In this paper, vibration modes and frequencies of a ring-type stacked piezoelectric actuator for a wire bonding transducer system are analyzed using FEM simulations. We implement experiments using a commercial product model of the actuator PZT module which consists of 6 layer ring-type PZT and 7 electrodes, combined bolts, nut and tinut. There are two main results: One is that FEM analysis should consider the effect the harmonic voltage input in order to meet the experimental results. The other is that the current wire bonder using exciting frequency of 136 kHz should be modified in order to improve the actuator and bonding performance because the actuator module has the main longitudinal mode of 145 kHz.

Glutaric aciduria type 1 is an inborn error of lysine, hydroxylysine, and tryptophan metabolism caused by deficiency of glutaryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase. The disease often appears in infancy with encephalopathy episode that results in acute basal ganglia and white matter degeneration. The majority of patients develop a dystonic-dyskinetic syndrome. This reports 6year-old boy who had been done previous gastrostomy due to swallowing difficulty underwent bilateral pallidotomy with intraoperative electromyography[EMG] monitoring for disabling dystonia. Intraoperative EMG was used to assess stimulation thresholds required for capsular responses and muscle tone. Surface EMG electrodes were placed on the face and cricopharyngeal muscles. Exact target were directly modified according to MRI-visualized anatomy. EMG response was consistently seen prior to visual observation of muscle activity. The surgery improved dystonic symptoms without swallowing difficulty.

The effect of the Pt electrode and the $Pt-IrO_2$ hybrid electrode on the performance of ferroelectric device was investigated. The modified Pt thin films with non-columnar structure significantly reduced the oxidation of TiN diffusion barrier layer, which rendered it possible to incorporate the simple stacked structure of Pt/TiN/poly-Si plug. When a $Pt-IrO_2$ hybrid electrode is applied, PZT thin film properties are influenced by the thickness and the partial coverage of the electrode layers. The optimized $Pt-IrO_2$ hybrid electrode significantly enhanced the fatigue properties of the PZT thin film with minimal leakage current.

In this work, graphene was prepared by modified Hummers method and prepared graphene was applied to electrode materials for supercapacitor. In addition, to enhance the electrochemical performance of graphene, carbon black was deposited onto graphene via chemical reduction. The effect of the carbon black content incorporated on the electrochemical properties of the graphene-based electrodes was investigated. It was found that nano-scaled carbon black aggregates were deposited and dispersed onto the graphene by the chemical reduction of acid treated carbon black and graphite oxide. From the cyclic voltammograms, carbon black-deposited graphene (CB-GR) showed improved electrochemical performance, i.e., current density, quicker response, and better specific capacitance than that of pristine graphene. This indicates that the carbon black deposited onto graphene served as an conductive materials between graphene layers, leading to reducing the contact resistance of graphene and resulted in the increase of the charge transfer between graphene layers by bridge effect.

A breaking layer was introduced to conventional decal transfer method in membrane electrolyte assembly fabrication for high catalyst transfer ratio. In this study, the modified decal transfer method with high catalyst transfer ratio was introduced and its performance is studied. The structural features of electrodes made by decal method were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and current-voltage polarization measurement.

An improved guarding circuit is applied to a transconductance driven-right-leg circuit to decrease common-mode current at measurement electrodes due to power-line interference. After showing conventional guarding circuit is instable due to gain-peaking when used with a transconductance DRL circuit, the effect of the proposed guarding circuit modified to suppress the gain-peaking by inserting a series resistor between shields and a shield driver was analyzed. It is shown that, besides stability, the proposed guarding circuit provides two other advantages: 1) The gain of the shield driver can be set to be unit nominally. 2) The loop gain of the transconductance DRL loop can be increased due to pole-zero canceling. The proposed circuit was implemented and the advantages were confirmed.

The purpose of development is to localize a connector for connection of cable and GIS for underground transmission system. The cable connector for GIS provides electrical insulation of GIS housing part and makes connection of ultra high voltage electrical apparatus and power cable by controlling electrical stress between electrodes of power cable termination. Generally Korean switchgear makers are using a connector for GIS made by foreign companies. We manufactured sample by best structure design of great capacity conductor connecting part and then modified the design by analysis of shape and section. We completed the suitable sample for current cycling test condition of conductor connecting part sample and ensured surge characteristics of line by short-time current test.

In this paper, Thin film bulk acoustic resonate.(TFBAR) fillers tuned by gold plated on-wafer inductors are presented. The air-gap type TEBAR is used with aluminum nitride(AIN) as piezoelectric material and platinum as top and bottom electrodes. Inductor equivalent model and modified Butterworth-Van Dyke(MBVD) model are employed for the frequency tuning of fabricated TFBAR bandpass filters. Fabricated inductor has inductance of 3 nH and Q factor of about 8 at 2 ㎓. It is clearly revealed that inductor tuning can enhance the bandwidth of ladder filters and improve out-of-band rejection characteristic around 10㏈.

A new electro-rheological squeeze film damper (ER SFD) has been sealed with slotted piston rings which have electrodes at the inside of the constant gap. The slotted ER SFD can prevent the problem of electric discharge which might be occurred in the previous configuration of an ER SFD. The current paper presents the extraction of linearized dynamic coefficients within small orbit where these coefficients are controlled by the application of electric strength. Test rig has been modified to isolate the damper section for dynamic coefficient extraction. The results show that rotordynamic coefficients, damping and inertia terms, increase with increasing supply voltages, while stiffness coefficients decrease with increasing supply voltages. Rotating speed of rigid Shaft does not affect these coefficients.

The dielectric properties of DGEBA/MDA/GN system under inhomoneous electric field were investigated. As GN contents increased, impact strength increased, but dielectric breakdown strength decreased. At $150^{\circ}C$, the dielectric breakdown strength decreased and uniformly maintained with the increment of distance between two electrodes. The life-time of epoxy resin increased with the decrement of applied voltage, but dielectric breakdown didn't occur below specific applied voltage.
