According to increase in the use of the LED, the demand for low power consumption LED display design of the controller block has increased. In this paper, the low power LED controller block was designed through the power source supply that leads adiabatic operation from constant current source circuit operated by digital signal control. The proposed circuit was implemented using a 0.35um CMOS process. and it demonstrated linear operation of the circuit. From the simulation result, the proposed circuit was evaluated with about 82% power consumption reduction effect in comparison with conventional LED controller block. This research is expected to be helpful for the low power operation and the solution for heat problem of LED display.

지구관측용 광학탑재체를 탑재한 저궤도위성은 내부부품보호를 위해 표면처리와 같은 수동적 기법과 히터동작과 같은 능동적 기법을 함께 사용을 한다. 내부열손실을 막기 위해 위성외부의 거의 모든 부분을 단열재(MLI)로 감싸게 되며, 각 단열재는 견고하게 고정이 된다. 광학탑재체는 구성품의 보호와 최적성능의 영상획득을 위해 다수의 히터가 장착되는데, 각 히터는 가열대상물의 온도를 실시간으로 측정하여 미리 설정된 On/Off 온도를 기준으로 제어가 된다. 궤도상에서 탑재체가 겪게 되는 다양한 궤도열환경 시나리오에 대한 열해석결과를 이용하여 히터의 위치, 용량 및 제어온도가 결정된다. 궤도상 운용 중, 위성을 보호하는 단열재 사이에 미세한 틈이 발생한 가상적인 상황을 가정하여, 탑재체 히터의 임무주기변화와 탑재체 운용에의 영향을 분석한다.

In this paper, the low-power clock generator synchronized with the AC power signal using the adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic (ADCL) buffer is proposed for adiabatic logics. To reduce the power dissipation in conventional CMOS logic and to maintain adiabatic charging and discharging with low power for the ADCL, the clock signal of logic circuits should be synchronized with the AC power source. The clock signal for an adiabatic charging and discharging with the AC power signal was generated with the designed Schmitt trigger circuit and ADCL frequency divider using the ADCL buffer. From the simulation result, the power consumption of the proposed clock generator was estimated with approximately 1.181uW and 37.42uW at output 3kHz and 10MHz respectively.

본 연구에서는 금속 원자를 단열 팽창시켜 클러스터를 만들고, 생성된 클러스터를 이온화시킨 후 집속렌즈 및 electric quadrupole을 이용하여 기판으로 증착 하였다. 집속렌즈의 설계에서는 단일 초점 방식의 렌즈보다 성능을 높이기 위하여 이중 초점과 핀홀을 써서 집속 효과 및 효율을 높였다. 렌즈의 설계는 일반적으로 하전입자의 에너지 손실 없이 집속할수 있는 Einzel 렌즈를 기본으로 하였으며, SIMION software 를 사용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 후 실제 렌즈계 및 정전압원을 제작하여 금(Au)의 클러스터를 생성하여 렌즈계를 통과한 후 실제 기판위로 증착이 되는 것을 AFM(Atomic force microscopy)과 XPS(X-ray photoemission spectroscopy)를 이용해 조사하여 렌즈계가 실제로 동작함을 확인하였다.

Natural gas vehicles are being applied to city buses for improving air quality in metropolitan and have proved the effective way to reduce the pollutant emissions. Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) has also attempted a vehicle fuel in order to raise the fuel storage density that is a disadvantage of Compressed Natural Gas(CNG). This paper described insulation characteristic of a LNG storage tank. From the results, adiabatic coefficient of a tested tank was around $40J/h{\cdot}^{\circ}C{\cdot}m^2$ and it was the lower level than gas safety regulation limit. Two experimental methods were adopted to justify the evaluation results and they were revealed that the results were very similar to each other. Also, through testing relief valve operation characteristic it was investigated venting amount of boiled off gas.

The microseismic monitoring system with wide range of frequency has been operating in real time and it is remotely monitored at indoor and on-site for one year. This system was constructed and established in order to secure the safe and effective operation of the KAERI Underground Research Tunnel(KURT). For one year monitoring work, total 14 events were recorded in the vicinity of the KURT, and the majority of events are regarded as ultramicroseismic earthquake and artificial impacts around the tunnel. The major event is the magnitude 3.4 earthquake which was centered around Gongju city, Chungnam Province. It means that there is no significant evidence of high frequency microseismic event, which is associated with fracture initiation and/or propagation in the rock mass and shotcrete. Three components sensor was applied in order to analyze and define the direction of vibration as well as an epicenter of microseismic origin, and also properly designed and installed in a small borehole. This monitoring system is able to predict the location and timing of fracturing of rock mass and rock fall around an undreground openings as well as analysis on safety of various kinds of engineering structures such as nuclear facilities and other structures.

In this paper, the thermoacoustic refrigerating system was implemented and its operation was experimentally verified. The system is composed of several parts ,4 inch midrange speaker, speaker housing, chamber, stack housing, stack of plates, heat exchangers, thin pipe and cavity. The system is filled with He gas at 10 bar and contains T-type thermocouples and condenser microphone for measuring the temperature and pressure inside, respectively. In addition, cooling water is used for protecting speaker from thermal destruction and cooling down the hot heat exchanger. For the experimental verification of the implemented refigerating system, electrical impedance and resonance characteristics were measured. The results showed that it was most efficient to drive the system at 340 Hz. When operated at 340 Hz, $30^\circ{C}$ environments and 50 electical watts, the temperature of the cold region decreased by $16^\circ{C}$. The dissatisfaction mainly comes from the incomplete thermal insulation of the cold region. We also pointed out some guidelines to improve the performance for later study.
