In conventional LEDs, a mesa-structure is usually used and it causes the current to be overcrowded in a specific region. We propose a novel structure of GaN-based LED to overcome this problem. In order to distribute the current in an active region, a spreading pad is inserted at the p-type region in the GaN based LED device. The inserted spreading pad helps the current flow because it is more conductive than the p-type GaN layer. By performing electrical and optical simulations, the effects of the spreading pad insertion are confirmed. The results of electrical simulation show that the current spreads more uniformly and more radiative recombination is produced as well. Moreover, from the optical simulation, it is revealed that the ITO is less absorptive material than p-GaN if the condition of specific wavelength sources is satisfied. Considering all of the results, we can conclude that the luminescent power is enhanced by the spreading pad.

GaN LED의 p-패드 금속과 에피층 사이에 $SiO_2$ 전류 절연 층을 제작하고, p-전극 금속의 패턴을 핑거(finger) 형태로 확장하여 형성함으로써, 대면적 고출력 소자에서 전류가 균일하게 퍼지도록 유도함과 동시에 p 패드 금속 표면에서의 광 손실을 줄여 광 출력을 증진시켰다. $SiO_2$ 절연 층의 면적과 두께를 다르게 하면서 광 출력의 증가를 비교 확인하였고, 실바코 사의 ATLAS 툴을 이용하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 실시함으로써 LED 내 활성 층에서의 전류 밀도 분포를 계산하였다. $SiO_2$ 절연 층의 두께가 $50{\mu}m$와 $100{\mu}m$ 인 두 경우 모두, p 패드의 직경이 $105{\mu}m$이고 핑거의 폭은 $12{\mu}m$인 경우와 비교할 때, p 패드의 직경이 $100{\mu}m$이고 핑거의 폭이 $6{\mu}m$인 경우가 더 높은 광 출력 특성을 나타냈다.

Background Many methods have been proposed for the correction of sunken upper eyelids. These methods include surgical treatments, such as micro-fat, dermofat, or fascia-fat grafts, or the use of alloplastic materials. Here, we present our experience of sunken upper eyelid correction involving the simple addition of anchoring the central fat pad to the medial fat pad during upper blepharoplasty. Methods We performed 74 cases of upper blepharoplasty with sunken upper eyelid correction between October 2013 and September 2014. The lateral portion of the central fat pad was partially dissected to facilitate anchoring. The medial fat pad was gently exposed and then pulled out to facilitate anchoring. After the rotation of the dissected lateral portion of the central fat pad by $180^{\circ}$ to the medial side, it was anchored spreading to the medial fat pad. Photographs taken at 6 months postoperatively were presented to three physicians for objective assessment. Of the 74 patients, 54 patients followed at 6 months postoperatively were included in this retrospective, objective assessment. Results Sunken eyelids were effectively corrected in 51 of the 54 patients, but 3 had minimal effect because preaponeurotic fat pads had been removed during previous upper blepharoplasty. In addition to correcting sunken eyelids, lateral bulging was corrected and a better definition of the lateral portion of upper lid creases was obtained. Conclusions Anchoring the central fat pad to the medial fat pad provides an effective means of correcting sunken upper eyelids during upper blepharoplasty.

In this study, the traditional electron-blocking layer (EBL) in (In,Ga)N/GaN light-emitting diodes is replaced by a circular EBL that is the same size as the n-pad. The three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear Poisson, drift-diffusion, and continuity equations are adopted to simulate current transport in the LED and its characteristics. The results indicate that the local carrier-density distribution obtained for the circular EBL design is more uniform than that for the traditional EBL design. This improves the uniformity of local radiative recombination and local internal quantum efficiency (IQE) at high injection levels, which leads to a higher lumped IQE and lower efficiency droop. With the circular EBL, the lumped IQE is higher in the outer active region and lower in the active region under the n-pad. Since most emissions from the active region under the n-pad are absorbed by the n-pad, obviously, an LED with a circular EBL will have a higher external quantum efficiency (EQE). The results also show that this LED works at lower applied voltages.

Microsystem technology (MST) which originated from semiconductor processes has been widely spreaded into tile other industry such as sensors, micro fluidics and displays. The MST, however. has been troubled in spreading with its high cost and material limitations. So, in this paper, new process for micromolding technology using silicone rubber mold was introduced. Silicone rubber mold, which was fabricated by vacuum casting. can be transferred a master pattern to a final product with the same shape but different materials. In order to verify the possibility of application of silicone rubber mold to the MST, its transferability was evaluated. and then it applied to the fabrications of polishing pad and PDP barrier ribs.

본 논문에서는 다수의 진동 소자로 제작한 진동 패드의 촉감 효과를 알아보기 위해 실험과 설문을 통해 신체 부위별로 가장 현실감이 뛰어난 진동 패턴을 제시한다. 실험 방법은 $4{\times}4$ 배열 형태의 16개의 진동 소자를 이용하여 진동 패드를 제작하였다. 8비트 마이크로프로세서를 통하여 각 진동 소자의 떨림 여부와 강도를 제어하며, 게임에서 자주 사용되는 음향 효과인 총소리에 의해 자동으로 다양한 진동 패턴을 생성하여 신체 각 부위에 여러 가지 패턴의 촉감 자극을 추어 그 현실감 정도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과의 분석을 통하여 진동 패드를 사용하는 것이 사격 게임에서의 현실감이 좋으며, 어깨 부위가 가장 현실감 있는 부위임을 확인하였다. 또한 실험한 네 가지 패턴 중 안쪽에서 바깥쪽으로 퍼지는 느낌의 실험 패턴 형태가 가장 효과적인 것으로 측정되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 신체 부위와 진동 패턴에 의한 촉감 효과와의 상관관계에 대한 사용자 실험으로서, 진동으로 촉감을 제공하는 햅틱스 분야의 연구를 위한 중요한 참조가 될 것이다.

Components derived from an infected lesion within the bone can spread through various passages in the mandible, particularly via the mental foramen. Radiologically, the spread of infection is typically nonspecific and challenging to characterize; however, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) can effectively detect pathological changes in soft tissues and the bone marrow space. This report describes the case of a 55-year-old woman who experienced mental nerve paresthesia due to a periapical infection of the right mandibular second premolar. MSCT imaging revealed increased attenuation around the periapical lesion extending into the mandibular canal and loss of the juxta-mental foraminal fat pad. Following endodontic treatment of the tooth suspected to be the source of the infection, the patient's symptoms resolved, and the previous MSCT imaging findings were no longer present. Increased bone marrow attenuation and obliteration of the fat plane in the buccal aspect of the mental foramen may serve as radiologic indicators of inflammation spreading from the bone marrow space.

최근 모바일 디바이스와 휴대기기의 발달로 원격접속이 늘어남에 따라 보안의 중요성도 점차 증가되었다. 그러나 기존 패스워드나 패턴과 같은 보안 프로그램은 지나치게 단순할 뿐 아니라 다른 사용자가 쉽게 취득하여 악용할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 생체인식을 활용한 보안 시스템은 보안성이 강화 되었지만 위조 및 변조가 가능하기 때문에 완전한 해결책을 제시하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 지문인식과 패스워드를 결합하여 보안성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 연구하였다. 제안한 시스템은 하나의 지문이 아니라 다수의 지문을 이용하는 방법으로, 사용자가 패스워드를 입력할 때 여러 지문 중에서 정확한 지문의 순서를 제공하도록 한다. 오늘날 스마트폰은 패스워드나 패턴, 지문을 이용할 수 있지만 패스워드의 강도가 낮거나 패턴이 쉽게 노출되는 등의 문제가 있다. 반면에 제안한 시스템은 다양한 지문의 이용과 패스워드의 연계, 또는 다른 생체인식 시스템과 연결함으로써 매우 강력한 보안장치가 될 수 있다.
