This study has been carried out to investigate the precipitation behavior of ${\chi}$ phase and effect of ${\chi}$ phase precipitation on the impact toughness of 25%Cr-7%Ni-4%Mo super duplex stainless steel. It was proved that the ${\chi}$ phase was a intermetallic compound, which represented the higher chromium and molybdenum concentration than the matrix phases, and also showed the higher molybdenum concentration than the ${\sigma}$ phase. The ${\chi}$ phase was precipitated at the interface between ferrite and austenite or inside the ferrite matrix in the early stage of aging. The number of ${\chi}$ phase precipitates increased with increasing aging time, however, after showing the maximum value, the number was decreased due to the gradual transformation of ${\chi}$ phase into ${\sigma}$-phase. Aging ferrite phase was decomposed by the $r^2$ phase and ${\sigma}$-phase. Impact toughness rapidly decreased with time in the initial stage of aging at ${\chi}$ phase start to precipitate. Thus, the impact toughness was greatly influence for the precipitation of ${\chi}$ phase.

There are big differences in six sigma applications between manufacturing processes and transactional processes. This paper analyzes the differences between two areas by examining 18 six sigma case studies in Korean companies. To characterize six sigma cases, a step-by-step checklist is developed based on 12-step DMAIC methodology proposed by US six sigma academy. On the basis of those characterized data, the differences between two areas are analyzed. The most significant differences is that statistical tools are widely used in manufacturing processes, but qualitative tools are used in transactional processes during improvement phase.

This study was carried out to investigate the precipitation behavior of the ${\chi}$ phase and the impact toughness of 25%Cr-7%Ni-2%Mo-4%W super duplex stainless steel. The ${\chi}$ phase was precipitated in the early stage of aging, and with the increasing aging time. However, after reaching a maximum value, the number decreased as a result of the gradual transformation of the ${\chi}$ phase into the ${\sigma}$-phase. It was proved that the ${\chi}$ phase was an intermetallic compound, which represented a lower nickel concentration, higher chromium and molybdenum concentrations, and very higher tungsten concentration compared to the matrix phases. It also showed higher molybdenum and tungsten concentrations than the ${\sigma}$ phase. The decomposition of the ferrite phase into the ${\gamma}_2$ and ${\sigma}$ phases was retarded by W substitution for Mo. Thus, the number of ${\chi}$ phases increased. The impact value was decreased by the substitution of W for Mo. The impact toughness rapidly decreased with time when the ${\chi}$ phase began to precipitate in the initial stage of aging. The impact toughness was, therefore, greatly influenced for the precipitation of the ${\chi}$ phase.

This paper describes a spread-spectrum clock generation method by utilizing a ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ digital PLL (DPLL) which is solely based on binary phase detection and does not require a linear time-to-digital converter (TDC) or other linear digital-to-time converter (DTC) circuitry. A 1-bit high-order ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ modulator and a hybrid finite-impulse response (FIR) filter are employed to mitigate the phase-folding problem caused by the nonlinearity of the bang-bang phase detector (BBPD). The ${\Delta}{\Sigma}$ DPLL employs a two-point modulation technique to further enhance linearity at the turning point of a triangular modulation profile. We also show that the two-point modulation is useful for the BBPLL to improve the spread-spectrum performance by suppressing the frequency deviation at the input of the BBPD, thus reducing the peak phase deviation. Based on the proposed architecture, a 3.2 GHz spread-spectrum clock generator (SSCG) is implemented in 65 nm CMOS. Experimental results show that the proposed SSCG achieves peak power reductions of 18.5 dB and 11 dB with 10 kHz and 100 kHz resolution bandwidths respectively, consuming 6.34 mW from a 1 V supply.

Super duplex stainless steel has along life in severe environments because of its strength and corrosion resistance. If 0.2$\sim$0.3% Nitrogen in aninterstitial solid solution is added, the austenite structure is reinforced. This improves the solid solution hardening and the anticorrosionability. In this study, the mechanical properties and structures of the super duplex stainless steel with the 0.2% N additive were investigated to determine the effect of various volume fractions on the austenite phase. The various volume fractions and distributions of the austenite structure in the applied test specimens were obtained by changing the heat treatment temperature and cycle. The characteristics by amounts of the $\sigma$ phase obtained from the precipitation heat treatment were alsoinvestigated. From the results, when the austenite volume fraction increases, the tensile strength decreases and elongation increases. And the $\sigma$ phase was rapidly increased by increasing the heat treatment time. When the volume fraction of the $\sigma$ phase increased, tensile strength increased.

This paper presents a 1.9-GHz digital ${{\Delta}{\Sigma}}$ fractional-N PLL with a finite impulse response (FIR) filter embedded for noise suppression. The proposed digital implementation of FIR provides a simple method of increasing the number of taps without complicated calculation for gain matching. This work demonstrates 32 tap FIR filtering for the first time and successfully filtered the in-band phase noise generated from delta-sigma modulator (DSM). Design considerations are also addressed to find the optimum number of taps when the resolution of time-to-digital converter (TDC) is given. The PLL, fabricated in $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS, achieves a well-regulated in-band phase noise of less than -100 dBc/Hz for the entire range inside the bandwidth of 3 MHz. Compared with the conventional dual-modulus division, the proposed PLL shows an overall noise suppression of about 15dB both at in-band and out-of-band region.

Relations between fitted parameters for photoionization spectra both below and above the thresholds in the systems involving 3 channels are obtained using phase-shifted version of the multichannel quantum-defect theory. Analytical continuation of the photoionization cross sections in the form of ${\langle}{\sigma}_{below}{\rangle}_{v_{below}}={\sigma}_{above}$ examined using several representations.

This paper presents a 18-mW, 2.5-㎓ fractional-N frequency synthesizer with l-bit $4^{th}$-order interpolative delta-sigma ($\Delta{\;}$\sum$)modulator to suppress fractional spurious tones while reducing in-band phase noise. A fractional-N frequency synthesizer with a quadruple prescaler has been designed and implemented in a $0.5-\mu\textrm{m}$ 15-GHz $f_t$ BiCMOS. Synthesizing 2.1 GHzwith less than 200 Hz resolution, it exhibits an in-band phase noise of less than -85 dBc/Hz at 1 KHz offset frequency with a reference spur of -85 dBc and no fractional spurs. The synthesizer also shows phase noise of -139 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 1.2 MHz from a 2.1GHz center frequency.

Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum은 토양과 물에서 오랫동안 생존하고, 가지과 작물에 심각한 풋마름병을 일으키는 식물병원세균이다. Simga S는 세균의 스트레스 환경에서 반응 또는 정지기 동안 유전자 발현을 조절하는 RNA 중합효소 복합체의 일부인 단백질이다. 본 연구는 스트레스 조건에서 R.pseudosolanacearum의 sigma S의 역할을 조사하기 위해서, R.pseudosolanacearum의 GMI1000 균주의 sigma S를 암호화하는 rpoS 유전자 변이체를 준비하여 야생형 균주와 세균의 특징을 비교하였다. 아울러 rpoS 유전자 역할은 원래 유전자를 변이체에 도입하여 rpoS 유전자 표현형 회복을 확인하였다. 야생형 균주와 rpoS 결여 변이체는 생장 속도, 외피다당류 생산, 식물체에서 병원성, 식물 세포벽 분해 효소 활성에서 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 야생형 균주는 영양분결핍 조건에서 변이체보다 더 민감하게 반응하였고 과산화수소가 첨가된 조건에서 변이체보다 덜 민감하게 반응하였다. 흥미롭게도 영양분결핍 조건에서 rpoS 결여 변이체에서는 장기간 생균수를 유지하지만, 같은 조건에서 야생형 균주 생균수는 빠르게 감소하였다. 그리고 두 균주 배양액 pH를 측정한 결과, 야생형 균주와 변이체 간에 상당한 차이가 나타났다. 야생형 균주는 생장하면서 빠르게 배지의 pH가 감소하여 산성화되었다. 그러므로 야생형 균주의 빠른 사멸은 배지가 산성화되면서 정지기 상태 세균의 산성 pH에 대한 민감도 때문일 것이다. Biolog 분석으로 rpoS 변이체는 acetic acid, D-alanine, D-trehalose, L-histidine을 이용하지 못함을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 R. pseudosolanacearum 세균의 sigma S가 영양분결핍 조건에서 정지기 동안 유기산 생산 또는 이용을 조절하며 정지기 세포사멸도 조절하는 것을 보여준다.
