Metal nanowires can be coated on various substrates to create transparent conducting films that can potentially replace the dominant transparent conductor, indium tin oxide, in displays, solar cells, organic light-emitting diodes, and electrochromic windows. One issue with these metal nanowire based transparent conductive films is that the resistance between the nanowires is still high because of their low aspect ratio. Here, we demonstrate high-performance transparent conductive films with silver nanofiber networks synthesized by a low-cost and scalable electrospinning process followed by two-step sequential thermal treatments. First, the PVP/AgNO3 precursor nanofibers, which have an average diameter of 208 nm and are several thousands of micrometers in length, were synthesized by the electrospinning process. The thermal behavior and the phase and morphology evolution in the thermal treatment processes were systematically investigated to determine the thermal treatment atmosphere and temperature. PVP/AgNO3 nanofibers were transformed stepwise into PVP/Ag and Ag nanofibers by two-step sequential thermal treatments (i.e., 150˚C in H2 for 0.5 h and 300˚C in Ar for 3 h); however, the fibrous shape was perfectly maintained. The silver nanofibers have ultrahigh aspect ratios of up to 10000 and a small average diameter of 142 nm; they also have fused crossing points with ultra-low junction resistances, which result in high transmittance at low sheet resistance.
ZrN nanoparticles were prepared by an exothermic reduction of ZrCl4 with NaN3 in the presence of NaCl flux in a nitrogen atmosphere. Using a solid-state combustion approach, we have demonstrated that the zirconium nitride nanoparticles synthesis process can be completed in only several minutes compared with a few hours for previous synthesis approaches. The chemistry of the combustion process is not complex and is based on a metathesis reaction between ZrCl4 and NaN3. Because of the low melting and boiling points of the raw materials it was possible to synthesize the ZrN phase at low combustion temperatures. It was shown that the combustion temperature and the size of the particles can be readily controlled by tuning the concentration of the NaCl flux. The results show that an increase in the NaCl concentration (from 2 to 13 M) results in a temperature decrease from 1280 to 750˚C. ZrN nanoparticles have a high surface area (50-70 m2/g), narrow pore size distribution, and nano-particle size between 10 and 30 nm. The activation energy, which can be extracted from the experimental combustion temperature data, is: E = 20 kcal/mol. The method reported here is self-sustaining, rapid, and can be scaled up for a large scale production of a transition metal nitride nanoparticle system (TiN, TaN, HfN, etc.) with suitable halide salts and alkali metal azide.
대공간 구조시스템의 하나인 스페이스 프레임 구조는 종횡의 부재가 3차원적으로 연결되어 입체적으로 외부 힘에 저항하는 구조로써 높은 강성을 갖는다. 또한 균등한 응력 분담이 가능하도록 설계되는 스페이스 프레임 고유의 역학적 특성에 기인하여 경량화가 가능하다. 스페이스 프레임의 구조안정 문제는 구조물의 여러 가지 조건에 따라 결정되며 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 기하학적 형태에 따른 래티스 돔의 동적구조불안정 특성을 알아보기 위해 2-자유 절점 구조물을 통해 스페이스 프레임의 붕괴 메터니즘을 파악하고, 기하학적 형태에 따라 Star Dome, Parallel Lamella Dome, 3-Way Grid Dome을 모델로 선택하여 동일레벨의 주기성이 없는 STEP 하중에 의한 동적외력 하에서의 라이즈-스팬(μ)비 및 형상불완전에 따른 불안정 거동 특성을 알아본다.
Rorabaugh(1953)에 의해 재정리된 단계양수시험 해석해 sw = B C p 는 단열암반대수층에서 비선형 으로 증가하는 수위강하에 매우 적합하며, 현장에서 관측된 수위강하 값과 추정된 수위강하 사이의 제곱 근 평균제곱오차(RMSE) 값이 매우 낮음을 보여주었다. 우물수두손실(C p )의 C 값은 3.689×10-19 5.825 ×10-7, P 값은 3.459 8.290의 범위로 산정되었으며, 지표로부터 하부심도로 내려 갈수록 양수율 증가에따른 수위강하는 매우 크게 나타났다. 단열암반대수층에서의 우물수두손실은 다공질매질에서와 달리 단 열특성(단열의 틈, 간격, 상호 연결성)에 의한 영향으로 나타나므로, 우물수두손실의 C 와 P 값은 단열암 반대수층의 난류구간과 고·저 투수성 단열암반의 특성을 해석하는데 매우 중요하다. 그 결과, 우물수두 손실 항의 C 와 P 값에 대한 회귀분석 결과로부터 암반대수층의 난류구간과 수리특성의 관계가 파악되었 으며, C 와 P 값의 관계가 단열암반대수층의 수리특성 해석에 있어 매우 유용함을 확인할 수 있었다.
침지식 막결합형 연속회분식 생물반응기에서 폐수의 도입단계가 제거효율과 여과성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 호기성 단계의 초기에 공급할 경우(Mode-1)와 무산소 단계의 초기에 공급할 경우(Mode-2)에 대하여 89일 동안 동시에 운전하였다. COD 제거효율과 여과성능은 2가지 운전방식 간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러나 영양염류(총질소와 총인)의 제거효율에 있어서 Mode-2가 Mode-1에 비해 보다 효과적이었다. Mode-2의 경우 COD, 총질소 및 총인의 제거율은 각각 99.1, 73.3 및 77.7%이었다.
진보성은 특허성을 결정짓는 핵심적인 특허 요건이나 판단 기준이 애매하고 복잡하여 한 마디로 정리하기는 어렵다. 우리나라에서는 진보성을 판단함에 있어, 당해 발명의 구성, 효과, 목적을 중심으로 판단하고, 2차적 고려사항을 보충적으로 고려한다. 진보성의 판단이 특허 제도의 목적인 산업발전에 기여하기 위하여는 발명의 동기를 고취하여야 한다. 발명가가 미리 발명의 거절 여부를 알지 못하면 발명의 동기가 부여되기 어렵다. 발명가가 발명에 앞서 특허 거절 여부에 대한 윤곽을 알 수 있도록 진보성 판단의 객관성과 예측가능성이 확보되어야 한다. 미국은 Graham 요건과 TSM(Teaching, Suggestion, Motivation) 기준을 주된 비자명성 판단 기준으로 삼고 있다. KSR International Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 127 S.Ct. 1727 (2007) 판결에서 미연방대법원은 비자명성 판단에 있어 엄격한 기준이 아닌 유연한 적용의 원칙을 천명하였다. KSR 판결의 유연한 기준은 우리나라에서의 진보성 판단에도 영향을 미쳤다. 유연한 진보성 판단 기준은 진보성 판단의 객관성, 예측가능성의 확보에 취약하여 보완책이 필요하다. 진보성 판단의 객관성 확보를 위하여 사실관계의 정확한 분석과 진보성 판단의 논리 전개에 대한 명확하고 상세한 표시가 있어야 한다는 법리가 필요하다. 미국의 Graham 요건은 혼란스럽던 비자명성 판단 기준을 정리하고 사실 조사의 중요성을 강조함으로써 진보성 판단의 객관성을 제고하기 위하여 등장하였다. 최근 미국에서는 2차적 고려사항의 중요성을 강조하여 필수적 고려사항으로 보아야 한다는 판례의 법리가 등장하였다. 유럽의 과제-해결 접근방식과 “would-could approach”도 진보성 판단의 객관성과 예측가능성을 높이기 위한 과학적인 판단 기준이다. 우리나라 진보성 판단의 객관성 제고를 위하여 Graham 요건, 2차적 고려사항의 필수적 고려, 과제-해결접근방식“, would-could approach”등의 기준을 적극적으로 활용하여야 한다. 또한, 진보성 판단의 객관성 확보를 위하여 진보성 판단의 경계와 범위를 명확히 하여야 하고, 이를 위하여 인접한 특허 요건들과의 관계에 대한 연구도 필요하다 할 것이다.
Flat rolling of wire is an industrial process used to manufacture electrical flat wire, medical catheters, springs, piston segments and automobile parts, among other products. In a multi-step wire flat rolling process, a wire with a circular crosssection is rolled at room temperature between two flat rolls in several passes to achieve the desired thickness to width ratio. To manufacture a flat wire with a homogeneous microstructure, mechanical and metallurgical properties with an appropriate pass schedule, this study investigated the effect of each pass schedule (1stand ~ 4stand) on the microstructures, mechanical properties and widths of cold rolled high carbon steel wires using four-pass flat rolling process. The evolutions of the microstructures and mechanical properties of the widths of cold rolled wires during three different pass schedules of the flat rolling process of high carbon wires were investigated, and the results were compared with those for a conventional eight-pass schedule. In the width of cold rolled wires, three different pass schedules are clearly distinguished and discussed. The experimental conditions were the same rolling speed, rolling force, roll size, tensile strength of the material and friction coefficient. The experimental results showed that the four-pass flat cold rolling process was feasible for production of designed wire without cracks when appropriate pass schedules were applied.

One-step dilution and direct transfer would be a practical technique for the field application of frozen embryo. This study was to examine whether Jeju Black Cattle (JBC, Korean Cattle) can be successfully cloned from vitrified and one-tep diluted somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) blastocyst after direct transfer. For vitrification, JBC-SCNT blastocysts were serially exposed in glycerol (G) and ethylene glycol (EG) mixtures〔10% (v/v) G for 5 min., 10% G plus 20% EG (v/v) for 5 min., and 25% G plus 25% EG (v/v) for 30 sec.〕which is diluted in 10% FBS added D-PBS. And then SCNT blastocysts were loaded in 0.25 ml mini straw, placed in cold nitrogen vapor for 3 min. and then plunged into LN2. One-step dilution in straw was done in 25℃ water for 1 min, by placing vertically in the state of plugged- end up and down for 0.5 min, respectively. When in vitro developmental capacity of vitrified SCNT blastocyst was examined at 48 h after one-step dilution, hatched rate (56.4%) was slightly lower than that of control group (62.5%). In field trial, when the vitrified-thawed SCNT blastocysts were transferred into uterus of synchronized 5 recipients, a cloned female JBC was delivered by natural birth on day 299 and healthy at present. In addition, when the short tandem repeat marker analysis of the cloned JBC was evaluated, microsatellite loci of 11 numbers was perfectly matched genotype with donor cell (BK94-14). This study suggested that our developed vitrification and one-step dilution technique can be applied effectively on field trial for cloned animal production, which is even no longer in existence.
Step feed process was analyzed stoichiometrically for the optimal operation conditions in this study. In case of optimal operation conditions, minimum R (sludge recycling) value, r (internal recycling ratio) value, and n (influent allocation ratio) value for the step feed process to acquire the maximum TN removal efficiency were identified by theoretical analysis. Maximum TN removal efficiency, based on stoichiometric reaction, can be obtained by controlling n value for the step feed process.
The Cu nanofluid in ethylene glycol was prepared by electrical explosion of wire, a novel one-step method. The X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope were used to study the properties of Cu nanoparticles. The results showed that the nanoparticles were consisted of pure face-centered cubic structure and near spherical shape with average grain size of 65 nm. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) confirmed Cu nanoparticles with a single absorbance peak of Cu surface plasmon resonance band at 600 nm. The nanofluid was found to be stable due to high positive zeta potential value, +51 mV. The backscattering level of nanofluid in static stationary was decreased about 2% for 5 days. The thermal conductivity measurement showed that Cu-ethylene glycol nanofluid with low concentration of nanoparticles had higher thermal conductivity than based fluid. The enhancement of thermal conductivity of nanofluid at a volume fraction of 0.1% was approximately 5.2%.
쉘형 구조물의 동적 불안정 문제를 다룬 연구결과는 다소 발표되고 있으나 위상곡면을 이용하여 카오스 생성에 관한 기본적 현상을 다룬 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 동적 비선형 문제에서 여러 가지 초기조건에 의해 불안정 현상이 민감하게 발생하는 이유를 파악하기 위해서는 위상곡면에서 끌개의 특성을 조사하여 동적 불안정 생성과정을 검토하는 일은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 얕은 EP 쉘이 스텝하중을 받을 때, 직접 좌굴과 간접 좌굴의 발생 경로를 파악하기 위하여 Galerkin 법에 의해 전개된 이산화 방정식을 구한다. 이를 수치해석 기법으로 위상곡선과 연속응답스펙트럼을 구해 동적 불안정 특성을 규명한다.
In this study we investigated the effect of the multi-step texturing process on the electrical and optical properties of hydrogenated Al-doped zinc oxide (HAZO) thin films deposited by rf magnetron sputtering. AZO films on glass were prepared by changing the H2/(Ar+H2) ratio at a low temperature of 150˚C. The prepared HAZO films showed lower resistivity and higher carrier concentration and mobility than those of non-hydrogenated AZO films. After deposition, the surface of the HAZO films was multi-step textured in diluted HCl (0.5%) for the investigation of the change in the optical properties and the surface morphology due to etching. As a result, the HAZO film fabricated under the type III condition showed excellent optical properties with a haze value of 52.3%.
One of the popular domestic sewage treatment process (called step feed oxic-anoxic-oxic process) for nitrogen removal was analyzed in this study by theoretical analysis based on the nitrification and denitrification reaction. Total nitrogen removal efficiency was suggested by considering influent qualities(i.e., ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity, and COD). Total nitrogen removal efficiency depends on r (influent allocation ratio). In the case that all influent components are enough, the total nitrogen removal follows equation 100-b/(1+b), when r is 1/(1+b). Finally, it can be concluded that step feed oxic-anoxic-oxic process could be effective for nitrogen removal.
Nano magnetite particles have been prepared by two step reaction consisting of urea hydrolysis and ammonia addition at certain ranges of pH. Three different concentrations of aqueous solution of ferric () and ferrous () chloride (0.3 M-0.6 M, and 0.9 M) were mixed with 4 M urea solution and heated to induce the urea hydrolysis. Upon reaching at a certain pre-determined pH (around 4.7), 1 M ammonia solution were poured into the heated reaction vessels. In order to understand the relationship between the concentration of the starting solution and the final size of magnetite, in-situ pH measurements and quenching experiments were simultaneous conducted. The changes in the concentration of starting solution resulted in the difference of the threshold time for pH uprise, from I hour to 3 hours, during which the akaganeite (-FeOOH) particles nucleated and grew. Through the quenching experiment, it was confirmed that controlling the size of -FeOOH and the attaining a proper driving force for the reaction of -FeOOH and ion to give are important process variables for the synthesis of uniform magnetite nanoparticles.
Recently, there is a rise of accident by some defective products, especially it reported that a serious fact is a defect of design causing some problem since execute a product liability(PL), people who use products have been able to bo remunerated for a damage to those defects, so responsibilities of companies are rising more and more. Therefore, companies that are obligated to manufacture a safety product, and should make preparation for PL. For solving the problem, even though manufacturers tried to make a safety product ay mixed ways, it is seldom that its safety is considered from planning a design. This thesis has suggested a way aimed at improving a safety of products through considering a stage of a plan, by searching and analyzing the design-process in to each steps.
