Control of crown and flatness in plate rolling is important not only for enhancement of the structural precision of products, but also for improving the yield and rolling operation. In the heavy plate mill, there have been strong demands for upgrading plate crown and flatness. In order to satisfy these demands, it is essential to develop the high precision numerical models. This paper gives a general description of the crown and flatness preset control model, work roll bender system, simulation result for shape control.

In this paper, we present methods to improve output flatness of Ultra-wideband(f1~80f1) Frequency Generator (UFG) with variable output function. That include optimal structure and output ripple calibration algorithm to realize good flatness. The UFG was manufactured by our methods, then experiments were performed. The flatness of band 1~3 and band 4 are within ${\pm}2dB$, ${\pm}4dB$ respectively. These results are very excellent in view of ultra-wideband including millimeter wave band. From this results, we can confirm the validity of our methods.

This paper proposes a technique to analyze the flatness characteristics of the attenuator at 10Hz to $50\text\tiny{MHz}$ on the basis of $1\text\tiny{kHz}$ using a Thermal Voltage Converter and AC measurement standard. In the proposed technique, the input voltage of the attenuator for each measuring frequency is supplied at the same rate as $1\text\tiny{kHz}$ using TVC, and the flatness characteristics of the attenuator are analyzed by the voltage variation indicated in the AC measurement standard. The results of the analysis of the attenuator flatness characteristics show that the maximum uncertainty of $866{\mu}V/V$ can be measured from $10\text\tiny{dB}$ to $70\text\tiny{dB}$ and the uncertainty is reduced by about 37% compared to $2.31\text\tiny{mV}$/V using the network measurement method. The improved attenuator flatness characteristic values can be applied to the frequency flatness calibration from 2.2V to 2.2mV at the low voltage of the AC measurement standard.

Precast concrete elements are widely used in the construction of buildings and civil infrastructures as they provide higher construction quality and requires less construction time. However, any abnormalities in precast concrete surfaces such as non-flatness or distortion, can influence the erection of the elements as well as the functional performance of the connections between elements. Thus, it is important to undertake surface flatness and distortion inspection (SFDI) on precast concrete elements before their delivery to the construction sites. The traditional methods of SFDI which are conducted manually or by contact-type devices are, however, time-consuming, labor-intensive and error-prone. To tackle these problems, this study proposes techniques for SFDI of precast concrete elements using laser scanning technology. The proposed techniques estimate the $F_F$ number to evaluate the surface flatness, and estimate three different measurements, warping, bowing, and differential elevation between adjacent elements, to evaluate the surface distortion. The proposed techniques were validated by experiments on four small scale test specimens manufactured by a 3D printer. The measured surface flatness and distortion from the laser scanned data were compared to the actual ones, which were obtained from the designed surface geometries of the specimens. The validation experiments show that the proposed techniques can evaluate the surface flatness and distortion effectively and accurately. Furthermore, scanning experiments on two actual precast concrete bridge deck panels were conducted and the proposed techniques were successfully applied to the scanned data of the panels.

Flatness inspection of PC elements is normally conducted manually by inspectors at manufacturing sites. However, the manual inspection is error-prone and subjective, so it is necessary to develop a robust and efficient flatness measurement method. Recently, a few studies of laser scanner-based flatness inspection have been conducted. However, little attention on field applicability in terms of accuracy, time and cost has been paid. To tackle the limitation, this study aims to compare three sensing method including floor profiler, terrestrial laser scanner and total station for flatness inspection of PC elements. A series of experiments on two full-scale PC slabs were conducted and the results show that the laser scanning method is the most suitable for the PC elements flatness inspection in the aspects of accuracy, time and cost.

Hot Plate is the major unit that it used to remove damp of wafer surface, to strength adhesion of photoresist(PR) and to bake coated PR in FAB process of semiconductor. It is necessary to guarantee the performance of Hot Plate(HP). Therefore, in this study designed and developed the reliability system of HP to measure and estimated thermal uniformity and flatness in temperature setting amplitude $0~250^{\circ}C$. We developed the techniques that measures and analyzes thermal uniformity using infrared thermal vision, and compensates measuring error of flatness using laser displacement sensor. For measuring flatness, we specially makes the measurement stage of 3 axes which adopts the precision encoder. The allowable error of measuring technique is less than thermal uniformity, $\pm 0.1^{\circ}C$ and flatness, $\pm 1mm$. It is expected that the developed system can measure from $\Phi$210(wafer 8") to $\Phi$356(wafer 12") and also can be used in performance test of the Cool Plate and industrial heater, etc.

Thermal-fluid analysis was performed to understand the thermal behavior in the horizontal CVD reactor thereby to design a susceptor which has a uniform deposition rate during silicon EPI growing. Four different types of susceptor designs, standard (no hole susceptor), hole $\sharp$1 (240 mm), hole $\sharp$2 (150 mm) and hole $\sharp$3 (60 mm), were simulated by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tool. Temperature, gas flow, deposition rate and growth rate were calculated and analyzed. The degree of flatness of EPI wafer loaded on the susceptor was computed in terms of silicon growth rate. The simulation results show that the temperature and thermal distribution in the wafer are greatly dependent on inner diameter of hole susceptor and demonstrate that the introduction of hole in the susceptor can degrade wafer flatness. Maximum temperature difference appeared around holes. As the diameter of the hole decreases, flatness of the wafer becomes poor. Among the threes types of susceptors with the hole, optimal design which resulted a good uniform flatness ($5\%$) was obtained when using hole $\sharp$1.

With the recent increase in the amount of interior materials, the medium-density fiberboard(MDF) has continued to be produced at an increasing rate. Accordingly, to prevent the deformation of MDF after its construction, secure the precision of its finishing and improve the performance of its design, this study attempted to investigate the effect of environment humidity conditions on flatness according to the field used in MDF and its relationship to other physical properties. An attempt was made to conduct this study by changing the conditions of surface treatment by moisture and by thickness. For this purpose, it is judged that it is desirable to prevent scheme to maintain the flatness by defining the coefficient of water absorption-induced length change as in the regulation on low-density soft fiberboard and adjusting the standard for wet bending strength upward. It is thought that is further studies will be conducted about the effect of material, adhesive and thermal pressure condition, production system and processing method used in MDF on its scheme to maintain the flatness and changes in length and thickness expansion.

This study has investigated the 3-D deflection characteristics of a flexible plate levitated by non-contact grippers using SPIV method. The measuring instrument consisted of a flexible plate located under four non-contact grippers and two cameras at the bottom of a transparent acrylic plate. Measurements were made on two materials (PVC and PC) for the plate with 50×50 cm2 area and 1 mm thickness. The deflection characteristics and flatness vary depending on the plate material, the gripper position and the air flow supplied to the gripper. For the material of PVC, the overall defection is convex. As the gripper position goes outward from the plate center, the upmost bending point also moves to the outside of the plate with the flatness increasing. However, the air flow rate does not affect the deflection pattern except for the small increase of flatness. For the material of PC, the shape of deflection changes from convex to concave as the gripper position goes out. The flatness is the highest at the point of transition from convex to concave, but the air flowrate has little effect on the flatness.

The necessity for more accurate automatic flatness control(AFC) system has increased of customers' requirement for cold rolled steel sheet. Therefore, many cold rolling mills replaced its AFC system with a measuring roll of the contact type form the non-contact type. In this paper. The performance of AFC system of contact type has been investigated under industrial conditions. It has two kinds of actuator: roll bender, spot cooling system. The test results are as follows: The more strip thickness is thick, the smaller the I value, and the more it is thin, the bigger the I value. And a complex distribution of strip tension was controlled, for example, not only a pocket wave but also a simple center wave and edge wave. Because the tension deviation is larger at acceler- ation speed and decelerationspeed than steady speed, AFC system of contact type is better to adopt over 50m/mim. AFC system reduces rapidly large flatness deviation. The maximum I value of strip has been decreased to 13 I, and sticker, defects caused by poor flatness, have been decreased about 60%.
