We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment material of a-C:H thin film by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system for 30 sec under 30W rf power at a gas pressure of 1.4＊10$\^$-1/ torr. A high pretilt angle of about 5 by ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface was measured. A good LC alignment by the ion beam alignment method on the a-C:H thin film surface was observed at annealing temperature of 250$^{\circ}C$, and the alignment defect of NLC was observed above annealing temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the high LC pretilt angle and the good thermal stability of LC alignment by the ion beam alignment method on the a-C:H thin film by PECVD method as working gas at 30W rf bias condition can be achieved.

A modular Gaussian beam model is developed to simulate some ultrasonic testing configurations where multiple interfaces are involved. A general formulation is given in a modular matrix form to represent the Gaussian beam propagation with multiple interfaces. The ultrasonic transducer fields are modeled by a multi-Gaussian beam model which is formed by superposing 10 single Gaussian beams. The proposed model, referred to as "MMGB" (modular multi-Gaussian beam) model, is then applied to a typical contact and angle beam testing configuration to predict the output signal reflected from the corner of a vertical crack. The resulting expressions given in a modular matrix form are implemented in a personal computer using the MATLAB program. Simulation results are presented and compared with available experimental results.

Analytical models for the prediction of the size of hardened zone in laser surface hardening are presented. The models are based on the solutions to the problem of three-dimensional heat flow in plates with infinite thickness. The validity of the model was tested on medium carbon steel for Gaussian mode of beam. Then the model for rectagular beam was used for the predicition of the size of hardened zone on various hardening process parameters. From the calculation results it appeared that the size and shape of the hardened zone are strongly dependent on process parameters such as beam mode, beam size, and traverse speed.

This study was performed to evaluate basic characteristics of electron beam welding process for a 9% Ni steel plate. The principal welding process parameters, such as working distance, accelerating voltage, beam current and welding speed were investigated. The AB (Arata Beam) test method was also applied to characterize beam size and energy density of the electron beam welding process. The electron beam size was found to decrease with the increase of accelerating voltage and the decrease of working distance. So, in case of high voltage (150kV), spot size and energy density of electron beam were revealed to be 0.9mm and $6.5\times10^5W/\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively. The accelerating voltage among the welding parameters was found to be the most important factor governing the penetration depth. When the accelerating voltage of electron beam was low ($\leq$90kV), beam current and welding speed did not affect on the penetration depth significantly. However, in case of high voltage ($\geq$120kV), the depth of penetration increased very sensitively with the increase of beam current and the decrease of welding speed.

A new off-surface visualization method of using the micro water droplet and laser beam sheet was presented. About a size of 5 to TEX>$10\mu\textrm{m}$ micro water droplet could be made from home-style ultrasonic humidifier, A 3 W Argon ion laser and cylindrical lens were used to generate a laser beam sheet, which interrogate specific cross section of the vortical flow field. Application of this new visualization method was conducted in KAFA small-sized low speed wind tunnel of having the test section of 0TEX>$0.9 m(W){\times}$0.9 m(H){\times}2.1 m(L)$$$. Visualization results show this method relatively easy and safe flow visualization method for wind tunnel testing. Moreover, this method is also make up for the disadvantage of smoke visualization, and can be applied to higher flow velocity range than that of smoke visualization.

Dentin hypersensitivity must be one of the most frequent postoperative complaints in periodontal patients. Obliterating the open dentinal tubules or decreasing the diameter of their orifices would, therefore, be an objective of treatment for hypersensitive teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation on obliteration of dentinal tubules and to determine any difference according to irradiation methods. The 45 posterior teeth that had been extracted due to periodontal disease were initially treated with tetracycline HCI(100 mg/ml, 4 min.) to remove the smear layer after root planing. The root surfaces were then irradiated by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser(EL.EN.EN060, Italy) by different laser beam spot size and different exposure condition: ${\cdot}$ group 1: irradiated group by small spot(beam diameter=1mm, lW, 2 sec) ${\cdot}$ group 2: irradiated group by large spot(beam diameter=10mm, 1W, 200 sec) ${\cdot}$ group 3: irradiated group by gradual increase of watt (from 0.3W to 1.0W), beam diameter=4mm ${\cdot}$ group 4: irradiated group by fixed watt(1.0 W), beam diameter=4mm ${\cdot}$ control group: no irradiation but root planing and tetracycline HCI conditioning only. Additionally, the specimens were retreated with tetracycline HCI(100mg/ml, 4min.) to evaluate the stability of obliteration effect by Nd:YAG laser. Specimens were examined under the scanning electron microscope(JEOL, JSM-840A, Japan). Photomicrographs were taken at ${\times}4,000$ magnification and were analyzed statistically. The results were as follows: l. Scanning electron micrographs of root surface treated by tetracycline HCI alone(control group) showed widened, funnel-shaped dentinal tubules, while those of the root surface irradiated by various methods showed partially or completely obliterated dentinal tubules and various surface alterations, eg, flat, multiple pitted, melted and resolidified surface at the same energy density. 2. There was no significant difference in the obliteration effect of dentinal tubules between group 1 and group 2, and between group 3 and group 4(p>0.05). 3. The obliteration effect of dentinal tubules by a Nd:YAG laser irradiation was relatively stable to tetracycline HCI. The results demonstrate that a pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation within 1.0W, regardless of irradiation methods, can obliterate dentinal tubules effectively.

We report our development of the fabrication process of sub-micron scale $Al-AlO_x-Al$ tunnel junction by using electron-beam lithography and double-angle shadow evaporation technique. We used double-layer resist to construct a suspended bridge structure, and double-angle electron-beam evaporation to form a sub-micron scale overlapped junction. We adopted an e-beam insensitive resist as a bottom sacrificing layer. Tunnel barrier was formed by oxidation of the bottom aluminum layer between the bottom and top electrode deposition, which was done in a separate load-lock chamber. The junction resistance is designed and controlled to be 50 $\Omega$ to match the impedance of the transmission line. The junctions will be used in the broadband shot noise thermometry experiment, which will serve as a link between the electrical unit and the thermodynamic unit.

In manufacturing of welded parts which require a proof on acceptance close observation of the process is mandatory. The manufacturer is obliged to document the welding process. An approach for monitoring and recording the process of laser beam welding combining theoretical knowledge, process monitoring and welding experience will be presented. The range of application of a device for co-axial process monitoring was extended up to 20 mm sheet thickness welded in one pass at beam powers of up to 20 kW. Crucial features of the process which refer to the formation of failures were observed. The results presented give rise to the general applicability of the approach for process monitoring and recording as well as failure management.

One of the important problems in recent AC-PDP technology is the image sticking. In this research, we have investigated the PDP cell with constraint deposition MgO on phosphor, the electrical and optical properties in the PDP cell were examined. Also, we have investigated the correlation with image sticking and degraded MgO protective layer, phosphor in AC-PDP. As a result, we measured the secondary electron emission coefficient ${\gamma}$, discharge characteristics and Brightness for the constraint degraded phosphor are compared with those of nondegraded phosphor.
