This study aims to review the propagation characteristics of fire alarm sound in building through computer simulation. In order to achieve this goal, the sound power level of existing three different emergency alarms were measured in an anechoic chamber. Sound power level of alarm bell was 98.6dB and electronic-siren speaker was 95.7dB, and electronic-siren phon was 101.8dB at the voltage of DC 24V in the condition of anechoic chamber. As the results of acoustic simulation, it was shown that sound levels at the corridor of the building were relatively high and even. But, there were large difference in sound level at all the frequency bands between corridor and lecture rooms. This mean that alarm sound couldn't be recognized sometimes in lecture rooms. Through the computer simulation, the propagation characteristics of fire alarm sound could be forecasted and compared due to plans of buildings.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Sa-Am spleen-tonifying acupuncture on radial pulse in healthy human subjects. Methods : Forty healthy human subjects participated in this study, divided into acupuncture group and control group. Radial pulse was measured by 3 dimensional pulse imaging system(DMP-3000) before, right after, 30 minutes after and 60 minutes after acupuncture in the acupuncture group. The subjects in the control group didn't received acupuncture but took a rest and then the radial pulse was measured at the same time points as the acupuncture group. The parameters were analyzed by gender, measuring location, and measuring time point. However the time related parameters exceptionally were analyzed without distinction of measuring location. Results : 1. T, variance of period, T2/T, T4/T, (T-T4)/T, T4/(T-T4), and W significantly changed after acupuncture. 2. Pressure, amplitude of H1, amplitude of H2, Amplitude of H4 and pulse energy significantly changed after acupuncture. 3. Pulse area, systolic pulse area and diastolic pulse area significantly changed after acupuncture. 4. Elasticity, AIx and AIx/HR significantly changed after acupuncture. Conclusions : The effect of Sa-Am spleen-tonifying acupuncture in healthy human may be observed on time, amplitude, pulse area and augmentation index. Further studies on the effects of Sa-Am acupuncture using radial pulse are needed.

In the paper, we propose a levitation and a propulsion controller for the magnetic levitation logistic transportation system. The levitation controller is designed considering the mutual influence of the electromagnets to minimize roll and pitch movements. In order to solve the structural disadvantages of the magnetic levitation transportation system, we improve the problem of the existing controller by applying the exponential filter to the reference input. DSP-based control hardware is developed and the levitation control method is verified by levitation experiments to the air gap goal. The propulsion controller uses the space vector voltage modulation method. The propulsion controller is designed to follow the position and velocity profile by detecting the absolute position from the bar code information attached to the rail. The position control result shows satisfactory performance through the propulsion control reciprocating motion experiment.

In this paper, we realize the active PFC(Power Factor Correction) system of BF(Boost Forward) converter with PWM-PFM(Pulse Width Modulation-Pulse Frequency Modulation) control technique to control DC output voltage, to remove the noise like harmonics at output voltage, and to control the input current with sinusoidal wave synchronized by the source voltage.To achieve the desired load voltage and improved PFC, we first implement current shaping control at the inverting stage and make the converted output DC voltage with forward converter. After making the ratio of output voltage to current as 50V/1A and the duty ratio greater than 0.5. When input voltage is 30V and boost inductance is 1.1mH. we control the voltage changing rate according to the variation of load resistance using a PWM-PFM control technique. And finally we prove experimentally, we attenuated its harmonics and improved PF up to 0.96 using the current shaping technique.

본 논문에서는, 경부하 조건에서 저감된 스위칭 손실과 중부하 이상 조건에서 영전압 스위칭을 통해 높은 효율을 가지는 토템폴 브리지리스 역률보상회로를 제안한다. 토템폴 브리지리스 역률보상회로는 기존 브리지 다이오드를 포함한 역률보상회로의 단점인 도통패스 구간의 비교적 많은 소자 수를 통한 도통손실이 다소 큰 단점을 보완한 회로이다. 하지만, 토템폴 브리지리스 역률보상회로는 여전히 하드 스위칭을 통한 손실과 주 파워링 다이오드의 역회복 손실로 인한 단점을 지니고 있게 되며, 그로 인해 현재로써는 높은 효율과 안정적인 동작을 위해서는 부득이 GaN FET를 적용한 개발이 대부분이다. Full 부하 조건의 전류 용량을 고려하여 높은 전류 정격을 가지는 GaN FET를 주 스위치로 활용할 경우, 전류용량과 비례하여 기생 커패시턴스에 의한 손실이 커지기 때문에 경부하 조건에서 높은 효율을 확보하기가 다소 어렵다. 또한 구조상 물리적으로 여전히 하드 스위칭 동작을 할 수 밖에 없기 때문에 서버용 전원장치에서 요구하는 높은 효율을 달성하는데 한계를 지니며 높은 비용이 요구되는 단점을 지니게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 제안하는 회로는 간단한 회로를 통해 경부하 조건에서 저감된 스위칭 손실과 중부하 이상 조건에서 소프트 스위칭을 만족하여 전체 부하 조건에서 기존의 GaN FET을 활용한 토템폴 구조 대비 높은 효율을 가지게 된다. 또한, 토템폴 구조임에도 불구하고 중부하 이상 영역에서 소프트 스위칭 동작을 통해 주 스위치를 비교적 저렴하고 신뢰성이 검증된 Si-MOSFET을 적용할 수 있다는 장점을 지닌다. 제안하는 회로의 효용성을 증명하기 위해, 하이라인 입력 전압과 750W 출력 조건에서 실험을 진행하였다.
