A small and lightweight crawling robots have been actively studied thanks to their outstanding mobility and maneuverability. Those robots can navigate into more confined spaces that larger robots are unable to reach or enter such as debris and caves. In this paper, we propose a milli-scale hexapedal robot based on planar linkage design. To make this possible, two necessary conditions for successful crawling are satisfied: thrust force from the ground and aerial phase while running. These conditions are achieved through a newly developed leg design. The robot has a pair of legs and each leg has three feet. Those feet alternatively moves based on 1DOF planar linkage. This linkage is installed at each side of the robot and finally the robot shows the alternating gait and aerial phase during running. As a result, the robot runs with the crawling speed of 0.9 m/s.

MEMS technology is proven to be an enabling technology to realize many components for optical networking applications. Due to its widespread applications, VOA has been one of the most attractive MEMS based key devices in optical communication market. Micromachined shutters and refractive mirrors on top of silicon substrate or on the device layer of SOI (Silicon-on-insulator) substrate are the approaches trapped tremendous research activities, because such approaches enable easier alignment and assembly works. These groups of devices are known as the planar VOAs, or two-dimensional (2-D) VOAs. In this review article, we conduct the comprehensively literature survey with respect to MEMS based planar VOA devices. Apparently MEMS VOA technology is still evolving into a mature technology. MEMS VOA technology is not only the cornerstone to support the future optical communication technology, but the best example for understanding the evolution of optical MEMS technology.

Preserving high-order accuracy in high-order FDTD solutions across dielectric interfaces is very important for practical time-domain electromagnetic simulations. This paper presents a fourth-order accurate numerical boundary scheme for the planar dielectric interface to be used in the fourth-order FDTD method proposed earlier by the author. The interface scheme for the two-dimensional (2-D) transverse magnetic (TM) polarization case is derived and validated by monitoring the $L_2$ norm errors in the numerical solutions of a partially-filled cavity demonstrating its fourth-order convergence and long-time numerical stability in the presence of the planar dielectric interface.

Release competition and development of eco-friendly vehicles have been conducted violently also automaker, it will be a high growth industry of the charger and battery, which is the driving source of the motor of an electric vehicle. Reduces the on-resistance power elements DC - DC converter for battery charger for electric vehicles, must minimize switching losses. Should have a low on-resistance power than existing products. Compare the Super Junction MOSFET and Planar MOSFET, As a result, super junction MOSFET improve on about 87.4% on-state voltage drop performance than planar MOSFET.

This paper presents inverse kinematics and workspace analysis of a planar three degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator. Furthermore, optimization problem of the manipulator is presented. The manipulator adopts PRR (Prismatic-Revolute-Revolute) mechanism and the prismatic actuators are fixed to the base. This leads to a reduction of the inertia of the moving links and hence enables it to move with high speed. The actuators are linear electric motors. First, the mechanism based on the geometry of the manipulator is introduced. Second, a workspace analysis is performed. Finally, design optimization is carried out to have large workspace. The proposed approach can be applied to the design optimization of various three DOF parallel manipulators in order to maximize their workspace. The performance of mechanism is improved and satisfies the requirements of workspace to align micro-components.

InP-based planar waveguide 48-channel concave grating demultiplexers with a channel spacing of 0.8 nm (100 GHz) are described and demonstrated. Polarization insensitivity and flattened spectral response are successfully achieved by the introduction of a polarization compensator and a two-focus grating, respectively. The fabricated device shows a polarization-dependent wavelength shift of less than 20 pm and a -3 dB spectral width of about 0.55 nm (68.75 GHz) over all channels.

This paper proposes a new planar robotic manipulator using stackable 4-BAR mechanisms for various applications. The proposed manipulator has an advantage that we can separate the driving actuators from a robotic manipulator. By separating actuators from the manipulator, we are able to separate the electrical component such as electrical wiring from the mechanical linkage/joint components in the robotic manipulator. Also, we suggest the kinematic analysis of the proposed manipulator which is composed of input mechanisms, multiple 4-BAR mechanisms and output mechanisms. Finally, we suggest numerical simulations to show the effectiveness of the proposed manipulator.

Through Montecarlo simulation, this study compares how accurately the existing three phase deviation models estimate the time-varying variance of a planar oscillator perturbed by Gaussian noises. The comparison reveals that Kaertner model estimates the time-varying variance with about 1000 times higher accuracy than ISF or PP model exhibits. Additionally, it finds that the estimation accuracy of PP model is somewhat higher than that of ISF model.

Microstrip line on dielectric substrate depending on the type of its configuration can be applied to be antenna, communication filters, and resonators. When driving frequency is considered more than X-band, unnecessary signal leakage should be occurred because of flowing through the planar circuit at banding position. So leakage signal will affect other planar circuit, and then EMC problem has to be introduced. In this paper, the affection of banding planar circuit on dielectric substrate was investigated.

In this paper, we have analyzed the electrical characteristics of 1200V trench gate field stop IGBT and have compared to NPT planar type IGBT and NPT planar field stop IGBT. As a result of analyzing, we obtained superior electrical characteristics of trench gate field stop IGBT than conventional IGBT. To begin with, the breakdown voltage characteristic was showed 1,460 V and on state voltage drop was showed 0.7 V. We obtained 3.5 V threshold voltage, too. To use these results, we have extracted optimal design and process parameter and designed trench gate field stop IGBT. The designed trench gate IGBT will use to inverter of renewable energy and automotive industry.
