We reported the diffraction analysis of the liquid crystal (LC) binary gratings and the surface anchoring energies for planar and homeotropic alignments. The planar and homeotropic anchoring energies were directly derived based on the linearly distorted director distribution near domain boundaries, in which the distorted lengths correspond to the extrapolation lengths into both planar and homeotropic regions. From the diffraction analysis for the LC binary gratings with various grating periods based on the linearly graded phase model, both distorted lengths into planar and homeotropic regions were simultaneously obtained. In this work, the planar and homeotropic anchoring energies were found to be about $1.4\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;J/m^2$ and $0.9\;{\times}\;10^{-5}\;J/m^2$, respectively.

Numerical simulation of laminar flow over two spheres in a side-by-side arrangement is carried out to investigate the effect of the inter-sphere spacing on the flow characteristics. The Reynolds numbers considered are 100, 250, and 300, covering the steady axisymmetric, steady planar-symmetric, and unsteady planar-symmetric flows in the case of a single sphere. Results show that the drag and lift coefficients and wake structures are significantly modified depending on both the Reynolds number and the spacing between the spheres. At Re=100, the flow is steady planar-symmetric irrespective of the spacing, but it shows some variation according to the spacing at Re=250 and 300. That is, the flow maintains planar symmetry of the single-sphere wake at large spacings, while it loses the symmetry at small spacings due to the generation of new asymmetric vortical structures. It is also shown that the drag and lift coefficients generally increase with decreasing inter-sphere spacing because the high pressure region is formed near the gap between the spheres.

The planar solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) contains several ceramic materials depending on its structure and has rdfractory metal parts for manifolds, shrouds and current leads. Among ceramic materials for planar SOFC, joining of lanthanum chromite separator and yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ) electoyte in planar SOFC stack to give strong gas tight seals is necessary for satisfactory operation and high performance. Nevertheless, for planar SOFC/sub s/, how to seal the cell stack and gas manifold remains as one of the unsolved problems. Therefore, in this study. we investigated the joining of sintered lanthanum chromite and YSZ pellets using unsintered lanthanum chromite green films as sealent. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis(EDX) revealed that Ca in the sealing material diffused and dissolved into YSZ and sintered lanthanum chromite, and unsintered lanthanum chromite green films reacted with YSZ to from a new phase at the interface. Also, the densification of unsintered lanthanum chromite green films was inpeded by the Ca migration.

We suggested the new compact dual band monopole antenna using two crossed planar monopole antenna. The proposed antenna will be used for the ISM dual band 2.45GHz/5.8GHz. It is necessary to verify its performance through the follow-up development of the proposed antenna for the high-speed wireless actual communications.

The problem of polarized light scattering by a cylinder on or close to a planar substrate is analytically solved. The light is assumed to be normally incident to the axis of the cylinder. Transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) polarizations are treated separately. The solution for each polarization is composed of a coupled set of linear equations which couples the scattering characteristics of the cylinder and the planar substrate. The coupling comes from the scattering by the planar substrate and by the cylinder. The solution of the coupled set of equations obtained by iterative substitution consists of infinite series, where each term represents the contribution of single and multiple scatterings of all orders.

In this study, the problem of blind signal separation for coprime planar arrays is investigated. For coprime planar arrays comprising two uniform rectangular subarrays, we link the signal separation to the tensor-based model called coupled canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) and propose an improved coupled trilinear decomposition approach. The output data of coprime planar arrays are modeled as a coupled tensor set that can be further interpreted as a coupled CPD model, allowing a signal separation to be achieved using coupled trilinear alternating least squares (TALS). Furthermore, in the procedure of the coupled TALS, a Vandermonde structure enforcing approach is explicitly applied, which is shown to ensure fast convergence. The results of Monto Carlo simulations show that our proposed algorithm has the same separation accuracy as the basic coupled TALS but with a faster convergence speed.

본 논문에서는 VVC 화면간 예측 모드 Combined Inter-intra Prediction(CIIP)의 화면내 예측 과정에서의 향상된 PLANAR 예측 방법을 제안한다. Combined Inter-intra Prediction(CIIP) 모드는 화면간 예측 신호와 PLANAR 모드로 생성되는 화면내 예측 신호를 가중합 하여 최종 예측 신호를 생성하는 모드이다. 제안하는 방법은 화면간 예측 신호로 생성된 예측 샘플을 PLANAR 모드 예측 과정에서 우측 및 하단의 참조 샘플로 사용한다. 이후 PLANAR 예측 및 가중합 하여 예측 신호를 만들어내는 것은 기존 CIIP와 동일하다. 제안하는 방법의 성능 평가를 위하여 VVC의 참조 소프트웨어인 VTM 9.0에 구현하였으며, 기존 VTM 9.0과 부호화 성능을 비교한 결과로 휘도 성분에서 0.01 % 부호화 성능 감소를 보이고 색차 성분에 대하여 각각 0.17%, 0.13% 부호화 성능 향상을 보인다.

This paper presents a liquid cooling concept for heat rejection of high power electronic devices existing in notebook computers etc. The design, fabrication, and performance of the planar ECF pump and farced-liquid cooling system are summarized. The electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) is a kind of dielectric and functional fluids, which generates jet flows (ECF-jets) by applying static electric field through a pair of rod-like electrodes. The ECF-jet directly acts on the working fluid, so the proposed planar ECF pump needs no moving part, produces no vibration and noise. The planar ECF pump, consists of a pump housing and electrode substrate, achieves maximum flow rate and output pressure of $5.5\;cm^3/s$ and 7.2 kPa, respectively, at an applied voltage of 2.0 kV. The farced-liquid cooling system, constructed with the planar ECF pump, liquid-cooled heat sink and thermal test chip, removes input power up to 80 W keeping the chip surface temperature below $70\;^{\circ}C$. The experimental results demonstrate that the feasibility of forced-liquid cooling system using ECF is confirmed as an advanced cooling solution on the next-generation high power electronic devices.

A three-dimensional; structural health monitoring; vertical; planar; cross-sample entropy; multiscaleA three-dimensional structural health monitoring (SHM) system based on multiscale entropy (MSE) and multiscale cross-sample entropy (MSCE) is proposed in this paper. The damage condition of a structure is rapidly screened through MSE analysis by measuring the ambient vibration signal on the roof of the structure. Subsequently, the vertical damage location is evaluated by analyzing individual signals on different floors through vertical MSCE analysis. The results are quantified using the vertical damage index (DI). Planar MSCE analysis is applied to detect the damage orientation of damaged floors by analyzing the biaxial signals in four directions on each damaged floor. The results are physically quantified using the planar DI. With progressive vertical and planar analysis methods, the damaged floors and damage locations can be accurately and efficiently diagnosed. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed system, performance evaluation was conducted on a three-dimensional seven-story steel structure. According to the results, the damage condition and elevation were reliably detected. Moreover, the damage location was efficiently quantified by the DI. Average accuracy rates of 93% (vertical) and 91% (planar) were achieved through the proposed DI method. A reference measurement of the current stage can initially launch the SHM system; therefore, structural damage can be reliably detected after major earthquakes.
