Recently, as various wearable devices and IoT technologies have emerged and been applied to real applications, various sensors have been developed to satisfy their purposes and applied. In even In medical applications, IoT technologies have been applied gradually, and particularly, magnets and magnetic sensors have already been playing an important role in the medical industry. In wrist rehabilitation, this kind of sensor technology has enabled us to easily and conveniently measure wrist movement and gestures because there are no tangled lines required between the magnet and sensor. However, one of the drawbacks is that nonlinear output is generated because of the characteristics of a magnetic field. Also, the movement of the wrist joint involves small bones, and so it is not easy to simply model the movement. In order to resolve these issues and accurately measure sensor data, a calibration procedure is inevitable in the measurement. Thus, this paper proposes a practical model and simple calibration methods for measuring the distance between a magnet and a magnetic sensor.

The new liquid crystalline (LC) epoxy was designed by substituting the phenylcyclohexyl (PCH) mesogen moiety with an alkyl chain at the 2,5 position of the diglycidyl terephthalate. The mesomorphic properties were evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). All LC epoxy derivatives exhibited an enantiotropic smectic phase upon heating and cooling process. The LC phase temperature range was widened by mixing the eutectic mixture of LC epoxies. Interestingly, the cured LC epoxy exhibited the highest thermal conductivity of $0.4W{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$. The novel LC epoxy with high thermal conductivity might be used as a composite material for electronic and display devices.

Thanks to the great development of technology in radiation, we are now able to reduce radiation exposure to the patients, and the radiographer and expenses in medical sector. We are also trying to produce ideal images which maintain useful information. These kinds of effort are increasing over the world. For that reason, we should get images which include necessary data of patients. Then it also can help to reduce radiation exposure to the patients. Therefore, we need to know the problems that cause a falling off in image's quality and check on generator in case of their electronic and mechanical errors. And moreover, we should anticipate the possibility of devices errors and prevent them with regular quality control. This investigation was conducted in medical institutions, institute of educations and hospitals. They are all in Seongnam-City. We used PMX-III, kVp meter to implement kVp test, mR / mAs output test, light fiel / beam alignment test, Reproducibility of exposure dose, half value layer test, reproducibility of exposure time test. in the case of hospitals, they perceive the importance of regular quality control and organize the regular quality control team so they can be satisfied with the error standard in most experiments. On the other hand, when it comes to medical institutions and institute of educations, they perceive the importance of regular quality control less than hospitals do. Radiographer need to understand the importance of regular quality control and practice it so they can get the fine ideal image with the lower dose to the patient.

Recently, as the demand for high-precision parts increases due to industrial development, a machine tool system for ultra-precision machining and polishing has been actively developed. As a result, there is an increasing demand for ultra-precision surface roughness along with dimensional processing. However, due to the increase in processing time due to the demand for ultra-precise surfaces and enormous facility investment, it is difficult to secure competitiveness. The polishing process using the abrasive film in super precision machining has been applied to machines, electronic devices, aerospace, and medical fields. Super finishing using the abrasive film which is applied in the industrial field recently can achieve high surface roughness in a short time. Super finishing using the abrasive film which is applied in the industrial field recently can achieve high surface roughness in a short time. Also, application of industrial field is increasing due to advantages such as low noise and low dust. Recently, researches on stainless steel having strong resistance to corrosion, heat resistance, heat resistance, toughness and weldability have been actively conducted with respect to the nuclear energy industry or marine development. Therefore, in this study, surface roughness and residual stress were measured after SUS304 polishing using dynamic analysis of film polishing apparatus and polishing film.

This paper has been described a process technology for the fabrication of Si-on-insulator(SOI) transducers and circuits. The technology utilizes Si-wafer direct bonding(SDB) and mechanical-chemical(M-C) local polishing to create a SOI structure with a high-qualify, uniformly thin layer of single-crystal Si. The electrical and piezoresistive properties of the resultant thin SOI films have been investigated by SOI MOSFET's and cantilever beams, and confirmed comparable to those of bulk Si. Two kinds of pressure transducers using a SOI structure have been proposed. The shifts in sensitivity and offset voltage of the implemented pressure transducers using interfacial $SiO_{2}$ films as the dielectrical isolation layer of piezoresistors were less than -0.2% and +0.15%, respectively, in the temperature range from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $+350^{\circ}C$. In the case of pressure transducers using interfacial $SiO_{2}$ films as an etch-stop layer during the fabrication of thin Si membranes, the pressure sensitivity variation can be controlled to within a standard deviation of ${\pm}2.3%$ from wafer to wafer. From these results, the developed SDB process and the resultant SOI films will offer significant advantages in the fabrication of integrated microtransducers and circuits.

The organic memory device was made by the plasma polymerization method which was not the dry process but the wet process. The memory device consist of the styrene and MMA monomer as the insulating layer, MMA monomer as the tunneling layer and Au thin film as the memory layer which was fabricated by thermal evaporation method. The I-V characteristics of fabricated memory device got the hysteresis voltage of 27 V at 40/-40 V double sweep measuring conditions. At this time, the optimized structure was 7 nm of Au thin film as floating gate, 400 nm of styrene thin film as insulating layer and 30 nm of MMA thin film as tunneling layer. Therefore we got the charge trapping characteristics by the hysteresis voltage. From the paper, styrene indicated a good charge trapping characteristics better than MMA. In the future, we expect to make devices by using styrene thin film rather than Au thin film.

Recent heterogeneous network management researches on information security, however, deal only with simple management using PKI and could not sufficiently address the different kinds of security problems that could arise in a heterogeneous network. Thus, various security requirements should first be satisfied and a security management protocol should first be developed to achieve a secure heterogeneous network. Hence, in this paper, various secure and effective heterogeneous network management that address security issues, which were merely a consideration in existing studies, are proposed. The proposed scheme for the protection of the user privacy is the central object and static middle objects of the process used to mutual authentication, also if communication between users is required 1-out-2 oblivious transfer to communicate by using secret communication, as well as the effectiveness and security conscious approach. Specially The proposed scheme is designed to enhance security and efficiency related to various services required in heterogeneous network, based on the reliable peripheral devices for TTP. Using Mobile device, which has been applied to electronic commerce transactions in existing schemes, this study also proposed an appropriate management scheme that is suitable for a dynamic environment and setting a temporary group to provide various services.

Silicon nanoparticle is a promising material for electronic devices, photovoltaics, and biological applications. Here, we synthesize silicon nanoparticles via $CO_2$ laser pyrolysis and study the hydrogen flow effects on the characteristics of silicon nanoparticles using high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry. In $CO_2$ laser pyrolysis, used to synthesize the silicon nanoparticles, the wavelength of the $CO_2$ laser matches the absorption cross section of silane. Silane absorbs the $CO_2$ laser energy at a wavelength of $10.6{\mu}m$. Therefore, the laser excites silane, dissociating it to Si radical. Finally, nucleation and growth of the Si radicals generates various silicon nanoparticle. In addition, researchers can introduce hydrogen gas into silane to control the characteristics of silicon nanoparticles. Changing the hydrogen flow rate affects the nanoparticle size and crystallinity of silicon nanoparticles. Specifically, a high hydrogen flow rate produces small silicon nanoparticles and induces low crystallinity. We attribute these characteristics to the low density of the Si precursor, high hydrogen passivation probability on the surface of the silicon nanoparticles, and low reaction temperature during the synthesis.
