In this work, we evaluated the characteristics of flow field and uniformity of the nose-only exposure chambers for the inhalation toxicity test. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was carried out to demonstrate uniformity of the nose-only exposure chambers. Because it is very important in the inhalation toxicity experiments that test materials are distributed uniformly to each holder of the chamber. The test was done with these 3 types of chamber with different form to develop inhalation toxicity evaluation system, easy-to-operate system among exposure chamber used for evaluating inhalation toxicity of environmental chemical mixtures. Through CFD interpretation, nose-only exposure chamber was made with the selection of the optimal conditions. For its evaluation, one type of fragrance was selected and measured particle size distribution of each port. The gene becoming luminous to green fluorescence was combined with GPT-SPE, a type of tGFP vector, to be inhaled to the mouse. Based on this, luminous intensity was checked. As a result, total particle number concentration of each port had average value of $3.17{\times}10^6{\sharp}/cm^3$ and range of the highest and lowest concentration value was approximately ${\pm}4.8%$. Autopsy of lung tissues of mouse showed that it had clearly better delivery of gene compared to the control group.

Two types of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different phosphor structures were fabricated and compared in terms of their optical characteristics. Their spectroscopic properties were analyzed as a function of temperature, from room temperature to $80^{\circ}C$. The temperature dependence of the luminance and the color coordinates showed that the decrease in luminance and change in the color coordinates of the remote-phosphor type LED were much smaller compared to the conventional white LED. These improvements were attributed to the decrease in phosphor temperature, due to the distance between the LED chip and the phosphor layer, as well as to the reduced absorption by the LED chip of the light emitted from the phosphor layer.

V-p characteristics and the discharge luminous characteristics in inhomogeneous $SF_6$ gas gap under the positive and negative lightning impulse voltages are presented. The test gap was composed of the plane-to-plane with a needle-shaped protrusion. The applied voltage and the predischarge current were measured by the electric field sensor and the shunt of 50 ${\Omega}$, respectively. The light emission signals were observed by a photomultiplier tube, and a high-speed camera. In a consequence, the dielectric strengths of $SF_6$ gas gap under positive lightning impulse voltages were independent of the gas pressure. In the presence of the positive polarity, the branches of discharge channel were created and the directions of the discharge paths were random. On the other hands, the discharge paths of the negative polarity were more thicker and brighter.

This paper deals with the various sealing conditions in a vacuum and the discharge characteristics. The MgO thin film is prepared by e-beam evaporation method. Sealing process was performed in a vacuum at panel temperature of 430 $^{\circ}C$. We find the cracks on the MgO film surface, which results in higher discharge voltage and lower luminous efficiency. The vacuum in-line sealing technology does not require additional annealing process but induces the MgO cracks because of the high temperature sealing cycle in a vacuum. Therefore we modify the vacuum in-line sealing cycle which the MgO cracks are not found and the good characteristics of plasma displays are found in higher sealing pressure at sealing temperature of 430 $^{\circ}C$.

SrS:Cu, Cl thin films have been grown by the hot wall technique with S furnace placed on the outside of the growth chamber in order to investigate the crystallographic and optical characteristics. The films have a good crystallinity independent of CuCl wall temperature and PL characteristics showed a peak assigned by the transition form $3d^94s^1\;(^3Eg)$ to $3d^{10}\;(^1A_{1g})$ of $Cu^+$ center. It has also been found that. from the PLE spectra, $Cu^+$ luminescent centers are doped in the host materials. The EL emission from SrS:Cu-based device showed a greenish-blue but shifted to short wavelength compared to SrS:Ce-based EL. The device was obtained the maximum luminance of $110cd/m^2$ and the maximum luminous efficiency of $0.1\;lm/W$ at $V_{40}$.

In this paper, we measured the optical characteristics of the electrodeless fluorescent lamp system as product of the inside and outside of the country and compared the measured data. Power consumption wave of domestic 150 W is unstable than it's of Endura 150 W. Optical characteristics(luminance, luminous flux, color rendering index, efficiency, CIE chromaticity coordinate) value of the former is a little small than the latter. In conclusion, if we improve a little more quality then we must secure the superiority in competition.

Thermal spray technology has been used in many industrial application. Especially, thermal spray coating have been employed with the purposes of achieving better resistances in abrasion, heat and corrosion. In the previous studies on the thermal spray coating, thermal spray characteristics from the perspective of combustion engineering have not been investigated sufficiently, while the material characteristics of the coated substrates have been investigated widely. In this study, the effect of spray particles on the flame behavior was experimentally investigated. The amount of the injected particles was measured using the light scattering method and the temperature of the particles was estimated using a two-color method. Various flame-spray interactions were observed and it was found that the high temperature zone near the flame is elongated by particles density. Based on these results, the applicability of the light scattering method and the two-color method was discussed.

The effects of various sustain waveforms on the discharge characteristics, such as discharge current waveform, IR waveform, luminance, luminous efficiency, power consumption, and static margin are investigated under high Xe (20%) gas mixture at 200 kHz. The four types of sustain waveforms, such as non-overlapped sustain waveform without auxiliary pulse, non-overlapped sustain waveform with auxiliary pulse, overlapped sustain waveform without auxiliary pulse, overlapped sustain waveform with auxiliary pulse, are examined intensively. As a result, the overlapped sustain waveform with auxiliary pulse shows the best discharge characteristics under high Xe (20%) gas mixture at 200 kHz.

This paper presents the experimental results on breakdown characteristics in $N_2$ gas under non-uniform electric fields caused by both the positive and negative lightning impulse voltages. $N_2$ gas have an advantage of eco-friendly and cost reduction, and safety aspects. In order to analyze the impulse pre-breakdown processes in $N_2$ gas, we carried out measurements and observations of the impulse breakdown voltages, pre-breakdown current and luminous signals. They were measured by a voltage divider, a shunt and a photo-multiplier tube, respectively. Additionally, the characteristics of discharge channels were observed by high speed cameras. The breakdown voltages in the positive polarity was lower than those in the negative polarity.

The present study deals with the unique characteristics of hydrogen jet diffusion flames, such as split flames and reignition phenomenon. The split flames are composed of a small flamelet on the nozzle rim and a lifted main flame at downstream. When mass flow rates of fuel reach a critical point, a small-sized flamelet is found to remain in the vicinity of the nozzle exit and the flame reignition subsequent to blowout of main flame occurs repeatedly. In this study, the non-luminous hydrogen jet diffusion flames are visualized by using schlieren technique in order to analyze the combustion characteristics of hydrogen jet diffusion flames with focus on the flame reignition phenomenon.
