In this paper, we have analyzed the electrical characteristics of 1200V trench gate field stop IGBT and have compared to NPT planar type IGBT and NPT planar field stop IGBT. As a result of analyzing, we obtained superior electrical characteristics of trench gate field stop IGBT than conventional IGBT. To begin with, the breakdown voltage characteristic was showed 1,460 V and on state voltage drop was showed 0.7 V. We obtained 3.5 V threshold voltage, too. To use these results, we have extracted optimal design and process parameter and designed trench gate field stop IGBT. The designed trench gate IGBT will use to inverter of renewable energy and automotive industry.

The equivalence ratio is measured by LIBS(Laser-induced Breakdown spectroscopy) in hydrocarbon flame and high temperature (${\sim}3200^{\circ}C$) oxyhydrogen flame, where a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is produced from water through electrolysis. The ratio of the hydrogen and oxygen (H/O) atomic lines intensities is used for quantitatively determining the quivalence ratio. laser energy is evaluated for determining the optimal condition for plasma diagnostics. The minimum laser energy for generating plasma in a laminar premixed hydrocarbon flame was about 70 mJ, whereas oxyhydrogen flame. consequently the irradiated spot of a lower density in high temperature oxyhydrogen flame gave rise to bigger plasma in size, thus limiting the spatial resolution of the LIBS measurement.

A vehicle fuel economy is one of the most important issues in view of environmental regulation and customer's needs. In order to improve the vehicle fuel economy, great efforts has been carried out on the components bases. However, systematic analysis of vehicle fuel consumption is necessary for the further improvement of vehicle fuel economy. In this paper, a methodology for the breakdown of vehicle fuel consumption was studied and proposed for systematic analysis of the vehicle fuel economy. The energy equation for the vehicle power train was set up for the analysis of the vehicle fuel economy and simplified to be calculated or estimated using the measured data in a vehicle. The amount of fuel that was used in vehicle components under arbitrary driving conditions was quantified.

Proton irradiation technology was used for improvement of switching characteristics of the PT-IGBT. Proton irradiation was carried out at 5.56 MeV energy with $1{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ doze from the back side of the wafer. Characterization of the device was performed by I-V, breakdown voltage, threshold voltage, and turn-off delay time measurement. For irradiated device by 5.56 MeV energy, the breakdown voltage and the threshold voltage were 730 V and 6.5~6.6 V, respectively. The turn-off time has been reduced to 170 ns, which was original $6\;{\mu}s$ for the un-irradiated device.

In order to evaluate the insulation deterioration in the stator windings of air-cooled gas turbine generators(119.2 MVA, 13.8 kV) which has been operating for more than 15 years, diagnostic test and AC dielectric breakdown test were performed on phases A, B and C. Diagnostic test included measurements of AC current, dissipation factor, partial discharge (PD) magnitude and capacitance. ${\Delta}I$ and ${\Delta}tan{\delta}$ in all three phases (A, B, and C) of generator stator windings showed that they were in good condition but PD magnitude indicated marginally serviceable condition. After the diagnostic test, an AC overvoltage test was performed by gradually increasing the voltage applied to the generator stator windings until electrical insulation failure occurred, in order to determine the breakdown voltage. Although phase A of generator stator windings failed at breakdown voltage of 29.0 kV, phases B and C endured the 29.0 kV. The breakdown voltage in all three phases was higher than that expected for good-quality windings (28.6 kV) in a 13.8 kV class generator.

In this study, we are studied the electrical conduction and dielectric breakdown properties of insulating varnish. In order to analyze the molecular structure and physical properties of insulating varnishs, FT-lR was used. As the result, it can be confirmed that the peak of alcoholic group appeared in wavenumbers 3452[cm$\^$-1], the peak of =CH appeared in 3080[cm$\^$-1] and the peak of -CH appeared in 2919[cm$\^$-1] respectively. The following results were obtained from electrical properties of insulating varnish. The amplitude of current density was decreased by thickness increasing and the current density was effected by the thermal energy from external due to temperature increasing. In study temperature dependence of dielectric strength, the specimen of 10[$\mu\textrm{m}$] thickness was measurement from room temperature to 180[$^{\circ}C$]. It is confirmed that the temperature regions below 60[$^{\circ}C$] is due to electron avalanche breakdown and the temperature regions over 60[$^{\circ}C$] is due to free volume breakdown which makes electron movements easy.

In this study, the mechanisms on ultrasonication enhanced metals extraction were investigated compared with the conventional washing technique. We hypothesized the mechanisms on enhanced extraction of ultrasonication: ultrasonication increased the temperature of soil slurry and decreased average particle size of soil due to breakdown of soil aggregate. Actually, the ultrasonication increased the temperature of soil slurry to $60^{\circ}C$ in this study, and the increase in the temperature enhanced the metal extraction to 15-20% even in the conventional simple mixing. The conventional washing technique decreased average size of soil particles because of breakdown of soil aggregate, and the ultrasonication decreased the size more than that of washing. The breakdown of soil aggregate improved the contact between metals and washing agent, which enhanced the extraction of metals in the ultrasonication. Therefore, we concluded that the main mechanisms of ultrasonication are increase in the temperature and breakdown of the soil aggregate. Finally, the ultrasonicaiton increased the extractability of metals upto 40% compared to conventional washing technique.

온실가스 배출로 인한 기후변화가 심각한 문제로 대두되면서, 국내 외에서 건물 에너지 절감을 위한 노력이 전개되고 있다. 특히, 국내 주거용 건축물 사용단계의 에너지 사용에 따른 온실가스 배출량은 전 생애주기에서 매우 큰 비중을 차지하고 있으며, 노후 공동주택의 수가 급격히 증가하고 있는 상황에서 기존 공동주택의 개선을 통한 에너지 절감의 중요성은 더욱 높아지고 있다. 그러나, 기존 공동주택의 개선에 대한 의사결정 과정에서, 에너지 절감에 대한 부분은 주요 고려사항으로 반영되지 못하고 있으며, 이를 반영하기 위해 필요한 의사결정 지원도구 역시 미비한 실정이다. 본 논문은 공동주택 개선여부의사결정 단계에서 활용할 수 있는 의사결정 지원 시스템을 개발하는 첫 단계로서, 유사 특성을 지닌 공동주택 단지간의 군집을 형성하는 분류체계를 구축하고자 했다. 이를 위해 데이터마이닝 기법 중 하나인 의사결정나무를 활용하여 공동주택 단지 특성 및 전력, 가스, 지역난방 에너지 사용량 기반의 군집을 형성했다. 향후 본 연구의 결과를 더욱 발전시켜 공동주택 개선단계에서의 의사결정 시 에너지 사용량을 고려사항으로 반영함으로써, 노후 공동주택 개선을 통한 에너지 절감 및 이산화탄소 배출량 감축 효과를 극대화할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The effects of energy-yielding substrates on coronary circulation, myocardial oxygen metabolism, and intramyocytic adenylates of perfused Wistar control rat(WC) and spontaneously hypertensive rat(SHR) hearts were examined under basal and $\beta$-adrenergic stimulation conditions. The perfusion medium (1.0mM Ca2+) contained 5mM glucose (+5U/l insulin) in combination with 5mM pyruvate, 5mM lacate, 5mM acetate, or 5mM octanoate as energy substrates. Hearts were perfused with each substrate buffer for 20min under basal conditions. Coronary functinal hyperemia was induced by infusing for 20min isoproterenol (ISO, 1uM), a $\beta$-receptor agonist. Cardiac adenylates, glycolytic intermediates, and coronary venous lactate were measured by using an enzymatic analysis technique. Under basal conditions, acetate and octanoate significantly increased coronary flow(CF) of WC in parallel with myocardial oxygen consumption. However, CF of SHR was partly attenuated by coronary vasoconstriction despite metabolic acidosis. In addition, pyruvate and lactate depressd ISO-induced coronary functional hyperemia in SHR. It should be noted that octanoate exhibited coronary dysfunction under ISO conditions. On the other hand, fat substrates depleted myocardial high energy phosphate pool and accumulated breakdown intermediates. In SHR with coronary vasoconstriction under basal conditions, and with depressed coronary functional hyperemia, high energy phosphates were greatly depleted. These results suggest that energy substrates in the myocardium and coronary smooth muscle alter remarkably coronary circulation, and that coronary circulatory function is associated with a reserve of high energy phosphates and a balance between breakdown and nono synthesis of energy phosphates. These findings could be explained by alterations in the cytosolic redox state manipulated by LDH and hence in the cytosolic phosphorylation potential, which might be involved in hypertension of SHR.

The temperature accelerated dielectric breakdown strength of on-wafer low-k dielectric polymer films with thicknesses ranging from 94 nm to 1141 nm is investigated by using the current-voltage characteristic measurements with MIS structures. The temperature dependence of dielectric strength is demonstrated to be Arrhenious for all thicknesses. However, the activation energy is found to be strongly thickness dependent. It follows an exponential relationship rather than being a single value, i.e., the activation energy increase significantly as film thickness increases for the thickness below 500 nm, but it is almost constant for the thickness above 500 nm. This relationship suggests that the change of the activation energy corresponding to different film thickness is closely related to the temperature dependence of the electron trapping/detrapping process in polymer thin films, and is determined by both the trapping rate and the detrapping rate. Thinner films need less energy to form a conduction path compared to thicker films. Hence, it leads to smaller activation energy in thinner films, and the activation energy increases with the increase in film thickness. However, a nearly constant value of the activation energy is achieved above a certain range of film thickness, indicating that the trapping rate and detrapping rate is almost equal and eventually the activation energy approaches the value of bulk material.
