Since the motion of the charged particle strongly depends on its charge characteristics, information on charge distributions of target particles is one of the important variables in aerosol research. In this study, charged distribution of atomized NaCl particles were measured using a Gerdien type ion counter. Two kinds of particle charging conditions were used in this study. First, atomized NaCl particles were passed through an aerosol neutralizer to have a Boltzmann charge distribution, and then its charge distribution was measured. In this case, the portion of uncharged particles was compared with the portion obtained from the Boltzmann charge distribution for verifying the suggested experimental method. Second, same experiment was conducted without the aerosol neutralizer to measure the charge distribution of atomized and un-neutralized NaCl particles. In the conclusion, the portion of uncharged, negatively charged and positively charged particles were 19%, 62% and 20%, respectively, for neutralized particles. The atomized particles, which was generated without the aerosol neutralizer, also had almost a zero charge state, but the standard deviation in charge distribution was larger than that of neutralized particles. The test method proposed in this study is expected to be used in various aerosol research fields because it can obtain simple information on the particle charge characteristics more easily and quickly than the existing test methods.

기존의 전류 스티어링 전하 펌프의 타이밍 부정합 감소를 위한 새로운 전하 펌프를 제안한다. 기존의 전류 스티어링 전하 펌프는 UP, DOWN 신호의 입력단에 NMOS를 사용하여 서로 다른 지연단 수를 갖게 된다. 제안한 전하 펌프에서는 DOWN 신호의 입력단에 PMOS를 사용함으로써 UP, DOWN 신호의 지연단 수를 동등하게 한다. 기존의 전류 스티어링 전하 펌프를 최적화하여 시뮬레이션한 결과 턴온과 턴오프에 대하여 지연시간의 차이는 각각 14ns, 6ns 이다. 반면에 제안한 전하 펌프는 타이밍 부정합이 향상되어 턴온과 턴오프에 대하여 지연시간의 차이는 각각 6ns, 5ns 이다. 타이밍 부정합의 감소로 인하여 기준 스퍼는 -26dBc에서 -39dBc로 줄어들었다. 제안하는 전하 펌프는 CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ 공정을 사용하여 설계하였다. 측정 결과 전하 펌프 출력 전압 범위 0.3~1.5V에서 최대 1.5%의 전류 부정합을 보인다.

We describe a charge pump circuit using VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) for storing information into local memories in neural networks. The VCO is used for adjusting the output voltage of the charge pump to the reference voltage and for reducing the fluctuation generated by the clocking scheme. The charge pump circuit is simulated by using Hynix 0.35um CMOS process parameters. The proposed charge pump operates properly regardless to the temperature and the supply voltage variation.

Space charge distributions in silane crosslinked polyethylene (SXLPE)/ crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) laminates was investigated using a pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. XLPE shows heterocharge while SXLPE shows homocharge. Positive charge is accumulated at the interface of SXLPE/XLPE laminate when applied electric field is more than 20 kV/mm. The charge profile at various temperatures was also acquired using temperature-controllable PEA system. Although applied electric field is only 8.6 kV/mm, positive interfacial charge starts to appear near 50$^{\circ}C$.

Charge pump based upon a phase locked loop(PLL) is described. This charge pump show that it is possible to overcome the issue of charge pump current mismatch by using a current subtraction circuit. Also, this charge pump can suppress reference spurs and disturbance of the VCO control voltage. HSPICE simulations are performed using 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process.

The behaviour of interfacial charge in EPDM/XLPE laminates has been investigated by measuring charge distributions using a pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method. Homocharge develops in EPDM while heterocharge develops in XLPE. A broadly interfacial charge peak is observed at EPDM/XLPE interface. When EPDM /XLPE laminates are treated in high temperature for different times, the amount and polarity of interfacial charge are changed.

Photoelectric charging is a very efficient way of charging small particles. This method can be applied to combustion measurement, electrostatic precipitator, metal separation and control of micro-contamination. To understand the photoelectric charging mechanism, particle charging of silver by exposure to ultraviolet is investigated in this study. Average charges and charge distributions are measured at various conditions, using two differential mobility analyzers, a condensation nucleus counter, and an aerosol electrometer. The silver particles are generated in a spark discharge aerosol generator. After that process, the generated particles are charged in the photoelectric charger using low-pressure mercury lamp that emits ultraviolet having wavelength 253.7 nm. The results show that ultra-fine particles are highly charged by the photoelectric charging. The average charges linearly increase with increasing particle size and the charge distribution change with particle size. These results are discussed by comparison with previous experiments and proposed equations. It is assumed that the coefficient of electron emission probability is affected by initial charge. The results also show that the charge distribution of a particle is dependent on initial charge. Single changed particle, uncharged particle and neutralized particle are compared. The differences of charge distribution in each case increase with increasing particle size.

The cause of optical nonlinearity induced in thermally poled silica glass is believed to be the space charge polarization. Since the second order optical nonlinearity (electro-optic effect) can be used in optical switches the optical nonlinearity in silica glass has drawn a large attention. Space charge polarization occurs when an ionic conducting material is subjected to dc electric field by the blocking electrode. Thermal poling performed to induce the optical nonlinearity in silica glass is basically identical to the process generating space charge polarization. As a first step to understand the mechanism of space charge polarization in silica glass hence the induced optical nonlinearity the absorption currents as functions of time were measured for various types of silica glasses and analyzed by the theory of space charge polarization. It was found that the electrical relaxation exhibited a step by the space charge polarization in the relatively long time range and dielectric loss peak showed a maximum at a specific temperature which is depending on type of silica glass. It was turned out that this relaxation might be a cause of nonlinearity in electrical conductivity of silica glass.

CHARGE syndrome has been estimated to occur in 1:10,000 births worldwide and shows various clinical manifestations. It is a genetic disorder characterized by a specific and a recognizable pattern of anomalies. The major clinical features are ocular coloboma, heart malformations, atresia of the choanae, growth retardation, genital hypoplasia, and ear abnormalities. The chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 7 (CHD7) gene, located on chromosome 8q12.1, causes CHARGE syndrome. The CHD7 protein is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent chromatin remodeling protein. A total of 67% of patients clinically diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome have CHD7 mutations. Five hundred twenty-eight pathogenic and unique CHD7 alterations have been identified so far. We describe a patient with a CHARGE syndrome diagnosis who carried a novel de novo mutation, a c.3896T>C (p. leu1299Pro) missense mutation, in the CHD7 gene. This finding will provide more information for genetic counseling and expand our understanding of the pathogenesis and development of CHARGE syndrome.

A cylindrical constant volume combustion chamber was used to investigate the exhaust emission characteristics of homogeneous charge, stratified pattern and inhomogeneous charge under various conditions using gas chromatography. In the case of homogeneous charge condition, the $CO_2$ concentration is proportional to excess air ratio and overall charge pressure, the $CO_2$ concentration is proportional to excess air ratio and the UHC concentration is inversely proportional to ignition time and overall charge pressure. In the case of stratified pattern, the RI(rich injection) condition shows better exhaust emission characteristics, especially $CO_2$, than that of HI (homogeneous injection) or LI (lean injection) conditions. In inhomogeneous charge conditions, when initial charge pressure is increased, $CO_2$ and UHC concentration is reduced but $O_2$ concentration is increased. And when the excess air ratio of initial charge mixture is 3.0, UHC and $CO_2$concentration show lowest values.
