Copper phthalocyanine(CuPc) thick film solar cells were fabgricated byspin coating and their photovoltaic behavior was studied. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) was used for the binder. Aluminum and indium were employed as electrode metals to form Schottky contact to CuPc layer. The cells showed rectifying J-V characteristics in the dark and photovoltaic effect associated with white light irradiation. The photovoltaic performance of the cells strongly depended on contact metals, in which the formation of oxide layer between binder layer and electrode interface affected the solar cell. Influnce of the CuPc layer thickness, CuPc/PVdF ratio on the photovoltaic performance of the cells were also examined.

In the high precision robot systems, the most popular tasks may be handling of micro-scale objects on a surface such as a micromanipulation robot system. In handling of micro-scale objects, the stiction effect becomes a fundamental issue since the micro-contact mechanics dominates the micromanipulation robot system. In the paper, a theoretical non-stick condition derived from the micro-contact mechanics is carried out for the propose of micro-scale object manipulation. To verify the non-stick condition, a micro-manipulation robot system equipped with a high precision stage system and a microscope system is developed. Experimental results show that the proposed non-stick condition guarantees successful micro-scale object manipulation.

This paper presents a method for tolerance design using the Taguchi Method(TM) and general purpose mechanism analysis program. Also the method is tolerance design with repect to performance improvement of a mechamism. To use the orthogonal array, mathematical model of a mechanism is established and experiments are carried out by the general purpose mechanism analysis program. The contact model is used to consider a clearance effect. This method is applied to the VTR Deck mechanism. This method can be used in tolerance design of general mechanisms.

Purpose : The purpose is to assess the effects of muscle activity of normal person with contact laterally wedged insoles with strapping of varying elevations of 9, 15, 21mm. Methods : The subjects were adult males and women who had not experienced any knee injury. They were asked to performed from isometric contraction exerciese in four postures using lateral wedged. The normalized EMG activity levels(%MVC) of the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, tibialis anterior, soleus for the four postures of the lower extremities were compared using one way repeted measures ANOVA. Results : Comparison of EMG amplitudes across all postures revealed no significant differences among all muscles(P>0.05). Conclusion : Further studies of the effect of wedged insole angle on knee varus torque in patients with medial-lateral knee osteoarthritis are needed.

In this paper, film thickness and temperature distribution are measured in EHL point contact at high slip ratios. Infrared temperature mapping with two band pass fillers. proposed by Ausherman (1976). is used to measure temperature distribution. And the optical interferornetric method with two filters (red and green filters) is used to measure film thickness. Result of experiment showed that temperature rising at film and ball surface occurred very dramatically in Dimple zone. As slip velocity, slip ratio and load increased, size of Dimple and temperature rising became more large In addition, Position and shape of Dimple we changed by slip ratios, and increasing of Dimple size decreased traction coefficient. In short, it is appointed that the Dimple phenomenon be developed by the effect of viscosity wedge.

In this study, the influence of carbon equivalents on friction welds of similar steels was investigated. Four types of steels with 15mm diameter tested in the wide range of carbon equivalents from 0.3 to 1.1 Main experimental results are summarized as follows : (1) Under the constant burn-off length, the friction time becomes longer with the increasing carbon equivalent, but the upset length shows no consistent tendencies. (2) Due to the recrystallization in the contact area, the maximum hardness occurs some away from the contact surface. And it increases almost linearly with the increasing carbon equivalent. (3) Even a steel with 1.1 C.E. can be friction welded to make defect-free welds. (4) With the increasing carbon equivalent, the bend angle and charpy impact value decrease very rapidly in the range from 0.3 C. E., but remain nearly unchanged for C. E. higher than 0.6. (5) Heat treatment of the base metals before welding has very little influence on the mechanical properties of welds. On the other hand, normalizing of the welds improves the bend angle and charpy impact value, but its effect becomes almost negligible, when the carbon equivalents are higher than 0.6.

In this paper, a mechanical probe for CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) with a three-axis force-sensing unit is proposed, which is capable of measuring an actual contact position without the lobbing effect and the pre-travel error. The force-sensing unit detects the external force, which is act on the stylus of CMM during the measuring process. Thus, the contact point of the stylus of CMM can be estimated ken the direction of measured force components. Based on the structural analysis of the proposed CMM probe, the transformation matrix is derived and calibrated so that it shows linear relationships between the estimated force components from the output voltages and the real input forces. And, the relationships are verified through the computer simulation. The results show that the proposed mechanical probe is very useful fur detecting the contacting force components on measuring process of CMM.

We fabricated a-IGZO TFT with AZO/Ag/AZO transparent multilayer source/drain contacts by rf magnetron sputtering. Enhanced electrical device performance of a-IGZO TFT with AZO/Ag/AZO multilayer S/D electrodes (W/L = = 400/50 mm) was achieved with a subs-threshold swing of 3.78 V/dec, a minimum off-current of 10-12 A, a threshold voltage of 1.80 V, a field effect mobility of 10.86 cm2/Vs, and an on/off ration of 9x109. It demonstrated the potential application of the AZO/Ag/AZO film as a promising S/D contact material for the fabrication of the high performance TFTs.

The surface potential variations are measured, according to the enhanced measuring speed and voltage sensitivity, using an active device, such as a field effect transistor $(FET)^{1-3}$. In this study, the surface potential was mapped in the patterned $SiO_2$ medium at room temperature. An improved FET-tip cantilever, which has a source, a drain, and an n- channel, was used in this study. The potential images were analyzed both in the contact mode and the non-contact mode, using only a pre-amplifier system instead of a lock-in the amplifier.

The differences between floating and grounded body effects in polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (polysilicon TFTs) are investigated by making a body contact. The floating body effects such as kink effect, subthreshold slope change, and body current characteristics are explained and modeled by impact ionization, which causes source body turn on, and activates the parasitic bipolar junction transistors (BJTs). These effects become crucial for channel lengths of 4㎛ or shorter. Our data show that making a body contact reduces kink effects significantly and identifies impact ionization mechanism in polysilicon TFTs.
