In this paper, we present a new method for monitoring of ECU's sensor signals of vehicle. In order to measure the ECU's sensor signals, the interfaced circuit is designed to communicate ECU and the Embedded Linux is used to monitor communication result through Web the Embedded Linux system and this system is said "ECU Interface Part". In ECU Interface Part the interface circuit is designed to match voltage level between ECU and SA-1110 micro controller and interface circuit to communicate ECU according to the ISO, SAE communication protocol standard. Because Embedded Linux does not allow to access hardware directly in application level, anyone who wants to modify any low level hardware must develop device driver. To monitor ECU's sensor signals the most important thing is to match serial level between ECU and ECU Interface Part. It means to communicate correctly between two hardware we need to match voltage and signal level, and need to match baudrate. The voltage of SA-1110 is 0 ${\sim}$ +3.3V and ECU is 0 ${\sim}$ +12V and, ECU's communication Line K does multiple operation so, the interface circuit is used to match voltage and signal level. In Addition to ECU's baudrate is 10400bps, it's not standard baudrate in computer environment. So, we need to develop a device driver to control the interface circuit, and change baudrate. To monitor ECU's sensor signals through web there's a network socket program is working in Embedded Linux. It works as server program and manages user's connections and commands. Anyone who wants to monitor ECU's sensor signals he just only connect to Embedded Linux system with web browser then, Embedded Linux webserver will return the ActiveX webbased measurement software. It works in web browser and inits ECU, as a result it returns sensor signals through web. All the programs are developed with GCC(GNU C Compiler) and, webbased measurement software is developed with Borland C++ Builder.

There are two conserved regions with a significantly high amino acid sequence homology among the A subunits of STX, SLTs and ricin. To produce an inactive Verotoxin-2 (VT-2), two different mutants, pE167D and pDE5A, were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis, respectively, on the basis of the previous reports that two regions lie within the active-site clefts of the A subunits of ricin and STX family. The cytotoxicity ($10^3$ $CD_{50}/ml$) of VT-2 holotoxin with E167D mutation was reduced by $10^3$-fold compared with wild-type level. In addition, VT-2 with DE5A ($Trp_{202}GlyArgIleSer_{206}$) deletion mutation showed a significantly low cytotoxicity ($10^1$ $CD_{50}/ml$), resulting in $10^5$- and $10^2$-fold reductions, respectively, compared with the wild-type and E167D mutatant. SDS-PAGE for protein samples showed a 33-kDa band corresponding to the A subunit of VT-2. These results indicate that reduction in cytotoxic activity was affected not by amount of VT-2 protein produced but by mutation.

Green mustard leves were found to effectively prevent lipid peroxidation of bovine-brain tissue by ascor-bate/Fe system, The 50% methanol extracts mustard leaves were separated into four solvent faction using n-hexane,. EtOAc, n-BiOH and water. Then n-BiOH fraction exclusively exhibited the antioxidative activities at concentration above 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL/ The n-BuOH fraction was further isolated to a single compound using TLC analysis and silica gel chromatography. The active antiodidative compounds were identified as sinapic acid methyl ester and ferulic acid methyl ester by $^{1}$H-NMR and $^{13}$ C-NMR, The sinapic acid methyl ester and ferulic acid methyl ester were prepared by methylating of sinapic acid and ferulic acid with diazomethane. The results strongly suggested that sinapic acid and ferulic acid could be emplyed as a potential antioxiative agents for preventing the bovine brain lipid peroxidation. lipid peroxidation.

In this paper, a compact rectenna system is designed using a circular sector antenna with harmonic-rejecting characteristics and a direct impedance matching method. The system is designed with bandpass filtering performed by the harmonic-rejection of the circular sector antenna and without impedance matching circuit for the diodes by the direct impedance matching technique. Therefore, while the rectifying circuit of the proposed system can be implemented without a bandpass filter and a impedance matching circuit, it is integrated on the back side of the antenna using precise fabrication techniques for coaxial feedings without degrading the system performances corresponding to the feeding points. From the experimental results, the optimized rectenna system has presented excellent performances of a conversion efficiency of more than 52 % and a conversion voltages of more than 1.5 V at 2.5 GHz.

최근 산화물 반도체에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 비정질 산화물 반도체인 In-Ga-Zn-O(IGZO)는 기존의 비정질 실리콘에 비해 공정 단가가 낮으며 넓은 밴드 갭으로 인한 투명성을 가지고 있고, 저온 공정이 가능하여 다양한 기판에 적용이 가능하다. 반도체의 공정 과정에서 열처리는 소자의 특성 개선을 위해 필요하다. 일반적인 열처리 방법으로 furnace 열처리 방식이 주로 이용된다. 그러나 furnace 열처리는 시간이 오래 걸리며 일반적으로 고온에서 이루어지기 때문에 최근 연구되고 있는 유리나 플라스틱, 종이 기판을 이용한 소자의 경우 기판이 손상을 받는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점들을 극복하기 위하여 저온 공정인 마이크로웨이브를 이용한 열처리 방식이 제안되었다. 마이크로웨이브 열처리 기술은 소자에 에너지를 직접적으로 전달하기 때문에 기존의 다른 열처리 방식들과 비교하여 에너지 전달 효율이 높다. 또한 짧은 공정 시간으로 공정 단가를 절감하고 대량생산이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있으며, 저온의 열처리로 기판의 손상이 없기 때문에 기판의 종류에 국한되지 않은 공정이 가능할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 마이크로웨이브 열처리가 소자의 전기적 특성 개선에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 제작된 IGZO 박막 트렌지스터는 p-type bulk silicon 위에 thermal SiO2 산화막이 100 nm 형성된 기판을 사용하였다. RCA 클리닝을 진행한 후 RF sputter를 사용하여 In-Ga-Zn-O (1:1:1) 을 70 nm 증착하였다. 이후에 Photo-lithography 공정을 통하여 active 영역을 형성하였고, 전기적 특성 평가가 용이한 junctionless 트랜지스터 구조로 제작하였다. 후속 열처리 방식으로 마이크로웨이브 열처리를 1000 W에서 2분간 실시하였다. 그리고 기존 열처리 방식과의 비교를 위해 furnace를 이용하여 N2 가스 분위기에서 $600^{\circ}C$의 온도로 30분 동안 열처리를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 마이크로웨이브 열처리를 한 소자의 경우 기존의 furnace 열처리 소자와 비교하여 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 마이크로웨이브를 이용한 열처리 공정은 향후 저온 공정을 요구하는 소자 공정에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A novel compact model for a five-port transformer balun is proposed for the efficient circuit design of hybrid balun. Compared to the conventional model, the proposed model provides much faster computation time and more reasonable values for the extracted parameters. The hybrid balun, realized in $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS, achieves 2.8 dB higher gain and 1.9 dB lower noise figure than its passive counterpart only at a current consumption of 0.67 mA from 1.2 V supply. By employing the hybrid balun, a differential zero-IF receiver is designed in $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS for IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee applications. It is composed of a differential cascode LNA, passive mixers, and active RC filters. Comparative investigations on the three receiver designs, each employing the hybrid balun, a simple transformer balun, and an ideal balun, clearly demonstrate the advantages of the hybrid balun in fully differential CMOS RF receivers. The simulated results of the receiver with the hybrid balun show 33 dB of conversion gain, 4.2 dB of noise figure with 20 kHz of 1/f noise corner frequency, and -17.5 dBm of IIP3 at a current consumption of 5 mA from 1.8 V supply.

Red ginseng, a steamed and sun-dried ginseng, is a popular health-promoting food in Korea and other Asian countries. We introduced nanofertilizer technology using gold nanoparticles in an effort to develop red ginseng with an elevated level of ginsenosides, the main active compounds of ginseng. Shoots of 6-year-old ginseng plants were fertilized three times with colloidal gold nanoparticle sprays. Red ginseng extract was prepared from the main roots. The concentrations of gold and ginsenosides were measured following gold nanoparticle treatment. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects, mouse peritoneal macrophages of male BALB/c mouse were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide plus interferon-γ in the presence of extracts from red ginseng with or without gold nanoparticle treatment. The content of ginsenosides, such as Rg1, Re, Rf, and Rb1, increased in ginseng treated with gold nanofertilizer whereas the steaming process increased only the levels of Rd and Rg3. The levels of nitric oxide, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and interleukin-6, but not tumor necrosis factor-α, were more suppressed in macrophages treated with extract from gold nanoparticle-treated red ginseng. Our results show that the use of a colloidal gold nanoparticle fertilizer improved the synthesis of ginsenosides in ginseng and enhanced the anti-inflammatory effects of red ginseng. Further research is required to elucidate the causal factors for the gold-induced change in ginsenoside synthesis and to determine the in vivo effect of gold nanoparticle-treated ginseng.

A RF wideband receiver for INMARSAT-B satellite communications system was composed of low noise amplifier and high gain amplifier, The low noise amplifier used to the resistive decoupling circuit for input impedance matching and self-bias circuits for low noise. The high gain amplifier consists of matched amplifier type to improve receiver gain. The active bias circuit can be used to provide temperature stability without requiring the large voltage drop or relatively high-dissipated power needed with a bias stabilization resistor. The bandpass filter was used to reduce a spurious level. As a result, the characteristics of the receiver implemented here show more than 60 dB in gain and less than 1.8:1 in input and output voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR), especially the carrier to noise ratio which is input signal level -126.7 dB m at 1537.5 MHz is a 45.23 dB /Hz at a 1.02 kHz.
