  • The specific role of current collectors was investigated at the electrolyte/electrode interface of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Ag grids were fabricated as current collectors using electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing for precise control of the grid geometry. The Ag grids reduced both the ohmic and polarization resistances as the pitch of the Ag grids decreased from $400{\mu}m$ to $100{\mu}m$. The effective electron distribution along the Ag grids improved the charge transport and transfer at the interface, extending the active reaction sites. Our results demonstrate the applicability of EHD jet printing to the fabrication of efficient current collectors for performance enhancement of SOFCs.

  • This paper presents the design method of EMC(Electromagnetic Coupling) microstrip array antenna for CS(Communication Satellite) system. Microstrip dipole antennas are attractive elements owing to the desirable properties such as simplicity, small size and linear polarization. From the optimum simulation results by the FDTD method[1], design parameters such as EMC dipole length, width, height and offset are discussed at 12CHz. The array characteristics of 5-elements and 10-elements array are also presented. By adjusting geometry of model antenna, we can design dual polarization EMC microstrip dipole antenna for CS system. Direction of nam beam is easily tilted by the control of distance between dipole elements.

  • Generally, though we use the vision sensor or arc sensor in welding process, it is difficult to define the welding parameters which can be applied to the weld quality control. Especially, the important Parameters is Arc Voltage, Welding Current, Welding Speed in arc welding process and they affect the decision of weld bead shape, the stability of welding process and the decision of weld quality. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the unique relationship between the weld bead geometry and the combination of various welding condition. Due to the various difficulties as mentioned, we intend to use Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network to solve these problems. Therefore, the combination of Fuzzy Logic and Neural network has an effect on removing the weld defects, improving the weld quality and turning the desired weld bead shape. Finally, this system can be used under what kind of welding recess adequately and help us make an estimate of the weld bead shape and remove the weld defects.

  • This paper suggests a position estimating algorithm using mono vision system with projective geometry method. Generally, 3-D information can not be easily extracted from mono vision system which is taken by a camera at a specific point. But this defect is overcome by adopting model-based image analysis and selecting lines and points on the ground as natural landmarks. And this paper suggests a method that estimates position from many natural landmarks by distance error weight function.

  • Neutron production is very important to apply fusion energy through SCBF(Spherically Convergent Beam Fusion) device and its rate is Proportional to the square of the ion current$({\propto}I^2)$. Also the ion current has a close relation with the potential well structure in grid cathode. In this paper, the ion current is calculated for the increasement of neutron production rate in a variety of grid cathode geometry. The atomic and molecular collision are taken into account by Monte Carlo Method and Potential is calculated by Finite Element Method. Main processes of the discharge is the ionization of $D_2$ by fast $D_2^+$ ion. As the number of a cathode ring is small and gap distance decreases, the ion current increases and neutron production rate will increase.

  • The teaching-learning methods of figures using computers make loose the difficulties of geometry education from the viewpoint that the abstract figures can be visualized and that by means of this visualization the learning can be accomplished through the direct experience or control. In this thesis, we present a teaching-learning method of figures using Cabri II so that the learners establish their knowledge obtained through their search, investigation, supposition and they accomplish the positive transition to advanced 1earning. So the learners extend their ability of sensuous intuition to their ability of logical reasoning through their logical intuition.

  • The development of reliable synthetic routes to polymer nanomaterials with well-defined size and morphology is a critical research topic in contemporary materials science. The ability to generate nanometer-sized polymer materials can offer unprecedented, interesting insights into the physical and chemical properties of the corresponding materials. In addition, control over shape and geometry of polymer nanoparticles affords versatile polymer nanostructures, encompassing nanospheres, core-shell nanoparticles, hollow nanoparticles, nanorods/fibers, nanotubes, and nanoporous materials. This review summarizes a diverse range of synthetic methods (broadly, hard template synthesis, soft template synthesis, and template-free synthesis) for fabricating polymer nanomaterials. The basic concepts and significant issues with respect to the synthetic strategies and tools are briefly introduced, and the examples of some of the outstanding research are highlighted. Our aim is to present a comprehensive review of research activities that concentrate on fabrication of various kinds of polymer nanoparticles.

  • The conventional discrete-ordinates method (DOM) is modified and developed for the analysis of two-dimensional axisymmetric cylindrical enclosure with curved wall. The objective of the present work is to extend the capability of the conventional DOM into a general axisymmetric geometry like nozzle-shaped enclosure, by adopting the arbitrary control angle as was done in the finite-volume method (FVM), while keeping the same two-dimensional solution procedure as in the conventional DOM. The present method is validated by applying it to three different benchmark problems of axisymmetric enclosure containing absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. Results presented in this work not only support the solution accuracy, but also moderate efficiency in the numerical calculation of axisymmetric radiation problem.

  • In turning, the chip may be produced in the form of continuous chip or discontinuous chip. The continuous chips are dangerous to the operator and difficult to be handled at high speed machining. The signal of AE(Acoustic Emission) is found out to be related to cutting conditions, tool materials, test conditions and tool geometry in turning. In this study, the relationship between AE signal and chip form was experimentally investigated. The experimental results show that the types of chip form are possible to be classified from the AE signal using fuzzy logic.
