Precision motion stages used in the manufacturing process of flat-panel displays have inevitably low settling performance due to their huge mass and bulky structures. In order to improve the settling performance, several methods of frame vibration compensation have been developed so far. These methods are used to cancel the vibration by imposing a counter force or modifying the resonance mode of the frame of the stage. To compensate the frame vibration, high force actuators are required. In this paper, a mighty voice coil actuator is proposed to generate the counter force against the frame vibration. The proposed voice coil actuator has an axis-symmetric rectangular structure to achieve a large force with simple and low cost fabrication. Also, the voice coil actuator allows radial clearance up to ${\pm}4mm$. Using an optimized design process and a magnetic circuit model, the power consumption is minimized while the required force is obtained. With a power of 322 W, the VCA has been designed to have a maximum force of 574 N with a force constant of 164 N/A. Experimental results verified the force constant of the fabricated voice coil actuator is well matched with the designed value.

In this study a complex design fitness analysis of journal bearings is carried out for the LPLi rotary-vane fuel pump application, as an external and horizontal installation, in LPG vehicles. Bearings considered in the analyses are plain and 3-axial groove journal bearings. Upon reflecting the fact that the primary failure mode of bearings in the application is a premature friction and wear failure of bearing metal due to a very low viscosity of liquid fuel LPG as a bearing lubricant, the performance factors of bearings used in an evaluation process of design fitness are a load carrying capacity and vibration suppression ability relative to a rated speed. At this time the design variables of bearings are a radial clearance and length. Results show that, in terms of both of the load carrying capacity and vibration suppression ability, the plain journal bearings are superior to the 3-axial groove journal bearings and among the plain bearings the smaller the bearing clearance (5>10>$15\;{\mu}m$) is and the longer the bearing length (6<8<10<12<14 mm) is, the better the bearing performance is.

The atomization characteristics of the dual air supplying two-fluid nozzle were investigated experimentally using PIV and PDA systems. The twin-fluid nozzle is composed of three main parts: the feeding injector to supply fluid that is controlled by a PWM (pulse-width modulation) mode, the adaptor as a device with the ports for supplying the carrier and assist air, and the main nozzle to produce sprays. The main nozzle has the swirler with four equally spaced tangential slots, which gives the injecting fluid an angular momentum. The swirl angle in the swirler varied with $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$. The ratios of carrier air to assist air and ALR (total air to liquid) were 0.55 and 1.23, respectively. The macroscopic behavior of the spray was investigated using PIV system, and the AMD and SMD distributions of the sprays were measured using PDA system. As a result, the SMD distribution increases along the radial distance, and it decreases with the increase of swirl angle in swirler.

Novel wafer-level fabrication of a glass ball-lens is realized for optoelectronic applications. A Pyrex wafer is bonded to a silicon wafer and cross-cut into a square-tile pattern, followed by wet-etching of the underlying silicon. Cubes of Pyrex on the undercut silicon are then turned into ball shapes by thermal reflow, and separated from the wafer by further etching of the silicon support. Radial variation and surface roughness are measured to be less than ${\pm}3\;{\mu}m$ and ${\pm}1\;nm$, respectively, for ball diameter of about $500\;{\mu}m$. A surface defect on the ball that is due to the silicon support is shown to be healed by using a silicon-optical-bench. Optical power-relay of the ball lens showed the maximum efficiency of 65% between two single-mode fibers on the silicon-optical-bench.

In a previous study, we analyzed the transcriptome of Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans using next-generation sequencing technology and identified several antimicrobial peptide candidates. One of the peptides, scolopendrasin V, was selected based on the physicochemical properties of antimicrobial peptides using a bioinformatics strategy. In this study, we assessed the antimicrobial activities of scolopendrasin V using the radial diffusion assay and colony count assay. We also investigated the mode of action of scolopendrasin V using flow cytometry. We found that scolopendrasin V's mechanism of action involved binding to the surface of microorganisms via a specific interaction with lipopolysaccharides, lipoteichoic acid, and peptidoglycans, which are components of the bacterial membrane. These results provide a basis for developing peptide antibiotics.

In March and April 2001, the apogee (~9 Re) of the Polar spacecraft was located near the subsolar magnetopause with its orbital plane nearly parallel to a magnetic meridian plane. Polar electric and magnetic field data acquired during the two-month interval of solar maximum have been used to study fundamental standing Alfven waves near the subsolar meridian plane (magnetic local time = 1000-1400 hours) at magnetic latitudes from the equator to $\pm45$ degrees and at L values between 7 and 12. In the frequency band from 1.5 to 10 mHz, fundamental mode oscillations were identified based on high coherence (more than 0.7) and an approximately 90-degree phase shift between the azimuthal magnetic and radial electric field components. The L dependence of the fundamental frequencies is studied, and the frequencies are compared with those observed near the solar minimum interval (Takahashi et al. 2001). We found that the average frequencies in solar maximum are lower than those in solar minimum by a factor of ~2. This implies that the mass density in solar maximum is higher than that in solar minimum by a factor of ~4. Since there is a positive correlation between solar irradiance and solar activity, we suggest that the ionosphere in solar maximum produces more ions and load magnetic flux tubes with more ions.

A linear acoustic analysis is conducted to examine bituning of acoustic resonators for acoustic damping in a combustion chamber of liquid rocket engine. Bituned resonators are tuned to the two principal modes, the first tangential(1T) and the first radial(1R) modes. First, the acoustic-damping effect of monotuned resonators is investigated. The damping capacity is quantified by damping factor as a function of the number of the resonators monotuned to 1T or 1R mode. Next, the damping characteristics of the bituned resonators are investigated. From the numerical data, the number of resonators, to be tuned to 1T and 1R modes, respectively, can be selected properly.

연소실의 세장비(aspect ratio)가 작으면서 추진제의 고 충전을 이용한 단시간 연소 모타는 유도탄의 사출 모타 용으로 사용될 수 있다. 사출 모타는 일반적으로 모타 무게에 대한 제약 조건이 까다롭지 않기 때문에 무게 경량화에 대한 부담은 줄어들지만, 모타의 부피가 커지면 유도탄 발사 장치의 부피가 커지기 때문에 공간적인 측면에서 가능한 작게 하는 것이 시스템 전체의 효율을 증대시킬 수 있다. 또한 사출 모타의 연소 시간이 짧기 때문에(1초 이내) 추진제의 웹 두께가 작으므로 연소실의 주어진 공간에서 추진제를 많이 채우기 위한 방법으로 원통 튜브형 그레인을 여러 개의 다발로 사용하는 방법이 효과적이다. 이러한 관점에서 사출 모타용으로 다발 원통 튜브형 그레인을 설계/제작/연소시험을 하였더니 작은 저주파(약 10Hz)의 연소 불안정 현상이 발생하였다. (그림1). 이러한 주파수 대역은 일반적으로 잘 알려진 연소 불안정 모드 (longitudinal, tangential, and radial mode)와는 다른 아주 특이한 현상이다. 이러한 현상의 주 원인은 연소실 내 압력의 비평형에 의한 현상이라 판단되어 다음과 같은 연구를 수행하였다. 1) 그레인 튜브간의 압력 평형을 원활하게 하기 위하여 그레인에 구멍(홀)을 뚫어서 연소 안정화에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구(그림2), 2) 그레인에 홀을 뚫지 않고 격자와 격자간의 공간을 이용하여 그레인 간에 발생된 저주파의 압력 진동을 산란/소멸 시키는 연소 안정화 연구(그림3).

In this study, application of polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactors for $CO_2$ removal from water in liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) mode was simulated. For this purpose, a steady state 2D mathematical model was developed. In this model axial and radial diffusion was considered to $CO_2$ permeation through the hollow fibers. $CO_2$ laden water is fed at a constant flow rate into the lumen side, permeated through the pores of membrane and at the end of this process, $CO_2$ solution in the lumen side was extracted by means of aqueous diethanolamine (DEA) and chemical reaction. The simulation results were validated with the experimental data and it was found a good agreement between them, which confirmed the reliability of the proposed model. Both simulation and experimental results confirmed the reduction in the percentage of $CO_2$ removal by increment of feed flow rate.

The aim of this study is to develop a semi-analytical method to investigate fluid-structure coupling of concentric double shells with different lengths and elastic behaviours. Co-axial shells constitute a cylindrical circular container and a baffle submerged inside the stored fluid. The container shell is made of functionally graded materials with mechanical properties changing through its thickness continuously. The baffle made of steel is fixed along its top edge and submerged inside fluid such that its lower edge freely moves. The developed approach is verified using a commercial finite element computer code. Although the model is presented for a specific case in the present work, it can be generalized to investigate coupling of shell-plate structures via fluid. It is shown that the coupling between concentric shells occurs only when they vibrate in a same circumferential mode number, n. It is also revealed that the normalized vibration amplitude of the inner shell is about the same as that of the outer shell, for narrower radial gaps. Moreover, the natural frequencies of the fluid-coupled system gradually decrease and converge to the certain values as the gradient index increases.
