Using electronic cochlear implant system, we studied in cats the difference in the response of the brain stem evoked response (BER) during the stimulation with the acoustic signals and the electric signals. These brain stem electric responses were analyzed using the integral pulse frequency modulation method of the auditory nervous system. Animal experimental results and the analysis show that the carrier wave hasimprored the frequency specificity. of the electronic auditory prosthesis.

Electrochromic (EC) devices are capable of reversibly changing their optical properties upon charge injection and extraction induced by the external voltage. The characteristics of the EC device, such as low power consumption, high coloration efficiency, and memory effects under open circuit status, make them suitable for use in a variety of applications including smart windows and electronic papers. Coloration due to reduction or oxidation of redox chromophores can be used for EC devices (e-paper), but the switching time is slow (second level). Recently, with increasing demand for the low cost, lightweight flat panel display with paper-like readability (electronic paper), an EC display technology based on dye-modified $TiO_2$ nanoparticle electrode was developed. A well known organic dye molecule, viologen, was adsorbed on the surface of a mesoporous $TiO_2$ nanoparticle film to form the EC electrode. On the other hand, ZnO is a wide bandgap II-VI semiconductor which has been applied in many fields such as UV lasers, field effect transistors and transparent conductors. The bandgap of the bulk ZnO is about 3.37 eV, which is close to that of the $TiO_2$ (3.4 eV). As a traditional transparent conductor, ZnO has excellent electron transport properties, even in ZnO nanoparticle films. In the past few years, one-dimension (1D) nanostructures of ZnO have attracted extensive research interest. In particular, 1D ZnO nanowires renders much better electron transportation capability by providing a direct conduction path for electron transport and greatly reducing the number of grain boundaries. These unique advantages make ZnO nanowires a promising matrix electrode for EC dye molecule loading. ZnO nanowires grow vertically from the substrate and form a dense array (Fig. 1). The ZnO nanowires show regular hexagonal cross section and the average diameter of the ZnO nanowires is about 100 nm. The cross-section image of the ZnO nanowires array (Fig. 1) indicates that the length of the ZnO nanowires is about $6\;{\mu}m$. From one on/off cycle of the ZnO EC cell (Fig. 2). We can see that, the switching time of a ZnO nanowire electrode EC cell with an active area of $1\;{\times}\;1\;cm^2$ is 170 ms and 142 ms for coloration and bleaching, respectively. The coloration and bleaching time is faster compared to the $TiO_2$ mesoporous EC devices with both coloration and bleaching time of about 250 ms for a device with an active area of $2.5\;cm^2$. With further optimization, it is possible that the response time can reach ten(s) of millisecond, i.e. capable of displaying video. Fig. 3 shows a prototype with two different transmittance states. It can be seen that good contrast was obtained. The retention was at least a few hours for these prototypes. Being an oxide, ZnO is oxidation resistant, i.e. it is more durable for field emission cathode. ZnO nanotetropods were also applied to realize the first prototype triode field emission device, making use of scattered surface-conduction electrons for field emission (Fig. 4). The device has a high efficiency (field emitted electron to total electron ratio) of about 60%. With this high efficiency, we were able to fabricate some prototype displays (Fig. 5 showing some alphanumerical symbols). ZnO tetrapods have four legs, which guarantees that there is one leg always pointing upward, even using screen printing method to fabricate the cathode.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is the most widely studied model for learning and memory. However its mechanisms are not clearly elucidated and are a subject for intense investigation. Previous attempts to decipher cellular mechanisms and network properties involved a current-source density analysis (CSDA) of the LTP from small animal hippocampus measured with a limited number of microelectrodes (typically <3), only revealing limited nature of spatiotemporal dynamics. Recent advancement in multi-electrode array (MEA) technology allows continuous and simultaneous recordings of LTP with more than 60 electrodes. However CSDA via the standard Laplacian transform is still limited due to its relatively high sensitivity toward noise, inability of resolving overlapped current sources and sinks, and its requirement for tissue conductivity values. In this study, we propose a new methodology for improved CSDA. Independent component analysis and its joint use (i.e., Joint-ICA) are applied to extract spatiotemporal components of LTP. The results show that ICA and Joint-ICA are capable of extracting independent spatiotemporal components of LTP generators. The ICs of LTP indicate the reversing roles of current sources and sinks which are associated with LTP.

지표가 불규칙한 지형에서 경사시추공을 이용한 단극-쌍극자 배열 전기비저항 토모그래피 탐사를 보면, 우리는 시추공안에 있는 전류원과 지표의 지형기복 사이의 최단거리에 위치한 전위전극에서의 극성변화, 지형기복에 따른 거리계수와 포텐셜의 변화 및 모델링에서 경사 시추공에 위치한 전극과 절점의 공간적인 불일치 등을 고려할 수 있다. 요소분할 방법은 시추공이 곡선이거나 경사져 있을 경우와 하나의 요소에 여러 개의 전극이 있을 때 각 전극에 대한 절점 좌표를 지정할 수 있기 때문에 매우 효과적인 방법이라고 본다. 시추공과 지형기복이 동일한 경사를 갖는 경우에서의 역산 결과는 매우 좋은 영상으로 나타났으며 최소자승근의 오차가 안정적으로 수렴되는 경향을 보였다.

전기수력학 (Electrohydrodynamic, EHD) 프린팅 기술은 전기장을 이용하여 일반 프린팅 기술보다 더 작은 크기의 액적을 분사하고 패터닝할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. EHD 프린팅은 일반적으로 인쇄 노즐이나 기판을 X-Y 방향으로 움직여 패턴을 제작하는 방식으로 사용되어 왔으나 본 연구에서는 다중전극 어레이 (Multielectrode array, MEA)를 이용하여 원하는 기판위에 2차원의 패터닝이 가능함을 연구하였다. 특히, 약물전달장치 등의 바이오메디칼 디바이스로의 응용이 가능한 생분해성 고분자와 염료를 혼합한 잉크의 EHD 프린팅을 시도하였으며 노즐이나 기판의 움직임 없이 안정적으로 분사할 수 있는 2차원 범위에 대한 연구를 통해 최소 약 $6{\mu}m$ 크기를 갖는 패턴을 노즐 위치로부터 수평방향으로 약 1 mm 범위까지 안정적 패터닝이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한, MEA 전극 간의 거리에 의한 패턴 조밀도의 한계를 극복하기 위해 MEA와 인쇄가 이루어지는 기판과의 상대적 이동을 통해 더 조밀한 패터닝이 가능함을 보여주었다.

This paper presents the fabrication and performance measurement of a temperature sensor array on a flexible substrate attachable to a curved surface using MEMS technology. Specifically, the fabrication uses the well-developed printed circuit board fabrication technology for complex electrode definition. The temperature sensor array are lifted off with a $10{\times}10$ matrix in a $50\;mm{\times}50\;mm$ to visualize temperature distribution. Copper is used as temperature sensing material to measure the change in resistances with temperature increase. In a thermal oven with temperature control, the temperature sensor array is Characterized. The constant slope of resistance change is obtained and temperature distribution is measured from the relationship between resistance and temperature.

This paper presents a frequency-dependent cell impedance analysis chip for use in cancer and normal cell discrimination. The previous cell impedance analysis chips for flowing cells cannot allow enough time for cell-to-electrode contact to monitor frequency-dependent impedance response. Another type of the previous cell impedance analysis chips for the cells clamped by membranes need complex sample control for making stable cell-to-electrode contact. We present a new impedance analysis chip using the microchamber array, on which a PDMS cover is placed to make stable cell-to-electrode contact for the individual cell trapped in each microchamber; thus achieving frequency-dependent single-cell impedance analysis without complex sample control. Compared to the normal cells, the magnitude of NHBE cells is $60.07{\sim}97.41k{\Omega}$ higher than A549 cells in the frequency range of 95.6 kHz~2MHz and the phase of NHBE is $3.96^{\circ}{\sim}20.8^{\circ}$ higher than A549 cells in the frequency range of 4.37 kHz~2MHz, respectively. It is demonstrated experimentally that the impedance analysis chip performs frequency-dependent cell impedance analysis by making stable cell-to-electrode contact with simple sample control; thereby applicable to the normal cell and cancer cell discrimination.
