To use the porous silicon as gas sensors, we made the MOPS structure from the porous silicon with Al evaporation and investigated the sensing characteristic of ethanol. When the MOPS structure is in contact with ethanol gas, the maximum peak of PL changes and it return to original intensity without contact. The MOPS structure had response time 0.78s and recovery time 4.13s when it is in contact with ethanol, which satisfied the required sensor standards. Further complimentary researches, however, are required to investigate the contact mechanism between MOPS structure and ethanol and to solve the surface contamination problem.

The two dimensional problem of a layered tribological system(TiN/Steel) containing a vertical surface breaking crack and subject to rolling contact is considered in this study. Using finite elements and stress extrapolation method, a series of preliminary models are developed. Preliminary results indicate that the extrapolation technique is valid to determine Modes I and II stress intensity factors for cracks. In the case of TiN/Steel medium, KI and KII were determined for variations in crack length, layer thickness, and load location. The results show that KII reaches maximum values when the contact is adjacent to the crack where Mode I stresses are compressive. KII values decrease with decreased crack length and significantly decrease for reduced layer thickness.

In the charge system, a contact type-convenient-charging method is insufficient because of the contact failure around moist environment and troublesome question to put in and pull out. For the solution of this problem, an electromagnetically coupled non-contact charger for the rechargeable cell is proposed using ZVS multi-resonant forward converter. In this paper magnetizing inductance, leakage inductance and coupling coefficient, k are observed. By using the obserbed value, the proposed circuit is simulated by the PSPICE and implemented and the peak voltage of switch and output power are measured.

There is few research about contact problem for a rigid surface with an arbitrary shape in SPH. The variational equation based on the virtual work principle is derived and its solution is obtained by the penalty method. It is proposed a new method that can determine the parameters for a penetration and a penetration rate used in the penalty method. The reproducing condition is adopted to correct the deficiency of kernel on the boundary. In order to calculate a penetration of particles, after checking boundary particles for deformable body boundary normal vectors were determined on the rigid surface. Numerical simulations for models which have rigid surface with an arbitrary shape were conducted to validate the proposed method in 2D. The results of those analysis represent that the contact algorithm proposed in this study works properly.

Contact interaction of a beam (flexible element) with an elastic half-plane is considered, when a soft inhomogeneous (functionally graded) interlayer is present between them. The beam is bent under the action of a distributed load applied to the surface and a reaction of the elastic interlayer and the half-space. Solution of the contact problem is obtained for different values of thickness and parameters of inhomogeneity of the layer. The interlayer is assumed to be significantly softer than the underlying half-plane; case of 100 times difference in Young's moduli is considered as an example. The influence of the interlayer thickness and gradient of elastic properties on the distribution of the contact stresses under the beam is studied.

Food impaction between the implant prostheses and adjacent teeth is the most frequently observed problem. It may be caused by the migration of the adjacent teeth. This symptom may be observed at the mesial aspect of implant prostheses especially, and related with the multiple contributing factors including teeth vitality and antagonist. Idal proximal contact with optimal strength and shape should be made for preventing the food impaction. Shape of customized abutment and prosthesis should have optimal emergence profile. Long duration from the extraction to the delivery of implant prostheses, the adjacent teeth and antagonist teeth may have possibility of occlusal interferences. Remained teeth mobility can induce the food impaction regardless of interproximal contact strength. Occlusal adjustment to remove occlusal interferences can be a method for enhancing the stability of interproximal contact.

The effect of the alignment of the contacting bodies is concerned. Tilting of a body (indenter) is regarded as a mis-alignment. Recently developed method fur evaluating the contact normal traction is introduced and discussed, in which piecewise parabolic profile is considered as a generalized contact profile. Indentation by a wedge with rounded apex is solved as an example problem. In the case of partial slip regime, the variation of shear traction is examined during the closed path of shear force by using the efficient numerical technique. Concentration of the slip region is also investigated. By evaluating the energy dissipation from the contact surface, the effect of the mis-alignment-alignment on wear is discussed.

This study was researched the state and problem of the soft contact Lens wear by the history and inverted microscopy. The results was as follows; 1. The first use of contact lens wear was the 15 years and the last use was the 26 years. The first age of most contact lens wear was the 19 years. 2. In the almost contact lens wearers, the first visual test was the optical shop. 3. At present, almost soft contact lens purchase the optical shop 4. At present, most contact lens wearer like a soft type. 5. At present, most soft contact lens were a domestic production, and some subjects were foreign country production, but some subjects were unknown. 6. After contact lens wear, most subjects don't known the corrected visual acuity, especially, almost people don't known the binocular visual acuity. 7. At present, on soft contact lens color, the teens like the non-color contact lens, twenties like the color contact lens, but thirties was not known. 8. On the advantage of soft contact lens knowledge, most teens and twenties were only one, thirties was unknown. 9. On the disadvantage of soft contact lens knowledge, most teens and thirties were only one, twenties were two. 10. On the side effect of soft contact lens wearer, teens was one, and twenties and thirties don't known. 11. On the main symptoms of soft contact lens wearer, total kinds were seven, On these kinds, most subjects were not symptoms, the next order was unknown on the symptom. But, On the symptoms, the main symptoms was the pain and dry eye. 12. At present, the research on the surface morphology of soft contact lens by inverted microscope, the lens repture, lens folding, foreign body immersion and etc were present. Above the study, most contact lens was soft lens, and the purchase was the optical shop, on the other hand, the knowledge of soft contact lens and visual acuity was few. As a results, On the practical problems of soft contact lens wear, the optician have to the soft contact lens treatment and aftercare by law and educational supporting.

The traditional silicon heterojunction solar cells consist of intrinsic amorphous silicon to prevent recombination of the silicon surface and doped amorphous silicon to transport the photo-generated electrons and holes to the electrode. Back contact solar cells with silicon heterojunction exhibit very high open-circuit voltages, but the complexity of the process due to form the emitter and base at the backside must be addressed. In order to solve this problem, the structure, manufacturing method, and new materials enabling the carrier selective contact (CSC) solar cell capable of achieving high efficiency without using a complicated structure have recently been actively developed. CSC solar cells minimize carrier recombination on metal contacts and effectively transfer charge. The CSC structure allows very low levels of recombination current (eg, Jo < 9fA/cm2), thereby achieves high open-circuit voltage and high efficiency. This paper summarizes the core technology of CSC solar cell, which has been spotlighted as the next generation technology, and is aiming to speed up the research and development in this field.
