A signal processing technique for interferometric fiber-optic sensors is proposed. It does not require a any special optic components such as phase modulator, $3times3$ couplers,to obtain the full sensitivity of the interferometer. Instead, it requires a reference interferometer for phase referencing and a reference mirror for intensity referencing, but intensity referencing can be done without using the r reference mirror. The new technique utilizes the frequency chirping of the laser diode to process t the sensor signal with both wide dynamic range and high sensitivity of the interferometer. It was a applied to an internal-mirrored FP interferometric temperature sensor to obtain the system noise of $4\times10^{-3\circ}C$ from I cm FP Interferometor sensor device.

Metal sulfide powders such as MnS, $MoS_2$ and FeS are simply used to the machinery processing improvement agent and solid lubricant in powder metallurgy industrial. And then, metal sulfide powders have received relatively little attention from powder metallurgy. Recently, the portable machine is one of the important interfaces between human or human and electronic machine. With the increase of the intelligent activity, the social and industrial demands for information display device and power source are increasing. The transition metal sulfide materials (FeS, ZnS) have received considerable attention due to the large variety of its electric, optical and magnetic properties. Among the metal sulfide, $FeS_2$ is appealing superior material for applications in $Li-2^{nd}$ battery because of high capacity. ZnS is also a famous phosphor material with various luminescence properties, such as photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL). So generally used in the fields of display, sensors and laser. Metal sulfide materials, therefore, are provided for most widely application in all industries. In recent years, material researchers have become increasingly interested in studying with synthesis of metal sulfide.

De-NOx facility using Selective Catalytic Reduction method is the most widely applied one that removes NOx from flue gas emitted from combustion facility such as boiler for power generation engine incinerator etc. Reductant $NH_3\;or\;NH_4OH$ is sprayed into flue gas to convert NOx into $H_2O$ and $N_2.$ Good mixing between flue gas and $NH_3$ is the most important factor to increase reduction in catalytic layer and to reduce unreacted NH3 slip. Therefore the development of mixer device for mixing effect is one of the important part for SCR facility. Objectives of this study are to investigate the relation between flow and concentration field by observation at the wake of delta-wing type mixer. At the first stage qualitative measurement of flow field is conducted by flow visualization using laser light sheet in lab. scale wind tunnel. Also we have conducted the quantitative analysis by comparing flow field measurement using LDV with numerical simulation. On the basis of qualitative and quantitative analysis we investigate the dis-tribution of flow and concentration in flow model facility. The results of an experimental and compu-tational examination of the vortex structures shed from delta wing type vortex generator having $40^{\circ}$ angle of attack are presented, The effects of vortex structure on the gas mixing is discussed, too.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the macroscopic spray characteristics and spray pattern of a gasoline direct injection (GDI) injector according to the increase of injection pressure. The macroscopic spray characteristics, such as a spray tip penetration and spray angle, were measured and analyzed from the frozen spray images, which are obtained from the spray visualization system including the high-speed camera, light-source, long-distance microscope (LDM). The spray pattern was analyzed through the deviation of the center of the spray plum and images were acquired using Nd: YAG Laser and ICCD(Intensified charge coupled device) camera. From the experiment and analysis, it revealed that the injection pressure have a significant influence on the spray tip penetration and spray pattern. However, the injection pressure have little influence on the spray angle. The increase of injection pressure induced the reduction of a closing delay. In addition, the deviation of spray center increase with the increase of injection pressure and the distance from a nozzle tip.

We have fabricated poly-Si TFTs by two-step crystallizaton. Poly-Si films have been prepared by furnace annealing(FA) and rapid thermal annealing(RTA) followed by subsequent the post-annealing, excimer laser annealing. The measured crystallinity of RTA and FA annealed poly-Si film is 77% and 68.5%, respectively. For two-step annealed poly-Si film, the crystallinity has been drastically to 87.7% and 86.3%. The RMS surface roughness from AFM results have been improved from 56.3${\AA}$ to 33.5${\AA}$ after post annealing. The measured transfer characteristics of the two-step annealed poly-Si TFTs have been improved significantly for the both FA-ELA and RTA-ELA. Leakage currents of two-step annealed poly-Si TFTs are lower than that of the devices by FA and RTA. From these results, we can describe the fact that the intra-grain defects has been cured drastically by the post-annealing.

A new material tester has been developed to measure mechanical properties of thin film specimens at high temperature. It is useful for observing oxide film growth or local deformation on the surface, and for measuring creep strength. Main characteristics of the tester is as follows; First, high temperature is achieved by Joule heating generated by electricity passing through the specimen, which does not need to enclose the specimen by a furnace or a heating chamber. The exposed specimen enables one to observe the surface during the test. Because the overall size of the test rig is compact, the whole test rig can be placed in a chamber for environmental controlled tests. The loading device is from a level scales. Not only static load with fixed counter weight, but also variable load by moving counter weight controlled remotely can be applied for an ordinary creep test and creep-fatigue test, respectively. The detail of the construction, operation principle, and the specification are described. And also, an example of test result obtained using the creep tester is presented.

Alginate bead has been supplemented with various polymers to control permeability and to enhance mechanical strength. In this report, fibroin-reinforced alginate hydrogel was prepared, in which spatial localization of fibroin molecules was investigated. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that fibroin molecules formed a fibrous network in the alginate-fibroin beads, which was expected to enhance mechanical strength as same as in many composite materials. Uniaxial compression test showed that fibroin-reinforced alginate beads had increased mechanical strength only after methanol treatment that caused ${\beta}$-sheet formation among fibroin molecules. Simultaneous curing and dialysis of alginate beads were carried out to remove excesscalcium but to retain fibroin in the dialysis chamber, which fabricated beads without internal fibrous fluorescent stains. Fibroin molecules were only found beneath the surface of the beads. The fibroin-diffused shell was further processed to form a thick wall after drying or was mobilizedto the centre of the bead by methanol treatment. Accordingly, the structure analyses provide processing methods of fibroin to form a wall or center clumps, which could be applied to design controlled delivery device.

We deposited epitaxial $Ba_{0.6}$S $r_{0.4}$Ti $O_3$(BST) films having thickness of 400 nm on MgO(001) substrates, where a 10 nm thick $Ba_{1-x}$S $r_{x}$Ti $O_3$(x=0.1-0.7) interlayer was inserted between BST and MgO to manipulate the stress of the BST films. Since the main difference of those epitaxial BST films was the lattice constant of the interlayers, we were very successful in controlling the stress of the BST films. BST films under small tensile stress showed larger dielectric constant than that without stress as well as those under compressive stress. Stress relaxation was investigated using epitaxial BST films with various thicknesses grown on different interlayers. For BST films grown on $Ba_{0.7}$S $r_{0.3}$Ti $O_3$ interlayers, the critical thickness was about 600 nm. On the other hand, the critical thickness of single-layer BST film was less than 100 nm.00 nm.m.m.m.
