A model for predicting the relative density and the compressive strength of open-cell ceramics with three-dimensional network structure was proposed through the interpretation of their macrostructure and fracture mechanics. The equation predicting the relative density was derived under the assumption that the open-cell structure was a periodic array of the tetrakaidecahedron unit cell consisting of cylindrical struts containing the internal hollow with the shape of a triangular prism. The model for compressive strength of open-cell ceramics with the hollow strut was also developed by modifying conventional model which based on fracture behavior of them subjected to the compressive stress. Both the relative density and the compressive strength were expressed in terms of the ratio of the strut diameter to the length together with the ratio of the hollow size to the strut diameter. The proposed model for the relative density and the compressive strength of the alumina-zirconia composite with open-cell structure were accorded well with the experimental values, whereas Gibson-Ashby and Zhang's model did not show such a good agreement.

This paper proposes the hybrid fuel cell system that can solve disadvantages of existing fuel cell system and ensure high reliability and high stability. The system consists of PEM fuel cell, Ni-MH battery and power management system. In this system, when the power provided from the fuel cell is higher than the load power, the extra energy may be used to charge the Ni-MH battery. When the fuel cell can not provide enough energy to the load, the shortage of energy will be supplied by the Ni-MH battery. Experimental results show that the output voltage is regulated well during load variations. Also, high system efficiency is achieved.

In superconductive digital logic circuits, D2 cells can be used to compose a decoder an important component of an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). In this wor, we simulated D2 cell by using WRspice. D2 cell has one input, one switch input, and two outputs (output1 and output2). D2 cell functions in such way that output1 follows the input and output2 is the complement of the input data, when the switch input is "0, ". However, when there is a switch input "1, " the opposite output signals are generated. In this paper, we optimized a D2 cell by using WRspice, and obtained the minimum margin of 26%. Our optimized D2 cell will play a key role in the ALU fabrication.the ALU fabrication.

The demand for automatic manufacturing systems is increasing. Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS) is usually considered as a soluting for the shop floor automation. One of the difficulties in FMS is the communications problem. Since various machineries with different communications protocoles are included, applying a unified scheme is almost impossible. Therefore, a systematic approach is a key point to solve the communication problem. A cell is difined as an automation unit where closely related for a job reside together. A cell is a messenger between upper level computers and lower level machine equipment. In this research, the fonctions of the cell are defined to have more capabilities than conventional cells since a cell can be often a total manufacturing system is a small to medium sized factory. The cell conducts communications with different machines through the communications schemes established here. A set of software system has been developed according to the defined communication. The software has been tested for a simulation and real experiments for proof.

This paper describes the CMOS standard cell library implemented in double metal single poly gate process with 3\ulcornerm design rule, and its results of testing. This standard cell library contains total 33 cells of random logic gates, flip-flop gates and input/output buffers. All of cell was made to have the equal height of 98\ulcornerm, and width in multiple constant grid of 9 \ulcornerm. For cell data base, the electric characteristics of each cell is investigated and delay is characterized in terms of fanout. As the testing results of Ring Oscillator among the cell library, the average delay time for Inverter is 1.05 (ns), and the delay time due to channel routing metal is 0.65(ps)per unit length.

In this study, the stacking phase shift effect on the effective property and stress distribution was investigated for 8-harness satin weave textile composites under uni-axial tension. Textile configurations with varied phase shifts were modeled by unit cells and repeating boundary conditions were applied at the outer periodic surfaces. The effective property and stress were calculated by the unit cell analysis using macro-element to reduce the computational resource. It was found that stresses were dependent on the variation of tow arrangement of adjacent layers. The in-phase and the shifted configurations showed large differences in the stress distribution pattern. The stress level was very high in the resin region and the distribution of the maximum stresses was widely scattered.

This paper presents a metamaterial absorber unit sell structure with four-element electric-LC resonators (ELC). In order to enhance the operating bandwidth of the proposed absorber unit cell two pairs of ELC resonators with a different size are used. The proposed unit cell shows negative permittivity and permeability when the electric field is parallel to the capacitive gap and the magnetic field is normal to the plane of ELC resonator. The simulated results show peak absorbance over 90% at two frequencies of 8.53 and 9.08 GHz, respectively.

The recombinant alanine dehydrogenase (ADH) from E. coli containing Thermus caldophilus ADH was purified to homogeneity from a cell-free extract. The enzyme was purified 38-fold with a yield of 68% from the starting cell-free extract. The purified enzyme gave a single band in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and its molecular weight was estimated to be 45 kDa. The pH optimum was 8.0 for reductive amination of pyruvate and 12.0 for oxidative deamination of L-alanine. The enzyme was stable up to $70^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by 1 mM $Zn^{2+}$, 20% hexane, and 20% $CHCl_3$. However, 10 mM $Mg^{2+}$ and 40% propanol had no effect on the enzyme activity. The Michaelis constants ($K_m$) for the substrates were $50\;\mu\textrm{M}$ for NADH, 0.2 mM for pyruvate, 39.4 mM for $NH_4+$, 2.6 mM for L-alanine, and 1.8 mM for $NAD^+$.

The objective in here is to find the density, stiffness, and strength of truss-wall rectangular (TWR) model which is combined with lattice truss (MLT) inside space. The TWR unit-cell model is defined as a unit cell originated from a solid-wall rectangular (SWR) model and it has an empty space inside. Thus, the empty space inside of the TWR is filled with lattice truss model defined as TWR-MLT. The ideal solutions derived of TWR-MLT are based on TWR with MLT model and it has developed by Gibson-Ashby's theory. To validate the ideal solutions of the TWR-MLT, ABAQUS software is applied to predict the density, strength, and stiffness, and then each of them are compared with the Gibson-Ashby's ideal solution as a log-log scale. Applied material property is stainless steel 304 because of cost effectiveness and easy to get around. For the analysis, SWR and TWR-MLT models are 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm truss diameter separately within a fixed 20mm opening width. In conclusion, the relative Young's modulus and relative yield strength of the TWR-MLT unit model is reasonably matched to the ideal expectations of the Gibson-Ashby's theory. In nearby future, TWR-MLT model can be verified by advanced technologies such as 3D printing skills.t.

Recently, products of electronic industry and related parts are required to have the thickness thinner and thinner to reduce the part weight. To go with this trend, LGP(light guide plate) of LCD-BLU(Liquid Crystal Display-Back Light Unit: It is one of kernel parts of LCD) for cell phone has the thickness of ${\sim}0.3mm$ and the battery case of cell phone has ${\sim}0.25mm$. Accordingly, high speed injection molding is required to mold products which have thinner parts. To achieve high speed injection and proper control of hydraulic unit, various design was applied to conventional injection unit. In the present paper, we concentrated on the molding stability of hydro-mechanical high speed injection machine to make an LGP of 0.3mm thickness.
