Two types of baby corn silk detachment systems called fixing and moving baby corn and based on applying frictional force on the silk were developed and evaluated. In the fixing mode the baby corn was fixed on a pin and a hollow frictional cylinder was moved concentrically and vertically along the baby corn towards the branch end. In the moving mode the baby corn was forced vertically towards the tip to pass through the same silk detachment cylinder. Traveling speeds of the detachment cylinder and the baby corn were 44.5 and 166.9 mm/s. In the fixing mode at silk moisture content of 91 % (w.b) silk detachment efficiencies at low and high speeds were 99.1 and 99.2%. The silk detachment efficiencies in the moving mode at low and high speeds were 96.6 and 98.5%. Damaged baby corn at low speed was less than at high speed in both modes. Minimum damage was nil in the fixing mode at low speed and the maximum was 47.5% in the moving mode at high speed. The damaged was due to ovaries r moval at the base near the joint between the baby corn and the branch.

Cracking at low temperatures is one of the frequently observed modes of failure in asphalt concretes. In this investigation, fracture tests were performed on cracked asphalt concrete subjected to pure mode I and pure mode II loading at different subzero temperatures. An improved semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen containing a vertical crack was used to conduct the experiments. The SCB specimens produced from the gyratory compacted cylindrical samples were compressively loaded, and critical stress intensity factors, $K_{If}$ and $K_{IIf}$, were then calculated using peak loads obtained from the tests. The experimental results showed that with decreasing the temperature, mode I and mode II critical stress intensity factors increased first but below a certain temperature they both decreased. It was also found that at a fixed temperature, the mode II fracture resistance of the asphalt concrete was higher than its mode I fracture resistance.

A promising new approach to achieve low pollutants emission and improvement of flame stabilities is tested experimentally using a hybrid cyclone jet combustor employing both premixed and diffusion combustion mode, Three kind of nozzles are used for LNG(Liquified Natural Gas) as a fuel. The combustor is operated by two method, One is ATI(Air Tangential Injection) mode, generated swirl flow by air as general swirl combustor, and the other is PTI(Premixed gas Tangential Injection) mode, The PTI mode consists of diffusion flame of axial direction and premixed cyclone flame of tangential direction in order to stabilized the diffusion flame. The results showed that the stable region of the PTI mode is more larger than the ATI mode. In addition, the reduction of NOx emission in PTI mode, as compared with that for the ATI mode is at least 50% in stable region. Also, even using the low calorific fuel as $CO_2$-blended gas, the cyclone jet combustor has high performance of flame stability.

In this paper, a design of current-mode continuous-time filters for low voltage and low frequency applications using complementary bipolar current mirrors is presented. The proposed current-mode filters consist of simple bipolar current mirrors and capacitors and are quite suitable for monolithic integration. Since the design method of the proposed current-mode filters are based on the integrator type of realization, it can be used for a wide range of applications. Since the input impedance of simple bipolar current mirror is small, in this paper, negative feedback amplifier is used to realize is designed by cascade method. The cutoff frequency of the designed filter can be easily tunable by the DC controlling current from 60kHz to 120kHz. The characteristics of the designed current-mode filters are simulated and examined by SPICE using standard bipolar transistor parameters.

IEEE 802.15.4 is designed for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR_WPAN) and it attempts to provide a low data rate, low power, low cost wireless networking on the device-level communication. In this paper, I have established a realistic environment for the effect of collision in nonbeacon-enabled mode and beacon enabled mode. The data throughput and delivery ratio are investigated as the performance metrics.

As the integrated circuit device shrinks to the deep submicron regime, the ion implantation process with high ion dose has been attracted beyond the conventional ion implantation technology. In particular, for the case of boron ion implantation with low energy and high dose, the stabilization and throughput of semiconductor chip manufacturing are decreasing because of trouble due to the machine conditions and beam turning of ion implanter system. In this paper, we focused to the improved characteristics of processing conditions of ion implantation equipment through the modified deceleration mode. Thus, our modified recipe with low energy and high ion dose can be directly apply in the semiconductor manufacturing process without any degradation of stability and throughput.

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the enhancement effect of low-frequency ultrasound on skin permeation. In vitro permeation experiments were performed using Franz modified diffusion cells with ketoprofen as model drug. The effect of various ultrasound factors-ultrasound application mode (continuous mode and discontinuous mode), ultrasound intensity (0.26 $W/cm^2$, and 0.29 $W/cm^2$) and duty cycle (3%, 16%, 50%, and 83%) were studied. The highest permeation was observed at 0.29 $W/cm^2$ intensity, 50% duty cycle, and discontinuous mode. The result suggested the feasibility of low frequency ultrasound application for the phonophoretic transdermal drug delivery system.

A low-cost BLDC motor with hall sensor is used to drive the position control of a facility security monitoring system in this paper. Low measurable frequency of the hall sensor signal in low-speed regions results in difficulty in obtaining accurate speed detection and position control. To improve system control performance, we propose a variable gain of position controller and stop mode control scheme according to the motor speed and error position with pre-set deceleration time. The proposed stop mode control scheme is activated around the stop position to forcibly move the BLDC motor to the stop position in low speed. In the proposed stop mode, the motor current is controlled by the actual speed with the reference rotating angle. The control performance of the proposed position control is verified through experiments at the actual rail guided facility security monitoring system.

고밀도 helicon wave 플라즈마의 특성 및 이온 에너지 분포에 관하여 연구하였다. Helicon wave에 의하여 고밀도의 플라즈마를 형성시키는 helicon mode와 capacitive field가 지배적이어서 electrostatic 방전이 되어 저밀도의 플라즈마를 형성시키는 low mode가 존재하는 것을 관찰하였다. rf modulation된 플라즈마 전위가 이온 에너지 분석기를 통하여 얻어지는 이온 에너지 분포에 미치는 영향을 이론 및 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 이온 에너지 분포의 분석을 통하여 low mode에서는 플라즈마 전위가 rf 주파수로 Vp-p의 크기로 modulation되는 것을 확인하였다. Helicon mode에서는 inductive field가 capacitive field보다 우세하기 때문에 플라즈마 전위의 rf modulation은 일어나지 않았다.

In this paper, a new continuous-time current-mode integrator as basic building block of the low-voltage analog current-mode active filters was proposed. Compared to the current-mode integrator which was proposed by Zele, the proposed current-mode integrator had higher unity gain frequency and output impedance in addition to lower power dissipation. And also, a current-mode third-order lowpass active filter was designed with the proposed current-mode integrator. The designed circuits were fabricated using the ORBIT's 1.2.mu.m double-poly double-metal CMOS n-well process. The experimental resutls of the active filter designed and fabricated for this research have shown that it has the performance of 44.5MHz cutoff frequency, 3.3mW power dissipation and the third-order active filter area was 0.12mm$^{2}$.
