The 2-step manufacturing method consisting of preforming and stamping processes was developed to manufacture composite bipolar plates for PEMFCS. The preform was composed of expanded graphite, graphite flake and phenol resin. Procuring conditions were optimized by checking the electrical conductivity, flexural strength and microstructure. Procuring temperature $(100^{\circ}C)$ slightly above the melting point of phenol powders $(90^{\circ}C)$ induced moderate curing, but also prevented excessive curing. Preforms utilizing the tangled structure of expanded graphite were easily fabricated at low pressure of 0.07-0.28MPa. The proper procuring time, 5min, was determined to fabricate the preform stably because insufficient and excessive procuring deteriorated the flexural strength of composite bipolar plates.

Dynamic instability of rotating disks is the most significant factor to limit its rotating speed. Application of composite materials to rotating disks may enhance the dynamic stability leading to a possible design of rotating disks with lightweight and high speed. Whereas much work has been done on the effect of transverse shear and rotary inertia, called Timoshenko effect, on the dynamic behavior of plates, there is little work on the correlation between the effect and the rotation of disk, especially nothing in case of composite disks. The dynamic equations of a rotating composite disk are formulated with the Timoshenko effect and the vibrational analysis is performed by using a commercial package MSC/NASTRAN. According to the results, the Timoshenko effect goes seesaw in some modes, unlike the well-known fact that the effect decreases as the rotating speed increases. And it can be concluded, based only on the present results, that decrement of the Timoshenko effect by disk rotation grows larger as the thickness ratio decreases, the diameter ratio increases, the modulus ratio increases, and the mode number increases.

온도 성층화는 많은 저수지와 댐에서 흔히 발생하는 현상으로 호수나 저수지의 표면 온도가 바닥보다 상대적으로 높아 깊이에 따른 열 구배를 나타낸다. 이러한 온도 성층화 현상은 여름철과 같이 상부와 하부의 온도 차가 클수록 안정적이게 나타나며 이러한 층화 현상으로 수직 확산이 제어되어 수질에 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 댐이나 호수 등 층화 현상이 심한 유체 내부 바닥에 물순환장치를 설치하여 외부로부터 공기를 끌어와 하부에서 공기를 분출하여 온도 성층을 약화시키기도 한다. 물순환 장치를 설비하면 수체의 혼합이 용이해지며 물질전달이 개선되어 수질이 향상된다. 국내의 경우 대청댐, 보령댐, 영주 댐 등 많은 국내 댐 내부에 물순환장치가 설비되어있다. 본 연구에서 댐의 물순환장치의 성능을 파악하기 위해 산기식 물순환 장비가 설치되어있는 영주댐을 연구 대상 지역으로 잡았다. 연구지역의 계절별 성층구조 및 특성을 조사하기 위해, 봄, 여름, 가을 영주댐에 방문하여 관측 자료를 취득하였으며 물순환 장치는 봄철의 경우만 가동하였다. 봄철의 물순환 장치 가동 전후 관측 데이터를 바탕으로 수치모형실험을 실행하여 관측 결과와 비교 및 검증하였다. 이를 바탕으로 여름, 가을에 물순환장치를 가동하였을 경우 댐 내부 수체의 혼합과정을 살펴보는 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구는 CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 위해 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 OpenFOAM(version 4.0)에서 열 전달이 포함되어있는 비압축성 VOF 솔버를 사용하였다. 본 솔버는 물과 공기를 동시에 나타낼 수 있으며 온도의 확산 방정식을 포함하고 있다. 또한 유동해석 수행 시 사용한 물순환장치의 효울은 실제 장치의 효율과 동일하다. 본 연구의 목표는 다음과 같다. (1) 관측만으로 파악하기 어려운 수체의 혼합거동을 유동해석 자료를 통해 면밀히 살펴보고 (2) 봄철 물순환 장치가 작동하기 전후 자료를 바탕으로 여름 및 가을철 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 유동해석 자료로 취득한다. (3) 또한 물순환장치 가동 전후 데이터를 통해 계절별 혼합 효율을 취득한다.

In this paper, the breakdown voltage of Pi-LDMOS (Partial isolation lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor) was analyzed by simulation. Breakdown voltage variation is investigated under various settings of Parial buied oxide(P-BOX) parameters(length, thickness, location) and their mechanism is specified. In addition, the change in on-resistance in the breakdown voltage and trade-off relationship was analyzed according to the change in the P-BOX parameter, and the Figure-of-merit(FOM) was calculated and compared. In proposed structure, Lbox=5 ㎛, tbox=2 ㎛, and Lbc=2 ㎛ showed the highest breakdown voltage of 138V, and Lbox=5 ㎛, tbox=1.6 ㎛, and Lbc=2 ㎛ showed the highest FOM. Compared to conventional LDMOS, the breakdown voltage is 123% and FOM is 3.89 times improved. Therefore, Pi-LDMOS has a high breakdown voltage and FOM, which can contribute to the improvement of the stable operating range of the Power IC.

Kitchen cabinets are essential furniture for storing the kitchen tools, but their high installed location makes it difficult for users to access the upper of the cabinets. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new type of kitchen cabinet that allows users to easily take out or store items by adding new height adjustment features while maintaining the function of the existing cabinet. For convenience and safety, an appropriate complex link mechanism is designed so that the selected floor, not the entire cabinet, can come down to a desired height with one operation. Moreover, the optimal descent path is set to prevent the floor tilting or interfloor interference during descent, and appropriate link shapes, lengths, and joint types are selected to implement it. FEA analysis is performed to ensure that the stretched complex linkage can support the load of the stored items and the feasibility of the height adjustable kitchen cabinet is verified through fabrication.

This paper addresses the design optimization of capacitorless DRAM(one-transistor DRAM., 1T-DRAM), which has gained attention as a next-generation memory technology. To overcome the limitations of conventional capacitor-based DRAM, an asymmetric dual-gate structure is proposed to enhance retention time and overall performance. The zero-temperature coefficient (ZTC) point is set at 1.25 V to minimize performance degradation due to temperature variations. Current-voltage characteristics were analyzed at various temperatures (300K-400K), confirming stable memory operation at the ZTC point, even under temperature fluctuations. The proposed design demonstrates reliable operation at high temperatures, proving the potential for high-efficiency, highly reliable memory technology. As a result, the 1T-DRAM device can make a significant contribution to the development of next-generation memory devices.

육각형 구조를 지닌 2차원의 물질인 그래핀은 우수한 전도도와 투과율로 투명전극의 신소재로 각광 받고 있다. 특히, 그래핀은 현재 투명전극으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 Indium Tin Oxide(ITO)로는 구현하기 힘든 Flexible display의 어플리케이션으로 사용하기 위한 목적으로 많은 기술 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 그래핀의 응용은 가장 먼저 그래핀의 생산이 안정적이고 원활히 이루어질 때 실질적으로 가능할 것이다. 하지만, 탄소로 이루어진 그래핀의 성장은 제한된 기판 위에서만 가능하기 때문에 성장이 이루어진 그래핀을 다른 기판에 전사시켜야하는 문제점이 있다. 그래핀 전사방법에는 직접전사, PMMA 전사, TRT 전사, 금속전사, 망전사, PDMS 전사 등 다양한 방법이 있다. 이 중에서 현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 전사방법으로는 직접전사, PMMA 전사, TRT 전사 방법이 있다. 직접전사의 경우 니켈위에 성장된 다층의 그래핀을 전사시킬 때 많이 사용되는 방법으로 니켈 에천트에 전사 시킬 그래핀을 띄워 니켈을 녹인 후 원하는 기판을 이용하여 전사하는 간단한 방법이다. 직접전사는 전사가 이루어진 후 그래핀에 남는 결함이 거의 존재 하지 않는 장점이 있지만 문제점은 단일층의 그래핀의 경우 니켈 에천트위에서 잘 보이지 않을 뿐 아니라 에천트에서 기판으로 전사할 때 너무 얇은 막으로 인해 다 찢어져버린다는 것이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 사용되는 전사 방법으로 TRT를 이용하여 구리위에 성장된 그래핀을 상온 시에는 점성을 가진 테이프를 이용해 부치고 구리에 천트에 구리를 녹인 후 원하는 기판위에 놓고 열을 가해 그래핀을 전사하는 방법이 있다. TRT 전사방법은 얇은 막의 그래핀을 찢어지지 않도록 지지해주어 대면적 기판위에도 전사 할 수 있는 장점이 있지만 전사 후 그래핀에 남아 있는 잔여물들이 많고(그림 1. (b)), 테이프를 이용한다는 점에서 그래핀의 얇은 막이 손상될 수 있는 단점이 있다. 그렇기 때문에 본 연구에서는 직접전사와 TRT전사의 문제점들인 전사 후 잔여물와 그래핀 단일층의 손상을 최소화할 수 있는 방법으로 PMMA전사를 가장 적합한 전사방법이라는 것을 라만 분석, 면 저항측정, 그래핀을 이용한 LED제작을 통해서 살펴 보았다. 먼저 라만 분석을 이용해 TRT전사 후 상당히 많은 빈 공간이 생김을 확인할 수 있었으며, 결과적으로 면 저항이 약 $1.5k{\Omega}$~$3M{\Omega}$까지 PMMA의 약 0.9~1.2 $k{\Omega}$와 비교했을 때 큰 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 이후 각각의 전사방법으로 얻은 그래핀을 LED의 스프레딩 층으로 제작한 결과에서도 TRT전사방법보다 PMMA전사방법의 결과가 좋음을 알 수 있었다(그림 2).

An important research challenge about the traditional Internet environment is to enable open networking architecture on which end users are able to innovate the Internet based on the technologies of network programmability, virtualization, and federation. The SDN (Software Defined Network) technology that includes OpenFlow protocol specifications, is suggested as a major driver for the open networking architecture, and is closely coupled with the classical Internet (non-SDN). Therefore, it is very important to keep the integrated SDN and non-SDN network infrastructure reliable from the view point of network operators and engineers. Under this background, this paper proposes an operations and management framework for the combined software defined network environment across not only a single-domain network, but also multi-domain networks. The suggested framework is designed to allow SDN controllers and DvNOC systems to interact with each other to achieve sustainable end-to-end user-oriented SDN and non-SDN integrated network environment. Plus, the proposed scheme is designed to apply enhanced functionalities on DvNOC to support four major network failure scenarios over the combined network infrastructure, mainly derived from SDN controllers, SDN devices, and the connected network paths.

Zirconia has white color and physical, chemical stability, also using in high temperature materials and various industrial structural ceramics such as heat insulating materials and refractories due to their low thermal conductivity, excellent strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. If hydrophobically modified zirconia is introduced into a hydrophobic acrylate coating solution, the hardness, chemical, electrical, and optical properties will be improved due to the better dispersibility of inorganic particle in organic coating media. Thus, we introduced $-CH_3$ group through silylation reaction using either trimethylchlorosilane(TMCS) or hexamethyldisilazane(HMDZ) on zirconia surface. The $Si-CH_3$ peaks derived from TMCS and HMDZ on hydrophobically modified zirconia surface was confirmed by FT-IR ATR spectroscopy, and introduction of silicon was confirmed by FE-SEM/EDS and ICP-AES. In addition, the sedimentation rate result in acrylate monomer of the modified zirconia showed the improved dispersibility. Comparison of the sizes of a pristine and the modified zirconia particles, which were clearly measured not by the normal microscope but by particle size analysis, provided a pulverizing was occurred by physical force during the silylation process. From the BET analysis data, the specific surface area of zirconia was approximately $18m^2/g$ and did not significantly change during modification process.
