When we consider a life insurance company that sells a large number of continuous T-year term life insurance policies, it is important to find an optimal strategy which maximizes the surplus of the insurance company at time T. The purpose of this paper is to give an explicit expression for the optimal reinsurance and investment strategy which maximizes the expected exponential utility of the final value of the surplus at the end of T-th year. To do this we solve the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.

Inexpensive large area arrays of thin film transistors (TFTs) on flexible substrates will enable many new display products that cannot be cost effectively manufactured by conventional means. This paper presents a new approach for low cost manufacturing of electronic devices using roll-to-roll (R2R) processes exclusively. It was developed in partnership by Hewlett Packard Laboratories and Iowa Thin Film Technologies (ITFT), a solar cell manufacturer. The approach combines ITFT's unique processes for vacuum deposition and etching of semiconductors, dielectrics and metals on continuous plastic webs with a method HP has invented for the patterning and aligning the multiple layers of a TFT with sub-micron accuracy and feature size.

The relationship between the hardness and interlamellar spacing of discontinuous precipitates (DPs) formed by continuous cooling was studied for Mg-9%Al-1%Zn alloy. After solution treatment at 683 K for 24 h, the specimens were cooled to room temperature with different cooling rates ranging from 0.2 to 2 K·min^-1, in order to obtain DPs with various interlamellar spacings. It was found that cooling rate of 2 K·min^-1 yielded only small amount of nodular DPs at the grain boundaries, while cooling rates below 2 K·min^-1 yielded both DPs and continuous precipitates (CPs). The volume fraction of DPs increased with increasing cooling rate up to 0.5 K·min^-1, over which it abruptly decreased. The hardness of DPs was increased with an increase in the cooling rate, whereas the interlamellar spacing of the DPs was decreased with respect to cooling rate. The hardness of the DPs formed by continuous cooling was correlated with the interlamellar spacing and can follow a Hall-Petch type relation as in the case of pearlite with lamellar morphology.

통계적 실험계획법을 이용하여 TDI 공정에서 발생하는 고체 폐기물(TDI-R)을 근임계수로 가수분해하여 TDA로 재활용하는 연구를 진행하였다. Batch 반응기를 이용한 실험으로부터 TDA 수율에 미치는 주요 인자들의 영향과 교호작용을 확인하였고, pilot plant를 이용한 연속공정 실험을 통해 TDA 수율과 공정 변수들의 상관 식을 도출하였다. TDA 수율에 영향을 주는 주요 인자들은 반응온도, 촉매 종류 및 농도, 물과 TDI-R의 중량비(WR) 등이 유효한 것으로 파악되었다. 반응 온도와 촉매 농도가 증가할수록 TDA 수율은 감소하였고, WR이 증가할수록 수율은 증가하였으며, 촉매로는 $Na_2CO_3$보다 NaOH를 사용하는 것이 효율적이었다. 주요 인자들의 교호작용으로는 촉매농도와 반응온도, WR과 반응온도, 촉매 종류와 반응시간 등이 유효한 것으로 파악되었다. 아임계 온도인 $300^{\circ}C$에서는 촉매 농도 영향이 작지만 초임계수 온도인 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 촉매 농도가 증가할수록 수율이 감소하였다. 반면 $300^{\circ}C$에서 WR이 증가하면 수율이 증가하지만 $400^{\circ}C$에서는 영향이 나타나지 않았다. Pilot plant를 이용하여 scale-up에 필요한 공정 변수의 최적화 실험을 실시하였다. 공정의 경제성, 효율성을 고려하여 공정변수로는 촉매농도와 WR을 정하였고, 중심합성 설계법을 이용하여 TDA 수율에 미치는 인자들의 영향을 파악하였다. 촉매 농도에 따라 수율은 증가하며, 촉매 농도가 낮을 때는 WR이 2.5 이하에서 수율이 최대값을 보인 후 WR이 증가함에 따라 수율이 감소하지만 촉매 농도가 증가하면서 최대값을 보이는 WR이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Pilot plant 실험 결과를 회귀 분석하였으며 TDA 수율을 예측할 수 있도록 촉매 농도와 WR이 변수인 2차 식으로 상관식을 도출하였다.

이 연구는 생물의 서식기반 제공 효과가 있는 다공질의 부석 및 포러스 콘크리트와 대사 작용 및 항산화작용에 의해 유기 오염물질을 분해시켜 오염된 하천수의 수질정화 효과가 있는 유용미생물을 동시에 이용하여 장기간 연속흐름시험을 통한 수질정화 특성을 검토하고자 하였다. 특히 기존의 미생물 탈리 등의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 16S rDNA 염기서열 분석법에 의해 동정된 유용 미생물을 포러스 콘크리트 제조과정에서 각 단계별로 3차 처리하였으며, 최적의 연속흐름 실험을 위한 농도 및 체류시간별에 따른 기초실험을 통하여 운전조건을 검토하였다. 실험 결과 유용미생물을 적용한 포러스 콘크리트는 수질 및 생물에 대한 독성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 일반 포러스 콘크리트 보다 유용미생물을 적용한 포러스 콘크리트가 우수한 제거효율을 나타내었으며, 150일 이상 큰 변화를 나타내지 않아 장기간 운전이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같이 유용미생물을 적용한 포러스 콘크리트의 장기간 연속흐름 실험으로 오염물질 처리성능에 대한 검토를 통하여 오염된 수질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이라고 판단되며, 실험과정 중 나타난 문제점들이 보완된다면 하천에 적용하여 유입되는 비점오염원을 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This research is about the drying and curing characteristic of conductivity metallic ink on-line curing device in order to improve the curing time for productivity in RFID Gravure printing. The curing process is carried out to increase the electric conductivity after the metallic ink is printed on the substrate. The metal ink is composed of nano-sized silver or copper particles. In this research, the combined IR and Hot air curing system is used and its results is compared with those of oven, IR and Hot Air type respectively. Generally the curing time in the past is about 3 minutes. But the combined system (IR+Hot Air) in this research shows that curing time is less than 30 seconds. These results is much faster than those of other system. This study can be help to make Roll-to-Roll drying and curing process for mass and continuous production on-line.

Since late of 2000, KIER has developed a novel pyrolysis process for production of fuel oils from polymer wastes. It could have been possible due to large-scale funding of the Resource Recycling R&D Center. The target was to develop an uncatalyzed, continuous and automatic process producing oils that can be used as a fuel for small-scale industrial boilers. The process development has proceeded in three stages bench-scale unit, pilot plant and demonstration plant. As a result, the demonstration plant having capacity of 3,000 tons/year has been constructed and is currently under test operation for optimization of operation conditions. The process consisted of four parts ; feeding system, cracking reactor, refining system and others. Raw materials were pretreated via shredding and classifying to remove minerals, water, etc. There were 3 kind of products, oils(80%), gas(15%), carbonic residue(5%). The main products i.e. oils were gasoline and diesel. The calorific value of gas has been found to be about 18,000kcal/$m^3$ which is similar to petroleum gas and shows that it could be used as a process fuel. Key technologies adopted in the process are 1) Recirculation of feed for rapid melting and enhancement of fluidity for automatic control of system, 2) Tubular reactor specially-designed for heavy heat flux and prevention of coking, 3)Recirculation of heavy fraction for prevention of wax formation, and 4) continuous removal & re-reaction of sludge for high yield of main product (oil) and minimization of residue. The advantages of the process are full automation, continuous operation, no requirement of catalyst, minimization of coking and sludge problems, maximizing the product(fuel oil) yield and purity, low initial investment and operation costs and environment- friendly process. In this presentation, background of pyrolysis technology development, the details of KIER pyrolysis process flow, key technologies and the performances of the process will be discussed in detail.

The continuous growth method was developed for Mn-Zn Ferrite single crystals. It is a new process that the polycrystalline MnχZn1-χFe2O4 raw materials are supplied continuously from the powder feeding system to the crucible heated by R.F. induction and melted in the crucible, and after the single crystals seed is attached to crucible's hole, the crystals are pulled downward with rotation. Growing the crystals by using the growth method different from the conventional Bridgman or Floating Zone method, we defined the factors having effect on the crystal growing through the pre-experiments. They are temperature distribution in the crucible, melt velocity according to its height, wettability between the crucible's bottom and melt. Therefore, Mn-Zn Ferrite single crystals were to be grown by attaining the appropriate melt height in the crucible, powder feeding rate, temperature gradient between the crucible and interface, crystal growing speed, and this method was confirmed to have possibility for single crystal growing.

Among the information technology and automation that have rapidly developed in the manufacturing industries recently, tens of thousands of quality variables are estimated and categorized in database every day. The former existing statistical methods, or variable selection and interpretation by experts, place limits on proper judgment. Accordingly, various data mining methods, including decision tree analysis, have been developed in recent years. Cart and C5.0 are representative algorithms for decision tree analysis, but these algorithms have limits in defining the tolerance of continuous explanatory variables. Also, target variables are restricted by the information that indicates only the quality of the products like the rate of defective products. Therefore it is essential to develop an algorithm that improves upon Cart and C5.0 and allows access to new quality information such as loss cost. In this study, a new algorithm was developed not only to find the major variables which minimize the target variable, loss cost, but also to overcome the limits of Cart and C5.0. The new algorithm is one that defines tolerance of variables systematically by adopting 3 categories of the continuous explanatory variables. The characteristics of larger-the-better was presumed in the environment of programming R to compare the performance among the new algorithm and existing ones, and 10 simulations were performed with 1,000 data sets for each variable. The performance of the new algorithm was verified through a mean test of loss cost. As a result of the verification show, the new algorithm found that the tolerance of continuous explanatory variables lowered loss cost more than existing ones in the larger is better characteristics. In a conclusion, the new algorithm could be used to find the tolerance of continuous explanatory variables to minimize the loss in the process taking into account the loss cost of the products.
