  • In the maskless photolithography based on the Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) by Texas Instruments Inc. (TI), the micromirror array works as a virtual photomask to write patterns directly onto Flat Panel Display (FPD) at high speed with low cost. However, it is neither simple to generate region-based patterns for the micromirror array nor easy to deliver sequences of patterns for the micromirror controller. Moreover, the quality of lithography yields the precise synchronization between generating sequence of patterns and irradiation rate off micromirrors. In this study, the region-based pattern generating system for maskless photolithography is devised. To verify salient features of devised functionalities, the prototype system is implemented and the system is evaluated with actual DMD based photolithography. The results show that proposed pattern generating method is proper and reliable. Moreover, the devised region-based pattern generating system is robust and precise enough to handle any possible user specified mandate and to achieve the quality of photolithography required by FPD manufacturer.

  • When a new counting experiment is proposed, it is crucial to predict whether the desired source signal will be detected, or how much observation time is required in order to detect the signal at a certain significance level. The concept of the a priori prediction of the detection limit in a newly proposed experiment should be distinguished from the a posteriori claim or decision whether a source signal was detected in an experiment already performed, and the calculation of statistical significance of a measured source signal. We formulate precise definitions of these concepts based on the statistical theory of hypothesis testing, and derive an approximate formula to estimate quickly the a priori detection limit of expected Poissonian source signals. A more accurate algorithm for calculating the detection limits in a counting experiment is also proposed. The formula and the proposed algorithm may be used for the estimation of required integration or observation time in proposals of new experiments. Applications include the calculation of integration time required for the detection of faint emission lines in a newly proposed spectroscopic observation, and the detection of faint sources in a new imaging observation. We apply the results to the calculation of observation time required to claim the detection of the surface thermal emission from neutron stars with two virtual instruments.

  • This paper presents a new architecture, called "Power Electronics Remote Wiring and Measurement Laboratory (PermLAB)", that translates a common gateway interface (CGI) string from a remote web user to a web server connected to a 3-dimension switching matrix board, can be used to switch on and off, and to control a cluster of instruments and components. PermLAB addresses real-time connection, switching, and data acquisition over the Internet instead of using simulated data. A software procedure uses a signature system to identify each instrument and component in a complex system. The Web-server application is developed in HTML, JavaScript and Java, and in C language for the CGI interface, which resides in a controller portion of LabVIEW. The LabVIEW software fully integrates the Web sever, LabVIEW data acquisition boards and controllers, and the 3-dimensional switching matrix board. The paper will analyze a half-wave rectifier (AC - DC converter) circuit connected over the Internet using the PermLAB. PermLAB allows students to obtain real data by real-time wiring of real circuits in the laboratory using a "virtual breadboard" on the Web. The software for the Web-based 3-dimensional system is flexible, portable, can be integrated into many laboratory applications or expanded, and easily accessible worldwide.

  • The effect of an increasing percentage of nanofiller (glass cenosphere) with Glass/Epoxy hybrid composite curved panels modeled mathematically using the multiscale concept and subsequent numerical eigenvalues of different geometrical configurations (cylindrical, spherical, elliptical, hyperboloid and flat) predicted in this research article. The numerical model of Glass/Epoxy/Cenosphere is derived using the higher-order polynomial type of kinematic theory in association with isoparametric finite element technique. The multiscale mathematical model utilized for the customized computer code for the evaluation of the frequency data. The numerical model validation and consistency verified with experimental frequency data and convergence test including the experimental elastic properties. The experimental frequencies of the multiscale nano filler-reinforced composite are recorded through the impact hammer frequency test rig including CDAQ-9178 (National Instruments) and LABVIEW virtual programming. Finally, the nano cenosphere filler percentage and different design associated geometrical parameters on the natural frequency data of hybrid composite structural configurations are illustrated through a series of numerical examples.

  • A collimator refers to an optical system that images a collimated beam at a desired point. A resolution target located at a near distance can be converted into a virtual image located at a long distance. To test the resolution for mobile cameras, a large target is placed at a long distance. If a collimator system is used, the target can be placed at a near distance. The space required for a resolution inspection can thus be drastically reduced. However, to inspect a mobile camera, the exit pupil of the collimator system and the entrance pupil of the mobile camera must match, and the stop of the collimator system must be located on the last surface. Because a collimator system cannot be symmetrical with respect to the stop, the distortion becomes extremely large, which can be corrected by combining the collimator symmetrically with respect to the object plane. A novel system was designed to inspect an optical lens on a mobile phone. After arranging the refractive power, lenses were added using the equivalent lens design method. The distortion was reduced to less than 1%. This optical system satisfies a half-field angle of 45° and an optical performance sufficient for inspection.

  • 가상 현실 시뮬레이션은 다양한 분야에서의 교육과 훈련에 활용이 되며, 특히 최근에는 의료 분야에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 교육/훈련용 시뮬레이터는 의사가 실제 수술 도구를 이용하여 실제 환자에 대해 처치를 하는 것과 같은 느낌이 나게 하는 촉감/역감 생성 및 영상/음향 출력 하드웨어와 여기에 실감 나는 영상과 촉감을 생성해주는 소프트웨어로 이루어진다. 기존의 시뮬레이터들은 수술 시에 사용되는 다양한 수술 도구들을 모사하기 위해 다양한 형태의 하드웨어들을 사용해야 하므로 복잡하고 비용이 많이 소요되는 문제가 있다. 이 논문에서는 포스 피드백 장치와 변형 가능한 햅틱 컨트롤러를 이용한 치과 수술 시뮬레이션 시스템을 제안한다. 햅틱 하드웨어들은 수술 도구와 수술 부위의 충돌 여부를 파악하고 그에 따른 저항감과 진동감을 제공한다. 특히 길이 변화, 굽힘과 같은 변형이 가능한 햅틱 컨트롤러는 여러 수술 도구들의 형태에 따라 느껴지는 다양한 감각을 표현할 수 있다. 사용자가 햅틱 피드백 장치를 조작하면 햅틱 피드백 장치의 움직임이나 버튼 클릭 등의 이벤트가 시뮬레이션 시스템에 전달되어 치과용 수술 도구와 구강 내부 모델들 사이의 상호작용이 발생하고 이에 따른 햅틱 피드백이 햅틱 피드백 장치로 전달된다. 이러한 기반 기술들을 활용하여 정교한 3차원 모델로 표현된 가상 환경에서 대표적인 치과 수술기법인 매복 사랑니 발치 수술의 현실적인 훈련 경험을 제공한다.

  • 본 가상통화 거래소의 법적 성격과 가상통화를 보유한 이용자가 가지는 권리를 중심으로 하는 법률적인 문제를 다루고자 하였다. 중앙 당국이나 중개인이 거래의 유효 여부를 결정하고 거래 기록을 관리하는 기존의 금융시장과는 달리, 가상통화 시장에서는 블록체인의 기술에 기반으로 한 탈중앙화 시스템으로 작동되고 있다. 이와 같은 가상통화의 특수성은 화폐, 금전, 금융상품 중 어느 범주에도 속한다고 보기 어렵다. 따라서 가상통화와 유사한 기능을 수행하는 수단에 적용되는 법리를 검토하여야 한다. 또한 가상통화 거래소를 통해서 이용자들은 간접적으로 가상통화 권리를 보유한다. 그러나 가상통화가 소유권의 객체 대상이 될 수 있는지 살펴보아야 한다. 본 연구결과는 아직까지 가상통화 거래소에서 거래에 대한 법적보호 장치가 미흡하다는 것을 확인하였다. 국내의 법체계는 이용자들의 권리를 뒷받침하기에는 미흡한 점이 많다. 본 연구가 기여한 바는 가상통화 거래소에서 발생한 전산장애로 피해를 본 이용자들이 증권시장과 같은 보호 장치를 필요로 하는 것을 확인하였다. 이로 인해 이용자 자신의 권리를 보호할 수 있는 법적 관리 및 시스템 규제에 대한 연구가 요청된다. 그리고 거래소에서 보관하고 있는 가상통화에 대한 정보, 이용자에 대한 개인정보 보호 의무에 대한 연구도 필요하다.

  • The projectors using liquid crystal display(LCD) have faults such as low optical efficiency, low brightness and even heat generation. To solve these problems reflective-type spatial light modulators based on MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) technology have emerged. Digital Micromirror DeviceTM(DMDTM), which was already developed by Texas Instruments Inc., and Thin-film Micromirror ArrayTM(TMATM), which has been recently developed by Daewoo Electronics Co., are the representative examples. The display using TMATM has particularly much higher optical efficiency than other projectors. But the micromirrors manufactured by semiconductor processes have inevitable distortion because of the limitations of the manufacturing processes, so that the distortions of their surfaces have great influence on the optical efficiency of the projector. This study investigated the effects of mirror flatness on the optical performance, including the optical efficiency, of the TMATM projector. That is to say, as a part of the efforts to enhance the performance of the TMATM projector, how much influence the form errors of a micromirror surface exert on the optical efficiency and the modulation of gray scale of the projector were analyzed through a pertinent modeling and simulations.
