We have investigated the ultimate limits of nonuniform grating couplers (NGCs) for optimized fiber coupling to silicon waveguides, compared to uniform grating couplers (UGCs). Simple grating coupler schemes, which can be fabricated in etching steps of the conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers without forming any additional overlay structure, have been simulated numerically and demonstrated experimentally. Optimum values of the grating period, fill factor, and groove number for ultimate coupling efficiency of the NGCs are determined from finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation, and confirmed with experimentally demonstrated devices by comparison to those for the UGCs. Our simulated results indicate that maximum coupling efficiency of NGCs is possible when the minimum pattern size is below 50 nm, but the experimental value for the maximum coupling efficiency is limited by the attainable fabrication tolerance in a practical device process.

In the gear meshing process, gear temperature field concerns the meshing surface friction, the friction heat depends on the contact pressure, the contact pressure is affected by the elastic deformation of gears and the temperature field caused by the thermal deformation, so the temperature field, stress field and displacement field should be mutual coupling. It is necessary to consider in meshing gear pair in the operation process of thermodynamic coupling contact stress (TCCS) and thermodynamic coupling deformation (TCD), and based on thermodynamic coupling analysis (TCA) of gear teeth deformation.

편광에 따른 성능 변화가 작은 deep-ridge 도파관 구조에 제작이 용이한 double-sided 프로세스를 이용하여 구현할 수 있는 편광에 무관한 매우 짧은 결합 길이를 가지는 double-sided deep-ridge 도파관 구조를 가지는 새로운 수직 방향성 결합기를 제안하고 여러 가지 구조 파라미터들이 결합길이에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 도파관 폭의 변화에 대한 결합길이의 변화는 코어 두께의 변화에 대한 결합길이의 변화보다 작게 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 내부 클래딩 영역의 두께가 감소할수록, 코어 두께가 감소할수록 결합 길이가 감소함을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 같은 코어 두께에 대해서는 내부 클래딩 영역의 두께가 감소할수록, 같은 내부 클래딩 영역의 두께에 대해서는 코어 두께가 감소할수록 편광에 관계없이 결합 길이가 같아지는 도파관 폭이 작아짐을 볼 수 있었다.

Nowadays software developers are moving from conventional software process technologies to the object-oriented paradigm. To develope the object-oriented softwares efficiently, various software metrics have been suggested. Coupling refers to the degree of independence between components of the system. It has long been well known that good software practice calls for minimizing coupling interaction. Many researches have been studied coupling metrics of the object- oriented systems. We review Chidamber and Kemerer's work & Li's work. In this paper, we study the coupling of the overall structures of object-oriented systems by analyzing the class diagram of UML. We propose four coupling metrics for object-oriented softwares. First, we use an established coupling metric for object- oriented systems as a basic coupling metric. Then we modify the basic coupling metric by including indirect coupling between classes, We also suggest two relative coupling metrics to measure coupling between subsystems. We investigate the theoretical soundness of the proposed metrics by the axioms of Briand et al. Finally, we apply the presented metrics to a practical case study. This coupling metric will be helpful to the software developers for their designing tasks by evaluating the coupling metric of the structures of object-oriented system and redesigning tasks of the system.

Corrosion of structural materials presents a critical challenge in the use of lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) as a nuclear coolant in an accelerator-driven system. By forming a protective layer on the steel surfaces, corrosion of steels in LBE cooled reactors can be mitigated. The amount of oxygen concentration required to create a continuous and stable oxide layer on steel surfaces is related to the oxidation process. So far, there is no oxidation experiment in fuel assemblies (FA), let alone specific oxidation detail information. This information can be, however, obtained by numerical simulation. In the present study, a new coupling method is developed to implement a coupling between the oxygen mass transfer model and the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS-CFX. The coupling approach is verified. Using the coupling tool, we study the oxidation process of the FA and investigate the effects of different inlet parameters, such as temperature, flow rate on the mass transfer process.

The dynamics of nitrogen compounds and RNA-based functional genes were characterized in the nitrification-denitrification coupling process. For the removal of residual ammonium, intermittent aeration was introduced in the denitrification reactor. N₂O production was not observed in both reactors. In both reactors, the nitrifying genes (achaeal-amoA, bacterial-amoA and hor) and denitrifying genes (narG, nirK, norB and nosZ) had a copy number of 3.92 × 10²-7.25 × 10⁵ and 2.85 × 10²-3.06 × 10⁴ per ng of DNA, respectively. These results suggest that denitrification and nitrification reactions occur in both the nitrification and denitrification reactors, respectively. Therefore, the coupling process is a promising one for the conversion of ammonium to nitrogen without generating N₂O.

Curvic coupling of mill turret should maintain disk weight and the cutting resistance which occurs the machining operation and must also have power transmission function. In order to improve machining operation range, the ejecting distance from curvic coupling to the disk must increase as much as possible. But moment is increased by the lack of capacity of the curvic coupling. Increase of moment is the cause of vibration/noise and degradation of machining performance not only stability problem. The manufacturer of mill turret has no the design information between the ejecting distance and the cutting resistance with safety of curvic coupling. Therefore this study describes a finite element analysis model of mill turret using ANSYS workbench. The structural analyses and modal analyses with varying of the ejecting distances and cutting resistances are performed. Finally the equation for relationship between the critical ejecting distance and the cutting resistance is defined under 5 of the safety factor for the maximum von-Mises stress at the curvic coupling.

1-chloro-2-iodoperfluorocycloalkenes를 종전에는 DMF 용매속에서 KI를 사용하여 Halogen 교환반응에 의하여 합성하였으나 alkyllithium으로 금속교환반응을 통하여 iodination함으로써 반응시간이 단축되던지 특히 1,2-dichloroperfluorocyclohexene의 경우에는 더 높은 수득률의 1-chloro-2-iodoperfluorocyclohexene을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 1,2-dihaloperfluorocycloalkenes의 coupling 반응도 fluorocycloolefins과 동분을 DMF와 혼합하여 slurry를 만들어 이것을 sublimer속에서 감압하에 반응시키므로서 반응시간과 온도를 낮출 수 있었으며 생성물의 수득률도 많이 증가시킬 수 있었다. 대표적인 예로서 1-chloro-2-iodotetrafluorocyclobutene의 coupling 반응에 있어서는 종전에 비해서 더 높은 수득률의 coupling product를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편 coupling반응이 가능한 기구를 검토하고 그 생성물의 물리적 성질을 측정하여 확인하였다.

This paper presents a network reduction using weak coupling method. Weak coupling method of identifying coherent generator groups are proposed. The partitioning technique used in this paper is based on a property of sparse matrix factorization. When a matrix has been factorized, a system is divided into study area, boundary buses and external area. A reduction process for external system starts with the load bus elimination and coherent generator aggregation. An identification of coherent generator group, network partitioning and network reduction are presented.
