For lithium secondary microbattery anode, the tin oxide thin films with Si addition (0, 2, 6, 10, 20 ㏖%) were prepared with R.F. magnetron sputtering at substrate temperature of 30$0^{\circ}C$ and Ar:O$_2$=7:3 atmosphere. As Si addition amount increased, Si-O bonding density increased and Sn-O bonding density decreased. The addition of optimum Si amount led the decrease of Sn oxidation state so that the irreversible capacity reduced and cycle characteristic enhanced during charge-discharge test. SnO$_2$films with 6 ㏖% Si had the highest reversible capacity of 700 mAh/g after 100 cycles.

The cooling performance of a transcritical $CO_2$ cycle varies significantly with a variation of refrigerant charge amount. In this study, the performance of the $CO_2$ system was measured and analyzed by varying refrigerant charge amount with a change of cycle option. The applied cycle options are the single-stage compression system, two-stage compression with 1-EEV system, and two-stage compression with 2- EEV system. The optimum normalized charge were 0.363, 0.297, and 0.282 for the two-stage compression with 2-EEV system, two-stage compression with 1-EEV system, and single-stage compression system, respectively.

This paper suggests a fault diagnosis of damage on inner liner of regeneratively-cooled combustion chamber during gas generator cycle rocket engine hot firing test. This method focuses on a phenomenon that fuel flow rate difference between two flow estimate methods changes under an inner liner damage of combustion chamber causing fuel leakage and it is expected that it contributes to detect a damage on the combustion chamber in early stage and prevent further destruction during the hot firing test.

Cycling Packet Dropping mechanism we proposed in this paper adaptively drops packets, as predicting traffic pattern between each cycle. Therfore the proposed mechanism makes up for the drawback of RIO mechanism and minimizes errors being capable of predicting in Dynamic and Strict Packet Dropping mechanism. And we executed a simulation and analyzed the throughput and packet drop rate based on the Sending Drop Precedence changing dynamically depending on the network traffic. The results show that the proposed mechanism provides better performance on drop precedence levels and stricter drop precedence policy for AF class.

It is often the case that products or services on the market are causing problems, which hurt the business and image of the company. Responding appropriately to the problem and minimizing the damage is very important to business organizations. This study collected and analyzed the news articles related to the recall of the Galaxy Note 7, which was developed and launched by Samsung Electronics, one of the smartphone market leaders. Based on the issue lifecycle, the characteristics of the news were expressed by stages and the contents of the news were analyzed and visualized using association rules. The results of this study are expected to help business organizations to understand the changes and trends of issues and search for counter measures.

Tin oxide films as an anode layer for microbatteries were deposited by using rf magnetron sputtering. Characterization of the films was carried out in terms of working pressure in the range of 5~30 mtorr. Rf power and substrate temperature during deposition were fixed at 2.5W/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and A.T., respectively. The crystal orientation of $SnO_2$films was changed from (110) to (101) or (211) with the increasing working pressure. Refractive index and film density of the films also decreased with the increasing working pressure. The $SnO_2$ thin film formed under optimum conditions was found to have a reversible capacity of 446.9$\mu$Ah/$\textrm{cm}^2$-$\mu\textrm{m}$ and good reversibility when the working pressure was fixed at 10mtorr. As the working pressure decreased, film density increased. It was thought that the capacity of $SnO_2$films increased due to the increase in the amount of active materials which can react with Li electrochemically. Furthermore, cycle characteristics of the anode material was also influenced by film stress.

An experimental study of accelerated weathering on mudstone sample specimens from Haman, Gyeongnam was performed to investigate the variations of physico-mechanical properties of deteriorated rocks due to freeze-thaw weathering. Each complete cycle of freeze and thaw lasted 24 hours, comprising 2 hours of saturating in vacuum chamber, 8 hours of freezing at $-16{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ and 14 hours of thawing at room temperature. Total of 55 cycles of freeze-thaw were completed with measuring the index properties as well as geometries of microfractures. The measured specific gravity and P-wave velocity found to decrease with increasing freeze-thaw cycles. On the other hand, absorption ratio and effective porosity were continuously increased with increasing freeze-thaw cycles. It was found that the index properties of deteriorated sample specimen depend on its initial properties and flaws in rock. The size and density of the traces of the microfracture on slab specimen exhibited abrupt changes after 30 cycles of freeze-thaw weathering. The results obtained in this study show that the box fractal dimension($D_B$) given in this paper has the strong capability of quantifying the size and density of the microfracture.

The study on electrode degradation of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) was mainly studied on the particle growth and active area reduction of Pt on the electrode. The degradation of the electrode catalyst Pt in contact with the membrane affects the deterioration of the polymer membrane, but there are not many studies related to this. In this study, the phenomenon of the deposition of deteriorated Pt inside the polymer membrane during the accelerated electrode catalyst degradation test and its effects were studied. The voltage change (0.6 V ↔ 0.9 V) was repeated up to 30,000 cycles to accelerate the platinum degradation rate. When the voltage change cycle was repeated while oxygen was introduced into the cathode, the amount of Pt deposited inside the film was larger than when nitrogen was introduced. As the number of voltage change cycles increased, the amount of Pt deposited inside the membrane increased, and Pt dissolved in the cathode moved toward the anode, showing a uniform distribution throughout the membrane at 20,000 cycles. In the process of the accelerated electrode catalyst degradation test, the hydrogen crossover current density of the membrane did not change, and it was confirmed that the deposited Pt did not affect the durability of the membrane.

Global full 3D finite element analysis fatigue models are constructed for flip-chip BGA on system board to predict the creep fatigue life of solder joints during the thermal cycling test. The fatigue model applied is based on Darveaux's empirical equation approach with non-linear viscoplastic analysis of solder joints. The creep life was estimated the creep life as the variations of the four kinds of thermal cycling test conditions, pad structure, composition and size of solder ball. The shortest fatigue life was obtained at the thermal cycling test condition from $-65^{\circ}C$ to $150^{\circ}C$. It was increased about 3.5 times in comparison with that from $0^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. At the same conditions, the fatigue life of SMD structure as the change of pad structure increased about 5.7% as compared with NSMD structure. Consequently, it was confirmed that the fatigue life became short as the creep strain energy density increased in solder joint.

In injection molding, the mold temperature is one of most important process parameters that affect the flow characteristics and part deformation. The mold temperature usually varies periodically owing to the effects of the hot polymer melt and the cold coolant as the molding cycle repeats. In this study, a pulsed mold temperature control was proposed to improve the part quality as well as the productivity by alternatively circulating hot water and cold water before and after the molding stage, respectively. Transient thermal-fluid coupled analyses were performed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of the proposed pulsed mold heating and cooling system. The simulation results were then compared with those of the conventional mold cooling system in terms of the heating and cooling efficiencies of the proposed pulsed mold temperature control system.
