This study was conducted to develope a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (cMUT) which enable to high efficient non-contact transmit and receive the ultrasonic wave in air. Theoretical analysis and finite element analysis of the behavior of membrane (such as resonance frequency, membrane deflection, collapse deflection and collapse voltage) of the cMUT were performed. The design parameters of the cMUT such as the dimension and thickness of membrane, thickness of sacrificial layer, thickness and size of electrode were estimated. The resonance frequency of the membrane increased as the thickness of the membrane increased but decreased as the diameter of the membrane increased. The deflection of the membrane increased as d-c bias voltage increased. The collapse voltage of the membrane was analyzed.

In this study, we carried out the research on triboelectrostatic separation for heavy group plastics (PET, PVC) recovered from wet gravity separation. From the research on charging characteristic for the choice of charging materials, it was found that PP was optimum charging material to make high charging amount with opposite polarity for PET and PVC of heavy group. Therefore, we manufactured a charger of cyclone type using PP material for separation of PET and PVC. At optimum test conditions that used PP cyclone charger developed in this study, we developed a triboelectrostatic separation technique that can separate PET plastic up to grade of 98.5% and recovery of 86.2%. We established new separation technology that could recycle the PET and PVC heavy group plastics recovered from wet gravity separation.

In this study, waste car tau lamps that usually gets incinerated or buried has been recovered during the dispose process in order to increase the recycling rate of waste cars and the material separation research was performed by applying triboelectrostatic separation method. After a series of charging characteristic test, PMMA materials was confirmed of being an effective charging material for waste car tail lamp material separation, a cyclone charger using PMMA material for continuous process was developed. In optimum test conditions using triboelectrostatic separator developed in this study, high quality PMMA material with recovery rate of 99.0% and 90.2% was achieved from the waste car tail lamp. Therefore, a material separation technology that can recycle tail lamps of waste cars has been established.

Redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) without a power-fail-safe component in small and mid-sized business suffers from intolerably long resynchronization time after a unclean power-failure. Data blocks and a parity block in a stripe must be updated in a consistent manner, however a data block may be updated but the corresponding parity block may not be updated when a power goes off. Such a partially modified stripe must be updated with a correct parity block. However, it is difficult to find which stripe is partially updated (inconsistent). The widely-used traditional parity resynchronization manner is a intolerably long process that scans the entire volume to find and fix inconsistent stripes. This paper presents a fast resynchronization scheme with a negligible overhead for small and mid-sized RAIDs. The proposed scheme is integrated into a software RAID driver in a Linux system. According to the performance evaluation, the proposed scheme shortens the resynchronization process from 200 minutes to 5 seconds with 2% overhead for normal I/Os.

A contact-type area-varying capacitive displacement sensor, or CLECDiS, can measure displacements over millimeter ranges with nanometer resolution. However, a small changes in the contact condition due to the surface profile or friction, which are inherent characteristics of contact-type sensors, lead to significant distortion of the output signal. Therefore, ensuring reliable contact conditions during CLECDiS measurements is the most important area to be improved in their actual use. Herein, in order to design an instrument for ensuring reliable contact conditions, the contact condition is analyzed by characterizing the signal distortion, observing the pressure distribution between the contacting surfaces, and measuring the motional errors of the sensor using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). The manufactured instrument enables a CLECDiS to be used in an ultraprecise positioning system with improved reliability.

A research on material separation of EVA and PET mixture plastic waste using a triboelectrostatic separator has been carried out. It was found that PP was the best charging material to give the highest charge on the surface of EVA and PET mixture plastics with an opposite polarity. Therefore, a charger of pipe line type using PP material was manufactured for separation of EVA and PET mixture plastic waste. At optimum test conditions that used PP cyclone charger developed in this study, we could separate out PET with a glade of 98.7% and a recovery of 89.7%.

The amount of fuel, which affects aircraft endurance, needs to be measured accurately. This paper deals with the implementation of a fuel quantity measurement system that consists of capacitive fuel sensor, DAQ board, and Labview software. The main circuit of the implemented system for measuring fuel quantity is simulated with Pspice to identify parameters, which are related to the change of fuel quantity. After simulation, we established that Vrms changes with the variation of fuel amount. The Vrms, which is the output of fuel sensor, is transmitted to the Labview software via the DAQ board of the implemented fuel quantity measurement system. The fuel quantity is also calculated using this software. The present simulation results indicated that the accuracy of the implemented fuel quantity measurement system improved with the filter application.

Vibrotactile feedback is a major function of the latest touch displays, which greatly improves the user's operability and immersion when interacting with the interface on the screen. In this study, we propose a vibrotactile actuator suitable for mounting on the back side of a mid- to large-sized display because it can generate a strong vibration output by applying an electrostatic force-based mechanism and can be manufactured in a thin flat panel type. The proposed actuator was developed in a structure capable of amplifying the vibration force by alternating up and down with electrostatic force by the upper and lower electrodes that are spaced apart from the electrically grounded mass suspended from a radial leaf spring. As a result of the performance evaluation, the developed bar-type module with two built-in actuators showed excellent vibration output of up to 3.3 g at 170 Hz, confirming the possibility of providing haptic feedback in medium and large touch displays.

태양 에너지 수집형 IoT 기기는 주기적으로 재충전되는 태양 에너지의 특성상, 에너지 소모를 최소화하기보다는 수집된 에너지를 최대한 유용하게 사용하는 것이 중요하다. 한편, 데이터 기밀성과 프라이버시, 응답속도, 비용 등의 이유로 클라우드가 아닌 데이터 소스 근처에서 머신러닝을 수행하는 엣지 AI에 대한 연구도 활발한데, 그 중 하나는 여러 IoT 장치들이 수집한 오디오 데이터를 활용하여, 다양한 AI 응용들을 IoT 엣지 컴퓨팅 환경에서 제공하는 것이다. 그러나, 이와 관련된 많은 연구에서, IoT 기기들은 에너지의 제약으로 인하여, 엣지 서버(IoT 서버)로의 센싱 데이터 전송만을 수행하고, 데이터 전처리를 포함한 모든 AI 과정은 엣지 서버에서 수행한다. 이 경우, 엣지 서버의 과부하 문제 뿐 아니라, 학습 및 추론에 불필요한 데이터까지도 서버에 그대로 전송되므로 네트워크 과부하 문제도 야기한다. 또한, 이를 해결하고자, 데이터 전처리 과정을 각 IoT 기기에 모두 맡긴다면, 기기의 에너지 부족으로 정전시간이 증가하는 또 다른 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 각 IoT 기기의 에너지 상태에 따라 데이터 전처리 여부를 결정함으로써, 기기들의 정전시간 증가 문제를 완화시키면서 서버 집중형 엣지 AI 환경의 문제들(엣지 서버 및 네트워크 과부하)을 완화시키고자 한다. 제안기법에서 IoT 장치는 기기가 기본적으로 동작하는 데 필요한 에너지 외의 여분의 에너지 양을 예측하고, 이 여분의 에너지가 있는 경우에만 이를 사용하여 기기에서 전처리 과정, 즉 수집 대상 소리 판별과 잡음 제거 과정을 거친 후 서버에 전송함으로써, IoT기기의 정전시간에 영향을 주지 않으면서, 에너지 적응적으로 데이터 전처리 위치(IoT기기 또는 엣지 서버)를 결정하여 수행한다.
