This Paper presents a robust design of an Electrorheological(ER) damper using Taguchi method. Taguchi method is a robust design method that determines control parameters in the presence of noise effect. Electrode length, electrode gap, base oil viscosity and the weight ratio of ER particles are chosen for the control parameters and the temperature is considered to be a noise factor. The sensitivity of each factor with signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio and analysis of variance are investigated. The analysis results show that the electrode length and base oil viscosity of the ER fluid mostly affect the damping force in the absence of electric field. On the other hand, when the voltage is applied to the ER damper, the electrode length and the weight ratio of ER fluid exhibit significant effect. Based on the Taguchi method, an optimal configuration was designed and the robustness of the designed ER damper was validated by comparing the analysis and experimental results.

Recently, LCD Backlight Unit is being replaced from cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) to external electrode fluorescent lamp(EEFL) because the EEFL has high energy efficiency and long life. Also, it can reduce energy consumption and weight. So far, external electrode ring for EEFL is produced by sheet metal press forming process. Therefore it had low precision and much material loss. To solve these problems, Multi-Forming process that has five step forming process was invented. However, low productivity is another barrier. Product speed that is controlled by the rotational speed cannot be increased due to the unsatisfied design specification. The reason is that the gap between rolled two edge parts of the sheet plate is tightly inspected. Regarding this factor, the understanding of forming behavior to each process is inevitable. This paper describes the CAE analysis of the multi-forming process by PAM-STAMP.

We have developed a new PDP cell structure called MARI(Multi Anode for Reduction of Ionic effect) and new driving scheme achieving a high luminous efficacy. The MARI PDP has middle electrode inserted between X and Y main electrodes. In the MARI PDP, reset and scan voltage is applied to middle electrode and sustain voltage is applied to X and Y electrode. Using a long gap sustain discharge we accomplished a high luminous efficacy. And we developed 42"full panel adopting MARI structure and new driving scheme and attained luminous efficacy of 2.35 lm/W.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of pre-formed space charge by negative DC voltage on partial discharge(PD) patterns of XLPE. We have suggested a modified pulsed electro-acoustic method and demonstrated that the PD patterns are strongly influenced by the pre-formed space charge distributions, which are hardly disappeared up to AC 8kV in electrode configuration including air gap between XLPE layer and electrode.

상부 전극에 RF power 가 직접 인가되는 capacitively coupled plasma source를 이용한 oxide layer etching 공정은 현재 반도체 제조 공정에서 매우 유용하게 사용되고 있는 방식이다. 그러나 디바이스의 사이즈가 점점 작아지면서 공정을 진행하기 위한 RF power도 커지고, plasma ignition 되는 electrode 사이의 간격도 점점 좁아지는 기술적 변화가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 H/W의 변화에 따라 예상치 못한 문제들로 공정을 적용하는데 많은 문제점이 발생하고 있는데, 공정 진행 시에 plasma의 영향으로 인한 electrode의 온도 변화도 그 중 하나이다. 이러한 온도 변화로 인해 wafer to wafer의 공정 진행 결과가 서로 다르게 나타나게 하는 문제가 야기되고 있다. 아래의 내용에서는 상부 electrode의 온도 변화에 따른 etch 특성을 연구하고, 이를 개선할 수 있는 방법에 대해 논하고자 한다.

The characteristics of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) are governed by many factors such as the power supply type, operating condition and electrode material. This work deals with the effect of wire electrode materials on the machining characteristics such as, metal removal rate, surface characteristics and surface roughness during WEDM A wire's thermal physical properties are melting point, electrical conductivity and vapor pressure. One of the desired qualities of wire is a low melting point and high vapor pressure to help expel the contaminants from the gap. They are determined by the mix of alloying elements (in the case of plain brass and coated wire) or the base core material(i.e. molybdenum). Experiments have been conducted regarding the choice of suitable wire electrode materials and influence of the properties of these materials on the machinability and surface characteristics in WEDM, the experimental results are presented and discussed from their metallurgical aspect. And the coating effect of various alloying elements(Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn, etc.) to the Cu or 65-35 brass core on them was reviewed also. The removal rate of some coated wires are higher than that of 65-35 brass electrode wire because the wire is difficult to break due to the wire cooling effect of Zn evaporation latent heat and the Zn oxide on the surface is effective in preventing short circuit. The removal rate increases with increasing Zn content from 35, 40 and Zn coated wire

Understanding how the b-wave of the electroretinogram (ERG) is generated by full-field light stimulation is still a challenge in visual neuroscience. To understand more about the origin of the b-wave, we studied the contributions of gap junctions to the ERG b-wave. Many types of retinal neurons are connected to similar and different neighboring neurons through gap junctions. The photopic (cone-dominated) ERG, stimulated by a small light beam, was recorded from goldfish (Carassius auratus) using a corneal electrode. Data were obtained before and after intravitreal injection of agents into the eye under a photopic illumination level. Several agents were used to affect gap junctions, such as dopamine D1 and D2 receptor agonists and antagonists, a nitric oxide (NO) donor, a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, the gap junction blocker meclofenamic acid (MFA), and mixtures of these agents. The ERG b-waves, which were enhanced by MFA, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), SKF 38393, and sulpiride, remained following application of a further injection of a mixture with MFA. The ERG b-waves decreased following $N^G$-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), SCH 23390, and quinpirole administration but were enhanced by further injection of a mixture with MFA. These results indicate that gap junction activity influences b-waves of the ERG related to NO and dopamine actions.

We report a cell gap variation tolerant liquid crystal display(LCD). Since the cell gap variation of the LCD results in the variation of brightness and contrast ratio, we should control carefully the process to get the uniform cell gap. For the projector application, this is more significant and the one reason of the low yield. We observed that the brightness variation of LCD is suppressed by insertion of dielectric layer between the pixel electrode and liquid crystal.

Triggering characteristics of a trigatron spark gap have been studied by measuring self-emission UV light. By combining the measurement of the UV light with that of the trigger gap voltage and the lain discharge current, we distinguished clearly the differences between the trigatron operations in which the lain discharge occurs after the trigger discharge in the case of sale polarity between the trigger pin and the lain electrode at the opposite side, and the lain gap breakdown takes place before the formation of the trigger spark in the case of different polarity. We show the observation of UV radiation with the other electromagnetic measurements is a simple and reliable scheme to investigate the triggering properties of the trigatron spark gaps.

Electrostatically actuated nanoscale tweezers are fabricated on micro processed electrodes using FIB-CVD. Heavily doped electrode works as interconnection platform for controlling nanoscale devices. Short bent pillars are deposited to control the gap distance of main tweezers fabricated on bent ones. Two types of tweezers which have different gap distances are fabricated and tweezing motion was successfully demonstrated. The threshold voltages at snap-down of the pillars are dependent on the initial gap distance of the unactuated pillars, and the measured values were 93V for 3.6um and 30V for 2.2um. The dimension of nano tweezers and initial gap distances are controllable as demonstrated and we expect more complicated 3-dimensional shapes are also possible.
