Currently existing high-accuracy and high-speed die sets used in reciprocal press create scratches at the surface of guide posts, steel balls, and bushes due to vertical movement of balls with point-contacts between inner surface of bushes and guide posts. Consequently, accuracy of the die set and the life span of the metal mold are reduced. However, those scratches could reduce the pre-load of the steel ball. This research designed and developed a groove-type die set which improves life span of the die set by eliminating point-contacts of steel balls with guide posts. The guide post consisted of a steel-ball retainer, a steel-ball retainer stopper, a guide bush, a guide pin, a snap ring, and a spring. The steel-ball retainer has 72 holes with 8 columns of 9 holes in each column. The inner surface of the guide bush was grinded(surface roughness: $Ra\;\\;0.2{\mu}m$, accuracy: $0\;{\sim}\;-0.002mm$) after NC turning and heat treatment. Also, a line of small intermediate pocket was processed inside of the guide bush for lubrication and elimination of foreign materials. Guide grooves of steel balls were processed using a wire EDM(Electrical Discharge Machining) after heat treatment. With such a design of the guide post stated above, loads against steel balls could be dispersed greatly by the line contacts through the guide groove between the guide post and the guide bush, and the life span of the guide post could be expanded semi-permanently.

구마모토 안산암을 대상으로 이중 비틀림(DT) 시험을 통해 유도 홈의 단면 형상이 암석의 응력부식지수에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 정변위속도법에서 변위속도가 증가할수록 균열성장속도는 증가하지만 파괴인성계수는 평균 2.07 MN/m$^{3}$2/로 거의 일정하였다. 정변위법을 통하여 유도 홈의 형상이 사각형, 원형, 삼각형인 시험편을 이용하여 얻은 응력부식지수는 각각 평균 37, 36, 38로 홈의 형상에 관계없이 거의 일정한 값을 보이지만 표준편차는 삼각형 홈에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 암석의 DT시험은 중앙부에 유도 홈이 있는 시험편을 이용하는 것이 효과적이지만 광물의 평균입경 이상의 폭을 가진 사각형 단면의 홈을 이용하는 것이 가장 적절하다.

A light-guide is one of several important components of backlight unit in TFT-LCD. The manufacturing technology and optical system design of the light guide is very sensitive to quality and cost of the TFT-LCD module. In the present study a new manufacturing method which is called as direct surface forming(DSF) has been tested under various conditions. DSF is very similar to the well-known hot embossing except for partial contact between mold and substrate. The final V-groove pattern shows different shapes depend on the temperature of mold surface, contact time of mold and depth of V-groove.

Nowadays, TFT-LCD is widely used as display unit of many digital devices. And, the backlight unit(BLU) is used as a light source of TFT-LCD module. In the backlight unit, the most important component is a light guide, which guides the input light to the TFT-LCD module uniformly. Recently, many researchers have focused on improving the efficiency of BLU by changing the design and structure of a light guide. In the present paper, a series of simulation was performed to find the optimal luminance distribution of emanated light from the given geometry as the first step. From the results of simulations for the light guide with given V-groove pattern, the emanated light from it is mostly affected by the groove angle. In the case of acute angle, about 74 degrees was found as optimal angle to satisfy the restrictions of angular luminance distribution, FWHM, the maximum luminance, etc. However, as far as the average luminance value was concerned, the case of 120 degrees(abtuse angle) was found to be the best while prism films were added to the BLU. As a next step the light guide samples of 74 and 120 degrees were manufactured by DSF method, which was recently proposed by the authors. Of course, most of design parameters were chosen by the aid of simulation results. Finally, the results of average luminance values were compared between the simulation and DSF molded samples.

본 논문에서는 에지 방식의 BLU(Backlight unit)에 사용되는 도광판의 구조를 최적화하여 광학시트를 줄이면서 휘도와 균일도 및 시야각을 유지하기 위한 이중구조의 도광판을 설계하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 휘도와 균일도를 알아보았다. 여기에 사용된 복합 도광판은 이중구조의 도광판으로 상부에는 곡률 R을 갖는 프리즘패턴을 형성하고 곡률 R에 따른 휘도와 균일도를 시뮬레이션하였다. 하부에는 V groove 패턴을 회전시켜 상부패턴과 $90^{\circ}$를 이루게 하여 균일도를 확보하였다. 특히, 하부 패턴에서는 외곽의 피치 간격과 중심의 피치간격의 비(최대:최소), 패턴의 개수와 패턴의 분산을 정의할 수 있는 프로그램을 설계하여 V groove 사이의 간격을 결정하였다. 복합 도광판(dual-layer light guide plate, DLGP)의 최적화를 위해 다시 하부 패턴의 개수를 변화시켜 균일도를 알아보았다. 시뮬레이션 결과 복합 도광판을 이용한 BLU는 균일도 90.6%, 시야각 $145^{\circ}$인 특성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper Various aerosol cyclones that are developed recently form Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology(KJIST) for increasing collection efficiency or for decreasing pressure drop are reviewed. For the first time, new sets of experimental data are reported on the particle collection efficiency of cyclones with modified surface bodies namely, spiral guide body, circumferential groove body, and vertical groove body. Multi-cylinder cyclones by adding one or two additional cylindrical walls into the conventional cyclone are also described. Ad an attempt to increase the collection efficiency of small particles, electrocyclone using an externally applied electric field was designed and operated. In addition, factors affecting the cyclone performance were studied including flowrate, body and outlet sizes, cyclone dust outlet, and gas property.

We have proposed a novel optical design technique of light-guide plates(LGPs) which can able to improve the optical efficiency of transflective LCDs. The basic concepts of our design technique are that we make the groove-pattern of LGP pixels resemble the pixel-array-pattern of transflective LCDs in shape and size and make the surface of the groove scatter (front scattering). In simulated and measured results, we ensure that our design of LGP in backlight unit for transflective LCDs can improve the optical efficiency of LCDs.

It is generally known that the PRAT(Plysteer Residual Aligning Torque) is one of indicating a performance factors of a tire for assessing the vehicle pull, also tire pattern shape, which means lateral groove angle, is very important tire design factor in relation to the PRAT. Lateral grooves of tire pattern are widely divided into center and shoulder parts. So, this paper has studied the correlation between the PRAT and their lateral groove angles using FEM. Especially, the steady state rolling analysis among tire rolling analysis methods has been used for the PRAT performance study. Firstly, analysis result data have been compared with the experimental data to validate FE analysis for PRAT. Next, the PRAT due to the lateral groove angle about PCR(Passenger Car Radial) tire and SUV tire has been analyzed. The tendency of the PRAT due to the lateral groove angles can be used as a guide line for the tire design in relation to vehicle pull.

A light guide panel is an element of the LCD backlight module that is often used for the display of compact electronic devices. In this study, a laser marking system is proposed to fabricate light guide panel, which can replace other manufacturing methods such as silk printing, stamping, or v-cutting methods. The objective of this research is to evaluate the process parameters of the laser marking system. Light guide patterns were marked with a 50W $CO_2$ laser (CW) to understand the effects of average power and scanning speed on the geometry and quality of groove pattern. The width of the fabricated grooves increases with increasing laser power and decreasing scan speed. In order to analyze surface characteristics and optical properties (luminance, uniformity), SEM photography and BM7 (luminance measuring system) were used. As a result, the optimal conditions of the process parameters were determined.
