  • Geodesign was suggested by Dangermond(2009) as a next paradigm of GIS to be a future basis for spatial planning and design. Ko(2015) also suggested a geodesign methodology that uses spatial information from a landscape designer's perspective. Spatial planning and design fundamentally require creativity and efficiency but Ko's methodology did not include the creativity aspect. To complement the deficiency, this paper expand the research scope to deal with a designer's cognitive limits and to provide better experiences for the landscape designers. An interface was designed to improve the designer's creativity based on interactions that were derived from a script of landscape design. The expanded methodology for both efficiency and creativity is suggested for the interface by analyzing preceding researches. ESRI's GeoPlanner for ArcGIS, as a first geodesign software, is compared to improve the interface in terms of creativity. One of the difficulties as a thesis is that it is not easy to measure the improvement of design creativity physically and quantitatively. This paper tried to eliminate any stumbling block in supporting creativity and to help designers find new orders in design subconsciousness and to reach a new concept. In addition, the interface to express instantaneous design ideas would be a guide to overcome the designer's cognitive limits.

  • The inspection of distance to go train control system conducted only when train is in main line or inspecting line, that affects low work efficiency and hazard elements to safe operation. Before or after train operation, the interface test between on-board and wayside signal system must be conducted. In this paper, onboard signal interface inspection system based on the real-time automatic analysis of onboard system status information that is transmitted to the wayside system and the operation status check of the onboard signal device operates as a virtual train information that is transmitted to the onboard system have been proposed. And after building the inspection system to the inspecting track of Daejeon Subway Line 1, Panam Depot, the verification algorithm of proposed interface test and the results was presented. therefore, it has enhanced work efficiency to do not carry train operation of a half hour in test line to test on-board system.

  • Transparent and conductive multilayer thin films consisting of three alternating layers FZTO/Ag/$WO_3$ have been fabricated by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering for the applications as transparent conducting oxides and the structural and optical properties of the resulting films were carefully studied. The single layer fluorine doped zinc tin oxide (FZTO) and tungsten oxide ($WO_3$) films grown at room temperature are found to have an amorphous structure. Multilayer structured electrode with a few nm Ag layer embedded in FZTO/Ag/$WO_3$ (FAW) was fabricated and showed the optical transmittance of 87.60 % in the visible range (${\lambda}=380{\sim}770nm$), quite low electrical resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$ and the corresponding figure of merit ($T^{10}/R_s$) is equivalent to $3.0{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}^{-1}$. The resultant power conversion efficiency of 2.50% of the multilayer based OPV is lower than that of the reference commercial ITO. Asymmetric D/M/D multilayer is a promising transparent conducting electrode material due to its low resistivity, high transmittance, low temperature deposition and low cost components.

  • Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) have been extensively studied because of their promising low-cost alternatives to conventional semiconductor based solar cells. DSSCs consist of molecular dye at the interface between a liquid electrolyte and a mesoporous wide-bandgap semiconductor oxide. Most efforts for high conversion efficiencies have focused on dye and liquid electrolytes. However, interface engineering between dye and electrode is also important to reduce recombination and improve efficiency. In this work, for interface engineering, we deposited semiconducting ferroelectric $BiFeO_3$ with bandgap of 2.8 eV on $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and nanotubes. Photovoltaic properties of DSSCs were characterized as a function of thickness of $BiFeO_3$. We showed that ferroelectric $BiFeO_3$-coated $TiO_2$ electrodes enable to increase overall efficiency of DSSCs, which was associated with efficient electron transport due to internal electric field originating from electric polarization. It was suggested that engineering the dye-$TiO_2$ interface using ferroelectric materials as inorganic modifiers can be key parameter for enhanced photovoltaic performance of the cell.

  • In semiconductor manufacturing, the alignment process is fundamental to all manufacturing steps, and alignment errors are inevitably introduced. These alignment errors can lead to issues such as increased resistance, signal delay, and degradation. This study systematically analyzes the changes in the electrical characteristics of the bonding interface when alignment errors occur in metal interconnect and bonding structures. The results show that current density tends to concentrate at the edges of the bonding interface, with the middle part of the interface being particularly vulnerable. As alignment errors increase, the current path redistributes, causing previously concentrated current areas to disappear and an effect similar to an increase in contact area, resulting in a decrease in resistance in certain vulnerable parts. These findings suggest that proposing structural improvements to eliminate the vulnerable parts of the bonding interface could lead to interconnect with significantly improved resistance performance compared to existing structure. This study clarifies the impact of alignment errors on electrical characteristics, which is expected to play a crucial role in optimizing the electrical performance of semiconductor devices and enhancing the efficiency of the manufacturing process.

  • Friction welding has many merits such as energy efficiency, simple processing, etc butt difficult to obtain good weld at the welded interface and heat affected zone. To date, the continuum mechanics and fracture mechanics are utilized to analyse stresses at the interface and propagation of cracks. In this study. STS304 and SM15C are selected because they can be differentiated distinctively from metallic point of view and crack can be observed easily. It is ovserved during friction welding that STS304, rotary part is hatter than SH15C, fixed part. The last fracture occurs around the center because the surface of fatigue fracture has smooth regions, due to the separation phenomenon in plastic flows layers and striation dimple pattern.

  • The development of IT technology makes the functions and services of robots be integrated, and thus the robots become more intelligent and useful. As sophisticated usage of robots has evolved, direct communication by human language is necessary to increase the efficiency of their usage. In this paper, we propose a conversational interface platform for integrated service robots using MS Robotics Studio. The proposed platform consists of three types of components: a conversation manager to control the flows of the integrated service robots, a user interface to interact with users, and multiple service robots to perform actions or services. For a test-bed of the proposed platform, we build a schedule manager system and confirm the usability through SUS subject test by comparing the schedule manager system with MS Outlook.

  • We show that the electrical properties of organic thinfilm transistors(OTFTs) can be enhanced by controlling the morphology of interface between screen printed electrodes and gate dielectrics. Modified surface of the insulator layer($SiO_2$) affect on the interface energy of electrode on $SiO_2$ layer. Contact angle measurement and FT-IR spectrum shows that the interface is properly modified. OTFTs device with high efficiency has been realized through modification of interface layer.

  • This study presents the benchmark results of several design frameworks for the purpose of developing an efficient design framework in view of Excel interface. For the benchmark, three optimum design problems are chosen and solved by using the design frameworks. In order to compare the frameworks with each other, the evaluation criteria are specified and modified to fit the problems with Excel interface. Three example cases are solved and compared. The evaluation report is summarized in terms of efficiency, ease of use, internal structure, API, etc. However, the optimization result itself is not focused because the specific optimization algorithm is not our concern. Finally, some suggestions of how to develop an efficient design framework with Excel interface are presented.
