전력 소비량이 극대화 되면서 개인 전력 중개사업자 및 전력 생산설비의 증가에 따라 전력 설비를 유지, 보수하기 위한 현장 설비 담당자들을 위한 증강현실 기반 모니터링 시스템들에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 증강현실 기반 모니터링 시스템들의 경우 외부 환경, 설비의 복잡성, 조명환경에 대한 간섭 등의 문제로 인하여 정확한 패턴 검출이 어려우며, 전력 설비에 대한 다양한 센싱 정보 및 서비스 정보를 하나의 패턴에 매칭하지 못하는 문제가 있다. 이로 인하여 전력 설비의 센서별로 단일 이미지의 패턴을 이용하여 센서 정보를 매칭하기 때문에 모든 정보를 증강하여 제공하기 위해 다수의 이미지 패턴이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 특징 패턴들로 구성된 단일 이미지에서 특징 패턴들의 배열조합을 통해 다수의 정보를 매칭하여 제공하는 단일 이미지 패턴 배열화 기법을 제안한다.

As power consumption is maximized, research on augmented reality-based monitoring systems for on-site facility managers to maintain and repair power facilities is being actively conducted as individual power brokerages and power production facilities increase. However, in the case of existing augmented reality-based monitoring systems, it is difficult to accurately detect patterns due to problems such as external environment, facility complexity, and interference with the lighting environment, and it is not possible to match various sensing information and service information for power facilities to one pattern. there is a problem. For this reason, since sensor information is matched using a single image pattern for each sensor of a power facility, a plurality of image patterns are required to augment and provide all information. In this paper, we propose a single image pattern arrangement method that matches and provides a plurality of information through an array combination of feature patterns in a single image composed of a plurality of feature patterns.

Application of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to the fabrication of organic thin film transistor has been recently reported very often since it can help to provide ohmic contact between films as well as to form simple and effective electrode pattern. Accordingly, quality of these ultra-thin films is becoming more imperative. In this study, in order to manufacture a high quality SAM pattern, a hydrophobic alkylsilane monolayer and a hydrophilic aminosilane monolayer were selectively coated on SiO2 surface through the consecutive procedures of a micro-contact printing (μCP) and dipcoating methods under extremely dry condition. On a SAM pattern cleaned with SC1 solution immediately after μCP, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) source and drain electrode array were very selectively and nicely vapour phase polymerized. On the other side, on a SC1-untreated SAM pattern, PEDOT array was very poorly polymerized. It strongly suggests that the SC1 cleaning process effectively removes unwanted contaminants on SAM pattern, thereby resulting in very selective growth of PEDOT electrode pattern.

본 논문에서는 원형배열 안테나의 위상차와 위상차 배열 패턴을 비교하여 전파 신호원의 방향을 찾는 방법을 연구 하였다. 위상비교 방향탐지 방식에서는 안테나 기준선 길이가 입사신호의 0.5파장보다 길면 같은 위상차에서 두 개 이상의 방위가 계산되는 방위각 모호성이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 0-360도 방위각에서 전파 신호가 입사될 때 5개 안테나에서 검출된 위상차 패턴을 융합하여 방위각 모호성을 제거한다. 개발된 모호성 제거 기법은 안테나가 5개인 균일원형배열 구조 에서 안테나 기준선이 입사신호의 1.236파장 이하이면 방위각 모호성 없이 방향탐지를 정확하게 수행하였다. 본 알고리즘은 조난구조와 전자정보시스템의 방향탐지 장치 설계에 잘 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we have studied a direction finding method of the radio signal by comparing the phase difference and its pattern from the uniform circular array antenna. In the phase comparison direction finding, if the length of the antenna baseline is longer than 0.5 wavelength of the incident signal, azimuth ambiguity occurs in which two or more azimuth angles are calculated in the same phase difference. The azimuthal ambiguity is removed by fusing the phase difference of the 5 antennas. The developed ambiguity elimination technology reduces the azimuth error where the antenna baseline is shorter than 1.236 wavelength in the uniform circular array with five antennas. This algorithm is very useful for the design of direction finder of an electronic information system.

The digital cameras utilize a CFA to take the colors of the scene. The downsampled versions of the red, green, and blue parts are obtained, and an upsampling of those three colors is needed to restore a full representation of the CFA image. In this paper, we study on Yamanaka patterned CFA. We conducted experiments in various scenarios with different size of filters and RGB patterns such as RRGB, RGGB, and RGBB.

This paper will investigate the friction characteristics of a 100m Hexagonal Array, Micro-scale Dimple Pattern, on bearing steel. These characteristics are researched by utilizing a pin-on-disk wear test machine, under various test conditions. The reduction of friction is a necessary requirement for the improved efficiency of this machine. As the speed increases, there is a decrease in the effect of the dimple of friction characteristic, with substantially little change to density. Conversely, as the load increases, the dimple pattern grows larger, resulting in a difference in the texture of these two components. At a dimple density of 10% the friction characteristic is easily demonstrated, with a consistent change in both speed and load.

In this paper, we propose an array pattern synthesis scheme using semidefinite programming (SDP) under array excitation power constraints. When an array pattern synthesis problem is formulated as an SDP problem, it is known that an additional rank-one constraint is generated inevitably and relaxed via semidefinite relaxation. If the solution to the relaxed SDP problem is not of rank one, then conventional SDP-based array pattern synthesis approaches fail to obtain optimal solutions because the additional rank-one constraint is not handled appropriately. To overcome this drawback, we adopted a bisection technique combined with a penalty function method. Numerical applications are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.

<P>A pattern array integrated on the front panel of a LED flat light was designed to improve the illuminance. Various pattern shapes were fabricated, including square pillar, hexagonal pillar, circular pillar, and hemispheres. Among them, the hemispherical pattern shape showed the highest improvement in the illuminance of the LED flat light due to a decrease in the total internal reflection of light. Using both a ray-tracing simulation and an experiment with a hardware fabrication, the optimal conditions in the pattern size of the hemispherical pattern array for the maximum improvement of the illuminance were investigated.</P>

In the tribological performance of materials, a textured surface reduces the friction coefficient and wear. This study investigates the effects of a pattern of 300 μm dimples in a hexagonal array on the tribological characteristics. Previous studies investigated 200 μm dimples by using a similar material and method. There are three frictional conditions based on the Stribeck curve: boundary friction, mixed friction, and fluid friction. In this experiment, we investigated the frictional characteristics by conducting frictional tests at sliding speeds ranging from 9.6 rpm to 143.3 rpm and a normal load ranging from 13.6 N to 92 N. We used a photolithography method to create dimples for surface texturing. We used five specimens with different dimple densities 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% in this study. The dimple density on the surface area is one of the important factors affecting the friction characteristics. The duty number graph indicates a fully developed fluid friction regime. Fluid friction occurs at a velocity of 28.7-143.3 rpm. We observed the best performance at a dimple density of 10% and a dimple diameter of 300 μm in the hexagonal array, the lowest friction coefficient at 0.0037 with 9.6 rpm 9.6N load, and the maximum friction coefficient at 0.0267 with 143.3 rpm 92N load.

This study investigates the effects of a pattern of 200 μm dimples in a hexagonal array on tribological characteristics. A textured surface might reduce the friction coefficient and wear caused by third-body abrasion and thus improve the tribological performance. There are three friction conditions based on the Stribeck curve: boundary friction, mixed friction, and fluid friction conditions. In this experiment, we investigate the friction characteristics by carrying out the friction tests at sliding speeds ranging from 0.06 to 0.34 m/s and normal load ranging from 10 to 100 N. We create dimple surfaces for texturing by using the photolithography method. There are three kinds of specimens with different dimple densities ranging from 10% to 30%. The dimple density on the surface area is the one of the important factors affecting friction characteristics. Friction coefficient generally decreases with an increase in the velocity and load, indicating that the lubrication regime changes depending on the load and velocity. The fluid friction regime is fully developed, as indicated by the duty number graph. Fluid friction occurs at a velocity of 0.14-0.26 m/s. The best performance is seen at 10% dimple density and 200 μm dimple circle in the hexagonal array.

The global positioning system (GPS) is a useful system in civilian and military applications. However, because of the weak signal, GPS receivers are vulnerable to interference caused by unwanted signals or intentional jammers. To alleviate this issue, a controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) array can be employed to adaptively place radiation pattern nulls toward the direction of the signal interference. The performance of the CRPA array improves as the number of antenna elements increases. Therefore, antenna miniaturization is highly desirable for CRPA applications. We designed a compact CRPA array based on seven electrically miniaturized microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) on a 5-inch ground platform. We used a non-Foster matching circuit to match efficiently miniaturized MPAs on an FR-4 substrate. Experimental results show that the non-Foster matching circuit significantly improves such elements of antenna performance as return loss and antenna gain. In addition, we confirmed that the mutual coupling of the proposed CRPA array is less than -45 dB.

This paper presents the results of the numerical simulation of a multibeam active phased array antenna for a High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS). The simulation takes into account the random errors caused by the non-identity of the array elements and the inaccuracy of the antenna calibration. The results of our statistical simulation show that the strict requirements on the sidelobe envelope for HAPSs can be met when the amplitude and phase distribution errors are minor, a condition which may be achieved by using digital beamforming.

In this study, we examined the friction characteristics of a dimple pattern on a carbon nitride coating. The study was conducted with a hexagonal array 40 ${\mu}m$ dimple pattern on a steel bearing containing a CNx coating. The area density of the dimple patterns were varied between 5% and 25%, the speed was varied from 0.06-0.26 m/s, and the load was varied between 20-100N. In general, we found that as the velocity increased, the friction coefficient increased. Furthermore, the friction coefficient was lowest at a load of 40N. The friction coefficient of the non-coated specimen was 0.025-0.15; on the other hand, the friction coefficient of the coated specimen was 0.002-0.02. Thus, we determined that the coated materials could reduce the friction coefficient by a factor of 7.5.

This study focuses on the enhancement of maskless photolithography as well as the peptide synthesis application with single crystalline silicon micromirrors. A single crystalline silicon micromirror array has been designed and fabricated in order to improve its application to the peptide synthesis. A micromirror rotates about ${\pm}\;9^{\circ}$ at the pull-in voltage, which can range from 90.7 V to 115.1 V. A $210\;{\mu}m-by-210\;{\mu}m$ micromirror device with $270\;{\mu}m$ mirror pitch meets the requirements of an adequately precise separation for peptide synthesis. Synthetic 16 by 16 peptide array corresponds to the same number of micromirrors. The large size of peptide pattern and the separation facilitate biochip experiments using fluorescence assay. The peptide pattern has been synthesized on the GPTS-PEG200 surface with BSA-blocking and thereupon the background was acetylated to reject non-specific bindings. Hence, an averaged slope at the pattern edge has been distinguishably improved in comparison to patterning results from an aluminum micromirror.

In this paper, a new dynamic reference scheme is proposed to improve the read voltage margin better than the previous static reference scheme. The proposed dynamic reference scheme can be helpful in compensating not only the background pattern dependence but also the cell position dependence. The proposed dynamic reference is verified by simulating the CMOS-memristor hybrid circuit using the practical CMOS SPICE and memristor Verilog-A models. In the simulation, the percentage read voltage margin is compared between the previous static reference scheme and the new dynamic reference scheme. Assuming that the critical percentage of read voltage margin is 5%, the memristor array size with the dynamic scheme can be larger by 60%, compared to the array size with the static one. In addition, for the array size of $64{\times}64$, the interconnect resistance in the array with the dynamic scheme can be increased by 30% than the static reference one. For the array size of $128{\times}128$, the interconnect resistance with the proposed scheme can be improved by 38% than the previous static one, allowing more margin on the variation of interconnect resistance.

The array patterns of a patch array antenna were calculated using an active element pattern (AEP) method that considers ground edge effects. The classical equivalent radiation model of the patch antenna, which is characterized by two radiating slots, was adopted, and the AEPs that include mutual coupling were precisely calculated using full-wave simulated S-parameters. To improve the accuracy of the calculation, the edge diffraction of a ground plane was incorporated into AEP using the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction. The array patterns were then calculated on the basis of the computed AEPs. The array patterns obtained through the conventional AEP approach and the AEP method that takes ground edge effects into account were compared with the findings derived through full-wave simulations conducted using a High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and FEKO software. Results showed that the array patterns calculated using the proposed AEP method are more accurate than those derived using the conventional AEP technique, especially under a small number of array elements or under increased steering angles.
