Laser aided Direct Metal Tooling(DMT) process is a kind of Additive Manufacturing processes (or 3D-Printing processes), which is developed for using various commercial steel powders such as P20, P21, SUS420, H13, D2 and other non-ferrous metal powders, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, copper alloys and so on. The DMT process is a versatile process which can be applied to various fields like the mold industry, the medical industry, and the defense industry. Among of them, the application of DMT process to the mold industry is one of the most attractive and practical applications since the conformal cooling channel core of injection molds can be fabricated at the slightly expensive cost by using the hybrid fabrication method of DMT technology compared to the part fabricated with the machining technology. The main objectives of this study are to provide various characteristics of the parts made by DMT process compared to the same parts machined from bulk materials and prove the performance of the injection mold equipped with the conformal cooling channel core which is fabricated by the hybrid method of DMT process.

Micro structures which are widely used at various fields are commonly fabricated by lithograph, etching and laser methods. Recently, with the emergence of micro tools and ultra-precision machine tools, fabrication of the micro structures obtained using end-milling are studied. However, there are some problems due to the diameter of the micro end-mill getting smaller below $100{\mu}m$. The micro run-out resulted from miniaturization of end-mills have influence seriously on accuracy of micro structures. The error of run-out with a tooling jig showed a decrease of about $9.3{\mu}m$. Furthermore, micro structures with width of $30{\mu}m$ could be applied through experiments of slot machining obtained using 30 and $50{\mu}m$ end-mill. Also, narrow angle structures with $30^{\circ}$ angle could be applied through analysis of machining acute angle structures. Based on basic experiments, micro fluidics channels and spiral patterns for air bearing were machined.

The output power of a crystalline silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) module is not directly the sum of the powers of its unit cells. There are several losses and gain mechanisms that reduce the total output power when solar cells are encapsulated into solar modules. Theses factors are getting high attention as the high cell efficiency achievement become more complex and expensive. More research works are involved to minimize the "cell-to-module" (CTM) loss. Our paper is aimed to focus on electrical losses due to interconnection and mismatch loss at PV modules. Research study shows that among all reasons of PV module failure 40.7% fails at interconnection. The mismatch loss in modern PV modules is very low (nearly 0.1%) but still lacks in the approach that determines all the contributing factors in mismatch loss. This review paper is related to study of interconnection loss technologies and key factors contributing to mismatch loss during module fabrication. Also, the improved interconnection technologies, understanding the approaches to mitigate the mismatch loss factors are precisely described here. This research study will give the approach of mitigating the loss and enable improvement in reliability of PV modules.

As dies and molds have become more and more complicated in the recent years, the demand for lower cost and shorter production time is also growing stronger. Rapid prototyping and Tooling technologies are expected to be used for more rapid and lower cost tool fabrication. However the rapid tooling methods have not yet reached the level of application to the manufacturing of metallic dies and molds which require high dimensional accuracy. As the rapid tooling technology, there are the slurry casting, the powder casting, the direct laser sintering, and so on. Generally, in the slurry casting, the alumina powder and the water soluble phenol were mainly used. However, the mechanical properties of the phenol were not good enough to apply to molds directly. In this study, pure epoxy and two types of aluminium powder reinforced resin are applied to the slurry casting. The mechanical and thermal properties are better than phenol because the epoxy is the thermosetting resin. And mechanical characteristics such as shrinkage rate, hardness, surface roughness are measured for the sake of comparison. Metal powder reinforced resin molds are better than the resin tool form the viewpoint of shrinkage rate and hardness. Finally, it has been shown that the application possibility of this process is high, because the manufacturing time and cost savings are significant.

This paper is concerned with the development of a micro tensile testing machine for optically functional materials such as single or poly crystalline silicon and nickel film. This micro tensile tester has been developed for testing various types of materials and dimensions. PZT type actuation is utilized for precise displacement control. The specifications of the PZT actuated micro tensile testers developed are as follows: the volumetric size of the tester is desktop type of 710mm' 200mm' 270mm; the maximum load capacity and the load resolution in this system are IKgf and 0.0152mgf respectively and; the full stroke and the stoke resolution of the PZT actuator are $1000{\mu}m$ and 10nm respectively. Special automatic specimen installing and setting equipment is applied in order to prevent unexpected deformation and misalignment of specimens during handling of specimens for testing. Nonlinearity of the PZT actuator is compensated to linear control input by an inverse compensation method that is proposed in this paper. The strain data is obtained by ISDG method that uses the laser interference phenomenon. To test the reliance of this micro tensile testing machine, a $200{\mu}m$ thickness nickel thin film and SCS (Single Crystalline Silicon) material that is made with the MEMS fabrication process are used.

There are two major approaches to obtain texture template for HTS coated conductor (CC) ---IBAD and RABiTS. CC's with IBAD template showed both longer and higher Ic results so far. IBAD for CC began with YSZ, the processing of which is very slow compared to other processings needed for the fabrication of CC. Because of this very slow processing speed, IBAD with other materials such as Gd$_2$Zr$_2$O$_{7}$(GZO) and MgO have been developed. The processings of IBAD-GZO and IBAD-MgO are known to be up to 3times and 100 times. respectively, as fast as the processing of IBAD-YSZ. IBAD-MgO is very attractive in that the processing is very fast. IBAD-MgO also needs additional buffer layer(s). Many materials are being investigated to be used as a buffer layer on top of the MgO. BaZrO$_3$ (BZO) is a good candidate as the buffer layer on top of the IBAD-MgO because it is chemically stable and does not react with YBCO at high temperatures. It also has good lattice match with MgO. The BZO film has been deposited on single crystal MgO, and YBCO film was deposited on BZO/MgO to investigate the possibility of using BZO as both the buffer and capping layer of the CC.C.

Polysulfone 수지를 사용한 그래핀 복합조성물을 제조하고, 이것들의 멤브레인에 대한 잔류응력과 열전도 특성을 분석하였다. 그래핀을 포함하는 polysulfone 멤브레인의 잔류응력분석은 Si (100) 기판에 스핀코팅으로 $10{\mu}m$ 두께의 막을 도포하여 준비한 시료를 대상으로 하였으며, 잔류응력의 측정은 온도를 승온하고 냉각하는 완전한 1주기 동안 수행하였다. 그래핀을 포함하는 polysulfone 평막을 증류수를 사용한 상전이법으로 제조하여 두께방향과 면방향으로 열전도도를 구분하여 각각 측정하였으며 평막시료의 열전도 이방성을 분석하였다. 그래핀의 구조적 특징에 의해 이를 포함하는 polysulfone 막의 잔류응력은 그래핀 함량이 증가함에 따라 점차로 완화되는 경향을 나타내었고, 열전도특성은 평막형성의 구조적 특성과 그래핀의 고유특성에 의해 두께방향과 면방향의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.
