The mesh mask screen, which is generally used for screen printing metallization of silicon solar cell, requires high squeegee pressure and low printing speed. These requirements are acting as a limiting factor in production yield in photovoltaic industries. In order to improve the productivity, a metal mask, which has high durability and high printing speed, has been researched. In this paper, the characteristics of each solar cell, in which electrodes were formed by using a metal mask and a mesh mask, were analyzed through recombination current density. In particular, the metal-induced recombination current density (Jom) representing the recombination of the emitter-metal interface was calculated using the shading method, and the resulting efficiency and open-circuit voltage were analyzed through the diode equation. As a result of analyzing the proportion of the metal-induced recombination current density to the total emitter recombination current density, it was analyzed that the reduction of the metal-induced recombination current density through the metal mask is an important factor in reducing the total recombination current density of the solar cell.

As the density of memories increases, unwanted interference between cells and coupling noise between bit-lines are increased and testing high density memories for a high degree of fault coverage can require either a relatively large number of test vectors or a significant amount of additional test circuitry. From now on, conventional test algorithms have focused on faults between neighborhood cells, not neighborhood bit-lines. In this paper, a new algorithm for NPSFs, and neighborhood bit-line sensitive faults (NBLSFs) based on the NPSFs are proposed. Instead of the conventional five-cell and nine-cell physical neighborhood layouts to test memory cells, a three-cell layout which is minimum size for NBLSFs detection is used. To consider faults by maximum coupling noise by neighborhood bit-lines, we added refresh operation after write operation in the test procedure(i.e., write \longrightarrow refresh \longrightarrow read). Also, we present properties of the algorithm, such as its capability to detect stuck-at faults, transition faults, conventional pattern sensitive faults, and neighborhood bit-line sensitive faults.

In order to produce ${\gamma}-linolenic$ acid by Mucor sp. KCTC 8405P. the fungus was cultivated in fed-batch culture with two phases. i.e., growth in yeast-like form and induction to hyphal growth by pH shift of the culture medium during cultivation. The synchronous growth of the fungus into the appropriate sizes was important for the high density cell culture of this dimorphic fungus. Dissolved oxygen concentration in the medium did not affect degree of unsaturation of fatty acids and ${\gamma}-linolenic$ acid content. Under the culture conditions applied in this experiment. the fungus was found to produce 100 g/l dry mycelia containing 40% of the lipids, where ${\gamma}-linolenic$ acid comprised about 9% of the total extractable fatty acids.

For understanding physiology and metabolism under various culture conditions, combined analysis of transcriptome and proteome is attractable way. We have manufactured DNA microarray containing 2,850 genes including all functionally known and putative ones. In this study, we report analysis of transcriptome and proteome during the high cell density culture of E. coli by using DNA microarray and 2-DE. Fed-batch fermentation of E. coli was carried out by exponential feeding of nutrients until the maximum cell density reached 74 g dry cell weight/L (g DCW/L). Changes in transcriptome and proteome during the HCDC are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to provide their physiological and metabolic meanings.

The physiological characteristics of cultures of very high cell mass (e.g. 10g cell mass/L), termed“ultrahigh cell density cultures”is reviewed. A close relationship was found between the length of the optical path (OP) in flat-plate reactors and the optimal cell density of the culture as well as its areal (g m$\^$-2/ day$\^$-1/) productivity. Cell-growth inhibition (GI) unfolds as culture density surpasses a certain threshold. If it is constantly relieved, a 1.0cm OP reactor could produce ca. 50% more than reactors with longer OP, e.g. 5 or 10cm. This unique effect, discovered by Hu et al. [3], is explained in terms of the relationships between the frequency of the light-dark cycle (L-D cycle), cells undergo in their travel between the light and dark volumes in the reactor, and the turnover time of the photosynthetic center (PC). In long OP reactors (5cm and above) the L-D cycle time may be orders of magnitude longer than the PC turnover time, resulting in a light regime in which the cells are exposed along the L-D cycle, to long, wasteful dark periods. In contrast, in reactors with an OP of ca. 1.0 cm, the L-D cycle frequency approaches the PC turnover time resulting in a significant reduction of the wasteful dark exposure time, thereby inducing a surge in photosynthetic efficiency. Presently, the major difficulty in mass cultivation of ultrahigh-density culture (UHDC) concerns cell growth inhibition in the culture, the exact nature of which is awaiting detailed investigation.

Spin-filters are used as cell separation devices for achieving high cell density and high productivity in animal cell culture. We have proposed a model for the cell growth in a spin-filter perfusion culture and examined the effects on cell growth by several parameters including ammonia inhibition, specific growth rate, specific feeding rate, and cell retention. Results from computer simulation and sensitivity analysis indicate that the cell retention affects the cell growth mostly while there is a significant inhibition on cell growth by the ammonia accumulated during the culture. The specific feeding rate has minimal effects on cell growth, which is consistant with the fact that the cell growth with a step feeding is quite similar to that with a continuous feeding.

All-solid-state batteries are promising energy storage devices in which high-energy-density and superior safety can be obtained by efficient cell design and the use of nonflammable solid electrolytes, respectively. This paper presents a systematic study of experimental factors that affect the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state batteries. The morphological changes in composite electrodes fabricated using different mixing speeds are carefully observed, and the corresponding electrochemical performances are evaluated in symmetric cell and half-cell configurations. We also investigate the effect of the composite electrode thickness at different charge/discharge rates for the realization of all-solid-state batteries with high-energy-density. The results of this investigation confirm a consistent relationship between the cell capacity and the ionic resistance within the composite electrodes. Finally, a concentration-gradient composite electrode design is presented for enhanced power density in thick composite electrodes; it provides a promising route to improving the cell performance simply by composite electrode design.

Ultrastructural and histochemical studies were carried out on the prostate gland of a Korean slug (Incilaria fruhstorferi) with light and electron microscopes. The results are as follows. The endothelial tissue of the prostate gland is constituted with tall and narrow ciliated columnar cells, irregularly shaped cells and gland cells in which are included the elongated oval or ellipsoid nucleus those are surrounded by curved membrane. The endothelial tissue of the prostate gland is composed by type-A, B, C and type-D gland cells, and the glanules of type-A, B, and D gland cells are certified to neutral mucopolysaccharide because are related by PAS-alcian blue (pH 2.5) , but the other hand type-C gland cell is only weakly reacted to PAS, but strongly reacted by Million reaction. The glanules of type-A gland cell are small size (about $0.4{\mu}m$) and are seen high electron density, but the glanules of type-B gland cell are large size (about $0.7{\mu}m$) and glanule density is same type-A glanules. Long ellipsoid type-C gland cell contained round nucleus which is well developed beterochromatin in, and that small oval glanules (size, about $0.9{\mu}m$) of moderate high electron density which are formed a group of large glanule together with $4\sim5ea$, but type-D gland cell possessed round small nucleus are seen high electron dense glanules (size, $0.8{\mu}m$).

A cell sedimentaion system was designed and employed for the high culture of hydridoma. An upward divering cell settler allowed a good sedimentation of hybridoma but the accumulation of cell mass on the settler's wall side was a potential prolem. Although a cyinderical cell settler was useful to solve this problem, this device was employable only at low dilytion rate. A modified cell settler could support the high density culture of hybridoma at a concentration of $5{\times}10^6$ cell/ ml during 1 week, producting 380mg of monclonal antibody.

For the higher density DRAM'S, innovations in fabrication process and circuit design which have led to dramatic density improvement are discussed from the desinger's perspective. A new dynamic RAM cell called Trench Epitaxial Transistor Cell(TETC) using trench technics and SEG have been developed for use in future megabit DRAMS. Storge electrode with $n^+$-polysilicon and $n^+$-source electrode are self-contacted in TETC. With keeping the storage capacitance large enough to prevent soft errors, the cell size reduced to 30% compare with existing BSE cell by utilizing the vertical capacitor made along the isolation region.
