Recently, the trend of research in hard coating is concentrate on developing the process of ionization rate under low operating pressure, to get the thin film with high adhesion and dense microstructures. In this study ionization rate enhancement type PVD process using permanent magnet is developed, which enhances the ionization rate by confining the plasma suppressing the wall loss of electron. By the result to investigate the characteristic of glow discharge, the ionization rate of this process is enhanced about twice as high as that of triod BARE process (about 26%), and more dense TiN microstructures are obtained in this process. Cylindrical ion energy analyzer is made and attached in front of a quadrupole mass filter for the analysis of the energy distribution of reactive gas and activated gas ions from the plasma zone. To analyze the operation mechanism of ion energy analyzer, computer simulation is performed by calculation the electric field environment using finite element method. By these analyses of ion energy distribution of outcoming ions from the plasma zone, it is found that magnetic field enhances ion kinetic energy as well as ionization rate. The other results of this study is that the foundation of feed-back system is constructed, which automatically control the partial pressure of reactive gas. In can be possible by recording the data of mass spectrum and ion energy analysis using A-D converter.

This paper deals with a 3-phase voltage disturbance generator for a performance test of custom power devices such as dynamic voltage restorers (DVR), dynamic uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), etc. The operating principle of the proposed circuit is described in each mode of voltage sag, swell, outage, and unbalance. The main components of the proposed disturbance generator are silicone controlled rectifier (SCR) thyristors, variable autotransformers, and transformers. Therefore, the disturbance generator can be implemented with a considerably low cost compared to the conventional pulse width modified (PWM) inverter and converter type generators. Furthermore, it has good features of high reliability with simple structure, high efficiency caused by no PWM switching of the SCR thyristors, and easy control with a wide variation range. To verify the validity of the proposed scheme, simulations and experiments are carried out.

The author present a modified multi-loop algorithm Including feedforward for controlling a 55kW stepdown chopper in the power supply of Maglev The gains of the control algorithm were selected based on pole locations formulated from a prototype Bessel transfer function model. The design incorporate tradeoffs in DC-to-DC converter hard-ware para-meters and pole locations. This perturvation is derived by subtracting the desired output voltage from the actual output voltage. The proportional and integral action stabilizes the system and minimizes output voltage error. In order to verify the validity of the proposed multi-loop controller, simulation study was tried using Matlab simulink.

This paper proposes an improved feed-forward controller that calculates the gain value by estimating the changed boost inductance in practical operating condition of transformer. The boost inductance is estimated by the measurement of input current and voltage. The estimated boost inductance is optimized by the least square method. The proposed feed-forward controller can be achieved the robust control through the gain value calculating the estimated boost inductance despite of the changed condition of transformer and can minimize the interference phenomenon by reducing the harmonics of input current. The validity of proposed technique is verified through the simulation and experiment.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a circuit consisting of a simmer power supply unit and a series trigger unit that can be applicable to xenon lamp driving. An LCC resonant converter based on the continuous conduction mode (CCM) is applied to the simmer circuit and by using the current output control it is possible to maintain the ionization of the lamp which has the negative resistance load characteristic. At the same time, in order to generate a high voltage, a series trigger circuit which has a number of capacitors and diodes is designed. The generated high trigger output voltage could ionize the xenon gas. This paper explains the configuration and features of the integrated circuit system, and verifies the proposed design and stable operation of the xenon lamp. The experimental and simulation results show the not only rationality but also stability of the proposed circuit.

DC 마이크로 그리드를 위한 Three-Ports Half Bridge (THB) 제안하고 THB 컨버터의 효과적인 제어를 위한 동작 원리 및 수학적 모델링 그리고 각 포트 간의 전력을 독립적으로 제어하는 디커플링(Decoupling) 방법을 제안하고자 한다. DC 마이크로 그리드에서는 수용자의 부하 상황에 따라 계통뿐만 아니라 분산 전원 및 에너지 저장장치(ESS) 등에서도 전력을 공급받을 수 있다. 이로 인해 기존 전력제어 시스템의 경우 2-포트 컨버터 2개가 필요하고, 이는 부피뿐만 아니라 소자의 개수도 증가시키기 때문에 제작 및 설치 단가가 상승한다는 단점이 있다. 3-포트 컨버터의 경우, 하나의 변압기를 이용하고 전력스위치와 수동소자의 개수를 줄일 수 있으므로 기존의 전력변환장치 대비 전력 밀도를 높일 수 있다. 하지만 하나의 변압기를 이용하여 3개의 포트가 연결되어 있어 서로 간의 전력간섭이 일어나고. 과도기 때 의도 하지 않은 전력의 흐름이 발생할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문에서는 수학적 모델링과 분석을 통해 3-포트 컨버터의 동작원리를 알아보고, 각 포트 간 전력 제어의 상호 간섭을 제거할 수 있는 디커플링 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 모의시험과 1 kW급 시작품을 이용하여 제안한 디커플링 전력제어 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 광대역 입력전압에 대응 할 수 있는 직류 변환 장치(DC-DC Converter)의 제어기의 모델링 및 제어 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 일반적으로 직류 변환 장치의 주된 목적은 입력되는 직류 전압에 대해서 출력전압을 지속적이고 안정적으로 유지해 주는 것이다. 따라서, 안정적인 출력 전압을 얻는 방법으로서 제어되지 않은 직류 변환 장치에 입력전압을 안정적으로 공급해주는 방법도 고려해 볼 수 있으나, 이릴 경우 입력전류의 변화나 입력 전압이 지속적으로 변하는 경우에 대처 하기 어렵다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해서 출력전압을 궤환 시키고 이 신호에 의해 직류 변환 장치를 제어하는 방법을 고려한다. 또한, 단순한 제어기를 사용할 경우 그 입력전압의 범위가 소자의 한계와 안정성으로 인하여 국한적으로 한정되므로, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다수의 컨버터를 연결하고 이것을 프로세서를 사용하여 제어하는 방법을 설계한다. 모델링된 직류 변환 장치는 불연속선형 시스템(Piecewise Linear System)으로 해석되어 질 수 있으며, 아울러 각기 다른 입력 범위에서 동작하는 컨버터들에 대해서도 모델링되어야 한다. 또한 일정 간격의 입력 범위내에서 서로 다른 컨버터들을 동작시켜 줄 수 있는 방법도 고려한다. MATLab을 이용하여 파워 컨버터의 성능을 입증하고, 아울러 실제 회로의 실험을 통하여 결과를 검증한다.

Cutting process has been automated due to progress of CNC and CAD/CAM, but polishing process has been only depended on experiential knowledge of expert. Polishing work for a curved surface die demands simple and repetitive operations but requires much time for its high precision. Therefore it is operated in the handiwork by skilled worker. However the workers intend to avoid gradually polishing work because of the poor environments such as dust and noise. In order to reduce the polishing time and solve the problem of shortage of skilled workers, it has been done some research for an automation of polishing. To automate the polishing process, a 2 axes polishing robot which is attached to a 3 axes machining center has been developed by our previous research. This automatic polishing robot is able to keep the polishing tool normal on the curved surface of die. Therefore its performance of polishing is improved because of always keeping the tool normal on the surface. In this paper, the smaller sized polishing robot is developed to improve polishing performance. And the controller for 2 axes polishing robot is developed. The controller is composed of TMS320C31 with high speed which is 40-ns instruction cycle time, RAM memory with 64K words, digital input with 64 bits, digital output with 32 bits, and D/A converter with 4 channels, which is 12 bits resolution. To evaluate polishing performance of this developed robot, polishing experiment for shadow mask was carried out.
