  • In a flexible manufacturing system, a cell controller is able to identify and evaluate a number of alternative decisions to meet the objectives set by the factory level controller. In this paper, a Petri net-based cell controller is presented to accomplish this task. A static model is developed by using the Integrated Computer Aided Definition(IDEF0) method to represent clear functional relationships among the objects of the system. Based on the static model, two Petri net models are developed for the physical part flow and for the information flow. Multiple decision alternatives are generated from the physical part flow model and are synchronized with the information flow model for execution of the selected alternative.

  • 플렉서블 태양전지용 연성기판재에는 플라스틱재와 금속재가 있다. 기존의 연성기판인 플라스틱의 경우 열과, 내구성, 화학약품에 약하다는 단점이 있으며, 금속기판은 높은 생산원가, 박판화의 어려움 등의 문제를 안고 있다. 일반적으로 기판재와 cell을 구성하는 반도체 층의 열팽창 거동 차이에 의한 열 변형이 태양전지의 공정안정성에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있으며, cell을 구성하는 반도체 층과 열팽창 거동이 유사한 금속기판재의 적용이 필요하다. Si 박막 태양전지의 경우 Si 열팽창 거동과 비슷한 특성을 갖는 기판재의 개발이 필요하다. 전주법을 적용하여 조성이 다른 Ni계 합금의 열팽창 거동을 TMA 장비를 사용하여 측정하였다. 그리고 전산해석 Tool을 활용하여 가상의 Si 박막 태양전지 제조공정을 설정하고 고온 공정온도에서 상온으로 냉각시 발생되는 층간 열변형 연구를 수행하였고 열팽창 거동이 다른 합금 상에 Si층을 증착하여 열 충격에 의한 결함 발생여부를 관찰하였다.

  • This research is concerned with buffer management in a multi-cell FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System) with an AGVS(Automated Guided Vehicle System). To reduce blocking and starving caused by breakdowns, variablility in process times, and diversity of part routing, buffer is needed. Due to the high per unit buffer cost, which primarily consists of floor space and equipment cost, the total capacity of buffers in an FMS is very limited. Therefore, proper buffer management can provide a high system efficiency. This paper presents a buffer management model for a multi-cell FMS with an AGVS and a simulation study to compare the proposed model to a conventional buffer management model in a job shop FMS.

  • We fabricated an optically compensated bend cell with pixel-isolating polymer wall. The polymer wall was formed by phase separation of LCs and UVcurable polymer. The fabricated cell had initially ${\pi}-twist$ state. It showed low driving voltage, wide viewing angle and fast response properties. Also, polymer wall provided the mechanical stability preventing distortion of a display image from pressure.

  • In this study, the control and scheduling of the flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) is discussed, which can perform the mixed production and relieve the effect of machine failure. The control of the FMC isvery complex task due to the property of multiple jobs and the dynamically changing states. For effective control of proposed FMC, the hierarchical scheme is introduced and the functions of each levels are defined. Especially for the control functions of shop floor level and cell level, the intelligent scheduler is implemented. To show the efficiency of the intelligent scheduler, the production method fo the existing assembly lines was evaluated and compared with the proposed intelligent FMC method. The results from the production performance show that the proposed method is superior to the existing method in various performance indices.

  • 본 논문에서는 전기습윤(Electrowetting) 디스플레이의 효율적인 생산을 위해 섬유형식의 전극들을 제안하고, 이러한 방법을 이용한 전기습윤 셀 구동형 플렉서블 디스플레이의 소스 드라이버 설계방법을 제안하였다. 전기습윤 셀 매트릭스는 임프린팅 방법에 의하여 PET 등의 Substrate 위에 구성하고 셀 매트릭스 사이의 간격에는 드라이버섬유, 습윤 전극섬유와 전도성 섬유를 가로와 세로로 배치하고, 교차점에는 전기적 접점을 구성하여 전기습윤 셀매트릭스가 구동되도록 하였다. 기존의 소스 드라이버에서는 각 채널당 R/2R방식의 DAC을 사용하므로 사용되는 소자의 수가 증가하여 집적도가 저하되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 채널당 소자의 수를 감소시켜 집적도를 높이고 비용을 절감할 수 있는 저 전력 소스 드라이버 설계방법을 제안하고 VHDL 프로그램을 이용한 시뮬레이션으로 타당성을 검증하였다.

  • The present work is an experimental and analytical study on a flexible disk rotating close to a rigid rotating disk in open air. In the analytical study, the air flow in the gap between the flexible disk and the rigid disk is modeled using Navier-Stokes and continuity equations while the flexible disk is modeled using the linear plate theory. The flow equations are discretized using the cell centered finite volume method (FVM) and solved numerically with semi-implicit pressure-linked equations (SIMPLE algorithm). The spatial terms in the disk equation are discretized using the finite difference method (FDM) and the time integration is performed using fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. An experimental test-rig is designed to investigate the dynamics of the flexible disk when rotating close to a co-rotating, a counter-rotating and a fixed rigid disk, which works as a stabilizer. The effects of rotational speed, initial gap height and inlet-hole radius on the flexible disk displacement and its vibration amplitude are investigated experimentally for the different types of stabilizer. Finally, the analytical and experimental results are compared.

  • TCO(Transparent Conducting Oxide) on flat glass is used in thin-film photovoltaic cell, flat-panel display. Nowadays, Corning(R) Willow Glass(R), known as flexible substrate, has attracted much attention due to its many advantages such as reliable roll-to-roll glass processing, high-quality flexible electronic devices, high temperature process. Also, it can be an alternative to flexible polymer substrates which have their poor stability and degradation of electrical and optical qualities. For application on willow glass, the flexibility, electrical, optical properties can be greatly influenced by the TCO thin film thickness due to the inherent characterization of thin film in nanoscale. It can be expected that while thick TCO layer causes poor transparency, its sheet resistance become low. Also, rarely reports were focusing on the influence of flexible properties by varying TCO thickness on flexible glass. Therefore, it is very important to optimize TCO thickness on flexible Willow glass. In this study, Ti-ZnO thin films, with different thickness varied from 0 nm to 50 nm, were deposited on the flexible willow glass by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The flexible, electrical and optical properties were investigated, respectively. Also, these properties of Ti-doped ZnO thin films were compared with un-doped ZnO thin film. Based on the results, when Ti-ZnO thin films thickness increased, resistivity decreased and then saturated; transmittance decreased. The Figure of Merit (FoM) and flexibility was the highest when Ti-ZnO thickness was 40nm. The flexible, electrical and optical properties of Ti-ZnO thin films were better than ZnO thin film at the same thickness.

  • The most promising application of the biofuel cells is implantable devices, so the biofuel cells should have an appropriate shape for the vascular vessel. We demonstrated the biofuel cell roll for using in tubes. MWNTs were aggregated by vacuum filtration on a nitrocellulose membrane filter, which was biocompatible and flexible. The MWNT aggregated nitrocellulose membrane used the electrodes of the biofuel cells because it was conductive as well as nanostuructured. Then, the membrane was rolled into the roll shape. The maximum power density of the biofuel cell roll was $7.9{\mu}W/cm^2$ at 153mV and 50 mM glucose. Also, the power density is expected to increase in its practical application if there is flow in the tube, which makes the transportation of fuel easy. The biofuel cell roll contacts with the wall of the tube, so flow in the tube does not disturb. Also, the biofuel cell roll has multi-layers offering more electroactive area.
