Roll-to-roll based manufacturing plays an important role in producing devices at high speed with lower production cost in printed electronics and publishing industry. Web lateral control is one of the most important factors in improving the quality of product and contributes a considerable point in making devices at micrometer-level accuracy. In recent years, most algorithms proposed for web lateral control base on the Shelton‘s model for designing the feedback control system using the PI controller. Experimental results showed that the existing models do not fully describe the characteristics of the lateral dynamics for some typical operating conditions and so result in poor control algorithms. In this paper, a new lateral control algorithm is proposed for web lateral control system based on back-stepping approach. The outcome of this study proves the reliability throughout simulation results in Matlab/Simulink and comparison with the algorithms based on the existing results.

Graphene field-effect transistors (GFET) is one of candidates for future high speed electronic devices since graphene has unique electronic properties such as high Fermi velocity (vf=10^6 m/s) and carrier mobility ($15,000cm^2/V{\cdot}s$) [1]. Although the contact property between graphene and metals is a crucial element to design high performance electronic devices, it has not been clearly identified. Therefore, we need to understand characteristics of graphene/metal contact in the GFET. Recently, it is theoretically known that graphene on metal can be doped by presence of interface dipole layer induced by charge transfer [2]. It notes that doping type of graphene under metal is determined by difference of work function between graphene and metal. In this study, we present the GFET fabricated by contact metals having high work function (Pt, Ni) for p-doping and low work function (Ta, Cr) for n-doping. The results show that asymmetric conductance depends on work function of metal because the interfacial dipole is locally formed between metal electrodes and graphene. It induces p-n-p or n-p-n junction in the channel of the GFET when gate bias is applied. In addition, we confirm that charge transfer regions are differently affected by gate electric field along gate length.

Devices compliant to the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Audio Video (A/V) specifications can easily establish multimedia home networks through zero or auto configuration. Despite the existing UPnP certification process many issues concerning interoperability still arise. Capabilities may not be fully implemented or there may be codec issues. Therefore, a means to check and verity interoperability prior to product purchasing or usage is necessary. In this paper, an implementation of a portable control point is proposed to store and manage UPnP device capability information. The portable control point can be used to find UPnP A/V compliant devices that are most compatible.

Tn this paper, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) embedded $BaTiO_3$ MIM capacitors were designed, fabricated, and characterized for low cost organic SOP applications by using 3-D EM simulator and low temperature processes. Size of electrodes and thickness of high dielectric films are optimized for improving the performance characteristics of the proposed embedded MIM capacitors at high frequency regime. The selected thicknesses of the $BaTiO_3$ film are $12{\mu}m$, $16{\mu}m$, and $20{\mu}m$. The fabricated MIM capacitor with dielectric constant of 30 and thickness of $12{\mu}m$ has capacitance density of $21.5p\;F/mm^2$ at 100MHz, maximum quality factor of 37.4 at 300 MHz, a quality factor of 30.9 at 1GHz, self resonant frequency of 5.4 GHz, respectively. The measured capacitances and quality factors are well matched with 3-D EM simulated ones. These embedded capacitors are promising for SOP based advanced electronic systems with various functionality, low cost, small size and volume.

Electrons in graphene make ballistic transport with very high mobility (${\sim}2{\times}105 $cm2V-1s-1), which holds promises for applications in fast electronic devices. However, such expectations have been hampered by the semi-metallicity or zero bandgap of graphene, which makes it impossible to completely turn off graphene transistor devices. Here, we report the observations of local bandgap modulations in Moir$\acute{e}$ patterned graphene on metal substrates using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. The Moir$\acute{e}$ patterned graphene was made by combinations of self-assembly processes, and they showed additional electronic states that could be interpreted as sub-band states. Our experimental observations could be explained with orbital transitions of carbon atoms from sp2 to sp3, as supported by our density functional theory calculation results. Our findings will add new poweful components for device applications.

The power consumption and heat generation in a chip increase as the components are miniaturized and the computing speed becomes faster. Therefore, suitable heat dissipation has become one of the primary limiting factors to ensure the guaranteed performance and reliable operation of the electronic devices. A pin-fin array which may be considered as a porous medium could be used as an alterative cooling system of the electronic equipment. The aim of the present study is to investigate the forced-convective heat transfer characteristics of pin-fin heat exchangers. Convective heat transfer through the pin~fin array is analyzed experimentally based on porous medium approach. The influence of the structure of the pin-fin array including the pin-fin spacing, the pin diameter and plate length on heat transfer characteristic is investigated and compared with the Previous analytical results and existing correlation equations. Nowadays, electronic and mechanical devices become smaller and smaller. In this sense, the main purpose of this study is to decide the optimum pin-fin arrangement to get similar heat transfer performance when the length of the existing cooling system is reduced as a half.
