In this paper, a trade-off design and fabrication of IPMC(Ionic Polymer Metal Composites) as an actuator for a flapping device have been described. Experiments for the internal solvent loss of IPMCs have been conducted for various combinations of cation and solvent in order to find out the best combination of cation and solvent for minimal solvent loss and higher actuation force. From the experiments, it was found that IPMCs with heavy water as their solvent could operate longer. Relations between length/thickness and tip force of IPMCs were also quantitatively identified for the actuator design from the tip force measurement of 200, 400, 640, and $800{\mu}m$ thick IPMCs. All IPMCs thicker than $200{\mu}m$ were processed by casting $Nafion^{TM}$ solution. The shorter and thicker IPMCs tended to generate higher actuation force but lower actuation displacement. To improve surface conductivity and to minimize solvent evaporation due to electrically heated electrodes, gold was sputtered on both surfaces of the cast IPMCs by the Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD) process. For amplification of a short IPMC's small actuation displacement to a large flapping motion, a rack-and-pinion type hinge was used in the flapping device. An insect wing was attached to the IPMC flapping mechanism for its flapping test. In this test, the wing flapping device using the $800{\mu}m$ thick IPMC. could create around $10^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$ flapping angles and $0.5{\sim}15Hz$ flapping frequencies by applying $3{\sim|}4V$.

Penetration rate of large molecule through skin is very low due to the barrier effect of stratum corneum. Novel microneedle treatment device with roll was designed for transdermal delivery of large molecular drugs such as vaccine and protein drugs. The permeation rates of FITC labelled bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) as a model protein were determined using modified Franz diffusion cell and hairless mouse skin which were treated by hydrogel or solution containing FITC-BSA. Fluorescent spectrophotometer was used to analyze the concentration of FITC-BSA. Microscope using fluorescent filter was used to capture the image and location of FITC-BSA in the skin. We confirmed that permeation rate of BSA was increased with the treatment by microneedle and was increased by the increasing frequency of treatment. Furthermore, the permeation rate observed from hydrogel treated skin was significantly higher than that from solution treated skin.

A large-area RF-driven ion source is being developed at Germany for the heating and current drive of ITER device. Negative hydrogen ion sources are major components of neutral beam injection (NBI) systems in future large-scale fusion experiments such as ITER and DEMO. The RF sources for the production of positive hydrogen ions have been successfully developed at IPP (Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics), Garching, for the ASDEX-U and W7-AS neutral beam heating systems. Ion sources of the first NBI system (NBI-1) for the KSTAR tokamak have been developed successfully with a bucket plasma generator based on the filament arc discharge, which have contributed to achieve a good plasma performance such as 15 sec H-mode operation with an injection of 3.5 MW NB power. There is a development plan of RF ion source at the KAERI to extract the positive ions, which can be used for the second NBI system (NBI-2) of the KSTAR and to extract the negative ions for future fusion devices such as Fusion Neutron Source and Korea-DEMO. The development progresses of RF ion source at the KAERI are described in this presentation.

Objective : The retrospective study is undertaken to report clinical results of anterior cervical interbody fusion with an intradiscal cage with an integrated plate [PCB cervical plating system]. Methods : 38 patients underwent anterior cervical interbody fusion with PCB cervical plating system and followed $6{\sim}24\;months$. The authors investigated overall surgical results; clinical outcome, fusion rate, change of interspace height & lordotic angle, and complications. Results : No complication was observed during the operation. Clinical improvement was identified in 34 cases [89.5%]. Bone fusion observed in 44 out of 49 sites [90.7%]. After operation, the interspace height increased from $5.4{\pm}1.3mm$ to $7.8{\pm}1.5mm$ and maintained $7.4{\pm}1.1mm$ and, interspace angle went up from $4.2{\pm}0.7^{\circ}$ to $4.8{\pm}1.1^{\circ}$ and maintained $4.6{\pm}$0.9^{\circ}. The loosening of screw was observed in 6 cases, one of which had reoperation because of the expulsion of the device accompanied. Conclusion : PCB cervical plating system could restore interbody height and lordosis in anterior cervical interbody fusion. But, if the insertion of the spacer is not precise, the frequencies of hardware failure are relatively high. It is considered necessary for the operator to be careful in the procedure.

전기/하이브리드 자동차, 도금용 정루기 등에 들어가는 전력변환장치는 SCR, MOSFET, IGBT와 같은 스위칭 소자가 필수적으로 사용되며 이를 구동하기 위해서는 Gate Driver가 역시 필수적으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 대용량 전력변환장치에 사용되는 스위칭소자 SCR/IGBT를 구동하는데 필요한 Gate Driver를 제안한다. 제안된 Gate Driver는 4개의 BJT를 이용한 H-Bridge를 포함하며, 이는 입력된 DC 전력을 AC로 변환하여 Transformer를 통하여 Isolate 된 전원을 생성한다. 또한 Gate 제어 신호는 입력 전원과 Isolated된 전원이 연결된 Photo Coupler를 통해 Isolate된 제어 신호로 변환하여 실제 SCR/IGBT를 구동한다. 본 논문에서는 Simulation을 통해서 설계된 555 Timer를 통한 H-Bridge 동작을 검증하며 시제품을 제작하여 27V 50,000A 급의 도금용 정류기를 구동시켜 파형을 확인함으로써 제안된 Gate Driver의 타당성을 검증한다.

Recently taping robot with smart recognition function have been studied in the coil manufacturing field. Due to the difficulty of 3D surface processing from the complicated working environment, it is not easy to accomplish smart tape attachment motion with non-contact sensor. To solve these problems the applicable surface recognition algorithm and a flexible sensing device has been recommended. In this research, the fusion method between 1D displacement and 3D laser scanner is applied for robust tape attachment about cold rolled coil. With these sensors we develop a two-step exploration and the smart algorithm for the awareness of non-aligned coil's information. In the proposed robot system for tape attachment, the problem is reduced to coil's radius searching with laser displacement sensor at first, and then position and orientation detection with 3D laser scanner. To get the movement at the robot's base frame, the hand-eye compensation between robot's end effector and sensing device should be also carried out respectively. In this paper, we examine the auto-coordinate transformation method in the calibration step for the real environment usage. From the experimental results, it was shown that the taping motion of robot had a robust under the non-aligned cold rolled coil.

In this paper, we review studies attempting to triumph over the limitation of Si-based semiconductor technologies through a heterogeneous integration of high mobility compound semiconductors on a Si substrate, and the co-integration of electronic and/or optical devices. Many studies have been conducted on the heterogeneous integration of various materials to overcome the Si semiconductor performance and obtain multi-purpose functional devices. On the other hand, many research groups have invented device fusion technologies of electrical and optical devices on a Si substrate. They have co-integrated Si-based CMOS and InGaAs-based optical devices, and Ge-based electrical and optical devices. In addition, chip and wafer bonding techniques through TSV and TOV have been introduced for the co-integration of electrical and optical devices. Such intensive studies will continue to overcome the device-scaling limitation and short-channel effects of a MOS transistor that Si devices have faced using a heterogeneous integration of Si and a high mobility compound semiconductor on the same chip and/or wafer.

In this paper, a biosensor based on a gated lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is proposed. The gated lateral BJT can function as both a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and a BJT. By using the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) method, the C-reactive protein antibodies were immobilized on the floating gate of the device as the sensing membrane. Through the experiments, the characteristics of the biosensor were analyzed in this study. According to the results, it is indicated that the gated lateral BJT device can be successfully applied as a biosensor. Additionally, we found that the sensitivity of the gated lateral BJT can be varied by adjusting the emitter (source) bias.
