The performance of interrupted cutting operations like milling is consideraly affected by cuter runout. In this study, cutter runout is selected as an important machining parameter for evaluation of machinability in ball-end milling and caused from misalignments of tool and holder, unbalanced mass of parts and tool deflection under machining. To evaluate the machinability due to cutter runout, the rotating accuracy of spindle, cutting force and surface roughness are measured. The rotating characteristics of spindle in each revolution speed were investigated by cutter runout in freeload. The predicted surface form of workpiece by measuring cutter runout data was compared with real surfaces. The results show that measuring runout with high response gap sensor is useful for studying the phenomenon of high-speed machining and the monitor surface form using in-process runout measurements in ball-end milling is possible.

The research results on the superconducting magnet for whole body MRI are presented. The magnet consists of main coil with 6 solenoid coils, shielding coil with 2 solenoid coils and 6 sets of cryogenic shim coil. The ferromagnetic shim assembly is installed on the inside wall of the room temperature bore for shimming inhomogeneous field components generated due to manufacturing tolerances, installation misalignments and external ferromagnetic materials near the magnet. Also, the magnet is enclosed with the horizontal type cryostat with 80cm room temperature bore to keep the magnet under the operating temperature. The magnetic field distributions within the imaging volume were measured by the NMR field mapping system. Through the test, the central field of magnet was 1.5 Tesla and the field homogeneity of 9.3 ppm has been obtained on 40cm DSV(the diameter of spherical volume) and using this magnet, comparatively good images for human body, fruits and water phantoms have been achieved.

We propose a novel calibration method which can be applied to all kinds of panel-type multi-view displays. We analyze how the angular, the axial, and the lateral misalignment affects the 3D image quality in a panel-type multi-view display. We demonstrate the ray optics simulation with a 3-view slanted parallax barrier system using pentile display for the quantitative calculation. Based on the analysis, we propose a new alignment pattern for all kinds of panel-type multi-view displays. The proposed pattern is sensitive to all of the angular, the axial, and the lateral misalignments. The high spatial frequency images and on and off alignment in the proposed pattern help observers to calibrate the system easily. We theoretically show the generality of the proposed alignment pattern and verify the pattern with image simulations and experiments.

This study aims to grasp invisible yet dynamic systemic structure that influences the general procedure of national R＆D investment system in Korea using "system dynamic methods and to suggest policy lever. Various conflicting situations, 'R＆D investment paradoxes' in myopia investment and principal-agent problems etc, arise when the government decides R＆D investment area and makes indispensable choice. Difficulty in the decision can be amplified due to misalignments among decision on adequate amount of R＆D investment ("strategic loop"), R＆D system ("structural loop") and acceptance and realization by R＆D laboratories and theirs researcher ("efficacy loop"). Results of modeling and simulation of korea national R＆D investment system with consideration of three causal loops show the switching pattern dynamically, in which form of technologies shifts from one to another stage like paradigm shift, when the R＆D investment reaches a certain stork. R＆D investment increases are directly not liked to R＆D productivities because of delays and side effects during transition periods between different stages of technology development. Thus, It is necessary to develope strategies in order to enhance efficiency of technological development process by perceiving the switching pattern.

The temperature field of a counterflow non-premixed flame is investigated using thermocouples of two sizes. A thermal balance is performed on the thermocouple in order to calculate the magnitude of the radiation corrections involved. Both the thermocouple wire and bead are separately considered to be the relevant thermal surface to which convective heat transfer takes place, and from which radiation lasses occur. The flame is also simulated by using a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism in a previously developed computer code. The local thermo-physical properties of the gas mixture, required to calculate the corrections, are determined both from the simulation, and by approximating the properties of the mixture as those of molecular nitrogen at the measured temperatures. It is concluded that the thermocouple wire is the appropriate thermal surface to which radiation corrections apply, in the absence of information about the gas mixture, its properties can be reasonably approximated by those of nitrogen rm ($N_2$), and the radiation corrections are very sensitive to misalignments in the temperature and velocity fields.

An approach to improve the performance of SDINS and GPS integrated system for bank-to-turn flight vehicles is described. Then, it is shown through the simulation that a specific gyro misalignment error results in an increased heading error of SDINS. A new modelling method is presented herein for identifying of sensor and attitude error. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it not only estimates the gyro misalignment error of SDINS, but also improves estimate performance of heading error of SDINS in the presence of the gyro misalignments.

We present an one-axis parallel-plate type of bulk micromachined torsional micromirror array with single crystalline silicon (SCS) fabricated on the glass substrate. Structurally, bottom electrodes (amophous silicon) in this mirror are DRIEed along the aluminum mirror patterns on SCS, which are self-aligned with mirror plates. Tracing the history of the micromirror study, we found that few papers have been published on research for uniform driving voltages based upon the tilting direction. If there is a slight misalignment during anodic bonding between top (mirror plate) and bottom electrodes, the non-uniformity of driving voltage will be led depending on two different tilting direction. This paper discusses how much the pull-in voltages can be different due to misalignment between two electrodes. Moreover, We achieve uniform pull-in voltage regardless of misalignments in photolithography and anodic-bonding between two individual layers.

In magnetically coupled resonant (MCR) wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, the introduction of additional intermediate coils is an effective means of improving transmission characteristics, including output power and transmission efficiency, when the transmission distance is increased. However, the position of intermediate coils in practice influences system performance significantly. In this research, a three-coil MCR WPT system is adopted as an exemplification for determining how the spatial position of coils affects transmission characteristics. With use of the fundamental harmonic analysis method, an equivalent circuit model of the system is built to reveal the relationship between the output power, the transmission efficiency, and the spatial scales, including the axial, lateral, and angular misalignments of the intermediate and receiving coils. Three cases of transmission characteristics versus different spatial scales are evaluated. Results indicate that the system can achieve relatively stable transmission characteristics with deliberate adjustments in the position of the intermediate and receiving coils. A prototype of the three-coil MCR WPT system is built and analyzed, and the experimental results are consistent with those of the theoretical analysis.

Background and Objectives To evaluate the rotational stability of AcrySof toric intraocular lenses (IOL) by considering lapse of postoperative time and influence of capsulorhexis contraction. Materials and Methods A prospective, masked, single center study was conducted on 19 patients who had undergone microcoaxial cataract surgery and AcrySof toric IOL implantation. Slit-lamp retroillumination photographs of anterior segments were obtained from all patients after 1 week, 1 month and 3 months post-surgery. The degree of alteration of the postoperative IOL axis alignment and the amount of anterior capsular shrinkage were analyzed using Adobe Photoshop software. Results The mean degree of toric IOL axis misalignment was 2.18 (±20.2) degrees at 3 months follow-up. Quadrant analysis of the capsulorhexis aperture area at 1 week and 1 month post-operative, showed counterclockwise IOL rotation when the capsule contraction was dominant in the haptic part as well as clockwise rotation when dominant in the non-haptic part (p = 0.015). Conclusion The direction and degree of AcrySof toric IOL rotation differed throughout the follow-up period. Since most misalignments were found on the first post-operative day, physicians should try to minimize peri-operative risk factors that influence IOL rotation. There was also a correlation between the part of anterior capsule contraction and the direction of IOL rotation.

In this paper, we describe a self-aligned fabrication method for a nano-patterned bottom electrode using flood exposure from the backside. Misalignments between layers could cause the final devices to fail after the fabrication of the nano-scale bottom electrodes. A self-alignment was exploited to embed the bottom electrode inside the glass substrate. Aluminum patterns act as a dry etching mask to fabricate glass trenches as well as a self-aligned photomask during the flood exposure from the backside. The patterned photoresist (PR) has a negative sidewall slope using the flood exposure. The sidewall slopes of the glass trench and the patterned PR were $54.00^{\circ}$ and $63.47^{\circ}$, respectively. The negative sidewall enables an embedment of a gold layer inside $0.7{\mu}m$ wide glass trenches. Gold residues on the trench edges were removed by the additional flood exposure with wet etching. The sidewall slopes of the patterned PR are related to the slopes of the glass trenches. Nano-scale bottom electrodes inside the glass trenches will be used in beam resonators operating at high resonant frequencies.
