본 논문에서는 원형편파 패치안테나에 상부덮개를 여러 층으로 적층함으로써 안테나 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 지금까지 원형편파 패치안테나를 설계하기 위해서는 주로 단층의 상부덮개를 적용하거나, 여러 층으로 구성된 하나의 상부덮개를 적용하였고, 성능 분석시 안테나 축비를 거의 고려하지 않았다. 먼저, 상부덮개와 패치안테나 간의 공기층 높이에 의한 중심주파수의 변화를 분석하였다. 공기층 높이가 적을 때는 중심주파수가 낮은 쪽으로 천이하였고, $005{\lambda}_0$의 공기층 높이에서는 주파수 천이가 거의 없었다. 다음은 최적의 공기층 높이를 적용하여 상부덮개의 층수를 증가하면서 안테나 성능을 분석하였다. 상부덮개의 층수가 증가하면서 안테나 이득은 비례적으로 증가하지만, 안테나 축비는 점차적으로 악화되었다. 또한, 상부덮개의 유전체 두께가 증가할수록 안테나 이득은 증가하지만 안테나 축비는 급격히 악화되었다. 결과적으로 안테나 축비를 3dB 이내로 유지하면서 상부덮개의 층수를 확장하여 다양한 이득을 얻을 수 있는 안테나 설계가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to prepare the controlled release adhesive patch containing naproxen. Pressuresensitive adhesive (PSA)-type patch was fabricated by casting of polyisobutylene (PIE.) and mineral oil in toluene. Membrane-controlled release (MCR)-type patch was prepared by the attachment of the controlled release membrane on the PSAtype patch. The membrane was mainly composed of Eudragit, polyethylene glycol(PEG) and glycerin. The drug release profile and skin permeation test with various patches were evaluated in vitro. The release of naproxen from PIE-based PSAtype patch with various loading doses fitted Higuchi's diffusion equation. However, the permeation of naproxen through hairless mouse skin from PSA-type patch followed zero-order kinetics. In MCR-type patch, thickness of controlled release membrane affected on the drug release rate highly. In the composition of membrane, the release rate was decreased as the ratio of Eudragit increased. The drug release from the MCR-type patch followed zero order kinetics. The permeation of naproxen through hairless mouse skin from MCR-type patch showed lag time for the intial release period and didn't fit the zero-order kinetics

본 논문에서는 X 밴드 주파수에서 단얼 마이크로스트립 선로 급전방식을 갖는 원형 편파 개구면-패치 안테나(aperture-patch antenna) 및 환 구조 안테나(ring antenna)를 설계, 제작하여 특성을 측정하였다. 개구면-패치 안테나는 동작 대역폭이 매우 넓으며, 환 구조 안테나는 크기가 작아서 대형 배열안테나의 기본 복사소자로 적합하다. 이 두 종류의 안테나에 대하여 VSWR 대역폭과 원형편파 축비(axial ratio)를 개선하기 위한 여러 가지 설계 파라미터의 영향을 분석하였다. 개구면과 환 복사소자는 공진기 모델(cavity mode!)에 근거하여 초기 설계를 하였으며. 원형편파를 발생시키기 위한 개구면 내부의 패치와 환 내부의 스터브(stub) 는 Ensemble 소프트웨어를 사용하여 최적화 하였다. 제작된 안테나는 개구면-패치 안테나의 경우 25 %의 V VSWR 대역폭(3dB 기준)과 1.2 dB의 최소 축비를 가지며, 환 구조 안테나에서는 6.7 %의 VSWR 대역폭과 1.6 dB의 최소 축비를 가진다.

This paper investigates the design of a perfect point load actuator based on flat triangular piezoelectric patches. Applying a difference of electric potential between the electrodes of a triangular patch leads to point loads at the tips and distributed moments along the edges of the electrodes. The previously derived analytical expressions of these forces show that they depend on two factors: the width over height (b/l) ratio of the triangle, and the ratio of the in-plane piezoelectric properties ($e_{31}/e_{32}$) of the active layer of the piezoelectric patch. In this paper, it is shown that by a proper choice of b/l and of the piezoelectric properties, the moments can be cancelled, so that if one side of the triangle is clamped, a perfect point load actuation can be achieved. This requires $e_{31}/e_{32}$ to be negative, which imposes the use of interdigitated electrodes instead of continuous ones. The design of two transducers with interdigitated electrodes for perfect point load actuation on a clamped plate is verified with finite element calculations. The first design is based on a full piezoelectric ceramic patch and shows superior actuation performance than the second design based on a piezocomposite patch with a volume fraction of fibres of 86%. The results show that both designs lead to perfect point load actuation while the use of an isotropic PZT patch with continuous electrodes gives significantly different results.

A polymeric film composed of Carbopol, Poloxamer and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose was prepared to develop a buccal patch and the effects of composition of the film on adhesion time, swelling ratio, and dissolution of the film were studied. The effects of plasticizers or penetration enhancers on the release of triamcinolone acetonide (TAA) were also studied. The hydrogen bonding between Carbopol and Poloxamer played important role in reducing swelling ratio and dissolution rate of polymer film and increasing adhesion time. The swelling ratio of the composite film was significantly reduced and the adhesion time was increased when compared with Carbopol film. As the ratio of Poloxamer to hydroxypropyl methylcellulose increased from 0/66 to 33/33, the release rate of TAA decreased. However, no further significant decrease of release rate was observed beyond the ratio of 33/33. The release rate of TAA in the polymeric film containing polyethylene glycol 400, a plasticizer, showed the highest release rate followed by triethyl citrate, and castor oil. The release rate of TAA from the polymeric film containing permeation enhancers was slower than that from the control without enhancers. Therefore, these observations indicated that a preparation of a buccal patch is feasible with the polymeric film composed of Cabopol, Poloxamer and hydropropyl methylcellulose.

A low profile asymmetrical fractal boundary patch antenna based on reactive impedance surface (RIS) and a mushroom unit cell (MUC) is proposed and studied for dual band operation. The sides of the square patch antenna are replaced with asymmetrical half circled fractal curves for circular polarization operation at patch mode band. The fractal patch antenna is loaded with MUC for dual band operation. The antenna radiation characteristics are investigated and illustrated with both simulated and experimental results in detail. The 10-dB return loss bandwidth are 8.48% (3.21-3.49 GHz) and 2.59% (2.30-2.36 GHz) at upper and lower resonance frequencies, respectively. The 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth is 4.26% (3.21-3.35 GHz). A close agreement between simulation data with experimental results is observed.

This study presents a dual-band polarization-reconfigurable antenna that comprises a large square patch with a pair of corner-cut edges and two small square patches with a shorting via. Two PIN diodes are located between the large square patch and two small square patches. Depending on the bias state applied to the two PIN diodes, each small patch may be disconnected or connected to the large square patch. As a result, the proposed antenna can provide polarization reconfigurability between two orthogonal linear polarizations. Further, the proposed antenna operates at 2.51 GHz and 2.71 GHz. From the measured results, the proposed antenna shows a 10 dB bandwidth of 2.39% (2.49-2.55 GHz) and 2.58% (2.68-2.75 GHz). In this work, the frequency ratio can be easily controlled by changing the size of the small patch.

In on-demand multimedia streaming systems, streaming techniques are usually combined with proxy caching to obtain better performance. The patch streaming technique has no start-up latency inherent to it, but requires extra bandwidth to deliver the media data in patch streams. This paper proposes a proxy caching technique which aims at reducing the bandwidth cost of the patch streaming technique. The proposed approach determines media prefixes with high patching cost and caches the appropriate media prefix at the proxy/local server. Herein the scheme is evaluated using a synthetically generated media access workload and its performance is compared with that of the popularity and prefix-aware interval caching scheme (the prefix part) and with that of patch streaming with no caching. The bandwidth saving, hit ratio and concurrent number of clients are used to compare the performance, and the proposed scheme is found to perform better for different caching capacities of the proxy server.
