Laser cutting tests were conducted to investigate the laser cutting characteristics of solid woods such as 25mm-thick white oak(Quercus acutissima) and maple(Acer mono), and wood-based panels such as 15mm-thick medium density fiberboard and particleboard. Test variables were laser power, cutting speed, grain direction, and moisture content. Specific cutting energy was measured and the qualities of cut surface were estimated in constant laser power. Specific cutting energy of white oak was larger than that of maple, and specific cutting energy of medium density fiberboard was smaller than that of particleboard. For both white oak and maple, specific cutting energy of green wood was smaller than that of air-dried wood because weight loss of moisture evaporation in green wood was larger than that in air-dried wood. In laser-cut surface, wood cells were not deformed and damaged, but in circular saw-cut surface fibers were pushed out and cut, and wood cells were deformed severely. However, mechanical surface roughness of saw-cut surface was smoother than that of laser-cut surface because of the existence of undeformed cell cavity in laser-cut surface.

In a liquid-fueled ramjet engine, the insufficient mixing and evaporation result in the low combustion efficiency and combustion instability. Improving its characteristics and devising a means of fuel droplets with air may compensate these disadvantages of liquid fuel ramjet engine. The jet penetrations of various fuel injectors were measured to investigate the spray characteristics of a liquid-fueled ramjet engine under high pressure air-stream conditions. The penetrations in high pressure conditions are smaller than the values calculated from Inamura's or Lee's equations, and the jet penetrations in the high pressure conditions have a similar tendency. In the dual orifice injectors, the jet penetrations of rare orifice is rapidly increased due to the reduction of the drag, which is created by the jet column of front orifice. The jet penetration of rare orifice is increased because of the drag reduction created by the jet column of the front orifice. Because of the drag reduction formed by the column of jet, the jet penetration in the rear orifice of dual orifice injector is much larger than the jet penetrations of single orifice injector. As the distances of the orifice are increased, the jet penetrations of the rear orifice decrease.

An innovative wafer drying system was developed using Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and nitrogen carrier gas in order to replace the commercial conventional drying system which was a non-environmentally friendly system. This system was designed as following ; the IPA evaporation chamber and the process chamber were separated to increase drying efficiency, and the carrier gas with the IPA vapor was delivered into the process chamber. It was investigated that the IPA concentration was the most important factor to operate the system. The optimum concentration was found to be 2.4 ml IPA/N2 1. In addition, the optimum flow rate of the nitrogen gas were maintained more than 60 l/min.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the phagocytic uptake of surface modified PLGA microspheres containing ovalbumin (OVA) into dendritic cell. In order to find the most suitable formulation for targeted delivery to antigen presenting cells (APC), OVA was encapsulated by a double emulsion solvent evaporation method with three PLGA microspheres (PLGA 50:50, PLGA 75:25 and PLGA 85:15) and two surface modified microspheres by chitosan and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Physicochemical properties were evaluated in terms of size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, different scanning calorimeter (DSC), x-ray diffraction, morphology, and OVA release test from microspheres. Phagocytic activity was estimated using dendritic cells and analyzed by fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS). The result showed that zeta potential of PLGA particles was changed to positive by the chitosan modification. The release profile of chitosan modified PLGA microspheres exhibited sustained release after initial burst. The chitosan modified microspheres had higher phagocytic uptake than the other microspheres. Such physicochemical properties and phagocytic uptake studies lead us to conclude that chitosan modified microspheres is more suitable formulation for the targeted delivery of antigens to APC compared with the other microspheres.

Recently, Performance and fuel efficiency of gasoline engines have been improved by adopting direct injection (DI) system instead of port fuel injection (PFI) system. However, injecting gasoline fuel directly into the cylinder significantly reduces the time available for mixing and evaporation. Consequently, particulate matters(PM) emissions increase. Moreover, as the emission regulations are getting more stringent, not only the mass but also the total number of PM should be reduced to satisfy the Euro VI regulations. Increasing the fuel injection pressure is one of the methods to meet this challenge. In this study, the effects of increased fuel injection pressures on combustion and emission characteristics were experimentally examined at several part load conditions in a 1.6 liter commercial gasoline direct injection engine. The main combustion durations decreased about $2{\sim}3^{\circ}$ in crank angle base by increasing the fuel injection pressure due to enhanced air-fuel mixing characteristics. The exhaust emissions and number concentration distributions of PM with particle sizes were also compared. Due to enhanced combustion characteristics, THC emissions decreased, whereas NOx emissions increased. Also, the number concentrations of PM, larger than 10 nm, also significantly decreased.

Piezoelectric transformers have been widely used such as DC-DC convertor, invertor, Ballast, etc. Because, the y have some merits compared with electro-magnetic transformers such as step-up ratio, high efficiency, small size and lg hit weight, etc. Piezoelectric transformer require high electromechanical coupling factor kp in order to induce a large out put power in proportional to applied electric field. And also, high mechanical quality factor Qm is required to prevent mechanical loss and heat generation. In general, PZT system ceramics should be sintered at high temperatures between 1200 and $1300^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain complete densification. Accordingly, environmental pollution due to its PbO evaporation. Hence, to reduce its sintering temperature, various kinds of material processing methods such as hot pressing, high energy mill, liquid phase sintering, and using ultra fine powder have been performed. Among these methods, liquid phase sintering is basically an effective method for aiding densification at low temperature. In this study, In order to comparis on low temperature sintering and solid state sintering piezoelectric transformers, rosen type transformers were fabricated u sing two PZT ceramics compositions and their electrical properties were investigated.
