Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a comparison of reliability prediction models between MIL-HDBK-217F and Telcordia SR-332 and to analyze the reliability prediction results. Methods: The reliability of industrial tablet PC was predicted using MIL-HDBK-217F and Telcordia SR-332. To analyze the results, sensitivity analysis was conducted. Results: The reliability of MIL-HDBK-217F was predicted lower than the one of Telcordia SR-332. Considering the factors such as temperature, quality and environment, those provided reliability change of a particular part which highly contribute to the system failure. Conclusion: It is necessary to design the industrial tablet PC that consists of integrated circuits such as microprocessor and memory considering the operating temperature and quality factors.

The microstructur and LPG sensing properties of maghemite (${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$) ceramics have been studied. The acicular and fine spherical shaped iron oxide particles were sintered at below $900^{\circ}C$. The maghemite ceramics were prepared by reduction-oxidation of sintered iron oxide. With the microstructure of acicular and/or fine grains, the maghemite ceramics have good LPG sensing properties. Increased sintering temperature deteriorates the LPG sensitivity of maghemite ceramics due to the grain growth. The maghemite ceramics prepared from the mixed iron oxide, of a large amount of acicular particles and a small amount of spherical ones, have a lower LPG sensitivity than that of the acicular iron oxide ceramics. But, they seem to be of higher mechanical strength. The optimum working temperature for LPG sensing of the maghemite ceramics was found to be $300~350^{\circ}C$.

In this paper we present a new vector control scheme for induction motor. An exact knowledge of the rotor flux position is essential for a high-performance vector control. The position of the rotor flux is measured in the direct scheme or estimated in the indirect schemes. Since the estimation of the flux position requires a priori knowledge of the induction motor parameters, the indirect schemes are machine parameter dependent. The rotor resistance and stator resistance among the parameters change with temperature. Variations in the parameters of induction machine cause deterioration of both the steady state and dynamic operation of the induction motor drive. Several methods have been presented to minimize the consequences of parameter sensitivity in indirect scheme. In this paper new estimation scheme of rotor flux position is presented to eliminate sensitivity due to resistance change with temperature. Simulation results are used to verify the performance of the proposed vector control scheme.

VO2 has intensively investigated for several decades due to its interesting physical properties, including metal-insulator transition (MIT), thermochromic and thermoelectric properties, near the room temperature. And also gas and photo sensing properties of VO2 nanowires have attracted increasing research interest due to the high sensitivity and multi-sensing capability. We studied the light-induced resistance change of VO2 nanowires. In particular, we have investigated plasmonic enhancement of the photo-sensing properties of the VO2 nanowires. To select proper wavelength, we performed finite-difference time-domain simulations of electric field distribution in the VO2 nanowires attached with Ag nanoparticles. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is expected at wavelength of 560 nm. The photo-sensitivity was carefully examined as a function of the sample temperature. In the presentation, we will discuss physical origins of the photo-induced resistance change in VO2.

NASICON sensors that the NASICON electrolytes with various CaO amounts were sintered at low temperature($900^{\circ}C$), were fabricated to improve $CO_2$ sensitivity and stability in sensing behaviors. The manufactured device was shown good sensing characteristics and stability of output electromotive force at $250^{\circ}C$, comparatively low operating temperature.

The goal of the research is to study and describe a new stressed state of High Temperature Superconducting (High-Tc) YBCO Films, to create of SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) on the bases of these Films with maximal sensitivity. The experimental investigation of the stressed films grown by laser ablation method and its properties, the fabrication of the dc-SQUIDs with maximal sensitivity on the bases of the stressed YBCO films were carried out. The stressed film having the value of the critical current density $J_{c}=3{\cdot}10^{5}A/cm^{2}$ was the more stable than others.

Recently a new version of PRO-LOCA program was released. Using the program, failure probability of pipes can be evaluated considering fatigue and/or stress corrosion crack growth and the effects of various parameters on the integrity of pipes in nuclear power plants can be evaluated quantitatively. The analysis results can be used to establish an inspection plan and to examine the effects of important parameters in a maintenance plan. In this study, sensitivity analyses were performed using the program for several important parameters including sampling method, initial crack size, number of initial fabrication flaws, operation temperature, inspection interval, operation temperature and nominal applied bending stress. The effect of parameters on the leak and rupture probability of pipes was evaluated due to fatigue or stress corrosion crack growth.

The maleate copolyrner($C_{18}MA-VE_2$) is used as sensitive materials and deposited on the slide-glass substrates at room temperature using Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. The results of current-time(1-t) measurements are performed to investigate the gas-detection characteristics of the sensitive LB films in the presence of organic gases just as chloroform, acetone, ethanol, methanol using the apparatus for the gas-detection measurement. Several interesting responses are observed at room temperature, such as reversible response, sensitivity and response time. Response time and sensitivities are evaluated 160~220[sec], minimum 6[times], maximum 70[times] for each organic gas by adsorption and penetration of the organic gases in the relation concentration of 100[%], respectively.

Pd doped $SnO_2$ thin film sensors were prepared on alumina substrate by rf magnetron sputtering method. The sensitivity of thin film was investigated by varying the heat-treatment temperature, film thickness and gas species. The thin film heat-treated at 600$^{\circ}C$ and film thickness of 5000${\AA}$ showed the highest sensitivity at an operating temperature of 400$^{\circ}C$.

It is essential to develop a large capacity, non-contact nondestructive inspection system having high reliability to investigate repaired and strengthened structures. Nowadays, an infrared camera is widely used in non-contact nondestructive inspection system. Because an infrared camera is sensitive to the surrounding environment, it is necessary to improve a sensitivity of thermal image information and a relationship between defects and thermal image information. In this papaer, presented is an optimum void detection chart for the optimum conditions to detect infrared rays from inside and outside defects like voids and cracks in concrete structures using extensive computer simulation. Sensitivity studies are performed with respect to variables influencing the temperature distribution such as heating temperature, heating time, and geometries of defect, etc. It may be stated that it could be successfully utilized for the non-contact nondestructive inspection system to detect defects in concrete structures.
