In an electrical reliability test of a printed circuit board (PCB), the impact of the micro probing pins on the PCB needs to be checked to ascertain the quality of the circuit. In this study, the impact of the dynamic movement of the probing pin on the pad was observed. As a misaligned pin can exert horizontal force on the pad of the PCB, this study focused on the behavior of a misaligned probing pin. The parameters of observation were the circular and flat edges of the probing pin. The effects of the speed of movement, diameter, and the length of projection of the probing pin were also investigated. The results demonstrated that slippage angle is strongly affected by the shape of the edge of the probing pin, and that projection length is an important factor affecting pin slippage. In contrast, the speed of movement of the probing pin was able to double the slippage angle.

Assembly using a bolt and nut, and rivet or pin have been used widely for forming mechanical joints. The indent method is an easier process than other manufacturing techniques and the toughness of the material is excellent. On the other hand, there are many cases in which the cracks occur on the manufacturing process as the indent method. Therefore, two kinds of models, in which a pin goes into and out PCB plate in this study were developed using the CATIA program and finite element methods were performed using the ANSYS program. When a pin was passed through a PCB plate in cases 1 and 2, the maximum loads applied to the PCB plate were 79.708N and 90.277N, respectively. When the PCB plate came out of the pin in cases 1 and 2, the maximum loads were 63.783N and 33.75N, respectively. The damage prevention and durability can be improved by applying the study results to the design of real indentation.

In this study, the flow and heat transfer of the aligned pin-fin array of the air cooling module for electronic packaging application were numerically analyzed with various fin shapes. The geometric cross-sectional shapes of pin-fins considered in this study were ellipse, wing and circle. The fins had same cross-sectional area and height, but they had different surface areas. As the results, the surface area, the heat transfer coefficient, and the heat transfer performance of pin-fins greatly depended on their shapes. Of the three types of pin-fins, the wing type pin-fin with suitable shape produced the best heat transfer performance. This result implies that the cooling capacity of the pin-fin cooler can be significantly enhanced only by the change of fin shape without increasing air flow-rate or fin density.

Characterization of the microweld CCFL electrode for the TFT-LCD backlight unit was carried out in terms of the glass beading heat treatment conditions. We evaluate the weld zone and parent metal of the microweld CCFL electrodes that were exposed to simulated glass beading heat treatment. The CCFL electrode was composed of the cup made with pure Ni, the pin made with pure Mo and the lead wire made with Ni-Mn alloy. Each part of the electrode was assembled together by micro spot welding process and then the assembled electrodes were exposed to simulated glass beading temperatures of $700^{\circ}C,\;750^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. The microstructures of the microweld CCFL electrode were observed by using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and EDS. Micro-tensile and microhardness test were also carried out. The results indicated that the grain coarsening in the HAZs(heat affected zones) for both the cup-pin weld and pin-lead wire were exhibited and the grain coarsening of the HAZ for the cup and the lead wire was more obvious than the HAZ of the pin. The micro-tensile test revealed that the fracture occurred at the cup-pin weld zone for all test conditions. The fracture surface could be classified into two parts such as pin portion and cup portion including weld nugget. The failure was seemed to be initiated from the boundary between nugget and pin through the weld joint. The result of the microhardness measurement exhibited that the relatively low hardness value, about 105HV was recorded at the HAZ of the cup. This value was about 50% less than that of the original value of the cup. The reduction of the microhardness was considered as the cause of the grain coarsening due to welding process. It was also appeared that there was no change in electric resistance for the standard electrodes and heat treated electrodes.

[011] poled ternary Pb(In_1/2Nb_1/2)O₃-Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-PbTiO₃ (PIN-PMN-PT) single crystals have been investigated for active materials for acoustic transducers because of their high piezoelectric properties in both shear and transverse modes. In order to use [011] poled PIN-PMN-PT single crystals for acoustic transducers, the characterization of full-matrix material properties is required. In this study, full sets of compliance, dielectric, and piezoelectric constants of [011] poled rhombohedral PIN-PMN-PT were measured by a resonance method. Dimensions and geometries of 12 samples were proposed for measuring 17 independent material constants of [011] poled rhombohedral PIN-PMN-PT single crystals. Two sets of samples with different PT concentrations, 0.24PIN-0.49PMN-0.27PT and 0.24PIN-0.46PMN-0.30PT, were fabricated and their material properties were measured. Measured impedance spectra and simulated impedance spectra of the samples were compared to check the accuracy of the measurements.

Background: Preoperative traditional software planning (TSP) is a method used to assist surgeons with implant selection and glenoid guide-pin insertion in shoulder arthroplasty. Mixed reality (MR) is a new technology that uses digital holograms of the preoperative plan and guide-pin trajectory projected into the operative field. The purpose of this study was to compare TSP to MR in a simulated surgical environment involving insertion of guide-pins into models of severely deformed glenoids. Methods: Eight surgeons inserted guide-pins into eight randomized three-dimensional-printed severely eroded glenoid models in a simulated surgical environment using either TSP or MR. In total, 128 glenoid models were used and statistically compared. The outcomes compared between techniques included procedural time, difference in guide-pin start point, difference in version and inclination, and surgeon confidence via a confidence rating scale. Results: When comparing traditional preoperative software planning to MR visualization as techniques to assist surgeons in glenoid guide pin insertion, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of mean procedure time (P=0.634), glenoid start-point (TSP=2.2±0.2 mm, MR=2.1±0.1 mm; P=0.760), guide-pin orientation (P=0.586), or confidence rating score (P=0.850). Conclusions: The results demonstrate that there were no significant differences between traditional preoperative software planning and MR visualization for guide-pin placement into models of eroded glenoids. A perceived benefit of MR is the real-time intraoperative visibility of the surgical plan and the patient's anatomy; however, this did not translate into decreased procedural time or improved guide-pin position.

In this paper, we proposed reconfigurable dual polarization patch array antenna that can select two polarizations(Vertical, RHCP) using defected ground structure and Pin diode. The proposed antenna was designed arranging a circular polarization patch antenna implemented with a square microstrip patch and two slots 3x3 at 25.8mm placed, a half-wavelength of 5.8 GHz. Conect the pin diode and the capacitor to the slot diagonally placed on the ground of each antennas, and select polarization using the open/short operating according to the application of DC voltage to the pin diode. As a result of the design, the gain of the antenna is 11.7 dBi at vertical polarization and 11.6 dBic at RHCP. The axial ratio is 20.3 dB at 1.8 dB vertical polarization at RHCP. Mutual Coupling is Maximum to -20.8 dB for vertical polarization and Maximum to -30.1 dB for RHCP.

In jet engines, turbine blade cooling has an extremely important role. The pin-fin array, which is situated close to the trailing edge of the blade, aids in internal cooling of the gas turbine blades and preserves the structural integrity of the blade. Previous studies often focused on pin-fin configurations, but the current research focuses on improving the geometry at the endwalls to reduce wake vortices behind the pin-fins and enhance heat transfer at the endwalls location. Using the k-ω turbulence model, a numerical study was conducted on a ribbed shape situated on the walls between pin-fin arrays, spanning a Reynolds number range of 7400 to 36000, in order to determine the heat transport characteristics. The heat transfer efficiency coefficient and Nusselt number increase dramatically with the revised wall configuration, according to the numerical data. The channel's heat transfer efficiency is increased by enlarging the heat transfer areas near the pin-fins and by the interaction of the flow with the endwalls. The addition of ribs causes the Nusselt number of the new model to climb from 78% to 96% at the previously given Reynolds numbers, and the heat transfer efficiency index to rise from 60% to 73%. The height (Hr), position (Lr), forward width (Wf), and backward width (Wb) of the ribs are among the geometric elements that were looked at in order to determine how they affected the performance of heat transmission. In comparison to the reference design, the parametric study results demonstrate that the best forward width (Wf/R=18.75%) and backward width (Wb/R=31.25%) increase the heat transfer efficiency index by 0.4% and 1.3%, respectively.
