In this study, wavelength-free $1{\times}N$ optical splitter using a tapered polymer waveguide was studied to realize the transmission network of high-speed information communication network. Based on the evaluation of mode converting characteristics of splitter having two tapered multi-mode interference structures, an optimized structure of the $1{\times}N$ splitter was proposed for wide-range of input wavelength. 2D-BPM analysis $1{\times}8$ model showed that insertion loss of the proposed splitter is less than 10 dB for wavelength of input source from 1260 nm to 1650 nm.

Design principles for high-brightness ligh-temitting diodes have been derived by using escape cone concepts. Based on the design principles, some important high-brightness LED structures developed thus far have been reviewed and, in addition, their external coupling efficiencies have also been estimated. In AlGaAs or InGaAIP LEDs, in which photon absorption in the ohmic electrodes is known to be serious, photon shielding by the electrodes is minimized by using window layer (WL) as well as transparent substrate (TS) leading to significantly improved light-emitting efficiency. However, in InGaN LEDs emitting blue to green lights, the photon absorption in ohmic contact to wide bandgap GaN may be negligible and therefore, photon shielding by the electrodes would not lead to as significant problems as in conventional In AIGaAs or InGaAIP LEDs.

In this paper, the method of designing an active inductor for MMIC is proposed. The proposed tunable active inductor is composed of a cascade FET with feedback capacitors and resistors. Because of a very low series resistance in the proposed inductor, a very high Q factor can be obtained. Also it has an excellent characteristics suitable for high frequency band. The inductance value can be changed by controlling feedback capacitors, resistors and a bias voltage respectively. When the feedback resistor and parallel resistor within circuits are varied, the inductance value is changed from 0.2 nH to 1.7 nH in the range 1 to 15 GHz. Also we designed bandpass filter using the proposed active inductor and it shows the insertion loss of 0.4 dB and return loss, 20 dB.

Erasure codes have recently been applied to distributed storage systems due to their high storage efficiency. Regenerating codes are a kind of erasure codes, which are optimal in terms of minimum repair bandwidth. An (n,k,d)-regenerating code consists of n storage nodes where a failed node can be recovered with the help of the exactly d numbers of surviving nodes. However, if node failures occur frequently or network connection is unstable, the number of helper nodes that a failed node can contact may be smaller than d. In such cases, regenerating codes cannot repair the failed nodes efficiently since the node repair process of the codes does not work when the number of helper nodes is less than d. In this paper, we propose an operating method of regenerating codes where a failed node can be repaired from ${\bar{d}}$ helper nodes where $$k{\leq_-}{\bar{d}}{\leq_-}d$$.

Crevices between window and window frame cause not only heat losses but also serve path to sound transmission and infiltration of fine dusts that are harmful to humans. There were many efforts in the past to eliminate these crevices but because of the windows' indispensable function of opening and closing, it was an unsolvable problem. In this study, a new type sliding window is developed by applying horizontally rolling wheels to implement a surface sealing which is excellent for enhancing air tightness. To evaluate the feasibility of the newly developed window, forces for opening and closing, durability and air tightness were testet according to Korean Testing Standards. Force for opening a 2000 N window is 30 N. It endured 100,000 cycles of opening and closing. Infiltration was $0.00m^3/(m^2h)$ for a pressure difference of 10 Pa. Since this window has few moving parts, it has favorable features of low cost and few breakdown.

Gas target chamber has been developed for producing $^{123}I$ which is radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis of thyroid cancer, and modeled how to occur nuclear reaction between chamber and $^{124}Xe$ with energy 30MeV inside the gas target chamber by using the MCNPX. The beam energy was lost as the beam spread when beam hit inside the gas target chamber. The cooling water was used not to change the gas target chamber as loss of energy transfer to the thermal energy. Spiral cooling line was designed for cooling the target chamber efficiently. By using the c30 cyclotron, $^{124}Xe(p,2n)$, $^{124}Xe(p,n)$, $^{124}Xe(p,pn)$ nuclear reactions were studied. In this study, we predict the production yield.

We optimized the Si(substrate)/$SiO_2$(cladding)/$Si_3N_4$(antiresonant cladding)/$SiO_2$(core)/air multi-layers rib-optical waveguides of antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) for integrated optical biosensor structure utilizing beam propagation method (BPM). Thickness of anti-resonant cladding was derived to minimize the propagation loss and leaky field mode deeply related with evanescent mode was theoretically derived. Depth, width, refractive index and cladding thickness of anti-resonant cladding were numerically calculated into 2.3${\mu}m$, 5${\mu}m$, 1.488, and 0.11${\mu}m$ respectively to minimize propagation loss using the BPM simulation tool. Finally one- and two-dimensional propagation characteristics of ARROW was confirmed.

Using single carrier frequency RFID system in one-to-multiple wireless communications, might be generated data loss because of data collisions. Conventional Anti-collision method prevent data loss from data collisions which are binary tree method and ALOHA. However, those two preventive measures also have week points which are strongly dependent on the time and space when passing through the recognition area. This paper suggests the full-length instruction code method which fits in to half-duplex method, prevents data collision effectively by calculating the non-transmitting time of multiple tags considering approaching time to the recognition area. After full-length instruction code method test using 13.56MHz bandwidth RFID system shows that full-length instruction code method could make better result than any other methods. Moreover, the record shows O(n) result after analyzing O-notation of conventional time-domain procedure.

In this study, the experiment conditions for the variation of heat release rate in compartment space were constructed to analyze the effects of fire spread and the operation time of sprinkler in accordance with the heat loss of the sprinkler's heat element. The compartment composed of fire board (width = 0.3 m, height = 0.5 m, length = 3.0 m), are manufactured to measure the temperature distributions in the inner space, the mass loss rate and heat release rate during the experiment of N-heptane pool fire test. Also, the operation time of sprinkler is analyzed with the installation of sprinkler and C-factor using Fire Dynamics Simulator Ver.6 under the experiment conditions. The results show that the operation time of sprinkler, which has RTI $100(m{\cdot}s)^{0.5}$ operating temperature $70^{\circ}C$, is 30 s~60 s for C-factor = 0 and 1, 62 s~92 s for C-factor = 3, and 120 s over for C-factor = 5, respectively.

In this paper, the design of a current integrator for low-voltage, low-power, and high frequency applications using complementary high swing cascode current-mirror is presented. The proposed integrator decreases output current errors due to non-zero input resistance and non-infinite output resistance of the simple current integrator. As a design example, the 3rd order Butterworth lowpass filter is designed by a leapfrog method. Also, we apply the predistortion design method to reduce the magnitude distortion which occurs at a cutoff frequency by the undesirable phase shift of a lossless current integrator. The designed current-mode filter is simulated and examined by SPICE using 0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS n-well process parameters. The simulation results show 20MHz cutoff frequency and 615㎼ power dissipation with a 2V power supply. And the cutoff frequency of the filters can be easily changed by the DC bias current.
