The position of newspaper has been getting critical, since there are various new digital devices that can embody much information in only one device. Smart devices has risen the possible replacement of newspaper, while they are getting lighter and getting faster access to the information. However, there is lack of study on the application for smart devices, since it is at the early stage of development. In this study, the design method for the effective news application is considered by analyzing not only an external element, the layout design, but also an internal element, the content of it. Then, 20 domestic and foreign news applications were analyzed concentrating on the layout and the contents. Through the observation, I looked into what type of applications that can be deliver messages effectively. After the observation, participants are asked about their impressions and preferences of the applications. A news application for smart devices should not be just a mobile version of newspaper. If so, a news application never be able to leap over authority and popularity of the newspaper. So, it needs constant researches on an effective news application focused on the attribute of the smart devices to develop the news application for the devices.

This paper compare the performance of CCA (Compact Constellation Algorithm) adaptive equalization algorithm by effect of the compact slice weighting value for minimization of the intersymbol interference in the communication channel. The CCA combines the conventional DDA and RCA algorithm, it uses the constant modulus of the transmission signal and the considering the output of decision device by the power of compact slice weighting value in order to improving the initial convergence characteristics and the equalization noise by misadjustment in the steady state. In this process, it is confirmed by computer simulation that the compact slice weight affects the performance of CCA adaptive equalization algorithm. The performance index includes the output signal constellation, the residual isi and maximum distortion and MSE that is for the convergence characteristics, the SER according to the signal and noise power ratio at the channel is used. As a result of computer, it shows that the large weighting value gives more good in every performance index. But in SER performance, it is known that the small values gives more good in low SNR and the large values gives more good in high SNR.

X-ray of up to 9MeV are used for container inspection. X-ray intensity must be maintained stably regardless of changes in time. If dose is not constant, it may affect the image quality, and as a result, may affect the inspection of abnormal cargo. Therefore, to acquire high-quality images, continuous dose monitoring is required. In this study, the ion-chamber based device was developed for monitoring the dose change in high-energy x-ray. And to estimate the performance of signal-processing device change according to the environmental change, the output changing due to the change of temperature and humidity was observed. In addition, verification of the device was performed by measuring the output change. As a result of the measurement, there was no significant difference in performance due to changes in temperature and humidity, and the change in output according to the change in exposure was linear. Therefore, it was found that the developed device is suitable for the dose monitoring of high-energy x-ray.

This study considers the implementation issues of the inter-vehicle communication system for the vehicle platoon experiments via a testbed. The testbed, which consists of three scale vehicles and one RCS(remote control station), is developed as a tool for functions evaluation between simulation studies and full-sized vehicle researches in the previous study. The cooperative communication of the vehicle-to-vehicle or the vehicle-to-roadside plays a key role for keeping the relative spacing of vehicles small in a vehicle platoon. The static platoon control, where the number of vehicles remains constant, is sufficient for the information to be transmitted in the suitably fixed interval, while the dynamic platoon control such as merge or split requires more flexible network architecture for the dynamical coordination of the communication sequence. In this study, the wireless communication device and the reliable protocol of the flexible network architecture are implemented for our testbed, using the low-cost, ISM band transceiver and the 8-bit microcontroller.

A new time-to-digital converter is proposed which is based on a capacitor and a counter. The conventional time-to-digital converter requires rather longer processing time than the input time interval to obtain an accurate digital output. The resolution of the converted digital output is constant independent on the input time interval. However this study proposes the circuit in which the converted digital output can be obtained without delay time, and both the input time interval and the resolution can be easily improved through controlling passive device parameters.

A calculation method of the breakdown voltage for the Drain region with the spherical structure in high voltage analog CMOS is proposed. The Drain depletion region is divided into many sub-regions and the doping concentration of each sub-region is assumed to be constant. The field in each sub-region is calculated by the integration of the net charge and the breakdown voltage is calculated using the ionization integral method. The breakdown voltage calculated using the proposed method shows the maximum relative error of 3.3% compared with the result of the 2-dimensional device simulation using BANDIS.

This paper reports the design, modeling, fabrication and measurement of passive microvalves, which are applicable to glaucoma implants. The proposed microvalves were designed using fluidic theory. The microvalves consisted of microchannels and chambers. The microchannels had a constant fluidic resistance generating a pressure difference. Six kinds of microvalves were designed using fluidic equations for laminar flow and fabricated to examine the influences of chamber size, channel length and the shape of channel cross section. The pressure difference between the designed microvalve and the fabricated microvalve was measured to be less than 4%.

Graphene is a single atomic layer of carbon atoms, and has exceptional electrical, mechanical, and optical characteristics. It has been broadly utilized in the fields of material science, physics, chemistry, device fabrication, information, and biology. In this review paper, we briefly investigate the ideas, structure, characteristics, and fabrication techniques for graphene applications in lithium ion batteries (LIBs). In LIBs, a constant three-dimensional (3D) conductive system can adequately enhance the transportation of electrons and ions of the electrode material. The use of 3D graphene and graphene-expansion electrode materials can significantly upgrade LIBs characteristics to give higher electric conductivity, greater capacity, and good stability. This review demonstrates several recent advances in graphene-containing LIB electrode materials, and addresses probable trends into the future.

AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs are developed well enough to be commercialized as an active device in optical transmission system, but there remains the unanswered questions about reliability. In this paper we applied the reverse constant current stress at the high voltage in avalanche region for a long time to find out a new degradation mechanism of junctrion I-V. The unction off-set voltage at which the current vanishes to zero was shifted to the negative direction of applied bias due to the increment of leakage current as the stress time increases. It was identified that the degradation was induced by the hot carriers which were generated at space charge region and trapped at the interface between GaAs base and the passivation nitride enhancing the electric field across the nesa edge.
