Physical signals generated in the real world are transformed into electrical signals through sensors and fed into electronic circuits. The electrical signals input to electronic circuits are in analog form, thus they must be converted to digital signals using an ADC(Analog-Digital Converter) for digital processing. Signal processing circuits and ADCs that are to be integrated on a single chip together with silicon micro sensors should be designed to have less silicon area and less power consumption. This paper proposed a charge redistribution ADC which reduces silicon area considerably. The proposed method achieves 8 bit conversion by performing 4-bit conversion twice. It reduced the area of capacitor array, which takes most of the ADC area, by 1/16 when compared to a conventional method. Though it uses twice the number of clocks as a conventional method, it would be appropriate to be integrated with a silicon pressure sensor on a single chip since it does not demand high conversion rate.

In this paper, we study a cause of malfunction of switch to control drive motor in DFMS(Digital Flux Mapping System) which can measure incore neutron flux of the nuclear plant, and develope a method to solve this problem. DFMS has the type of generating contact signal by mechanical switch lever, which is operated whenever thimble detector inserted or withdrawed through thimble Guide Tube. However the characteristics of the lever tend to be changed by mechanical degrade or bad environment and the lever finally generates errotic contact signal. Therefore we installed electric coil ass'yin the outside of Guide Tube instead of mechanical switch assy's. In addition we applied resonance effect to control circuit and installed condenser in the input of power supply to protect noise and interference. After completion of this improvement, we tested this improved device repetitively under the various conditions. In conclusion, we identified the generation of the desired contact signal and the prevention of detector failure through plant surveillance test during normal plant operation.

Piezoelectric inverter for driving CCFL is designed in this study. Of them, CCFL is generally used because it has advantages such as small size, high efficiency and good brightness characteristics. the description of the piezoelectric effect is not present here and can be easily found in numerous publications as well as complex equations and formulae. What is the most important to understand is that "they are different" one cannot just change an electromagnetic transformer(EMT) for a piezoelectric one. The simulation program supports the modeled piezoelectric inverter for this paper and the equivalent circuit. The result of the experiment shows more than 90% improvement in terms of the efficiency.

전 세계적으로 환경에 대한 인식이 증대됨에 따라 친환경적인 소재의 개발 연구가 필요한 상황이고, 대표적으로 셀룰로오스를 이용한 종이기판을 활용하는 방안이 새로운 연구화두로 떠오르고 있다. 종이를 기본으로 한 전기전자 회로구성의 가능성을 보기위해 종이 위해 전자회로 구성요소를 형성시켜야 할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구팀은 상용 복사 용지위에 마이크로 단위의 패터닝을 구현하는 연구를 진행하였다. 마이크로 패터닝 구현 방법은 다음과 3가지로 요약할 수 있다;1. 리소그래피 공정, 2. 메탈마크스를 사용한 물질 증착, 3. 잉크젯 프린팅. 리소그래피 공정을 위해서 발수처리를 한 종이 위에 실리콘기반 공정과 마찬가지로 레지스트를 코팅하고 노광과 디벨롭, 증착과 리프트오프 과정을 거쳤다. 공정 결과 패터닝이 어느 정도 잘 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 두번째로 상용 메탈마스크를 제작하여 종이 위에 그대로 증착하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이 방법은 액상공정을 요구하지 않기 때문에 발수처리가 필요하지 않고 종이의 기본성질을 그대로 유지 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 마지막으로 잉크젯 프린팅 공정은 복사용지를 인쇄할 때 사용하는 간단한 상용프린터를 이용하였다. 이 방법은 앞의 두 공정보다는 다소 패턴 사이즈가 크다는 단점이 있지만 원하는 모양을 자유롭게 패터닝 할 수 있고 그만큼 대량 생산에 용이하다는 장점이 있다.

터널 발파를 원활히 수행하기 위해서는 암반조건에 적합한 합리적인 설계와 정밀한 천공, 정확한 기폭초시가 기본요소로서 이는 현재 국내 터널 설계.시공 기술 및 기자재의 발달로 만족할 만한 성과를 얻을 수 있다. 특히. 터널발파에서 정확한 기폭초시 부여는 굴진율 및 버럭 파쇄율, 굴착예정선 미려도, 잔여 암반 손상도 등의 시공성에서 뿐만 아니라 소음 및 진동 발생율을 좌우하는 환경적인 측면에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 기폭요소는 최초 도화선을 활용한 공업뇌관에서 전기뇌관, 비전기식뇌관의 순으로 기폭안전성과 정밀성 면에서 눈부신 성장을 이룩하여 왔으며 특히, 90년대 초에 개발되어 전 세계적으로 최근까지 지속적으로 사용량이 급증하고 있는 전자뇌관은 기폭방식에 일대혁신을 이루었다. 전자기폭 시스템은 기존뇌관의 초시를 결정하는 화약성분의 지연요소 대신에 IC board(전자회로)에 의한 Digital timer로 신호를 발생하여 초시를 결정하는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 국내 최초로 전자기폭시스템을 활용하여 2003년 9원 23일에서 동년 11월 2일까지 강원도 양구 지역의 $\bigcirc\bigcirc$터널에 전자뇌관을 이용한 시험발파를 실시하였고, 발파에 의한 진동 등을 조사하여 그 효율성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 전자뇌관의 특성과 장점을 최대한 샅리기 위하여 각공을 발파하는 방식, 즉 1지발에 1공을 발파하는 방식을 채택하고 일반 뇌관과 전자뇌관으로 설계를 하여 각각의 발파효율을 비교하여 보았다. 그 결과 발파진동의 경우 기존뇌관을 이용하여 1공씩을 1지발로 발파를 한 경우에는 18~56%의 진동저감 효과가 있었고. 본선 설계에 의해 진행된 발파에 비하여는 최대 70% 이상의 진동저감 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The sensorless scheme for Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) drives must have the robustness and reliability because the noise and error are sensitive. These elements make electrically noisy environments due to the proximity of high current power circuits with small signal electronic circuits when SRM drives. Also, due to the leakage inductances and finite coupling capacitances, these can cause the noise on any low voltage current and voltage measurement circuit. The position estimate error occurs because the current and voltage including the noise are sued as the inputs of sensorless algorithm. In this paper the high robustness and resistance of input noise re described. The fuzzy logic based rotor estimation algorithm and the observer model are used to reduce the tolerance of input data.

Optical type hydrometer has been designed and constructed utilizing the fact that the refractive index of solution is varied in accordance with its specific gravity. Optical hydrometer produces the electric singal output with reflection of light in accordance with its specific gravity. This can be applied to continuous monitoring and/or automatic control of the specific gravity of solution. U-shaped glass rod was used a transfer medium of light, and the electronic circuit which utilize phase sensitive detection technique was designed to measure accurately the intensity of light. The specific gravity of sulfuric acid was measured with this hydrometer and the results show good linearity of output signal with its specific gravity.

Recently, ubiquitous sensor network(USN) techniques have been applied to electric power facility management. This paper dealt with the designed and fabricated ubiquitous sensors which monitor transformers and lightning arresters installed in overhead distribution systems. The sensors consist of a 8-[bit] microprocessor unit, a wireless communication nodule specified in IEEE 802.15.4, and associated electronics. A Rogowski coil was fabricated to measure load of transformer and surge current without saturation having good linearity up to 1000[A]. A zero-phase current transformer with a high relative permeability of $10^5$ at 180[Hz] was used to detect small leakage current of $50[{\mu}A]{\sim}1[mA]$ flowing lightning arrester, and the frequency bandwidth of the module is ranges from 12[Hz] to 1.24[kHz] at -3[dB].

Herein, we report the manufacture of high-performance, ambipolar organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and complementary-like electronic circuitry based on a blended, polymeric, semiconducting film. Relatively high and well-balanced electron and hole mobilities were achieved by incorporating a small amount of ionic additives. The equivalent P-channel and N-channel properties of the ambipolar OFETs enabled the manufacture of complementary-like inverter circuits with a near-ideal switching point, high gain, and good noise margins, via a simple blanket spin-coating process with no additional patterning of each active P-type and N-type semiconductor layer.

In the existing ICT technique, the mounted electronic devices on the printed circuit board are tested whether the devices are good or not by comparing and measuring the value of the devices after separating the devices to be tested from around it based on the guarding method. But, in case that resistance, inductor and capacitor are configured as a parallel circuit on the circuit pattern, values for each device can not be measured because the total impedance value of the parallel circuit is measured. Accordingly, it is impossible to test whether the parallel circuit is good or not in case that the measured impedance value is within the tolerance error. Also, it is difficult to identify that which device among R, L and C of the parallel circuit is bad in case that the measured impedance value is out of the tolerance error. Accordingly, this paper proposes a test method which can enhance the quality and productivity by separating and measuring accurately R, L and C components from the RLC parallel circuits on the device-mounted printed circuit board. First, the RLC parallel circuit to be test is separated electrically from around it using three-terminal guarding technique. And then R, L and C values are computed based on the total impedance values and phase angles between voltage and current of the parallel circuit measured from two AC input signals with other frequency, Finally, the availability and accuracy of the proposed test method is verified by reviewing the simulation results.
