In this paper, the electrical power output of the micro-combustor thermophotovoltiac(TPV) system was analyzed. The system consists of a micro-combustor, photonic crystals(PhCs), and photovoltaic cells(PV cells). The system has a micro-combustor that can achieve over 1,000 K surface temperature by consuming 2.5 g/h hydrogen fuel. Also, this system incorporates current state-of-the-art PhCs surfaces(2D Ta PhCs and Tandem Filter) to increase electrical power output. In addition, InGaAsSb PV cell, which bandgap is 0.55 eV, was applied to convert a wide range of radiative energy. The performance analysis shows that a single micro-combustor TPV system can produce 0.4 W ~ 27.7 W electrical power with the temperature change of emitter(900 K ~ 1,500 K) and PV cell(250 K ~ 400 K).

The demand of micro electrical mechanical system (MEMS) bio/chemical sensor is rapidly increasing. To prevent the contamination of sensing area, a filtration system is required in on-chip total analyzing MEMS bio/chemical sensor. A nano-filter was mainly applied in some application detecting submicron feature size bio/chemical products such as bacteria, fungi and so on. We suggested a simple nano-filter fabrication process based on replication process. The mother pattern was fabricated by holographic lithography and reactive ion etching process, and the replication process was carried out using polymer mold and UV-imprinting process. Finally the nano-filter is obtained after removing the replicated part of metal deposited replica. In this study, as a practical example of the suggested process, a nano-dot array was replicated to fabricate nano-filter fur bacteria sensor application.

Among other filters such as light filter, wave filter, air filter, ultra filter and filter paper, a novel adsorption filter from thermostable polyester nonwoven fabrics immobilized with functional super activated carbon by means of quinoline soluble, activateable isotropic pitch binder were developed in this study. The activated carbon precursor is available in the market branded as coconut shell based activated carbon(CCS-AC) produced by Dongyang Carbon Co. Ltd. BET-surface area of this precursor was $1,355\;m^2/g$, after KOH-activation it increased over $2,970\;m^2/g$ and was named as super activated carbon. In the preliminary research, this precursor was impregnated with $PdCl_2$(0.188 wt%) $KMnO_4$(3 wt%) and redox-agent(CuCl2, 0.577 wt%) in order to promote TOF up to 100/h and Selectivity up 99% and patented as a functional AC for the ethylene adsorption. The enhancement of the isotropic pitch binder to the AC-immobilized adsorption filter was BET-surface area upgraded by $266\;m^2/g$ and promoted the Iodine- and MB-adsorption by 1.4 times, respectively and also micro pore wide ranges < $5{\AA}{\sim}30\;{\AA}$ >.

In this study, Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology-based digital filterbank architecture applicable to a multiple-channel processing system such as a wireless mobile communication system using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology is proposed. The technique includes a micro-processor to redesign Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter coefficients according to specific system information and to download the filter coefficients to one digital Band Pass Filter (BPF) to reconfigure another system. The feasibility of the algorithm is verified by computer simulation and by implementing a multiple-channel signal generator that is reconfigurable to other system profiles, including those of a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system and a CDMA system.

We examined large particles and filter size effects of Central Chemical Supplying (CCS) system for STI-CMP on Light Point Defects (LPDs) after polishing. As manufacturing process recently gets thinner below 0.1 um line width, it is very important to keep down post-CMP micro-scratch and LPDs in case of STI-CMP. Therefore, we must control the size distribution of large particles in a slurry. With optimization of final filter size, CCS system is one of the solutions for this issue. The oxide and nitride CMP tests were accomplished using nano-ceria slurries made by ourselves. The number of large particles in a slurry and the number of LPDs on the wafer surface after CMP were reduced with decrease of the final filter size. Oxide removal rates slightly changed according to the final filter size, showing the good performance of self-made nano ceria slurries.

A highly efficient 2.4 GHz rectenna is designed using a harmonic rejection bandpass filter. The rectenna is printed on Rogers Duroid 5880 substrate with ${\varepsilon}_r$=2.2 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. The rectenna consists of a microstrip antenna and high order harmonic rejection bandpass filter, microstrip lowpass filter, and Schottky barrier diode (HSMS2820). The use of a $2^{nd}$ and $3^{rd}$ harmonic rejection microstrip bandpass filter in the rectenna results in high conversion efficiency. The proposed rectenna achieves a RF to DC conversion efficiency of 72.17 % when the received RF power is 63.09 mW.

Indoor positioning is considered an enabler for a variety of applications, the demand for an indoor positioning service has also been accelerated. That is because that people spend most of their time indoor environment. Meanwhile, the smartphone integrated powerful camera is an efficient platform for navigation and positioning. However, for high accuracy indoor positioning by using a smartphone, there are two constraints that includes: (1) limited computational and memory resources of smartphone; (2) users' moving in large buildings. To address those issues, this paper uses the TC-OFDM for calculating the coarse positioning information includes horizontal and altitude information for assisting smartphone camera-based positioning. Moreover, a unified representation model of image features under variety of scenarios whose name is FAST-SURF is established for computing the fine location. Finally, an optimization marginalized particle filter is proposed for fusing the positioning information from TC-OFDM and images. The experimental result shows that the wide location detection accuracy is 0.823 m (1σ) at horizontal and 0.5 m at vertical. Comparing to the WiFi-based and ibeacon-based positioning methods, our method is powerful while being easy to be deployed and optimized.

In this paper, we describe the method of non-invasive blood pressure measurement using pulse wave transit time(PWTT). PWTT is a new parameter involved with a vascular that can indicate the change of BP. PWTT is measured by continuous monitoring of ECG and pulse wave. No additional sensors or modules are required. In many cases, the change of PWTT correlates with the change of BP. We measure pulse wave using the photo plethysmograph(PPG) sensor in an earlobe and we measure ECG using the ECG monitoring device our made in the chest. The measurement device for detecting pulse wave consists of infrared LED for transmitted light illumination, pin photodiode as light detector, amplifier and filter. We composed 0.5Hz high pass, 60Hz notch and 10Hz low pass filter. ECG measurement device consists of multiplexer, amplifier, filter, micro-controller and RF module. After amplification and filtering, ECG signal and pulse wave is fed through micro-controller. We performed the initial work towards the development of ambulatory BP monitoring system using PWTT. An earlobe is suitable place to measure PPG signal without the restraint in daily work. From the results, we can know that the dependence of PWTT on BP is almost linear and it is possible to monitoring an individual BP continuously after the individual calibration.

Instead of using three charge-coupled devices (CCDs) for the corresponding color channels, most consumer's most consummer's color macmorders reconstruct color images by using only one CCD with a color filter array (CFA), which periodically samples different color signals. By this reson the resulting image cannot produce the full resolution of the input image. More sepecifically, a single-CCD color camcorder reconstructs red, greed, and blue color channels from a color filter array followed by a CCD. During the reconstruction process, color cross-talk among channels (interchannel distortion) and eriodically space-verying blur (intrachannel distortion) occur. The proposed restoration system reduces distortions due to interchannel interference, and then restores each color channel by removing the corresponding intrachannel distortion. Experimental results show that the proposedsystem provides the improved image in oth objective and subjective senses. A major advantage of the proposed system is feasible to real-time image improvement because it can be implemented by a finite impulse response (FIR) filter structure.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the contamination level of micro plastics in Korean mackerel and to investigate the detection method of micro plastics in fish. This study analyzed the detection and composition of micro plastics using natural mackerel and wild mackerel. 30% hydrogen peroxide and surfactant were added to GF/C filter paper in order to detect micro plastics in the sea. If micro plastics are exposed to the ocean for a long time, accumulation of heavy metals in the water will make pollutant bioaccumulation more serious. Microscopic consequences The risk to human health of plastics has already been studied by many researchers and the risks to human health already caused by marine microorganisms and zooplankton are becoming clear. The conclusion of this study is that there is a difference between the length and height of the mackerel when it is cooked from the standpoint of food in terms of practical implications. The conclusion of this study is that the probability of micro-plastic-contaminated mackerel to reach and be consumed by end-consumers is low in academic implications. Residual contaminants adsorbed on micro plastics are absorbed by digestive organs and cause disruption, and further research on micro plastics is needed in the future.
