The technology and market size of image sensors continue to develop thanks to the release of image sensors that exceed 100 million pixels in 2019 and expansion of black box camera markets for vehicles in addition to existing mobile applications. We review the technology flow of image sensors that have been constantly evolving for 40 years since Hitachi launched a 200,000-pixel image sensor in 1979. Although CCD has made inroads into image sensor market for a while based on good picture quality, CMOS image sensor (CIS) with active pixels has made inroads into the market as semiconductor technology continues to develop, since the electrons generated by the incident light are converted to the electric signals in the pixel, and the power consumption is low. CIS image sensors with superior characteristics such as high resolution, high sensitivity, low power consumption, low noise and vivid color continue to be released as the new technologies are incorporated. At present, new types of structures such as Backside Illumination and Isolation Cell have been adopted, with better sensitivity and high S/N ratio. In the future, new photoconductive materials are expected to be adopted as a light absorption part in place of the pn junction.

Mussel byssus is a bundle of threads used to attach mussels to wet substrates. Recently, a thin cuticle layer on the byssus has attracted public attentions due to its remarkable toughness - stiff as epoxy resin and extensible as rubber. Here, we observed ultrastructure of the cuticle layer in a far eastern mussel (Mytilus coruscus) to understand underlying mechanisms for the mechanical properties. The cuticle layer observed by TEM was composed of submicron-sized granular inclusions in a continuous matrix phase. In addition, ultrastructural study in the presence of tertiary amine (Tetraethylammonium, TEA) showed an evidence that the cuticle is stabilized by cation-${\pi}$ interaction.

This paper introduces our research results of SDN/SON-based emergeny communications system for nuclear power plant under extreme natural diaster like Fukusima nuclear power plant incident. In such a extreme situation, nuclear power plant operational staffs which do not have technical knowledge of network provisioning and operations have to deploy the emergency network. Thus our proposed system provides capabilities to provision an emergency network autonomically and enable voice and data services. It also describes our PoC system developed based on the proposed core technology and architecture with the results of system verification testing.

With the expansion of domestic hydrogen fuelling station infrastructure, it is necessary to secure reliability among hydrogen traders, and for this, technology to accurately measure hydrogen is important. In this study, 4 types of hydrogen trading volume calculation models (model 1-4) were presented to improve the accuracy of the hydrogen trading volume. In order to obtain the reference value of model 4, and experiment was conducted using a flow rate measurement equipment, and the error rate of the calculated value for each model was compared and analyzed. As a result, model 1 had the lowest metering accuracy, model 2 had the second highest metering accuracy and model 3 had the highest metering accuracy until a certain point. But after the point, model 2 had the highest metering accuracy and model 3 had the second metering accuracy.
