Recently, It is gradually raised necessity that thickness of thin film is measured accuracy and managed in industrial circles and medical world. Ultrasonic Signal processing method is likely to become a very powerful method for NDE method of detection of microdefects and thickness measurement of thin film below the limit of Ultrasonic distance resolution in the opaque materials, provides useful information that cannot be obtained by a conventional measuring system. In the present research, considering a thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution sandwiched between three substances as acoustical analysis model, demonstrated the usefulness of ultrasonic Signal processing technique using information of ultrasonic frequency for NDE of measurements of thin film thickness, sound velocity, and step height, regardless of interference phenomenon. Numeral information was deduced and quantified effective information from the image. Also, pattern recognition of a defected input image was performed by neural network algorithm. Input pattern of various numeral was composed combinationally, and then, it was studied by neural network. Furthermore, possibility of pattern recognition was confirmed on artifical defected input data formed by simulation. Finally, application on unknown input pattern was also examined.

This study is on the application the image processing algorithm for inspection of the aluminium mill strip surface defect. The image of surface defect data was obtained using the CCD camera with the digital signal board. The edge was found from the difference of pixel intensity between the normal image and defect image. Two step were taken to find the edge in the image processing algorithm. First, noise was removed by using the median filter in the image. Second, the edge was sharpened in detail by using the sharpening convolution filter in the image. Canny algorithm was used to defect the exact edge. The defect section was separated from the original image is to find the coordination point p1 and p2 which include the defect image

In design step of an active vibration control system, the stability analysis is required for obtaining a stable control region so that the system is protected from it violent natural vibration. This paper describes the procedure of stability simulation for the active magnetic bearing-main spindle of a machine tool. The characteristic equation of the overall system is derived by assembling the dynamic equation of a flexible shaft and the transfer functions of feedback components. And the stable region is obtained by calculating the eigenvalues of the characteristic equation. The simulated control stable region is good agreement by comparing the experiment. Therefore the stable control gain is selected in this paper.

Thermal distortion is a critical issue in machine tools, especially in high speed machining. This is the reason why recent machine tools have thermal compensation function. To compensate thermal distortion, it is necessary to make a model that has some relationship between temperature and deformation. Various experimental methods ye widely been used in thermal test: constant spindle speed, unit step speed increase, random spindle speed, etc. This paper focuses on which type of spindle operation condition is good for thermal experiment. Also, experimental data is modeled using multiple linear regression models and compared each other to select a method. Consequently, it turned out at e condition of 75％ constant of maximum spindle speed is good enough to generate temperature and distortion data.

This paper addresses the method for figuring out the hole diameter on the mask containing the information about machining depth. With this mask e micro machining is carried out with a simple 2D movement of the mask. Based on e suggested method excimer laser ablation processes are modeled and determination of the optimal laser ablation conditions such as hole diameter, step size, mask movement velocity, etc. is completed. The excimer laser ablation simulation for creating 3D micro lens is carried out by employing determined ablation conditions to prove verification of the method. The results from simulation illustrated the average error of 140nm and e relative error of 2％.

The spindle is the main component in machine tools. The static and dynamic stiffness of the spindle directly affect the machining productivity and surface integrity of the workpiece. The static and dynamic stiffness of the spindle depend on the shaft size, bearing arrangement, bearing span length, and so on. Therefore, the selection of shaft size and bearing span length are important to improve the spindle stiffness. This paper presents the determination of shaft size and bearing span length in spindle design step. In order to select the optimal bearing and built-in motor locations with constraint conditions, the extreme vertices design was applied. The results show that extreme vertices design is usable for spindle design with design constraints.

In Kimchi (a salt-pickled and fermented food) manufacturing industry, the process of brining and rinsing the raw vegetable produces a vast amount of wastewater of high salinity. Instead of expensive and low-efficient conventional treatment system, brining wastewater reuse system was developed using hybrid chemical precipitation/microfiltration. In the microfiltration of chemically treated brining wastewater, comparison of flux, backwashing frequency and energy consumption was made between dead-end and crossflow filtration mode. The optimum location of neutralization step in this system was also discussed in connection with the microfiltration performance. The quality test of Kimchi prepared by the reuse system confirmed the new approach was successful in terms of water/raw material(salt) saving and wastewater reduction.

The laser-assisted seeding (LAS) process has potential to replace conventional electroless copper plating in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing since it combines the steps of laser drilling and plating into one single process. In the LAS process, the single extra LAS step can metallize a microvia. Thus, the process steps can be greatly reduced and the productivity enhanced, but also the high aspect ratio microvias can be metallized. The objectives of this paper are to study the LAS copper thickness within PCB microvias and the thermal reliability of the microvias produced by this process. It was found that results were satisfactory in both the reliability test and also the LAS copper thickness which both comply with IPC standard, the copper thickness produced by the LAS process is sufficient for subsequent electro-plating process. The reliability of the microvias produced by LAS process is acceptable which are free from any voids, corner cracks, and distortion in the plated copper.

Cast-forging process has a lot of advantages in terms of saving materials along with enhancement of mechanical properties. Therefore, this process has been taken as one of candidate process to manufacturing automotive suspension parts. Since most of cast-forging parts are made with using Al-Si alloys of high castability, the mechanical properties largely depends on the primary ${\alpha}$ and eutectic Si particles. During hot forging step these microstructural features evolve with strain increment. In the present study, the mechanical property evolution was investigated in terms of microstructual evolution with strain. Specially, fracture behavior of A356 alloy was studied to find out how to improve the mechanical properties.

A hybrid fuzzy PID controller for a pneumatic chamber is proposed in this paper. First, a mathematical model of a pneumatic pressure servocontrol system was developed where separate implementations of a PID controller and a fuzzy controller were made. The experimental results using a step input signal revealed that the PID controller accurately controlled the steady-state pressure but did not robustly handle parameter variations in the system while the fuzzy controller provided a fast rise time and low overshoot of the pressure in the system. In order to attain the advantages of both the fuzzy and PID controllers, a hybrid control scheme was developed. The experimental results show that the hybrid fuzzy PID controller proposed in this study does indeed possess the advantages of both PID and fuzzy controllers. Hence, it can be concluded that the hybrid fuzzy PID controller is suited for high-precision control of pressure in a pneumatic chamber.
