  • 플래시 메모리 (flash memory)는 DRAM(dynamic racdom access memory)이나 SRAM(static random access memory)에 비해 소자의 구조가 매우 단순하기 때문에 집적도가 높아서 기기의 소형화가 가능하다는 점과 제조비용이 낮다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 전원을 차단하면 정보가 사라지는 DRAM이나 SRAM과 달리 전원이 꺼지더라도 저장된 정보가 지워지지 않는다는 특징을 가지고 있어서 ROM(read only memory)과 정보의 입출력이 자유로운 RAM의 장점을 동시에 가지기 때문에 활용도가 크다. 또한, 속도가 빠르고 소비전력이 작아서 USB 드라이브, 디지털 TV, 디지털 캠코더, 디지털 카메라, 휴대전화, 개인용 휴대단말기, 게임기 및 MP3 플레이어 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, 낸드(NAND)형의 플래시 메모리는 고집적이 가능하며 하드디스크를 대체할 수 있어 고집적 음성이나 화상 등의 저장용으로 많이 쓰이며 일정량의 정보를 저장해두고 작업해야 하는 휴대형 기기에도 적합하며 가격도 노어(NOR)형에 비해 저렴하다는 장점을 가진다. 최근에는 smart watch, wearable device 등과 같은 차세대 디스플레이 소자에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라 투명하고 유연한 메모리 소자에 대한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있으며 유리나 플라스틱과 같은 기판 위에서 투명한 플래시 메모리를 형성하는 기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 전하트랩형 (charge trap type) 플래시 메모리는 플로팅 게이트형 플래시 메모리와는 다르게 정보를 절연막 층에 저장하므로 인접 셀간의 간섭이나 소자의 크기를 줄일 수 있기 때문에 투명하고 유연한 메모리 소자에 적용이 가능한 차세대 플래시 메모리로 기대되고 있다. 전하트랩형 플래시메모리는 정보를 저장하기 위하여 tunneling layer, trap layer, blocking layer의 3층으로 이루어진 게이트 절연막을 가진다. 전하트랩 플래시 메모리는 게이트 전압에 따라서 채널의 전자가 tunnel layer를 통해 trap layer에 주입되어 정보를 기억하게 되는데, trap layer에 주입된 전자가 다시 채널로 빠져나가는 charge loss 현상이 큰 문제점으로 지적된다. 따라서 tunnel layer의 막질향상을 위한 다양한 열처리 방법들이 제시되고 있으며, 기존의 CTA (conventional thermal annealing) 방식은 상대적으로 높은 온도와 긴 열처리 시간을 가지고, RTA (rapid thermal annealing) 방식은 매우 높은 열처리 온도를 필요로 하기 때문에 플라스틱, 유리와 같은 다양한 기판에 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 열처리 방식보다 에너지 전달 효율이 높고, 저온공정 및 열처리 시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 마이크로웨이브 열처리(microwave irradiation, MWI)를 도입하였다. Tunneling layer, trap layer, blocking layer를 가지는 MOS capacitor 구조의 전하트랩형 플래시 메모리를 제작하여 CTA, RTA, MWI 처리를 실시한 다음, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 마이크로웨이브 열처리를 실시한 메모리 소자는 CTA 처리한 소자와 거의 동등한 정도의 우수한 전기적인 특성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, MWI를 이용하면 tunnel layer의 막질을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라, thermal budget을 크게 줄일 수 있어 차세대 투명하고 유연한 메모리 소자 제작에 큰 기여를 할 것으로 예상한다.

  • Current sensors are used widely in the fields of current control, monitoring, and measuring. They have become more popular with the increasing demand for smart grids in a power network, generation of renewable energy, electric cars, and hybrid cars. Although open loop Hall effect current sensors have merits, such as low cost, small size, and weight, they have low accuracy. This paper describes the design and fabrication of a 300A open loop current sensor that has high accuracy and temperature performance. The core of the current sensor was calculated numerically and the signal conditioning circuits were designed using circuit analysis software. The characteristics of the manufactured open loop current sensor of 300 A class was measured at currents up to 300 A. According to the test of the current sensor, the accuracy error and linearity error were 0.75% and 0.19%, respectively. When the temperature compensation was carried out with the relevant circuit, the temperature coefficients were less than $0.012%/^{\circ}C$ at temperatures between $-25^{\circ}C$ and $85^{\circ}C$.

  • Open-type current sensors have been commonly used for DC motor controller, AC variable controller and Uninterruptible Power Supply. Recently they have begun to be used more widely, as the growth of renewable energy and smart-grid in power system. Considering most of the open-type current sensors are imported, developing the core technology needed to produce open-type current sensors is required. This paper describes the development and test results of open-type current sensors. Design of C type magnetic core, selection and test of a Hall sensor, design of current source circuit and signal conditioning circuit are described. 100A class DIP(Dual In-line Package) type and SMD(Surface Mount Devide) type open-type current sensors was made and tested. Test results show that the developed open-type current sensor satisfies the accuracy requirement of 2% and linearity requirement of 2% at 100 A of DC and AC current of 60Hz. Temperature compensation was carried out by using a temperature compensation circuit with NTC(Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor and the effect of the temperature compensation are described.

  • This study investigated verbal and physical interactions which appeared in collaborative science concept learning using augmented reality. Twelve 10th grade students participated in this study. After being organized into three four-member small groups, they participated in classes using smart device-based augmented reality application developed for the understanding of the chemical bonding concept. Their class activities were audio- and video-taped. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted. The results revealed that within individual statement units of verbal interaction, the proportions of information question/explanation and direction question/explanation were found to be high. Within interaction units, the proportions of reformative and cumulative interaction were relatively high. The proportions of progress were also found to be high within both individual statement units and interaction units of verbal interaction. Students' physical interactions were mainly conducted without meaningful verbal interactions. When their physical interactions were accompanied by knowledge construction-related verbal interactions, the proportions of gazing virtual objects and worksheet-related interactions were high. In contrast, various exploratory activities related to the manipulation of markers mainly appeared when they conducted physical interactions only, or when their physical interactions were accompanied by management-related verbal interactions. On the bases of the results, effective methods for collaborative concept learning using augmented reality in science education are discussed.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the unstable plate system for the advanced balance ability. 7 male volunteers (age $33.7{\pm}1.2$ years, height $174.7{\pm}3.8cm$, weight $86.0{\pm}3.6kg$, BMI $28.2{\pm}2.0kg/m^2$) performed the partial squat motion on the shape of CAP type(${\cap}$) and BOWL type(${\cup}$) plate system. The range of motion (ROM) and muscle activation were acquired by the motion analysis system and the EMG system. Results of ROMs of the CAP type plate system were shown the widely range of the deviation in the ankle joint on the sagittal plane (sagittal plane - hip joint $10.7^{\circ}$ > $5.4^{\circ}$, knee joint $16.3^{\circ}$ > $6.4^{\circ}$, ankle joint $18.8^{\circ}$ > $6.3^{\circ}$ ; transverse plane - hip joint $3.5^{\circ}$ > $1.8^{\circ}$, knee joint $5.3^{\circ}$ > $3.4^{\circ}$, ankle joint $11.3^{\circ}$ > $5.3^{\circ}$ ; frontal plane - hip joint $0.9^{\circ}$ > $0.5^{\circ}$, knee joint $0.8^{\circ}$ > $0.6^{\circ}$, ankle joint $4.8^{\circ}$ > $3.7^{\circ}$). Muscle activation results of the CAP type plate system were indicated higher in major muscles for balance performance than the BOWL type plate system (vastus lateralis 0.90 > 0.62, peroneus longus 0.49 > 0.21, biceps femoris 0.38 > 0.14, gastrocnemius 0.11 > 0.05). These findings may indicate that the CAP type plate system would expect better effectiveness in perform the balance training. This paper is primary study for developing balance skills enhancement training device.

  • The study figured out the operational conditions of a two-way movement actuator made of one-way shape memory alloy (OWSMA) for versatile ventilation intelligent garments. To develop a low-power actuator that consumes energy only when a garment changes its form such as opening and closing, multiple channels of OWSMA were used, and optimum diameter of the wires was examined. For the switch device, optimum voltage application unit time was determined. Optimum diameter of OWSMA wire was determined by applying 3.7V to the pre-determined candidate diameters, which demonstrated two-way operation in previous studies. In order to evaluate the optimum voltage application time, the internal diameter of the actuator was measured while increasing and decreasing by 50 ms from the unit time of voltage application. Delay time under two-way operation of the actuator was measured to minimize interference caused by heat between channels. Power of 3.7V was applied to OWSMA for assessment of optimal time, and the whole process from heating to cooling was video-recorded with a thermal image camera to determine the point of time at which the temperature of OWSMA wire dropped below the phase transformation temperature. The results showed that $0.4{\Phi}$ was the most suitable diameter, and the optimum unit time of voltage applied to open and close the actuator was 4100ms. It was also shown that the delay time should be more than 1.8 seconds between two-way operations of the actuator.

  • Recently, traditional books based on printing on the paper have expanded to e-book media in smart device because of developing digital technology. Especially, app book applied application makes users' experience increase and provides immersion to them, because it allows them basically delivering information, educational effect and fun elements with multimedia technology. There are various experimental trials to make enhance effect of reformatting for application media. The purpose of this study is to analyze reformatting effect for app book with funology which is convergence of digital technology and a fun. Then this article would provide design guide and be applied to new application contents. For this research, the first of all, we would discuss concept and elements of funology by publication including thesis, articles, and books. Secondly, this article will be focused on 'Moo, Baa, La La La!' which is reformatting application for iPad to analyze type of funology. Thirdly, we would make sure that app book makes users get emotional effect comparing original book by FGI(Focus Group Interview). In conclusion, sensitive funology used the sound allows user emotional effect and they prefer to intuitive and immediate motion and response of interactive funology. In other way, funology of fun in itself which is strong concept in original book diminishes in app book. Then users concentrate interactive factors like game structure. This results make that app books could be created by strength of original contents and advantage of funology. Therefore this makes us expect the possibility of reformatting effect with funology and we need to discuss the points of issue that there are considerations and limitations to successful app book for users.

  • As the technology in smart device is growing and Social Network Services(SNS) are becoming more common, the data which is difficult to be processed by existing RDBMS are increasing. As a result of this, NoSQL databases are getting popular as an alternative for processing massive and unstructured data generated in real time. The demand for the technique of digital investigation of NoSQL databases is increasing as the businesses introducing NoSQL database in their system are increasing, although the technique of digital investigation of databases has been researched centered on RDMBS. New techniques of digital forensic investigation are needed as NoSQL Database has no schema to normalize and the storage method differs depending on the type of database and operation environment. Research on document-based database of NoSQL has been done but it is not applicable as itself to other types of NoSQL Database. Therefore, the way of operation and data model, grasp of operation environment, collection and analysis of artifacts and recovery technique of deleted data in HBase which is a NoSQL column-based database are presented in this paper. Also the proposed technique of digital forensic investigation to HBase is verified by an experimental scenario.

  • 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ PnpN optical thyristor as a smart optical switch has potential applications in advanced optical communication systems. PnpP optical thyristors operating at 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ are proposed and fabricated for the first time. In the optical thyristors, we employ InGaAs/InP multiple quantum well (MQW) for the active n- and p-layers. The thyristors show sufficiently nonlinear s-shape I-V characteristics and spontaneous emission. In the OFF-state, the device has a high-impedance up to switching voltage of 4.03(V). On the other hand, it has low-impedance and emits spontaneous light as a light-emitting diode in the ON-state voltage of 1.77(V), and switching voltage is changed under several light input conditions. It can be used as a header processor in optical asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), as a hard limiter in optical code division multiple access (CDMA) and as a wavelength converter in optical WDM systems.
