In this paper, we have designed an integrated triplexer which is the basic component for a FTTH(Fiber To The Home) system which can transmit CATV and voice/data at the same time in a single fiber. The integrated triplexer can be fabricated with a novel technique of "Micro-Block Stacking (MBS)" method which automatically aligns the optical components in the optical beam pass using accurate ceramic holders. We analyze the displacement of the optical focus according to the tolerances of the component dimensions and the assembly process using code V simulator. For the transmitter, the most serious shift of the focal points is caused by the displacements of the LD spot. So the focal point moves up to $72{\mu}m$ from the center point for ${\pm}25{\mu}m$, ${\pm}25{\mu}m$, ${\pm}30{\mu}m$ displacements. For the receiver the most serious shift of the focal points is caused by the displacements of a 0.8mm ball lens (for the analog receiving part) and a micro ball lens (for the digital receiving part), and the focal point moves up to $55{\mu}$ for ${\pm}55{\mu}m$, ${\pm}5{\mu}m$, ${\pm}55{\mu}m$ micro ball lens displacements.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to setup a concuurent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-functional MRI (fMRI) system for understanding causality of the functional brain network. Materials and Methods: We manufactured a TMS coil holder using nonmagnetic polyether ether ketone (PEEK). We simulated magnetic field distributions in the MR scanner according to TMS coil positions and angles. To minimize image distortions caused by TMS application, we controlled fMRI acquisition and TMS sequences to trigger TMS during inter-volume intervals. Results: Simulation showed that the magnetic field below the center of the coil was dramatically decreased with distance. Through the MR phantom study, we confirmed that TMS application around inter-volume acquisition time = 100 miliseconds reduced imaging distortion. Finally, the applicability of the concurrent TMS-fMRI was tested in preliminary studies with a healthy subject conducting a motor task within TMS-fMRI and passive motor movement induced by TMS in fMRI. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed that the developed system allows use of TMS inside an fMRI system, which would contribute to the research of brain activation changes and causality in brain connectivity.

To measure the velocity of heart wall and local flow transctaneously in blood vessels, we have developed a single channel 3.1 MHz pulsed ultrasonic Doppler velocity meter. Ultrasound pluse width and repetition frequency (PRF) used in the velocity meter is 1 ${\mu}$sec 6kHz reapectively, and the Doppler shift of the backscattered echo signal is sensed in a phase detector by coherent demodulation method. From the output of the phase detector, the Doppler signal corresponding to the mean velocity of acoustic wave scatterers over a small region is obtained by using a range gate, sample holder and band-pass filter. Mean frequency of Doppler signal is estimated by zero-crossing counter and the instantaneous velocity of scatters is displayed as a function of time. It is possible to estimate velocity profile, volume flow and flow acceleration of vessels in man if the number of channels and range resolution in increased.

In this work, computer-aided process design is carried out to develop an optimal preform of a pressure vessel. Knowledge-based rules are employed to design the preform, and they are formulated using the handbooks of plasticity theories. In the FE-analysis, a commercial finite element code, ABAQUS was employed. Axisymmetric deep drawing of a hemisphere-bottomed cup has been analyzed fur various combinations of die design parameters. The length of the land of die, the clearance between punch and die and the clearance between the blank holder and die are optimized to minimize the forming load. The results of the simulations are verified with the experiments which are scaled down to one tenth of the actual size.

The wrinkling in the flange and wall of a part is a predominant failure mode in stamping of sheet metal parts. In many cases this wrinkling may be eliminated by appropriate control of the blank holding force(BHF), but BHF affects the draw depth. Gotoh had studied the wrinkles under $20{\mu}$ in height. In general, the height of wrinkles could be limited under $200{\mu}$ practically. Therefore small BHF can be allowed so that the depth of drawing could be increased. This paper represents the variation of the wrinkles of flange in the part of cup drawing by using aluminium alloy A1050 and A5052. This simulation is used by the explicit finite elements code $PAM-STAMP^{TM}$. The computed results are compared with the experimental results to show the validity of the analysis.

A swashplate type piston motor with a tripod joints is introduced to improve compactness and starting torque in conventional types of motor. If the driving torque of motor shaft is transmitted by utilizing the mechanism, its friction torque loss would be drastically reduced and mechanical efficiency would be improved because the lateral force on the piston of the rod type motor with tripod joints mechanism is relatively smaller than that of the conventional plunger type motor. In particular, kinematics analysis for the mechanism are done as a preliminary study to investigate the feasibility of the mechanism in the axial piston motor. General formulas are derived from the displacement and velocity analysis of the mechanism, showing relationships between output shaft and shoe holder motion. A series of numerical calculations are carried out for a medium size motor with 160cc/rev using the formulas and their graphical plots are shown as well.

Micromanufacturing is a useful system for reducing energy consumption. For micromanufacturing, tool clamping and workpiece clamping are important components to realize the machining process. Therefore, a shape memory alloy (SMA) ring type tool holder is developed. In addition, this holder needs cooling and heating processes to execute the tool clamping process. This study suggests a cooling/heating device based on peltier elements. The device will be applied to the heating/cooling process of an automatic tool changer (ATC) for the SMA tool holder. This study introduces the configuration and operating principle of the proposed ATC system. The description and prototype evaluation of this system were given. Plastic bolt and aluminum block were selected to enhance the cooling performance, and the installed tool was changed in 17 s during the experiments.

There are requirement of surface roughness in mechanical elements that has minute surface of several nm degree. When high precision surface roughness measurement is made with stylus type surface roughness measuring apparatus, measuring accuracy depend on the tip radius of diamond stylus. Therefore, ultra precision machining was accomplished using ion sputter machining in order to machining the stylus tip radius less than 0.5.mu.m, which is impossible through lapping machining. In this study, optimal machining condition for the ion sputter machining was obtained through the experiment under the various varing machinbing quantity and condition of diamond stylus. And as the result of applying this optimal condition, the good result was obtained that machining probability of stylus tip radius less than o.5.mu.m is 93%.

This study investigates the effects of the size of copper sheets on the plastic deformation behavior in a microscale deep drawing process. Tensile tests are conducted on the copper sheets to study the flow stress of the materials with different grain sizes before carrying out the microscale deep drawing experiments. After the tensile tests, a novel desktop-sized microscale deep drawing system is used to perform the microscale deep drawing process. A series of microscale deep drawing experiments are subsequently performed, and the experimental results indicate that an increase in the grain size results in the reduction of the deformation load of the copper sheets due to the effects of the surface grain. The results also show that the blank holder gap improves both the formability of copper sheets and the material flow.

지하에 전류를 흘려보내 분극현상을 유도하고, 이 유도분극 현상을 측정하는IP탐사는 금속 광물 탐사에서 널리 이용되고 있다. 특히 광대역주파수를 이용하는SIP탐사는 IP탐사에서 측정하는 전기비저항과 더불어 위상정보까지 제공해 줄 수 있어 금속광물의 종류를 구분하는 등 보다 효과적인 탐사 방법으로 제시되고 있다. 이 연구는 최근 원자재가 급등에 따른 국내 외 광산개발에 필요한 자원탐사 기술 개발의 일환으로 광석 중에 포함되어 있는 금속광물의 SIP 효과에 대한 기초적 연구를 수행한 것이다. 암석의 SIP를 측정 시스템은 GDP-32 system과 Lab transmitter(Zonge)를 사용하여 구성하였으며, 주파수에 따른 IP 효과를 측정하기 위하여 KCl 0.01 mol 용액으로 포화시킨 Glass beads에 황철석 분말의 중량비를 증가 시키면서 SIP를 측정하였다. 실험에 사용된 Glass beads의 직경은 $0.75{\sim}1.0\;mm$의 범위이고, 황철석은 원광석을 분쇄하여 $20{\sim}25$ mesh를 통과한 분말을 사용하였다. 실험방법은 아크릴 수지로 만든 육면체 시료홀더를 사용하여 처음에는 KCl 0.01 mol 용액으로 포화시킨 Glass beads의 SIP를 측정하고, 그 다음에 Glass beads 내에 황철석 분말을 중량비로 $1{\sim}10%$까지 증가 시키면서 SIP를 측정하였다. 이 때 사용한 주파수 대역은 $0.016{\sim}1024\;Hz$ 이며, 측정결과로부터 전기비저항과 Phase를 산출하여 도시하였다.
