Ni and Ni-Cr porous metals which are estimated to be easy to fabricate by squeeze casting are used as strengtheners for composite materials. As a matrix material, Al-7%wtSi-0.3 wt%Mg(AC4C) has been used. In case of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite, $750^{\circ}C$ melt temperature and minimum 25 MPa squeezing pressure are needed to produce sound composite materials. The observation of interfacial reaction zone at various heat treatment condition showed that solutionizing temperature of above 520^{\circ}C$, the interfacial reaction zone increased proportionally with increasing heat treatment tim and reaction products formed by interfacial reaction are mainly composed of $Al_3Ni$ and $Al_3Ni_2$ phases. The tensile strength of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite is lower than the matrix metal and this can be explained by the brittle intermetallic compounds formed at the interface of Ni and Ni-Cr reinforcements. But the properies of hardness, wear resistance and thermal expansion are better than the matrix due to the strengthening effect of Ni-Cr porous metals.

Single OLED and tandem OLED was manufactured to analyze the electroluminescence characteristics of DC driving, AC driving, and full-wave rectification driving. The threshold voltage of OLED was the highest in DC driving, and the lowest in full-wave rectification driving due to an improvement of current injection characteristics. The luminance at a driving voltage lower than 10.5 V (8,534 cd/m²) of single OLED and 20 V (7,377 cd/m²) of a tandem OLED showed that the full-wave rectification drive is higher than that of DC drive. The luminous efficiency of OLED is higher in full-wave rectification driving than in DC driving at low voltage, but decrease at high voltage. The full-wave rectification power source may obtain higher current density, higher luminance, and higher current efficiency than the AC power source. In addition, it was confirmed that the characteristics of AC driving and full-wave rectification driving can be predicted from DC driving characteristics by comparing the measured values and calculated values of AC driving and full-wave rectification driving emission characteristics. From the above results, it can be seen that OLED lighting with improved electroluminescence characteristics compared to DC driving is possible using full-wave rectification driving and tandem OLED.

This paper includes AC servo motor speed control usig the predictive control strategy. Generally, AC servo motor control should have the fast response characteristics. For the issue, sliding mode control and PID control have been applied. However, the former has the speed ripple response due to the chattering and the latter requires the many trial efforts. Originally, the predictive control which has been used in process control area does not need the priori knowledge for the application system and it is easy to compute the optimal gain with the prediction. In this paper, the TMS320C31 DSP pocessor is used for AC motor control with fst dynamics and the tuning guid-line for the parameters of the predictive control algorithm is given in order to reduce the computation load. Also, the actuator saturationis implemented uisngthe QP(Quadratic Programming) method and the transient response is improved by the identified intertia coefficient when AC motor is drived at forward/reverse rotation.

Diglycidy1 ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/4,4'-methylene dianiline(MDA)계의 경화반응 속도에 미치는 pheny1 glycidy1 ether (PGE)-acetamide(AcAm)의 영향을 연구하였다. 반응성 첨가제로 사용된 PGE-AcAm는 PGE와 acetamide를 2:1의 몰 비로 혼합한 후 18$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 반응시켜서 합성하였으며, PGE의 에폭사이드기와 AcAm의 아민기가 반응함으로써 수산기를 형성함에 의해 진행되었다. 이 때 생성된 수산기는 DGEBA와 MDA의 반응에서 촉매로 작용하여 반응속도를 크게 활성화 에너지는 11.11 Kcal/mol이었고, 30 phr의 PGE-AcAm이 첨가된 계의 활성화 에너지는 7.91Kcal/mol이었다.

This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of mixed extracts of Achyranthes japonica Nakai (Aj) and Aralia continentalis Kitagawa (Ac) (ratios of 1 : 2, 1 : 3, 1 : 5, 2 : 1, 3 : 1 and 5 : 1) on RAW264.7 macrophages. Cell toxicity was determined using a cell counting kit (CCK) assay. We evaluated anti-inflammatory effects of the mixed extracts of Aj and Ac by measuring interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor $(TNF){\alpha}$ using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit assay. The mixed extracts of Aj and Ac inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced $IL-1{\beta}$ and $TNF{\alpha}$ in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Comparing different ratios of the mixed extracts, the 2 : 1 ratio of Aj and Ac has much more potency and inhibited the production of $TNF{\alpha}$ in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The results of the present study showed that the mixed extracts of Aj and Ac have potential anti-inflammatory effects on RAW264.7 macrophages. Therefore, these extracts may be used as a good source of functional foods for the protection against inflammatory diseases.

A 1.9-GHz linear CMOS power amplifier is presented. An adaptive bias circuit (ABC) that utilizes an AC ground to detect the power level of the input signal is proposed to enhance the linearity and efficiency of the power amplifier. The ABC utilizes the second harmonic component as the input to mitigate the distortion of the fundamental signal. The input power level of the ABC was detected at the AC ground located at the V_DD node of the power amplifier. The output of the ABC was fed into the inputs of the power stage. The input signal distortion was mitigated by detecting the input power level at the AC ground. The power amplifier was designed using a 180 nm RFCMOS process to evaluate the feasibility of the application of the proposed ABC in the power amplifier. The measured output power and power-added efficiency were improved by 1.7 dB and 2.9%, respectively.

Superconductor is consolidated, for required current capacity, with proper numbers of basic strands which are multifilamentary composites. Althouth superconductors are perfectly loss-free under DC conditions of current and field, AC losses occur under time-varying condition of the current and field. The AC losses are a controllable inherent characteristics of supercondectors. The AC losses dependent on the changing rate of current and field can be reduced by reducing the filament diameter. On the other hand, finer filament results in manufacturing cost increase. Therefore, in this paper optimization technique of superconductor for SMES is proposed from the viewpoint of AC loss reduction and manufacturing cost increase. The case study shows that the technique can be effectively used for the design of superconductor for SMES, appreciating the influence of various parameters related to superconductor itself and operating condition of SMES. As a result of the case study, it is confirmed that the technique is more effective for the design of superconductor for SMES for electric power power system stabilization rather then SMES for energy storage.

In order to spread LED lighting, LED lighting technology directly driven by alternating current (AC) commercial power has recently been introduced. Since current does not flow at a voltage lower than the threshold voltage of the LED, a non-conductive section occurs in the current waveform, and the higher the threshold voltage of the LED, the more discontinuous current waveforms are generated. In this paper, multi-LED modules are connected in series so that the threshold voltage can be adjusted according to the number of LED modules. A small number of LED modules are driven at a low instantaneous rectified voltage, and a large number of LED modules are driven at a high instantaneous rectified voltage to lengthen the overall lighting time of AC-LED lighting, thereby minimizing the luminance deviation of AC-LED lighting. In addition, the load current flowing through the LED module is adjusted to be the same as the design current even at the maximum rectified voltage higher than the design voltage, so that the light brightness of the LED module is kept constant. Therefore, even if the rectified voltage applied to the LED module changes, the AC-LED lighting in which the light brightness is constant and the luminance deviation is minimal has been realized.
