스퍼터링 기술은 타겟 사용 효율 및 증착률 향상 개념에서의 소스 특성향상과, 증착 기판으로 이동하는 스퍼터링 입자량 및 이온화율 제어를 통한 코팅 박막의 특성향상 등 크게 두 축을 중심으로 발전되어 왔다. 특히 소스 특성 향상 관점에서 고진공에서의 스퍼터링 기술, 듀얼 마그네크론 스퍼터링 및 무빙 마그네트론 스퍼터링 기술 및 원통형 스퍼터링 기술이 개발되어왔으며, 코팅 박막의 특성 향상과 관련하여서는 스퍼터링 방전 내 플라즈마의 밀도의 증대 및 기판 입사 입자의 에너지 제어를 통한 박막의 치밀도 향상 연구가 많이 이루어져, UBM 또는 ICP 결합 스퍼터링 및 Arc-스퍼터링 혼합공정이 연구되어 왔다. 박막 증착에서 박막의 물성을 조절하는 주요인자는, 기판에 입사하는 입자의 에너지로, 그 조절 범위가 좁고 넓음에 따라 활용 가능한 코팅 공정의 window가 설정된다. 지난 15년간 증착박막의 물성 향상을 위하여 스퍼터링 소스의 제어 관점이 아닌 전원적 관점에서 스퍼터된 입자의 에너지 제어를 MF(kHz), Pulse 전원 사용을 통해 이루어져 왔고, 특히 High Impulse Pulse를 이용한 HiPIMS 기법이 연구개발과 시장의 이해가 잘 어울려져 많은 발전을 이루고 있다. HiPIMS 공정은 박막의 물성을 제어하는 관점을 스퍼터링에 사용되는 보조 가스인 Ar 이온에 의존하지 않고, 직접 스퍼터된 입자의 이온화를 증대시키고, 이 이온화된 입자를 활용하여 증착 박막의 치밀성 및 반응성을 증대시켜, 박막특성을 제어하는 기술이다. HiPIMS의 경우, 초기 개발 당시에는 고에너지, 고이온화의 금속 이온을 대량 생성할 수 있다는 이론적 배경에서 연구되었다. 그러나 연구 개발이 진행되면서, 박막의 물성과 증착률 등 상반된 특성이 나타나면서 이에 대한 전원장치의 개량이나 스퍼터링 소스의 개선 등 다양한 개발 연구들이 요구되고 있다. 재료연구소에서는 스퍼터링 기술에서 가장 문제가 되고 있는 타겟 사용효율화 관점 및 스퍼트된 입자의 이온화률 증대에 대한 두 가지 문제를 동시에 해결할 수 있는 방안으로 고밀도 플라즈마를 이용한 스퍼터링 기술을 개발하고 있다. 본 발표에서는 이러한 HiPIMS의 연구 개발 동향과 고밀도 플라즈마를 이용한 스퍼터링 기술에 대한 연구 동향을 발표하고자 한다.

Background: It has been shown that low-grade electrical stimulus can transform fatigue resistant muscles which then can be used to protect the heart. The bulky and cumbersome power sources of the artificial heart or implantable ventricular assist devices are still in need of solution; however, on the other hand, the implantable ventricular assist devices using the resistant muscles as the power source have the advantages of using its own muscle contractions. The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of a clinical application of the skeletal muscle ventricle. Material and Method: Latissimus dorsi muscles (LDM) of 8 canines were used for skeletal muscle ventricle. A latex chamber was wrapped one and a half times with LDM. The chamber was attached to a pressure transducer via Tygon tube. An electrode stimulator was placed around the thoracodorsal nerve and LDM was stimulated in cyclic bursts of 0.31 sec on time and 6.0 sec off time using 3.0 volt Itrel stimulator. The preload volume was added to the system in 25cc increments. Ejection volumes, pressures, and peak power outputs were measured. Result: Ejection volume was 76.3cc with 0cc of preload. Ejection volumes were less than 70ml with increments of preload over 75cc Pressures were more than 107 mmHg when the preloads were less than 75cc and less than 100 mmHg when the preloads were more than 100cc. Peak power output of 16.6 W/kg was observed at 50cc preload. Conclusion: Depending on the changes of preload, the volumes ejected from skeletal muscle ventricle and pressures from the skeletal muscle contraction surpassed those of the normal heart. These data suggest that there are clinical applications for skeletal muscle ventricular assist system.

Korea Utility Helicopter(KUH) is a project to replace the aging helicopter presently being operated by the military with a domestic helicopter. The auxiliary power unit is a device that supplies emergency power to the system by an alternator installed when the main generator fails and the start motor converts the electrical energy of the battery into mechanical rotational energy to rotate the auxiliary power unit engine. With continuing power and operation, defects of the starting motor were found and improvements were carried out to solve it. In the failure mode analysis, the causes of possible defects were classified into 5 categories. Analysis of the 5 factors revealed that the main cause of defects is mechanical wear, which was found to be related to spring pressure. 250 tests were conducted through the theoretically determined pressure and regression analysis was performed with 4 sampling.The results showed that pressure was related to wear rate. In conclusion, early wear and breakage due to wear can be controlled through spring force and test showed the prediction of wear and the validity of the result were confirmed.

In the case of the existing train control system, the driver monitors the condition of the vehicle through a composite controller device that displays various information on a screen in the vehicle. However, when problems arise such as car trouble, it is difficult for the drivers to take action immediately. In addition, maintenance personnel have to manually save data one by one after storing the vehicle to analyze control information of the main devices such as the brake controller and auxiliary power. To improve these points, a system that sends and receives all information in real time should be established by installing a sensor communication network and a surveillance system. This study attempts to improve the safety and maintenance of rail vehicles by suggesting a standardized method for train control and surveillance system.

A supercapacitor, also called an ultracapacitor or an electrochemical capacitor, stores electrochemical energy by the adsorption/desorption of electrolytic ions or a fast and reversible redox reaction at the electrode surface, which is distinct from the chemical reaction of a battery. A supercapacitor features high specific power, high capacitance, almost infinite cyclability (~ 100,000 cycle), short charging time, good stability, low maintenance cost, and fast frequency response. Supercapacitors have been used in electronic devices to meet the requirements of rapid charging/discharging, such as for memory back-up, and uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Also, their use is being extended to transportation and large industry applications that require high power/energy density, such as for electric vehicles and power quality systems of smart grids. In power generation using intermittent power sources such as solar and wind, a supercapacitor is configured in the energy storage system together with a battery to compensate for the relatively slow charging/discharging time of the battery, to contribute to extending the lifecycle of the battery, and to improve the system power quality. This article provides a concise overview of the principles, mechanisms, and classification of energy storage of supercapacitors in accordance with the electrode materials. Also, it provides a review of the status of recent research and patent, product, and market trends in supercapacitor technology. There are many challenges to be solved to meet industrial demands such as for high voltage module technologies, high efficiency charging, safety, performance improvement, and competitive prices.

Auxiliary power supply for railway vehicle is a equipment that focuses on the service of passengers in a vehicle. It supplies power to controllers used in heating and cooling devices, fluorescent lamps, batteries and many other electrical equipments. Most of the auxiliary power supply for railway vehicle are mainly used for the round trips and circulation routes within the metropolitan area and have a capacity of 170~200 kVA. In this study, we developed the auxiliary power supply capacity to 240kVA for 200km/h class. As such, the auxiliary power supply is an important device for securing the reliability and safety of the railway vehicle and improving the passenger convenience, so the performance verification of the performance must be ensured. In this paper, 240kVA auxiliary power supply is developed.

In this paper, the life cycle cost of the auxiliary power unit in the conventional 8200 series electric locomotive is evaluated and an effective life cycle cost reduction method is sought. For this, a life cycle cost evaluation model was proposed using IEC 60300-3-3 standard. As a result of analysis, material cost which accounted for a large percentage of preventive maintenance cost, accounted for 64% of total cost, and breakdown maintenance cost was as high as 27%. Except for the cost of preventive maintenance, the breakdown maintenance cost ratio was the highest. In order to reduce the LCC of the auxiliary power unit(APU) of the 8200 series in the future, it is necessary to reduce the material cost in case of development and to secure the high reliability according to the parts manufacturing so as to minimize the maintenance cost.
