In recent hydraulic actuation systems, conventional hydraulic spool valves with pressure compensators are becoming less popular, after the introduction of the independent metering concept for valves. Within this concept, four valves are needed for actuating a single cylinder. Subsequently, this increases the freedom of controlling both chamber pressures of the cylinder, and it then provides for electronically-controlled pressure compensation facilities. Additionally, this has the potential to save valuable energy. The primary focus of this paper is to develop a new generation of hydraulic circuits using the independent metering valve (IMV). This configuration can function well as a conventional IMV circuit while providing better pressure control. We first describe the working principles of five distinct modes of the proposed IMV system. Then, mathematical models for each working mode are presented. Finally, we present numerical simulations that have been carried out to evaluate the system performance, in comparison with that of the conventional IMV configuration. The simulation results demonstrate that the performance of the new IMV configuration is superior to the conventional IMV system in terms of energy savings.

We have investigated temperature dependence and long-term change of humidity measurement from 32 relative humidity sensors. The readings of the humidity sensors depended not only the reference humidity, but also temperature of the chamber. Approximately, the temperature dependence of the humidity sensor in average was 0.05 %R.H./$^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range from $5^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$. For humidity sensors that have an internal temperature compensation circuit, the resulting temperature dependence was weaker by 20%. It should be also noted that for the humidity sensors used in this work underwent ${\pm}3$ %R.H. change per year for level of confidence of 95%. The users of relative humidity sensors may refer this value as a minimum change when they set the calibration interval of the humidity sensors.

An active compensation method for the deformation of composite structures using additional controllable metal parts is proposed, and its feasibility is experimentally investigated in a simulated space environment. Composite specimens are tested in a vacuum chamber, which is able to maintain pressure on the order of 10-3 torr and interior temperature in the range of ${\pm}30^{\circ}C$. The displacement-measuring interferometer system, which consists of a heterodyne HeNe laser and an interferometer, is used to measure the displacement of the whole structure. Meanwhile, the strain of the composite part and temperature of both parts are measured by fiber Bragg grating sensors and thermistors, respectively. The displacement of the composite structure is maintained within a tolerance of ${\pm}1{\mu}m$ by controlling the elongation of the metal part, which is bonded to the end of the composite part. Also, the possibility of fiber Bragg grating sensors as control input sensors is successfully demonstrated using a proper corrective factor based on the specimen temperature gradient data.

This article describes the output properties of non-dispersive infrared carbon dioxide($CO_2$) sensors resulting from the changes in ambient temperatures. After the developed sensor module was installed inside the gas chamber, the temperature was set to 267 K, 277 K, 300 K, and 314 K, and the concentrations of $CO_2$ gas were increased from 0 to 5,000 ppm. Then, the output voltage at each concentration was obtained. Through these experimental results, two observations were made. First, both the $CO_2$ sensor and the reference sensor showed an increase in the output voltages as the temperature rose from 0 ppm, Second, the full scale outputs of the $CO_2$ sensor grew as the temperature increased. The output characteristics were analyzed based on two factors: change in the radiant energy of the infrared light source and change in the absorptivity of $CO_2$ gas according to the ambient temperature. Additionally, temperature compensation methods were discussed.

현재 폭넓게 이용되고 있는 STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) 공정에서 active edge 부분에 발생하는 기생 transistor의 subthreshold hump 특성을 제어하는 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 일반적으로 STI 공정을 이용하는 MOSFET에서 active edge 부분의 얇게 형성된 gate oxide, sharp한 active edge 형성, STI gap-fill 공정 중에 생기는 channel dopant out-diffusion은 subthreshold hump 특성의 주된 요인이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 active edge rounding process와 channel dopant compensation의 implantation을 이용하여 subthresold hump 특성 개선을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 STI 공정에 필요한 wafer와 phosphorus를 함유한 wafer를 한 chamber 안에서 auto-doping하는 방법을 이용하여 subthresold hump 특성을 구현하였다. phosphorus를 함유한 wafer에서 빠져나온 phosphorus가 STI 공정중인 wafer로 침투하여, active edge 부분의 channel dopant인 boron 농도를 상대적으로 낮춰 active edge 부분의 가 감소하고 leakage current를 증가시킨다. transistor의 channel length, gate width이고, wafer#No가 클수록 phosphorous를 함유한 wafer까지의 거리는 가까워진다. wafer #01은 hump 특성이 없고, wafer#20은 에서 심한 subthreshold hump 특성을 보였다. channel length 고정, gate width를 ~으로 가변하여 width에 따른 영향을 실험하였다. active 부분에 대한 SCM image로 확인된 phosphorus에 의한 active edge 부분의 boron 농도 감소와 gate width vs curve에서 확인된 phosphorus에 의한 감소가 narrow width로 갈수록 커짐을 확인하였다.

This paper is dedicated to the development of cooling devices such as mLHP with Fan-Fin system limited by noise and vibration. As we know, Heat pipe has the limitation of cooling capability to cool down the electronics. It is bounded by capillary and thermal limitation but heat load that it has to deal with is increasing. Especially Today's electronic technology has a tendency to integrate lots of function into the small piece of a processor like Dual core having 35W heat load for mobile and desktop computer respectively. There is an optimum operating condition of temperature, below $70^{\circ}C$, during the maximum heat load, 35W. There is the motivation needed to develop the new type of cooling devices and we can discuss about the new challenge beyond heat pipe.

고상-액상 상변화물질(PCM, Phase Change Material)을 이용한 위성부품 열제어장치를 설계 및 제작하였으며 열환경시험을 수행함으로써 온도제어 성능을 분석하였다. 설계온도에 부합하는 n-Hexadecane을 PCM으로 채용하였고, 낮은 열전도도를 보완하기 위하여 내부에 전열휜이 장착된 용기를 Al6061로 제작하였다. 위성에 장착하였을 때와 동일한 작동조건을 확보하기 위하여, 부품과 방열판 사이를 열관으로 연결하였으며 열관의 단열부가 관통하도록 PCM 열제어장치를 설치하였다. 동일한 모양과 부피의 열적완충질량(TBM, Thermal Buffer Mass)도 제작하여, 주기적인 가열-냉각 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 상변화 잠열에 의한 PCM의 열제어 성능을 확인할 수 있었으며, TBM에 비하여 질량과 보온히터의 소모전력을 절감할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Recently, environmental problems have become an area of growing interests. In-situ monitoring of water quality is fundamental to most environmental applications. The accurate measurement of nitrate concentrations is fundamental to understanding biogeochemistry in aquatic ecosystems. Several studies have reported that one of the most feasible methods to measure nitrate concentration is the use of Ion Selective-electrodes (ISEs). The ISE application to water monitoring has several advantages, such as direct measurement methodology, high sensitivity, wide measurement range, low cost, and portability. However, the ISE methods may yield inconsistent results where there was a difference in temperature between the calibration and measurement solutions, which is associated with the temperature dependence of ionic activity coefficients in solution. In this study, to investigate the potential of using the combination of a temperature sensor and nitrate ISEs for minimizing the effect of temperature on real-time nitrate sensing in natural water, a prototype of on-site water monitoring system was built, mainly consisting of a sensor chamber, an array of 3 ISEs, an waterproof temperature sensor, an automatic sampling system, and an arduino MCU board. The analog signals of ISEs were obtained using the second-order Sallen-key filter for performing voltage following, differential amplification, and low pass filtering. The performance test of the developed water nitrate sensing system was conducted in a monitoring station of drinking water located in Jeongseon, Kangwon. A temperature compensation method based on two-point normalization was proposed, which incorporated the determination of temperature coefficient values using regression equations relating solution temperature and electrode signal determined in our previous studies.
