Since the introduction of electronically controlled engines and electric propulsion ships, the need for an uninterruptible power supply for emergency power supply devices that use batteries has gained importance. The bidirectional converter in such emergency power supply devices is a crucial component. This paper proposes, a topology for an improved DC-DC bidirectional converter that is characterized by a high voltage conversion ratio and low voltage stress of switches. To confirm the performance of the converter, a computer simulation was executed with PSIM software. The conversion ratio of the proposed converter was found to be four times higher than the conventional boost converter in step-up mode and one-fourth that of the conventional buck converter in step-down mode, and the voltage stress of the switches was one-fourth of the high-side voltage. Moreover, the proposed converter was confirmed to be able to distribute equal currents between two interleaved modules without using any extra current-sharing control method because of the charge balance of its blocking capacitors.

The multi-functional VoIP phone supports the Ethernet protocol in the TIPS(: Tactical IP Switch), which is one of the sub-systems of the tactical information and communication system (TICN). It provides secured voice / video calls in conjunction with VoIP exchanges and supports differential services such as multi-party calls and command functions. In this paper, improving methods have been proposed to reduce power supply defects in the field of multi-functional VoIP phones. The power supply part was improved by applying TVS of the output voltage inlet of the dedicated adapter of the multi-functional VoIP phone, TVS of the PoE module input, adding blocking diodes, and adding DC / DC converters behind the poly-switch. Also, functional and environmental tests were performed to verify the validity of the proposed methods.

The electronic float flow pattern system can predict a rate of flow of river by monitoring a location of float in remote with location measurement technology and a variety of communication technology. Now, to analyze the flow pattern of the natural streams, we use the manual floats in many forms. The measurement of a rate of flow using a manual float measures the distance and time of the manual float directly and uses it. It is inefficient for measurement method and exact a rate of flow of river. To overcome this problems, we designed and implemented the electronic float using CDMA, GPS, and RF module. Then, to get the location information and a rate of flow information, we designed and implemented the monitoring system for the electronic float flow pattern. The short life cycle of electronic float using the battery decreases the utility of the electronic float flow pattern system. Then, we design the power saving method to reduce the power of the electronic float in electronic float flow pattern system.

Improvements in characteristics of a single junction AlGaAs/GaAs solar cell are observed by capping a PMMA lens on it. In order to show the effect of the lens, characteristics of a single junction AlGaAs/GaAs solar cell before and after the lens formation are compared under the one-sun illumination condition ($100mW/cm^2$). Characteristics of the solar cell under very weak illumination condition (about 1200 lux) is also measured with the lighting of a fluorescent desk lamp. About 5% of cell efficiency is improved after the capping of PMMA lens on the single junction AlGaAs solar cell and $83\;{\mu}m/cm^2$ of electrical power was generated with the lighting of a desk lamp.

In this study, a smart switchboard for power supply of entertainment devices was developed for the following purposes. First, the heat generated when the high-temperature and humid air inside is cooled by the thermoelectric module is smoothly discharged to the outside of the switchboard, thereby maximizing the cooling effect. So, it is possible to prevent excessive temperature rise inside the switchboard. Various problems such as condensation inside the switchboard can be prevented by controlling the temperature of the switchboard in which a fire occurs due to excessive heat in summer, removing moisture due to the cooling effect, and generating heat instead of cooling in winter. Second, it is a smart switchboard control system that can reduce the salt that may permeate inside the switchboard. Third, the smart switchboard system is an IoT-controlled switchboard that collects environmental data using a variety of sensors and can remotely control devices through a smartphone, and can be easily used in various fields.

The mobile connection environments of personal cellular phone are programmed by use WML and mHTML language for the general access. Through the experiments, we have showed that suggesting model can overcome constraints of distance and mobility of conventional system.
