STSAT-2 will be launched on December 2007 by the first Korean launch vehicle KSLV-1, and its one of the main instruments is DREAM (Dual Channel Radio Frequency and Environment Atmosphere Monitoring) which detects a signal for atmosphere from the Earth by using micro-wave signal. The STSAT-2 has many units for technology demonstration such as FDSS (Fine Digital Sun Sensor) and DHST (Dual Head Star Tracker) including PPT (Pulsed Plasma Thruster) for attitude control and momentum dumping in the space. In this paper, the power budget analysis for STSAT-2 will be studied and provided for supporting the whole mission life time during the mission of its spacecraft.

This paper considers a power saving technique of set-top box (STB) that turns the signal into content which is then displayed on the television (TV) screen. A traditional power saving scheme, Auto Power Down (APD), was devised to reduce the power consumption of STB. APD checks whether the user is watching TV over a period of time and enforces STB into stand-by mode when the check result reveals the user is not watching TV. This paper proposes an enhanced power saving scheme that transits STB operation mode to 'stand-by' immediately when STB recognizes the change of TV's external input signal. The proposed scheme does not require the monitoring time to check the users' watching TV, and transits to standby mode faster than the conventional APD, which results in better performance in power saving. The simulation result shows that the proposed scheme achieves 2 to 11% improvement in power consumption compared with the conventional APD.

The interleaved power management IC(PMIC) with DTMOS(Dynamic Threshold voltage MOSFET) switching device is proposed in this paper. The buck-boost converter used to provide the high output voltage and low output voltage for portable applications. Also we used the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control method for high power efficiency at high current level. DTMOS with low on-resistance is designed to decrease conduction loss. The interleaved PMIC to reduce output ripple. And step-down DC-DC converter in stand-by mode below 1mA is designed with LDO in order to achive high efficiency.

Airborne in-situ measurements of aerosol/cloud number concentrations were analyzed to investigate the effects of aerosols on warm cloud formation in the Pacific Dust Experiment (PACDEX) during April and May 2007. In the air masses originating from the Asian continent, high concentrations of fine particles including black carbon (BC) were observed when compared to other regions. A strong correlation (r=0.88) between condensation nuclei (CN) having sizes ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 mm ($CN_{0.1-1.0}$) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) at 0.4% supersaturation ($CCN_{0.4%}$) suggests that most of the $CN_{0.1-1.0}$ can contribute to cloud formation. The possibility of a cloud droplet formation by BC particles was expected at the high water vapor mixing ratio (WVMR) and the abundance of water-soluble components at the low altitude less than 3 km.

Recently, emission tests for heavy-duty vehicles have been conducted by heavy-duty engine dynamometer. But, it contains weaknesses that present inconveniences to install and uninstall engines and limitations to reflect on practical characteristics for vehicle driving. On the other hand, chassis dynamometer test is able to differentiate characteristics of real driving patterns due to the reason that vehicles can be examined by utilizing chassis dynamometer. This study aimed at comparing the characteristic of emitting regulatory substances of urban buses on Heavy-duty chassis dynamometer. The characteristic was analyzed based on vehicle speed by using both domestic and overseas developed heavy-duty vehicle test modes. As a result, this work attempted to investigate possibilities to take advantage of Heavy-duty vehicle test modes as a method to manage emissions from heavy-duty vehicles.

The conventional 1 Hall sensor-type water gauge has some defects that it can not detect counterflow and low-speed flow of water, and it also generates power consumption during even sleep mode. In this paper, a low-power consumption wireless digital remote water gauge with a counterflow detection capability is proposed. The proposed water gauge detects the direction and amount of water flow by using the three Hall sensors placed at $120^{\circ}$ intervals with 8-year national standard life durability. The water gauge with three Hall sensors works without error regardless of water speed does not generate power dissipation during sleep mode by presented reading algorithm for bew water gauge. The proposed water gauge is designed to send its ID, current time and counting value to repeater or central control center with specified frequency by RF Module.

Far-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS) is the main payload of the Korea's first scientific micro satellite STSAT-1, which was launched at Sep. 27 2003 successfully. Major objective of FIMS is observing hot gas in the Galaxy in FUV bands to diagnose the energy flow models of the interstellar medium. Supernova remnants, molecular clouds, and Aurora emission in the geomagnetic pole regions are specific targets for pointing observation. Although the whole system was calibrated before launch, it is essential to perform on-orbit calibration for data analysis. For spectral calibration, we observed airglow lines in the atmosphere since they provide good spectral references. We identify and compare the observed airglow lines with model calculations, and correct the spectral distortion appeared in the detector system to improve the spectral resolution of the system.

This paper suggests the advanced reliability assessment tool for railway signaling Hot-Standby sparing system. Existing reliability assessment for Hot-Standby sparing system controller is done by using single module mean failure rate based on approximated Hot standby sparing system function. Although approximated Hot standby sparing system function can be applied to various Hot standby sparing system, however, it is not able to reflect the exact system structure. In this paper, we suggest the advanced reliability function by identifying changeover-related failure factors and common failure mode which is not considered in existing approximated Hot standby sparing system reliability function via developing Hot standby sparing system model for railway signaling and applying FMECA to this model. Also. we compare reliability assessment results for model system to reliability assessment for existing system.

AlGaN/GaInN 이중이종접합구조(double heterostructure :DH)를 대기압 유기금속기상에 피텍셜(MOVPE)법으로 AIN 와충층을 이용하여 사파이어 기판위에 성장하고, 실온에서의 광여기법에 의한 청색영역의 단면모드 유도방출특성과 편광특성을 조사하였다. 여기광원의 광밀도가 증가함에 따라 청색 영역에서의 유도방출 피크는 낮은 에너지 쪽으로 이동하였고, 유도방출 피크파장은 여기광밀도가 200kW/$cm^{2}$일때 402nm 이었으며, 스펙트럼의 반치폭은 18meV 이었다. 또한 유도방출에 필요한 여기광밀도의 임계치는 130 kW/$cm^{2}$ 이었다. AlGaN/GaInN로부터 방출되는 유도방출 광은 임계치 이상에서 TE-mode로 편광 되었다.
