진공챔버는 진공게이지 교정, 산업에서의 재료처리 등 여러 가지 다양한 용도에 맞게 적용이 가능하다. 이 진공챔버 내부에서 가스가 유입되는 과정에서의 진공도는 일정하게 유지하기가 힘들다. 산업체 응용에서뿐만 아니라 연구과정에서도 진공챔버 내부에 가스가 유입되는 동안의 내부압력분포와 최대도달 평형압력을 아는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 진공챔버 내부의 압력 불균형을 감소시키기 위해서 가스 주입구 부분에 baffle을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 현재 지속적인 기체흐름이 있는 진공챔버 내부의 기체흐름의 작용에 관해 0.1 Pa~133 Pa 영역에서 불규칙한 압력을 최소화하기 위한 baffle plate의 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 최대편차는 가스 주입구 부분에서 나타나는 압력으로 baffle plate가 전환흐름영역에서 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

A vacuum ladling die casting system is suggested as a means to obtain a high vacuum level. A high vacuum of 17.8 mmHg is obtained by sealing the inner space of the mould. The sample product is a rear-head housing for an auto-compressor, and the die-casting with 6-cavities was conducted. The flow analysis shows that the filling speed during vacuum ladling is faster than for a non-vacuum system. The air holes in the sample product were too small to be seen with the naked eye in X-ray films. Density tests show that the high vacuum ladling system reduces the internal porosity as much as 57.8% when compared to the non-vacuum system. A defective rate of only 0.17% was found from leak testing. The results of this research prove that the high vacuum die-casting process is useful for manufacturing of aluminium components under high internal pressure.

굴을 대상으로 조미 양념 젓갈(salt-fermented oyster)과 전통적인 게장의 제조법을 이용한 젓갈 제품(oyster in soy sauce)으로 새로운 형태의 젓갈을 제조하여 각각 진공 및 무진공 상태로 저장하면서 숙성 형태별 숙성 기간에 따른 이화학적 성분의 변화를 살펴 보았다. 굴 젓갈에 있어서 pH는 숙성 기간이 경과함에 따라 점차 감소했으나, 아미노태 질소(AN)와 휘발성 염기 질소(VBN)는 반대로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 함량에 있어서는 AN의 경우 진공 숙성시에, VBN은 무진공 숙성시에 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 총균수는 어느 정도 증가했다가 감소하는 경향은 비슷하나 진공 숙성에 비해 무진공 숙성시에 더 현저하였다. 총 구성 아미노산에 있어서는 숙성이 진행됨에 따라 진공의 경우 함량이 증가했거나 감소한 경우라도 무진공 숙성시에 비해 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때,무진공 숙성시보다 진공 숙성시 숙성이 지연되는 것으로 보여지며, 숙성 지연으로 인한 젓갈의 품질 유지 기간의 연장에도 진공 숙성이 효과적이라고 사료되었다.

A vacuum chamber for a commercial atomic force microscope (AFM) is designed and fabricated. Only minimal modifications were made to an existing microscope in an effort to work in a vacuum environment, while most of the available AFM functionalities were kept intact. The optical alignment needed for proper AFM operations including a SLD (superluminescent diode) and a photodiode can be made externally without breaking the vacuum. A vacuum level of $5{\times}10^{-3}$ torr was achieved with a mechanical pump. An enhancement of the quality factor was observed along with a shift in the resonance frequency of a non-contact-mode cantilever in a vacuum. Topographical data of a calibration sample were also obtained in air and in a low vacuum using the non-contact mode and the results were compared.

Inorganic semiconductor compounds, e.g., CIGS and CZTS, are promising materials for thin film solar cells because of their high light absorption coefficient and stability. Research on thin film solar cells using this compound has made remarkable progress in the last two decades. Vacuum-based processes, e.g., co-evaporation and sputtering, are well established to obtain high-efficiency CIGS and/or CZTS thin film solar cells with over 20 % of power conversion. However, because the vacuum-based processes need high cost equipment, they pose technological barriers to producing low-cost and large area photovoltaic cells. Recently, non-vacuum based processes, for example the solution/nanoparticle precursor process, the electrodeposition method, or the polymer-capped precursors process, have been intensively studied to reduce capital expenditure. Lately, over 17 % of energy conversion efficiency has been reported by solution precursors methods in CIGS solar cells. This article reviews the status of non-vacuum techniques that are used to fabricate CIGS and CZTS thin films solar cells.

This study has been carried out to investigate the effect of vacuum on the thermal performance of a nonglass evacuated tube. A series of measurements are made indoors to monitor the temperature change of the absorber plate contained in the evacuated tube under different conditions of vacuum and heat fluxes. Those temperatures measured at the thermal equilibrium could be used to assess the heat losses to the ambient in link with the steady operation of non-glass evacuated tubes for solar exploitation.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare 1-year clinical outcomes between patients who underwent a Nuss operation or vacuum bell therapy and to present vacuum bell therapy as a possible alternative treatment modality for patients who prefer non-surgical correction of pectus excavatum. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of pectus excavatum patients who had undergone vacuum bell therapy for more than 1 year and examined patients who had undergone Nuss bar removal more than 1 year previously. The treatment outcomes were evaluated by comparing changes in the Haller index before and after treatment in both patient groups. Results: We included 57 patients in this study and divided them into 2 groups according to the type of treatment received. Both groups showed no significant difference in the post-treatment Haller index after 1 year of follow-up, although the Nuss operation group showed a greater change in the Haller index than the vacuum bell group. Conclusion: Although the Nuss operation is a well-established and effective treatment of choice to correct pectus excavatum, vacuum bell therapy showed comparable outcomes and could become an alternative treatment modality for select patients who prefer non-invasive treatment.
