Due to the increase of the need for reliable high density information storage devices, the demand for precise machining of the slider in HDD is rapidly growing. The present fabrication process of slider bears some serious problems such as low yield ratio in mass production, which is mainly caused by inefficient machining processes in shaping camber and crown on the slider. In order to increase slider yield ratio in HDD, a new systematic machining process is proposed and developed in this work. This new machining process includes the use of magnetorheological (MR) fluid, a smart polishing material generally used for ultra-fine surface finishing of micro structures. It is shown that the process proposed in this work enables to make camber and crown pattern in the scale of few tens of nanometers. Experiment results shows that the MR polishing can be also used for shaping process of micro structures.

In metal cutting chatter is the unstable cutting phenomenon which caused by the interaction between the dynamics of the chip removal process and the structural dynamics of machine tool. When the vibration and chatter on, it reduces tool life and results in poor surface roughness and low productivity of the machining process. In order to observe the effect of chatter on the turned surface, the surface simulation model based on the surface-shaping system are developed under the ideal condition and the occurrence of the regenerative chatter, and it is compared with experiment of profile. In this study, the experiments were conducted in a CNC lathe without cutting fluid to investigate the phenomenon of the chatter.

In metal cutting, chatter is an unstable cutting phenomenon which is due to the interaction of the dynamics of the chip removal process and the structural dynamics of machine tool. When chatter occurs, it reduces tool life and results in poor surface roughness and low productivity of the machining process. In this study, the experiments have been conducted to investigate phenomenon of the chatter in CNC lathe without cutting fluid. In the experiments, two accelerometers were attached at the tail stock and tool holder and the signals were caught. In order to observe the effect of chatter on the surface roughness profiles, surface roughness profiles were generated under the ideal condition and the occurrence of the chatter based on the surface simulation model using surface-shaping system. Finally, the result of experiment and simulation have been compared.

In curing Process of tire, Contact and slip occurs between green tire and curing bladder. The curing process is a critical step in the manufacture of tires. In this investigation, curing bladder shaping is examined using a finite element method. Specifically, a finite element model between the inner part of green tire and the outer part of curing bladder is generated using contact element and curing bladder is generated using incompressible element, The experimental tensile tests are used to get the material properties of bladder rubber on practical conditions. Numerical analyses are performed on two different bladder types, different overall outer diameters of curing bladder and different heights of curing bladder.

In metal cutting operation, it is very important that predict cutting force and work surface. Vibration is an unstable cutting phenomenon which is due to the interaction of the dynamics of the chip removal process and the structural dynamics of machine tool. When vibration on, it reduces tool life, results in poor surface roughness and low productivity of the machining process. In this study, the experiments were conducted in machining center without cutting fluid to investigate the phenomenon of vibration. In the experiments, accelerometers were set up at the tail stock and tool holder and signals were picked up. Surface roughness profiles are generated under the ideal condition and the occurrence of vibration based on the surface shaping simulation model.

In this paper, we developed the process for depth-probe type silicon microelectrode arrays. The process consists of four mask steps only. The steps are for defining sites, windows, and for shaping probe using plasma etch from above, and for shaping using wet etch from below, respectively. The probe thickness is controlled by dry etching, not by impurity diffusion. We used gold electrodes with a triple dielectric system consisting of oxide/nitride/oxide. The shank of the probe taper from 200um to tens of urn tip and has 30 um thickness.

This paper presents a switched self-biasing and a tail current-shaping technique to suppress the 1/f noise from a tail current source in differential cross-coupled inductance-capacitance (LC) voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). The proposed LC VCO has an amplitude control characteristic due to the creation of negative feedback for the oscillation waveform amplitude. It is fabricated using a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. The measured phase noise is -117 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset from a 4.85 GHz carrier frequency, while it draws 6.5 mA from a 0.6 V supply voltage. For frequency tuning, process variation, and temperature change, the amplitude change rate of the oscillation waveform in the proposed VCO is 2.1 to 3.2 times smaller than that of an existing VCO with a fixed bias. The measured amplitude change rate of the oscillation waveform for frequency tuning from 4.55 GHz to 5.04 GHz is 131 pV/Hz.

The accidents are often resulted from multiple causes with hardware failure and human errors. So to ensure the safety of rail operation, human error should be prevented effectively. The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis system on factors of influencing human error in korean rail industry especially for engine driver and train despatcher. To achieve it, ESFs(error shaping factors) classification system was derived from several PSFs(performance shaping factors) classification system. Based on them, two kinds of questionnaires for engine driver and train despatcher each were developed. Then Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology was used to evaluate what factors were critical to human error.
