This experiment was conducted to find out the effect of artificial light sources(high-pressure sodium lamp, metal halide lamp and fluorescent lamp) on growth of crisphead lettuce(Lactuca sativa L.) in a plant factory. No significant differences in leaf fresh and dry weight were presented among them. Lettuce plants grown under fluorescent lamp showed the lowest growth. Considering the growth of lettuce and efficiency of lamps, it is worth using HPS(high-pressure sodium) lamp in plant factories. The leaves of lettuce plants grown under artificial light sources showed tipburn symptoms at 14th day after transplanting. The beginning of tipburn symptom have been seen on the ninth to tenth leaves from the cotyledons. It is estimated that the occurrence of tipburn was related to rapid growth and K uptake of the lettuce Plants. The Ca, Mg. Cu and Zn elements tended to be accumulated in the nutrient solutions but the T-N, P, Fe and Mn elements keep in balance in them.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of radial heat sink used for high power LED lightings by natural convection cooling with surrounding air. Experimental and numerical analyses are carried out together. Parametric studies are performed to compare the effects of geometric parameters in radial heat sink such as the number of fins, fin height, fin length, and thickness of fin base as well as the surface coatings of radial heat sink. In this study, the cooling of 60 W LED lamp is examined with radiative heat transfer considered as well as natural convection. Numerical results show the optimum condition when the number of fin is 40, heat sink height is 120 mm, fin length is 15 mm, and fin base thickness is 3 mm. The difference in temperature of the LED metal PCB is within $1^{\circ}C$ between numerical analyses and experimental results. Also, the CNT coating on the heat sink surface is found to increase the cooling performance significantly.

FPD (Flat Panel Display) 제조 공정에서 사용되는 패턴은 수 ${\mu}m$ 수준까지 감소하였으며, FPD의 크기는 급격하게 대형화 되여 현재 8세대(2200mm*2500mm)에 이르고 있다. 이에 따라, $1\;{\mu}m$ 이상의 크기를 갖는 오염입자에 의한 수율 저하를 극복하기 위한 세정효율의 향상 및 다량의 초순수 사용에 따른 폐수 발생으로 인한 환경오염, 또한 장비의 크기에 따른 공간 효용성 감소와 이에 따른 공정 비용의 증가 등의 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 따라서, 현장에서는 고효율, 저비용의 세정 공정 기술 개발에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결 하고자 이류체 노즐 세정 장치와, 화학액 린스를 위한 초순수 Spray, 건조 공정에 해당하는 Air-knife, Halogen lamp로 구성된 소형화 된 고속 FPD(Flat Panel Display) 세정기에 대한 연구를 진행 하였다. 이류체 노즐은 초순수와 $N_2$ 가스를 내부에서 혼합하여 액적(Droplet)을 형성하여 고압으로 분사시키는 장치로서 화학액을 사용하지 않고 물리적인 방법으로 오염입자를 제거한다. Spray는 유기 오염입자 제거를 위한 오존수의 린스 공정을 위해 설치 하였다. 세정 후 표면에 남아있는 기판의 액막(water film)은 고압의 가스를 분사하는 Air-knife를 통해 제거하였으며, 고속 공정시 발생할 수 있는 Air-knife에서 제거하지 못한 잔류 액막을 Halogen lamp를 사용하여 효과적으로 제거함으로써, 물반점(water mark) 없는 건조 공정을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험에는 미세 입자의 정량적인 측정을 위하여 유리 기판 대신에 6인치 실리콘 웨이퍼(P-type (100))를 사용하였으며, > $\;1{\mu}m$ 실리카 입자를 스핀방식을 사용하여 정량적으로 균일하게 오염하였으며, 오염물의 개수 및 분포는 파티클 스캐너 (Surfscan 6200, KLA-Tancor, USA)를 사용하여 분포 및 개수를 정량적으로 측정 하였다. 이류체 노즐은 $N_2$ 가스의 압력과 초순수의 압력을 변화시켜 측정하여, 각각 0.20 MPa, 0.01 MPa에서 최적의 세정 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 건조 효율은 Air-Knife의 입사 각도와 건조면 간격, 할로겐 램프의 온도를 조절 하여 최적의 조건을 얻을 수 있었다.

We developed the stamper structured mold with moving core type with nano pattern. Among the factors affecting the quality of injection molding plastic parts, We studied the effects of moving core surface heating method on the transcription of injection molding plastic parts with nano structures. Moving core surface heating has been tested by three different methods. The first was conventional injection molding process without heating moving core surface, the second was halogen lamp radiation heating process and the last was MmSH process using gas flame. As a result of making injection molded parts by using thermoplastic amorphous resins such as COC, PMMA, MmSH method which is the most high temperature of moving core surface showed the best nano pattern transcription of the three methods, but the outcome of conventional injection molding process was not better than others.

The conventional CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) inverter used in the backlight unit for LCD-TV, composed of the three power stage, can degrade the whole power conversion efficiency. In this paper, a novel scheme to drive the CCFL, composed only of the two power stage without using a dc/dc power stage, is proposed to enhance the whole power conversion efficiency. By adopting the proposed "4-in-1 Transformer", the current balance and the simultaneous ignition among the four CCFL lamp are assured with the one inverter circuit. The proposed scheme features the simple circuit structure, which can save the volume and the cost in the LCD backlight unit. Design considerations are discussed and design procedures are derived. Experimental results of the proposed scheme for 40" LCD-TV are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis.

In this paper, a portable high efficiency nondispersive infrared(NDIR) $CO_2$ sensor module with a smart device interface is developed. For low power consumption design, an IR LED was used instead of tungsten lamp for light source and an optical waveguide optimized to the sensor module is designed. With the smart device interface, power of the sensor module is applied from the battery of smart phone. The measured data of the sensor module such as $CO_2$ concentration, temperature, and humidity are displayed on the smart phone using android application. From measured results, the developed sensor module shows ${\pm}60ppm$ tolerance error from 0 to 3,000ppm $CO_2$ concentration range among $-10^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ ranges.

In recent, there have been several developments in lamp technology that promise savings in electrical power consumption and improved quality of the lighting space. Above all, the advantage of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp is the removal of internal electrodes and heating filaments that are a light-limiting factor of conventional fluorescent lamps. The ring-shaped electrodeless lamp is intended as a high efficiency replacement for the incandescent reflector lamp in many applications. Therefore, the life time of ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamps is substantially higher than that of conventional fluorescent lamps and last up to 60,000 hours. In this paper, maxwell 3D finite element analysis program(Ansoft) was used to obtain electromagnetic properties associated with the coil and nearby structures. The electromagnetic emitting properties were presented by 3D simulation software operated at 250 KHz and some specific conditions. The optical characteristics were measured luminance and a temperature and an optical spectrum distribution for 10 min in a one minute interval at the same time. With a goal of finding alternative materials, we show measurement results of electrical characteristics of a ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp as a function of frequency and the number of coil turns using a highly permeable($\mu$$_{r}$(equation omitted) 2,000) Mn-Zn ferrite. These results are compared with those of conventional ring-shaped electrodeless fluorescent lamp. It is found that the resistance, inductance and impedance are increased while the quality factor decreases as frequency increases.s.

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of $\lambda$ vibration-mode piezoelectric transformer for applying to CCFL driving inverter was investigated. Piezoelectric transformer was made of PZT - PMN - 0.5wt% $Nb_{2}O_{5}$ composition. As a results of the electrical characteristics of piezoelectric transformer, when applied voltage was $35[V_{rms}]$ in $100[k{\Omega}]$ load resistance, output voltage was about $710[V_{rms}]$ and output power was more than 2[W]. As output power increased, step-up ratio and temperature was very stable until output power was 2.5[W]. Also, Efficiency was maximum in $70[k{\Omega}]$ load resistance, and about 89[%]. Also, when CCFL was used as load, the maintaining voltage was $700[V_{rms}]$ and the luminescence was $2000[cd/m^2]$ in applying $25[V_{rms}]$ to piezoelectric transformer. Conclusively, piezoelectric transformer fabricated in this paper can be applied to piezoelectric inverter for CCFL driving.

20 fossil sites of numerous fossil sites in Korea have been designated as Natural Monument for protection and conservation. Many of the sites which is located at the coastal area have been gradually disfigured by natural weathering, erosion and human activity. Thus the conservation of the original form and the documentation for the original figure are necessary. In this study, we applied 3D digital documentation to Natural Monument No. 394, Haenam Uhangri dinosaur, pterosaur, and bird footprint fossil site, for maintaining the original form of the dinosaur footprints. We were able to obtain the 3D digital data on two dinosaur footprint sites, a high resolution distributional map, and more accurate digital data of the dinosaur footprints applied the rendering method by ambient occlusion. 3D digital data on the dinosaur footprints is worth for the conservation and research data, moreover content for applying to the various fields such as to make 3D brochure, interactive contents, and so on.

As a preliminary study to quantify the measurement uncertainty of the Schmidt-Boelter type heat flux gauge, the present study has been conducted to evaluate the measurement error due to the calibration constant supported by manufacturer. Calibrations of heat flux gauges are performed at NIST Fire Research Division using a calibration facility with heat source of a 2000 W halogen-tungsten filament lamp and the calibration constant is obtained by comparing the response of the reference and a standard heat flux gauge at the same irradiance conditions. Calibration for heat flux gauges made by three different manufacturers is compared with their factory calibration constant. Relative error due to fluctuation of output signal from heat flux gauges does not exceed 1% of the mean value and the relative error between calibration of this study and factory calibration constant ranged from 1.5% to 14.3%. The present study shows that a continuous and periodic calibration is necessary for accurate heat flux measurement.
