A self-regulating heating cable is an electrical heating element by flowing an electric current between parallel conductors filled with an extruded semi-conductive polymer. Self-regulating heating cables are used mainly for frost protection purposes because the construction is convenient and the price is low. On the other hand, structural problems with imperfections of the insulation can cause a fire despite their usefulness. This paper deduced a direct method to derive the cause by investigating the scene of a fire due to a self-regulating heating cable and analyzed the basic problem using fault tree analysis. In this paper, the actual fire scene was a cold storage warehouse, and fire investigation was conducted. After investigating the fire scene and fault tree analysis, the cause of the fire could be attributed to dielectric breakdown of the self-regulating heating cable. This paper could be utilized in the fire safety activities and similar fire investigations.

In this study, in order to prevent the frost damage of the concrete, the characteristics of the form using heating sheet utilizing the chemical reaction of quicklime and the insulation were evaluated through experiments at low temperature. In the case of form at $-10^{\circ}C$, the form with attached heating sheet showed a temperature history of more than $10^{\circ}C$ higher than that of wood form at the early of concreting due to heat of the quicklime in the heating sheet. In the case of the insulated form, the concrete was kept at a high temperature by preserving the hydration heat. When the heating sheet and the isopink(extruded polystyrene) were attached together on the form, the effect was the same as that of the vacuum insulation. The compressive strength of the form with vacuum insulation and form with isopink, heating sheet as measured about 5 MPa at age 3. The experimental in Mongolia, as with the pervious results, the form with the heating sheet and the insulation showed the highest temperature history over $25^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. Therefore, it was confirmed that the heating sheet and insulation are attached to the form, which helps the concrete strength development at low temperature by heat generation and the insulation effect.

Flow sensor was fabricated with PTC thermistor usually operating as thermostats. The PTC thermistor was manufactured with $(Ba_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})TiO_{3}$ powder and its resistivity as a function of flow velocity was investigated. The resistivity changed from 4.45 $k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ to 3.95 $k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ as flow velocity varied 0 cm/s to 5 cm/s The sensitivities of the PTC thermistor were -204 (${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$)/(cm/s) and -24 (${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$)/(cm/s) at the flow velocity of 1 cm/s and 5 cm/s, respectively.

Flexible electrodes for wearable devices have been actively studied in not only achieving mechanical/electrical stability, but also providing various functionalities for extending its industrial application. In this study, a flexible carbon/PDMS composite is prepared by addition of carbon black (CB) as a conductive filler, and effect of CB with different contents on electrical properties of the composite was investigated for the application of flexible electrodes, temperature sensor and heater. With increase of CB contents, resistivity of the carbon/PDMS was increased, and excellent durability was observed, confirmed by repetitive stretching deformation test. Resistance increase of the carbon/PDMS with temperature reveals the property of positive temperature coefficient, which can be applied for temperature sensor. Also, joule heating on the carbon/PDMS was observed when electrical potential was applied, indicating the applicability of the carbon/PDMS for heater.

Open heart surgery with hypothermia in patients with cold agglutinin can cause severe complications by hemolysis and hemagglutination of red blood cells. A 41 year-old male patient with mitral stenosis was admitted due to fever and cough. After antibiotics treatment, he was scheduled to undergo mitral valve replacement. In the operation room, we found agglutination of blood cardioplegia during lowering temperature of cardioplegia. And then, the cardioplegia was changed to warm cardioplegia and the operation was performed under normothermia due to the suspicion of the cold reactive protein. The operation was performed uneventfully. Postoperatively, cold agglutinin was confirmed by immunochemistry of the patient\`s serum.

We had investigated thermal stability, Ignition temperature and fire gas for polyurethane foams used for manikin, cushion and interior finishing material. Decomposition of polyurethane foams with temperature was investigated using a DSC and the weight loss with temperature increase using a TGA in order to find the thermal hazard of polyurethane foams, and the ignition temperature of polyurethane foams according to species. We studied constant temperature among ignition temperature measuring methods. In addition, noxious gases for polyurethane foams according to combustion condition were analyzed using gas analyzer and GASTEC. As results, initial decomposition temperature of polyurethane foam used for interior finishing material was lower than those for manikin and cushion, and exothermic energy was higher. Ignition temperature of polyurethane foam of interior finishing material was $420^{\circ}$. All of combustion forms at $427^{\circ}$ and under were smoldering combustion, and it was combustion at $500^{\circ}$. As furnace temperature was increased, concentration of noxious gases such as carbon oxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen cyanide was increased. And nitrogen oxide at combustion condition($500^{\circ}$) was over 10 ppm.

$BaTiO_3$를 기본조성으로 하는 PTC 써미스터는 Curie 온도이상에서 저항이 급격히 상승하는 산화물 반도체 세라믹이다. 이러한 성질을 이용하여 degaussing 소자, 정온 발열체, 온도센서, 전류 제한소자 등 상업적으로 여러 분야에서 연구되고 있다. 또한 원가절감 등을 위하여 Ni 내부전극을 사용하여 환원 분위기에서 소결하는 칩 타입에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Sm 함량(0.1at%~1.0at%)을 달리한 $BaTiO_3$(Si, Mn, Ca) 계를 선택하여 3%$H_2/N_2$ 분위기에서 1200~$1260^{\circ}C$, 2h 소결한 후 공기 중에서 재산화 처리하고 재산화 시간에 따른 PTC 특성 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 재산화 온도와 시간은 각각 $800^{\circ}C$와 0.5h~10h으로 하였다. Sm 함량을 달리하여 환원 분위기에서 소결한 시편의 미세구조와 PTC 특성과의 상관관계를 관찰한 결과, 소결온도가 낮을수록 PTC 특성은 좋아졌으며, 상온 비저항은 Sm 함량이 높아질수록 낮아졌다. 또한 Sm 함량이 높아질수록 jumping ratio$(R_{max}/R_{25^{\circ}C})$는 낮아졌다. 재산화 시간에 따른 PTC 특성은 다소 떨어졌지만 소결온도에 따라 달리 나타났다. Jumping ratio$(R_{max}/R_{25^{\circ}C})$는 Sm을 0.7 at% 첨가한 계에서 재산화를 1시간 처리한 시편에서 가장 우수하였다.

This paper is studied on a protective control system for electrical fire used electrical characteristics of SCR and multilayer-type PTC thermistor. The PTC thermistor has characteristic or positive resistivity temperature coefficient according to the temperature variation, which is construction of a regular square and cube demarcation with $BaTiO_{3_}$Ceramics of positive temperature coefficient. Also PTC shows the phenomenon which is rapidly increased in the resistivity if the temperature is increased over Curie temperature point. This paper is proposed on a protective control system used multilayer-type PTC which is protected from electrical fire due to electric short circuit faults or overload faults. Some experimental results of the proposed apparatus is confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.
