현재 초고압 송변전기기에 적용되고 있는 $SF_6$가스는 절연 및 소호성능이 우수하며 회복특성이 뛰어나기 때문에 초고압 기기의 절연매체로서 널리 사용되고 있으나 가격이 비싸고 저온 및 높은 압력에서 액화되기 쉬우며 대기 중으로 방출될 경우에는 온실효과를 야기 시키는 단점을 가지고 있다. 최근 환경에 대한 관심과 규제가 높아지면서 온실가스에 대한 규제로서 교토 의정서가 정식 발효됨에 따라 $SF_6$가스는 금후 총량 제한에 의해 사용량이 규제 받을 가능성이 대단히 높다. 따라서 $SF_6$ 가스와 Air, N2, CO2, N2/O2 합성가스, He 등과 혼합된 절연매체들이 하나의 대안으로 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 대체 절연가스로 주목받고 있는 Dry-air(공기 중에서 수분과 각종 불순물을 제거한 공기), N2/O2 합성가스, N2 가스를 4mm 간격의 준평등(구대구전극) 전계에서 0.5atm에서 9atm까지 변화시켰을 때 절연내력을 비교하였다. 또한, 보다 평등전계에 가까운 10mm의 간격에서도 0atm에서 4atm까지 동일한 전압을 인가하여 절연내력을 비교 분석하였다.

현재 전력설비에 사용되고 있는 $SF_6$ 가스는 절연 및 소호성능이 우수하고 회복특성이 뛰어나기 때문에 각종 전력기기의 절연매체로서 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 산업사회의 발달로 인하여 도시의 공간 활용의 효율성 측면에서 전력기기들의 소형화, 지중화 및 고 신뢰화가 시도되고 있으며, 또한 온실가스에 대한 규제로서 '도쿄 의정서'가 정식 발효됨에 따라 환경문제로 인하여 전력설비의 $SF_6$ 가스의 유출 최소화, 대체 절연물질 개발 등의 친환경 재료의 개발이 새롭게 대두되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 $SF_6$를 액화시켜 기존의 $SF_6$ 가스와 액체 $SF_6(LSF_6)$의 절연파괴특성을 측정/분석하여 $SF_6$의 대체물질로 $LSF_6$의 가능성을 검토하고, 혹한 지역에서 운용되고 있는 $SF_6$ 이용 전력설비의 온도저하에 따른 문제점을 구명하였다.

콘센트-플러그는 사용자부하에 전기를 공급하기 위하여 필수적으로 사용하는 전기부품이다. 활선상태인 콘센트-플러그를 임의로 차단할 경우, 교류환경에서는 반주기 마다 전류의 영점이 존재하므로 차단접점에서 발생하는 아크가 자연적으로 소호될 수 있으나 직류환경에서는 개방직전 전류가 영점을 포함하지 않고 일정하기 때문에 그에 따라 발생하는 아크는 교류에 비해 지속적이고 상대적으로 매우 큰 에너지를 방출한다. 교류에서 사용되는 플러그와 콘센트를 그대로 직류에서 사용 할 경우, 접속이 끊어 질 때 매우 큰 아크전류가 발생하여 플러그와 콘센트의 전극이 녹아서 붙는 융착 사고가 빈번히 발생한다. 본 논문은 콘센트-플러그의 융착 사고를 예방하기 위해 전극의 초기-후기접점 기법을 제안한다. 이를 구현하기 위한 기초적인 연구로서 초기-후기접점 저항을 2단계로 구분하여 접속 및 차단 시 중간단계의 접촉저항을 통하여 부하전류가 단계적으로 바뀔 수 있도록 함으로써 최종 차단 아크전류를 감소시키는 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 성능을 분석하고 설계방법을 제시한다.

Tin oxide (SnO₂) nanocrystals are synthesized by a thermal evaporation method using a mixture of SnO₂ and Mg powders. The synthesis process is performed in air at atmospheric pressure, which makes the process very simple. Nanocrystals with a belt shape start to form at 900 ℃ lower than the melting point of SnO₂. As the synthesis temperature increases to 1,100 ℃, the quantity of nanocrystals increases. The size of the nanocrystals did not change with increasing temperature. When SnO₂ powder without Mg powder is used as the source material, no nanocrystals are synthesized even at 1,100 ℃, indicating that Mg plays an important role in the formation of the SnO₂ nanocrystals at temperatures as low as 900 ℃. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the SnO₂ nanocrystals have a rutile crystal structure. The belt-shaped SnO₂ nanocrystals have a width of 300~800 nm, a thickness of 50 nm, and a length of several tens of micrometers. A strong blue emission peak centered at 410 nm is observed in the cathodoluminescence spectra of the belt-shaped SnO₂ nanocrystals.

In this paper, we propose a simple but effective algorithm to increase the speed of Emphysema region classification. Emphysema region classification method based on CT image consumes a lot of time because of the large number of subregions due to the large size of CT image. Some of the sub-regions contain no Emphysema and the classification of these regions is worthless. To speed up the classification process, we create an algorithm to select Emphysema region candidates and only use these candidates in the Emphysema region classification instead of all of the sub-regions. First, the lung region is detected. Then we threshold the lung region and only select the dark pixels because Emphysema only appeared in the dark area of the CT image. Then the thresholded pixels are clustered into a region that called the Emphysema pre-detected region or Emphysema region candidate. This region is then divided into sub-region for the Emphysema region classification. The experimental result shows that Emphysema region classification using predetected Emphysema region decreases the size of lung region which will result in about 84.51% of time reduction in Emphysema region classification.

Recently, inverter control systems have attracted immense attention to increase the energy efficiency. However, such systems use repeated on/off high currents for linear operation control, instead of the prevalent step variable current control method. Hence, there arise concerns of personal and property damage, especially due to the durability, explosive characteristics, and operating speed of the fuse, which is responsible for safety and is one of the internal components using current control. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an IEC60127-4 SMD sub-miniature fuse, consisting of Ag-Cu alloys and ceramic powder for arc soothing. The IEC60127-4 SMD sub-miniature fuse has high durability and cut-off capacity, and operates safely in dangerous circumstances caused by the inverter control system.

Zinc oxide(ZnO) micro/nanocrystals are grown via thermal evaporation of ZnO powder mixed with Mn powder, which is used as a reducing agent. The ZnO/Mn powder mixture produces ZnO micro/nanocrystals with diverse morphologies such as rods, wires, belts, and spherical shapes. Rod-shaped ZnO micro/nanocrystals, which have an average diameter of 360 nm and an average length of about $12{\mu}m$, are fabricated at a temperature as low as $800^{\circ}C$ due to the reducibility of Mn. Wire-and belt-like ZnO micro/nanocrystals with length of $3{\mu}m$ are formed at $900^{\circ}C$ and $1,000^{\circ}C$. When the growth temperature is $1,100^{\circ}C$, spherical shaped ZnO crystals having a diameter of 150 nm are synthesized. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal that ZnO had hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. A strong ultraviolet emission peak and a weak visible emission band are observed in the cathodoluminescence spectra of the rod- and wire-shaped ZnO crystals, while visible emission is detected for the spherical shaped ZnO crystals.

Magnetic arc extinguishing technology is effective as an extinguishing device for low-voltage direct current (DC) circuit breakers with a resistive load of ≤4 kW. The separation distance between the magnet and the electrical contact must be shortened to increase the magnetic arc extinguishing force. However, if the magnet is installed too close to the electrical contact points, the magnet is exposed to high temperatures due to the arc current generated when the load current is cut off and the magnetism is lost. To solve this problem, the effective magnetic flux density at the electrical contact can be maintained high by placing the arc extinguishing magnet in a tandem structure with the electrical contact point between them, and the proper separation distance between the contact points and the magnet can be maintained. In addition, an electric arc extinguishing technology that emits arc energy using a series circuit of diode and resistor is used to suppress the continuous arc voltage generated by the inductive load. For the proposed circuit breaker, the breaking characteristics are analyzed through the breaking test for the DC load of the 760 V level, the load power of 4 kW, and the time constant of 5 ms, and an appropriate arc extinguishing design guideline is proposed.

This study analyzed the current operational status, business continuity, and business continuity strategies of 11 Soho fashion shopping malls through a longitudinal case study (2019/2020 and 2022/2023). The aim was to determine how Soho fashion shopping malls are continuing their business having been successfully established in the fiercely competitive current online fashion market. Regarding changes in shopping mall operation status, all cases displayed changes in items, distribution channels, marketing channels, core values, and profit structures. After establishing the businesses, a crisis arose due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to difficulties in creating new customers. Moreover, there was excessive business expansion, resulting in saturation of the online platform store market. This meant companies were experiencing reduced sales (5) or difficulties in maintaining their business (3). However, there were differences in the direction of overcoming the crisis and continuing or converting the business. These revealed that to continue the business after successful establishment of an online fashion shopping mall, it is essential to have the expertise of entrepreneurs, work performance, and marketing ability, as well as differentiation capabilities such as product power and management strategy and core competitiveness that provides a relative advantage over other shopping malls. Customized government support at the level of the start-up ecosystem is also essential for the survival and business continuity of a SOHO online fashion shopping mall with poor human and material resources.
