This paper presents the fabrication and evaluation of the novel drag force type air flowmeter using MEMS technologies for the vehicle applications. To obtain the air drag force, the flowmeter utilized the curved beam structure, which was realized by the difference of residual stress between the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer. The paddle structure was applied for the maximum air drag force, and the dual-beam was adapted to prevent distortion. The basic experiments were performed in the wind tunnel, and the stable outputs were obtained. The device was applied to the internal combustion engine, and the results were compared with the HI-DS output where the convection thermal flowmeter was used as the reference sensor. The results indicated that the comparable resolutions and response times were obtained under the various engine speeds.

In this study, a commercial fixation device, BioFlex, which was designed with shape memory alloy(SMA) for dynamic stabilization of spine was biomechanically evaluated. The finite element model of intact lumbar spine from L1 to S was developed using CT images. Also, low FE models of 2-level(L4-L5-S) and 3-level(L3-L4-L5-S) posteriori fixation using titanium(Ti) rod and BioFlex(SMA) rod. The rotations of bone segments in the intact model and four models were predicted. Although the rotations of the BioFlex fixation model were smaller than those of the intact model, they were relatively larger than those of Ti fixation. The present can be applied for not only evaluation of the stability of interbody fixator, but also development of new implant.

We have investigated thermal stability of the mechanical and thermal conductive properties of Cu/STS/Cu 3 layered clad metal lead frame material for a LED device package at different temperatures ranging from RT to $200^{\circ}C$. The fabricated Cu/STS/Cu clad metal has a good thermal stability for the mechanical tensile strength and thermal conductivity of the over 50 $Kg/mm^2$ to the $150^{\circ}C$ and 270 $W/m{\cdot}K$ to the $200^{\circ}C$, respectively. This clad metal lead frame material at a high temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ shows a reinforced mechanical tensile strength by 1.5 times to conventional pure copper lead frame materials and also a comparable thermal conductivity to typical copper alloy lead frame materials.

Currently, increasing numbers of access points (AP) are being deployed in enterprise offices, campuses and municipal downtowns for flexible Internet connectivity, but most of these access points are idle or redundant most of the time, which causes significant energy waste. Therefore, with respect to power conservation, applying energy efficient strategies in WIFI networks is strongly advocated. One feasible method is dynamically managing network resources, particularly APs, by powering devices on or off. However, when an AP is powered on, the device is initialized through a long boot time, during which period clients cannot be associated with it; therefore, the network performance would be greatly impacted. In this paper, based on a global view of an entire WLAN, we propose an AP selection technology, known as Temporary Access Selection (TAS). The criterion of TAS is a fusion metric consisting of two evaluation indexes which are based on throughput and battery life, respectively. TAS is both service and clients' preference specific through balancing the data rate, battery life and packet size. TAS also works well independently in traditional WLANs in which no energy efficient strategy is deployed. Moreover, this paper demonstrates the feasibility and performance of TAS through experiments and simulations with Network Simulator version 3 (NS3).

In recent years, convolutional neural network (CNN) has become the primary method for face detection. But its shortcomings are obvious, such as expensive calculation, heavy model, etc. This makes CNN difficult to use on the mobile devices which have limited computing and storage capabilities. Therefore, the design of lightweight CNN for face detection is becoming more and more important with the popularity of smartphones and mobile Internet. Based on the CPU real-time face detector FaceBoxes, we propose a multi-task lightweight face detector, which has low computing cost and higher detection precision. First, to improve the detection capability, the squeeze and excitation modules are used to extract attention between channels. Then, the textual and semantic information are extracted by shallow networks and deep networks respectively to get rich features. Finally, the landmark detection module is used to improve the detection performance for small faces and provide landmark data for face alignment. Experiments on AFW, FDDB, PASCAL, and WIDER FACE datasets show that our algorithm has achieved significant improvement in the mean average precision. Especially, on the WIDER FACE hard validation set, our algorithm outperforms the mean average precision of FaceBoxes by 7.2%. For VGA-resolution images, the running speed of our algorithm can reach 23FPS on a CPU device.

The Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) tokamak device is being constructed to perform long-pulse, high-beta, advanced tokamak fusion physics experiments. The long-pulse operation requires the non-inductive current drive system such as the Lower-Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) system. The LHCD system drives the non-inductive plasma current by means of C-band RF with 2-MW CW power and 5-GHz frequency. For the LHCD test experiments, an RF test system is developed. It is composed of a 5-GHz, 1.5-MW pulsed magnetron and a compact pulse modulator with $4\;{\mu}s$ of pulse width. The pulse modulator provides the maximum output voltage of 45 kV and the maximum current of 90 A. It is composed of 7 stages of Pulse Forming Network (PFN), a thyratron tube (E2V, CX1191D), and a pulse transformer with 1:4 step-up ratio. In this paper, the detailed design and the performance test of the pulse modulator are presented.

본 논문에서는 웨이퍼 레벨 기술을 이용한 CIS용 폴리머 접합 기술을 연구하고 접합 후의 warpage 분석과 개별 패키지의 신뢰성 테스트를 수행하였다. 균일한 접합 높이를 유지하기 위하여 glass 웨이퍼 상에 dam을 형성하고 접합용 폴리머 층을 patterning하여 Si과 glass 웨이퍼의 접합 테스트를 수행하였다. Si 웨이퍼의 접합온도, 접합 압력 그리고 접합 층이 낮을수록 warpage 결과가 감소하였으며 접합시간과 승온 시간이 짧을수록 warpage 결과가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 접합 된 웨이퍼를 dicing 하여 각 개별 칩 단위로 TC, HTC, Humidity soak의 신뢰성 테스트를 수행하였으며 warpage 결과가 패키지의 신뢰성 결과에 미치는 영향은 미비한 것으로 확인되었다.

Recently, the use of large-capacity secondary batteries for electric vehicles is rapidly increasing, and accordingly, the demand for technologies and equipment for battery reliability evaluation is increasing significantly. The existing short circuit test equipment for evaluating the stability of the existing secondary battery consists of relays, MCs, and switches, so when a large current is energized during a short circuit, contact fusion failures occur frequently, resulting in high equipment maintenance and repair costs. There was a disadvantage that repeated testing was impossible. In this paper, we developed an electronic short circuit test device that realizes stable switching operation when a large-capacity power semiconductor switch is energized with a large current, and applied smart ICT technology to this electronic short circuit stability test system to achieve high speed and high precision through communication with the master. It is expected that the inspection history management system based on data measurement, database format and user interface will be utilized as essential inspection process equipment.
