The introduction of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) system is expected to increase consumer benefits, boost competition in the mobile market, utilize idle bandwidth, and expedite mobile-fixed line convergence and growth in the mobile Internet market. This research endeavors to study the optimal access charge for an MVNO system, which is expected to be introduced to the Korean mobile communications market. We found that the optimal access charge is higher in the interdependent model than in the independent model if demand for mobile phone service is based on a substitution relationship. We also found that the optimal access charge is higher than the marginal cost.

In this paper, we designed binary phase grating with SA (simulated annealing) algorithm for image generation, and used LCTV(liquid crystal television) as phase modulator. We generated optical image using LCTV which controlled by personal computer in real time. Many parameters in SA algorithm are determined by average deviation of the cost function, not experimental method. It was confirmed that the LCTV could be used as a phase modulator through mach-zehnder interferometering experiment. The various optical images are generated in real itme by fourier transforming of the phase gratings on LCTV which is controlled by personal computer and they can be used for optical interconnection in a neural network and addressing information in a volume hologram etc.

This paper reports a study on determination of the adequate location of 100 MVA STATCOM regarding the transfer capability enhancement on the metropolitan interface as well as the economy in system operation. The base case in the study was established considering a scenario of the energy support to North Korea from the KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) system through a HVDC interconnection. In the base case, the energy support was approximately modeled with a load of 1500 MW, and by the load addition, the system was weakened in terms of voltage stability and transfer capability. After a thorough investigation on the case, the location of the STATCOM was decided to compensate the reactive deficit of the modified system and to maximize the operational benefit which can be estimated by FV analysis.

Copper has attracted much attention in the deep submicron ULSI metallization process as a replacement for aluminum due to its lower resistivity and higher electromigration resistance. Electroless copper deposition method is appealing because it yields conformal, high quality copper at relatively low cost and a low processing temperature. In this work, it was investigated that effect of the microstructure of the substrate on the electroless deposition. The mechanism of the nucleation and growth of the palladium nuclei during palladium activation was proposed. Electroless copper deposition on TiN barriers using glyoxylic acid as a reducing agent was also investigated to replace toxic formaldehyde. Furthermore, electroless copper deposition on TaN$\sub$x/ barriers was examined at various nitrogen flow rate during TaN$\sub$x/ deposition. Finally, it was investigated that the effect of plasma treatment of as-deposited TaN$\sub$x/ harriers on the electroless copper deposition.

A honeycomb network is considered as a multiprocessor interconnection network. The network cost defined as the product of degree and diameter is better for honeycomb networks than for other types of meshes. Parallel paths offer us bypasses when the networks have faulty nodes or edges. In this paper, we present a method to construct a parallel path in honeycomb network, and show that the fault diameter for the honeycomb network is d+8, where d is diameter of the honeycomb network.

Over the last decade, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has attracted much attention due to the high solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency up to 10% as well as low cost compared with p-n junction photovoltaic devices. DSSC is composed of mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticle electrodes coated with photo-sensitized dye, the redox electrolyte and the metal counter electrode. The performances of DSSC are dependent on constituent materials and interface as well as device structure. Replacing the heavy glass substrate with plastic materials is crucial to enlarge DSSC applications for the competition with inorganic based thin film photovoltaic devices. One of the biggest problems with plastic substrates is their low-temperature tolerance, which makes sintering of the photoelectrode films impossible. Therefore, the most important step toward the low-temperature DSSC fabrication is how to enhance interparticle connection at the temperature lower than $150^{\circ}C$. In this talk, the key issues for high efficiency plastic solar cells will be discussed, and several strategies for the improvement of interconnection of nanoparticles and bendability will also be proposed.

A robust controller for large space structures(LSS) is studied from passivity point of view. While velocity sensors are commonly used for proportional-derivative (PD) control law to stabilize large space structures, if the structure can be controlled without velocity measurements, it is desirable against the failure of velocity sensors and for the cost reduction of the sensing system. In a recent result a dynamic output feedback control law has been provided using only displacement measurements. This paper presents a passivity-based controller design method and provides an alternative stability analysis tool for the previous displacement feedback robust control law. The closed-loop system can be viewed as a feedback interconnection of a passivated large space structure (LSS) and a strictly positive real (SPR) system.

An efficient real-time implementation of digital filtering algorithms using a multiprocessor system in a ring network is investigated. The development time and cost for implementing a high speed signal processing system can be considerably reduced because algorithm are implemented in software using commercially available digital signal processors. This method is based on a parallel block processing approach, where a continuously supplied input data is divided into blocks, and the blocks are processed concurrently by being assigned to each processor in the system. This approach not only requires a simple interconnection network but also reduces the number of communications among the processors very much. The data dependency of the blocks to be processed concurrently brings on dependency problems between the processors in the system. A systematic scheduling method has been developed by using a processors which can be used efficiently, the methods for solving dependency problems between the processors are investigated. Implementation procedures and results for FIR, recursive (IIR), and adaptive filtering algorithms are illustrated.

We present simple, low-cost methods for the fabrication of polymeric waveguides that have large core sizes for use as optical interconnects. We have used both hot embossing and micro-contact printing techniques for the fabrication of multimode waveguides using the same materials. Rectangular and large-core (60${\times}$60 $\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$) channels were readily prepared when using these methods. The dimensions of the embossed and printed channels were the same as those of the pattern on the original master. The polymeric waveguides that we fabricated with large core sizes exhibited a low propagation loss of 0.1 dB/cm at 850 nm, which indicates that hot embossing and micro-contact printing are suitable techniques for the fabrication of optical waveguides having large-core.
