Particle contamination has been an ongoing problem affecting the reliability of the magnetic hard disk drives. Especially the recent use of MR head requires much tighter control of particle contamination due to thermal asperity (TA) phenomenon. In this study, the effects of slider air bearing surface design of TA reduction capability were investigated by manufacturing two types of sliders. Numerical methods were used to simulate the motion of particles in the head/media interface. Experiments were conducted to verify the results predicted by the numerical simulation. Drives were built and exposed to particle contamination using a particle injection chamber, which turned out to be a very simple and reliable particle generation method over conventional aerosol technique. Then the number of TA generated in the drives was recorded and compared. Also the contacts between slider and particles were investigated by acoustic emission study. It was found that a new ABS design, which has aerodynamic U-shaped rail and central flow passage, was beneficial in reducing the particle contamination on the slider.

A characterization of the permeation and separation using single salt solution was carried out with charged composite membranes. Various charged composite membranes were fabricated by blending an ionic polymer with a nonionic polymer in different ratios. In this study, sodium alginate, chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) were employed as anionic, cationic and nonionic polymers, respectively. The permeation and separation behaviors of the aqueous salt solutions have been investigated through the charged composite membranes with various charge densities. As the content of the ionic polymer increased in the membrane, the hydrophilicity of the membrane increased, and pure water flux and the solution flux increased correspondingly, indicating that the permeation performance through the membrane is determined mainly by its hydrophilicity. Electrostatic interaction between the charged membrane and ionic solute molecules, that is, Donnan exclusion, was observed to be attributed to salt rejection to a greater extent, and molecular sieve mechanism was effective for the separation of salts under a similar electrostatic circumstance of solutes.

Because of consumer rejection of chemical pesticides and the appearance of microorganisms that are resistant to fungicides, we tried to discover biopesticides. Of 13 microorganisms isolated from Shrimp-jeotkal, a Bacillus sp. showed strong activity against tomato late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans. Its activity was tested both in vivo and in vitro. The identification of the strain was carried out based on 16S rDNA analysis and the morphology by scanning electron microscopy.

In this paper, the author proposed FLVSC(Fuzzy Logic Variable Structure Controller), of which control rules are extracted from the concepts of VSC(Variable Structure Control). FLC(Fuzzy Logic Controller) based on linguistic rules has the advantages of not needing of some exact mathematical model for plant to be controlled. The proposed method has the characteristics which are viewed in conventional VSC, e.g. insensitivity to a class of disturbances, parameter variations and uncertainties in sliding mode. In addition, the method has the properties of FLC - noise rejection capability etc. The computer simulations have been carried out for a DC servo motor to show the usefulness of the proposed method and the effects of disturbances and parameter variations are considered.

A low power pulse Doppler radar should integrate a large number of data to provide a required maximum detectable distance. Doppler filter needs a window that has good out-of-bard rejection level to maintain high dynamic range. From these facts, we can apply decimation and presumming to increase the speed of Doppler processing. This Paper investigates the efficiencies of several decimation methods and the loss of presumming. And I propose a method to increase processing speed but to maintain the maximum detectable distance.

In this paper we discuss the design and fabrication of two millimeter wave filters, in bandpass and bandstop topologies for wireless communications applications. The filters are made using a high Q MMIC transmission line, which consists of a 100 micrometers tall, surface micromachined, air filled inverted microstrip structure on a quartz substrate, made by using a JSR THB-151N negative photoresist sacrificial layer mold and electroplating technology. The filter topologies include a new, very compact, four pole, cross-coupled filter, that presents a single transmission zero at the lower side of the passband, which provides a very sharp out of passband rejection at this region.

In this paper an elliptic response dual-mode 4-pole bandpass filter was designed, manu-factured, and tested. A dual-mode filter having two stages cascaded double-tuned cavities which are resonant in two independent orthogonal TE113 circular-cavity modes and provide a bandpass response. A 4-pole dual-mode elliptic function bandpass filter has a center frequency of 14.022 GHz with a bandwidth of 36 MHz which is the first channel of the KOREASAT up-link frequency. The measured experimental results of a dual-mode filter are 1 dB insertion loss in the passband and 20 dB out-of-rejection.

The paper presents an experimental set-up for osmotic membrane distillation, which can be operated continuously for several weeks. NaCl solutions were used as an osmotic solution. The influence of osmotic solution concentration on the obtained permeate flux is presented. The experimental set-up was equipped with a system for the regeneration of dilute brine. The regeneration was carried out using a method of natural evaporation to the air surrounding the installation. The evaporation area was created by the Białecki rings, assembled in the form of tower. The obtained evaporation rate was sufficient to maintain a constant NaCl concentration (over 300 g/L), for air with the relative humidity in the range of 30-80%. Accurel PP S6/2 hydrophobic polypropylene membranes were used in the study. The membranes exhibited 100% rejection for 600 h of the process duration.

The new tuning rules of the PID controller for the rejection of load disturbance are proposed incorporating with real-coded genetic algorithms (RCGAs). The optimal gain parameters of the PID controller for a first-order plus time delay model are obtained based on a RCGA. Then tuning formula are derived using the tuned parameters sets potential tuning rule models and another RCGA. The performance criteria of the controller are adopted as ISE, IAE and ITAE. A series of simulation are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed tuning rules.

In this paper, surface acoustic wave(SAW) bandpass filters using slanted finger interdigital electrode transducers(IDTs) are investigated. The slanted finger IDTs are used to design SAW filters with good shape factor, a flat passband, and good out-of-band rejection characteristic. For the filter design, input-output IDT structure was simulated with modified impulse model; uniform-withdrawal weighting IDTs, withdrawal-withdrawal weighting IDTs. SAW filters of uniform-withdrawal weighting IDTs structure were designed and fabricated on $128^{\circ}LiNbO_3$ piezoelectric substrates. Implemented SAW filter has a fractional bandwidth of 30%, center frequency of 70MHz and shape factor of $1.12\pm0.01$.
