  • Combustion of refuse derived fuel(RDF) and refuse plastic fuel (RPF) was carried out in a lab-scale circulating fluidized bed. Experiment was investigated cold flow visualization. RDF was made by C & tech and RPF was made by KRS. The results include distribution of temperature in the combustion chamber, and concentrations of flue gas such as $O_2$, $CO_2$, CO, $NO_x$ and HCs Micro G.C(gas chromatograph) was employed to find out concentration of He Temperature distribution was different when RDF and RPF were burnt respectably. As air ratio became increased, $CO_2$, CO, and total of HCs emissions were decreased. According to the number of carbon atom of HCs, HC were classified as five kinds of HC.

  • Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder, characterized by varying or persistent hyperglycemia, which induces several changes in the erythrocyte membrane and its cytoplasm, leading to alteration in the deformability. Techniques applied to measure this are based on filtration of erythrocyte suspension through a membrane and to obtain diffraction pattern under sheared conditions. Ektacytometry requiring less quantity of blood with disposable flow chamber used to measure the deformability of erythrocytes obtained from patients with diabetes and also associated with nephropathy and retinopathy. A decreasing trend of deformability in these patients is observed. The shape parameter form factor, as determined by image processing procedure, increases with the increased of blood glucose levels and shows a pattern similar to filtration time of erythrocyte suspensions through cellulose membranes. Further work is suggested to detect micro-level changes in cell membrane in diabetic patients

  • We have fabricated an in situ ellipsometer operating at He-Ne wavelength. It can be applied to the real-time, in-situ tracking of the ellisometric change which occurs during various sample treatments. As a rotating analyzer type, all optical elements and related parts are designed to share a common hollow-axis configuration, and hence the ellipsometer is compact in shape and simple in design. It is mountable on the spare ports of vacuum chamber with ease. Using this ellipsometer, we observed the effective density variation of previously grown $TiO_2$ thin films by using electron beam evaporation. The packing density of the as-grown film was 82%. When exposed to atomsphere, the micro-void of the film was filled with water vapor. This water-filled $TiO_2$ thin film was subject to heating/cooling cycles in vacuum and the ellipsometric variation versus temperature and cycling number was measured in real time using this in situ He-Ne ellipsometer.

  • This paper reports the design, modeling, fabrication and measurement of passive microvalves, which are applicable to glaucoma implants. The proposed microvalves were designed using fluidic theory. The microvalves consisted of microchannels and chambers. The microchannels had a constant fluidic resistance generating a pressure difference. Six kinds of microvalves were designed using fluidic equations for laminar flow and fabricated to examine the influences of chamber size, channel length and the shape of channel cross section. The pressure difference between the designed microvalve and the fabricated microvalve was measured to be less than 4%.

  • The aim of presentation is to obtain the beam parameters for tratment planning of steretactic radiosurgery. The dosimerical parameters such as TMR, scatter factor, and OAR was measured using diode, film, micro ion chamber, and thimble chanber for water phantom scanning. The results were compared each other. As a result, we determined OAR from film and scatter factor and TMR from diode as a basic data for treatment planning.

  • In linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery, assuring the quality of the planning and delivery of external photon beam requires accurate evaluation of beam parameters, usually including output factors, tissue-phantom ratio and off-axis ratios, and measurement of actual dose distributions from simulated treatment. We're going to test the use of calibrated radio chromic film (Gafchromic film; type MD-55, Nuclear associate) using a Lumiscan 75 digitizer to measure absolute dose and relative dose distributions for linac-based radiosurgery unit Relative dose distribution of a human-style spherical acryl phantom were measured using radiochromic film and calculated by treatment planning system. The absolute dose at the sphere center was measured by radiochromic film and micro chamber (Exradin A-14, 0.009cc). What we want to demonstrate in this work, the 'well selected' radiochromic films when external photon beam are used in linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery are very accurate detector for dosimetry.

  • Recently, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the biggest threats to healthy society. Current medical AD diagnosis depends on interviews and the molecular neuroimaging. There is no cure for the disease, which worsens as it progresses, and eventually leads to death. Amyloid ${\beta}$ and Tau-meditated neuronal injury and dysfunction are candidates of biomarker for AD diagnosis using blood. For highly sensitive and selective biosensor platform, interdigitated microelectrodes (IMEs) sensor was prepared with micro fabrication process and Amyloid ${\beta}$ antibody. Amyloid ${\beta}$ concentration of 1, 10, 100, and 1000 pg/mL was injected in reaction chamber with IME sensors, impedance and conductance of IMEs changed respectively. These results show our newly proposed IMEs sensor can be usefully utilized for AD early diagnosis.

  • A testing system was developed to improve the reliability of printhead and several printheads were tested. We developed a thermally driven monolithic inkjet printhead comprising dome-shaped ink chambers, thin film nozzle guides, and omega-shaped heaters integrated on the top surface of each chamber. To perform a fatigue test of an inkjet printhead, the testing system automatically detects a heating failure using a Wheatstone bridge circuit. Various models were designed and tested to develop a more reliable printhead. Two design parameters of the width of reinforcing layer and heater were investigated in the test. Specially., the reinforcing layer was introduced to improve the fatigue life of printhead. The life-span of heater with a reinforcing layer was longer than that without a reinforcing layer. The wider the heater was, the longer the life of printhead was.

  • Many research works have been carried out to investigate the factors governing the performance of diesel engine. The area of the study has been focused on reducing both of NOx and smoke because of many difficulties to reduce them simultaneously in diesel engines. One of the efforts is an application of EGR technology to reduce NOx emission, which is very effective, but increases other emissions and makes fuel economy worse. In order to solve the problem, EGR is employed with water emulsified fuel and tested in this paper. Emulsified fuel is produced by centrifugal mixer and the amount of water is controlled by water injector and pulse generator, and EGR rate is controlled with 6-step control valve. The chamber pressure, fuel consumption and emissions are measured with various values of both EGR and water mixing rate, The results show that NOx emission is reduced much rather and smoke is also reduced simultaneously.
