In this study, various application schemes of seismic isolation system which can be applied to Hanok have been studied by analyzing its structural characteristics under seismic load. Structural stability of Hanok is more required against seismic load as Hanok becomes long-spanned and multi-storied. To meet this goal, it becomes necessary to study more advanced technology such as seismic isolation design as well as seismic control design and seismic resistant design suitable to Hanok. Seismic isolation systems have been successfully applied to RC and steel structures to improve structural performance during earthquakes. Based on these previous study, we proposed four application schemes of seismic isolation design suitable for Hanok and analyzed their structural characteristics and applicability to Hanok in conceptual level based on its structural characteristics. The proposed four schemes are base isolation method, ground isolation method, roof isolation method and intermediate-story isolation method. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated by performing boundary nonlinear dynamic analysis to the typical Hanok for the two types of isolation method, that is, ground isolation method and roof isolation method, and the results showed that the proposed methods produced good performance enough to be applied to Hanok.

In this study, dynamic responses of high - rise buildings were analyzed through the change of horizontal stiffness and yield strength among characteristics of seismic isolation system by applying middle - layer seismic isolation system to high - rise buildings of 120m height. As a result in order to prevent the displacement of the isolation layer and to control the maximum torsion angle, it is possible to appropriately control by increasing or decreasing the horizontal stiffness and the yield strength. However, depending on the maximum torsional angle and the hysteretic behavior of the seismic isolation system, excessive yield strength and horizontal stiffness increase may induce the elastic behavior of the structure and amplify the response. Therefore, it is considered that it is necessary to select the property value of the appropriate isolation device.

Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) has become the most promising isolation scheme for ULSI applications. The stress of STI structure is one of several factors to degrade characteristics of a device. The stress contours or STI structure vary with the trench depth. Isolation characteristics of STI was analyzed as the depth of trench varied. And transistor characteristics was compared. Isolation punch-through voltage for n$^{＋}$ to pwell and p$^{＋}$ to nwell increased as trench depth increased. n$^{＋}$ to pwell leakage current had nothing to do with trench depth but n$^{＋}$ to pwell leakage current decreased as trench depth increased. In the case of transistor characteristics, short channel effect was independent on trench depth and inverse narrow width effect was greater for deeper trenches. Therefore in order to achieve stable device, it is important to minimize stress by optimizing trench depth.

Vibration isolation of mechanical systems, in general is achieved through either passive or active vibration control system. Although passive vibration isolators offer simple and reliable means to protect mechanical system from vibration environment, passive vibration isolator has inherent performance limitation. Whereas, active vibration isolator provide significantly superior vibration-isolation performance. Recently, many studied and applications are carried out in this field. In this study, vibration-isolation characteristics of active vibration control system using electromagnetic force actuator are investigated. Some control algorithms. Optimal Feedforward are used for active vibration isolation. Form the experimental results of each control algorithms, active vibration isolation characteristics are investigated.

This letter proposes a reconfigurable directional coupler that uses a variable impedance mismatch reflector to achieve high isolation characteristics in the antenna front end. The reconfigurable coupler consists of a directional coupler and a single-pole four-throw (SP4T) switch with different load impedances as a variable load mismatch reflector. Selection of the load impedance by the reflector allows cancellation of the reflected signal due to antenna load mismatch and the leakage from the input to isolation port of the directional coupler, resulting in high isolation characteristics. The performance of the proposed architecture in separating the received (Rx) signal from the transmitted (Tx) signal in the antenna front end was verified by implementing and testing the reconfigurable coupler at 917 MHz for UHF radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications. The proposed reconfigurable directional coupler showed an improvement in the isolation characteristics of more than 20 dB at the operation frequency band.

In order to realize a high performance(low loss, high isolation) microwave power divider/combiner, we have designed the power combiner/divider precisely in accordance with the different hight of central part. In the case of the high central part of the hight of $h_r$=10.2, a compensating part of the conical line is inserted in the conical conversion transmission line, and in the case of low central part of the hight of $h_r$=5.0, the conical conversion transmission line is remodeled into the 2-stage bend structure. In both case, the reflection characteristics are improved to 30dB over the operating frequency range of 5GHz bandwidth. A resistance is inserted between the peripheral ports so as to try to improve the isolation characteristics of the device. For the 16-divider/combiner, the isolation characteristics are improved to 10dB over the operating frequency range of 5GHz bandwidth.

The seismic isolation system reduces the seismic vibration that is transmitted from foundation to upper structure. This seismic isolation system can be classified into base isolation and mid-story isolation by the installation location. In this study, the seismic behavior of arch structure with mid-story isolation is analyzed to verify the effect of seismic isolation. Mid-story isolation is more effective than base isolation to reduce the seismic responses of roof structure. Also, this isolation would be excellent in structural characteristics and construction.

Recently, the high precision technology can not be developed continuously if we don't have anti vibration technology. Vibration isolation technology using an air spring and laminated robber bearing is widely used because it has excellent vibration isolation characteristics. We developed high precision vibration table with two good element(air spring and LRB) for semiconductor factory. Air Spring is used for isolating the vertical vibration and LRB is used for isolating the horizontal Vibration. As a result, It has D-Class degree in BBR-Criteria. In this paper, we talk about orifice characteristics in the self-damped air spring and design flow of the laminated robber bearing. The orifice characteristics is delicate shade of length and diameter. When we do experimentation to find orifice characteristics, length is fixed and diameter is changed. The orifice diameter is the wider and the air spring stiffness is the softer.

In this paper, a miniaturized radio frequency choke (RFC) using modified stubs is proposed to improve isolation characteristics in a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system. The proposed RFC, based on the LC resonance, is designed to suppress the leakage current that leads to the degradation of antenna diversity performances in the MIMO antenna configuration. The proposed RFC is composed of two open stubs that are implemented on the top of the ground plane and miniaturized by adding a slit structure on the ground plane. The MIMO antennas are also designed to verify isolation performance in the LTE 2300 band (2,300-2,400 MHz). The MIMO antennas perform well with low reflection coefficient characteristics and high isolation characteristics in the whole LTE 2300 band. To evaluate the isolation in the MIMO system, the envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is calculated, and the value is less than 0.08. The achieved ECC is regarded as a reasonable result for improving isolation performance in the frequency range of 2,300-2,400 MHz; also, radiation patterns of antenna elements are maintained regardless of the presence of RFC.
