The multi-films of a metallic film and a transparent conducting oxide (TCO, indium-tin oxide, ITO) film were formed on the stainless steel 316 and 304 plates by a sputtering method and an E-beam method and then the external metallic region of the stainless steel bipolar plates was converted into the metal nitride films through an annealing process. The multi-film formed on the stainless steel bipolar plates showed the XRD patterns of the typical indium-tin oxide, the metallic phase and the metal substrate and the external nitride film. The XRD pattern of the thin film on the bipolar plates modified showed two metal nitride phases of CrN and $Cr_2N$ compound. Surface microstructural morphology of the multi-film deposited bipolar plates was observed by AFM and FE-SEM. The electrical resistivity of the stainless steel bipolar plates modified was evaluated.

소형 정찰 UAV의 새로운 동력원으로 적용하고자 하는 연료전지 시스템의 경량화를 위한 연구로 알루미늄 분리판의 성능을 측정하였다. 흑연 분리판과의 성능 비교를 통해 알루미늄 분리판이 흑연 분리판에 비해 무게 대비 높은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 작동온도에 따른 성능 변화를 확인하기 위해 40 / 50 / $60^{\circ}C$의 작동온도에서 알루미늄 단위 전지의 성능을 측정한 결과 건조한 반응기체의 경우 일반적인 작동온도 보다 비교적 낮은 $40^{\circ}C$에서 가장 좋은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

A 900 W scale direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) stack is designed and fabricated for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. To meet the volume and weight requirements, metallic bipolar plates are applied to the DMFC stack for the first time wherein POS470FC was chosen as bipolar plate material. To ensure good robustness of the metallic bipolar plate based DMFC stack, finite element method based simulations are conducted using a commercial ANSYS Fluent software. The stress buildup and deformation characteristics on bipolar plates and end plates are analyzed in details. The present DMFC stack exhibits the performance of 1,130 W at 32 V and 35.3 A, clearly demonstrating that it could successfully operate for UAVs requiring around 1,000 W of power.

BLDC Motors are widely used in various speed control applications due to their ease of control and low cost. Generally, the unipolar PWM method is used for speed control applications. However, the unipolar PWM method has a current spike problem in the braking operation which can be a problem in speed reversal which generally happens in position control applications. However, the current spike problem can be solved by the conventional bipolar PWM method. Although the current spike problem can be solved, the conventional bipolar PWM method has the problem of a large current ripple. In this paper, a novel bipolar PWM method is proposed to solve this problem. The current ripple and the current spike problems are analyzed in this paper for the unipolar and bipolar PWM methods. At last, the merits of the proposed bipolar PWM method are proven by experiment.

양성자 교환막 연료전지 (PEMFC) 시스템은 환경 친화적인 전력 공급원으로 많은 잠재적 용도를 가지고 있다. 탄소섬유 복합재료 분리판은 산성환경에서 내부식성이 우수하며 높은 비강도와 비강성을 갖지만, 상대적으로 낮은 전기전도도로 인하여 PEMFC의 효율을 떨어뜨린다. 본 연구에서는 분리판의 전기 저항을 감소시키기 위하여 전기 전도성 입자(흑연 분말과 카본 블랙)를 탄소-에폭시 복합재료 프리프레그에 도포하였다. 전기 저항과 기계적 특성을 기존의 시험 방법을 사용하여 측정하였으며, 개발된 탄소 복합재료 분리판의 단위 셀 성능평가를 실시하여 기존의 분리판과 비교하였다.

The bipolar plates are not only the major part of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack in weight and volume, but also a significant contributor to the stack costs. Stainless steels are considered to be good candidates for bipolar plate materials of the PEMFC due to their low cost, high strength and easy machining, as well as corrosion resistance. In this paper, 316L stainless steel with and without nitrogen ion implantation were tested in simulated PEMFC environments for application as bipolar plates. The results showed that the nitride formed by nitrogen ion implantation contributed the decrease of the interfacial contact resistance without degradation of corrosion property. The combination of excellent properties indicated that nitrogen ion implanted stainless steel could be potential candidate materials as bipolar plates in PEMFC. Current efforts have focused on optimizing the condition of ion implantation.

Bipolar disorder is a mental illness characterized by extreme mood and behavioral swings, such as highs of euphoria and lows of depression. It is a socially significant disorder in which people with the disorder experience intense mood swings and, for those with severe bipolar disorder, it is even difficult leading a normal life. High stress levels in people with mental illness can lead to neuroendocrine disruption, and it is strongly linked to aging. When the neuroendocrine system becomes vulnerable to these mental illnesses and stress, it is likely to accelerate aging. And it's the epigenetic clock that can measure the extent of this accelerated aging. The Epi clock, a pan tissue clock, measures aging through DNA methylation, and the degree of methylation is modified and changed by environmental conditions in the body. Therefore we wanted to check the changes in the epigenetic age of the patients with bipolar disorder. While we found no significant differences in epigenetic age, we did confirm the possibility that people with bipolar disorder have different methylation than normal people. We also found that the EPIC array data fit better on the Epi clock than on the Horvath clock with age-accelerated data from normal people.

Background: Radial head arthroplasty allows a high degree of customizability, and implant polarity has emerged as an important variable. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate differences in functional and clinical outcomes between patients receiving monopolar and bipolar radial head prosthetic implants. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were employed, and 65 articles were identified in three databases. Twelve articles contained non-English or insufficient text and were consequently excluded, and 20 others did not contain sufficient data or follow-up. The remaining 33 articles were qualitatively and quantitatively reviewed. Results: In total, 33 populations were identified, with 809 unduplicated patients: 565 with monopolar and 244 with bipolar implants. In these respective patients, the mean follow-up was 40.2 and 56.9 months. Average Mayo Elbow Performance Score were 86.7 and 87.4 (P=0.80), respectively; average Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were 17.9 and 14.7 (P=0.47), and average final flexion/extension arcs were 119.4° and 118.7° (P=0.48). Revision rates were 4.07% and 6.56%, while complication rates were 19.65% and 20.08% in the respective monopolar and bipolar patients. These increased relative risks associated with bipolar implants were not significant. Conclusions: Radial head implant polarity does not appear to affect functional outcomes. While bipolar prosthetic design may increase the risks of revision and complications, the increases were not significant. Level of evidence: IV.

성인기의 양극성장애와 정신분열병 환자에서 아동기에 주의력결핍-과다활동 증상을 조사하여 서로의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 저자들은 40세 미만의 남자 중 원주기독병원에서 추적진료중인 26명의 양극성장애군, 29명의 정신분열병군, 그리고 27명의 정상대조군에서 Wender Utah Rating Scale(WURS), WURS 25개 항목(WURS-25), Parent Rating Scale(PRS)을 이용하여 아동기의 주의력결핍-과다활동 증상을 비교하였다. 양극성장애군은 정상대조군과 비교하여 WURS의 평균득점이 의미있게 높았다. WURS-25와 PRS의 평균득점도 양극성장애군이 다른 두 군에 비해 의미있게 높았다. 그러나 정신분열병군에서 WURS, WURS-25, PRS 각각의 평균 득점은 정상대조군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. WURS와 PRS는 양극성장애군과 정상대조군에서 상관관계를 보였지만 정신분열병군에서는 상관관계가 없었다. 양극성장애군에서 정신분열병군과 정상대조군에 비해 아동기의 주의력결핍-과다활동 증상이 더 많았으며, 이 결과는 양극성장애와 주의력결핍-과다활동장애의 연관성을 시사한다.
