  • Carbon-supported Pt catalyst systems containing defect adsorption sites on the anode of direct methanol fuel cells were investigated, to elucidate the mechanisms of H2 dissociation and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to determine the effect of defect sites located neighboring to or distant from the Pt catalyst on H2 and CO adsorption properties, based on electronic properties such as adsorption energy and electronic band gap. Interestingly, the presence of neighboring defect sites led to a reduction of H2 dissociation and CO poisoning due to atomic Pt filling the defect sites. At distant sites, H2 dissociation was active on Pt, but CO filled the defect sites to form carbon π-π bonds, thus enhancing the oxidation of the carbon surface. It should be noted that defect sites can cause CO poisoning, thereby deactivating the anode gradually.

  • In order to find out better policy strategies for public nanny service, this study tried to find out the characteristics and the major problems of this service based on 24 in-depth interviews and 7 focus group interviews with nannies, beneficiaries, managers, and public agents. Research findings showed that public nanny service was effectively filling the gap between nursery care services and parent's care services(especially who are both working). Also, this service provided tailored support to parents who have urgent or unexpected problems which prohibit them from properly caring their children. Especially this service effectively worked for temporary needs of caring young children. This study proposes these two strategies as follows: First, the beneficiary selection criteria should be updated. Second, the level and types of available time should be raised to fit the diverse needs of parents.

  • We propose a reflector-type perfect absorber with double absorption lines using electric and magnetic dipoles of Mie resonances in an array of silicon nanospheres on a silver substrate. In the visible range, hundreds of nanometer-sized nanospheres show strong absorption lines up to 99%, which are enhanced by the interference between Mie scattering and reflections from the silver substrate. The air gap distance between the silicon particles and silver substrate controls this interference, and the absorption wavelengths can be controlled by adjusting the diameter of the silicon particles over the entire range of visible wavelengths. Additionally, our structure has a filling factor of 0.322 when the absorbance is nearly 100%.

  • In this paper, we demonstrate the deformation of TFT-LCD panel using numerical analysis based on the finite element method. To make better uniform cell gap and less stress at a photo-definable spacer (spacer), we have investigated process and design factors such as amount of liquid crystal (LC), spacer density, area, height, and material property. Furthermore we optimized design factors and achieved the robust design through the simulation.

  • 본 연구에서는 PCB에 진공인쇄 방식이 적용된 스크린 인쇄방법을 이용하여 Pattern 및 Hole충전의 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있는 기술을 적용하였다. 새로운 dry process 기술인 직접회로 인쇄 기술은 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 wet process 중 도금, 에칭, 박리 등의 공정을 줄일 수 있어 제조원가, 공정 리드타임 감소, 폐기물 감소로 환경 친화적 공정이라고 할 수 있다. 직접회로 인쇄는 진공도 100 Pa, 인쇄압력 0.45 MPa, 인쇄 속도 30 mm/sec, 인쇄각도 85도, 스크린 마스크와 기판 사이의 Gap 2 mm에서 인쇄될 때 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다. 직접회로 인쇄에 사용된 인쇄기는 일반 PCB공정에서 사용되는 동일한 형태에 진공조건을 유지시킬 수 있도록 개선하여 사용하였다.

  • This paper was dealt with the experiments of the traverse flow and excited CW $CO_2$ Laser. The discharge and laser output characteristics of CW $CO_2$ laser has been investigated. A stable resonator was adopted for the power extraction from the length of 0.9m discharge region with the gap length of 15mm. The maximum output power of about 100W was obtained at the first experiment with the total filling pressure of 30torr, $CO_2$ : $N_2$ : He = 1:3:16.

  • As the technology of a large scale battery have advanced, it's application to the electric power network have been active in foreign country. By providing the electric power energy stored in the electric power storage system when needed, there are many advantages that it is able to reduce the gap between the electric power demand and supply for day and night to increase capacity factor, to upgrade the electric power quality degraded from the unbalance between power demand and supply and to compensate the fluctuation of wind power plant and photovoltaic power generation. In this study, the current application of electric power storage system using battery is introduced in detail, and I have thought out it's application fields based on the foreign examples. These are demand side response, upgrade of the power quality, stabilization of fluctuation of renewable energy and distributed generation for filling elapse.

  • A new simple edge-based segmentation method composed of edge tracing, region filling, and post processing is proposed. Solving so called the small gap problem common to most of edge-based methods, this method segments images so completely as to be suitable for image coding. Experimental results show that our methods has much less (1/3) computation time than Perkins' one, and its reconstructed images is good on visual perception.

  • Recently, the use of structure compound waterproof agent (hereinafter referred to as 'SCWA') that is used when manufacturing concrete for concrete structures, increases in quantity. However, while it is expected that the SCWA that is mixed in the concrete inside can significantly affect the change of physical properties that lift the internal force of a structure. This study has been conducted through an experiment for the effects of cement hardener on the formation of microscopic texture, and newly generated hydrates from that result were not confirmed in the present experiment. It was found that at the hydrate reaction it has the property that can be hardened within the limit of pore diameterar a specific size rather than there is the internal gap filling capacity due to generating other hydrates.
