Laser lithography technique is useful for fabricating micro-patterns of silicon wafers. In this work, the laser lithography micromachining technique is optimized based on Taguchi method. Sensitivity analysis was performed using laser scanning speed, laser power level, developing time and mixture ratio between developer and Di-water as the parameters. The results show that for the photoresist used in this work, 70${\mu}m$/s scan speed, 50㎽ laser power, 60sec. developing time and 6: 1 mixture ratio gives the best result. This work shows the effectiveness of laser lithography technique in fabricating patterns with a flew micrometer in width.

Burrs formed during face milling operations can be very difficult to characterize since there exist several parameters which have complex combined effects that affect the cutting process. Many researchers have attempted to predict burr characteristics including burr size and shape, using various experimental parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, in-plane exit angle, and number of inserts. However, the results of these studies tend to be limited to a specific process parameter range and to certain materials. In this paper, the Taguchi method, a systematic optimization method for design and analysis of experiments, is introduced to acquire optimum cutting conditions for burr minimization. In addition, an in process monitoring scheme using an artificial neural network is presented for the prediction of burr types.

For the successful forming of tailored blank, it is important to control the deformation of the stretch flange mode, which is strong1y dependent upon the location of weld line and blank shape. In order to investigate the effects of tailored blank design factors on the stretch flange forming, we made the model die which can simulate stretch flange mode. Taguchi method was employed to analyze the sensitivity of blank design factors for the forming of tailored blank. From the results of experiment S/N ratios were calculated and using Variance Analysis, significance of parameters and optimal condition of each factors were extracted. Based on these analyses, the weld line height and the strength ratio and the arc center height were selected as effective parameter. The analysed result was practically applied for Side outer panel stamping process.

The single stroke hot deformation is a simple method fur the fabrication of anisotropic NdFeB magnets. In order to obtain the optimum conditions, Taguchi method of experimental design was applied in this work. The optimum conditions obtained on the basis of coercivity in Taguchi analysis was a little different from those of remanence and maximum energy Product. The contribution of each factor to magnetic Properties was calculated in detail.

General vehicle is evaluated by its acceleration, fuel economy, NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) and subjective (Launching feel) performance. The first step to enhance its performance is to know how much each component affects on the vehicle performance. It is very important to know what is the key factor of the component among many specifications. Hydraulic torque converter can be expressed by means of its performance curve (torque ratio and capacity factor). In this paper, the key factor of torque converter, which affect vehicle performance, are explored by using Taguchi method.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of factors on the dynamic stiffness variation of boring bar. The experiment was carried out by Taguchi Method and Orthogonal array table. The results indicate that overhang was found out to be dominant factor with 95% confident intervals and feed rate and depth of cut were insignificant. In addition, analysis of loss function shows that loss value increased sharply from 3D to 4D(D is a shank diameter). Consequently, there is critical point which changes property of dynamic stiffness.

Application of ceramic has increased due to excellent mechanical properties, and machining of ceramic has demanded gradually a precision surface machining. For decreasing the surface roughness, the control of IED lapping parameters is very important. This paper deal with the analysis of the process parameters such as applied forces, percentage of h-BN and IED lapping time, developed based on Taguchi method. Also, SEM was used for monitoring of a machinable ceramic surface.

In parameter design, Taguchi's stated objective is to find the setting of product or process design parameters that minimize average quadratic loss-that is, the average squared deviation of the response from its target value. Yet in practice to choose the settings of design parameters he maximizeds a set of measures called signal-to-noise(SN) ratios. In general, Taguchi gave no justification for the use the SN ratios and no explanation of why the two-step procedure that he recommened will minimize average loss. The purpose of this study is comparing and analyzing of performance statistics by Leon et al(PerMIA), Box(Transformation theory), Vining & Myers(Dual Response Systems) and Taguchi(Signal-to-Noise ratios).

Lactic acid production parameter optimization using Lactobacillus amylovorus NRRL B-4542 was performed using the design of experiments (DOE) available in the form of an orthogonal array and a software for automatic design and analysis of the experiments, both based on Taguchi protocol. Optimal levels of physical parameters and key media components namely temperature, pH, inoculum size, moisture, yeast extract, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, Tween 80, and corn steep liquor (CSL) were determined. Among the physical parameters, temperature contributed higher influence, and among media components, yeast extract, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, and Tween 80 played important roles in the conversion of starch to lactic acid. The expected yield of lactic acid under these optimal conditions was 95.80% and the actual yield at optimum conditions was 93.50%.
