Silicon/carbon composites as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries were examined to find the cycle performance and capacity. Silicon/carbon composites were prepared by a two-step method, including the magnesiothermic reduction of SBA-15 (Santa Barbara Amorphous material No. 15) and carbonization of phenol resin. The electrochemical behaviors of lithium ion batteries were characterized by charge/discharge, cycle, cyclic voltammetry and impedance tests. The improved electrochemical performance attributed to the fact that silicon/carbon composites suppress the volume expansion of the silicon particles and enhance the conductivity of silicon/carbon composites (30 ohm) compared to that of using the pure silicon (235 ohm). The anode electrode of silicon/carbon composites showed the high capacity approaching 1,348 mAh/g and the capacity retention ratio of 76% after 50 cycles.

The relation of crystal phase and charge/discharge capacity of $Li[Li_yMn_{2-y}]O_4$ were studied for different degrees of Li substitution (y). All cathode material showed spinel phase based on cubic phase in X-ray diffraction. Other peaks didn't show in spite of the increase of y value in $Li[Li_yMn_{2-y}]O_4$. Ununiform of $Li[Li_yMn_{2-y}]O_4$ which calcinated by (111) face and (222) face was more stable than that of pure $LiMn_2O_4$. In addition, At TG analysis, calcined $Li[Li_{0.1}Mn_{1.9}]O_4$ exhibited much mass loss at $800{\mu}m$. The cycle performance of the $Li(Li_yMn_{2-y}]O_4$ was improved by the substitution of $Li^{1+}$ for $Mn^{3+}$ in the octahedral sites. Specially, $Li[Li_{0.08}Mn_{1.92}]O_4$ and $Li[Li_{0.1}Mn_{1.9}]O_4$ cathode materials showed the charge and discharge capacity of about 125mAh/g at first cycle, and about 95mAh/g after 70th cycle. It is excellent than that of pure $LiMn_2O_4$, which 125mAh/g at first cycle, 65mAh/g at 70th.

선박이 배출하는 안정수(ballast water)는 외부로부터 유해 생물들이 유입되어 전파해 오는 주요경로로써 해양환경의 매우 중요하고 위험한 일종의 하나이지만, 이에 대한 효과적인 처리방법은 아직까지도 개발되지 못하였다. 그러나 최근 강 전리방전을 이용하여 고 밀집 산소와 물분자를 고농도 수산자유기(OH: hydroxyl radical)로 전리, 활성입자를 발생시켜 신속히 확산시키면 넓은 범위에서 비교적 낮은 농도로 유해성 침입 생물을 잔류물 없이 저렴한 비용으로 살균제나 촉매제의 사용 없이 소멸시켜 처리하는 효과적인 새로운 녹색방법을 제안하였다. 또한, 수산기는 강 산화제로써(산화환원 전위는 2.80 eV), 적조생물을 신속, 효과적으로 사멸시켜 잔유물과 오염물 발생 없이 이상적으로 해양적조현상을 처리할 수 있는 활성물질이다. 고출력 강 전리장치를 활용하면 수산기 활성제의 발생 농도를 Sr104 이상으로 얻을 수 있으므로, 해양적조처리에 요구되는 문턱 값 농도(~l$\times$$10^{-6}$)를 충족시킬 수 있으며, 이 경우 적조생물 소멸처리시간은 불과 10 sec 내외이므로 선박 안정수 처리문제와 함께 적조발생의 난문제를 해양동력학적으로 동시에 해결할 수 있는 효과적인 기술이다. 실험결과로부터 시간당 1 k톤의 활성물질을 발생하는 수산기활성제 제조장치의 경우, 약 4$\times$$10^2$ $\textrm{km}^2$/h의 적조해면을 처리할 수 있으며, 그 비용은 약 US$l,000 정도에 상당하므로, 적조에 따른 경제손실과는 비교될 수 없는 저렴하고 효과적인 방법이다. 활성물질의 생성시간과 가공시간은 불과 수십 $\mu\textrm{s}$ 및 수 sec 에 불과하므로, 1 kton/h 용량의 수산기활성제 제조장치의 환산소비동력은 약 200 kW이고, 장치의 체적은 10~30 ㎥의 공간으로 충분하므로, 소형선박으로 상당면적의 적조피해를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있다.

The lifetime of a battery that supplies all the power required by a satellite in the eclipse is directly related to the lifetime of the satellite. Because the lifetime of the battery is influenced by the charging method of the battery, the power control unit that controls the charging of the battery should be designed in consideration of battery life. The battery charging is performed by controlling the charge current in the power control unit generated from the solar cell in the daytime. In order to prevent overcharge of the battery and for considering frequency of eclipse in each season, parameters related battery charging should be designed differently according to the season and to prevent over-current charging and over-voltage charging during charging, charge current is controlled by monitoring battery charge / discharge status, charge current amount, battery voltage, battery capacity, battery temperature and battery cell voltage. In satellite, tapering method is used to control charge current by reflecting each condition. In this paper, design battery charging algorithm of satellite power control unit using tapering charging method. convert the designed algorithm into a code that can be uploaded to satellites and verify the operation through testing in the established satellite environment.

According to the recent revision of KS on the basis of the IEC, equipotential grounding systems has been come into focus and the use of surge protective devices(SPD) has been increased radically in order to operate the power system stably. $Z_nO$ varistor with non-linear resistance, which has an outstanding voltage-current(V-I) characteristic, is mainly used in power system to limit surge voltage and divert surge current. $Z_nO$ varistors are packaged several types based on the circuit assembly to be connected to a.c. power line. When the user assemble the $Z_nO$ varistors into parallel or series circuit package, there are my things to be taken into consideration including functions and thermal stability because they are directly related to the safety. We compare stabilities of each assembly type by measuring residual voltage, discharge current, leakage current and surface temperature concerned to the protection performances between a single device with a 40[kA] of current capacity and parallel or series circuits type of varistor package.

In this paper, a constant output power supply system for ozonizer is proposed to remove the noise of ozonizer and control the output of ozonizer using feedback control. The proposed system is based on the rouble control loop such as the outer voltage control loop and inner current control loop. In the proposed system overshoots and oscillations due to the computation time-delay are compensated by explicit incorporation of the time-delay in the current control loop transfer function. The inner current control loop is adopted by an internal model controller. The internal model controller is designed to a second order deadbeat reference-to-output response which means that its response reaches the reference in two sampling time including computational time-delays. The outer voltage control loop employing P-Resonance controller is proposed. The resonance controller has an infinite gain at resonant frequency, and the resonant frequency is set to the fundamental frequency of the reference voltage in this paper. Thus the outer voltage control loop causes no steady state error as regard to both magnitude and phase. The effectiveness of the proposed control system has been verified by the experimental results.

A novel structure of phase locked loop (PLL) with a time constant comparator and a current compensator has been proposed. The proposed PLL uses small capacitors which are impossible for stable operation in a conventional PLL. It is small enough to be integrated into a single chip. The time constant comparator detects the loop filter output voltage variations using signals which are passed through small and large RC time constants. The signal from the large RC time constant node is the average of the loop filter output voltage. The output voltage of another node is approximately equal to the present loop filter voltage. The output of the time constant comparator controls a current compensator and charge/discharge small size loop filter capacitors. It makes the proposed PLL operate stably. It has been simulated and proved by HSPICE in a CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ 1.8V process.

This paper aims to report the effect of surface treatment on graphite and its effect on the improvement of $Al_2O_3$ and $nano-Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$. The structure and property of surface treatment on graphite were determined by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electrochemical property and safety were determined by charge/discharge cycler, accelerating rate calorimeter. The composite with different metallic oxide exhibited the first efficiency of 82.5% and specific capacity of 350 mAh/g. Although the composite showed same efficiency and specific capacity at first cycle, surface treatment on graphite by $nano-Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ exhibited a higher charge/discharge rate, cycle life and thermal stability.
