A probe pin is a key component of LED inspection equipment. The probe pin makes contact with the LED electrodes and supplies an electric current. Because the mechanical and electrical homogeneity of the probe surface affects the service life and reliability, its characterization is essential. For this study, the hardness was measured using a micro-Vickers hardness test. Moreover, the thicknesses of the plating at different locations and the elemental compositions were examined using an FE-SEM. The uniformity of the plating was found to be acceptable because palladium was detected consistently throughout the tested domain. In addition, the hardness of the surface was determined to be higher than that of the typical palladium range, which is attributed to the use of undercoated nickel.

Refining process is of critical importance unit process for papermaking that influences freeness as well as many mechanical and physical properties of paper. Refining is the process that requires extensive amount of electrical energy. Thus it is required to evaluate the refining process in terms of its influence on fiber and paper properties as well as its effect on energy consumption. In this study, to evaluate the efficiency of refining process the theory of inch contacts has been employed, and the influence of refining processes on fiber and paper properties has been determined and discussed.

Graphene based nano-electronic and nano-electromechanical devices will be introduced in this presentation. The first part of the presentation will be covered by our recent results on the fabrication and physical properties of artificially twisted bilayer graphene. Thanks to the recently developed contact transfer printing method, a single layer graphene sheet is stacked on various substrates/nano-structures in a controlled manner for fabricating e.g. a suspended graphene device, and single-bilayer hybrid junction. The Raman and electrical transport results of the artificially twisted bilayer indicates the decoupling of the two graphene sheets. The graphene based electromechanical devices will be presented in the second part of the presentation. Carbon nanotube based nanorelay and A new concept of non-volatile memory based on the carbon nanotube field effect transistor together with microelectromechanical switch will be briefly introduced at first. Recent progress on the graphene based nano structures of our group will be presented. The array of graphene resonators was fabricated and their mechanical resonance properties are discussed. A novel device structures using carbon nanotube field effect transistor combined with suspended graphene gate will be introduced in the end of this presentation.

The micro-gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was fabricated and its gas sensing characteristics on nitrogen dioxide ($NO_{2}$) have been investigated. The sensor consists of a heater, an insulating layer, a pair of contact electrodes, and CNT-sensing film on a micromachined diaphragm. The heater plays a role in the temperature change to modify sensor operation. Gas sensor responses of CNT-film to $NO_{2}$ at room temperature are reported. The sensor exhibits a reversible response with a time constant of a few minutes at thermal treatment temperature of $130^{\circ}C$.

Compositional design and optimization of processing parameters are key factors for controlling and improving the properties of SiC-based electroconductive ceramic composites. Compare economic estimation of SiC ceramic heater with sheathe heater are as followings. (1) Temperature rising time of sheath heater is 1.1 times faster than SiC ceramic heater. (2) Heating insulation of SiC ceramic heater is 2.7 times larger than sheath heater. If SiC ceramic heater is one body type of a product application, contact resistance will decrease. I think that temperature initial rising time is faster than now. The more SiC ceramic heater is used for a long time, the more economic benefit is larger in the view point of heat insulation.

탄소는 부식되지 않고 친환경적이며 물리화학적 안정성 및 내마모성 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있어 많은 연구들이 진행 되고 있다. 하지만 탄소 박막은 전도도가 낮은 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄소 박막의 전도성과 플라즈마 변수와의 상관관계를 규명 하고자 하였다. 박막의 특성은 X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Hall measurement, Contact angle, Raman spectroscopy 등의 분석기기를 사용하여 측정하였고 그 결과 DC보다 Pulse DC를 사용할 때 더 좋은 전기적 특성을 나타내었다.

The increases in the packing density and the resulting shrinkage of silicon integrated circuit dimensions led to the investigation and successful of the deposited silicide layers as the gate and interconnection and contact metallization. In this paper evaporated Co films on n-Si have been rapid thermal annealed in $N_2$ambient at temperature of $400^{\circ}C-1000^{\circ}C$. The Co silicide formation is characterized by sheet resistance (4PP). Also, silicide growth rate and its reproductivity has been examined by SEM.

The specific goal of this research is to develop a non-contact measurement technique of stress waves propagating in a rotating shaft. This technique will enable on-line damage detection in shafts in power-generating systems. To minimize measurement errors due to shaft rotation, we have employed magnetostrictive sensors. The sensors are not only cost-effective but also insensitive to liftoff or fill factors. Several experimental results showed the effectiveness of the present technique. The damage location in a rotating shaft was accurately predicted by the wave signal measured by the present approach.

The sharing of common corridors by electric power transmission lines and pipelines is becoming more common place. However, such corridor sharing can result in undesired coupling of electromagnetic energy from the power lines to the near facilities. During a fault on any of the transmission lines, energization of the earth by supporting structures near the fault can result in large voltages appearing locally between the earth and the steel wall of any nearby pipeline. This paper presents the outline of the tower footings for the transmission lines having been used in KEPCO and analyzes the earth resistance for operation method of the tower footing, that is contact presence for the anchor and reinforcing rob of the tower and foundation presence of the underground wiring.

Small type electric energy saving system is proposed in this paper. The system improves power factor fastly according to load variation of each customer. Phases of voltage and current are detected as 1[ms] unit. Phase coincident algorithm is applied for power factor improvement. Capacitance is controlled for optimal power factor correction. Series reactor is controlled for harmonics reduction. Non-contact device is used for fast response and long life. Test result shows the effect of this system. Power factor of 40[W] electric fan is improved from 95[%] to 100[%]. In the case of electric light, power factor is improved from 82[%] to 100[%]. Response time for load variation is less than 1[ms].
