In this paper, flow characteristics of plasma flow in a micro-tube were investigated experimentally using micro particle image velocimetry(micro-PIV). For comparison, the experiments were repeated for deionized(DI) wale. instead of plasma. Both velocity profiles of plasma and do-ionized water are well agreed with the theoretical velocity distribution of newtonian fluid. We also carried out generating plasma-in-oil droplet formation at a Y-junction microchannel. In order to clarify the hydrodynamic aspects involved in plasma droplet formation, Rhodamine-B were mixed with plasma only for visualization of plasma droplet. With oil as the continuous phase and plasma as the dispersed phase, plasma droplet can be generated in a continuous phase flow at a Y-junction. For given experimental parameters, regular-sized droplets are reproducibly formed at a uniform flow conditions.

In this paper we present a 3-DOF manipulator of which task is to unload the product from a micro factory. The micro factory developed by KITECH presses sheet metal to produce a micro valve that is used for micro pump. Our research is focused on the development of a small-sized unloading manipulator which works in the narrow workspace between the dies. We have implemented pick-and-place task with vacuum pressure and 3-DOF motion with stepping motors. We present the design procedures and analysis required in each module.

Flow characteristics of blood flow in a micro channel were investigated experimentally using a micro-PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) velocity field measurement technique. The main objective of this study was to understand the real blood flow in micron-sized blood vessels. The Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter of micro-channel for deionized (DI) water was about Re=0.34. For each experimental condition, 100 instantaneous velocity fields were captured and ensemble-averaged to get the spatial distributions of mean velocity. In addition, the motion of RBC (Red Blood Cell) was visualized with a high-speed CCD camera. The captured flow images of nano-scale fluorescent tracer particles in DI water were clear and gave good velocity tracking-ability. However, there were substantial velocity variations in the central region of real blood flow in a micro-channel due to the presence of red blood cells.

In large area scanning with a micro-electron column, the optimal operation condition for the best visibility was studied. A micro-electron column can realize nearly unlimited scanning size with distribution of micro-electron columns, therefore applicable to large sized SEM or VSEM. The maximum scanning size with a micro-electron column was about $200cm^2$ when only one deflector was employed. However, a double deflector equipped micro-electron column provided 1.7 times larger scanning area with the same visibility as that of one deflector.

가스 하이드레이트는 순수한 물이 이루는 격자구조 내에 다양한 가스분자들이 선택적으로 포획되어진 고체상의 화합물로, 최근 이산화탄소를 포집, 수송, 저장 하는 CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage)기술에 이를 응용하려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 가스 하이드레이트를 적용한 CCS 기술의 핵심은 효과적으로 $CO_2$ 하이드레이트를 제조하는 기법의 개발이며, 본 연구에서는 초음파 노즐을 이용하여 수십 나노미터 직경의 미세수적을 통해 고속의 $CO_2$ 하이드레이트 제조기술 개발하였고, 이 과정의 특성을 파악해 보았다. 주파수 2.4 MHz의 초음파 노즐을 이용하여 미세직경의 수적을 분무하고 이송가스(carrier gas)로 $CO_2$를 적용, 미세 수적과 $CO_2$가 동시에 급속 냉각되는 저온 반응기에 도입되어 다공질 얼음입자가 직접 평균 $10.7{\mu}m$ 직경의 $CO_2$ 하이드레이트로 생성되는 연속공정을 개발하였다. 미세직경 얼음입자를 시작물로 하여 정압조건에서 $CO_2$ 하이드레이트가 생성되도록 하며 가스포집량을 측정, 그의 가스 포집속도를 알아본 결과, 미세직경이며 동시에 다공 얼음이 제공하는 높은 기-고 접촉면적으로 인해 가스 하이드레이트 생성에 매우 적합한 것을 알 수 있었으며, 제조된 $CO_2$ 하이드레이트의 자기보존효과(self-preservation effect)를 실험으로 확인함으로서 $CO_2$ 가스의 수송에도 이용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 CuO와 ZnO의 입자 크기가 옥수수의 성장과 토양 미생물 군집에 미치는 독성을 microcosm 실험을 통하여 살펴보았다. 나노 입자는 micro 입자에 비해 옥수수의 biomass를 약 30% 감소시켜 나노 입자가 옥수수의 성장을 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 토양 미생물 활성 지표인 Dehydrogenase activity는 CuO 나노 입자에서는 낮게 나타났으나 ZnO 나노 입자에서는 높게 나타났다. Biolog test 결과, CuO 나노 입자와 ZnO micro 입자에서 토양 미생물 다양성이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로, metal oxide의 나노 입자가 micro 입자보다 항상 토양 미생물의 활성 및 다양성에 더 유해한 영향을 나타내는 것은 아니라고 판단된다.

The effective fracture toughness testing of materials intended for application in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices is required in order to improve understanding of how micro sized material used in device may be expected to perform upon the micro scale. ${\gamma}$-TiAl based materials are being considered for application in MEMS devices at elevated temperatures. Especially, in Alloy 4, both ${\alpha}_2$ and ${\gamma}$ lamellae were altered markedly in 3,000 h, $700^{\circ}C$ exposure. Parallel decomposition of coarse ${\alpha}_2$ into bunches of very fine (${\alpha}_2+{\gamma}$) lamellae. Parallel decomposition of coarse ${\alpha}_2$ into bunches of very fine (${\alpha}_2+{\gamma}$) lamellae. The materials were examined 2 types Alloy 4 on heat exposed specimen($700^{\circ}C$, 3,000 h) and no heat exposed one. Micro sized cantilever beams were prepared mechanical polishing on both side at $25{\sim}30{\mu}m$ and electro final stage polishing to observe lamellar orientation of same colony with EBSD (Electron Backscatter Diffraction Pattern). Through lamellar orientation as inter-lamellae or trans-lamellae, Cantilever beam was fabricated with Focused Ion Beam(FIB). The directional behavior of the lamellar structure was important property in single material, because of the effects of the different processing method and variations in properties according to lamellar orientation. In MEMS application, it is first necessary to have a reliable understanding of the manufacturing methods to be used to produce micro structure.

We proposed a concept of a desktop micro device factory for visually servoed teleoperated microassembly assisted by a virtual reality (VR) interface. It is composed of two micromanipulators equipped with micro tools operating under a light microscope. First a manipulator, control method for the micro object to follow a planned trajectory in pushing operation is proposed undo. vision based-position control. Then, we present the cooperation control strategy of the micro handling operation under vision-based force control integrating a sensor fusion framework approach. A guiding-system based on virtual micro-world exactly reconstructed from the CAD-CAM databases of the real environment being considered is presented for the imprecisely calibrated micro world. Finally, some experimental results of microassembly tasks performed on millimeter-sized components are provided.

Semiconductor piezoresistive type vibration sensor was fabricated by using semiconductor process and micromachining technology. To measure the micro electromagnetic force between coil and magnet, fabricated vibration sensor was used. Toapply micro electromagnetic force produced from the micro exciter, small-sized NdFeB permanent magnet was attached on the mass of the fabricated vibration sensor. The measured electromagnetic force are about 5~180dyne when the applied sinusoidal current of 1KHz in the range of 1.5~8mA. The measurement of micro electromagnetic forcewas performed by changing the distance between coil and magnet. Output characteristics of micro electromagnetic force according to the applied coil current were linear. Furthermore, output results were used to get the transfer constant that is important to decide the efficiency and the performance of the coil and magnet.

This paper presents a macro/micro flip chip mounting head system for precise force control. In the proposed macro/ micro system, the macro actuator is conventional do servomotor with a ball screw mechanism and the micro actuator is a voice coil motor(VCM) that consists of four NdFeB magnets and a winded moving coil. For force control, a sensitive strain-gauge force sensor is mounted in the micro actuator. Through harmonic motion between macro and micro actuator, we would like to get precise contact force control when small sized flip chip is mounted on flexible substrate in high speed. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed macro/micro flip chip mounting head system, we com...
