An instrument is described that can obtain directly the whole capacitance vs. potential curve and accurately even in dilute solutions using positive feedback for IR correction. Applying a small (7∼10 mV) triangular signal, controlled rectification of the resulting square wave using sample-and-hold circuit allows one to plot the corrected double layer capacitance over a wide potential range. Several illustrations involving the improved performance characteristics of its applicability are given and its limitations discussed.

In this paper, a new type of pi+ezoelectric stepping motor is designed, manufactured and tested. This motor is composed of piezoelectric torsional actuator and a pair of one-way clutch bearings. The torsional actuator consists of 16-polygonal tube of piezoceramic that can produce an angular displacement associated with shear mode. One-way clutch bearing converts oscillation of torsional actuator into a continuous stepping rotation. The proposed stepping motor does not require any conversion mechanism for stepping motion like any other motors. In the design process, the shear resonance mode of piezoelectric actuator is analyzed by using a commercial finite element analysis program, and the performance of the fabricated torsional actuator is measured. $0.124^{\circ}$ of maximum angular displacement is measured in square wave excitation on the actuator only. The stepping motor is manufactured by assembling a pair of one-way clutch bearings and the torsional actuator. The maximum rotation speed of 72rpm and the blocking torque of 3.136 mNm are measured at 3540 Hz and 100V/mm. Once the proposed piezoelectric stepping motor is miniaturized, it can be used for many compact and precise moving applications.

Laser surface hardening technologies have been used to improve characteristics of wear and to enhance the fatigue resistance for automotive parts. The objective of this research work is to investigate the influence of the process parameters, such as power of laser and defocused spot position, on the characteristics of laser heat treatment for the case of SM45C medium carbon steel. CW Nd:YAG laser is selected as the heat source. The optical lens with the elliptical profile is designed to obtain a wide heat treatment area with a uniform hardness. From the results of the experiments, it has been shown that the maximum hardness is approximatly 780 Hv when the power and the travel speed of laser are 1,095 W and 0.6 m/min, respectively. In addition, the hardening width using the elliptical lens was three time larger than that using the defocusing of laser beam.

Underwater acoustics that is the study of the phenomenon of underwater wave propagation and its interaction with boundaries, has mainly been applied to the fields of underwater communication, target detection, marine resources, marine environment, and underwater sound sources. Based on the scientific and engineering understanding of acoustic signals/data, recent studies combining traditional and data-driven machine learning methods have shown continuous progress. Machine learning, represented by deep learning, has shown unprecedented success in a variety of fields, owing to big data, graphical processor unit computing, and advances in algorithms. Although machine learning has not yet been implemented in every single field of underwater acoustics, it will be used more actively in the future in line with the ongoing development and overwhelming achievements of this method. To understand the research trends of machine learning applications in underwater acoustics, the general theoretical background of several related machine learning techniques is introduced in this paper.

This paper presents the design of a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FMCW) radar altimeter with wide altitude range and low measurement errors. Wide altitude range is achieved by employing the optic delay in the transmitting path to reduce the dynamic range of measuring altitude. Transmitting power and receiver gain are also controlled to have the dynamic range of the received power be reduced. In addition, low measurement errors are obtained by improving the sweep linearity using the Direct Digital Synthesizer(DDS) and minimizing the phase noise employing the reference clock(Ref_CLK) as the offset frequency of the Phase Locked Loop(PLL).

The objective of this research work is to investigate the influence of process parameters, such as power of laser, travel speed of laser and material thickness, on roughness and striation of the cut surface for the case of cutting of CSP 1N sheet using high power Nd:YAG laser with continuous wave(CW). In order to find the practical cutting region and the relationship between process parameters on the roughness and the striation, several laser cutting experiments are carried out. From the results of experiments, the allowable cutting region and an optimal cutting speed for each cutting condition have been obtained to improve the quality of the cut surface. In addition, it has been shown that the surface roughness is related to the number of striation and depth of valley of the cut surface.

전자소자 산업의 미세화 및 대형화에 따라 플라즈마 밀도, 전위, 온도, 균일도 등 과 같은 플라즈마 특성을 제어하는 것은 차세대 플라즈마 장치 개발에 있어 매우 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 특히, 급격한 소자의 미세화에 따라 플라즈마 공정을 통해 발생할 수 있는 damage는 큰 issue가 되어 왔고, 많은 연구자들은 이를 해결하기 위해서 다각적인 노력을 진행해 왔다. 그중 높은 전자 온도는 높은 전자 에너지에 의해 공정 중 소자를 손상 시키는 주된 원인이라고 보고되고 있으며, 이에 대한 제어기술은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 두 개의 내/외측으로 나뉘어진 나선형 모양의 ICP 안테나를 이용 하여 연구를 진행하였다. 내측의 안테나에는 2 MHz를 연결 하였으며, 외측의 안테나에는 13.56 MHz를 연결 하였으며, 내/외측 안테나에 각각 pulse mode로 입력전력을 인가해 줌으로써 플라즈마의 특성을 관찰하였다. Pulse / CW (Continuous Wave) mode에 있어서 전자온도의 측정을 위해 emissive probe 를 이용하여 plasma potential과 floating potential을 측정하였으며, 이를 통하여 전자온도를 계산하여 구할 수 있었다. Duty ratio 및 pulsing frequency의 변화에 따른 전자온도의 변화를 확인 할 수 있었으며, 그에 따른 플라즈마 균일도를 ion saturation current를 측정함으로써 관찰할 수 있었다. 실제 식각 공정에 있어서 Pulsing 조건에 따른 식각 특성을 관찰하기 위해, SiO2, ACL (Amorphous Carbon Layer)에 대해 식각을 진행하였으며, 식각 메커니즘 분석을 위해 이온에너지 분포의 변화를 PSM (Plasma Sampling Mass-spectroscopy)을 이용하여 측정하였다.

We compared wound healing with $CO_2$ laser incision and scalpel incision by measuring the extent of bleeding, the ease of incision, time, degrees of adhesion and histological observation in pig's stomach. Eight healthy pigs were used. Two symmetrical incisions were made in ventral aspect of the stomach between the greater curvature and lesser curvature were made with scalpel and 2 mm spot diameter $CO_2$ laser (8W, continuous wave) in eight pigs. And then each wound was closed with absorbable suture in a two-layer inverting seromuscular pattern. At 7 and 14 days after initial wounding, each wound was taken for histological observation. On surgery, the extent of bleeding, the ease of incision and incision time showed significant differences between the two groups. The $CO_2$ laser provided better hemostasis (p < 0.01) and smaller postoperative adhesion compared with the scalpel. However, the scalpel produced faster speed of incision and was easier to handle than the $CO_2$ laser group (p < 0.01). There was no considerable difference between the two groups in histological observation.
