본 논문에서는 PC 상의 가상환경과 사용자간의 몰입형 상호작용 인터페이스로서 햅틱 마우스 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 햅틱 마우스는 진동감각 및 온열감을 제공하여 몰입감을 높인다. 진동 모듈은 편심모터와 솔레노이드 액추에이터로 구성하였으며 온열감 모듈은 작은 필름형태의 온도 센서와 펠티어 효과기반의 열 펌프를 이용하여 구축한다. 본 햅틱 마우스 시스템의 효용성을 보이기 위해 레이싱 게임 어플리케이션을 제작한 후 이를 사용하여 실험을 수행한다. 실험 결과로부터 제안하는 햅틱 마우스가 가상환경에서 몰입감을 증가시키며 가상환경과 사용자간의 효과적인 인터페이스로 사용될 수 있음을 증명한다.

The electronic refrigerating kimchi jar operates with a low noise because it contains no compressor but it consumes more energy than that of an refrigerator with compressor. In this paper, the heat flow characteristics and cooling performance of an electronic refrigerating kimchi jar are studied by means of experiments. When the storage temperature is kept in a range of $-5.7^{\circ}C$ to $4.1^{\circ}C$. in the case of three ambient temperatures; $12.7^{\circ}C$, $22.3^{\circ}C$ and $32.2^{\circ}C$, the cooling performance of $20{\ell}$ kimchi jar is investigated. The experiments show that the temperature difference that exists between kimchi jar and its ambient provides a measure of the coefficient of performance of kimchi jar. It is also found that ratio of net pumping heat to the heat pumping rate of thermoelectric module is independent of the temperature difference.

The three-dimensional numerical analysis has been carried out to figure out the effect of the thermoelectric element thickness on the thermal performance of the thermo-electric micro-cooler. The small-size and column-type thermoelectric cooler is considered. It is known that tellurium compounds currently have the highest cooling performance around the room temperature. Thus, in the present study, $Bi_{2}Te_{3}$ and $Sb_{2}Te_{3}$ are selected as the n- and p-type thermoelectric materials, respectively. The thermoelectric leg considered is less than $20{\mu}m$ thick. The thickness of the leg may affect the thermal and electrical transport through the interfaces between the leg and metal conductors. The effect of the thermoelectric element thickness on the thermal performance of the cooler has been investigated with parameters such as the temperature difference, the current, and the cooling power.

This paper presents the effects of thermoelectric module arrangement on the cooling performance of an air conditioner using thermoelectric module. A prototype of air cooling system, employing several thermoelectric modules, has been designed and built. The evaporative cooling technique is adopted for hot side of the module. The number of thermoelectric module in the system has been varied in the range of $2{\sim}8$. The optimal operation conditions, such as input power to the thermoelectric module, fans and pump, have been determined for each arrangement of the system and the cooling performance has been compared under the optimal operation. It is found that both cooling capacity and COP are increased as the number of thermoelectric module increased. It is also found that cooling capacity can be improved by connecting the thermoelectric modules in series than in parallel, while the COP is little affected.

Research for climate control seats is being vigorously pursued because requests for passenger's thermal comfort are increasing. Recently, thermoelectric devices have been applied to automotive seats for both cooling and heating operations. The climate control seats using thermoelectric devices can rapidly control the air temperature passing through the devices and directly affect the thermal comfort of passengers. The performance characteristics of the climate control seats were analyzed by experiments for two different types of a leather covered seat and a mesh applied seat. Experimental results show that the cooling and heating performance for the mesh applied seat by using the discharge port of the shape of nozzle was improved significantly in comparison with that for the leather covered seat. The variation of temperature between the inlet air and the outlet air of the climate control seat for the enhanced mesh applied type was by $-3.5^{\circ}C$ at cooling mode, and was by $15.0^{\circ}C$ at heating mode, after about 30 minutes, respectively. Also, it is possible to provide rapid thermal comfort to passengers sitting on the seat in the vehicle cabin by using the proposed climate control seat.

신재생에너지는 개발도상국의 농촌 지역의 지속가능한 개발을 위한 필수 요소이다. 나아가, 독립형 신재생에너지 발전 시스템을 의료 분야에 응용하여 삶의 질을 증진시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 개발도상국에서 백신을 안전하게 보관하고 보급하여, 콜드체인 영역을 확장하기 위해서 신재생에너지 기반 백신 공급 시스템을 구축하였다. 백신 공급 시스템은 신재생 에너지로 전기를 공급하는 보건소와 이를 연결하는 스마트 백신 캐리어로 구성되었다. 백신 캐리어는 펠티어 소자를 이용하여 냉각 시스템을 개선하였고, 위치 및 온도 모니터링 장비를 설치하였다. 또한, 네팔의 남부 마을에서 현장시험과 지형학적 분석으로 개발된 시스템의 성능 및 효과를 평가하였다. 신재생에너지 시스템은 보건소의 냉장고를 정상적으로 작동시켰으며, 백신 캐리어는 더욱 긴 냉장 시간과 안정적인 온도 조절 성능을 확보하였다. 지형학적 분석 결과, 본 시스템이 기존보다 넓은 지역으로 백신을 보급할 수 있을 것으로 추정하였다. 따라서, 신재생에너지와 스마트 기기의 도입이 콜드체인 영역을 확장하고 백신 공급율을 증가시켜, 결과적으로 개발도상국의 농촌 지역 의료 서비스를 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
