As the aged population grows around the world, many medical instruments and devices have been developed recently. Among the devices, a drug delivery stent is a medical device which requires precision machining. Conventional drug delivery stent has problems of residual polymer and decoating because the drug is coated on the surface of stent with the polymer. If the drug is impregnated in micro hole array on the surface of the stent, the problem can be solved. Micro sized holes are generally fabricated by laser machining; however, the fabricated holes do not have an enough aspect ratio to contain the drug or a good surface finish to deliver it to blood vessel tissue. To overcome these problems, we propose a vibration-assisted machining mechanism with PZT (Piezoelectric Transducers) for the fabrication of micro sized holes. If the mechanism vibrates the eyepiece of the laser machining head, the laser spot on the workpiece will vibrate vertically because objective lens in the eyepiece shakes by the mechanism's vibration. According to the former researches, the vibrating frequency over 20kHz and amplitude over 500nm are preferable. The vibration mechanism has cylindrical guide, hollowed PZT and supports. In the cylinder, the eyepiece is mounted. The cylindrical guide has upper and low plates and side wall. The shape of plates and side wall are designed to have high resonating frequency and large amplitude of motion. The PZT also is selected to have high actuating force and high speed of motion. The support has symmetrical and rigid characteristics.

구조용 일액형 에폭시 접착제에 나노 및 마이크로 크기의 Fe₃O₄ 분말을 첨가하여 유도가열용 접착제를 제조하였고, 제조된 접착제를 이용하여 GFRP 피착재의 두께 및 Fe₃O₄ 분말의 첨가량 변화에 따른 가열 성능을 평가하였다. 실험 결과, 접착제의 승온 거동이 유도 가열로 가열한 경우 오븐경화에 비해 GFRP 피착재의 두께에 영향을 작게 받는 것이 관찰되었으며 접착제 내의 Fe₃O₄ 분말의 함량이 증가할수록 가열 속도와 전단 강도가 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.

This experiment has been carried out to measure the process of droplet formation between water phase fluid(PVA 3%) and organic phase fluid(oil) and vector fields measured by a Dynamic Micro-PIV method in the inside of a droplet while generated. Droplet length controlled by changing flow rate conditions in microchannel. Water-in-oil(W/O) droplets successfully generated at a Y junction and cross microchannel. But oil-in-water(O/W) droplets could not be formed at a Y junction microchannel. That is, PVA 3% flow could not be detached from the PDMS surface and ran parallel with oil flow. When PVA 3% flow rate was constant, droplet length and time period decreased as oil flow rate increased, but droplet frequency increased. When PVA 3% and oil flow rate ratio was constant, droplet length and time period decreased as flow rate increased, but droplet frequency increased. All that case, Standard deviation of droplet formation have less than 5% at averaged droplet length and regular-sized droplets were reproducibly formed.

The 304 stainless steel powders were prepared by high energy ball milling and subsequently sintered by spark plasma sintering, and the microstructural characteristics and micro-hardness were investigated. The initial size of the irregular shaped 304 stainless steel powders was approximately 42 ${\mu}m$. After high energy ball milling at 800 rpm for 5h, the powders became spherical with a size of approximately 2 ${\mu}m$, and without formation of reaction compounds. From TEM analysis, it was confirmed that the as-milled powders consisted of the aggregates of the nano-sized particles. As the sintering temperature increased from 1073K to 1573K, the relative density and micro-hardness of sintered sample increased. The sample sintered at 1573K showed the highest relative density of approximately 95% and a micro-hardness of 550 Hv.

본 연구에서는 좁게 형성되는 프리캐스트 옹벽 배면에 상재하중을 재하 하였을 경우 마이크로파일의 수평저항 거동에 대한 설치 효율성을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 확인하기 위한 수단으로 모형시험과 수치해석을 수행 하였다. 실내모형시험은 모형토조에 기초지반 조성 후 모형옹벽을 설치하였으며, 옹벽 배면에 상재하중을 재하 하여 마이크로파일의 설치간격 및 길이 등을 각각 변화시켜 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 보강된 마이크로파일이 프리캐스트 옹벽에 발생하는 수평방향 변형을 효과적으로 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 마이크로파일의 간격을 좁게 설치하고 파일의 길이가 길어질수록 보강효율이 증가하는 경향을 보이며, 파일의 길이가 0.5H 설치간격은 7D에서 최적의 보강효율을 나타내는 것으로 평가되었다.

Various types of micro cone penetrometers have been developed by using strain gages for the layered soil detection. Strain gages, however, are affected by several factors such as temperature, self heating and lead wire length. In this study, micro cone penetrometers with 3~7mm in diameter, are developed by using FBG sensor to overcome the defects of the strain gage, and compensate the effect of temperature during penetration. In order to verifiy the accuracy and reliability of the developed FBG cone, the cone penetration test is performed on the layered soil. The tip resistance of FBG snesor shows excellent sensitivity, and can detect the interface of the layered soils with higher resolution. In addition, the 3mm micro cone penetrometer which is impossible cone diameter by using strain gages presents much higher sensitivity than the 7mm cone penetrometer. This study suggests that FBG sensor is a useful sensor for manufaturing the ultra small sized cone, and effectively detects the interface of the layered soil.

Micro-sized bumps on a multi-layered build-up PCB were fabricated by pulse-reverse copper electroplating. The values of the current density and brightener content for the electroplating were optimized for suitable performance with maximum efficiency. The micro-bumps thus electroplated were characterized using a range of analytical tools that included an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope, an atomic force microscope and a hydraulic bulge tester. The optical microscope and scanning electron microscope analyses results showed that the uniformity of the electroplating was viable in the current density range of $2-4\;A/dm^2$; however, the uniformity was slightly degraded as the current density increased. To study the effect of the brightener concentration, the concentration was varied from zero to 1.2 ml/L. The optimum concentration for micro-bump electroplating was found to be 0.6 ml/L based on an examination of the electroplating properties, including the roughness, yield strength and grain size.

For white light emitting diode (LED) applications, it has been reported that Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) in nano-sized phosphor performs better than it does in micro-sized particles. This is because nano-sized YAG:Ce can reduce internal light scattering when coated onto a blue LED surface. Recently, there have been many reports on the synthesis of nano-sized YAG particles using bottom-up method, such as co-precipitation method, sol-gel process, hydrothermal method, solvothermal method, and glycothermal method. However, there has been no report using top-down method. Top-down method has advantages than bottom-up method, such as large scale production and easy control of doping concentration and particle size. Therefore, in this study, nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors were synthesized by a high energy beads milling process with varying beads size, milling time and milling steps. The beads milling process was performed by Laboratory Mill MINICER with ZrO2 beads. The phase identity and morphology of nano-sized YAG:Ce were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively. By controlling beads size, milling time and milling steps, we synthesized a size-tunable and uniform nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors which average diameters were 100, 85 and 40 nm, respectively. After milling, there was no impurity and all of the peaks were in good agreement with YAG (JCPDS No. 33-0040). Luminescence and quantum efficiency (QE) of nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors were measured by fluorescence spectrometer and QE measuring instrument, respectively. The synthesized YAG:Ce absorbed light efficiently in the visible region of 400-500 nm, and showed single broadband emission peaked at 550 nm with 50% of QE. As a result, by considering above results, high energy beads milling process could be a facile and reproducible synthesis method for nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors.
