Drop placement accuracy and precision are the critical performance values of industrial ink jet deposition systems. Imperfect components and environments have severe impacts on drop placement. Litrex has identified over 120 error sources and developed engineering solutions to address the errors. In this paper, improved results using thermal compensation and stage mapping techniques are demonstrated. A recent progress in inkjet fabrication of multi-color electrophoretic display on flexible substrate with large distortion is also demonstrated.

In this paper, a DTG(Dynamically Tuned Gyroscope) and a DTG-based accelerometer designed and fabricated in the Seoul National University are described. For the purpose of the design, the functions and properties of DTG and accelerometer are investigated. The performance of the DTG is tested with the help of a single - degree - of - freedom rate table and a computer. The test result shows that the standard deviation of the DTG's random drift is 9.2 deg/(20min). The error model of the accelerometer is shown also.

This paper presents a technique for fabricating an electro-optical microlens for microcolumn e-beam system. The device, named Self-Aligned Microlens (SAM) was realized by mixing surface and bulk micromachining technology. The microbridges were formed on both sides of silicon wafer symmetrically. The alignment error between the electrodes could be controlled within a few micrometers with also reducing the numbers of anodic bonding.

Manufacturing of lens and mirror using Diamond Turning Machine (DTM) offers distinct advantages including short fabrication time and low cost as compared to grinding or polishing process. However, the DTM process can leave mid-frequency error in the optical surface which generates an undesirable diffraction effect and stray light. The mid-frequency error is expected to be eliminated by mechanical polishing after the DTM process, but polishing of soft surface of ductile aluminum is extremely difficult because the polishing process inevitably degrades the surface form accuracy. In order to increase its surface hardness, we performed electroless nickel plating on the surface of diamond-turned aluminum (Al-6061T6) off-axis mirrors, which was followed by the 6-hour-long baking process at $200^{\circ}C$ for improving its hardness. Then we polished the nickel plated off-axis mirrors to remove the mid-frequency error and measured polished mirror surfaces using the optical surface profilometer (NT 2000, Wyko Inc.). Finally, we ascertained that the mid-frequency error on the mirror surface was successfully removed. During the whole processes of nickel plating and polishing, we monitored the form accuracy using the ultra-high accurate 3-D profilometer (UA3P, Panasonic Corp.) to maintain it within the allowable tolerance range (< tens of nm). The polished off-axis mirror was optically tested using a visible laser source and a pinhole, and the airy pattern obtained from the polished mirror was compared with the unpolished case to check the influence of mid-frequency error on optical images.

The Cassegrain telescope consists of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror. In the case of a secondary mirror, it is more difficult to test wavefront error than for a primary mirror, because it reflects the entire testing beam, as it is convex in shape. In this paper we tested the wavefront error of a complex aspheric convex secondary mirror by using the Simpson-Oland-Meckel Hindle test. To separate the systematic errors, such as fabrication error and alignment error of a meniscus lens, we adopted the QN absolute test (pixel-based absolute test using the quasi-Newton method) as well. Finally, we compared the measured result with that of an ASI (Aspheric Stitching Interferometer) made by the QED company, which resulted in an rms difference of only 2.5 nm, showing a similar shape of astigmatism aberration.

A new method is proposed for optimal management of the fabrication and assembly tolerance of optical systems. The practical utility of the method is shown by applying it to a wide-angle anamorphic IR optical system. In this method the wavefront error of an optical system is expressed in terms of Zernike polynomials, and the sensitivity of the expansion coefficients to the variation of design parameters is analyzed. Based on this sensitivity analysis, the optimal tolerances of the fabrication parameters are determined and the best compensators for the assembly process are selected. By using this method, one can accurately predict with good confidence the best possible performance of a completed optical system in practice.

This paper addresses the control issue of vibratory MEMS-based gyroscopes. This study considers a gyroscope that can be modeled by an inner mass attached to an outer mass by four springs and four dampers. The outer mass itself is attached to the rotating frame by an equal number of springs and dampers. In order to measure the angular rate of the rotating frame, a driving force is applied to the inner mass and the Coriolis force is sensed along the y-direction associated with the outer mass. Due to micro-fabrication imperfections, including anisoelasticity and damping effects, both gyroscopes do not allow accurate measurements, and therefore, it becomes necessary to devise feedback controllers to reduce the effects of such imperfections. Given an ideal gyroscope that meets certain performance specifications, a feedback control strategy is synthesized to reduce the error dynamics between the actual and ideal gyroscopes. For a dual-mass gyroscope, it is demonstrated that the error dynamics are remarkably decreased with the application of four actuators applied to both masses in the x and y directions. It is also shown that it is possible to reduce the error dynamics with only two actuators applied to the outer mass only. Simulation results are presented to prove the efficiency of the proposed control design.

We propose a novel design concept to improve extinction ratio by minimizing $Cv_e-Cv_o$ . Improvements of loss and fabrication error limit are also obtained by this hybrid design of the lateral shift and curved waveguide to control transfer coefficients, $Cv_e and Cv_o$ . The concept of lateral shift merges two transfer coefficients, and additional curved waveguide controls mode profile asymmetrically to help this minimizing effect of $Cv_e-Cv_o$ with no serious decrease in transfer efficiency. For a given InP based waveguide structure, the mode propagation analysis with an effective index approximation provided a calculational improvement of extinction ratio to -39 dB and fabrication error limit to $57.19\mu\textrm{m}$, with a structure design of $300\mu\textrm{m}$ waveguide curvature and $0.1\mu\textrm{m}$lateral shift. shift.

In this paper, we present the design of an electromagnetic scanning mirror with torsional springs. The scanning mirror consisting of torsional springs and electromagnetic coils was designed for the applications of laser animation systems. We analyzed and optimized three types of torsional springs, namely, straight beam springs (SBS), classic serpentine springs (CSS), and rotated serpentine springs (RSS). The torsional springs were analyzed in terms of electrical resistance, fabrication error tolerance, and resonance mode separation of each type using analytical formula or numerical analysis. The RSS has advantages over the others as follows: 1) A low resistance of conductors, 2) wide resonance mode separation, 3) strong fabrication error tolerance, 4) a small footprint. The double-layer coils were chosen instead of single-layer coils with respect to electromagnetic forces. It resulted in lower power consumption. The geometry of the scanning mirror was optimized by calculations; RSS turn was 12 and the width of double-layer coil was $100{\mu}m$, respectively. When the static rotational angle is 5 degrees, the power consumption of the mirror plate was calculated to be 9.35 mW since the resistance of the coil part and a current is $122{\Omega}$ and 8.75 mA, respectively. The power consumption of full device including the mirror plate and torsional springs was calculated to be 9.63 mW.

Current sensors are used widely in the fields of current control, monitoring, and measuring. They have become more popular with the increasing demand for smart grids in a power network, generation of renewable energy, electric cars, and hybrid cars. Although open loop Hall effect current sensors have merits, such as low cost, small size, and weight, they have low accuracy. This paper describes the design and fabrication of a 300A open loop current sensor that has high accuracy and temperature performance. The core of the current sensor was calculated numerically and the signal conditioning circuits were designed using circuit analysis software. The characteristics of the manufactured open loop current sensor of 300 A class was measured at currents up to 300 A. According to the test of the current sensor, the accuracy error and linearity error were 0.75% and 0.19%, respectively. When the temperature compensation was carried out with the relevant circuit, the temperature coefficients were less than $0.012%/^{\circ}C$ at temperatures between $-25^{\circ}C$ and $85^{\circ}C$.
