This paper describes an implementation of a wide-range dimming controller of a LED backlight for Avionics applications such as a control display unit(CDU) and multi-function display(MFD). The digital dimming controller employing a current controlled buck converter and light sensor feedback is proposed. The proposed system provides a wide dimming control range of from 150fL to 0.05fL(3000:1) required for avionic displays. The experimental results are provided to show the control performance.

기존의 전력 시스템에서 큰 부피를 차지하는 계통 주파수(50/60Hz) 변압기를 대체하기 위해서, 최근 전력용 반도체 변압기 SST(Solid State Transformer)에 대한 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. AC/DC 컨버터는 높은 시스템 입력 전압에 대응 가능한 기존의 다양한 멀티레벨 컨버터 중 CHB (Cascaded H-bridge) 컨버터는 시스템 모듈화의 용이성과 상용 소자의 정격전압을 고려했을 때 반도체 변압기 시스템에 가장 많이 적용되고 있는 토폴로지이지만 각각의 H-bridge 컨버터 DC-link 전압의 불평형 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 CHB 컨버터의 전압 불평형을 해결하기 위하여 추가적인 센서가 필요없는 간단하고 실용적인 전압 불평형 보상 제어기를 제안한다.

Recently, several papers for reading meters remotely using RFID/USN technologies have been presented. In the case of water meter, there has been neither commercial product nor paper. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of wireless digital water meter with low power consumption. We use magnetic hole sensors to compute the amount of water consumption. The meter of water consumption is transferred via ZigBee wireless protocol to a gateway. Low power consumption design is essential since a battery should last till the life time of water meter. We present that dual batteries haying 3V, 3000mAh, would last 8 years by analyzing the real power consumption of our water meter.

It is throwing the spotlight on the cultivation crops about high quality crops and productivity improvement per unit area because of rapid climate change caused by global warming. Therefore, we propose a water culture management of circulation nutrient method control system applies to solar tracking method not using traditional method of deep flow technique and artificial light source. We design it in the form of the circulation nutrient method in waterway of a certain amount of nutrient solution and water flowed into the way of circular. In addition, we design a multistage structure in pyramid shape which be possible continuous photosynthesis action to crops of water culture bottom part. Also, solar tracking method is designed five sensor method of center hole sensor method for tracking shadow of solar light not using traditional two hole, four hole sensor method. Finally, through the water culture device applies to solar light tracking method was not introduced in existing study yet, we can reduce growth speed of crops which be possible continuous photosynthesis action to crops. Moreover, We can expect high productivity of per unit area which be possible all crops can be offered growth environment of same type by using form of pyramid shape of multistage structure without top or bottom part.

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of geographic information on the performance of multiple ground target tracking system using multiple sensors. Geographic information is utilized in two cases: association and masking target measurement. Virtually no improvement is observed to the overall performance of tracking system when we applied mobility to the association procedure. Masking target measurement based on mobility produces desirable result that the number of false tracks is reduced. Since geographic information can be regarded as an additional sensor in sensor fusion paradigm, careful usage is required.

Recently great efforts and investment have been made in order to develop a structural health monitoring technology using fiber optic sensors. Therefore, in this study, we have focused on the development of a fiber optic BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) sensor system in order to measure strains distributed on large structures by an optical fiber. The fiber optic BOTDA sensor was constructed simply, with only two electro-optic modulators. The results of strain measurement tests of an optical fiber showed that the strain can be determined accurately from the Brillouin frequency shift measurement on the strain induced range of 10 m in the total fiber length of 4.8 kIn using 200 averaged signals. Also, the strain sensitivity of Samsung single mode fiber was 4.81 MHz/O.Ol % under the test. test.

Recently, super high-speed motor drives have been available due to the development of power electronics technology And they are used in various fields of industry because of their advantages. This paper describes the control algorithm for a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM) drive at the speed of 118,000r/min using DSP and IGBT inverter. Hall sensors are implemented to measure the rotor position and speed, and a speed observer is used to reduce the performance deterioration caused by the low resolution of hall sensors. To enhance the output power capacity in the high-speed operating region, a flux weakening controller which also can work as an anti-wind up controller is used. Computer simulations and experiments are peformed to validate the proposed method.

In this paper, a motor parameter identification system has been implemented to improve the performance of the position sensorless stroke controller for linear compressors. In order to control the cooling capability of a refrigerator or an air conditioner in which linear compressors are applied, the piston speed should be controlled. The piston speed control can be obtained by adjusting the frequency or the stroke of linear motors. The dynamic performance of linear compressors depends on how accurately the stroke or the piston amplitude is estimated. The merits and demerits of Constant method and PIM (Parameter Identification Method) concerning the needed memory space and the stroke error are discussed and verified via some experimental studies.

Integrated-optic symmetric/asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers at $1.3{\mu}m$ wavelength were studied as sensing part for electric-field measurement system. The devices were simulated based on the BPM software and fabricated utilizing Ti-diffused $LiNbO_3$ channel optical waveguides and lumped-type electrodes. A half-wave voltage of $V_{\pi}$=6.6V and modulation depth of 100% and 75% for a symmetric structure were measured for 200Hz and 1kHz electrical signal bandwidth, respectively. By the way, almost half-maximum power transmission was observed for asymmetric interferometers with ${\pi}$/2 intrinsic phase difference. Expected experimental measurements were observed for 1kHz electrical signal bandwidth.

최근 생체분자 구조 연구가 의료진단, 생명 현상 규명 및 의약품 개발 등 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있으나 대부분의 분석방법이 제한적이어서 새로운 기술 개발의 필요성이 증대하고 있다. 종래의 DNA 등의 생체분자의 분석은 형광염료를 이용한 방법이 주로 이용되었다. 형광염료는 단백질을 포함한 여러 물질들에 대해 반응하지 않기 때문에 분석에 제한이 있으며, 이와 같은 단점을 보완하는 방법으로 SPR (surface plasmon resonance) 분석법이 연구되었다. SPR은 형광염료 분석에 필수적인 레이블링(labeling) 등의 전처리 과정 없이 높은 민감도로 분석이 가능한 장점이 있다. 한편, 그래핀은 뛰어난 전자기적 성질과 기계적 성질 을 가지는 반금속(semimetal)으로, 실험실 규모에서 안정적인 합성이 실현되면서 그 응용 분야에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어 지고 있다. 그래핀은 큰 표면적 대 부피비를 가지며, 이는 검출물질과의 반응성이 좋아야 하는 센서기술에 있어서 장점으로 작용한다. 특히, 비금속성을 띠는 단층 그래핀을 여러 장 겹치면 금속성을 갖게 되기 때문에 SPR 센서의 금속 필름으로 응용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 SPR 현상을 이용하는 광섬유 센서의 감도와 정확도를 증진시키기 위해 광섬유 표면에 그래핀을 적용하였다. 광섬유는 상부 피복과 클래딩을 제거하여 코어를 노출시킨 후, 다층 그래핀 필름을 코팅함으로써 검출부를 구성한다. 그 후, DNA-biotin 용액, DNA-biotin 용액, 그리고 Streptavidin 단백질 복합 용액에 대한 검출기 신호를 분석하였다. 구성된 센서에 각 용액을 1 ${\mu}{\ell}$ 씩 반응시켜 분광계로 파장에 따른 광강도를 측정하는 실험을 수행했으며, 450 nm에서 460 nm 범위의 푸른빛의 광원을 사용하였다. 그래핀 필름의 유무에 따라 확연히 구분되는 경향을 보이는 결과를 얻었고 그래핀 필름이 기존 SPR 센서의 금속박막을 대체 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
