Recently, with the increasing lightness and miniaturization of high resolution camera phones, the demand for aspheric glass lens has increased because plastic and spherical lens are unable to satisfy the required performance. An aspheric glass lens is fabricated by the high temperature and pressure molding using a tungsten carbide molding core, so precision grinding and coating technology for the molding core surface are required. This study investigates the effect of diamond-like carbon (DLC) and rhenium-iridium (Re-Ir) coating For aspheric molding core surface. The grinding conditions of the tungsten carbide molding core were obtained by design of experiments (DOE) for application in the ultra precision grinding process of the tungsten carbide molding core of the aspheric glass lens used in 5 megapixel, $4{\times}$ zoom camera phone modules. A tungsten carbide molding core was fabricated under this grinding condition and coated with the DLC and Re-Ir coating. By measurements, the effect of DLC and Re-Ir coating on the form accuracy and surface roughness of molding coer was evaluated.

Recently, we have developed p-i-n a-Si:H single junction thin film solar cells with RF (13.56MHz) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system, and also successfully fabricated the mini modules ($>300cm^2$), using the laser patterning technique to form an integrated series connection. The efficiency of a mini module was 7.4% ($Area=305cm^2$, Isc=0.25A, Voc=14.74V, FF=62%). To fabricate large area modules, it is important to optimise the integrated series connection, without damaging the cell. We have newly installed the laser patterning equipment that consists of two different lasers, $SHG-YVO_4$ (${\lambda}=0.532{\mu}m$) and YAG (${\lambda}=1.064{\mu}m$). The mini-modules are formed through several scribed lines such as pattern-l (front TCO), pattern-2 (PV layers) and pattern-3 (BR/back contact). However, in the case of pattern-3, a high-energy part of laser shot damaged the textured surface of the front TCO, so that the resistance between the each cells decreases due to an incomplete isolation. In this study, the re-deposition of SnOx from the front TCO, Zn (BR layer) and Al (back contact) on the sidewalls of pattern-3 scribed lines was observed. Moreover, re-crystallization of a-Si:H layers due to thermal damage by laser patterning was evaluated. These cause an increase of a leakage current, result in a low efficiency of module. To optimize a-Si:H single junction thin film modules, a laser beam profile was changed, and its effect on isolation of scribed lines is discussed in this paper.

Purpose: The purpose of current study is to evaluate the response of the patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) or hepatic vein thrombosis (HVT) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT). In addition, survival of patients and potential prognostic factors of the survival was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Forty-seven patients with PVT or HVT in HCC, referred to our department for radiotherapy, were retrospectively reviewed. For 3D-CRT plans, a gross tumor volume (GTV) was defined as a hypodense filling defect area in the portal vein (PV) or hepatic vein (HV). Survival of patients, and response to radiation therapy (RT) were analyzed. Potential prognostic factors for survival and response to RT were evaluated. Results: The median survival time of 47 patients was 8 months, with 1-year survival rate of 15% and response rate of 40%. Changes in Child-Pugh score, response to RT, Eastern cooperative oncology group performance status (ECOG PS), hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb) positivity, and additional post RT treatment were statistically significant prognostic factors for survival in univariate analysis (p = 0.000, p = 0.018, p = 0.000, p = 0.013, and p = 0.047, respectively). Of these factors, changes in Child-Pugh score, and response to RT were significant for patients' prognosis in multivariate analysis (p = 0.001 and p = 0.035, respectively). Conclusion: RT could constitute a reasonable treatment option for patients with PVT or HVT in HCC with acceptable toxicity. Changes in Child-Pugh score, and response to RT were statistically significant factors of survival of patients.

We demonstrate here that an improvement in precursor film density (green density) leads to a great enhancement in the photovoltaic performance of CuInSe2 (CISe) thin film solar cells fabricated with Cu-In nanoparticle precursor films via chemical solution deposition. A cold-isostatic pressing (CIP) technique was applied to uniformly compress the precursor film over the entire surface (measuring 3~4 cm2) and was found to increase its relative density (particle packing density) by ca. 20%, which resulted in an appreciable improvement in the microstructural features of the sintered CISe film in terms of lower porosity, reduced grain boundaries, and a more uniform surface morphology. The low-bandgap (Eg=1.0 eV) CISe PV devices with the CIP-treated film exhibited greatly enhanced open-circuit voltage (VOC, from 0.265 V to 0.413 V) and fill factor (FF, from 0.34 to 0.55), as compared to the control devices. As a consequence, an almost 3-fold increase in the average power conversion efficiency, 3.0 to 8.2% (with the highest value of 9.02%), was realized without an anti-reflection coating. A diode analysis revealed that the enhanced VOC and FF were essentially attributed to the reduced reverse saturation current density (j0) and diode ideality factor (n). This is associated with the suppressed recombination, likely due to the reduction in recombination sites such as grain/air surfaces (pores), inter-granular interfaces, and defective CISe/CdS junctions in the CIP-treated device. From the temperature dependences of VOC, it was confirmed that the CIP-treated devices suffer less from interface recombination.

The present study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of sapota powder (SP) as natural preservatives and its better utilization in food processing with the incorporation of various levels of SP (2, 4, and 6%) by replacing lean meat. Based on the sensory attributes, pork patties with 4% incorporation of SP was found optimum and selected for further storage studies with control under aerobic and modified atmosphere packaging at refrigeration temperature ($4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) for 42 days for assessing its antioxidant and antimicrobial efficiency. During entire storage period, indicators of lipid oxidative parameters such as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), free fatty acids (FFA) and peroxide value (PV) followed an increasing trend for control as well as treated products; however, treated product showed a significantly (p<0.05) lower value than control. A significantly lower (p<0.05) microbial count in treated patties than control was noted during entire storage. The sensory attributes are better retained in treated product as compared to control and even on $42^{nd}$ day, overall acceptability of treated patties was found to fall in moderately acceptable category (5.95 in aerobic packets and 5.91 in modified atmosphere packets). Therefore SP has potential to enhance antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of pork patties during storage.

This paper presents energy self-sufficiency simulated in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by adopting solar energy production systems that vary with installation conditions. Relative to the national average energy consumption in WWTPs, the employment of 100 kW photovoltaics (PVs) was simulated to achieve 2.75% of energy self-sufficiency. The simulated results suggested that the installation of PVs toward South or South west would produce the highest energy self-sufficiency in WWTPs. When super-hydrophilic coating was employed in the conventional PVs, 5% of additional solar energy production was achievable as compared to uncoated conventional PVs. When 100 kW of PVs were installed in a future test-bed site, Kihyeung Respida located in Yougin, Sourth Korea, the energy self-sufficiency by solar energy was simulated to be 1.77% (2010). The simulated energy self-sufficiency by azimuth(direction) will be useful reference for practitioners in designing the solar PV systems in the WWTPs.

차세대 이동통신 네트워크는 다양한 이종 접속 시스댐들이 통합된 환경에서 vertical 핸드오버와 seamless 핸드오버를 지원하여야 한다. IEEE 802.21은 이를 위해 이종 접속 네트워크에서 효율적인 핸도오버 서비스를 지원하는 Media Independent Handover (MlH) 서비스를 제안하였다. 그리고 IETF는 호스트 이동성을 지원하고 핸드오버 지연을 감소시킬 수 있는 Fast handover for MIPv6 (FMIPv6) 기술을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 MIH 서비스와 FMIPv6 기술을 융합하여, 차세대 이동통신 네트워크 환경에 적합한 이동성 관리 프레임워크를 제안한다. 제안하는 프레임워크는 무선 네트워크 구간에서 오버헤드로 작용하던 핸드오버 시그널링 메시지들의 사용을 줄이고, 새로운 MIH 메시지 및 로컬 프리미티브를 사용한다. 또한, 사용자 단말에서 수행하던 많은 핸도오버 처리 절차들을 Serving Access Router (SAR)가 수행하도록 제안한다. 따라서 제안된 이행 관리 프레임워크는 기존의 프레임워크에 비해 핸드오버 시그널령 오버헤드, 핸드오버 지연 및 패킷 손실을 감소시킬 수 있고, 수치해석과 네트워크 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 검증한다.

본 연구는 신규로 구축 된 장비의 정확성과 PVT 제품의 KS 기준의 방향성을 살펴보았다. 먼저 신규로 구축된 Indoor solar thermal simulator의 경우, 인공광의 빔 균일도와 분광 특성을 기존의 규격 조건을 충족되도록 설계했으며, 실제 시험을 통해 B 등급임을 확인하였다. Indoor solar thermal simulator 장비의 정확도는 상용 태양광 모듈 및 기존 상용 장비로 측정 후, 최대 전력값을 비교했으며 오차 값은 약 0.4%로 정확도가 높음을 확인하였다. PVT 제품의 효율은 기존의 태양광 모듈 KS 기준과 태양열 집열기 KS 기준을 준용하여 측정하면 될 것으로 보이며, PVT 제품의 구조적 특징인 열매체 냉각에 의한 추가 전기 효율 방법 개발은 필요해 보이며, 본 연구에서는 태양광 모듈 케이블의 단락 유무에 따른 효율 상승 차이를 살펴보았고 추가 전기 효율 측정 방법으로 가능성을 제시하였다. 다양한 PVT 모듈의 유형에 따라 특히, PVT 모듈 전면에 유리 커버 유무에 따라 출력 감소가 발생되고 추가 공정에 의해 전기 출력 특성이 달라지는 값을 고려하여 PVT 제품의 전기 효율 측정 시험은 인증을 받은 제품을 이용하여 제작을 했어도 반드시 재시험이 필요하다고 판단되며, 시험방법이 수립되어야한다. 마지막으로 PVT 제품의 내구성 평가를 경우, 기존의 태양광 모듈 및 집열기의 내구성 시험의 모든항목을 KS 인증 시험 항목에 포함 시켜야 된다고 판단되며, 제품의 특성에 따라 시험의 재배열을 추가 연구가 필요해 보이며, 집열기 부분의 내구성을 고려하여 합부 기준을 추가적으로 고려해야 한다고 판단된다.

1Gb급 이상 기억소자의 캐패시터 재료로 주목받고 있는 (Ba,Sr)TiO3 [BST] 박막의 전극재료로는 Pt, Ru, Ir과 같은 금속전극과 RuO2, IrO2와 산화물 전도체가 유망한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그런데, DRAM의 집적도가 증가하게 되면, BST같은 고유전율 박막을 유전재료로 사용한다 하더라도, 3차원적인 구조가 불가피하게 때문에 기존의 sputtering 방법으로는 우수한 단차피복성을 얻기 힘들므로, MOCVD법이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 연구되었던 Pt에 비해 식각특성이 우수하고, 비교적 낮은 비저항을 갖는 Ru 박막증착에 대한 연구를 행하였다. 본 연구에서는 수직형의 반응기와 저항 가열 방식의 susceptor로 구성된 저압 유기금속 화학증착기를 사용하여 최대 6inch 직경을 갖는 기판 위에 Ru박막을 증착하였다. Precursor로는 기존에 연구된 적이 없는 bis-(ethyo-$\pi$-cyclopentadienyl)Ru (Ru(C5H4C2H5)2, [Ru(EtCp)2])를 사용하였으며, bubbler의 온도는 85$^{\circ}C$로 하였다. Si, SiO2/Si를 사용하였으며, 증착온도 25$0^{\circ}C$~40$0^{\circ}C$, 증착압력 3Torr의 조건에서 Ru 박막을 증착하였다. Presursor를 운반하는 수송기체로는 Ar을 사용하였으며, carbon과 같은 불순물의 제거를 위해 O2를 첨가하였다. 증착된 박막은 XRD, SEM, 4-point probe등을 통해 구조적, 전기적 특성을 평가하였으며, 열역학 계산을 위해서는 SOLGASMIX-PV프로그램을 사용하였다. Ru 박막의 증착에 있어서 산소의 첨가는 필수적이었으며, Ru 박막의 증착속도는 30$0^{\circ}C$~40$0^{\circ}C$의 온도 영역에서 200$\AA$/min으로 일정하였으며, 첨가된 산소의 양이 적을수록 더 치밀하고 평탄한 표면형상을 보였으며, 또한 더 낮은 전기 전도도를 보였다. 그리고 증착된 박막은 12~15$\mu$$\Omega$cm 정도의 낮은 비저항 값을 나타냈으며 이것은 기존의 sputtering 법에 의해 증착된 Ru 박막의 비저항 값들과 비교될만하다. 한편, 높은 온도, 높은 산소분압 조건에서 RuO2의 형성을 관찰하였으며, 이것은 열역학적인 계산을 통해서 잘 설명할 수 있었다.
