This paper reports on the development of micro power system under way at Seoul National University. The interdisciplinary tin consists of members with various backgrounds of mechanics and materials. The need for micro power systems is explained, and a turbine under development is described. Design, and fabrication are introduced, and technical challenges in each phase are described. Furthermore, the interaction between the available fabrication methods and design is explained. Design involves use of commercially available codes to analyze flow fields, and fabrication takes advantage of the silicon wafer etching processes used to manufacture semiconductor devices.

Items and methods of synchronous type AC servo motor's performance evaluation were researched. Through the research, nine items of performance evaluations were selected from study of IEC standards and domestic technical reports. Using the proposed evaluation items and methods, performance evaluations were carried out into two domestic products and one foreign product for analysis of what results means. The results show that the proposed items of performance evaluations are reasonable and proper for performance evaluations of AC servo motors.

In today's engineering world, any product development activity requires the expertise and the interaction of many different engineering. Therefore the various activities in a product development architecture are highly distributed and interdependent. The interdependence may be due to sharing of databases and transfer of information between various activities. This will require an integrated product model. That can support distributed design such that participants from different backgrounds collaborate towards one common goal. This paper presents the architecture of the product modeling system for the integration of CAD and CAE. It then reports on the study of STEP 10303 and UG open API focused on the integration of different technical environments.

Since customer's demand is various and product life cycle is getting shorter, many manufacturing company is trying to reduce product development time and cost. For that reason they make an effort to design product on collaborative environment. The various activities in a product development are highly distributed. This distributed nature of the activities implies that teams will be working indifferent place and technical environments. Thus at a given time, teams might work on he same product from different perspectives. This will require efficient communication amongst the various individuals and the various softwaretools that are used by them. Therefore, there is a need for a computerized frame work that can support distributed design such that participants from different backgrounds collaborate towards one common goal. This paper presents the architecture of a collaborative design system. It then reports on the study of computerized frame work focused on collaboration for product development.

In the mechanical clutches, the pressure plate is one of the important parts for transferring the power and reducing the vibration. Instead of gray and ductile irons, CGI(Compacted Graphite Cast Iron) is concerned to be the replacement recently. A thermo-mechanical coupled analysis was performed to investigate the behavior of the pressure plate for manual clutches. Thermal and mechanical properties of three kinds of cast irons were obtained from the mechanical experiments and referred other technical reports. The results of FEM analysis, were well match with the experimental ones. In this designated FEM method, temperature distribution, stress distribution and thermal deformation were successfully gained and these results will help to design the pressure plate which was made by cast irons including CGI.

The widespread presence of large-scale genomic variations, termed copy number variation (CNVs), has been recently recognized in phenotypically normal individuals. Judging by the growing number of reports on CNVs, it is now evident that these variants contribute significantly to genetic diversity in the human genome. Like single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), CNVs are expected to serve as potential biomarkers for disease susceptibility or drug responses. However, the technical and practical concerns still remain to be tackled. In this review, we examine the current status of CNV DBs and research, including the ongoing efforts of CNV screening in the human genome. We also discuss the characteristics of platforms that are available at the moment and suggest the potential of CNVs in clinical research and application.

Solder/electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) joint sample which is comprised of dissimilar materials with different mechanical properties has limited the level of success in preparing thin samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This short technical note reports the operation parameters for ultramicrotomy of solder joint sample and TEM analysis results. The solder joint sample was successfully sliced to 50~70 nm thick lamellae at slicing speed of 0.8~1.2 mm/s using a boat-type $45^{\circ}$ diamond knife. Ultramicrotomy can be applied as a routine sample preparation technique for TEM analysis of solder joints.

This paper presents schematic process of identifying the principal cause to make the vibration problem of rotating circular saws. In the tandem pencil slat saw lines, feeding of cedar blocks is often stopped because excessive motro current is required in a saw motor. These events are called "kick-offs" in technical reports. Research on saw behavior at kick-offs is required to understand are reduce the frequency and severity of kick-offs events. This research aims at finding out the principal cause of kick-offs, and evloving design improvements for high cutting performance with fewer and less severe kick-offs. Measurements of critical speed, cutting force, cutting temeprature and dynamic displacements are carried out to observe the instability mechanism and also to obtain saw design parameters for the numerical analyses. And the numerical analyses involving FEM and multiple scale method are utilized to show the possibility of the principal cause.pal cause.

This article proposes to examine how the study of failure differs from other technical subjects, and how to turn failure experiences to one's advantage. The authors surveyed the properties of failures in PBL (Project Based Learning) and also examined students' interest and understanding of failure, after introducing failure examples. To investigate how students communicate failure experiences to third parties, reports of the failure experience in PBL were evaluated. From above mentioned surveys, we get the following results. The typical causes of failure in educational institutions are lack of skill in manufacturing and inadequate planning, which conversely are minor causes of failure in the industry. A knowledge database on failure, employed commonly in industry, is not effective in PBL, because projects in educational institutes are usually changed every year. Case studies in failure can be approached from many points of view including causes, processes, effects and safety measures. While teachers should emphasize the notable points in the failure examples in introducing examples of specific topics in machine design, teachers should explain the multiple aspects in the failure examples to educate students about the complexity of actual accidents.

The top-down construction method is an excavation and substructure construction method by excavating earth and building slabs from the ground level to the bottom of a building. The top-down method can be categorized into several types by its process and other technical details. Some of commonly used top-down methods in Korea today are S.O.G., N.S.T.D., and S.P.S. Among these, one method is chosen depending on construction field conditions, cost, construction time and so on. This study explores several factors that may affect the selection of a top-down method. This paper reports preliminary survey results with 54 top-down construction experts and comparison results of 5 top-down construction sites.
