In this paper, a wideband balun of tapered structure using planar microstrip is desigde ad analyzed. The balun structure was fabricated on a Teflon substrate with a thickness of 0.8mm and relative dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r$ of 2.5. Two back-to back CPW-to-CPS transitions were simulated and optimized using HFSS. A movel plaar balun using tapered structure of microstip to CPW is suggested and designed. The measurement result, the bandwidth for a reflection coefficient better than -10dB of the balun is 2GHz to 8GHz. The planar balun can improved the performance of wide band spiral antenna.

A novel three degrees of freedom sensing method utilizing binary grid pattern image and vision camera is presented. The binary grid pattern image is designed by Pseudo-Random Binary Arrays and referenced to encode in-plane position of a moving stage of the contact-free planar actuator. First, the yaw motion of the stage is detected using fast image processing and then the other planar positions, x and y, are decoded with a sequence of images. This method can be applied to the system that needs feedback of in-plane position, with advantages of a good accuracy and high resolution comparable with the encoder, a relatively compact structure, no friction, and a low cost. In this paper, all the procedures of the above sensing mechanism are described in detail, including simulation and experiment results.

Geometric and thermal errors are responsible for major components of the errors of a computer numerically controlled turning center. The planar error of a CNC turning center are comprised of 11 geometric and thermal error components. The error synthesis model is formulated by homogeneous coordinate transformation method and expresses the effect of such error components on the planar error of a CNC turning center. In this paper, the sensitivity analysis of the model on the noises through sensing and the change of temperature is addressed. The sensitivity analysis show that the error systhesis model is robust on the noses and z planar error is much affected by the change of temperatures.

A computational investigation of blood flow in a coronary artery grafted by artificial bypass was performed to determine such geometric parameters as the curvature of radius, approach length, and angle of end-to-side anastomosis. Transient flow features in the host artery were computed using FVM and SIMPLE algorithms. We compared flow distributions and wall shear stresses in two simple models, planar and non-planar, and confirmed that the non-planar bypass model was more conducive to suppressing intimal hyperplasia. Our non-planar model with $60^{\circ}$ of anastomosis and a 1.0 diameter approach length and radius of curvature predicts a relatively small, spatially-extended high-OSI (>0.01) zone, as well as an increased average wall shear stress on this zone.

Polycrystalline Al-Cu ribbons were produced by planar flow casting(PFC). Solidification behavior and microstructual changes of the ribbons have been investigated as a function of ribbon thickness and processing parameters. The solidification front velocity, V varies within the ribbon, decreasing with increasing the distance, S from the wheel-contact surface, as $V=17.6S^{-1}$. In Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy, rapid decrease in solidification velocity toward the free surface causes a change in solidification morphology from planar to cellular, and finally, to dendritic. The length and inclination of columnar grains solidified with planar front were related to the wheel velocity. The transition from particulate degenerate eutectic structure to regular lamellar eutectic structure was observed to be caused by a difference of the relative growth velocites of ${\alpha}-Al$ and ${\theta}$ during solidification in the Al-Cu eutectic alloy.

This paper presents the reliability of planar InP/InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APD's) with recess etching, which is very crucial for the commercial 10-Gb/s optical receiver application. A versatile design for the planar InP/InGaAs APD's and bias-temperature tests to evaluate long-term reliability at temperature from 200 to $250^{\circ}C$. The reliability is examined by accelerated life tests by monitoring dark current and breakdown voltage. The lifetime of the APD's is estimated by a degradation activation energy. Based on the test results, it is concluded that the planar InP/InGaAs APD's with recess etching shows the sufficient reliability for practical 10-Gb/s optical receivers.

We report an experimental investigation of the wavelength and polarization selectivity of a side-polished fiber in contact with a metal-clad planar waveguide. The influences of the structural parameters of the planar waveguide, including refractive index of the superstrate and metal thickness, on the optical transmission characteristics of the device were measured and explained. The conditions for high wavelength and polarization selectivity wore predicted and demonstrated experimentally.

This paper presents a new method for the attitude control of planar space robots. In order to control highly constrained non-linear system such as a 3D space robot, the analytical formulation for the system with complex dynamics and effective control methodology based on the formulation, are not always obtainable. In the proposed method, correspondingly, a non-analytical but effective self-organizing modeling method for controlling a highly constrained system is proposed based on a polynomial data mining algorithm. In order to control the attitude of a planar space robot, it is well known to require inputs characterized by a special pattern in time series with a non-deterministic length. In order to correspond to this type of control paradigm, we adopt the Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme where the length of the non-deterministic horizon is determined based on implementation cost and control performance. The optimal solution to finding the size of the input pattern is found by a solving two-stage programming problem.

The calcining temperature ranging from 900$^{\circ}C$ to 1300$^{\circ}C$ affected on the planar coupling factor and resonance characteristics of BaTiO3 ceramics doped with 0.2 wt% MnO2 have been investigated. Dielectric constant planar coupling factor and anti-resonance frequency of the sample increased with the calcining temperature up to 1,200$^{\circ}C$ and decreased above that temperature but the resonance frequency decreased slightly with the increasing calcining temperature. The planar coupling factor and anti-resonance frequency increased with the sintered density and dielectric constant while the resonance frequency was almost constant. The resonance and anti-resonance frequency increased with the sample temperature.

In this study, the optimal synthesis of planar steering mechanisms for vehicles is studied. The author minimized the steering error between two front wheels subject to the constraints of transmission angles. Nonlinear programming methods such as BFGS method and golden section search method are used for this optimization. As numerical examples, Ackermann's steering mechanism, 6-link and 10-link planar mechanism are adopted to check the usefulness of this method. Consequently, among the three optimized mechanisms, 10-link planar one conducts far more accurate performance subject to tight constraints of transmission angles.
