In this paper, we consider an interconnection network, DRDT (Dual Receive Dual Transmit), that is a double-loop ring topology and adopts the concept of multiple packets transmission. For three types of DRDT configurations, we investigate some properties related to path sets and discuss the method for finding minimal path sets. Using the concept of the terminal reliability and the path sets approach, we evaluate the reliability of the DRDT networks and compare them with a single ring network and a unidirectional double-loop ring network.

We show that the microstrip ring with a narrow gap exhibits a photonic band gap (PBG) that is generally believed to be created by a periodic array. The discontinuity of impedance at the narrow gap induces the multiple reflections with fixed phase correlation necessary to make the PBG. We have also discussed the tuning of the PBG frequency by applying an external voltage on a varactor mounted on the gap and the applications of this PBG ring as a tunable bandstop filter and a microwave switch.

We suggest flux quantum-based mechanism for force realization in the sub-pico-Newton range. By controlling the number of flux quantum in a superconducting ring, a force can be created as an integer multiple of a constant force step. For a 50 nm-thick Nb ring with the inner and outer radii of $5{\mu}m\;and\;10{\mu}m$, respectively, the force step is estimated to be 165 fN, assuming the magnetic field gradient of 10 T/m. We also estimated a maximum force limit to be $1\sim2$ pN.

정보보안 응용에 적합한 self-timed 링 (ring) 기반 TRNG (true random number generator)의 경량 하드웨어 설계에 관해 기술한다. TRNG의 하드웨어 복잡도를 줄이기 위해 피드백 구조의 엔트로피 추출기를 제안하였으며, 이를 통해 링 스테이지 수를 최소화 하였다. 본 논문의 FSTR-TRNG는 동작 주파수와 엔트로피 추출 회로를 고려하여 링 스테이지 수가 11의 배수가 되도록 결정되었으며, 링 발진기가 등간격 모드로 진동할 수 있도록 토큰 (token)과 버블(bubble) 개수의 비를 결정하였다. FSTR-TRNG는 FPGA 디바이스에 구현하여 난수 생성 동작을 검증하였다. Spartan-6 FPGA 디바이스에 구현된 FSTR-TRNG로부터 2,000만 비트의 데이터를 추출하여 NIST SP 800-22에 규정된 통계학적 무작위성 테스트를 수행한 결과, 15개의 테스트가 모두 기준을 만족하는 것으로 확인되었다. Spartan-6 FPGA 디바이스로 합성한 FSTR-TRNG는 46 슬라이스로 구현이 되었으며, 180 nm CMOS 표준셀로 합성하는 경우에는 약 2,500 등가 게이트로 구현되었다.

We use grid-based hydrodynamic simulations to study star formation history in nuclear rings of barred-spiral galaxies. In our previous study, we concentrated on bar-only galaxies without spirals, finding that the star formation rate (SFR) in a nuclear ring exhibits a strong primary burst at early time before decreasing to below 1 $M_{\odot}/yr$ at late time. The rapid decline is caused by the paucity of the gas in the bar region, due to early massive gas inflows to the nuclear ring. Since star formation in nuclear rings is observed to be sustained for about 1-2 Gyr, this requires mechanisms to supply the gas to the bar regions. In this work, we study the effect of spiral arms on the radial gas inflows and related star formation in the nuclear rings. We show that spiral arms are efficient to remove angular momentum of the gas to cause significant gas inflows to the bar region, provided the patten speed of the arms is much smaller than that of the bar. The inflowing gas is added to a nuclear ring, making the ring SFR episodic over a long period of time. The time interval of multiple bursts of star formation is a few tens to hundred million years, with the mean peak SFR of ${\sim}5M_{\odot}/yr$, consistent with observations of M100.

This paper proposes a low power frequency divider for an integrated CMOS phase-locked loop (PLL). An injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) was designed, along with a current-mode logic (CML) frequency divider in order to obtain a broadband and high-frequency operation. A ring oscillator was designed to operate at 1.2 GHz, and the ILFD was used to divide the frequency of its input signal by two. The structure of the ILFD is similar to that of the ring oscillator in order to ensure the frequency alignment between the oscillator and the ILFD. The CML frequency divider was used as the second stage of the divider. The proposed frequency divider was applied in a conventional PLL design, using a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. Simulation shows that the proposed divide-by-two ILFD and the divide-by-eight CML frequency dividers operated as expected for an input frequency of 1.2 GHz, with a power consumption of 30 mW.

New and improved data on the gravitational lens systems discovered so far are compared with the theoretical predictions of Gott, Park, and Lee (1989, GPL). Systems lensed by a single galaxy, compatible with assumptions of GPL, support flat or near-flat geometry for the universe. But the statistical uncertainty is too large to draw any definite conclusion. We need more lens systems. Also, the probability of multiple image lensing and mean separation of the images averaged over the source distribution are calculated for various cosmological models. Multiple-image lens systems and radio ring systems are compared with the predictions. Although the data reject exotic cosmological models, it cannot discriminate among conventional Friedmann models yet.

Total thickness variation (TTV), BOW, and surface roughness are essential characteristics for high quality sapphire substrates. Many researchers have attempted to increase removal rate by controlling the key process parameters like pressure and velocity owing to the high cost of consumables in sapphire chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). In case of the pressure approach, increased pressure owing to higher deviation of pressure over the wafer leads to significant degradation of the TTV. In this study, the authors focused on reducing TTV under the high-pressure conditions. When the production equipment polishes multiple wafers attached on a carrier, higher loads seem to be concentrated around the leading edge of the head; this occurs because of frictional force generated by the combination of table rotation and the height of the gimbal of the polishing head. We believe the skewed pressure distribution during polishing to be the main reason of within-wafer non-uniformity (WIWNU). The insertion of a hub ring between the polishing head and substrate carrier helped reduce the pressure deviation. Adjusting the location of the hub ring enables tuning of the pressure distribution. The results indicated that the position of the hub ring strongly affected the removal profile, which confirmed that the position of the hub ring changes the pressure distribution. Furthermore, we analyzed the deformation of the head via finite element method (FEM) to verify the pressure non-uniformity over the contact area Based on experiment and FEM results, we determined the optimal position of hub ring for achieving uniform polishing of the substrate.

본 논문에서는 "KSR-III 복합재 가압탱크“에 대한 구조 설계/제작 과정을 기술하였다. 복합재 가압탱크는 라이너 위에 복합재가 덮어 씌워진 형태이다. 하중을 부담하지 않는 라이너는 AI 6061-0로 만들어 졌으며, 라이너는 헬륨가스 기밀만을 담당하였다. 복합재 탱크는 라이너 위에 T700/Epoxy로 와인딩 하였다. 알루미늄 라이너가 얇았기 때문에 다단계 경화 공정이 필라멘트 와인딩 기법에 적용되었다. 다단계 경화 공정은 라이너의 실린더가 원형 형상을 잃지 않게 하였다. 보스부의 체결력은 보스링에 의하여 카본섬유로 분산되었다. 또한 보스링은 보스부의 국부적 변형을 막았다.

The electric power can be converted into the mechanical power by a corona discharge system. This way has not stronger force than a electric motor. But it has been applied in various industrial fields because of many advantages, no moving parts, smaller noise, simpler structure, minimizing et al. In this paper, corona discharge system with multiple corona electrode installed in form of the ring, has been studied by focusing on the electrical and mechanical characteristics. Intensity of the corona discharge depends on applied electric field, and electric field is related to the applied voltage, discharge gap spacing(s), distance between each corona electrodes(d). As a result, in the case d/s=0.9, most intensive discharge occurred in this experiments. In the region of d/s<0.9, ionic wind velocity has saturation value in spite of decreasing corona current, because each ion velocities increase by the increasing electric field.
