SACOS series of subchannel analysis codes have been developed by XJTU-NuTheL for many years and are being used for the thermal-hydraulic safety analysis of various reactor cores. To achieve fine whole core pin-level analysis, the input preprocessing and parallel capabilities of the code have been developed in this study. Preprocessing is suitable for modeling rectangular and hexagonal assemblies with less error-prone input; parallelization is established based on the domain decomposition method with the hybrid of MPI and OpenMP. For domain decomposition, a more flexible method has been proposed which can determine the appropriate task division of the core domain according to the number of processors of the server. By performing the calculation time evaluation for the several PWR assembly problems, the code parallelization has been successfully verified with different number of processors. Subsequent analysis results for rectangular- and hexagonal-assembly core imply that the code can be used to model and perform pin-level core safety analysis with acceptable computational efficiency.

Electrical, optical, surface, and structural properties of amorphous indium-zinc-oxide (a-IZO) grown by box cathode sputtering (BCS) were compared with crystalline indium-tin-oxide (c-ITO) anode films grown by conventional DC sputtering (DCS). Although x-ray diffraction plot of BCS-grown IZO film shows amorphous structure, the optical and electrical properties of a-IZO is comparable to those of c-ITO film. In particular, BCS-grown IZO films shows very smooth surface without defects such as pin hole and cracks because most of the energy of the sputtered atoms was confined in high density plasma region in box cathode gun. Furthermore polymer organic light emitting diodes (POLED) with the a-IZO anode film shows better electrical properties than that of POLED with the c-ITO anode film due to high work function and smooth surface of a-IZO. This suggested that BCS-grown a-IZO film is promising anode materials substituting conventional c-ITO anode in OLED and flexible displays.

With a highly functional methyl vinyl silicone rubber (VMQ) matrix and filler materials of $B_4C$, PbO, and benzophenone (BP) and through powder surface modification, silicone rubber mixing, and vulcanized molding, a flexible radiation shielding and resistant composite was prepared in the study. The dispersion property of the powder in the matrix filler was improved by powder surface modification. BP was added into the matrix to enhance the radiation resistance performance of the composites. After irradiation, the tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength of the composites decreased, while the Shore hardness of the composites and the crosslinking density of the VMQ matrix increased. Moreover, the composites with BP showed better mechanical properties and smaller crosslinking density than those without BP after irradiation. The initial degradation temperatures of the composites containing BP before and after irradiation were $323.6^{\circ}C$ and $335.3^{\circ}C$, respectively. The transmission of neutrons for a 2-mm thick sample was only 0.12 for an Am-Be neutron source. The transmission of ${\gamma}$-rays with energies of 0.662, 1.173, and 1.332 MeV for 2-cm thick samples were 0.7, 0.782, and 0.795, respectively.

차세대 모바일용 전자디스플레이로 각광받고 있는 FOLED (flexible organic light emitting display)의 연구에서 display의 신뢰성과 수명은 매우 중요한 연구 테마이다. OLED의 수명단축에 영향을 미치는 요소는 수분에 의한 열화가 가장 치명적이다. Barrier layer를 통한 수분의 주요 침투경로는 pin-hole과 void 등과 같은 defect에 의한 것으로 보인다. 수분의 침투 경로를 제어하는 OLED용 barrier layer의 요구조건은 WVTR (water vapor transmission rate)이 $10^{-6}g/m^2{\cdot}day$ 이하로 낮아야 한다. Barrier layer가 가져야 할 핵심적인 조건은 유연성을 가지면서 동시에 WVTR 값이 매우 낮아야 하는데, 아직까지 이를 만족하는 barrier layer의 개발은 아직 덜된 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) 기판에 sputtering법으로 barrier layer를 제조하였다. 증착에 이용한 타겟은 두가지 종류인 Al과 $Al_2O_3$를 사용하였으며, 다층박막으로 제조하였다. 제조된 barrier layer의 수분침투 특성은 WVTR의 측정으로, 유연성의 평가는 in-situ fatigue test를 수행하여 측정하였다. 종합적인 특성 평가를 위하여 SEM과 AFM (atomic force microscope) 관찰도 하였다.

Block matching motion estimation is the most widely used method for motion compensated coding of image sequences. Based on a two dimensional systolic array, VLSI architecture and implementation of the full search block matching algorithm are described in this paper. The proposed architecture improves conventional array architecture by designing efficient processing elements that can control the data prodeuced by efficient search window division method. The advantages are that 1) it allows serial input to reduce pin counts for efficient composition of local memories but performs parallel processing. 2) It is flexible and can adjust to dimensional changes of search windows with simple control logic. 3) It has no idel time during the operation. 4) It can operate in real/time for low and main level in MPEG-2 standard. 5) It has modular and regular structure and thus is sutiable for VLSI implementation.

The electric controlled marine diesel engine has fuel pump generating the high pressurized fuel for fuel injection to combustion chamber via a common rail. Fuel pump consists of a cam-roller system. Journal bearing installed between a roller and a cam-roller pin is subjected to fluctuating heavy and instant loads by cam lift. First, Kinematic analysis is carried out to predict bearing loads during one cycle acting on the journal bearing. Second, flexible multi-body dynamic analysis and transient elasto-hydrodynamic(EHD) lubrication analysis for journal bearing considering elastic deformation of cam-roller pin, roller and bearing are conducted using AVL EXCITE/PU software to predict lubrication performance. The clearance ratio and journal groove shape providing lubrication oil are important parameter in bearing design having good performance and can be changed easier than other design parameters such as diameter, width, oil supply pressure and bearing material grade. Generally, journal bearing performance is represented by the minimum oil film thickness(MOFT) and peak oil film pressure(POFP). As well as the traditional design parameters(MOFT, POFP), in this study, temperature rise of lubrication oil is also evaluated through the side leakage flow of supplied oil. By the evaluating MOFT, POFP and temperature rise, the optimum bearing clearance ratio is decided.

일찍이 $SiO_2$ (Silicon dioxide) 박막은 다양한 분야에서 유전층, 부식 방지층, passivation층 등의 역할을 해왔다. 그리고 이러한 박막 공정은 대부분 진공의 환경에서 그 공정이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 진공 system은 chamber, loadlock 그리고 펌프 등의 다양한 진공장비로 인한 생산 비용 증가, 공정의 복잡성뿐만 아니라 공정의 대면적화에 어려움을 지니고 있다. 그리고 최근 flexible display의 제조 공정에서 polymer 혹은 plastic 기판을 제조 공정에 적용시키기 위해 저온 공정이 필수적으로 요구 되고 있다. 이러한 기술적 한계를 뛰어 넘기 위해 최근 많은 연구가들은 atmospheric pressure plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD)에 대해 지속적으로 다양한 연구를 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 remote-type의 modified pin-to-plate dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) 시스템을 이용한 $SiO_2$ 무기 박막 증착에 관해 연구하였다. $O_2$/He/Ar의 gas와 5 kV AC power (30 kHz)의 전원장치를 통해 고밀도 대기압 플라즈마를 발생시켰고, silicon precursor로는 hexamethyldisilazane (HMSD)를 사용하였다. 먼저 HMDS와 $O_2$ gas의 flow rate 변화에 따른 증착률을 조사하였고 그 다음으로 박막의 조성 및 표면 특성을 조사하였다. HMDS의 유량이 100 ~ 300 sccm으로 증가함에 따라 증착속도는 증가했다. 하지만 FT-IR을 통해 HMDS의 유량이 증가하면 반응에 참여할 산소 분자의 부족으로 인해 $-(CH_3)_X$의 peak intensity가 증가하고, -OH의 peak intensity가 점차 감소함을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 또한 증착된 박막의 표면에 particle과 불균일한 surface morphology 등을 SEM image를 통해 관찰 하였다. 산소 유량이 탄소와 관련된 많은 불순물들의 제거에 도움이 됨에도 불구하고 14 slm 이상의 산소가 반응기 내로 주입되게 되면 대기압 플라즈마의 discharge가 불안정하게 되어 공정효율을 저하시키는 요소가 되었다. 결과적으로 HMDS (150 sccm)/$O_2$ (14 slm)/He (5 slm)/Ar (3 slm)의 조건에서 약 42.7 nm/min 증착률을 가지며, 불순물이 적고 surface morphology가 깨끗한 $SiO_2$ 박막을 증착할 수 있었다.

In the case of door locks most widely used in the market, the most used area as a one-dimensional problem is worn out, and a worn area which does not use a special attack method enables password guessing. To solve this problem, various methods such as a keypad for randomly displaying numbers are introduced, but this is also not completely safe. The common feature of all the solutions so far is that the keypad area is fixed. In this paper, we consider that point in reverse and create a new area smaller than the entire area in the entire area of the keypad, making the keypad of the new area move randomly, thereby preventing the password from being deduced. When using this technique, a new type of keypad is proposed for the first time because of the impossibility of a shoulder surfing attack even though the number of keypad is left as it is.

We fabricated an organic-inorganic nano laminated encapsulation layer using molecular layer deposition (MLD) combined with atomic layer deposition (ALD). The $Al_2O_3$ inorganic layers as an effective single encapsulation layer were deposited at 80 degree C using ALD with alternating surface-saturation reactions of TMA and $H_2O$. A self-assembled organic layers (SAOLs) were fabricated at the same temperature using MLD. MLD and ALD deposition process were performed in the same reaction chamber. The prepared SAOL-$Al_2O_3$ organic-inorganic nano laminate films exhibited good mechanical stability and excellent encapsulation property. The measurement of water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) was performed with Ca test. We controlled thickness-ratio of organic and inorganic layer, and specific ratio showed a lowest WVTR value. Also this encapsulation layer contained very few pin-holes or defects which were linked in whole area by defect test. To apply into real OLEDs panels, we controlled a film stress from tensile to compressive and flexibility defined as an elastic modulus with organic-inorganic ratio. It has shown that OLEDs panel encapsulated with nano laminate layer exhibits better properties than single layer encapsulated in acceleration conditions. These results indicate that the organic-inorganic nano laminate thin films have high potential for flexible display applications.
