It is important to control the processing conditions to maximize the replication quality of UV-molded microstructure. In the present study, the tip radius anil surface roughness of V-groove structure were measured to quantify the replication quality. UV-curing dose and the applied pressure were experimentally selected as the governing Processing conditions that affect the replication quality of the UV-molded part. Finally. an experimental optimization technique combining central composite design and desirability function approach was used to maximize the replication quality of UV-molded structure.

An experimental method is presented to maximize the replication quality of UV-molded micro-optical components. It is important to maximize the replication quality, because one can obtain the replicated micro-optical components with desired properties by accurate control of the shape. In the present study, a simple technique to avoid micro-air bubbles was first suggested. The effects of the UV-curing dose and the compression pressure on the replication quality of UV-molded structure were examined experimentally. Finally, as a practical application of the process design method, microlens arrays with diameters between 8 ${\mu}m$ and 96 ${\mu}m$ were fabricated by the present method, and the replication quality and the optical properties of the replicated microlens were measured and analyzed.

In the injection-molded light guide plate the replication quality, i.e. the reproduction accuracy, of micro-patterns should be high and uniform over the entire surface area. However technical difficulty in meeting the necessary replication quality arises as the plate size becomes large for TV applications. We propose a simulation technique to optimize the distribution of micro-patterns on a 55-inch injection molded light guide plate considering non-ideal replication quality of micro-patterns. The luminance uniformity could be improved by more than 16% by optimizing the pattern distribution in spite of the same replication quality.

In this research, we consider the replication strategy for the applications of video streaming in wireless mesh networks (WMNs). In particular, we propose a closed-form of optimal replication densities for a set of frames of a video streaming by exploiting not only the skewed access probability of each frame but also the skewed loss probability and skewed encoding rate-distortion information. The simulation results demonstrate that our method improves the replication performance in terms of user-perceived quality (UPQ) which includes: 1) minimum average maximum reconstructed distortion for high peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), 2) small reconstructed distortion fluctuation among frames for smooth playback, and 3) reasonable average maximum transmission distance for continuous playback. Furthermore, the proposed strategy consumes smaller storage capacity compared to other existing optimal replication strategies. More importantly, the effect of encoding rate is carefully investigated to show that high encoding rate does not always gain high performance of replication for video streaming.

UV-molded microlens arrays with high replication quality were fabricated using a parametric design method. It is important to maximize the replication quality, because one can obtain the replicated micro-optical components with desired properties by accurate control of the shape. In the present study, nickel mold inserts for microlens arrays with lenses having diameters between $3\mu\textrm{m}$ and $230\mu\textrm{m}$ were fabricated by electroforming process. An UV-molding system was designed and constructed, a simple technique to avoid micro-air bubbles was first suggested, and the effects of the compression pressure and UV-curing dose on the replication quality of UV-molded microlens arrays with a diameter of $14\mu\textrm{m}$ were examined experimentally. Finally, geometrical and optical properties of the replicated microlens arrays were measured and analyzed.

Fresnel lens is a kind of refractive optical lens with various advantages. It has nearly flat shaped optical lens that has small mass. Fresnel lens has number of applications in the compact optical systems. Recently, demands of high quality Fresnel lens for small size optical systems such as illumination units, compact imaging systems, display units, information storage systems, optical detecting units had increased rapidly. Conventional manufacturing process of high quality Fresnel lens is direct machining. However, it is not suitable for mass production because of high cost and long cycle time. Replication method can provide cost effective mass production process. However, there are various issues about replication of Fresnel lens. Fresnel lens has number of sharp blade shape prism. In the replication process, this blade shape causes defects that can affect optical efficiency. In this study, replication processes; injection molding process and UV imprinting process, were developed and evaluated using Fresnel lens that has maximum pattern height of $250\;{\mu}m$ and aspect ratio of 1.5.

Fresnel lens has number of applications in the optical systems because of its advantages. It is nearly flat lens that has small weight. It is conventionally used in lighthouse beacons, condensing unit of overhead projector and etc. Recently, demands of small size optical systems such as display units, information storage systems, optical detecting units had increased. Conventional manufacturing process of high quality Fresnel lens is direct machining. But it is not suitable for mass production because of high cost and long cycle time. Replication process is more suitable for mass production. But the Fresnel lens has number of sharp blade shape prism. In the replication process, this blade shape causes defects that can affect optical efficiency.

In the present study replication of microstructured surfaces by microinjection molding was carried out. For a fabrication of mold inserts, nickel microstructures having various characteristic dimensions were fabricated by nickel electroforming onto Si mother microstructures. In addition, reverse nickel microstructures based on the electroformed nickel microstructures were successfully realized by electroforming with passivation process. The fabricated nickel microstructures were used as mold inserts for a replication of microstructured surfaces by microinjection molding. Microinjection molding experiment was carried out under three different processing conditions, which revealed effects of a packing stage and mold wall temperature. The microinjection-molded microstructured surfaces were characterized by using an atomic force microscope (AFM). It was found that mold wall temperature could enhance replication quality resulting in the precise microstructured surfaces.

With the increasing demand for plastic micro components, micro-/nano-molding using the mother stamper has received much attention. If the replication temperature is too high, the adhesion between the stamper and the polymer melt may deteriorate the surface quality of the replicated part, excessively wearing down the stamper. In this paper, an experimental method analyzes the temperature dependency of the anti-adhesion property between the actual stamper with patterns of sub-micrometer and the polymer melt. As a practical example, a correlation between the contact angle of the stamper and the surface quality of the molded substrates as a function of the replication temperature, respectively, was obtained quantitatively.

Internal marketing has been suggested as the approach for service organizations to be service-and customer-oriented; and the issues of internal service quality has been one of topics widely discussed in the internal marketing literature. While previous studies have attempted to develop the instrument assessing the internal service quality, ISQB(internal service Quality battery) developed by Kang et al.(2002), compared to other instruments have received some attention given its rigorous approach to measure the internal service quality. However, it has been noted that the validity of ISQB does not appear to be thoroughly examined while the reliability of the instrument seems to be secured. The current study attempts to readdress the psychometric properties of ISQB through the replication of the instrument. The empirical testing including confirmatory factor analysis and correlational analyses show that the instrument is reliable and valid in terms of its discriminant and nomological validity.
