This paper introduces an effective system design method to develop a customer oriented product using a design optimization process and to select a set of critical design paramenters,. The process results in the development of a successful product satisfying customer needs and reducing development risk. The proposed scheme adopted a five step QFD(Quality Function Deployment) in order to extract design parameters from customer needs and evaluated their priority using risk factors for extracted design parameters. In this process we determine critical design parameters and allocate them to subsystem designers. Subsequently design engineers develop and test the product based on these parameters. These design parameters capture the characteristics of customer needs in terms of performance cost and schedule in the process of QFD, The subsequent risk management task ensures the minimum risk approach in the presence of design parameter uncertainty. An application of this approach was demonstrated in the development of weld quality monitoring system. Dominant design parameters affect linearity characteristics of weld defect feature vectors. Therefore it simplifies the algorithm for adopting pattern classification of feature vectors and improves the accuracy of recognition rate of weld defect and the real time response of the defect detection in the performance. Additionally the development cost decreases by using DSP board for low speed because of reducing CPU's load adopting algorithm in classifying weld defects. It also reduces the cost by using the single sensor to measure weld defects. Furthermore the synergy effect derived from the critical design parameters improves the detection rate of weld defects by 15% when compared with the implementation using the non-critical design parameters. It also result in 30% saving in development cost./ The overall results are close to 95% customer level showing the effectiveness of the proposed development approach.

We present a simple and low-cost method to fabricate poly(methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) nanochannels with various shapes by combining the standard optical lithography with a PMMA layer transfer and collapse technique. We utilized PMMA membrane reflowing/collapsing phenomena into microchannels to fabricate nanochannels at both corners of arbitrarily-shaped microchannels. This allows nanochannels with various shapes such as curved nanochannels as well as straight nanochannels to be easily fabricated since the shape of the microchannel determines the shape of the nanochannels. This nanochannel fabrication method is simple, flexible, and low-cost since the standard optical lithography with low-resolution optical masks can be used to fabricate nanoscale channels as small as 100 nm wide with various shapes. Also, the sealing of nanochannels can be naturally achieved while the nanochannels are formed through the polymer layer transfer and collapse.

Tn this paper, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) embedded $BaTiO_3$ MIM capacitors were designed, fabricated, and characterized for low cost organic SOP applications by using 3-D EM simulator and low temperature processes. Size of electrodes and thickness of high dielectric films are optimized for improving the performance characteristics of the proposed embedded MIM capacitors at high frequency regime. The selected thicknesses of the $BaTiO_3$ film are $12{\mu}m$, $16{\mu}m$, and $20{\mu}m$. The fabricated MIM capacitor with dielectric constant of 30 and thickness of $12{\mu}m$ has capacitance density of $21.5p\;F/mm^2$ at 100MHz, maximum quality factor of 37.4 at 300 MHz, a quality factor of 30.9 at 1GHz, self resonant frequency of 5.4 GHz, respectively. The measured capacitances and quality factors are well matched with 3-D EM simulated ones. These embedded capacitors are promising for SOP based advanced electronic systems with various functionality, low cost, small size and volume.

사업장에서 유해가스를 처리하는 스크러버는 처리효율은 높으나 설계가 복잡하고 24시간 펌프를 가동시켜야 하므로 많은 비용이 소모될 수 있다. 따라서, 영세한 사업장에서는 스크러버를 설치하지 않거나 순환펌프의 작동을 중지한 상태로 스크러버를 운용하여 운영비를 최소화하고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 소규모 사업장에서 경제적으로 활용할 수 있는 저비용 고효율 스크러버에 대한 적용방안을 연구하였다. 저비용 고효율 스크러버는 bubble column의 방식을 적용하여 유해화학물질 흡수처리 목적으로 장치를 활용하는 것으로, 이러한 스크러버의 개발을 위하여 실험을 통해 흡수성능을 검토하였으며 특정 조건에서 물리적 조건 변화에 따른 유해가스 흡수효율 변화 및 최적의 적용방안을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 저비용 고효율 스크러버로 유입되는 기체를 어느 정도 처리할 수는 있었으나 처리능력이 저하되는 문제가 발생하여 흡수액 공급을 통해 성능저하를 방지하고 순환량에 따라 일정 수준의 흡수율을 유지할 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 기반으로 최종적으로는 적정 순환시점 및 동결 방지방안을 포함한 저비용 고효율 스크러버의 현장 적용방안을 3가지 방식(type)으로 제시하였다.

This paper presents an innovative design for a low-speed, direct-drive, axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) generator with a coreless stator and rotor that is intended for application to small wind turbine power generation systems. The performance of the generator is evaluated and optimized by means of comprehensive 3D electromagnetic finite element analysis. The main focus of this study is to improve the power output and efficiency of wind power generation by investigating the electromagnetic and structural features of a coreless AFPM generator. The design is validated by comparing the performance achieved with a prototype. The results of our comparison demonstrate that the proposed generator has a number of advantages such as a simpler structure, higher efficiency over a wide range of operating speeds, higher energy yield, lighter weight and better power utilization than conventional machines. It would be possible to manufacture low-cost, axial-flux permanent-magnet generators by further developing the proposed design.

The purpose of this study was to examine influence of home energy cost on housing cost burden of Korean and U.S. monthly renter households in urban areas and to explore influences of household and housing characteristics on their home energy cost burden. Microdata for this research was extracted from the 2011 Korean Household Budget Survey and 2009 American Housing Survey. Monthly renter households in urban areas were initially grouped based on household income, followed by a detailed analysis of housing and home energy cost. Findings are as follows: (1) The maximum ratio of home energy cost to household house hold income in Korea was 49% compared to 83% in the US; (2) Energy cost to income ratio were found to have significant influences on housing cost burden and lower income households' housing cost burden was found more vulnerable to their energy cost; (3) In general, the energy cost burden of low-income renter households in Korea tended to be influenced by household size, the number of household members staying at home during daytime hours and housing unit size. The energy cost burden of low-income renter households in the U.S. tended to be influenced by home structure type, size and age, the householder's age, race, educational attainment, the household size, number of wage earners per household, income, and the number of household members between 7 and 17 years of age.

The need for high-frequency decoupling capacitors to supply the transient current requirements to high-speed devices is ubiquitous in current microelectronics applications. Even though materials and their processes have already been developed in terms of their performances, low manufacturing cost cannot be overemphasized in current microelectronics industry. For this reason, we revisited low cost ceramic filled polymer integrated capacitor. Experiments were performed according to the design of experiment (DOE). The best recipe that has the optimized ratio of material composite was obtained using by response optimizer in Minitab. And also, high-frequency measurements were performed to get frequency dependent data using network analyzer.

The line-of-sight stabilization system is an equipment which is loaded on a vehicle and stabilizes the direction of the line-of-sight of the vision sensor to obtain a not-swayed image in the existence of external disturbances. To obtain accurate Euler angles and angular velocities simultaneously we usually need a control system which uses high-price inertial sensors including Vertical Gyro(VG) or Rate Integrating Gyro(RIG). In this paper, we design and implement a control system of a gimbal, which is a line-of-sight stabilization system using a low-cost mixed algorithm of a rate gyro and an accelerometer instead of a VG and a RIG. In the experiment where we laid the implemented line-of-sight stabilization system on the rate table. we can see the stabilized performance to external disturbances.
