We fabricate PIN PD (Positive Intrinsic Negative Photo-Diode) for CWDM optical repeater and optical transmission system, and analyze theoretically the characteristics to verify the capability of device fabricated. Furthermore, we integrate CWDM filter into PD package to enhance the cost and the performance when compared to the conventional system, in which CWDM filter and PD package are linked by optical fusion splicing. The integrated CWDM PD is fabricated by three steps as follows: CWDM filter design, PD packaging, and product assembly and test. The results of measurement for PD fabricated reveal 0.5 dB bandwidth of 17 nm, isolation over 60 dB at transmission port and over 20 dB at reflection port. Also, the IMD3 for wireless communication is over 63 dBc, and the responsivity of PD presents over 0.9 A/W for 20 samples of the total 23 PD. The total insertion loss reduces about 0.4${\~}$0.7 dB due to the integrated assembly of CWDM and PD.

Non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. chinensis) is a popular vegetable in Asian countries. The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.), an insect with worldwide distribution, is a main pest of Brassicaceae crops and causes enormous crop losses. Transfer of the anti-insect gene into the plant genome by transgenic technology and subsequent breeding of insect-resistant varieties will be an effective approach to reducing the damage caused by this pest. We have produced transgenic non-heading Chinese cabbage plants expressing the potato proteinase inhibitor II gene (pinII) and tested the pest resistance of these transgenic plants. Non-heading Chinese cabbages grown for 45 days on which buds had formed were used as experimental materials for Agrobacterium-mediated vacuum infiltration transformation. Forty-one resistant plants were selected from 1166 g of seed harvested from the infiltrated plants based on the resistance of the young seedlings to the herbicide Basta. The transgenic traits were further confirmed by the Chlorophenol red test, PCR, and genomic Southern blotting. The results showed that the bar and pinII genes were co-integrated into the resistant plant genome. A bioassay of insect resistance in the second generation of individual lines of the transgenic plants showed that DBM larvae fed on transgenic leaves were severely stunted and had a higher mortality than those fed on the wild-type leaves.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of metal z-pinning on the failure behavior of cocured composite single-lap joints. Three different pin diameters (0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 mm) and three pin areal densities (0.5, 2.0, and 4.0%) were examined. The specimens were fabricated by T700-12K-31E#2510 unidirectional prepreg from Toray. Stainless steel pins were used for z-pinning. Test results showed that except one case with extremely low pin density of 0.5%, all other z-pinned joints exhibited lower initial crack stresses than those of the unpinned joint. However the ultimate strength of the z-pinned joint increased up to 45% at most. Furthermore, even after the complete failure of the joint, the z-pins sustained the carried load to a certain degree experiencing large deformation and provided the stable fracture behavior for the composite joint.

When entering the PIN(personal identification number), the greatest security threat is shoulder surfing attack. Shoulder surfing attack is watching the PIN being entered from over the shoulder to obtain the number, and it is the most common and at the same time the most powerful security threat of stealing the PIN. In this paper, a psychology based PINpad technology referred to as DAS(Dynamic Authentication System) that safeguards from shoulder surfing attack was proposed. Also, safety of the proposed DAS from shoulder surfing attack was tested and verified through intuitive viewpoint, shoulder surfing test, and theoretical analysis. Then, a PINpad with an internal DAS that was certified for its safety from shoulder surfing attack was designed and produced. Because the designed PINpad significantly decreases the chances for shoulder surfing attackers being able to steal the PIN when compared to the ordinary PINpad, it was determined to be suitable for use at ATM(automated teller machine)s operated by banks and therefore has been introduced and is being used by many financial institutions.

In this paper, the bearing strengths and fracture behaviors of the pin-jointed carbon fiber/epoxy composites were investigated through pin loading test with acoustic emission technique. The composites were fabricated by a filament winding process, and three types of laminated patterns were considered. Type 1 was fabricated with stitch, Type 2 was fabricated without stitich and Type 3 was fabricated with prepregs. According to the results, bearing strength of Type 1 was 3.3% lower than that of Type 2 and that of Type 3 was highest. Type 1 and Type 2 revealed a net-tension failure mode, respectively, whereas Type 3 pattern exhibited a bearing failure mode. Also, acoustic emission energy of the Type 3 was higher than that of the Type 1 and Type 2. Therefore, the Type 3 was found to be structurally safer than the Type 1 and Type 2.

The early localization of a fuel subassembly with a failed (wet rupture) fuel pin is very important in reactors to limit the associated radiological and operational consequences. This requires a fast and reliable system for failure detection and their localization in the core. In the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor, the system specially designed for this purpose is Failed Fuel Location Modules (FFLM) housed in the control plug region. It identifies a failed sub-assembly by detecting the presence of delayed neutrons in the sodium from a failed sub-assembly. During the commissioning phase of PFBR, it is mandatory to demonstrate the FFLM effectiveness. The paper highlights the engineering and physics design aspects of FFLM and the integrated simulation towards its function demonstration with a source assembly containing a perforated metallic fuel pin. This test pin mimics a MOX pin of 1 cm² of geometrical defect area. At 10% power and 20% sodium flow rate, the counts rate in the BCCs of FFLM system range from 75 cps to 145 cps depending upon the position of DN source assembly. The model developed for the counts simulation is applicable to both metal and MOX pins with proper values of k-factor and escape coefficient.

The Peltier Module has been used to dissipate the heat from electronic devices and electronic components. In this module, a heat sink is used to release the operating heat into the air outside. This study addressed the heat transfer characteristics for a heat sink with an inner tunnel. Under forced and natural convection conditions, the heat transfer characteristics were different. Therefore, the cooling and heating performances were studied for the heat sink, which has an inner tunnel. The heat transfer conditions were also evaluated by performing an experimental test, which investigated the heat transfer characteristics related to the variance in time and temperature distribution. Experiments on the heat transfer characteristics of the heat sink were conducted based on the forced and natural convection and temperature distribution changes. In the cooling experiment, the A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks decreased the temperature of the forced convection than the temperature of natural convection. In the forced and natural convection, the A- and B-shaped decreased to a minimum of $-15^{\circ}C$. Under the forced and natural convection conditions, A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks decreased the temperature when the voltage was increased. In the heating experiment, the A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks increased the temperature of the forced convection than the temperature of natural convection. In forced convection, when the voltage was $15^{\circ}C$, the temperature of the A-shaped cooling pin heat sink increased to $150^{\circ}C$, and the temperature of the B-shaped cooling pin heat sink increased to $145^{\circ}C$. Under forced and natural convection conditions, the A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks showed an increase in temperature with increasing voltage.

Rice flour obtained by four different milling methods, Pin mill. Colloid mill, Micro mill, and Jet mill, were used to investigate physico-chemical properties and product. Crude fat, ash, and protein contents of rice flours between different milling methods were similar. Blue value, amylose content, and damaged starch which related to properties of rice flour were reduced in the order that of Jet mill, Micro mill, Colloid mill, and Pin mill. Water absorption index, water solubility index, and water retention capacity increased as damaged starch increased. Hardness of gel(15%) is the highest value for Pin mill. The finer granules (Jet mill) had lower gelatinization onset(To) and peak(Tp) than any other rice flours. Those result are simillar with amylogram properties. Enthalpy of gelatinization increased as damaged starch increased. Jet mill had the highest score (p<0.05) of overall test in sensory evaluation and good paste properties.

In this study, friction characteristics using elastomeric actuator with Magneto-rheological (MR) materials are identified. Typically, Magneto-rheological materials are divided into two groups by MR fluid in fluid state and MR elastomer in solid state like rubber. The stiffness characteristics of Magneto-rheological material can be changed as magnetic field is applied. MR fluid has been applied to various industry fields such as to brake, clutch, damper, engine mount and etc. However, MR fluid has been used under the sealed condition to prevent leaking issues. In order to overcome these problems, MR elastomer that has same property as MR fluid has been developed and studied. MR elastomer mainly consists of polymer material such as natural rubber or silicon rubber with particles that can be polarized with magnetic field. And it is called as a smart material since its stiffness and damping characteristics can be changed. In this study, MR elastomer is produced and pin-on-disc tests are carried out to identify the friction characteristics of the material. Several test conditions are applied to evaluate the feasibility to use as a smart actuator in the field of vibration control.
