A novel ${\Sigma}{\Delta}$ fractional-N PLL architecture for fast locking and fractional spur suppressing is proposed based on the capacitance scaling scheme. It changes the effective capacitance of loop filter (LF) by increasing and decreasing current to the capacitor via different paths with multiple charge pumps. The effective capacitance of loop filter (LF) can be scaled up/down depending on operating status while keeping LF capacitors small enough to be integrated into a single PLL chip. Fractional spurs suppressing have been achieved by reducing the magnitude of charge pump current when the PLL is in-lock without degrading fast locking characteristic. It has been simulated by HSPICE in a CMOS $0.35{\mu}m$ process, and shows flat locking time is less than $8{\mu}s$ with the small size of LF capacitors, 200pF and 17pF, and $2.8k{\Omega}$ resistor.

Mass transfer mechanism and concentration profiles in the axial direction at each phase were analyzed and simulated by a theoretical modeling on a liquid-liquid static contactor using highly packed fiber bundle. The concentrations at the end of the fiber extractor calculated at several operational conditions were compared with experimental results. The fiber extractor could be completely predicted by a plug flow model without axial dispersion. A parameter used in the model equations, $k_a{\sigma}$ called the product of mass transfer coefficient and mass transfer area per unit length of the fiber extractor in the axial direction, which was determined by a curve-fitting, was confirmed to be a unique characteristic value of the fiber extractor, and was about 0.0327cm2/sec.

The corona noise level at the place 10m and the frequency 1MHz from the new 345KV transmission line is 72dB in the maximum rain-fall and 63dB due to the wet conductors. The synthesized corona noise level of all 3 phases dominantly depends on the phase which has maximum corona level among them. The measured characteristic of the variation with distance from the line coincided well with the theoretically calculated value in this paper. The corona noise level was the highest level in rainy weather or snow-fall. It takes a few hours, for the corona noise to be stable after a rain-fall or snow-fall. The measured value of the corona noise level corresponds quite well with the formula for the corona noise level revision. It was necessary to quantize S/N ratio into radio reception quality for the radio interference due to the transmission line. Some regulations for radio reception quality were defined through long term experiments and ratings by ITU, IEEE comittee, NHK in Japan and others. Fixing our own regulation about radio reception quality should be required.

This paper deals with a method to measure the thickness of scale-layer, iron oxide formed on the surface of the rolling steel, using a dielectric lens antenna. The dielectric lens antenna has an independent characteristic with the frequency in the X-band and changes the spherical wave radiated from a horn antenna into a plane wave at the focusing point. Using this concept, we regard a scale-layer on the rolling steel as a dielectric-PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) layer and apply a theoretical analysis of the normal-incident plane wave. To reduce the phase error arising from the use of the dielectric lens antenna, this paper utilizes a regression process algorithm. In comparison with the conventional iteration algorithm, the present algorithm led to a unique solution for the thickness of the scale-layer.

Recently, numerous studies have utilized graphene in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, cancer therapy, and bioimaging. In this study, graphene was eco-friendly prepared by liquid phase exfoliation of graphite using plant extracts in water. Initially, 12 different plants or plant parts were screened for the characteristic graphene peak at near 268 nm using UV-Vis spectrophotometric analyses. The ability to form stable black graphene dispersion was highest using Xanthium strumarium extract. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that about 5 layer-graphene was produced from 1 g/L of graphite, while more than 5 layers were formed from 2 g/L of graphite. The optimum X. strumarium concentration for graphene production was 2 g/100 mL.

In this study, polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) in the composition from 51/49, was deposited on platinum for a metal-ferroelectric-metal structure. From XRD patterns, the 70 nm- and 140 nm-thick PVDF-TrFE films showed the intensity peak of near $20^{\circ}$ connected to a ferroelectric phase. Moreover, the thicker film indicated the higher intensity than thinner one. The difference of the remanent polarization (2Pr) at 0 V is decreased gradually from 10.19 to $5.7{\mu}C/cm^2$ as the thickness decrease from 140 to 70 nm. However, when the thickness decreased to 50 nm, the 2Pr rapidly drop to $1.6{\mu}C/cm^2$ so the minimum critical thickness might be at least 70 nm for device. Both different thickness films, 70 and 140 nm, indicated that the characteristic of current density-voltage was measured for $10^{-6}{\sim}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ below 15 V and the thicker film maintained relatively lower current density than thinner one. From these results, we can expect that the electrical properties for the devices particularly ferroelectric thin film transistor using PVDF-TrFE copolymer were able to be on the trade-off relationship between the remanent polarization with the bias voltage and the leakage current.

The steady state close-contact melting phenomenon occurring between a phase change material and an isothermally heated flat plate with relative motion is investigated analytically, in which the effects of vertical convection in the liquid film and solid-liquid density difference are incorporated simultaneously. Not only the scale analysis is conducted to estimate a priori qualitative dependence of system variables on characteristic parameters, but also an analytical solution to a set of simplified model equations is obtained to specify the effects under consideration. These two results are consistent with each other, in that the vertical convection affects both the solid descending velocity and the film thickness, and that the density difference alters only the solid descending velocity. While the effect of vertical convection can be characterized conveniently by a newly introduced temperature gradient factor which asymptotically approaches the unity/zero with decreasing/increasing the Stefan number, that of density difference is represented by the liquid-to-solid density ratio. It is shown that the solid descending velocity depends linearly on the density ratio, and that the ratios of solid descending velocity, film thickness and friction coefficient to the conduction solution are proportional to 3/4, 1/4 and -1/4 powers of the temperature gradient factor, respectively. Also, established is the fact that the effect of convection can be legitimately neglected in the analysis for the range of the Stefan number less than 0.1.

This study was intended to inquire into Check Pattern. The purpose of this study attempted to make a systematic investigation of the characteristic of the Check Pattern, the checker using vertical and horizontal lines which was the universal plastic element and inquire into it in terms of era, designers and combined work. By doing so, this study attempted to Investigate the phase of the Check Pattern in world fashion and further forecast the future of checker design applicable to the 21th century fashion. The result can be summarized as follows : 1. Mondrim's neo-plasticism has not only had a great influence on Op Art and Minimalism work but is deeply related to fashion and textile design. Mondrian used vertical and horizontal line ad the dualistic element. 2. The checker is estimated to have been used since the Etruian times, though uncertain. and largely divided into the Madras check and Scotland Check. Though the origin of the tartan representation of the Scotland check can not be accurately found out, it began to emerge in around the 13th century. 3. Check Pattern has began to be widely used with the development of the textile industry since 1826 and been used in every typical Sihoutto appearing in each era up to the present. And Check Pattern is used most designer in the world, who represent their own personality in their works. This study could find out that the checker is the element of Infinite applicability in the future. It is expected that the sophisticated and beautiful design using the chocker will be presented by many korean designer though the overall and systematic study of the checker.

In this study, highly miniaturized short-wavelength meander line employing eriodically patterned ground structure (PPGS) was developed for application to miniaturized on-chip passive component on GaAs MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit). The meander line employing PPGS showed shorter wavelength and slow-wave characteristic compared with conventional meander line. The wavelength of the meander line employing PPGS structure was 17 % of the conventional meander line on GaAs MMIC. Due to its slow-wave structure, the meander line employing PPGS exhibited large propagation constant than conventional meander line, which resulted in larger phase shift and shunt inductance value. Above results indicate that the meander line employing PPGS is a promising candidate for application to a development of miniaturized on-chip RF components as well as inductor with a high inductance value on GaAs MMIC.
