Currently, unmanned military vehicles under development in Korea have more devices to carry out various missions, and interface cables between them are also increasing. In addition, due to a small space problem inside the unmanned vehicle, devices are required to be miniaturized and integrated. For two reasons, connectors also need to be selected, which makes them vulnerable to noise due to the closer distance between the pins. In this paper, we analyzed how much the magnetic field produced by noise at the connector pin where cable twist is released affects the surrounding pin and presented the guide for optimal pin placement. First, the effect of magnetic field is greater than the crosstalk between pin and pin. Second, the magnetic field on both sides between + and - is strong when approaching one step with noise source. Third, the magnetic field strength is improved when setting the ground pin as the ground pin between the noise and the original signal when approaching the A noise source and the two steps. Fourth, in the case of a differential mode communication, the optimal placement area of the sensitive signal was presented according to positions Tx± and Rx±.

In this paper, a 4bit cell way structure of PoRAM and the sensing method to drive this structure are researched. PoRAM has a different operation from existing SRAM and DRAM. The operation is that when certain voltage is applied between top electrode and bottom electrode of PoRAM device we can classify the cell state by measuring cell current which is made by changing resistance of the cell. In the decoder selected by new-addressing method in the cell array, the row decoder is selected "High" and the column decoder is selected "Low" then certain current will flow to the bit-line. Because this current is detect, in order to make large enough current, the voltage sense amplifier is used. In this case, usually, 1-stage differential amplifier using current mirror is used. Furthermore, the detected value at the cell is current, so a diode connected NMOSFET, that is, a device resistor is used at the input port of the differential amplifier to converter current into voltage. Using this differential amplifier, we can classify the cell states, erase mode is "Low" and write mode is "High", by comparing the input value, Vin, that is a product of current value multiplied by resistor value with a reference voltage, Vref.

According to the new climate change agreement, technology development to reduce greenhouse gases is actively conducted worldwide, and research on energy efficiency improvement in the field of power generation and transmission and distribution is underway [1,2]. Economic analysis of the operation method of storing and supplying surplus electricity using energy storage devices, and using energy storage devices as a frequency adjustment reserve power in regional cogeneration plants has been reported as the most profitable operation method [3-7]. Therefore, this study conducted an economic analysis for the installation of energy storage devices in the combined heat and power plant in the Czech Republic. The most important factor in evaluating the economics of battery energy storage devices is the lifespan, and the warranty life is generally 10 to 15 years, based on charging and discharging once a day. For the simulation, the ratio of battery and PCS was designed as 1: 1 and 1: 2. In general, the primary frequency control is designed as 1: 4, but considering the characteristics of the cogeneration plant, it is set at a ratio of up to 1: 2, and the capacity is simulated at 1MW to 10MW and 2MWh to 20MWh according to each ratio. Therefore, life was evaluated based on the number of cycles per year. In the case of installing a battery energy storage system in a combined heat and power plant in the Czech Republic, the payback period of 3MW / 3MWh is more favorable than 5MW / 5MWh, considering the local infrastructure and power market. It is estimated to be about 3 years or 5 years from the simple payback period considering the estimated purchase price without subsidies. If you lower the purchase price by 50%, the purchase cost is an important part of the cost for the entire lifetime, so the payback period is about half as short. It can be, but it is impossible to secure profitability through the economy at the scale of 3MWh and 5MWh. If the price of the electricity market falls by 50%, the payback period will be three years longer in P1 mode and two years longer in P2 and P3 modes.

Increasing heat generation in CPUs can hamper effective recirculation and by-pass because of the large temperature difference between the exhaust and the intake air through a server room. This increases the overall temperature inside a data center and decreases the efficiency of the data center's cooling system. The purpose of the data center's cooling system is to separate the intake and exhaust air by controlling the computer room air-conditioner(CRAC). In this study, ICEPAK is used to conduct a numerical analysis of a data center's cooling system. The temperature distribution and the entire room are analyzed for different volumetric flow rates. The optimized volumetric flow rate is found for each CPU power. The heat removal and temperature distribution for CPU powers of 100, 120, and 140 W are found to be the best for a volumetric flow rate of $0.15m^3/s$. The numerical analysis is verified through RTI indicators, and the results appear to be the most reliable when the RTI value is 81.

Home service robot are not working in the fixed task such as industrial robot, because they are together with human in the same indoor space, but have to do in much more flexible and various environments. Most of them are developed on the base of the wheel-base mobile robot in the same method as a vehicle robot for factory automation. In these days, for holonomic system characteristics, omni-directional wheels are used in the mobile robot. A holonomicrobot, using omni-directional wheels, is capable of driving in any direction. But trajectory control for omni-directional mobile robot is not easy. Especially, azimuth control which sensor uncertainty problem is included is much more difficult. This paper develops trajectory controller of 3-wheels omni-directional mobile robot using fuzzy azimuth estimator. A trajectory controller for an omni-directional mobile robot, which each motor is controlled by an individual PID law to follow the speed command from inverse kinematics, needs a precise sensing data of its azimuth and exact estimation of reference azimuth value. It has imprecision and uncertainty inherent to perception sensors for azimuth. In this paper, they are solved by using fuzzy logic inference which can be used straightforward to perform the control of the mobile robot by means of the fuzzy behavior-based scheme already existent in literature. Finally, the good performance of the developed mobile robot is confirmed through live tests of path control task.

Most of the greenhouses employ the roll-up type ventilation control system. Torque required to roll-up and down might be theoretically expressed with the weight times radius of the ventilation roll; however, measured torques were two times of the theoretically estimated values. As the window film of roll-up vent is used over the periods of time, the warping and crumpling of the material caused the increase of the torque in addition to a span deformation. Therefore, this study was performed to develop an empirical torque formulae to present basic torque data and to assist the development of roll-up type ventilation control system. The empirically adjusted rolling radius (r＋a) exponentially increased at the maximum span deformation. The coefficient of rolling resistance (Cr) was about 0.7―0.8 depending upon the wrinkle status of film material.

양자점(Quantum dots)은 3차원적 운반자 구속과 낮은 전류와 높은 온도에서 작동하는 나노 크기의 전기적, 광학적 소자로 응용이 적합하기 때문에 그 특성을 이용한 단전자 트랜지스터, 적외선 검출기, 레이저, LED, 태양전지 등 반도체 소자로의 응용연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 양자점의 낮은 임계전류밀도와 높은 차동 이득(differential gain), 그리고 고온에서 작동이 용이하여 양자점 레이저로 활용되고 있다. 이러한 분야에 양자점을 응용하기 위해서는 양자점의 운반자 동역학을 이해하고 양자점의 모양, 크기, 크기 분포와 같은 특성 조절이 필요하다. 또한 기존의 연구들은 III-V족 화합물 반도체 양자점에 대한 연구가 대부분이며, II-VI족으로 구성된 연구가 미흡한 상황이기 때문에 II-VI족 화합물 반도체 양자점에 대한 많은 연구가 필요한 상황이다. II-VI 족 화합물 반도체 양자점은 기존의 III-V 족 양자점보다 더 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지(exciton binding energy)를 가지고 있으며, 이러한 특성을 가지는 II-VI 족 화합물 반도체 양자점 중에서도 CdTe 양자점은 높은 엑시톤 결합에너지와 녹색 스펙트럼 영역을 필요로 하는 광학적 장치들에 응용 가능성이 높기 때문에 더욱 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자 선속 에피 성장법(Molecular Beam Epitaxy; MBE)과 원자 층 교대 성장법(Atomic Layer Epitaxy; ALE)으로 CdTe/ZnTe 나노구조에서 ZnTe 완충층의 두께에 따른 운반자 동역학 및 광학적 특성을 연구 하였다. 저온 광루미네센스 측정(Photoluminescence; PL) 을 통하여 ZnTe 완충층 두께가 증가할수록 양자점의 광루미네센스 피크가 낮은 에너지로 이동함을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 ZnTe 완충층의 두께가 증가할수록 ZnTe 완충층과 CdTe 양자점의 격자 불일치(lattice mismatch)로 인한 구조 변형력이 감소하고 이에 따라 CdTe 양자점으로 가해지는 변형(Strain)이 감소하여 CdTe 양자점의 크기가 증가했기 때문이다. 그리고 ZnTe 완충층의 두께가 증가할수록 PL 세기가 증가함을 알 수 있었는데, 이는 ZnTe 완충층의 두께가 증가할수록 양자 구속 효과로부터 electronic state와 conduction band edge 사이의 에너지 차이의 증가 때문이다. 또한 시분해 광루미네센스 측정 결과 ZnTe의 두께가 증가할수록 양자점의 소멸 시간이 더 길게 측정되었는데, 이는 더 큰 양자점 일수록 엑시톤 오실레이터 강도가 감소하기 때문에 더 긴 소멸 시간을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 본 연구는 ZnTe 두께 변화를 통해 양자점의 에너지 밴드를 제어할 수 있으며, 양자점의 효율 향상을 할 수 있는 좋은 방법임을 제시하고 있다.
