$Li_2MnSiO_4$ was synthesized using the solid-state method under an Ar atmosphere at three different calcination temperatures (900, 950, and $1000^{\circ}C$). The optimization of the carbon coating was also carried out using various molar concentrations of adipic acid as the carbon source. The XRD pattern confirmed that the resulting $Li_2MnSiO_4$ particles exhibited an orthorhombic structure with a $Pmn2_1$ space group. Cyclic voltammetry was utilized to investigate the capacitive behavior of $Li_2MnSiO_4$ along with activated carbon (AC) in a hybrid supercapacitor with a two-electrode cell configuration. The $Li_2MnSiO_4$/AC cell exhibited a high discharge capacitance and energy density of $43.2Fg^{-1}$ and $54Whkg^{-1}$, respectively, at $1.0mAcm^{-2}$. The $Li_2MnSiO_4$/AC hybrid supercapacitor exhibited an excellent cycling stability over 1000 measured cycles with coulombic efficiency over > 99 %. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to corroborate the results that were obtained and described.

We designed and fabricated, in this paper, a quintuple band folded monopole antenna for the mobile phone handset that can be provided multiple mobile services. Antenna design was based on the compensation of series antenna capacitance with the expansion of physical antenna length by the proper folding structure. It's shown that this antenna satisfies quintuple service band as CDMA/GSM/DCS/USPCS/WCDMA, and is more cost competitive than conventional metal plate pressing method by applying on flexible PCB technology. Measured maximum gain on quintuple band were $-2.51{\sim}+1.82 dBi$, and radiation patterns were also shown nearly omnidirectional on all bands.

SLGT (Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Telescope) platform has three arms whose ends support six superconducting test masses. Therefore, any motion of the platform could cause noises on measuring the displacements of test masses which contain the effect of gravitational waves passing by. Thermal motions of the platform are the main noise source, and are related to resonant motions of the platform structure. We briefly report preliminary results of nodal analysis in finite element method performed for various platform configurations including 2-m, 30-m, 50-m and 100-m arm lengths. Platform designs giving resonant frequencies outside of the signal bandwidth (e.g., 0.1~10 Hz) have been identified.

A general purpose program NUFLEX for the analysis 3-D thermo/fluid flow and pre/post processor in complex geometry has been developed, which consists of a flow solver based on FVM and GUI based pre/post processor. The solver employs a general non-orthogonal grid system with structured grid and solves laminar and turbulent flows with standard/RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model. In addition, NUFLEX is incorporated with various physical models, such as interfacial tracking, cavitation, MHD, melting/solidification and spray models. For the purpose of evaluation of the program and testing the applicability, many actual problems are solved and compared with the available data. Comparison of the results with that by STAR-CD or FLUENT program has been also made for the same flow configuration and grid structure to test the validity of NUFLEX.

This paper presents a new approach to the design of adaptive control system using DSPs(TMS320C50) for robotic manipulators to achieve trajectorytracking angles. Digital signal processors are used in implementing real time adaptive control algorithms to provide motion for robotic manipulators. In the proposed scheme, adapation laws are derived from the improved second stability analysis based on the indirect adaptive control theory.l The proposed control scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, an suitable for implementation of real-time control. Moreover, this scheme does not requre an accurate dynamic modeling, nor values of manipulator paramenters and payload Performance of the adaptive controller is illustrated by exeperimental results for a SCARA robot.

An experimental study of impinging jet-flow structure has been carried out for a fully developed single circular jet impingement cooling on a flat plate, and the effect of the wall thickness at nozzle exit edge is investigated. Impinging jet flow structures have been measured by Laser-Doppler Velocimeter to interpret the heat transfer results presented previously by Yoon et al.(sup)(10) The peaks of heat transfer rate are observed near the nozzle edge owing to the radial acceleration of jet flow when the nozzle locates close to the impingement plate. The growth of the velocity fluctuations in the wall jet flow is induced by the vortices which originate in the jet shear layer, and consequently the radial distribution of local Nusselt numbers has a secondary peak at the certain radial position. As a wall of circular pipe nozzle becomes thicker for small nozzle-to-target distance, the entrainment can be inhibited, consequently, the acceleration of wall jet flow is reduced and the heat transfer rate decreases.

Recently, injection molding process became more popular than ever to produce large quantities of high precision products or optical products. Especially, optical disk that was made by injection mol ding process has been used for many years as a music play media or computer sub-device. The density of data in disk media has been increased continuously. But those optical disks can cause sensorial problems because of high birefringence or deformation from the residual stresses in the media. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effects of various process conditions on the final bireffingence structure in injection-molded disks for producing precision injection-molded products. In the present paper we have focussed on the effect of holding and compression pressures on the optical anisotropy remaining in the MOD by examining the gapwise distribution of birefringence and extinction angle. The effect of holding pressure was found to form the inner two bireffingence peaks. But the effect of compression pressure on the bireffingence distribution was found to make the uniform distribution near the center in the gapwise direction. Finally, the value of the birefringence near the wall decreased as the mold temperature increased.

Allenic and epoxy carotenoid, fucoxanthin (1) was isolated from the marine bacillariophycean microalga Hantzschia marina and the structure was assigned on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. Fucoxanthin was detected only from diatom among three families (green algae, diatom and blue-green algae) of the marine microalgae tested. Fucoxanthin showed free radical scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and peroxynitrite $(ONOO^-)$ with $IC_{50}$ values of $32\;{\mu}M\;and\;60\;{\mu}M$, respectively.

A two-photon induced photoreduction process suggests a possibility for fabricating complicated metallic microstructures which can be applied to 3-D micro-circuits and optical devices, etc. The process employs the photoreduction of silver ions in a metallic solution which is composed of metallic salt ($AgNO_3$) and watersoluble polymer ((poly(4-styrenesulfonique acid) 18wt. % in $H_2O$, $(C_8H_8O_3S)_n$)). In this process, the improvement of the resolution and the uniformity of fabricated metallic structures are important issues. To address these problems, continuous forming window (CFW) is obtained from a parametric study on the conditions of laser power and scanning velocity and the direct seed generation (DSG) method is proposed. Silver nano particles are uniformly generated in a metallic solution through the DSG method, which enables the decrease of a laser power to trigger the photoreduction of silver ions as well as the increase of metal contents in a metallic solution. So the two-photon induced photoreduction property of a metallic solution is improved. Through this work, precise silver patterns are fabricated with a minimum line width of 400 nm.

In this study, the composition and characteristics of poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesized by Actinobacillus sp. EL-9 are investigated. PHB produced by Actinobacillus sp. EL-9 was identified as the homopolymer of 3-hydroxy-butyric acid (PHB) by infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis. The melting tem-perature (T$_{m}$), and crystallization temperature(T$_{c}$) of PHB was 169.7$^{\circ}C$ and 69.13$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The viscosity on he basis of Brookfield viscometer was 6.01 ㎗/g. The viscosity-average molecular weight estimated by Mark-Ho-wink-Sakurada equation was 1.08$\times$10$^{6}$ ($\pm$3,000).00).
