Statement of problem : The joints of removable partial denture alloys have failed frequently after routine usage. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of the laser welded Co-Cr alloys. Material and method : For this study 20 Co-Cr specimens were casted and 10 of them were seperated on the middle area and laser welded with Alpha laser welding machine(Siro Lasertec, Pforzheim, Germany). Rest of them which were as cast, were used as a control group. For the section of the experimental specimens, wire cutting machine was used to make a even gap of the all specimens. Laser welding was done with manufacturer's instrunction and tested each specimen by Instron Machine. Tensile strength, 0.2% yield strength and % elongations were recorded. Fractured surfaces were investigated with SEM. Results : The results were as follows : 1. The tensile strength of the laser welded group(617.7MPa) was about 75% of the as cast group(820.4MPa). It had stastically significant differences(p<0.05). 2. The % elongation of the experimental group was 6.6 which was lower than the control group(14.3). 3. Fracture of the experimental group occured in the welded surface and showed many voids. In contrast, the fracture surface of the control group was showed rough surfaces without any voids. Conclusion : The tensile strengths of the as-cast joints were higher than those for the laser welded joints, and the % elongation of the experimental group was lower than the control group. Porosity was found in laser-welded joints.

Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) based on a semiconducting polymer have been fabricated using an organic patterning methodology. Laser assisted lift-off (LALO) technique, ablating selectively the hydrophobic layer by an excimer laser, was used for producing a semiconducting polymer channel in the OTFT with high resolution. The selective wettability of a semiconducting polymer, poly (9-9-dioctylfluorene-co-bithiophene) (F8T2), dissolved in a polar solvent was found to define precisely the pattering resolution of the active channel. It is demonstrated that in the F8T2 TFTs fabricated using the LALO technique and is applicable for the larger area display.

For developing 5-axis laser cutting systems, many problems such as rotating of laser head or table, 5-axis tool path generation and collision avoidance between laser head and product should be solved. In this paper, a five-axis laser cutting machine with table swivel and rotary type configuration is developed. The five axes (X,Y,Z,A,B) are controlled and interfaced to PC via MMC board. Two kinds of CAM S/W such as commercial 5-axis CAM S/W(Euclid) and UG-API are engaged to generate NC code for the developed 5-axis laser cutting machine.

To enhance the performance of photovoltaic a-Si:H solar cells with a hybrid-type light absorbing structure of single crystal silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) in a-Si:H matrix, single crystal Si NPs were produced by laser pyrolysis. The Si NPs were synthesized by $SiH_4$ gas decomposition using a $CO_2$ laser. The properties of Si NPs were controlled by process parameters such as $CO_2$ laser power, reactive gas pressure, and $H_2/SiH_4$ gas flows. The crystalline properties and sizes of Si NPs were analyzed by High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). The sizes of Si NPs were controllable in the range of 5-15 nm in diameter and the effects of process parameters of laser pyrolysis were systematically investigated.

$CoFe_2O_4(CFO)/BaTiO_3(BTO)/CoFe_2O_4(CFO)$ multilayered thin films were deposited on $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ substrates by the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system with KrF excimer laser (${\lambda}=248nm$). BTO, CFO, BTO/CFO and CFO/BTO/CFO structured thin films were prepared and their crystal structures and microstructures, as well as their magnetic and magneto-electrical properties, were studied. The C-V characteristics of these multilayered thin films with different capacitor structures were obtained to confirm the change in their capacitances under a magnetic field. Finally, the capacitance of the CFO/BTO/CFO thin film as a function of bias voltage under an in-plane magnetic field of 1,000 Oe increased to 951.04 pF at 1 MHz, from 831.90 pF measured under no magnetic field, indicating 14.3% increase in magnetocapacitance.

The maximum butt-joint gap size in $CO_2$ laser beam welding of SAPH steel plates with different thicknesses and its bending formability were studied. In the range of the gap size$\geq$0.1mm, the optimal butt welding speed was faster than that of no gap (air gap) condition. This behaviour was independent on the difference of thickness at any combination. Also, the allowable gap size in steel plates with different thicknesses was larger than with same thicknesses. In the range of $T/T_0$(bead shape) $\geq$ 0.8, good bending formability was obtained at any combination of thickness. The formability was improved by reducing the hardness in weld bead using pre-heating process. Finally, FEM result of the laser beam welded underframe with different thicknesses was compared to that of the conventional spot welded underframe.

This study has been performed to predict beam absorption with analysis of temperature field by using a FEM in co /sab 2/ laser hardening and to invesrigate into some effects of power density and travel speed of laser beam on the microstructure and hardness of ductile cast iron treated by laser surface hardening technique. Optical micrograph has shown that large martensite and small amount of retained austenite appear in inside hardened zone. Hardness measurement has revealed that the range of maximum hardness value is Hv=415 .+-. 10. The power density increases and the travel speed decreases, the depth of hardened zone increases due to increase of input power density.

Laser cladding processing allows rapid transfer of heat to the material being processed with minimum conduction into base metal, resulting in low total heat input. The effects of $CO_2$ laser cladding with powder feeding on mechanical properties of VERSAlloy were studied. Their low melting point (under 1093$^{\circ}C$) enables overlays to be applied with minimum dilution and base metal distortion. Experiment results indicated that powder feeding speed and quantity were important for laser cladding with powder feeding. The powder feeding speed should be adapted according to cladding speed for good shaping of clad layer. The effect of heat on the HAZ size can be limited and the growth of grain size of HAZ size was not serious.

This paper reports a case of type 1 posterior glottic stenosis in a 60-year-old woman that was misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma. The patient was intubated at another hospital after ingesting herbicide and extubated seven days later. Although her voice changed, she had not received treatment at that time. She visited a local internal medicine clinic when her condition deteriorated to the point of dyspnea, but several months of treatment for bronchial asthma failed to improve her symptoms. Upon admission to the author's hospital, a laryngoscopic examination revealed a type 1 posterior glottic stenosis, which was removed surgically using a CO₂ laser.
