In this study, we designed, measured, and analyzed a rearranged L-shape magnetic resonance coupling wireless power transfer (MR-WPT) system for practical applications with laptops. The typical four resonator MR-WPT (Tx part: source loop and Tx coil; Rx part: Rx coil and load loop) is difficult to apply to small-sized stationary and mobile applications, such as laptop computers, tablet-PCs, and smartphones, owing to the large volume of the Rx part and the spatial restrictions of the Tx and Rx coils. Therefore, an L-shape structure, which is the orthogonal arrangement of the Tx and Rx parts, is proposed for indoor environment applications, such as at an L-shaped wall or desk. The relatively large Tx part and Rx coil can be installed in the wall and the desk, respectively, while the load loop is embedded in the small stationary or mobile devices. The transfer efficiency (TE) of the proposed system was measured according to the transfer distance (TD) and the misaligned locations of the load loop. In addition, we measured the TE in the active/non-active state and monitor-open/closed state of the laptop computer. The overall highest TE of the L-shape MR-WPT was 61.43% at 45 cm TD, and the TE decreased to 27.9% in the active and monitor-open state of the laptop computer. The conductive ground plane has a much higher impact on the performance when compared to the impact of the active/non-active states. We verified the characteristics and practical benefits of the proposed L-shape MR-WPT compared to the typical MR-WPT for applications to L-shaped corners.

Due to their high sensitivity, fast response, small energy consumption and ease of integration, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) have attracted much interest in various applications such as high speed memory devices, energy harvesting devices, frequency tunable RF receivers, and ultra sensitive mass sensors. Since the device performance of NEMS is closely related with the mechanical and flexural properties of the material in NEMS, analysis of the mechanical and flexural properties such as intrinsic tensile stress and Young's modulus is a crucial factor for designing the NEMS structures. In the present work, the intrinsic mechanical properties of highly stressed silicon nitride (SiN) beams are investigated as a function of the beam length using two different techniques: (i) dynamic flexural measurement using optical interferometry and (ii) quasi-static flexural measurement using atomic force microscopy. The reliability of the results is analysed by comparing the results from the two different measurement techniques. In addition, the mass density, Young's modulus and internal stress of the SiN beams are estimated by combining the techniques, and the prospect of SiN based NEMS for application in high sensitive mass sensors is discussed.

30 ㎑의 초음파 (ultrasonic wave)의 미세 진동에 의해서 유도된 음향유동 (acoustic streaming)에 의한 공기대류를 이용한 새로운 냉각방법을 소개한다. 초음파 진동은 압전소자 (piezoelectric device)에 의해서 얻어지며 50 m 정도의 진동진폭을 얻기 위해 기계적 진동 증폭자인 혼 (horn)을 추가하여 전체 진동 시스템이 공진하도록 구성된다. 음향유동에 의한 열전달 효과의 상승을 측정하기 위해 열원 (heat source) 및 열원 주위의 대기의 온도변화를 실시간으로 측정하였다. 초음파 진동 시작 후 시간지연 없이 음향유동이 유도되어 진동자 주위의 대량의 공기유동으로 인한 급격한 온도감소가 관찰되었다. 또한 열원과 진동자와의 거리가 방사 (radiation)되는 음파 (sound wave)의 반파장 (half wave length)의 정배수가 될 때 열원의 냉각효과가 극대화됨을 실험적으로 관찰하였다. 이는 음파의 공진현상에 기인한 것으로 이론적 고찰을 통한 검증 또한 수행되었다. 음향유동을 이용한 냉각법의 장점은 초음파 진동을 이용하기 때문에 무소음이며 이동 형태의 부품이 없기 때문에 반영구적으로 사용할 수 있다. 또한 기존의 전기모터를 이용한 냉각팬 (cooling fan)으로는 냉각이 어려운 초소형 기전시스템 (MEMS)의 냉각법으로 사용될 수 있는 첨단 냉각방법이다.
