An UV/thermal hybrid nanoimprint lithography system was designed and implemented for the pattern transfer to flexible substrates. This system can utilize a plate stamp, roll stamp, and film stamp. For all cases of using those stamps, this system is also switchable an UV or thermal nanoimprint lithography mode. This paper shows how to design the heating and UV curing plates and proposes how to change them easily. Because the pressure condition and the speed of the press roller varies by the characteristics of the stamp and substrate, all the parameters related to the nanoimprint lithography have to adjustable. Some transferred patterns are shown in this paper to verify the performance of the hybrid nanoimprint lithography system. The flexible substrates with nano-scale patterns on them will be key components for next generation technologies such as flexible displays, bendable semi-conductors, and solar cells.

For the production method, stamp base is increasing the market share. But also, by the manufacturing method, stiffness of the stamp base is small. Many studies have been carried out in order to increase the stiffness of the stamp base. In this study, we optimally designed according to the position of bolting using a screening method in order to increase the stiffness base. After establishing a simulation model, the maximum deformation and frequency of the first mode based having relevance with stiffness of the base, were optimized. There for, it was possible to expect of increasing the stiffness of the stamp base.

Investigation of the cause of the relatively recent building collapse accident in Gwangju revealed a lack of awareness about the safety of the dismantling construction system among stakeholders, in the form of issues such as illegal subcontracting, unauthorized design changes, and insufficient safety supervision. This study was conducted to analyze the safety interactions between the building dismantling construction system and the involved stakeholders and to propose ways to prevent accidents in related institutions and workplaces. AcciMap and STAMP-CAST analysis methods were used to evaluate safety interactions among the various stakeholders participating in building demolition work. Analysis results revealed that the collapse accident during the dismantling work was caused not only by structural causes occurring in the construction stage, but also by various causes throughout the system, such as the dismantling plan preparation stage and the construction permit stage. The results also revealed the need for proper implementation of safety control measures by various stakeholders to prevent collapse accidents during dismantling construction.

To imprint 70-nm wide line-patterns, we used a newly developed ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) process in which an elementwise patterned stamp (EPS), a large-area stamp, and pressurized air are used to imprint a wafer in a single step. For a single-step UV-NIL of a 4' wafer, we fabricated two identical $5'\times5'\times0.09'(W{\times}L{\times}H)$ quartz EPSs, except that one is with nanopatterns and the other without nanopatterns. Both of them consist of 16 small-area stamps, called elements, each of which is $10\;mm\;\times\;10\;mm$. UV-curable low-viscosity resin droplets were dispensed directly on each element of the EPSs. The volume and viscosity of each droplet are 3.7 nl and 7 cps. Droplets were dispensed in such a way that no air entrapment between elements and wafer occurs. When the droplets were fully pressed between ESP and wafer, some incompletely filled elements were observed because of the topology mismatch between EPS and wafer. To complete those incomplete fillings, pressurized air of 2 bar was applied to the bottom of the wafer for 2 min. Experimental results have shown that nanopatterns of the EPS were successfully transferred to the resin layer on the wafer.

본 실험에서는 단위요소 사이에 채널을 갖는 Elementwise Patterned Stamp (이하 EPS)를 이용하여 싱글스탭 (single step)으로 4인치 웨이퍼를 임프린트 하는 공정을 수행하였다. 단위요소간의 간격이 3m인 EPS를 이용한 임프린트에서 50 - 100nm급의 패턴을 성공적으로 형성하였다. 그러나 임프린트 과정 중 EPS의 채널 부분에서 웨이퍼의 미소변형이 발생하여 단위요소의 미충전과 불균일한 잔여층이 형성되는 문제들이 발생하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 웨이퍼의 미소변형이 단위요소 충전과 패턴형성에 미치는 영향을 확인해 보기 위해 웨이퍼의 두께를 100 - 500㎛로 변화시켜가며 임프린트 실험을 수행하였고, 유한요소법(Finite Element Method, FEM)을 이용한 수치모사를 통하여 실험결과를 확인하였다. 또한 웨이퍼의 미소변형이 발생하는 또 다른 요인인 EPS의 채널 폭을 3mm, 2mm, 1mm로 변화시키며 수행한 수치모사를 통하여 안정된 임프린트 조건을 제시하였다.

This paper describes an improved strategy for controlling the adhesion force using both the antiadhesion and adhesion layers for a successful large-area transfer process. An MPTMS (3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane) monolayer as an adhesion layer for Au/Pd thin films was deposited on Si substrates by vapor self assembly monolayer (VSAM) method. Contact angle, surface energy, film thickness, friction force, and roughness were considered for finding the optimized conditions. The sputtered Au/Pd ($\sim$17 nm) layer on the PDMS stamp without the anti-adhesion layer showed poor transfer results due to the high adhesion between sputtered Au/Pd and PDMS. In order to reduce the adhesion between Au/Pd and PDMS, an anti-adhesion monolayer was coated on the PDMS stamp using FOTS (perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane) after $O_2$ plasma treatment. The transfer process with the anti-adhesion layer gave good transfer results over a large area (20 mm $\times$ 20 mm) without pattern loss or distortion. To investigate the applied pressure effect, the PDMS stamp was sandwiched after 90$^{\circ}$ rotation on the MPTMS-coated patterned Si substrate with 1-${\mu}m$ depth. The sputtered Au/Pd was transferred onto the contact area, making square metal patterns on the top of the patterned Si structures. Applying low pressure helped to remove voids and to make conformal contact; however, high pressure yielded irregular transfer results due to PDMS stamp deformation. One of key parameters to success of this transfer process is the controllability of the adhesion force between the stamp and the target substrate. This technique offers high reliability during the transfer process, which suggests a potential building method for future functional structures.

Background: Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic which has antioxidant effects due to its similarity in molecular structure to ${\alpha}$-tocopherol. It has been reported that ${\alpha}$-tocopherol increases osteoclast fusion and bone resorption. Here, we investigated the effects of propofol on signaling pathways of osteoclastogenic gene expression, as well as osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption using bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). Methods: BMMs were cultured with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) alone or M-CSF plus receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) in the presence of propofol ($0-50{\mu}M$) for 4 days. Mature osteoclasts were stained for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and the numbers of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts were counted. To examine the resorption activities of osteoclasts, a bone resorption assay was performed. To identify the mechanism of action of propofol on the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts, we focused on dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP), a protein essential for pre-osteoclastic cell fusion. Results: Propofol increased the formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts. In addition, the bone resorption assay revealed that propofol increased the bone resorption area on dentin discs. The mRNA expression of DC-STAMP was upregulated most strongly in the presence of both RANKL and propofol. However, SB203580, a p38 inhibitor, significantly suppressed the propofol/RANKL-induced increase in mRNA expression of DC-STAMP. Conclusion: We have demonstrated that propofol enhances osteoclast differentiation and maturation, and subsequently increases bone resorption. Additionally, we identified the regulatory pathway underlying osteoclast cell-cell fusion, which was enhanced by propofol through p38-mediated DC-STAMP expression.

전 세계적으로 기후변화의 패러다임에 따라 조선업계에서도 친환경연료를 이용하는 추진시스템이 고려되면서, 다양한 추진기 역시 각광을 받고 있다. 일반적인 프로펠러와 타로 구성되었던 추진기들은 전방위추진기(아지무스 스러스터)라는 특수한 추진기의 발전으로부터 그 종류가 다양해지고 있다. 이러한 전방위추진기는 과거에는 예인선에 많이 설치되어 있으나, 현재는 동적위치제어시스템을 탑재한 해양플랜트운영선박에 많이 설치되어 사용되고 있는데, 이는 일반적인 추진기의 조타 방법과 상이하여 승선하는 선원들이 그 특성을 익히는데 많은 시간이 소요되고 있다. 아울러 이러한 특수한 추진기와 관련한 교육 역시 제한적으로 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 전방위추진기 탑재 선박의 조종 미숙으로 발생한 해양사고를 STAMP 기법을 통해 원인을 분석한 후 특수한 추진기를 설치한 선박의 안전 운항을 위해 표준조타명령에 대한 필요성을 시사하고자 한다.

비디오 스트림과 오디오 스트림 그리고 제어신호등의 서로 다른 종류의 digital data 들을 저장 또는 전송하기 위해서는 하나의 스트림으ㅗ 통합하기 위해 다중화 과정을 거쳐야 한다. 이러한 다중화 과정에서 가장 중요한 문제점은 하나로 묶여진 일련의 스트림을 원래의 순차대로 복원해주는 동기화 문제이고, DVD-Video에서는 MPEG2 system를 이용한 동기방식을 사용한다. 본 논문은 DVD 규격에 맞추어 Microsoft의 Visual C++5.0을 이용하여 software로 VOB를 구현하였다. 입력 스트림은 MPEG2로 압축된 비디오스트림과 최대 8개의 5.1채널 AC3 오디오스트림이고 각 스트림은 frame단위로 구성이 된다. 이 frame들을 단위로 time stamp가 부여되며 time stamp의 비교에 의해 우선 순위를 부여하여 encoding을 하게된다. 그리고 같은 time stamp를 가졌을 경우 발생하는 encoding 순서의 문제는 스트림별로 미리 우선 순위를정함으로써 해결했다.

This paper presents the general system theory and its applications to the safety analysis method that is a recent trend over the traditional event-driven model. This new model is known as STAMP(Systems Theory Accident Modeling and Process)proposed by Nancy G. Leveson in MIT. The new model has benefits of systemic approaches concerning the system safety as a whole including the context it is in, its stimulants and outcomes, and its parts as well as the relationships among them in a holistic manner. The method consists of a hierarchical control structure, a process model, and the safety constraints governing the control. This paper demonstrates an example the contrasts the differences between the approaches of STAMP and the traditional safety models.
