  • During reactor operation, the divertor must withstand unprecedented simultaneous high heat fluxes and high-energy neutron irradiation. The extremely severe service environment of the divertor imposes a huge challenge to the bonding quality of divertor joints, i.e., the joints must withstand thermal, mechanical and neutron loads, as well as cyclic mode of operation. In this paper, potassium-doped tungsten (KW) is selected as the plasma facing material (PFM), oxygen-free copper (OFC) as the interlayer, oxide dispersion strengthened copper (ODS-Cu) alloy as the heat sink material, and reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel as the structural material. In this study, a vacuum brazing technology is proposed and optimized to bond Cu and ODS-Cu alloy with the silver-free brazing material CuSnTi. The most appropriate brazing parameters are a brazing temperature of 940 ℃ and a holding time of 15 min. High-quality bonding interfaces have been successfully obtained by vacuum brazing technology, and the average shear strength of the as-obtained KW/Cu and ODS-Cu alloy joints is ~268 MPa. And a fabrication route for manufacturing the flat-type divertor target based on brazing technology is set. For evaluating the reliability of the fabrication technologies under the reactor relevant condition, the high heat flux test at 20 MW/m2 for the as-manufactured flat-type KW/Cu/ODS-Cu/RAFM mockup is carried out by using the Electron-beam Material testing Scenario (EMS-60) with water cooling. This paper reports the improved vacuum brazing technology to connect Cu to ODS-Cu alloy and summarizes the production route, high heat flux (HHF) test, the pre and post non-destructive examination, and the surface results of the flat-type KW/Cu/ODS-Cu/RAFM mockup after the HHF test. The test results demonstrate that the mockup manufactured according to the fabrication route still have structural and interfacial integrity under cyclic high heat loads.

  • 가상목업을 이용한 정비 시뮬레이션을 제품 설계 단계에 적용함으로써 시제품 제작 전 정비성을 검증할 수 있고, 제품 개발 비용을 절감할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 정비 시뮬레이션 결과는 정비 매뉴얼 컨텐츠로 재사용하거나 RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) 분석 자료로 활용할 수 있다. 가상 환경에서 설계 타당성을 검증하기 위해 정비 시뮬레이션은 가상 제품의 물리특성, 부품의 조립관계, 조작 과정을 실제 환경과 유사하게 제공해야 한다. 시뮬레이션 시스템은 협업 정비 절차를 수행하기 위해 가상 협업 환경으로 확장되어야 한다. 본 논문은 현재 알려진 정비 시뮬레이션을 가상 협업 환경으로 확장하기 위한 3계층 시스템 구조와 물리모의 기반 협업 인터렉션 기술을 제안한다. 제안된 협업 정비 시뮬레이션 시스템은 가상목업 정비 시뮬레이션 시스템으로 구현하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과를 VADE (Virtual Assembly Design Environment) 사례와 비교하여 물리모의 기반 협업 인터렉션 기술로 다양한 정비 작업을 모의하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • Recently, diagnostics of plasma becomes more important due to requirement of precise control of plasma processing based on measurement of plasma characteristics. The Langmuir probe has been used for the diagnostics but it has an inevitable uncertainty and error sources such as incorrect tip length and RF noise. Instead of the Langmuir probe, various diagnostic methods have been developed and researched. The cutoff probe is promising one for plasma density using microwaves and resonance phenomenon at the plasma frequency. The cutoff probe has various advantages as follows; (i) it is simple and robust, (ii) it uses few assumptions, and (iii) it is free from deposition by reactive gas. However, the cutoff probe also has uncertainty and error sources such as gap between tips, tip length, direction of tip plane, and RF noise. In this study, the uncertainty and error sources in manufacturing both probes and in diagnostics process were analyzed via comparative experiment at various discharge conditions. Furthermore, to reveal the user dependence of both probes, three well trained Ph. D students made the Langmuir probe and the cutoff probe, respectively, and it were analyzed. Thought this study, it is established that reliability and validity of the Langmuir probe and the cutoff probe related with not only the intrinsic characteristics of probes but also probe user.

  • In order to measure the absolute plasma density, various probes are proposed and investigated and microwave probes are widely used for its advantages (Insensitivity to thin non-conducting material deposited by processing plasmas, High reliability, Simple process for determination of plasma density, no complicate assumptions and so forth). There are representative microwave probes such as the cutoff probe, the hairpin probe, the impedance probe, the absorption probe and the plasma transmission probe. These probes utilize the microwave interactions with the plasma-sheath and inserted structure (probe), but frequency range used by each probe and specific mechanisms for determining the plasma density for each probe are different. In the recent studies, behaviors of each microwave probe with respect to the plasma parameters of the plasma density, the pressure (the collision frequency), and the sheath width is abundant and reasonably investigated, whereas relative diagnostic characteristics of the probes by a comparative study is insufficient in spite of importance for comprehensive applications of the probes. However, experimental comparative study suffers from spatially different plasma characteristics in the same discharge chamber, a low-reproducibility of ignited plasma for an uncertainty in external discharge parameters (the power, the pressure, the flow rate and so forth), impossibility of independently control of the density, the pressure, and the sheath width as well as expensive and complicate experimental setup. In this paper, various microwave probes are simulated by finite-different time-domain simulation and the error between the input plasma density in FDTD simulations and the measured that by the unique microwave spectrums of each probe is obtained under possible conditions of plasma density, pressure, and sheath width for general low-temperature plasmas. This result shows that the each probe has an optimum applicable plasma condition and reliability of plasma density measurement using the microwave probes can be improved by the complementary use of each probe.

  • 연구목적 조현병 환자의 선택적 주의력을 평가하기 위해 집중력 네트워크 검사(Attention Network Test)가 널리 사용되고 있으나, 조현병 환자들이 시행한 집중력 네트워크 검사 결과의 신뢰도에 대해서는 연구된 바가 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 조현병 환자를 대상으로 주의력 네트워크 검사의 검사-재검사 신뢰도를 연구하여 이 검사의 심리측정적 특성(psychometric properties)을 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법 조현병 환자 14명, 일반인 23명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 실험대상자들은 일주일 간격으로 두 번 동일한 시간에 주의력 네트워크 검사를 수행하였다. 검사-재검사 신뢰도를 분석하기 위해 피어슨 상관분석(Pearson correlation)과 급내 상관분석(Intra-class correlation)을 시행하였다. 결 과 조현병 환자들은 집중력 네트워크 검사의 측정 항목 중 평균 반응시간, 지향 효과, 갈등처리 효과에서 높은 정도의 상관관계를 보였다. 정확도에서는 중간부터 높은 정도의 상관관계를 보였으며, 각성 효과와 갈등처리 오답률에서는 중간 정도의 상관관계를 보였다. 한편, 일반인은 평균 반응시간에서 높은 정도의 상관관계를 보였고, 갈등처리 오답률에서 중간부터 높은 정도의 상관관계를 보였다. 또한, 각성 효과, 지향 효과, 갈등처리 효과에서 중간 정도의 상관관계를 보였으며, 각성 오답률에서 중간 정도의 역상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 본 연구 결과에 의하면, 조현병 환자와 일반인 모두에서 중간 정도 이상의 신뢰도를 보이는 집중력 네트워크 검사 항목은 평균 반응시간, 각성 효과, 지향 효과, 갈등처리 효과, 갈등처리 오답률 항목이다. 그러므로 집중력 네트워크 검사를 사용하여 조현병 환자군 대 일반 대조군 실험을 시행할 때, 상기 항목들의 결과를 비교하는 것이 신뢰도 측면에서 추천된다.

  • We present the results from B-, R-, I-, J- and H-band observations of the NEP-Wide survey field. The NEP-Wide survey is an AKARI survey of the North Ecliptic Pole covering ~ 5 square degrees area. Our optical/NIR imaging supports the AKARI IR imaging data by providing a crucial coverage in the optical/NIR. The optical data were obtained in 2007 using the 1.5 m telescope and SNUCAM at Maidanak Observatory, Uzbekistan. The NIR data were obtained in 2008 with FLAMINGOS on the KPNO 2.1 m telescope. We used IRAF, SExtractor, SCAMP, and SWarp for reducing the raw data, I-band fringe pattern removal, astrometry, standard photometry calibration, and source detection. Our optical-NIR data reach the depths of B ~ 23.4, R ~ 23.1, I ~ 22.3, J ~ 21.05, and H ~ 20.64 AB mag at 5-sigma. Here, we present the astrometric accuracy, galaxy number counts, completeness, and reliability, as well as redshift tracks of some normal galaxies and quasars on the B - R vs. R - I color-color diagram. The photometric data are being used for identifying optical counterparts of the IR data provided by AKARI, studying their SEDs, and selecting interesting objects for spectroscopic follow-up studies.

  • Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy is applied to BaSrFBr : Eu film which is used for the phosphore layer, and afterwards the reliability and self-consistency of source corrections in the positron lifetime spectroscopy is investigated using a $^{22}Na$ positron emitter covered by thin foils. The positron lifetime showed no significant change through the various proton irradiation energies. It is unusual that the measurements of the defects indicate that most of the defects were likely to have been generated by X-ray radiation. This may have resulted from the Bragg peaks of the proton characteristics. The Bragg peak does not affect the defect signals enough to distinguish the lifetimes and intensities in a material that is includes multi-grains. The lifetime ($\tau_1$) associated with positron annihilations in the Ba, Br, and Eu of the sample was about 250 ps, and due to the annihilations at F-centers or defects from the irradiated protons in sample, the lifetime ($\tau_2$) was about 500 ps.

  • As semiconductor and MEMS devices become smaller, testing process during their production should follow such a high density trend. A circuit inspection tool "probe card" makes contact with electrode pads of the device under test (DUT). Nowadays, electrode pads are irregularly arranged and have height difference. In order to absorb variations in the heights of electrode pads and to generate contact loads, contact probes must have some levels of mechanical spring properties. Contact probes must also yield a force to break the surface native oxide layer or contamination layer on the electrodes to make electric contact. In this research, new vertical micro contact probe with bellows shape is developed to overcome shortage of prior work. Especially, novel bellows shape is used to reduce stress concentration in this design and stopper is used to change the stiffness of micro contact probe. Variable stiffness can be one solution to overcome the height difference of electrode pads.

  • More complex radiotherapy techniques using multi leaf collimation(MLC) such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) has been increasing the significance of verification of leaf position and motion. Due to the reliability and robustness, quality assurance(QA) of MLC is usually performed with portal films. However, the advantage of ease of use and capability of providing digital data of electronic portal imaging devices(EPIDs) have attracted many attentions as alternatives of films for routine quality assurance in spite of the concerns about their clinical feasibility, efficacy, and the cost to benefit ratio. In our work, the method of routine QA of MLC using electronic portal imaging(EPI) was developed. The verification of availability of EPI images for routine QA was performed by comparison with those of the portal films which were simultaneously obtained when radiation was delivered and known prescription input to MLC controller. Specially designed test patterns of dynamic MLC were applied to image acquisition. Quantitative off-line analysis using edge detection algorithm enhanced the verification procedure in addition to on-line qualitative visual assessment. In conclusion, the EPI is available enough for routine QA with the accuracy of portal films.
