The generation of coherent x-ray beams by using a multi-slit diffraction phenomenon is presented. The mode-confinement conditions in the x-ray waveguide (XWG) needed to obtain single-mode beams are determined. The XWGs are stacked to form an XWG array. The core of the XWG array is used as a slit in an opaque screen, similar to those used for visible light. Diffraction patterns that interfered constructively in the XWG array are investigated based on multi-slit diffraction theory. The irradiance distributions are studied at on observation screen. The FWHM of diffracted x-ray spectra were between $1.67{\times}10^{-4}$ to $3.30{\times}10^{-5}$ radians which lead to a spot-size of a few tens of micrometers on the screen at distance of 1 m. The intensities decrease with increase in the period of the XWG array, i.e. a thicker cladding, due to growth of the higher-order diffraction peaks.

As optical fiber communication grows, the fiber alignment become the focus of industrial attention. This greatly influence the overall production rates for the opto-electric products. We proposed multi-axis nano positioning stage for optical fiber alignment. This device has 3 DOF translation and sub nanometer resolution. This nano stage consist of 3 PZT-driven flexure stages which are stacked parallel. The displacement of it is measured with capacitance gauge and is controlled by computer-embedded main controller. The design process of flexure stage using FEM is proposed and the performance evaluation of this system is verified with experiments.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a wide bandgap semiconductor possessing photochemical stability and thus widely used for photocatalysis. However, enhancing photocatalytic efficiency is still a challenging issue. In general, the efficiency is affected by physio-chemical properties such as crystalline phase, crystallinity, exposed crystal facets, crystallite size, porosity, and surface/bulk defects. Here we propose an alternative approach to enhance the efficiency by studying interfaces between thin TiO2 layers to be stacked; that is, the interfacial phenomena influencing on the formation of porous structures, controlling crystallite sizes and crystallinity. To do so, multi-layered TiO2 thin films were fabricated by using a sol-gel method. Specifically, a single TiO2 thin layer with a thickness range of 20~40 nm was deposited on a silicon wafer and annealed at $600^{\circ}C$. The processing step was repeated up to 6 times. The resulting structures were characterized by conventional electron microscopes, and followed by carrying out photocatalytic performances. The multi-layered TiO2 thin films with enhancing photocatalytic efficiency can be readily applied for bio- and gas sensing devices.

본 논문에서는 GPS(Global positioning System)-Bluetooth-DSRC(Dedicated short range communication) 대역의 신호를 동시에 수신할 수 있는 차량용 이중편파 다중대역 안테나를 적층형으로 설계하였다. 안테나는 다층 구조(Multi-Layer)이고, 유전율이 4.4이고, 두께가 1.6mm 인 FR4-epoxy 기판을 사용하였다. GPS와 DSRC 대역은 원형편파(Circular Polarization) 특성을 가지고, 블루투스 대역은 선형편파(Linear Polarization) 특성을 가지며, 이들 안테나는 단일 프루브 급전하였다. 안테나는 Ansys HFSS v11로 시뮬레이션 하였고, 측정결과와 비교하면서 크기가 $67mm{\times}67mm{\times}4.8mm$인 안테나를 설계하였다. 최적 설계된 안테나는 -10dB 대역폭이 각 대역에서 82MHz, 127MHz, 862MHz로 측정되었고, GPS 및 DSRC 대역의 3dB 축비 대역폭은 12MHz와 112MHz로 시뮬레이션 되었다. 이 결과는 시스템이 요구하는 사양을 만족하고 있음을 확인하였다.

TiN and CrN thin films are among the most used coatings in machine and tool steels. TiN and CrN are deposited by arc ion plating(AIP) method. The AIP method inhibits the reaction by depositing a hard, protective coating on the material surface. In this study, the characteristics of multi-layer(TiN/CrN/TiN(TCT), CrN/TiN/CrN(CTC)) are investigated. For comparison, TiN with the same thickness as the multilayer is formed as a single layer and analyzed. Thin films formed as multilayers are well stacked. The characteristics of micro hardness and corrosion resistance are better than those of single layer TiN. The TiN/CrN peak is confirmed because both TCT and CTC are formed of the same component(TiN, CrN), and the phase is first grown in the (111) direction, which is the growth direction. However, the adhesion and abrasion resistance of the multilayer films are somewhat lower.

Facial expression recognition is an important part in emotional interaction between human and machine. This paper proposes a facial expression recognition approach based on multi-classifier fusion with stacking algorithm. The kappa-error diagram is employed in base-level classifiers selection, which gains insights about which individual classifier has the better recognition performance and how diverse among them to help improve the recognition accuracy rate by fusing the complementary functions. In order to avoid the influence of the chance factor caused by guessing in algorithm evaluation and get more reliable awareness of algorithm performance, kappa and informedness besides accuracy are utilized as measure criteria in the comparison experiments. To verify the effectiveness of our approach, two public databases are used in the experiments. The experiment results show that compared with individual classifier and two other typical ensemble methods, our proposed stacked ensemble system does recognize facial expression more accurately with less standard deviation. It overcomes the individual classifier's bias and achieves more reliable recognition results.

In this study, we present a multi-sensor module for snake robot searching survivors in a narrow space. To this end, we integrated five sensor systems by considering the opinions of the first responders: a gas sensor to detect CO₂ gases from the exhalation of survivors, a CMOS camera to provide the image of survivors, an IR camera to see in the dark & smoky environment, two microphones to detect the voice of survivors, and an IMU to recognize the approximate location and direction of the robot and survivors. Furthermore, we integrated a speaker into the sensor module system to provide a communication channel between the first responders and survivors. To integrated all these mechatronics systems in a small, compact snake head, we optimized the positions of the sensors and designed a stacked structure for the whole system. We also developed a user-friendly GUI to show the information from the proposed sensor systems visually. Experimental results verified the searching function of the proposed sensor module system.

Bi-2223 wire, the first-generation high temperature superconducting (HTS) wire, was successfully commercialized and various electrical machinery and equipment are actively being developed in many countries. Because its critical current is too small to realize the lossless conducting part of electric power system with a HTS wire, multi-HTS paths are used to enlarge the critical current of HTS system. Though the resistance generated in HTS wire by transport current is very small, the difference of it in multi-path is the additional reason which causes the non-uniform current sharing in multi-HTS path except the well known reason, the difference of inductance between each path. In this paper, experimental research on current sharing of multi-strand and multi-stacked HTS wire was implemented. The whole critical current of multi-HTS paths is not equal to sum of critical current of each path because of non-uniform current sharing occurred in this paths. It was verified experimentally that Bi-2223 wires have different resistance generated by same transport current even if they was manufactured in same progress of work. Current sharing phenomenon was affected by difference of resistance and self and mutual inductance.

본 논문에서는 암모니아의 전해 분해를 위한 분리막 반응기의 음극방 및 양극방에서 물의 전해에 따른 암모니아 용액의 pH 변화가 고찰되었으며, 단위 전해 셀이 적층된 다단 전해 반응기에서의 암모니아의 연속식 분해 특성이 평가되었다. 분리막을 가지는 반응기에서 암모니아 용액의 전해 반응 시, 양극에서는 pH가 8 이하에서부터 수소 이온이 생성되는 물 분해 반응이 일어나며, 음극에서는 pH가 11 이상에서부터 수산기 이온이 생성되는 물 분해 반응이 일어나 암모니아 용액의 pH를 변화시켜 암모니아 전해 분해에 영향을 크게 미쳤으며, 음이온 교환막을 사용하는 경우가 양이온 교환막을 사용하는 경우보다 양극방에서 암모니아 분해에 유리한 알카리 분위기를 보다 효과적으로 유지할 수 있었다. 분리막 전해 반응기의 특성을 이용하여 자체 pH 조정 기능을 가지는 연속식 암모니아 전해 반응기가 새롭게 고안하였고, 여기서는 pH-조정조 탱크 용액을 두고 이의 용액 일부를 음극방으로 순환시킴으로써, 양극방으로 주입되는 pH-조정조의 용액의 pH를 높여 암모니아 분해율을 높일 수 있었다. 또한, 그러한 반응기를 이용한 salt-free 연속식 암모니아 전해 분해 공정이 제시되었으며, 이러한 공정에서는 염소 이온을 가지는 암모니아 용액의 80％까지 연속적으로 암모니아를 환경에 무해한 질소로 분해 시킬 수 있었다.
