Lee I.Y., Lee J.B., Lee S.M., Kim D.W., Kim M.H., Lee I.Y., Lee J.B., Lee S.M., Lee I.Y., Lee J.B., Lee S.M., Kim D.W., Kim M.H., Ham S.W., Kyungil University, KR

In the present study, the performance of SCR catalyst for the oxidation of mercury was studied to understand the mechanism of mercury oxidation on SCR catalyst. A variety of V2O5-based TiO2 catalysts was evaluated for [...]

Design and Analysis of a Small Scale Generator for the Portable Power Pack

Jeong H.G., Jeong N.J., Kim K.C., Jeong H.G., Jeong N.J., Lee J-H., Korea Institute of Energy Research, KR

In this paper, a small linear reciprocating engine and generator are designed and tested for a portable power pack. If an engine is used solely to produce electrical power in a portable power pack, it [...]

Control Strategies for Personal Rapid Transit System

Lee J-H., Korea Railroad Research Institute, KR

This paper presents a control system design for personal rapid transit (PRT) system and a configuration of apparatus to assess its control scheme. The control system can be divided into two parts: one is for [...]

New Finite Element Method Modeling for contractile Forces of Cardiomyocytes on Hybrid Biopolymer Microcantilevers

Na K., Kim J., Yang S., Yoon E-S, Yoon Y.M., Yoon E-S, Yoon Y.M., Korea Institute of Science and Technology, KR

Measurement of magnitude and frequency of cardiomyocyte contraction is significant not only for real-time monitoring of the toxicity of chemicals on cardiomyocyte, but also for understanding of the mechanisms of heart failure. Researches on measuring [...]

Molecular Simulation of the Nanoscale Water Confined between an Atomic Force Microscope Tip and a Surface

Choi H.J., Kim J-Y, Hong S.D., Ha M.Y., Jang J., Pusan National University, KR

Under ambient humidity, water condenses as a meniscus between an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip and a surface, giving rise to a strong capillary force on the tip. We performed a molecular dynamics simulation of [...]

Fabrication of nanoscale nozzle for electrostatic field induced inkjet head and test of drop-on-demand operation

Nguyen V.D., Byun D., Bui S., Tran Q., Schrlau M., Bau H.H., Lee S., Konkuk University, KR

Printing technology is considered to be a key technology even in the fields of electronics, materials processing, and biotechnology. However there is a genuine need for nano-to-macro integration technology for printing. This paper presents the [...]

Ultra-thin gold membrane transducer

Kim H., Kim Y., Cha M., Kim H., Kim Y., Lee J., Lee S., Shin J., Lee J., Lee S., Seoul National University, KR

This work deals with ultra-thin metal-based nanomechenical transducers that have potentials for extraordinary sensitivity. This nano membrane transducer (NMT) consists of a flat thin film of gold with 30-60 nm thickness freely suspended over large [...]

Electrokinetic Flows in Highly Charged Micro/Nanochannel with Newtonian Boundary Slip Condition

Chun M.-S., Yun J.H., Kim T-H., Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), KR

The physics of micro/nanofluids has become an area of intense interest both scientifically and technologically. The long-range nature of viscous flows and the small dimension inherent in confined spaces imply that the influence of boundaries [...]

Lateral-Driven Continuous Dielectrophoretic Separation Technology for Blood Cells suspended in a Highly Conductive Medium

Seo J., Jung J., Jung Y., Han K-H, Han S-I., Han K-H, Han S-I., Jung J., Jung Y., Bruno Frazier A., Inje University, KR

This paper presents lateral-driven continuous dielectrophoretic (DEP) microseparator for separating red and white blood cells suspended in a highly conductive dilute whole blood. The DEP microseparators enable the separation of blood cells with continuous operation [...]

Discrete Volume Controllable Microdispenser Module

Lee J., Lee S., Lee J., Lee S., Seoul National University, KR

We report a microdispenser that can meter and mix sub-nanoliter liquids in a discrete quantity. Our device is based on the structural stopping valve used in passive dispensers. A vent channel was proposed, designed for [...]
