반데그라프 발전기는 큰 전위차를 생성하고 입자를 가속시키기 위해 발명된 정전기 발생기이다. 현재 반데그라프 발전기는 사이클로톤의 개발 이후 입자 가속 목적으로 주로 사용되고 있지는 않지만 접촉 전하 생성, 전달, 및 축적을 가능하게 하는 전하 운반 시스템에 기반하여 간단한 구조로 직류를 발생시킬 수 있는 점은 주목할만하다. 특히, 최근 경량성, 고효율 발전 등의 장점으로 에너지 하베스팅 분야에서 많은 관심을 받고 있는 마찰전기 에너지 하베스팅 기술 분야에서는 최근, 높은 에너지 저장 효율을 위해 직류 발생이 가능한 마찰전기 에너지 발전 소자에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 전하 운반 시스템을 기반으로 한 마찰 전기 직류 발전기에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어 지지 않았으며, 보고된 몇 연구에서는 저 전류, 고 임피던스 및 저효율과 같은 반데그라프 발전기의 구조적 및 물질적 한계를 극복하지 못했다. 또한 마찰에 의해 발생하는 마모에 의한 출력 감소 또한 해결되지 못한 문제이다. 따라서 뛰어난 마찰전기 특성과 함께 우수한 내마모성을 가지는 폴리머에 기반하여 기존의 한계를 극복 한 전하 운반 시스템 기반 마찰 전기 직류 발전기를 제안한다.

Purpose: We have evaluated changes of body composition for patients that underwent a radical gastrectomy for stomach cancer by the use of available bioelectrical impedance analysis during the first year following surgery. We plan to utilize these findings in nutritional and physiological studies. Materials and Methods: We evaluated clinical changes in body composition in patients using the bioelectrical impedance method (Inbody 4.0, Biospace, Korea), between November 2003 to November 2004. A total of 98 patients agreed to enroll in this study among all of the patients that underwent a radical gastrectomy. Results: The average weight decreased by 6.7%, and 9.4%, within the first and 6 months after surgery, respectively (P<0.01). The fat free mass (FFM) dropped by 4.9% within the first month and there were no more changes after this period (P<0.01). The fat mass (FM) and visceral fat area (VFA) decreased 24.3% and 14.1% within the first 6 months (P<0.01), respectively. The reduction effects for female patients were greater than for male patients for weight, FFM and VFA (P<0.05). The edema index was higher in patients with stage III-IV disease than in patients with stage I-II disease (P<0.05). There were significant differences for Billroth I and Billrothl II patients as compared to patients that underwent an esophagojejunostomy for a reduction of the FM, as measured in the in the 12th month after surgery (27.6%, 22.1%, and 41.2%, respectively; P<0.05). Conclusion: Since nutritional supplementation and an improvement in body weight loss after a radical gastrectomy is significantly related with quality of life, nutritional and physiological studies should be greatly considered. In this study, bioelectrical impedance analysis was very useful in analyzing the diminution of body composition and we hope this study on the nutritional and physiological aspects related to a radical gastrectomy will be useful for later studies.

A resonant frequency of piezoelectric transducer depends remarkably on the electric impedance connected to the vibrator. In this paper, using this effect of frequency controllable two layered PZT ultrasonic transducer is designed and its acoustic characteristics are analyzed by a new transmission model equivalent circuit. The theoretical and the experimental results of the electric impedance effect on the resonant frequency variation were compared and both results showed a good consistency each other. The resonant frequency has been controlled continuously in the wide frequency range of 180kHz~580kHz and the effective attenuations were less than 7dB in the frequency range of 330kHz~470kHz.

Poly pyrrole polymer(ppy) has an excellent electrical conductivity and can be easily polymerized on anode to give various morophology according to doped anion on electroactive sites. To improve the properties of brittleness, ageing and hydrophobisity, poly furan polymer(pfu) having a high initiation potential was anodically implanted in this porous ppy film matrix to get the Pt/ppy/pfu(x)type of polymer composite electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance methods were used to these electrode, where $PF_6^-,\; BF_4^-$, and $ClO_4^-$ ions were employed as dopants. The composition of the pfu(x) at the electrode was changed from 0 to 1.10, but the range was useful only at 0.1 to 0.2 as the redox electrode. The polymer composite electrode doped with $PF_6^-$ was better in charge transfer resistance by a factor of 40 times and in double layer capacitance by a factor of 20 times than others. The charge transfer in the polymer film of the electrode was influenced on frequency change and equivalent circuit of this electrode had Warburg impedance including mass transfer.

The stability at elevated temperatures of a surface film formed on a graphite electrode in lithium secondary batteries was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electrochemical AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS). TEM analysis revealed that the surface film partly dissolved in the electrolyte solution during storage at $60^{\circ}C$, resulting in a decrease in the thickness of the surface film and a change in its morphology to a porous structure. On the other hand, an increase in the impedance of the surface film which is attributable to a change in composition of the surface film was confirmed by EIS analysis during the storage at $60^{\circ}C$. It was also shown that the addition of vinylene carbonate or 1,3-propane sultone or etylene sulfite, even if limited, improves the stability of the surface film at elevated temperatures.

Magnetotelluric responses may be affected by strong anisotropy of the high-conductivity layers (HCL) in the upper mantle or lower crust. We have studied two-dimensional anisotropy MT modelling to examine the effect of high anisotropic media. Electrical properties of a homogeneous anisotropic body are defined by a symmetric conductivity tensor and the problem is described by coupled diffusion equation in the frequency domain. In two-dimensional anisotropic environments, diagonal elements of the impedance tensor have higher values than those in isotropic environments. In some cases, TM mode phases reach more than 90°and apparent resistivities decrease for some frequency range because of telluric distortion. GB decomposition may be used to recover regional responses, but can be affected by the regional anisotropic effect. Considering these results, BC87 dataset was interpreted with a modified anisotropic model.

Electrical impedance tomography is an imaging technique to reconstruct the internal conductivity distribution based on applied currents and measured voltages in a domain of interest. In this paper, a modified Gauss-Newton method is proposed for conductivity image reconstruction. In the proposed method, the dimension of the inverse term is reduced by replacing the number of elements with the number of measurement data in the conductivity updating equation of the conventional Gauss-Newton method. Therefore, the computation time is greatly reduced as compared to the conventional Gauss-Newton method. Moreover, the regularization parameter is selected by computing the minimum-maximum from the diagonal components of the Jacobian matrix at every iteration. The numerical experiments with several scenarios were carried out to evaluate the reconstruction performance of the proposed method.

The circuit of the EEFL system and the inverter has been analyzed into the resistance RL, the capacitance C of the EEFL-backlight system, and the inductance of transformer in the inverter. The lamp resistance and capacitance are deter-mined from the phase difference is between the lamp current and voltage and from the Q-V diagram, respectively. The single Lamp of EEFL for 32' LCD-BLU has the resistance of $66\;k\Omega$ and the capacitance of 21.61 pF. The resistance, which is connected by parallel in the 20-EEFLS BLU, is $3.3\;k\Omega$ and the capacitance is 402.1 pF. The matching frequency in the operation of lamp system is noted as $\omega_M=1/\sqrt{L_2C(1-k^2)}$, where $L_2$ is the inductance of secondary coil and k is the coupling coefficient between primary and secondary coil. The lamp current and voltage has maximum value at the matching frequency in the LCD BLU system. The results of analytic solutions are in good agreement with the experimental results.

This study aims to investigate the effect of total electrochemical cell resistance (TECR) on electrochemical impedance (EI) measurements of reinforced concrete (RC) by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using a three-electrode system. A series of experimental study is performed to measure electrochemical behavior of a steel bar embedded in a concrete cube specimen, with a side length of 200 mm, in various experimental conditions. Main variables include concrete dry conditions, coupling resistance between sensing electrodes and concrete surface, and area of the counter electrode. It is demonstrated that EI values remains stable when the compliant voltage of a measuring device is sufficiently great compared to the potential drop caused by TECR of concrete specimens. It is confirmed that the effect of the coupling resistance of TECR is far more influential than other two factors (concrete dry conditions and area of the counter electrode). The results in this study can be used as a fundamental basis for development of a surface-mount sensor for corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete structures exposed to wet-and-dry cycles under marine environment.

대기중에 위치한 뇌운안에 전하가 떠다니는 상태에서는 구름안과 주변에 높은 전계의 전위가 발생한다. 이 전하가 축적되면 대지 방전이 발생하고 송전선로 등에 뇌격이 침입하게 된다. 뇌 방전은 수 km에 달하는 대기중에 발생하는 거대한 전기현상이지만 이 낙뢰가 전기의 흐름이라는 것은 벤자민 프랭클린의 현장 시험에 대해 최초로 증명되었다. 이러한 대기중에 발생하는 거대한 전기현상인 낙뢰가 송전선로에 침입하여 송선선로 애자련을 섬락시키는 과정은 대단히 복잡한 전자기적인 현상이다. 그것은 가스 방전 현상, 감속에 중요한 역할을 하는 전자계의 빠른 변화, 도체와 철탑에 나타나는 코로 나와 관련된 비선형 효과 및 주파수 및 전류와 관련된 대지의 임피던스 통 다양한 현상이 종합적으로 관련된다. 따라서 가공 송전선로의 낙뢰에 대한 동작특성의 평가시 낙뢰 현상의 불규칙한 특성 및 신뢰할만한 데이터의 부족에 따른 많은 불확실성이 존재한다. 이 때문에 가공 송전선로에서 낙뢰에 의한 트립(Trip) 사고수의 계산을 위해 단순화된 방법이 아주 유용하며 효과적일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 EGM (Electrogeometric Model) 모델을 사용하여 대지경사자의 크기에 따른 차폐실패 트립 사고율의 영향을 검토하였다.
