Because of the novel characteristics such as chemical stability, hardness, electrical resistivity and thermal conductance, diamond-like carbon (DLC) film is a suitable materials for the passivation layers. For this purpose, DLC films are synthesized under various conditions and are characterized. Adhesive stregth is excellent and increased with the increase of the hydrogen gas flow rate. The resistivity of approximately 5.3X10$^{8}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ is measured by automatic spreading resistance probe analysis method. The thermal conductivity of DLC films is superior to that of PSG oxide and improved by increasing the hydrogen gas flow rate. The patterning techniques of the DLC films is developed using the lift-off and RIE methods to form 5${\mu}$m line. Finally, power transistor with the DLC film as passivation layer is fabricated and analyzed. The test result shows the improsved long-term stability and higher breakdown voltage.

Despite of the laminar-turbulent transition region co-exist with fully turbulence region around the leading edge of an airfoil, still lots of researchers apply to fully turbulence models to predict aerodynamic characteristics. It is well known that fully turbulent model such as standard k-${\varepsilon}$ model couldn't predict the complex stall and the separation behavior on an airfoil accurately, it usually leads to over prediction of the aerodynamic characteristics such as lift and drag forces. So, we apply correlation based transition model to predict aerodynamic performance of the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) Phase IV wind turbine. And also, compare the computed results from transition model with experimental measurement and fully turbulence results. Results are presented for a range of wind speed, for a NREL Phase IV wind turbine rotor. Low speed shaft torque, power, root bending moment, aerodynamic coefficients of 2D airfoil and several flow field figures results included in this study. As a result, the low speed shaft torque predicted by transitional turbulence model is very good agree with the experimental measurement in whole operating conditions but fully turbulent model(k-${\varepsilon}$) over predict the shaft torque after 7m/s. Root bending moment is also good agreement between the prediction and experiments for most of the operating conditions, especially with the transition model.

Aerodynamic characteristic of a small scale wind turbine under the influence of an incoming uniform wind field is studied using k-ω Shear Stress Transport turbulence model. Firstly, the lift and drag characteristics of the blade section consisting of S826 airfoil is studied using 2D simulations at a Reynolds number of 1×10⁵. After that, the full turbine including the rotational effects of the blade is simulated using Multiple Reference Frames (MRF) and Sliding Mesh Interface (SMI) numerical techniques. The differences between the two techniques are quantified. It is then followed by a detailed comparison of the turbine's power/thrust output and the associated wake development at three tip speeds ratios (λ = 3, 6, 10). The phenomenon of blockage effect and spatial features of the flow are explained and linked to the turbines power output. Validation of wake profiles patterns at multiple locations downstream is also performed at each λ. The present work aims to evaluate the potential of the numerical methods in reproducing wind tunnel experimental results such that the method can be applied to full-scale turbines operating under realistic conditions in which observation data is scarce or lacking.

In this paper, we propose a pseudo-cepstral representation of line spectrum pair(LSP) frequencies and evaluate speech recognition performance with cepstral lift using the pseudo-cepstrum. The pseudo-cepstrum corresponding to LSP frequencies is derived by approxmating the relationship between LPC-cepstrum and LSP frequencies. Three cepstral liftering procedures are applied to the pseudo-cepstrum to improve the performance of speech recognition. They are the root-power-sums ligter, the general exponential lifter, and the bandpass lifter. Then, the liftered psedudo-cepstra are warped into a mel-frequency scale to obtain feature vectors for speech recognition. Among the three lifters, the general exponential lifter results in the best performance on speech recognition. When we use the proposed pseudo-cepstra feature vectors for recognizing noisy speech, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement of about 5~10dB LSP is obtained.

In order to prevent the environmental pollution, the dryers are commonly used to treat sludge that one of sewages is polluting the quality of water. Generally, the drying method is various as to the property of material and use. Rotary dryer is a good apparatus to treat them. The rotary dryer is the way that is to make substance transmission and heating using hot air between sludge particles and heated gas. In this paper, we performed a numerical analysis of the inner air flow of the 3-pass rotary dryer through the changing rotational speed from 3rpm to 10rpm. In this result, we found that 3rpm is effective to dry material in terms of heat transfer because large scale velocity fluctuation is occurred inside the first and second drum. Also we confirmed that 5rpm and 8rpm showed up uniform flow at the center area of the first drum.

AIN thin films are deposited on Si (100) and $SiO_2$/Si substrates by using an RF magnetron sputtering method and by changing the conditions of deposition variables, such as RF power, $N_2$/Ar flow ratio, and substrate temperature ($T_sub$). For all the deposited AIN films, XRD Peak patterns are monitored to examine the effect of deposition condition on the crystal orientation. Highly (002)-oriented AIN films are obtained at following nominal deposition conditions; RF Power : 350W, $N_2$/Ar ratio = 10/20, T$_{sub}$ : $250^{\circ}C$, and working pressure = 5mTorr, respectively. AIN-based SAW devices are fabricated using a lift-off method by varying the thickness of AIN layer. Insertion losses and side-lobe rejection levels of fabricated SAW devices are extracted from their frequency response characteristics, which are also compared in terms of AIN thickness and substrate. Relationships between the film properties of AIN films and the frequency responses of SAW devices are discussed. It is concluded from the experimental results that the (002)-preferred orientation as well as the surface roughness of AIN film may play a crucial role of determining the device performances of AIN-SAW devices.s.

For the reliability evaluation of the track drive unit(TDU), firstly, we analyzed the major failure modes through FMEA(failure mode & effects analysis), FTA(failure tree analysis), and 2-stage QFD(quality function deployment), and then quantitatively determined the priority order of test items. The Minitab analysis was also performed for prediction of life distribution and parameters of TDU by use of field failure data collected from 430 excavators for two years. In addition, we converted the fluctuation load in field conditions into the equivalent load, and for evaluation of the accelerated lift by the cumulative fatigues, the equivalent load is again divided into the fluctuation load by reference of test time. And then, by use of the test method in this paper, the acceleration factor(AF) of needle bearing inside planetary gear which is the most weakly designed part of TDU is achieved as 5.3. This paper presents the quantitative selection method of test items for reliability evaluation, the determination method of the accelerated life test time, and the method of non-failure test time based on a few of samples. And, we proved the propriety of the proposed methods by experiments using a TDU for a 30 ton excavator.

Platinum-Cobalt alloy thin films were deposited on Al$_2$O$_3$ substrate by r.f. cosputtering for RTD temperature sensors. We made Pt-Co alloy resistance patterns on the Al$_2$O$_3$ substrate by lift-off method and investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions (the input power, working vacuum, annealing temperature, thickness of thin films) and also after annealing these films. At input power of Pt : 4.4 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, Co : 6.91 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, working vacuum on and annealing conditions of 1000 $^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, the resistivity and the sheet resistive thin films were 15 ${\mu}$$\Omega$$.$cm and 0.5 $\Omega$/$\square$, respectively. The TCR value of Pt-Co a films was measured with various thickness of thin films and annealing temperature. T TCR value is gained under condition 3000${\AA}$ of thin films thickness and 1000$^{\circ}C$ of temperature. These results indicate that Pt-Co alloy thin films have potentiality for the wide temperature ranges.

This paper summarizes the experimentally-measured performance of small-scale, vertical-axis wind turbine for the purpose of improving the aerodynamic efficiency and its controllability. The turbine is designed to have a Savonius-Type rotor with an inlet guide-vane and an side guide-vane so that it achieves a higher efficiency than any lift- or drag-based turbines. The main design factors for this high-efficient, vertical wind turbine are the number of blades (Z), and the aspect ratio of Height/Diameter (H/D) among many. The basic model has the diameter of 580mm, the height of 464mm, and the blade number of 10. The maximum power coefficient of 0.50 was experimentally measured for the above-mentioned specifications. The inlet-guide vane ensures the maximum efficiency when the angle of attack to the rotor blade lies between $15^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$. This experimental results for the vertical-axis wind turbine can be applied to the preliminary design of turbine output curve based on the wind characteristics at the proposed site by controlling its aerodynamic performance given as a priori.
