유리섬유(GF) 강화 복합재료는 금속에 비해 경량화의 장점으로 인해 기체 부품 산업의 높은 성장률과 방산 산업의 발전으로 수요는 증가되고 있으며 제품의 형태를 다양하게 제작할 수 있는 RTM 공정으로 산업적으로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 경화제의 분자량에 의한 가교 밀도 차이에 따라 변화되는 RTM의 성형성과 복합재료의 기계적 물성 및 계면 물성의 차이를 관찰하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 동일한 에폭시를 사용하였으며 유사한 화학 구조의 경화제를 이용하였다. 시편은 RTM 공법으로 제작하였으며 기지의 특성을 알아보기 위해 점도 측정 및 기지 주입시간을 측정하였다. 유리 섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 기계적 물성을 실험하여 굴곡 강도를 측정하였으며 계면 물성을 평가하기 위해 층간전단강도(ILSS)와 계면전단강도(IFSS)를 측정하였다. RTM 공정 시 기지의 점도에 의해 섬유의 함침정도에 따라 복합재료의 섬유 무게 분율(wt %)은 변화되고 이에 따라 유리섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 기계적 물성의 차이가 확인되었다.

In this letter, we report on the development progress of a pressure control organic vapor deposition (PCOVD) technology used to design and build a large area deposition system. We also investigate the growth characteristics of a pentacene thin film by PCOVD. Using the PCOVD method, the mobility and on/off current ratio of an organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) on a plastic substrate are $0.1cm^2/Vs$ and $10^6$, respectively. The developed OTFT can be applied to a flexible display on a plastic substrate.

We present the optimization of a birefringence-enhanced-waveguide (BWG)-based polarization beam splitter (PBS) in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration and analyze the structure-dependent or polarization-dependent phase difference, using a delay-line MZI (DL-MZI). We fabricate the DL-MZI using silica-based planar lightwave circuit technology and, using the DL-MZI, demonstrate the ability to optimize a PBS by measuring the birefringence of the BWG and structure-dependent phase offset.

In this paper, we describe the fabrication of 3.5-inch QCIF active matrix organic light emitting display (AMOLED) panels driven by thin film transistors, which are produced by an ultra-low-temperature polycrystalline silicon process on plastic substrates. The over all processing scheme and technical details are discussed from the viewpoint of mechanical stability and display performance. New ideas, such as a new triple-layered metal gate structure to lower leakage current and organic layers for electrical passivation and stress reduction are highlighted. The operation of a 3.5-inch QCIF AMOLED is also demonstrated.

A component is a reusable and replaceable software module accessed through its interface. Component-based development is expected to shorten the development period, reduce maintenance costs, and improve program reusability and the interoperability of components. This paper proposes a new robot software component platform in order to support the entire process of robot software development. It consists of specifications of a component model, component authoring tool, component composer, and component execution engine. To show its feasibility, this paper presents the analysis results of the component's communication overhead, a comparison with other robotic software platforms, and applications in commercial robots.

In this paper, we propose a novel equalization on-channel repeater (OCR) with a feedback interference canceller (FIC) to relay terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting signals in single frequency networks. The proposed OCR not only has high output power by cancelling the feedback signals caused by insufficient antenna isolation through the FIC, but also shows better output signal quality than the conventional OCR by removing multipath signals existing between the main transmitter and the OCR through an equalizer. In addition, computer simulations and laboratory test results demonstrate that the proposed OCR successfully cancels feedback signals and compensates channel distortions and provides a higher quality transmitting signal with higher output power than conventional OCRs.

As the next-generation video coding standard, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has adopted advanced coding tools despite the increase in computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a selective bi-prediction method to reduce the encoding complexity of HEVC. The proposed method evaluates the statistical property of the sum of absolute differences in the motion estimation process and determines whether bi-prediction is performed. A performance comparison of the complexity reduction is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the HEVC test model version 4.0. On average, 50% of the bi-prediction time can be reduced by the proposed method, while maintaining a negligible bit increment and a minimal loss of image quality.

By inserting $H_2O$ treatment steps during atomic layer deposition of a ZnO layer, the turn-on voltage shift from negative bias stress (NBS) under illumination was reduced considerably compared to that of a device that has a continuously grown ZnO layer without any treatment steps. Meanwhile, treatment steps without introducing reactive gases, and simply staying under a low working pressure, aggravated the instability under illuminated NBS due to an increase of oxygen vacancy concentration in the ZnO layer. From the experiment results, additional oxidation of the ZnO channel layer is proven to be effective in improving the stability against illuminated NBS.

This letter presents the design of a small and low-profile RFID tag antenna in the UHF band that can be mounted on metallic objects. The designed tag antenna, which uses a ceramic material as a substrate, consists of a radiating patch and a microstrip line with two shorting pins for a proximity-coupled feeding structure. Using this structure, impedance matching can be simply obtained between the antenna and tag chip without a matching network. The fractional impedance bandwidth for $S_{11}$ <3 dB and radiation efficiency are about 1.4% and 56% at 911 MHz, respectively. The read range is approximately from 5 m to 6 m when the tag antenna is mounted on a metallic surface.

InP-based planar waveguide 48-channel concave grating demultiplexers with a channel spacing of 0.8 nm (100 GHz) are described and demonstrated. Polarization insensitivity and flattened spectral response are successfully achieved by the introduction of a polarization compensator and a two-focus grating, respectively. The fabricated device shows a polarization-dependent wavelength shift of less than 20 pm and a -3 dB spectral width of about 0.55 nm (68.75 GHz) over all channels.
