIGS structures were fabricated. The surface properties of the CdS/CIGS thin films after plasma treatments were investigated with SEM, EDX and AFM measurements. The electrical properties of manufactured solar cell were discussed with the results of current-voltage measurements. The plasma treatments have a strong influence on the open circuit voltage (VOC) and the fill factor of the solar cells. Finally, a correlation between the surface properties of CdS layer and the efficiencies of the CIGS thin film solar cells is discussed.

최근 유비쿼터스 기술이 급속도로 발전함에 따라 많은 application들이 다양한 환경에서 통신서비스를 요구하고 있다. 이를 지원하기 위하여 많은 무선 센서 네트워킹 기술들이 제안되었지만 제한된 대역쪽과 높은 에러율로 인하여 이동성을 지원하기에는 부족하였다. 특히, 경로를 획득하기 위한 Route Request (RREQ)의 잦은 브로드캐스트 과정은 오히려 혼잡 및 에너지 소모를 야기시키며 네트워크 성능을 저하시키는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 언제, 어디서나 다양한 토폴로지 환경에서 자가 구성이 가능하며, 이동성을 지원하는 Tree기반의 Self-Routing 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 센서 네트워크내 멀티홉 라우팅 프로토콜과는 달리, 라우터 혹은 싱크노드의 비컨 프레임내 Association 정보만을 이용하여 새로운 라우팅 테이블을 형성함으로써 컨트롤 패킷의 오버 헤드를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 성능 평가를 위하여 실제 모바일 로봇을 이용한 실험과 시뮬레이션을 동시에 하였으며, 기존의 기법보다 향상된 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

최근의 정보통신 기술의 발달은 의료의 중심을 기존의 진단 및 치료에서 예방으로 이동하게 하였다. 이에 따라 환자 뿐 아니라 건강에 관심이 많은 일반인들이 병원 밖에서도 스스로 건강 증진을 위해 질병 예방을 수행할 수 있도록 지원하는 셀프케어 시스템들이 개발되어지고 있다. 그러나 현재 개발되어지고 있는 셀프케어 시스템들은 대부분 회원 등록의 과정이 필수적이며, 또한 회원 등록 과정에서 자가진단을 위해 성별과 같은 기본적인 정보를 수동적으로 입력해야 하는 번거로움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자의 음성과 영상을 이용한 성별 인식을 통해 비 등록 사용자에 대한 기본정보를 자동으로 인식하고 온톨로지를 이용한 자가진단 서비스에 적용함으로써 회원 등록을 원치 않는 비 등록 사용자에 대한 편의성을 고려하였다. 또한 온톨로지를 이용한 자가진단 서비스의 진단 결과로 질환에 대한 정의 및 증상, 치료 방법을 설명하고 증상의 경중에 따라 방문 치료할 진료과에 대한 정보를 제공함으로써 사용자가 스스로 건강을 진단하고 진단결과에 따라 간단한 치료를 할 수 있으며, 증상의 악화를 예방할 수 있도록 도와준다.

Photoreduction of $CO_2$ into hydrocarbon fuels on the surface of photocatalyst is one of the breakthroughs in the field of photocatalysis. At present various approaches have been investigated with the aim of increasing the $CO_2$ conversion efficiency. The reactor for photoconversion of $CO_2$ plays a vital role in experimental setup. In this work an attempt was made to testify a newly designed the photoreactor for conversion of $CO_2$ into useful products. The photoreactor was specifically designed for simple operation bearing features of temperature and pressure control. The reactor has been tested successively with the standard titania, Degussa P25 yielding methane with moderate production rate of 30.8 $ppm{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ under UV lamp with 365 nm wavelength. The methane yield obtained is comparable to the values reported in literature. Thus we anticipate that this experimental setup equipped with newly designed photoreactor can yield competitive amounts of fuels from $CO_2$ photoredcution via 365 nm UV light illumination on various photocatalysts.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received considerable attention as the most promising candidates for renewable energy systems in recent years. Among these, organic dyes which have many advantages such as large absorption coefficients, customized molecular design for desired photophysical and photochemical properties, inexpensiveness and environment-friendliness, are suitable as photosensitizers for DSSCs. We have studied on the design and synthesis of two organic dyes (BECZ 1 and BECZ 2) with a 9-ethyl-9H-carbazole core for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Two organic dyes comprised of two 9-ethyl-9H-carbazole moiety as electron-donor, two types of cyanoacrylic acid moiety acting as acceptor. In addition, n-ethyl unit introduced for increasing the solubility and the donating power. The obtained organic dyes were comprehensively characterized by NMR, GC-MS, FAB-MS and UV/Vis spectroscopies. DSSCs sensitized by the dyes BECZ1 and BECZ2 produced ${\eta}$ value 3.31% and a ${\eta}$ value 3.21%.

Various robot platforms have been designed and developed to perform given tasks in a hazardous environment for surveillance, reconnaissance, search and rescue, etc. We considered a terrain-adaptive and transformable hybrid robot platform that is equipped with rapid navigation capability on flat floors and good performance in overcoming stairs or obstacles. The navigation mode transition is determined and implemented by adaptive driving mode control of the mobile robot. In order to maximize the usability of wheel-track hybrid robot platform, we propose a terrain-adaptive and user-friendly remote controller and verify the efficiency and performance through its navigation performance experiments in real and test-bed environments.

Abnormal contrast enhancement on brain computed tomography (CT) scan after diagnostic or interventional angiography is not rare, and has known to be induced by temporary blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption from contrast media. Furthermore, it has been regarded as clinically subtle, but reported to have no symptom or mild transient symptoms. However, we recently experienced two cases of serious BBB disruption during the acute period after coiling of an unruptured intracranial aneurysm. One patient presented with an unruptured paraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm on the right and the other with an unruptured right supraclinoid ICA aneurysm. Both patients showed similar findings on immediate postembolization CT scan and clinical courses after coiling. Typical radiological, clinical characteristics of BBB disruption were described. In addition, the role of immediate postembolization CT scan are also discussed.
