A Tsunami damper, which is installed on the outer wall of a nuclear power plant, is usually used as a ventilation window of the machine room, but can serve as a device for preventing flooding of the machine room when large waves flow over the outer wall. The sealing strip, which is inserted between the casing and the blades, plays an important role in maintaining a watertight environment. In this study, in order to ensure an effective watertight performance of the tsunami damper, FE analysis is conducted to compare the contact characteristics of sealing strips with three different section shapes. In the analysis, the casing and the blade of Tsunami damper are assumed to be rigid bodies; the sealing strip is assumed to be a flexible body. The stress, the strain, and the contact pressure are investigated to examine the sealing performance of each model.

The flexible organic thin film transistor (OTFT) array to use as a switching device for an organic light emitting diode (OLED) was designed and fabricated in the microcontact printing and room temperature process. The gate, source, and drain electrode patterns of OTFT were fabricated by microcontact printing process. The OTFT array with dielectric layer and organic active semiconductor layer formed at room temperature or at a temperature lower than $40^{\circ}C$. The microcontact printing process using SAM and PDMS stamp made it possible to fabricate OTFT arrays with channel lengths down to even submicron size, and reduced the fabrication process by 10 steps compared with photolithography. Since the process was done in room temperature, there was no pattern shrinkage, transformation, and bending problem appeared. Also, it was possible to improve electric field mobility, to decrease contact resistance, to increase close packing of molecules by SAM, and to reduce threshold voltage by using a big dielectric.

The optimization of poly-Si TFT process on metal foil for UTL AMOLED was systematically investigated. The improvement in device performance of poly-Si TFT on metal foil was achieved by optimizing the dopant activation condition and gate dielectric structure. Hence, the world first flexible full color 5.6-inch AMOLED with top emission mode on poly-Si TFT stainless steel foil is demonstrated.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) or P3HT based organic thin film transistor (OTFT) array was fabricated on flexible poly carbonate substrates and the electrical characteristics were investigated. As the gate dielectric, a dual layer structure of polyimide-$SiO_2$ was used to improve the roughness of $SiO_2$ surface and further enhancing the device performance and also source-drain electrodes were $O_2$ plasma treated for improvement of the electrical properties, such as drain current and field effect mobility. For the active layer, polymer semiconductor, P3HT layer was printed by contact-printing and spin-coating method. The electrical properties of OTFT devices printed by both methods were evaluated for the comparison. Based on the experiments, P3HT-based OTFT array with field effect mobility of 0.02~0.025 $cm^{2}/V{\cdot}s$ and current modulation (or $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio) of $10^{3}\sim10^{4}$ was fabricated.

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) have been commonly used to effectively enhance the dynamic behavior of the rotating shaft supported by rolling element bearings. However, due to the recent trends of high operating speed, high load capacity and light weight in rotating machinery, it is becoming increasingly important to change the dynamic characteristics of rotating machines in operation so that the excessive vibrations, which may occurparticularly when passing through critical speeds or unstable regions, can be avoided. Semi-active type SFDs using magneto-rheological fluid (MR fluid), which responds to an applied magnetic field with a change in rheological behavior, are introduced in order to find its applications to rotating machinery as an effective device attenuating unbalance responses. In this paper, a semi-active SFD using MR fluid is designed, tested, and identified to investigate the capability of changing its dynamic properties such as damping and stiffness.In order to apply the MR-SFD to the vibration attenuation of a rotor, a systematic approach for determining the damper's optimal location is investigated, and also, a control algorithm that could improve the unbalance response characteristics of a flexible rotor is proposed and its control performance is validated with a numerical example.

In field of environments, the control and monitoring devices for sewage disposal facilities have been developed to overcome a problem of the water contamination according to industrialization and urbanization. In order to control and monitor the driving motor and the surroundings states of the sewage disposal facilities installed in local stations, this paper presents the design method of efficient module system interconnected by internal network with serial interface. It is expected that the proposed method in this paper is able to provide the more adaptive and flexible design technique for the specification of condition and factors needed in the fast-changed environment market.

A novel interaction method for mobile phones using their built-in cameras is presented. By estimating the path connecting the center points of frames captured by the camera phone, objects of interest can be easily extracted and recognized. To estimate the movement of the mobile phone, corners and corresponding Speeded-Up Robust Features descriptors are used to calculate the spatial transformation parameters between the previous and current frames. These parameters are then used to recalculate the locations of the center points in the previous frame into the current frame. The experiment results obtained from real image sequences show that the proposed system is efficient, flexible, and able to provide accurate and stable results.

In this paper, the effects of filter parameters on a supercontinuum-based all-optical thresholder are experimentally investigated. By tuning the filter parameters, the power transfer function and power transmission function are tailored. The experimental results show that a thresholder with short center wavelength has a better power function, and the slope in the middle level of the thresholder increases with increasing bandwidth. Through tuning the filter parameters, the thresholder can achieve a steplike power transfer function for optical thresholding, and a steplike power transmission function for optical self-switching. This makes the supercontinuum-based thresholder more flexible, and allows customization of performance to meet different demands in various applications.

Presented herein are the results of the study that was conducted on the electrical characteristics of organic field-effect transistors based on poly(3-hexylthiophene), particularly the thickness and annealing temperature of their active layer is varied. The changes in field-effect mobility and current on/off ratio were explored. It was observed that both increasing annealing temperature from $60^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ and various concentrations influence the trade-off relations between the mobility and current on/off ratio. The surface morphology of the 2-${\mu}m^2$ area with various thicknesses was scanned via atomic-forcemicroscopy(AFM) to verify the relationship between surface morphology, which is related to the thickness of the film, and device performance.

As the power system develops rapidly into a smarter and more flexible state, so must the communication technologies that support it. Machine to machine (M2M) communication in Smart Grid environment has been discussed in European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The power system is not easily replaceable, due to system replacement cost. The M2M gateway is required in other to improve interoperability in M2M environment. The Distributed Network Protocol 3.0 (DNP3.0) is the most important standard in the SCADA systems for the power. It has been used for device data collection/control in Substation Systems, Distribution Automation System. If the DNP3.0 data model is combined with a set of contemporary web protocols, it can result in a major shift. We selected Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) based on RESTful as M2M protocol. It is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks. We have used the OPNET Modeler 17.1 in order to verity the SOAP versus CoAP. In this paper, we propose the CoAP-based M2M Gateway to Distribution Automation system using DNP3.0 in Smart Grid Environment.
