Various techniques to measure the three-dimensional (3D) surface profile of a 3D micro- or nanostructure have been proposed. However, it is difficult to apply such techniques directly to industrial uses because most of them are relatively slow, unreliable, and expensive. The HiLo optical imaging technique, which was recently introduced in the field of fluorescence imaging, is a promising wide-field imaging technique capable of high-speed imaging with a simple optical configuration. It has not been used in measuring a 3D surface profile although confocal microscopy originally developed for fluorescence imaging has been adapted to the field of 3D optical measurement for a long time. In this paper, to the best of our knowledge, the HiLo optical imaging technique for measuring a 3D surface profile is proposed for the first time. Its optical configuration and algorithm for a precisely detecting surface position are designed, optimized, and implemented. Optical performance for several 3D microscale structures is evaluated, and it is confirmed that the capability of measuring a 3D surface profile with HiLo optical imaging technique is comparable to that with confocal microscopy.

A 3D particle code is developed to analyze electron behavior in a planar magnetron sputtering cathode either in balanced or unbalanced configuration. Three types of collisions are included; electron - neutral elastic, excitation to a metastable state and ionization. Flight path is calculated by a 4-th order Runge-Kutta method with a time step of 10 ps. Effects of electron starting position, magnetic field intensity and configuration were analyzed. For a more efficient and accurate modeling, multithreading technique is considered for multicore CPU computers. Under an assumption of cold ion approach, target erosion profiles are predicted for a flat target surface.

The objective of this research is to develop a measurement error model for sculptured surfaces in On-Machine Measurement (OMM) process based on a closed-loop configuration. The geometric error model of each axis of a vertical CNC Machining center is derived using a 4${\times}$4 homogeneous transformation matrix. The ideal locations of a touch-type probe for the scupltured surface measurement are calculated from the parametric surface representation and X-, Y- directional geometric errors of the machine. Also, the actual coordinates of the probe are calculated by considering the pre-travel variation of a probe and Z-directional geometric errors. Then, the step-by-step measurement error analysis method is suggested based on a closed-loop configuration of the machining center including workpiece and probe errors. The simulation study shows the simplicity and effectiveness of the proposed error modeling strategy.

The seal plays a role in preventing oil leakage when the lip and the rotating shaft come into contact with the fluid and air pressure. Recently, micro dimples or micro pockets are processed and used on the lubrication surfaces of thrust bearings, mechanical bearings, and piston rings. Compared to a smooth surface, micro dimples reduce friction and increase the life of parts. This paper analyzed various kinds of micro dimple shapes on the sealing surface, i.e. circle, rectangle, triangle, and trapezoid. For this purpose, Introduced the design of experiments to work out a micro dimple configuration, unlikely to be damaged from cracks and low in contact stress. As a result, the triangular dimple showed the best results. Optimal factors were dimple size 0.15 mm, dimple depth 0.0383 mm, dimple density 40%, and the maximum equivalent stress was 9.1455 MPa, and the maximum contact pressure was 9.6612 MPa. This paper analyzed the optimal shape of dimples by finite element analysis. As a research project, experiments and comparative analysis of micro dimple shapes are needed.

분리막 모듈 내 스페이서는 용액의 원활한 흐름을 위한 공간 확보와 더불어 유체의 난류를 형성시키므로 농도분극화 현상을 감소시키고 막 표면에 축적되는 오염물을 용액 내로 혼합하여 높은 투과유속과 분리막 모듈을 장기간 운전하는데 도움을 준다. 본 연구에서는 분리막 모듈 내 원형, 십자형, 다이아몬드형 및 육각형 단면의 스페이서와 스페이서의 배열 각도, 용질 배제율 및 투과유속에 대한 농도 변화를 "COMSOL Multiphysics" 프로그램으로 수치 해석하여 최적화하였다. 4가지 형태의 스페이서 중에서 십자형 단면 스페이서를 포함한 모듈의 경우가 분리막 표면 농도를 가장 낮게 유지하였으며 스페이서의 배열 각도는 $30^{\circ}$가 효율적이었다. 스페이서가 없는 모듈 출구에서 분리막 표면의 농도는 입구보다 약 2.09배까지 증가하였으나 가장 효율적인 십자형 스페이서를 $30^{\circ}$로 배열할 경우 약 1.29배로서 최대 37% 낮았다. 또한 투과유속이 증가할수록 십자형 스페이서의 농도분극 감소효과는 급격히 증가하였다.

This paper presents an evaluation of joint configurations of a robotic finger based on kinematic analysis. The evaluation is based on an assumption that the current control methods for the fingers require that the contact state specified by the motion planner be maintained during manipulation. Various finger-joint configurations have been evaluated for different contact motions. In the kinematic analysis, the surface of the manipulated object was represented by B-spline surface and the surface of the finger was represented by cylinders and a half ellipsoid. Three types of contact motion, namely, 1) pure rolling, 2) twist-roiling, and 3) slide-twist-rolling are assumed in this analysis. The finger-joint configuration best suited for manipulative motion is determined by the dimension of manipulation workspace. The evaluation has shown that the human-like fingers are suitable for maintaining twist-rolling and slide-twist-rolling but not for pure rolling. A finger with roll joint at its fingertip link, which is different from human fingers, proved to be better for pure rolling motion because it can accommodate sideway motions of the object. Several kinds of useful finger-joint configurations suited for manipulating objects by fingertip surface are proposed.

We investigated the magnetism of vanadium monolayers on a Pd(001) surface. The electronic structure and the magnetic properties of the V/Pd(001) system were determined with the use of the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method within the general gradient approximation. Three magnetic configurations were studied: non-, ferro-, and antiferromagnetic. From the total energy calculations, we found that the V/Pd(001) system is the most stable in the antiferromagnetic configuration. The importance of relaxation on the magnetic properties of the systems was also studied. It was found that the Pd(001) surface covered with a V monolayer undergoes considerable relaxation in which the spacing between Pd layers increases in all three magnetic configurations. Contrary to the Pd interlayer spacing, the distance between the V overlayer and the topmost Pd layer is reduced. The interlayer spacing between the V overlayer and the Pd surface layer is the largest for the antiferromagnetic configuration. In the relaxed antiferromagnetic structure, the magnitude of the calculated magnetic moments on the V atoms was $1.31\;{\mu}_B$. The presence of the vanadium monolayer does not affect the paramagnetic properties of the Pd(001) surface.

Stance is defined as any state in which the total mass of the body is supported by the feet. In order to maintain stance, the sum of gravito-inertial forces acting on the body must be registered by equal and opposite forces at the region of contact between the organism and the support surface. Balance is controlled by applying forces to the surface of support so as to maintain the body's center of mass vertically above the feet. for a muIti-segment organism, there can be a variety of ways in which balance can be controlled, since movements of different body segments can have similar effects on the control of balance. In general, the organism tends to have a body configuration that is aligned with gravito-inertial force when there are no external forces acting on it. If any segments of the body are not aligned with gravito-inertial force vector, a torque on that segment would tend to move the body's center of mass. The maintenance of postural stability is accomplished in humans by a complex neural control system. This requires organizing integrating and acting upon visual, vestibular, and somatosensory input, providing orientation information to the postural control system. The information necessary to control and coordinate movement is provided by the visual sense of eye position with respect to the surrounding surface layout, the vestibular sense of head orientation in the gravito-inertial space, and the somatic sense of body segment position relative to one another and to the support surface. In this study, perception and action capability was examined from various points of view. The underlying assumption of the study was that the change of postural configuration could be effected by organism, environment and task goal.

본 연구에서는 RAE "A" 날개-축대칭 동체 형상을 이용하여 유동흐름 방향, Span 방향과 동체 둘레 방향(${\phi}$ 방향)에 따라 격자에 대한 수렴성 및 비행체의 압력 분포 변화를 수치적으로 연구하였다. 아음속 및 천음속 영역 조건에서 $k-{\omega}$ Wilcox-Durbin+ 난류 모델을 사용하여 2차 정확도의 수치적 해를 예측하는 유동해석을 수행하였다. 아음속 유동 조건에서는 해석결과가 실험결과와 매우 잘 일치하였으나, 충격파가 존재하는 천음속 유동에서는 약간의 차이가 발생하였다. Cubic spline을 사용하는 외삽 방법으로 격자 수렴성을 검토하였다. 외삽 방법을 통해 회전 방향의 격자 조밀도가 격자 수렴성에 가장 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 격자 수렴성에 대한 검토 결과를 바탕으로 더 조밀한 격자를 생성하였다. 이를 통해 특히 RAE-A 형상의 축대칭 동체 표면에서 더 정확한 해석 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보였다.

촉매를 사용한 전기화학적 암모니아 생산은 주변 온도 및 압력 조건, 환경 친화적인 작동 및 고순도 암모니아 생산을 가능하게 함으로써 전통적인 하버-보쉬 방법을 대체할 대안으로서 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 제1원리 계산을 사용하여 루테늄 촉매의 표면에서 발생하는 질소 환원 반응에 초점을 맞춘다. 루테늄의 (0001) 및 (1000) 표면에서 질소 환원에 대한 반응 경로를 모델링하여 반응 구조를 최적화하고 각 단계에 대한 유리한 경로를 예측했다. 각 표면에서의 N₂의 흡착 구성은 후속 반응 활동에 상당한 영향을 미쳤으며, 깁스자유에너지 분석은 가장 유리한 질소 환원 구성을 도출하였다. 루테늄의 (0001) 표면에서는 질소 분자가 표면에 수직으로 흡착하는 end-on 형태가 가장 유리한 N₂ 흡착에너지가 나타났으며 유사하게, (1000) 표면에서도 end-on 형태가 안정적인 흡착 에너지 값을 보였다. 이어서, distal 및 alternating 구성 모두에서 최적화된 수소 흡착을 통해 NH₃의 최종 탈착까지 이론적으로 완전한 반응 경로를 설명했다.
