This study represents the temperature uniformity in catalytic converter. Present research model type is a monolithic catalytic converter. This type was been widely used for complying the regulations of pollutant emissions from automobiles. The mean experimental parameters are engine speed and ceramics monolith in the catalytic converter. The experimental test engine model used was the 124.1cc motorcycle engine. The experimental study using thermal imaging method shows the megaphone type model has larger effective area than the basic model. The rate of effective area in the basic model is about 8.9 % and the megaphone type model are 41.52 %, 34.60 %, 33.43 %, 25.43 %, 17.82 % according to the diffuser angle $4^{\circ}\;to\;8^{\circ}$. In conclusion, the megaphone type monolithic converter has higher efficiency of reducing the pollution with less noise compared to the basic shape. We believe this will be very important as a design guide of the advanced motorcycle.

In this study, a gradient material for shielding neutrons and gamma rays was developed, which consists of epoxy resin, boron carbide (B₄C), lead (Pb) and a little graphene oxide. It aims light weight and compact, which will be applied on the transportable nuclear reactor. The material is made up of sixteen layers, and the thickness and components of each layer were designed by genetic algorithm (GA) combined with Monte Carlo N Particle Transport (MCNP). In the experiment, the viscosities of the epoxy at different temperatures were tested, and the settlement regularity of Pb particles and B₄C particles in the epoxy was simulated by matlab software. The material was manufactured at 25 ℃, the Pb C and O elements of which were also tested, and the result was compared with the outcome of the simulation. Finally, the material's shielding performance was simulated by MCNP and compared with the uniformity material's. The result shows that the shielding performance of gradient material is more effective than that of the uniformity material, and the difference is most noticeable when the materials are 30 cm thick.

A novel current-type data driver for active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) is proposed for current uniformity enhancement among its output channels. New architecture is composed of shadow DACs that precharge output stages, a single-real DAC that correct the output level to a real target current level and output stages that operate in 3 states of sampling, correcting and driving. Simulation results show that the proposed driving method and circuits improve the current uniformity among output channels of a current-type driver IC.

In this paper, the result of study in artificial lighting uniformity ratio yield method subject to lecture room are reported. It is desirable that the application of equation ① U=Ei/Ex×100 cannot be used to the mean value in place to be effective of light and darkness. And it is desirable that the application of equation ② U=Ei/Ea×100 or equation ③ U=(Ea-Ei)/Ea×100 be used to the mean Value equality illumination conditions. Also, requiring preparation of judgement standard, uniformity ratio equation agree with actual circumstances in this country. It must be considered intensity of illumination and specificity of space in established standard.

A new sheet of back light unit(BLU) to reduce the number of sheets and enhance the optical performances of direct back light unit(BLU) in a liquid crystal display is proposed and designed. In order to improve the straightness and spatial uniformity of brightness of the BLU, we design the new sheet with linear arrays of complicated bar prism by using the fusion of cylindrical lens and bar prism. Then, we investigate and analyze various optical performances of a BLU including the new sheet through an illumination optical system design program. From these results, we determine the optimum geometrical structure of the sheet. Under the optimum condition, the luminance efficiency and spatial uniformity of luminance of the BLU are 53.5% and 83.5% respectively. And the vertical and horizontal widths of the angular luminance distribution are $90^{\circ}$ and $112.5^{\circ}$ respectively. Finally we have fabricated a new BLU sheet according to this design shape by using an ordinary resins.

In this paper, the illuminating optics of asymmetric light distribution was studied, which allowed the light distribution to be uniform even for short-range irradiation on a wide illumination area. In the case of a light installed at a short distance, the light is not diffused enough because of the short irradiation distance. For this reason, it is difficult to satisfy uniformity of illumination. In addition, lighting design for asymmetric distribution is required because the lighting device is installed tilted, for visibility. Therefore, the design of lighting systems with asymmetric light distribution could achieve uniform illumination of the target surface even under short-distance irradiation. This was then applied to the license lamp, a lighting system featuring short light irradiation distance, to confirm that it satisfies the legal standards.

This study was conducted to develop a mass production for a commercial use by germination of 4 kinds of Veronica glabrifolia Kitag., V. pusanensis Y.N.Lee, V. glabrifolia Kitag. × V. Spicata 'Alba' and V. spicata 'Ulster Blue Dwarf × V. longifolia. Veronica L. Effects of dipping time to a disinfecting fluid, light quality, temperature or vermiculite depth on the germination of Veronica L. were examined. Germination percentage in a disinfecting fluid for 120 minutes dipping was the 75.1% for V. pusanensis Y.N.Lee, and was some higher in 60 minutes dipping for all the species, but there was no significant difference according to the dipping time. The germination of the light quality was the best in complex light (red light + blue light) as the germination 92.8%, uniformity 2.3 in Veronica glabrifolia Kitag., or the germination 85.9%, uniformity 3.5 in V. pusanensis Y.N.Lee. And the germination percentage of red light was ranged from 79.1% to 95,5%, the blue light was 83.1% to 100% in the all species. However the germination in the dark condition significantly lowered as a 40.0% to 56.3% or uniformity from 5.2 to 6.5. Like this, the germination of blue light was better compare to the red light. The germination rate according to temperature was higher at 25℃ day/20℃ night ranged from 92.1% to 100%, or at 20℃ day/15℃ night as a 85.5% to 98.9% in the all species, compare to constant temperature 25℃ as a 80.9% in V. pusanensis Y.N.Lee. The germination rate of vermiculite depth was higher in 1 to 2mm ranged from 83.4% to 100%, however when the vermiculite was covered with 4mm, the germination rate significantly decreased from 45.2% to 72.1% and the hypocotyl length became longer above 3cm than that of others.

The optical structure of edge-lit LED backlight has been optimized via simulation study in order to remove bright spots appearing on the entrance region of the light guide plate (LGP) and thus to improve the luminance uniformity. The density of scattering dots located on the back surface of LGP was adjusted according to the location of LED's. In addition, lenticular lenses or a diffuse transmissive surface were formed on the side surface of LGP facing the LED's, and the density of lenticular lenses was optimized for redistributing rays emitted from LED's into wider angles. The bright spots which could be seen from conventional LED backlight were removed by the combination of these two optical structures. The application of diffuse surface to the entrance face gave better uniformity than the application of lenticular lenses. However, dark regions still appear on the entrance region of LGP, which should be removed by more appropriate optical design for achieving better luminance uniformity on the LED backlight.

Parallel combination of cold chathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) are widely used as the light sources of LCD TV backlight. Brightness uniformity is safisfied by using one transformer per one CCFL. Instead of using one transformer per oneCCFL, one transformer is used to drive 8 CCFLs by using differential driving method. A differential driving inverter with two transformers is developed to drive 16 CCFLs of 26' backlight for LCD TV. The brightness uniformity of $88\%$ was obtained by driving 26' backlight with the developed differential driving inverter successfully.

A light guide panel is an element of the LCD backlight module that is often used for the display of compact electronic devices. In this study, a laser marking system is proposed to fabricate light guide panel, which can replace other manufacturing methods such as silk printing, stamping, or v-cutting methods. The objective of this research is to evaluate the process parameters of the laser marking system. Light guide patterns were marked with a 50W $CO_2$ laser (CW) to understand the effects of average power and scanning speed on the geometry and quality of groove pattern. The width of the fabricated grooves increases with increasing laser power and decreasing scan speed. In order to analyze surface characteristics and optical properties (luminance, uniformity), SEM photography and BM7 (luminance measuring system) were used. As a result, the optimal conditions of the process parameters were determined.
