Recently, the bio-healthcare market is enlarging worldwide due to various reasons such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, biometric measurement and analysis technology are expected to bring about future technological innovation and socio-economic ripple effect. Existing systems require a large-capacity battery to drive signal processing, wireless transmission part, and an operating system in the process. However, due to the limitation of the battery capacity, it causes a spatio-temporal limitation on the use of the device. This limitation can act as a cause for the disconnection of data required for the user's health care monitoring, so it is one of the major obstacles of the health care device. In this study, we report the concept of a standalone healthcare monitoring module, which is based on both triboelectric effects and electromagnetic effects, by converting biomechanical energy into suitable electric energy. The proposed system can be operated independently without an external power source. In particular, the wireless foot pressure measurement monitoring system, which is rationally designed triboelectric sensor (TES), can recognize the user's walking habits through foot pressure measurement. By applying the triboelectric effects to the contact-separation behavior that occurs during walking, an effective foot pressure sensor was made, the performance of the sensor was verified through an electrical output signal according to the pressure, and its dynamic behavior is measured through a signal processing circuit using a capacitor. In addition, the biomechanical energy dissipated during walking is harvested as electrical energy by using the electromagnetic induction effect to be used as a power source for wireless transmission and signal processing. Therefore, the proposed system has a great potential to reduce the inconvenience of charging caused by limited battery capacity and to overcome the problem of data disconnection.

A high-efficiency electronic ballast for HID lamps is presented. The ballast consists of a PFC and a resonant inverter. To reduce losses of the ballast, DC link voltage should be determined by taking into account the peak voltage of lamp and the maximum flux density should be kept 0.2[T] on all of inductors. AR inductor at bridge diode is employed in order to remove currant harmonics from PFC. An inductor is connected in series with an electrolytic capacitor at DC link to reject high-frequency current. The acoustic resonance is eliminated using the stead spectrum technique. The electronic ballast for 250[W] metal-halide discharge lamp is implemented and 96[%] efficiency, no acoustic resonance and low conducted EMI level are accomplished.

Recently, from a global perspective, the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles in terrorism and warfare is increasing, and the need for anti-drone shooting training targeting small UAVs is increasing. However, in reality, there are many cases in Korea where anti-drone shooting training is restricted, due to complaints such as noise. In this paper, we describe the development and testing of an electric-powered direct strike type high-speed, low-noise small aerial target drone. To achieve the flight speed and endurance required for shooting training, target drone sizing was performed, and aerodynamic performance analysis was conducted using a CFD program. Based on the performance analysis, the motor propulsion system was selected and a variable pitch propeller system was designed, and performance tests were performed on a ground test rig. Finally, the target flight speed, flight time, and flight noise level were confirmed through flight tests.

현재 전 세계는 앞으로 사용 될 대체 에너지에 많은 관심 가지고 있다. 지금 사용하고 있는 에너지 연료는 한정되어 있기 때문에 대체에너지에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 그 중 압전체를 이용한 에너지 하베스팅은 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 주변 환경에서 필요한 에너지를 끌어 쓸 수 있는 대표적인 청정에너지 시스템 중 하나이기 때문이다. 최근 전원 공급원으로써 에너지 수확 시스템은 현 사회에 사용되고 있는 배터리로 전원을 사용하는 제품들을 소용량과 저전압 분야에서의 에너지 수확의 원리를 이용하여 전기전자제품의 사용시간 연장 및 응용분야 확대를 시도하는 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 압전세라믹스를 이용한 에너지 하베스팅은 진동에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 것으로서 압전 특성이 높아야 한다. 일반적으로 압전 세라믹스는 PbO 성분이 들어가므로 환경적 오염 뿐만 아니라 인체에도 영향이 좋지 않으므로 많은 나라에서 이러한 성분을 제한하고 점차적으로 줄어들고 있는 시점에서 PbO를 사용하지 않고 Lead-Free 세라믹를 사용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 일반적인 소결 방법을 이용하여 (Na,K)NbO3 세라믹에 CeO2를 첨가한 압전 세라믹을 제작하였다. 제작된 압전 세라믹스로 에너지 하베스팅 소자를 제작하고, 이 소자로 수확된 에너지로 DC-DC Converter 응용 특성에 대하서 연구하였다. 압전 세라믹스의 좋은 압전 특성을 출력하기 위하여 캔틸레버의 고유 진동수가 진동원의 주파수와 일치하는 공진을 일으켜야 한다. 따라서 구동회로는 주파수원을 찾아 설계하였고, 압전 세라믹스의 진동은 가진기를 이용하여 구동실험을 하였다. 지금까지 나와있던 에너지 하베스팅 회로와 비교하여 그 특성을 분석하고, 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

Data transfer rate and storage capacity are main criteria of the performance of the optical disk drive. The highest data transfer rate and the largest storage capacity is most desirable. To increase these performances, the actuator of the optical disk drive should have a high servo bandwidth to compensate the vibration of an optical disk. The servo bandwidth is limited by some flexible modes of the actuator, thus it is essential to increase the natural frequencies of the flexible modes. In this paper, we suggested a moving magnet type actuator having high frequencies of the flexible modes. Generally, the moving magnet type actuator has an advantage to increase the natural frequencies of the flexible modes because the moving magnet type actuator has simple structure and the Young's modulus of magnet is high. However, large moving mass and inefficiency of EM(electromagnetic) circuit cut down driving sensitivities of the actuator. To improve driving sensitivities, we designed the model with the closed electromagnetic circuit for tracking direction. In addition, driving sensitivities and the natural frequencies of the flexible modes were improved by using DOE(design of experiments) for electromagnetic circuit and modifying the lens holder.

This paper presents a comparison of different current controller response characteristics of SRM. The most common current controllers of the SRM is hysteresis type. The hysteresis controller is easy to implement and fast current control response, but has the inherent disadvantage of switching frequency variations. The other common type of current controller is PI scheme. The design of a classical PI current controller with fixed parameters for SRM is not an easy task due to the extreme nonlinear characteristics. In this paper, some linearization technique is used for design of PI current controller. Experimental results of 1-hp SRM are presented for the basic reference data which can be used to select the proper current control scheme according to the applications.

J2ME mobile programs have been widely used as mobile devices like mobile phones become popular. Efficient use of resources in mobile programs is very important because mobile programs are executed in mobile environment with insufficient resources. Moreover, most J2ME programs are event-driven, so effective event handling is important for reliability and efficient use of resource. In this research, we develop a dynamic event analysis system, which can show event handling in real-time. In this system, users can trace only interesting events by selecting some options, and can get event profile after execution.

급속한 첨단기술의 발전으로 인해 차세대 정보산업의 핵심 기술은 사용자의 편의를 바탕으로 필요에 따라 형태가 변환되어 휴대 또는 착용이 가능하고 다양한 기능이 융합된 전자소자의 기술을 개발 하는 것이다. 현재까지는 이를 구현하기 위해 저분자, 고분자 반도체 및 박막형 무기 반도체를 이용하여 신축 가능한 소자를 구현 하였으나 기존 소재들의 제한적인 물성으로 인해 그 연구가 한계를 다다르고 있다. 이에 반해 신소재 그래핀은 우수한 기계적, 전기적 및 광학적 특징을 동시에 가지고 있는 물질로써 유연 소자분야에 적합한 재료로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 뛰어난 그래핀의 특성에도 불구하고 소자를 구성하는 다른 요소인 기판, 유전막 등의 물성적 한계로 인하여 신축 가능한 소자제작을 위해서는 아직도 많은 과제가 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) 고무기판 위에 전해질 유전막을 도입하여 신축 가능하고 투명한 그래핀 트렌지스터를 구현하였다. 에어로졸 프린팅 방법으로 상온에서 형성 된 전해질 유전막은 높은 정전용량으로 인해 3V이하의 낮은 전압에서도 소자가 구동하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 1100 과 420 $cm^2/Vs$의 높은 정공과 전자의 이동도를 나타내었다. 뿐만 아니라 이러한 전기적 특성은 외부에 가해지는 5%의 응력 및 1000회의 피로도 테스트 후에도 안정적인 거동을 보이는 매우 우수한 탄성특성을 보였다.
