A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrain has more than one energy source including a high-voltage electric battery. However, for a high voltage electric battery, the average current is relatively low for a given power level. Introduced to increase the voltage of a HEV battery, a compact, high-efficiency boost converter, sometimes called a step-up converter, is a dc-dc converter with an output voltage greater than its input voltage. The inductor occupies more than 30% of the total converter volume making it difficult to get high power density. The inductor should have the characteristics of good thermal stability, low weight, low losses and low EMI. In this paper, Mega Flux^® was selected as the core material among potential core candidates. Different structured inductors with Mega Flux^® were fabricated to compare the performance between the conventional air cooled and proposed potting structure. The proposed inductor has reduced the weight by 75% from 8.8kg to 2.18kg and the power density was increased from 15.6W/cc to 56.4W/cc compared with conventional inductor. To optimize the performance of proposed inductor, the potting materials with various thermal conductivities were investigated. Silicone with alumina was chosen as potting materials due to the high thermo-stable properties. The proposed inductors used potting material with thermal conductivities of 0.7W/m·K, 1.0W/m·K and 1.6W/m·K to analyze the thermal performance. Simulations of the proposed inductor were fulfilled in terms of magnetic flux saturation, leakage flux and temperature rise. The temperature rise and power efficiency were measured with the 40kW boost converter. Experimental results show that the proposed inductor reached the temperature saturation of 107℃ in 20 minutes. On the other hand, the temperature of conventional inductor rose by 138℃ without saturation. And the effect of thermal conductivity was verified as the highest thermal conductivity of potting materials leads to the lowest temperature saturations.

This work covers an important point of the benchmark released by the expert group on Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling of Light Water Reactors. This ambitious benchmark aims to determine the uncertainty in light water reactors systems and processes in all stages of calculation, with emphasis on multi-physics (coupled) and multi-scale simulations. The Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit methodology is used to propagate the thermal-hydraulic uncertainty of macroscopic parameters through TRACE5.0p3/PARCSv3.0 coupled code. The main innovative points achieved in this work are i) a new thermal-hydraulic model is developed with a highly-accurate 3D core discretization plus an iterative process is presented to adjust the 3D bypass flow, ii) a control rod insertion occurrence -which data is obtained from a real PWR test- is used as a transient simulation, iii) two approaches are used for the propagation process: maximum response where the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis is performed for the maximum absolute response and index dependent where the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis is performed at each time step, and iv) RESTING MATLAB code is developed to automate the model generation process and, then, propagate the thermal-hydraulic uncertainty. The input uncertainty information is found in related literature or, if not found, defined based on expert judgment. This paper, first, presents the Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit methodology to propagate the uncertainty in thermal-hydraulic macroscopic parameters and, then, shows the results when the methodology is applied to a PWR reactor.

본 논문에서는 InGaP/GaAs hetero-junction bipolar transistor(HBT)를 이용하여 900 MHz에서 동작하는 1 W급 선형 전력 증폭기를 설계 및 검증하였다. 온도 변화에 따른 증폭기의 특성 변화를 최소화하기 위해 능동 바이어스 회로를 구성하였다. 전류 붕괴(current collapse)와 열 폭주(thermal runaway)를 방지하기 위하여 ballast 저항을 삽입하여 전력 증폭기의 성능 및 신뢰성을 최적화하였다. 제작된 선형 전력 증폭기는 중심 주파수 900 MHz의 one-tone 신호를 사용하였을 때, 17.6 dB의 전력 이득과 30 dBm의 OP1dB를 가지며, 이때 44.9 %의 PAE를 갖는다. 또한, two-tone 신호를 인가하였을 때, 20 dBm의 평균 출력 전력에서 47.3 dBm의 매우 높은 OIP3를 갖는다.

Polysilicon resistors with high thermal stability have been fabricated by a new mixed process using POCl$_{3}$ doping and arsenic implantation. Varous temeprature coefficients, which range form 510 ppm/.deg. C to -302 ppm/.deg. C, were shown from the fabricated polysilicon resistors with sheet resistance of 58~107 .ohm./sq in the operating temeprature of 27~150.deg. C. The temperature coefficient of the polysilicon resistor by the mixed technology was about 4.3 times as low compared to the conventional polysilicon resistor using POCl$_{3}$ doped single process with the same sheet resistance of 75.ohm./sq. In addition, the mixed technology can be applied to obtain nearly zero temperature coefficient for polysilicon resistors which are reliable and insensitive to temperature.

$NH_3-O_2$의 열반응에 의해 산화막을 성장시키는 새로운 방법을 소개하고, 기존의 건식산화방법을 이용한 $SiO_2$박막의 특성을 비교 설명하였다. $NH_3$의 유량에 따라서 박막의 성장비가 증가하고, 성장된 막의 구성성분이 건식산화때와 같음을 확인하였다. C-V특성곡선에서도 $Q_{OX}$와 $Q_{SS}$가 거의같았고 히스테리시스현상도 없었다. 또한 n-MOS트랜지스터를 제작하고 측정한 결과 $I_D$-$V_{DS}$특성곡선이 건식산화와 비교하여 우수함을 확인했다.

Face recognition is an extensively researched area of computer vision. Visible, infrared, thermal, and 3D modalities have been used against various challenges of face recognition such as illumination, pose, expression, partial information, and disguise. In this paper we present a multi-modal approach to face recognition using convolutional neural networks. We use visible and thermal face images as two separate inputs to a multi-input deep learning network for face recognition. The experiments are performed on IRIS visible and thermal face database and high face verification rates are achieved.

The thermal distribution of 2D and 3D p-n photovoltaic diode structures with and without surface texturing has been studied. By analysis of the numerical simulation results of the I-V characteristics and lattice temperature distributions the effect of different texturing structures on the characteristics of silicon p-n photovoltaic devices has been studied systematically. The efficiency of the device having surface texturing shows more than ~2% enhancement compared to the reference devices which did not have texturing. In addition, the effect of the density of the texturing groove has been studied and it has been confirmed that the texturing structure not only improves the light trapping but also plays an important role in the heat radiation.

The objective of this study was to perform 3D solid modeling from 3D scanned surface images of cotton and silk in order to calculate the thermal heat transfer responses using numerical simulations. Continuing from the previous methodology, which provided 3D surface data for a fabric through optical measurements of the fabric microstructure, a simplified 3D solid model, containing a defined unit cell, pattern unit and fabric structure, was prepared. The loft method was used for 3D solid-model generation, and heat transfer calculations, made for the fabric, were then carried out using the 3D solid model. As a result, comprehensive protocols for 3D solid-model generation were established based on the optical measurements of real fabric samples. This method provides an effective means of using 3D information for building 3D models of actual fabrics and applying the model in numerical simulations. The developed process can be used as the basis for other analogous research areas to investigate the physical characteristics of any fabrics.

For generation and analysis of the multi-sensory image, we propose a new three dimensional (3D) modeling method considering an iternal heat source. We represent the heat conduction process within th object as an equivalent thermal circuit. Therefore, without a complex computation, our modeling approach can obtain thermal features of the object. By using the faceted model, the proposed method can express the accurate visual signatures of the object. Comparing the estimates datum with the obtained surface temperatures, we have demonstrated that the proposed method can provide a precise thermal features. The thermal images by out model is applicable to simulate a tracking loop of an IR missile.
