  • 무선센서네트워크를 위한 무선센서노드는 한정된 전력원을 이용하여 수천에서 수만시간의 동작을 가능하게 해야하므로 초저전력 (Ultra Low Power: ULP) 소모가 매우 중요한 설계 요구조건이 된다. 이를 위해 센서노드의 동작 주기(Duty Cycling)를 제어하는 기법이 전체 전력소모를 줄이는 매우 중요한 기술로 사용되고 있다. 회로의 전력 소모 감소를 위한 몇 가지 중요한 기술에는 회로적으로는 전류 재사용기술과 송수선기 구조로는 Super-regenerative 구조와 On-Off Keying 송수신기 구조가 있다. 또한 ULP Radio가 휴면모드에도 Wake-up을 가능하게 하기 위해서는 초저전력 클락 발생기 회로가 1${\mu}W$이하의 전력소모로 구현할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 사항들을 적절히 고려함으로써 초저전력 CMOS Radio를 구현할 수 있다.

  • Bismuth lanthanum titanate thin films with excess Bi contents were prepared onto Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si substrate by metalorganic decomposition (MOD) technique. The structure and morphology of the films were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. From the XRD analysis, BLT thin films show polycrystalline structure and the layered-perovskite phase was obtained over 10% excess of Bi contents. As a result of ferroelectric characteristics related to the Bi content of the BLT thin film, the remanent polarization and dielectric constant decreased with increasing over Bi content of 10 % excess. The BLT film with Bi content of 10% excess was measured to have a dielectric constant of n9 and dielectric loss of 1.85[%]. The BLT thin films showed little polarization fatigue test up to 3.5 x $10^{9}$ bipolar switching cycling.

  • We have fabricated $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_{3}O_{12}(BLT)$ thin(200nm) films on the $Pt/Ti/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrates using a MOD(Metalorganic decomposition) method with annealing temperature from $550^{\circ}C$ to $750^{\circ}C$.

Scanning electron micrographs showed uniform surface composed of rodlike grains. The grain size increased with increasing annealing temperature. The BLT thin films showed little polarization fatigue test up to $3.5{\times}10^{9}$ bipolar cycling at a 5V and 100kHz.

  • This paper proposes the planning and design of the Eco-village centering around Chindo-ri, Muju-kun. The Eco-village project has three basic objects the Eco-village residents' lives adapting to ecological principles such as regeneration and circulation, life agricultural techniques based on organic cycle, and residents' harmonious lives with the surrounding nature. For constructing of the Eco-village, first, the subject area was analyzed in terms of the natural and cultural environment and then, on this analytic ground the concrete concept and the specific plan were set up. The following details also should be considered: the scale of the residential household, the population, the space arrangement of the village, the material cycling structure, the waste treatment, the purification of the sewage, the energy supply, the landscape architecture, the production activity, the conservation of the ecosystem and so on.

  • The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for all-stolid-state lithium battery. We investigated conductivity, electrochemical properites and impedence spectroscopy of poly(ethylene oxide)[PEO]/poly(vinylidene fluoride)[PVOF] blend electrolytes and charge/discharge cycling of LiCoO$_2$/SPE/Li cell. By adding PVDF and plasticizer to PEO-LICIO$_4$electrolyte, its condustivity was higher than that of PEO-LiCIO$_4$electrolyte. Also PEO$_4$PVDF$_4$LiClO$_4$PC$_{5}$EC$_{5}$ remains stable up to 4.4V vs Li/Li. The discharge capacity of the LiCoO$_2$composite cathode was 92mAh/g based on LiCoO$_2$.EX>.

  • The photorefractive properties of 4% mol magnesium oxide doped lithium niobate have been investigated at room temperature. The recording and erasing time constants were measured as a function of intensity and analyzed by using the two active species (electron-hole) model. The results were used to compute the exposure schedule for multiple hologram recording. We have recorded grating of five holograms by angular multiplexing at room temperature and fixed them by means of a thermal cycling procedure. The highest diffraction efficiency of a fixed grating is up to 50% of an unfixed one.

  • In the past, when there were few vehicles on the road, the T.O.D.(Time of Day) traffic signal worked very well. The T.O.D. signal operates on a preset signal cycling which cycles on the basis of the average number of average passenger cars in the memory device of an electric signal unit. Now days, with increasing many vehicles on restricted roads, the conventional traffic light creates startup-delay time and end-lag-time. The conventional traffic light loses the function of optimal cycle. And so, $30-45\%$ of conventional traffic cycle is not matched to the present traffic cycle. In this paper we proposes electro sensitive traffic light using fuzzy look up table method which will reduce the average vehicle waiting time and improve average vehicle speed. Computer simulation results prove that reducing the average vehicle waiting time which proposed considering passing vehicle length for optimal traffic cycle is better than fixed signal method which doesn't consider vehicle length.

  • Al film(135.5 nm thick) with Pd film(39.6 nm thick) on the top of it was made by thermal evaporation method. Electrical resistance change due to hydrogen absorption and desorption was measured by four point measurement method. The sample was activated by hydrogen absorption and desorption cycling at room temp. Hydrogen was introduced into the film by increasing hydrogen gas pressure step by step up to 640 torr at room temp. The resistance change ratio was decreased to 12 % with increasing hydrogen pressure in contrast to normal metal behavior. This strange tendency was not understood yet. Further study is needed to find out the mechanism of hydrogen absorption in Al in Al/Pd film.

  • Global waste has become a global issue and we can see the new trend of discovery businesses established to focus on solving the waste problem using new renewable energy technology and the circular economy business model. This paper aims to study factors that impact green entrepreneurship in Thailand, such as environmental concern, organizational environment, founder demographics, education background, entrepreneurship awareness, as well as external factors of a business. The study analyzes the data from three qualitative in-depth interviews with green entrepreneur founders who started the businesses in polymer up-cycling, waste management, and renewable energy. The study finds overseas educational background to be one of the key main drivers for the entrepreneurial courage to decide to pursue a new business venture. By having the exposure toward the different culture, three entrepreneurs hands-on experiential learning through three key drivers who are composed of the can-do attitude, the willingness to be self-employed, and the way of seeking for the freedom to express their passions.
