To restore visual sensation of blind patients, we have proposed a fully implantable retinal prosthesis comprising an three dimensionally (3D) stacked retinal chip for transforming optical signal to electrical signal, a flexible cable with stimulus electrode array for stimulating retina cells, and coupling coils for power transmission. The 3D stacked retinal chip is consisted of several LSI chips such as photodetector, signal processing circuit, and stimulus current generator. They are vertically stacked and electrically connected using 3D integration technology. Our retinal prosthesis has a small size and lightweight with high resolution, therefore it could increase the patients` quality of life (QOL). For realizing the fully implantable retinal prosthesis, we developed a retinal prosthesis module comprising a retinal prosthesis chip and a flexible cable with stimulus electrode array for generating optimal stimulus current. In this study, we used a 2D retinal chip as a prototype retinal prosthesis chip. We fabricated the polymide-based flexible cable of $20{\mu}m$ thickness where 16 channels Pt stimulus electrode array was formed in the cable. Pt electrode has an impedance of $9.9k{\Omega}$ at 400Hz frequency. The retinal prosthesis chip was mounted on the flexible cable by an epoxy and electrically connected by Au wire. The retinal prosthesis chip was cappted by a silicone to pretect from corrosive environments in an eyeball. Then, the fabricated retinal prosthesis module was implanted into an eyeball of a rabbit. We successfully recorded electrically evoked potential (EEP) elicited from the rabbit brain by the current stimulation supplied from the implanted retinal prosthesis module. EEP amplitude was increased linearly with illumination intensity and irradiation time of incident light. The retinal prosthesis chip was well functioned after implanting into the eyeball of the rabbit.

본 논문에서는 두 층 마이크로스트립 구조를 이용한 공진기 구조를 제안하고, 이를 이용해 대역통과 여파기를 설계하였다. 제안된 공진기 구조는 첫 번째 층에 전송선로를 U자형으로 꺽은 헤어핀형태의 공진기를 위치시키고, 두 번째 층에는 첫 번째 층 전송선로의 끝 부분 바로 위에 broadside 결합구조를 위치시킨 형태이다. 이러한 구조는 일반적인 결합선로를 이용한 단일 층 여파기에 비해 설계변수가 다양하기 때문에 여파기 설계가 훨씬 수월하다. 본 논문에서는 강한 결합특성 때문에 광 대역 여파기에만 적용되어왔던 다층구조를 이용해 협 대역 여파기를 구현하였다. 중심주파수 4 ㎒, 부분대역폭 3 % 인 여파기를 구현하였으며, 제작과 측정을 통해 다층기판으로 협 대역 여파기를 구현 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The assumed modes method is developed to derive a set of linear differential equations describing the motion of a flexible wind turbine blade and to propose an approach to investigate the forced responses result from various wind excitations. In this work, we have adopted Euler beam theory and considered that the root of the blade is clamped at the rigid hub. And the aerodynamic parameters and forces are determined based on Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory and quasi-steady airfoil aerodynamics. Numerical calculations show that this method gives good results and it can be used fur modeling and the forced vibration analysis including the coupling effect of wind-turbine blades, as well as turbo-machinery blades, aircraft propellers or helicopter rotor blades which may be considered as straight non-uniform beams with built-in pre-twist.

광표백 광도파로 자기정렬 전극을 이용하여 전기광학 폴리머 디지탈 광스위치를 제작하였다. 이 광스위치는 파장에 무관하게 동작하고 제작조건에 민감하지 않고 설계가 다양하다는 특성을 갖는다. 또한 광섬유와의 결합 손실이 작고 넓은 대역폭을 갖는 장점이 있다. 스위칭 성능을 향상시킬 목적으로 광표백 시간을 이용하여 광표백 광도파로의 도파모드 분포를 적절하게 조절함으로써 브랜치 영역에서의 모드 결합을 최적화 하였다. 또한 광과 인가 전계의 효과적인 겹침과 점진적으로 테이퍼된 전극을 형성하기 위해 자기정렬전극을 이용하였다. 측정된 누화는 1.32.mu.m와 1.55.mu.m에서 모두 -21dB 이하였고 각 출력포트의 소멸비도 모두 20dB 이상이었다.

If a wall separates the bounded and unbounded spaces, then the wall’s role in transporting the acoustic characteristics of the two spaces is not well defined. In this paper, we attempted to see how the acoustic characteristics of two spaces are really affected by the spatial characteristics of the wall. In order to understand coupling mechanism, we choose a finite space and a semi-infinite space separated by the flexible or rigid wall and an opening. A volume interaction can be occurred in structure boundary and a pressure Interaction can be happened in the opening boundary. For its simplicity, without loosing generality, we use rather simplified rectangle model instead of generally shaped model. The source impedance is presented to the various types of boundaries. The distributions of pressure and active intensity are also presented at the cavity- and structure-dominated modes. The resulting modification, shifts of modal frequencies and changing of standing wave patterns to satisfy both coupled boundary conditions and governing equations, are presented.

본 논문에서는 MVC 패턴에 기반한 클래스 다이어그램 저작도구의 설계와 구현을 제시하고자 한다. 클래스 다이어그램 저작도구의 설계는 ClassInformation, ScreenDisplay, ToolManager에 대한 정의를 하고 구조를 기술한다. ClassInformation은 다이어그램의 정보를 가공하거나 처리하는 부분을 담당한다. ScreenDisplay는 저작도구의 화면을 구성하기 위해서 GUI를 담당한다. ToolManager는 저작도구의 입출력 처리위해 이벤트 처리를 담당한다. MVC 패턴을 바탕으로 저작도구의 ClassInformation, ScreenDisplay, ToolManager는 각각의 역할이 독립적으로 나눠져 있고, 결합도를 낮추기 때문에 새로운 기능 추가에 유연하게 대처한다.

Since the oil shock of '70s the engine makers have developed new types of diesel engine with low fuel consumption. There is an obvious tendency towards the use of poorer quality fuels, such as the residual oil from chemical processes of refinery. The shaft driving generators is also widely adopted on behalf of the auxiliary diesel engines, which are driving on the expensive diesel oil and have high fuel oil consumption rates, and some mania propulsion diesel engines are equipped with reduction gear systems to get better propulsive efficiency by slower propeller revolutions. The propulsion shafting system equipped with the shaft driving generator or the geared diesel engine shafting system has flexible couplings, and it requires extensive investigations of the torsional vibration and torque fluctuation in order to ensure the acceptable operation range in service. The characteristics of misfiring must be especially examined for the high viscosity fuels to be used. Both torsional vibration and fluctuating torque resulted from misfiring, should be examined for thier effects on the flexible coupling and propulsion shafting system. This paper is to investigate and solve the above mentioned problems which must be predicted on the design-stage of marine propulsion shafting system. A computer program is developed to calculate the indicated diagram, fluctating torque and torsional vibration for both normal and misfiring conditions.

Physically responsive field-effect transistors (physi-FETs), which are sensitive to physical stimuli, have been studied for decades. However, the primary issue of separating responses by sensing materials from interferences by other subcomponents in a FET transducer under global physical stimuli has not been completely resolved. Recent challenges of structural design and employing smart materials with a large electro-physical coupling effect for flexible physi-FETs still remain. In this article, we propose directly integrating nanocomposites of barium titanate (BT) nanoparticles (NPs) and highly crystalline poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) as gate dielectrics into flexible organic FETs to precisely separate and quantify tiny variations of remnant polarization caused by mechanical stimuli. Investigations under static stimuli resulted in first-reported giant-positive piezoelectric coefficients of d33 up to 960 pC/N, presumably due to significant contribution of the intrinsic piezoelectricity of BT NPs and P(VDF-TrFE) crystallites. This approach provides a general research direction, and not limited to physic-FETs.

The theoretical background and a numerical solution procedure for a time domain hydroelastic code are presented in this paper. The code combines a VOF-based free surface flow solver with a flexible body motion solver where the body linear elastic deformation is described by a modal superposition of dry mode shapes expressed in a local floating frame of reference. These mode shapes can be obtained from any finite element code. The floating frame undergoes a pseudo rigid-body motion which allows for a large rigid body translation and rotation and fully preserves the coupling with the local structural deformation. The formulation relies on the ability of the flow solver to provide the total fluid action on the body including e.g. the viscous forces, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces, slamming forces and the fluid damping. A numerical simulation of a flexible barge is provided and compared to experiments to show that the VOF-based flow solver has this ability and the code has the potential to predict the global hydroelastic responses accurately.
