In this paper, we propose how to design a fire control system main control board for individual combat weapons using a small and low power processor. To design an electric board of small weapon systems, Size and power consumption are very important factors. We solved the problem using selection of an adaptive processor, introduction of MicroChipPackaging method, and separate design of a main board Also we applied these methods to make the fire control system for small arms.

Nickel chloride coated protein chip plate was developed by using a spin coating method. The ability of histidine tagged protein adsorption was investigated at various solvents. The surface of plate has a large aggregated nickel complex with high density in water. However, the surface of plate has a very small size of aggregated nickel complex with low density in isopropanol. The ability of protein adsorption decreased as increasing the size of alkyl chain in various alcohol solvents. The mechanism on the ability of protein adsorption at the plate surface is discussed.

In this paper, a finite element method for predicting the temperature and stress distributions in micro-machining is presented. The work material is oxygen-free-high-conductivity copper(OFHC copper) and its flow stress is taken as a function of strain, strain rate and temperature in order to reflect realistic behavior in machining process. From the simulation, a lot of information on the micro-machining process can be obtained; cutting force, cutting temperature, chip shape, distributions of temperature and stress, etc. The calculated cutting force was found to agree with the experiment result with the consideration of friction characteristics on chip-tool contact region. Because of considering the tool edge radius, this cutting model using the finite element method can analyze the micro-machining with the very small depth of cut, almost the same size of tool edge radius, and can observe the 'size effect' characteristic. Also the effects of temperature and friction on micro-machining were investigated.

A novel structure of phase locked loop (PLL) which has small size with D Flip-Flop and sub charge pump has been proposed. The area of loop filter usually occupying the larger portion of the chip is minimized using a single small capacitor. It has been simulated and proved by HSPICE in a CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ 1.8V process.

Micro-fluidics is one of the major technologies used in developing micro-total analytical systems (${\mu}$-TAS), also known as “lab-on-a-chip”. With this technology, the analytical capabilities of room-size laboratories can be put on one small chip. In this paper, we will briefly introduce materials that can be used in micro-fluidic systems and a few modules (mixer, chamber, and sample prep. modules) for lab-on-a-chip to analyze biological samples. This is because a variety of fields have to be combined with micro-fluidic technologies in order to realize lab-on-a-chip.

In this paper, we design and implement a firmware for low-cost small PCR devices. To minimize machine code size, the proposed firmware controls real-time tasks simultaneously only with support of the hardware interrupt, but without support of the operating system program. The proposed firmware has the host-local structure in which the firmware receives operation commands from PC and sends operation results to PC through usb communication. We implement a low-cost small PCR device with the proposed firmware loaded on microchip PIC18F4550 chip, and verify that the implemented PCR device significantly reduces cost and volume size of existing commercial PCR devices with a similar performance.

Currently, there is widespread adoption of silicon-based technologies for the implementation of radio frequency (RF) integrated passive devices (IPDs) because of their low-cost, small footprint and high performance. Also, the need for high speed data transmission and reception coupled with the ever increasing demand for mobility in consumer devices has generated a great interest in low cost devices with smaller form-factors. The UWB BPF makes use of lumped IPD technology on a silicon substrate CSMP (Chip Scale Module Package). In this paper, this filter shows 2.0 dB insertion loss and 15 dB return loss from 7.0 GHz to 9.0 GHz. To the best of our knowledge, the UWB band-pass-filter developed in this paper has the smallest size ($1.4\;mm{\times}1.2\;mm{\times}0.40\;mm$) while achieving equivalent electrical performance.

This paper proposes CMOS on-chip voltage and current reference circuits that operate at supply voltages between 2.5V and 5.5V without using a vonventional bandgap voltage structure. The proposed reference circuits based on enhancement-type MOS transistors show low cost, compatibility with other on-chip MOS circuits, low-power consumption, and small-chip size. The prototype was implemented in a 0.6 um n-well single-poly double-metal CMOS process and occupies an active die area of $710 um \times 190 um$. The proposed voltage reference realizes a mean value of 0.97 V with a standard deviation of $\pm0.39 mV$, and a temperature coefficient of $8.2 ppm/^{\circ}C$ over an extended temeprature range from TEX>$-25^{\circ}C$ to $75^{\circ}C$. A measured PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) is about -67 dB at 50kHz.

In this paper, we implemented a single-chip speech recognizer using the TMS320C2000 DSPs. For this implementation, we had developed very small-sized speaker-dependent recognition engine based on dynamic time warping, which is especially suited for embedded systems where the system resources are severely limited. We carried out some optimizations including speed optimization by programming time-critical functions in assembly language, and code size optimization and effective memory allocation. For the TMS320F2801 DSP which has 12Kbyte SRAM and 32Kbyte flash ROM, the recognizer developed can recognize 10 commands. For the TMS320F2808 DSP which has 36Kbyte SRAM and 128Kbyte flash ROM, it has additional capability of outputting the speech sound corresponding to the recognition result. The speech sounds for response, which are captured when the user trains commands, are encoded using ADPCM and saved on flash ROM. The single-chip recognizer needs few parts except for a DSP itself and an OP amp for amplifying microphone output and anti-aliasing. Therefore, this recognizer may play a similar role to dedicated speech recognition chips.

A proposed multi-layer ceramic (MLC) chip type band-pass filter (BPF) is presented. The MLC chip BPF has the benefits of low cost and small size. The BPF consists of coulped stripline resonators and coupling capacitors. The BPF is designed to have an attenuation pole at below the passband for a receiver band of IMT-2000 handset. The computer-aided design technology is applied for analysis of the BPF frequency characteristics. The passband and attenuation pole depend the coupling between resonators and coupling capacitance. The frequency characterics of the passband and attenuation pole are analysed with the variance of the coupling between resonators and coupling capacitance. An equivalent circuit and structure of MLC chip BPF are proposed. The frequency characteristics of the BPF is well acceptable for IMT-2000 application.
