In onshore and offshore plant engineering, a broad use of pipe system have been achieved and accordingly related technologies has been developed especially in the field of flow control valves. The aim of this study is to suggest the quadruple offset butterfly valve for bi-directional applications which show equivalent operating torque characteristics of the triple offset butterfly valve. Seat design parameters for the quadruple offset butterfly valve are determined by the proposed method utilizing both ANOVA (analysis of variance) and the orthogonal array. Through additive model considering the effect of design parameters on seating torque, mean estimation is performed and thus its optimization results are verified by design of experiment results. The insight obtained from the present study is beneficial for valve design engineers to develop reliable and integrated design of the quadruple offset butterfly valve.

In the present study, a recuperator is suggested to improve the thermal efficiency of a micro gas turbine. Primary design parameters of the recuperator are determined from the ideal cycle analysis. The counter flow plate-fin heat exchanger with offset strip fins is chosen as the type of the recuperator. In order to satisfy the design constraints which are the minimum effectiveness and the maximum pressure drop, the optimization for the internal structure of the recuperator is performed with varying the fin spacing and the fin height of offset strip fins. Also the effects of the thermal conductivity of fins and separation plates and the longitudinal heat conduction on the thermal performance of the recuperator are investigated.

This paper presents the optimization technique to analyze the effect of the design parameters of rapid prototyping system for human brain model fabrication. The optimization method considers the functional relationships among the design parameters such as thickness gap, shrink rate, and laser speed that govern the operation of fabrication system. This paper applies a discrete optimization technique as the optimization method to determine the dominant parameter values. Additional study includes manner of complement surface image of ellipse which approximates the brain model using the adaptive slicing and the offset contour. According to the parameters tuning and interaction of effect, more suitable parameter values can be obtained by enhanced 3D brain model fabrication.

This paper optimized the design parameters of the offset strip fin in a heat exchanger. To decrease the pressure drop and increase heat transfer, the performance factors such as j/f, $j/f^{1/3}$, and JF, which could be used to estimate the pressure drop and heat transfer simultaneously, were employed as the criteria for optimization. In the present study, STDQAO, PQRSM, and MGA were used for solving the constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The JF factor and heat transfer performance of the optimized offset-strip fin were greater than those of the reference offset-strip fin by 36% and 280%, respectively.

Hall effect sensor using 7um, 1.7 ohm-cm or 10um, 3.5 ohm-cm Bipolar process was successfully developed. The Hall sensor consists of various patterns, such as regular shapes, rectangles, diamond, hexagon and cross shapes to optimize offset voltage and sensitivity for proper applications. In order to measure offset voltage in chip scale the Agilent company´s 4156C and Nano-Voltage Meter were used and the best structure in offset voltage was finally selected by using ceramic package. The patterns appear to be the quadri-rectangular patterns entirely and three-parallelogram patterns. The measured offset voltages were found to be about 173-365uV. Meanwhile, in ...

The lighting devices using organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are actively researched because of the various advantages such as high power efficiency and 2-dimensitonal lighting emitting. To commercialize those OLED lighting devices, the manufacturing cost must be downed to comparable price with conventional light sources. Here, we demonstrate a reverse gravure-offset or gravure off-set printed metal electrode for the auxiliary electrode for OLED lighting devices. For the fabricated OLED's auxiliary electrode, we used Ag nano-paste and printed metal grid structure with a line width and spacing of several ten and hundred micrometer by using gravure-offset printing. In the end the printing metal grid pattern are successfully achieved by optimization of various experimental conditions such as printing pressure, printing speed and printing delay time.

The paper describes results of a sensitivity study on an optimum mooring cost as a function of safety factor and allowable maximum offset of the offshore floating structure by finding the anchor leg component size and the declination angle. A harmony search (HS) based mooring optimization program was developed to conduct the study. This mooring optimization model was integrated with a frequency-domain global motion analysis program to assess both cost and design constraints of the mooring system. To find a trend of anchor leg system cost for the proposed sensitivity study, optimum costs after a certain number of improvisation were found and compared. For a case study a turret-moored FPSO with 3 ${\times}$ 3 anchor leg system was considered. To better guide search for the optimum cost, three different penalty functions were applied. The results show that the presented HS-based cost-optimum offshore mooring design tool can be used to find optimum mooring design values such as declination angle and horizontal end point separation as well as a cost-optimum mooring system in case either the allowable maximum offset or factor of safety varies.

The digital signage display is actively researched as the next generation of large FPD. To commercialize those digital signage display, the manufacturing cost must be downed with printing method instead of conventional photolithography. Here, we demonstrate a reverse offset printed TFT electrodes for the digital signage display. For the fabricated source/drain and gate electrode, we used Ag ink, silicone blanket, Clich$\acute{e}$ and reverse offset printer. We printed uniform TFT electrode patterns with narrow line width(10 ${\mu}m$ range) and thin thickness(nm range). In the end the printing source/drain and gate electrode are successfully achieved by optimization of experimental conditions such as Clich$\acute{e}$ surface treatment, ink coating process, delay time, off/set process and curing temperature. Also, we checked that the printing align accuracy was within 5 ${\mu}m$.

In order to include the design capability for a compound rotorcraft in a helicopter conceptual design and optimization framework, relevant further improvement was planned and conducted. Previously, a certain conceptual design optimization framework was developed by the present authors to design a modern rotorcraft with single main and tail rotor. The previously developed framework was further improved to expand its capability for a compound rotorcraft. Specifically, its power estimation algorithm was upgraded by using a comprehensive rotorcraft analysis program, CAMRAD II. The presently improved conceptual design and optimization framework was validated using data of the XH-59A aircraft.
