As mechanical components are miniaturized, the demand on micro die and mold is increasing. Micro mechanical components usually have high hardness and good conductivity. So micro electrical discharge machining (MEDM) is an effective way to machine those components. In micro cavity fabrication using MEDM, it is observed that the bottom surface of cavity is distorted. Electric charges tend to be concentrated at the sharp edge. At the center of the bottom surface, debris can not be drawn off easily. These two phenomena make the bottom surface of the electrode and workpiece distort. As machining depth increases, the distorted shape of electrode approaches hemisphere. This process is affected by capacitance and the size of electrode. By using a smaller electrode than the desired cavity size and appropriate tool movement, bottom shape distortion can be prevented.

In this paper, fully embedded and miniaturized diplexer device has been developed and characterized for dual-band/mode CDMA handset applications. The size of the embedded diplexer is significantly reduced by embedding high Q circular spiral inductors and high DK MIM capacitors into a low cost organic package substrate. The fabricated diplexer has insertion losses and isolations of -0.5 and -23 dB at 824-894 MHz and -0.7 and -22 dB at 1850-1990 MHz, respectively. Its size is $3.9mm{\times}3.9mm{\times}0.77mm$. The fabricated diplexer is the smallest one which is fully embedded into a low cost organic package substrate.

In this paper, a low-csst ECG system using a digital filter was implemented. After amplifying the analog ECG signal, it is converted into a digital signal and filtered. The developed ECG module is miniaturized by removing the analog filter element that occupies the existing volume and replacing it with a digital filter using a 3-stage Butterworth filter which is one of IIR filters. It uses a serial monitoring program with C# to check and save the ECG waveform measured on a computer screen. The ECG system using a developed digital filter in this paper uses a low-cost processor instead of an expensive, high-end processor, and its size and price are reduced by converting the analog filter to a digital filter. In addition, since the waveform of the developed ECG system is similar to the actual ECG waveform of MIT-BIU, it is considered that the existing analog filter can be replaced with the developed digital filter.

안테나를 소형화하는 기법에는 많은 접근 방법들이 있다. 본 논문에서는 안테나에 집중소자를 이용한 정합회로를 통하여 안테나의 소형화를 시도하였다. 안테나의 크기의 큰 영향을 주는 그라운드를 PCB 회로 기판과 공유함으로써 형상적인 크기를 최소화하도록 시도하였으며, 안테나의 급전부에 고주파용 집중소자를 이용한 매칭회로를 구성하여 안테나의 임피던스 정합특성을 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 안테나는 공진주파수의 파장에 비해 매우 작은 크기인 $7\;{\times}\;24\;mm$로 제작되었으며, 860 MHz 대역에서 -18 dB의 반사특성을 보이며 Z-Wave 시스템에 적용가능성을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 크로스 개구결합 급전 구조의 소형 GPS 단말기용 안테나를 소형화하기 위해 대칭적인 4개의 T-슬릿이 방사 패치에 부설되었다. 부설된 슬릿 주위에 표면 전류 경로의 증가는 등가적인 인덕턴스 성분을 유기하고 공진형 안테나의 저차 모드의 공진 주파수를 낮추어 안테나의 소형화 특성을 개선함을 확인하였다 슬릿 부설에 따른 공진 주파수는 2.545GHz에서 1.575GHz로 약 44.65%까지 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 안테나 소형화를 위해 부설된 슬릿이 원편파 기본 동작 모드에 미치는 영향을 법선 전기장 성분을 통해 확인하였다. 측정된 안테나의 임피던스 대역폭(VSWR≤2)과 3dB 축비 대역폭은 21MHz와 19MHz로 양호한 특성을 나타내었다.

As the development of an information technique, gradually, mobile device is going to be miniaturized and operates at high speed. By such the requirements, the devices using a flash memory as a storage media are increasing. The flash memory consumes low power, is a small size, and has a fast access time like the main memory. But the flash memory must erase for recording and the erase cycle is limited. JFFS is a representative filesystem which reflects the characteristics of the flash memory. JFFS to be consisted of LSF structure, writes new data to the flash memory in sequential, which is not related to a file size. Mounting a filesystem or an error recovery is achieved through the sequential approach. Therefore, the mounting delay time is happened according to the file system size. This paper proposes a MJFFS to use a multi-checkpoint information to manage a mass flash file system efficiently. A MJFFS, which improves JFFS, divides a flash memory into the block for suitable to the block device, and stores file information of a checkpoint structure at fixed interval. Therefore mounting and error recovery processing reduce efficiently a number of filesystem access by collecting a smaller checkpoint information than capacity of actual files. A MJFFS will be suitable to a mobile device owing to accomplish fast mounting and error recovery using advantage of log foundation filesystem and overcoming defect of JFFS.

This paper presents a compact structure composed of an upper high-impedance transmission line, a middle extended parallel coupled line, and a pair of inter-coupled symmetrical stepped impedance stubs. Detailed investigation into this structure based on an equivalent circuit analysis reveals that this proposed structure exhibits a quasi-elliptic low-pass filtering response with three transmission zeros. Moreover, the positions of the three transmission zeros can be tuned and reallocated flexibly by choosing the proper circuit parameters. Finally, the design concept is validated through the design, fabrication, and measurement of two exemplary low-pass filters (LPFs) with one single unit and two cascaded asymmetric units. The measured results agree well with the simulated results. In addition, in the range of $1.42f_c$ to $7.03f_c$, the fabricated quasi-elliptic LPFs experimentally demonstrate a very wide upper-stopband of 20 dB using a compact size of only $0.0089{\lambda}_g{^2}$, where ${\lambda}_g$ is the guided wavelength of a $50{\Omega}$ transmission line at the central frequency.

A micro electromagnetic actuator with high vibration efficiency is proposed for use in an implantable hearing device. The actuator, which can be implanted in the middle ear, consists of membranes based on the stainless steel 304 (SUS-304), and other components. In conventional actuators, in which a thick membrane and a silicone elastomer are used, the size reduction was difficult. In order to miniaturize the size of the actuator, it is necessary to reduce the size of the actuation potion that generates the driving force, resulting in reduction of the electromagnetic force. In this paper, the electromagnetic actuator is further miniaturized by the metal membrane and the vibration amplitude is also optimized. The actuator designed according to the simulation results was fabricated by using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. In particular, a $20{\mu}m$ thick metal membrane was fabricated using the erosion process, which reduced the length of the actuator by more than $400{\mu}m$. In the experiments, the vibration displacement characteristics of the optimized actuator were above 400 nm within the range of 0.1 to 1 kHz when a current of $1mA_{rms}$ was applied to the coil.
