1998년 12월부터 1999년 5월까지 총 10일간 소백산천문대의 61cm 망원경과 PM512 CCD 카메라를 이용하여 W UMa형 접촉 식쌍성 AM Cnc의 CCD 측광관측을 수행하여 BVI 광도곡선을 완성하였다. 새로운 광도곡선으로부터 주극심시각 2점, 부극심시각 3점을 얻었다. 이 관측치를 포함하여 AH Cnc의 관측된 모든 극심시각을 수집하여 분석한 결과, 영년 주기 증가를 보이고, 변화 원인을 질량이 큰 별에서 질량이 작은 별로의 보존적 질량이동에 의한 것으로 해석하였다. 영년주기 증가율은 3.18$\times$$10^{-7}$ day/year이다. 새로운 BVI 광도곡선을 WD 쌍성 모델의 접촉모드(Mode 3)로 분석하여 측광해를 산출하였고, 측광해의 결과는 질량비 0.159, 궤도경사각 86$^{\circ}$, 접촉도(fill-out factor) 49%등으로 계산되었다. 측광해를 Sandquist & Shetrone(2003)의 연구결과와 비교하면 질량비와 궤도경사각은 거의 같고, 접촉도는 약간 작은 값이다. 작은 값이다.

We report the effect of physical load on the stability of organic solar cells under physical loads. The active layers in organic solar cells were fabricated with bulk heterojunction films (BHJ) films of poly (3-hexylthiophene) and phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric methyl ester. The loading time was varied up to 60 s by keeping the physical load constant. Results showed that the open circuit voltage was not influenced by the physical load but other solar cell parameters were sensitive to the loading time. The fill factor was very slightly increased at 15 s, while short circuit current density was well kept for 30 s. The power conversion efficiency was reasonably maintained for 45 s but became significantly decreased by the continuous loading for 60 s.

Chill vent has a zigzag venting path which allows residual air or gases to exhaust out very quickly from the die cavity. However molten metal sometimes comes out through the gas venting surfaces causing flash. Effect of designing factors of chill vent and processing variables in high pressure die casting on the performance of chill vent was investigated through a series of calculations by using a commercial code. The most influential factor was the thickness of chill vent, followed by inlet velocity, vent width and die temperature.

We have prepared n-CdS/p-InP hetero- junction solar cells by thermal evaporation. The efficiency under the optium conditions without the grid line contact was 7.3%, and the solar cell having glid line contact with SiO AR coating was the open circuit voltage of 0.71V, the short circuit voltage current density of 15mA/cm$^2$, the fill factor of 0.73, and the efficiency of 11.5%. As result of photoresponse in 400-1000nm wavelength the cutoff of n-CdS/p-InP solar at 500nm results from absorption by the CdS \"window\" and the cutoff at 930 nm result from absorption by the InP.

We have demonstrated ink-jet printed indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium tin zinc oxide (IZTO) electrodes for cost-efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). By ink-jetting of crystalline ITO nano-particles and performing a rapid thermal anneal at $450^{\circ}C$, we were able to obtain directly patterned-ITO electrodes with an average transmittance of 84.14% and a sheet resistance of 202.7 Ohm/square without using a conventional photolithography process. The OSCs fabricated on the directly patterned ITO electrodes by ink-jet printing showed an open circuit voltage of 0.57 V, short circuit current of 8.47 mA/cm2, fill factor of 44%, and power conversion efficiency of 2.13%. This indicates that the ITO directly-patterned by ink-jet printing is a viable alternative to sputter-grown ITO electrodes for cost-efficient printing of OSCs due to the absence of a photolithography process for patterning and more efficient ITO material usage.

We have investigated the ultimate limits of nonuniform grating couplers (NGCs) for optimized fiber coupling to silicon waveguides, compared to uniform grating couplers (UGCs). Simple grating coupler schemes, which can be fabricated in etching steps of the conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers without forming any additional overlay structure, have been simulated numerically and demonstrated experimentally. Optimum values of the grating period, fill factor, and groove number for ultimate coupling efficiency of the NGCs are determined from finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation, and confirmed with experimentally demonstrated devices by comparison to those for the UGCs. Our simulated results indicate that maximum coupling efficiency of NGCs is possible when the minimum pattern size is below 50 nm, but the experimental value for the maximum coupling efficiency is limited by the attainable fabrication tolerance in a practical device process.

This paper presents the design, fabrication and characterization of a 32 by 32 electroplated micromirror array on a glass, a low cost substrate. Approaches taken in this work for the fabrication of micromachined mirror arrays include a line addressing scheme, a seamless array design for high fill factor, planarization techniques of polymeric interlayers, a high yield methodology for the removal of sacrificial polymeric interlayers, and low temperature and chemically safe fabrication techniques. The micromirror is fabricated by aluminum and the size of a single micromirror is 200 $\mu\textrm{m}{\;}{\times}200{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$. Static deflection test of the micro-mirror has been carried out and pull-in voltage of 44V and releasing voltage of 30V was found.

For various historical reasons and some technical reasons, the safety of dams has been controlled by an engineering standards-based approach, which has developed over many years, initially for the design of new dams, but increasingly applied over the past few decades to assess the safety of existing dams. And some countries were asked for risk assessment on existing dam, which included structural, hydraulic safety of dam and social risk. So, Many countries were developed and could be adapted as an additional tool to assist in decision-making for dam safety management.

Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart or CAPTCHA has received remarkable attention. Deciphering distorted texts is still a human task. The current CAPTCHA mainly requires users to read English alphabets. As such, Thai CAPTCHA may be the choice for Thai online practitioners. However, no published work has examined how Thai online practitioners perceive CAPTCHA. This study thus attempts to fill this void. Based on the 112 number of usable online questionnaire submission, Thai online practitioners are all aware of CAPTCHA. Also, nine out of ten samples identified correctly the prime benefits of CAPTCHA. Using exploratory factor analysis, their attitude towards CAPTCHA was classified into two dimensions. They perceived (1) drawback of general CAPTCHA and (2) feasibility of Thai CAPTCHA. In addition to extending our insight into application of CAPTCHA, policy-makers responsible for electronic commerce in Thailand could initiate plans in response to Thai online practitioners' perception.

We introduced nanoscale interfacial layers between the PV layer and the cathode in poly (3-hexylthiophene):methanofullerene bulk-heterojunction polymer photovoltaic (PV) cells. The nanoscale double interfacial layers were made of ultrathin poly (oxyethylenetridecylether) surfactant and low-work-function alloy-metal of Al:Li layers. It was found that the nanoscale interfacial layers increase the photovoltaic performance, i.e., increasing short-circuit current density and fill factor with improved device stability. For PV cells with the nanoscale double interfacial layers, an increase in power conversion efficiency of $4.18{\pm}0.24%$ was achieved, compared to that of the control devices ($3.89{\pm}0.08%$) without the double interfacial layers.
