This paper presents a tunable band pass filter (BPF) for multi bio-signal detection. The bandwidth can be controlled by the bias current of transconductance (gm), while conventional BPF exploited switchable capacitor array for band selection. With this design technique, the die area of proposed BPF reduced to at least one tenth the area of conventional design. The simulation results show the high cut-off frequency tuning range of from 100Hz to 1Khz. The circuit was implemented with a 0.18um CMOS standard technology. Total current consumption is 1uA at the supply voltage of 1V with sub-threshold design technique.

Background: Conventional ascending aortic cross clamping is often limited. This study was carried out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an endovascular aortic clamping technique with an intraaortic balloon catheter. Material and Method: From April 2004 to January 2007, surgery with endoaortic clamping was performed in seven patients. A retrograde access perfusion (RAP) catheter was used in six patients and a Pruitt's balloon catheter in two patients. The indication for the operation was a retrosternal pseudoaneurysm of the aortic root in six patients, diffuse calcification of the ascending aorta with aortic regurgitation in 2 patients and an atrial septal defect in one patient. Five patients had at least two prior cardiac surgeries. Result: Successful insertion of the catheter and endoaortic clamping was achieved in all patients. Conclusion: The endovascular aortic clamping technique with a balloon catheter was a useful alternative method for patients in whom conventional cardiac surgery was limited.

We propose a hyperbolic metastructure based on a nanopatterned metal (Ag)-dielectric (PDMS) multilayer and report on its performance in an infrared (IR) cut-off filter for imaging devices. By optimizing the size of the square-shaped Ag nanopattern and the thickness of PDMS surrounding the Ag nanopattern, the proposed IR cut-off filter blocks 99% of light in the 0.70-1.01 ㎛ wavelength band while maintaining a high transmittance of over 94% in the visible region. Here, the cut-off wavelength band starts at a region above the epsilon-near-zero wavelength of the hyperbolic metastructure and ends at the point where plasmonic absorption appears strongly. It is observed that transmittance in the wavelength region longer than the IR cut-off band increases again due to plasmonic coupling among horizontally adjacent Ag nanopatterns. This metastructure can improve the performance of IR-blocking filters as well as allow it to be manufactured ultra-thin, which is applicable to various planar optical elements and integrated optical components.

This paper studies on an arc fault interruption control circuit (AFICC) of fault voltage sensing type. The proposed voltage sensing type AFICC (VST_AFICC) is an electrical fire prevention apparatus that operates the existing circuit breaker with sensing the instantaneous voltage drop of line voltage when occurs electrical faults. The existing Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELB), Molded_case Circuit Breaker (MCCB), and Residual Current Protective Devices (RCDs) used in low voltage distributing system don't have protective capability from electric arc faults to be a major factor of electrical fire. In this paper to improve such problems, a new VST_AFICC using the distortion of voltage waveform when occurs electrical faults is proposed to prevent electrical fire. There is characteristic that the control method of proposed apparatus is different from previous current sensing type. The proposed AFICC has merit that is manufactured by small size and light weight. The practicality of a new VST_AFICC is also verified through various operation analysis.

노지 고추 수확작업은 7~9월에 걸쳐 5~6회 수행되며 가장 더운 한 여름의 태양볕에 노출되어 장시간 수확작업을 하며 노지채소 및 고추 수확작업시 자외선 과다 노출되어 악성흑생종, 광선각화증, 편평세포 암 및 각종 피부암발생의 원인되기 때문에 적절한 해가림 장치의 설계가 필요하다. 해를 가려주는 장치에 사용되는 재질로는 우산 및 양산에 널리 사용되어지는 섬유로 폴리에스테르를 선정하였으며 두께로 우산의 재질로 많이 사용되는 75 denier을 채택하였다. 코팅의 종류로는 Foam, Milky, Silver, 폴리우레탄을 채택하여 섬유의 코팅 종류에 따른 차단 효과를 실험하였다. 실험 방법으로서는 KS K 0850 텍스타일의 자외선 차단율 및 차단지수 시험방법에 의거 하여 실험하였다. 자외선 UV-A(365n/m), UV-B(315n/m) 측정장치는 자외선 센서, UV램프, 인디케이터로 구성된 측정기를 이용하였으며 각 재료별 5회 반복 실시하여 평균치를 산출 하였다. UV-A(365n/m) 측정값으로는 FOAM, MILKY코팅이 된 섬유재질이 KS의 우산 및 양산품질표시기준에 부합하여 해가림 장치에 사용이 적절하였으며 UV-B(315n/m) 파장 차단율 측정값으로는 KS의 우산 및 양산품질표시기준에 모두 부합되었다. 또한 해가림 장치는 태양고도에 따라 각도를 조절 가능한 형태로 설계하였으며 직사광선이 가장 강한 시간대인 10시부터 12시를 기준하여 틸팅의 최대 각도는 20도로 개발하였다. 또한 바람에 의한 날림현상을 방지하고 통풍효과를 높이기 위해서 해가림 장치의 섬유를 2중 구조로 설계하여 바람의 순환이 되게하였다.

In this study, the hybrid breakwater system - a breakwater system combining the floating breakwater with the submerged breakwater - is used to improve the wave screening performance that may not be achieved by using the floating breakwater or the submerged breakwater, separately. Two-dimensional finite element method is used for numerical analysis and the wave reflection ratio and the wave transmission ratio are analyzed for the proposed case. In case of using the hybrid breakwater system, wave screening performance is more effective than in case of using the floating breakwater or the submerged breakwater, separately. It also shows an effective wave screening on the long wave period and an advanced wave screening performance with low height of the submerged breakwater.

Conventional Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCBs) have defects of a breaking failure or a long breaking-time against parallel arc current. In this paper, breaking characteristics of conventional ELCBs were analyzed by simulation of parallel arc in a low-voltage indoor wiring system, and an air-core current sensor and a signal converter being most available for parallel arc detection were developed and applied to a conventional ELCB. The proposed tripped the ELCB regardless of the location of parallel arc. The breaking-time was in ranges of $1.74{\sim}8.3[ms]$ depending on the phase of arc generation, which is about 5 times as fast as conventional ELCBs with the breaking-time of 50[ms].

A device which could cut off the consumption of standby power by electric or electronic devices at homes and offices while waiting for a command to carry out the main functions from the inside or the outside was developed at a low price. Efforts to save standby power have been made on a global scale as well as by advanced countries. The consumption of standby power in South Korea is also increasing gradually due to increasing trend in the number of electronic and electric devices per household, becoming a major factor for waste of electric energy. The previous standby power cutoff devices themselves have high electric energy consumption and complicated structures, making the purpose less meaningful. Therefore, a low-priced standby power cutoff device is suggested in this study, which compensates such problems and cuts off the consumption of standby power completely. The circuit of the suggested standby power cutoff device was designed and implemented by applying it to an earth leakage breaker and an (electrical) outlet. Experimental results show its superiority.
