Micro electrochemical machining was investigated to machine micro internal features. This method uses a micro disk tool electrode and can easily machine micro features inside of a micro hole, which are very difficult to make by the conventional processes. In order to limit the machining area and localize the electrochemical dissolution, ultra short pulses were used as power source and a micro disk electrode with insulating layer on its surface was used as a tool electrode. By electrochemical process, internal features, such as groove array, were fabricated on the stainless steel plate.

The purpose of this study is to optimize a parallel-hole collimator for small gamma camera having the pixellated crystal array and evaluate the effect of crystal-collimator misalignment on the image quality using a simulation tool GATE (Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission). The spatial resolution and sensitivity were measured for the various size of hexagonal-hole and matched square-hole collimators with a Tc-99m point source and the uniformity of flood image was estimated as a function of the angle between crystal array and collimator by misalignment. The results showed that the spatial resolution and sensitivity were greatly improved by using the matched collimator and the uniformity was reduced by crystal-collimator misalignment.

Recently, with the development of semiconductor technology the miniaturization of products as well as parts and the products with high precision are being required. In addition as a national competitive power is increasingly effected by micro part development through micro machining and the secure of micro machining technology, the study of micro machining technology is being conducted in many countries. The goal of this study is to fabricate micro tool under the size of 30$\mu\textrm{m}$ and machine micro holes through micro tool fabrication by grinding, the application of ELID to grinding wheel and the measurement of surface roughness for micro tool.

In addition, as the national competitiveness is increasingly affected by the development of the micro parts through micro machining technology, the study of the micro machining technology is being conducted in many countries. The goal of this study is to fabricate micro tools under the size of $20{\mu}m$ and to machine micro holes using them. The fabrication is done by grinding and the application of ELID to the grinding wheel. The surface roughness of the micro tools is measured to evaluate the study.

일반, 혹은 신경외과 의사가 작은 수술부위의 구멍을 통해 미세한 혈관수술 등을 할 때, 혹은 치과의사가 환자의 입을 통해서 입 속을 치료할 때, 수술 혹은 치료를 하는 대상의 크기는 굵은 혈관의 경우 지름이 30~40$\mu\textrm{m}$, 치아 속 신경의 역시 굵은 경우에 2.8$\mu$m 에 지나지 않는다. 그러나 일반적인 눈의 분해능은 1분인데, 이는 40cm의 거리에 있는 0.06mm 크기의 물체(9lp／mm)를 구분하는 능력이다. 특별한 광학장비 없이 물체에 가까이 감으로써 시력을 향상시킬 수는 있지만 단순히 가까이 다가가는 것만으로는 수술과 같은 섬세한 임상작업을 하는데는 제한이 많고, 특히 작은 구멍이나 좁은 관을 통해 가까운 물체를 볼 때는 양안 시차의 불일치(stereofocusing) 문제가 발생한다.

일반적인 근접장 현미경은 광섬유 팁 (tip) 끝에 수십 nm 크기의 구멍을 이용하여 근접장을 발생시키거나 측정한다. 근접장은 전파되는 빛보다 미세한 구조의 정보를 반영하게 되는데 수십 나노미터의 구멍대신 FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer)이라는 현상을 근접장 현미경에 적용하고자 한다. 10 nm 이내의 거리에서 상호작용을 하는 이 현상을 이용하여 광학적 분해능을 향상시킬 수 있다. FRET 현상의 도우너(donor)로서는 양자점을 사용하였으며 억셉터(acceptor) 로서는 Cy5 염료를 사용하였다. 팁으로는 광섬유를 에칭한 팁에 Cy5 염료를 코팅한 팁과 광섬유의 코어(core) 부근에 양자점이 포함된 광 폴리머를 응고시켜서 만들어진 팁을 사용하였다. 팁에 위치한 도우너와 시료로 사용되는 억셉터를 FRET 상호 작용 거리 내로 접근시키기 위하여 tuning fork를 이용한 shear force control을 사용하였다. 한 점에서의 접근 과정에서 FRET의 현상의 특징으로서 도우너인 양자점의 형광이 약해지고 Cy5의 형광이 강해지는 것을 측정하였다. 또한, 양자점을 Cy5 염료에 근접시켰을 때 발광 생존시간 (lifetime)이 짧아지는 것을 관찰하여 FRET 현상을 재확인 하였다.

This study was conducted with the aim of developing a venturi-type air supply system for a microbubble generator. In order to determine the influence of the varying geometry of the venturi tube on the flow characteristics, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed using the commercial CFD software ANSYS CFX-15. Furthermore, in order to elucidate the effects of variation in major design dimensions such as the air supply hole size, position of holes, and number of holes on the air supply characteristics, two-phase multiflow CFD analysis was performed. The analysis results showed that the starting point of expansion on the venturi tube with 0.75 is the best hole position and that the air supply hole size and the number of holes are linearly proportional to the amount of air.

The culticular substructure of the venom apparatus in the orb-web spider Araneus ventricosus are studied with scanning electron microscopy. The apparatus is composed of chelicera and paired venom glands in the cephalothorax. Each chelicera consists of a basal segment and a movable fang that articulates with each other. The chelicera of this spider is labidognathous form that moves at right angles to the body axis, and has two segments similar to that of a folding jackknife. Each cylindrical fang has a specialized hinge joint which articulate with the cheliceral groove which contains numerous small protrusions. In addition, each side of cheliceral groove is covered with a total of 7 cuticular teeth in two rows which composed of 4 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth. It has been also observed that a single venom pore is always located toward the direction of retromarginal teeth, and surface cuticular pits are distributed on the cuticular depressive area of cheliceral groove.

When micro holes are machined by EDM, machining characteristics of machined holes are changed according to the machining conditions. Typical machining conditions are the kind of dielectric fluids, capacitance and ultrasonic vibrations. They influence electrode wear, machining time, radial clearance and taper angle. In this paper, machined holes whose depths are 300, 500, $1000\;{\mu}m$ are observed for each machining conditions. Using deionized water as a dielectric fluid makes electrode wear small, machining time short, radial clearance large and taper angle small. High capacitance makes electrode wear high. Ultrasonic vibrations make electrode wear large, machining time short, radial clearance small and taper angle small. From the results of experiments, the optimal machining conditions were obtained to machine highly qualified micro holes.

The possibility of micro/nano machining through electro-chemical process is discussed in this research. Electro-chemical dissolution region is localized within 1 ${\mu}m$ by applying ultra short pulses with tens of nanosecond duration. The effects of voltage, pulse duration, and pulse frequency on the localization distance are investigated. Localization distance can be manipulated by controlling the voltage and pulse duration, and various hole shapes are produced including stepped holes and taper free hole. High quality micro-hole with 8 ${\mu}m$ diameter with 20 ${\mu}m$ depth and micro-groove with 9 ${\mu}m$ width with 10 ${\mu}m$ depth are machined on 304 stainless steel.
