In this paper, we analysed correlation between scores and posture of amateur archer with inertial sensor based motion analysis system. Four 13 to 15 yeared subjects are participated and accelerations of upper and forearms are measured during shooting. Each subject carried out six end. And they shoot arrows six times per each end from 30 meters away. We extracted and analyzed acceleration values during full throw. In the case of left arm, we could not found any meaningful correlation with score. Meanwhile, acceleration values of right arm have certain correlation with score. It seems that aiming skill of right arm is very important while left arm settles stably.

Flexible electronics have been to the fore because it is believed that flexibility can add incredible value such as light weight and mobility into the existing electronic devices and create new markets of large-area and low-cost electronics such as wearable eletronics in near future. Offset printing processes are regarded as major candidates for manufacturing the flexible electronics because they can provide the patterning resolution of micron-size effectively in large-area. In view of mechanics, the most important viewpoint in offset printing is how to achieve the synchronized movement of two contact surfaces in order to prevent slip between two contact surfaces and distortion of the blanket surface during ink transfer so that the high-resolution and good-overlay patterns can be printed. In this paper, a novel low-cost measurement method of the synchronization error using the motor control output signals is proposed and the compensation method is presented to minimize the synchronization error.

Fiber is an important ingredient in strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC), which can control fracture of cementitious composite by bridging action. The properties of reinforcing fiber, as tensile strength, aspect ratio and elastic modulus, have great effect on the fracture behavior of SHCC. But SHCC has serious problem as drying shrinkage because silica powder is used to make SHCC in order to improve bond strength between reinforcing fibers and cement matrix. Therefore, curing method (period and temperature) is very important for SHCC to show high tensile performance. a variety of experiments have being performed to access the performance of SHCC recently. This research emphasis is on the mechanical properties of SHCC made in Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Polyethylene (PE) fibers and steel cord (SC), and how curing method affects the composite property, and ultimately its strain-hardening performance.

This paper proposes a method of non-linearity error detection and calibration for binary-weighted charge-driven DACs. In general, the non-linearity errors of DACs often occur due to the mismatch of layout designs or process variation, even when careful layout design methods and process calibration are adopted. Since such errors can substantially degrade the SNDR performance of DAC, it is crucial to accurately measure the errors and calibrate the design mismatches. The proposed method employs 2 identical DAC circuits. The 2 DACs are sweeped, respectively, by using 2 digital input counters with a fixed difference. A comparator identifies any non-linearity errors larger than an acceptable discrepancy. We also propose a calibration method that can fine-tune the DAC's capacitor sizes iteratively until the comparator finds no further errors. Simulations are presented, which show that the proposed method is effective to detect the non-linearity errors and calibrate the capacitor mismatches of a 12-bit DAC design of binary-weighted charge-driven structure.

Lead-free $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$ 압전 세라믹스는 다양한 광소자로의 응용과 압전 특성, 초전 특성을 이용한 압전 소자로의 응용이 가능한 재료로 보고되고 있다. 그러나 KNN계 압전소재 특성상 판상 형태의 결정립으로 인해 낮은 소결 밀도를 갖게 되고, 그로인해 압전물성의 저하를 초래하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본연구에서는 다양한 밀링 방법을 적용하여 입자 사이즈를 작게 하고 소성체의 결정립을 구형화 함으로써 저온소결에서의 압전물성을 개선시키고자 한다. $(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})NbO_3$를 기계적 분쇄법에 의해 입자사이즈에 따라 변화되는 상의 분석과 압전체로서의 특성을 관찰하였다. 결정학적 상분석 및 미세 조직은 XRD, SEM을 이용하여 관찰하였고, Capacitance는 Impedance analyzer(HP4192A)로 측정하였으며, Impedance 주파수 특성은 Network Analyzer로 측정하여 Kp, Kt와 Qm을 측정하였다.

This paper proposes a new motion estimation algorithm that employs matching in a variable search area. Instead of uisg a fixed search range for coarse motion estimation, we examine a varying search range, which is determined adaptively by the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of the frame difference. The hexagonal matching method is one of the refined methods in image warping. It produces improved image quality, but it requires a large amount of computataions. The proposed adaptive partial matching method reduces computational complexity below about 50% of the hexagonal matching method, while maintaining the image quality comparable. The performance of two motion compensation methods, which combine the affine or bilinear transformation with the proposed motion estimation algorithm, is evaluated based on the following criteria:computtational complexity, number of coding bits, and reconstructed image quality. The quality of reconstructed images by the proposed method is substantially improved relative to the conventional BMA method, and is comparable to the full hexagonal matching method;in addition, computational complexity and the number of coding bits are reduced significantly.

This paper describes the design of the Register Controlled DLL(Delay-Locked Loop) that achieves fast locking and low Power consumption using a new locking algorithm. A fashion for a fast locking speed is that controls the two controller in sequence. The up/down signal due to clock skew between a internal and a external clock in phase detector, first adjusts a large phase difference in coarse controller and then adjusts a small phase difference in fine controller. A way for a low power consumption is that only operates one controller at once. Moreover the proposed DLL shows better jitter performance Because using the lock indicator circuit. The proposed DLL circuit is operated from 50MHz to 200MHz by SPICE simulation. The estimated power dissipation is 15mA at 200MHz in 3.3V operation. The locking time is within 7 cycle at all of operating frequency.

The effects of mechanical grinding(MG) treatment on the hydrogen storage of $Mg_2Ni$ alloy and $Mg_2Ni$ composite alloy($Mg_2Ni+graphite$) were investigated by pressure-composition-temperature(PCT) measurement, the micro-electrode technique of electrochemistry and etc, in which PCT was measured at high temperature(around $300[^{\circ}C]$) of gas phase and a carbon-filament micro-electrode for electrochemical evaluation was manipulated to make electrical contact with the particle in 1M KOH aqueous solution. It was found that the hydrogenation properties of $Mg_2Ni$ and graphite composite particle were greatly improved by the mechanical grinding treatment by which the $Mg_2Ni$ and graphite composite alloys could be changed into microstructure and nano-level particles. namely; the hydrogen dissociation pressure of PCT measurement was decreased from 0.55[MPa] to 0.42[MPa] and hydrogenation peaks by micro-electrode were also observed more clearly on the same sample.

A probe card is used in testing semiconductor wafers. It must maintain a precise location tolerance for a fine pitch due to highly densified chips. However, high heat transferred from its lower chuck causes thermal deformations of the probe card. Vertical deformation due to the heat will bring contact problems to the pins in the probe card, while horizontal deformation will cause positional inaccuracies. Therefore, probe cards must be designed with proper materials and structures so that the thermal deformations are within allowable tolerances. In this paper, heat transfer analyses under realistic loading conditions are simulated using ANSYS$^{TM}$ finite element analysis program. Thermal deformations are calculated based on steady-state temperature gradients, and an optimal structure of the probe card is proposed by adjusting a set of relevant design parameters so that the deformations are minimized.
