  • This paper proposes a power factor correction circuit with a high efficiency over a wide load range characteristics for a communication power supply. And the characteristic verification is applied to produce a design of prototype. Power factor correction circuit can reduce conduction losses by applying Bridgeless Boost Converter for efficiency. Over a wide load range to maintain the efficient, the control method of a PWM controller is divided by two sections according to the load area. In the low-load region, it was reduced switching losses by applying the critical conduction mode control method. On the other hand, in the heavy-load area, the hysteresis current control method is used to maintain the high efficiency over a wide load range by limiting the peak noise of the inductor.

  • We present the design, expected performance, and current status of the wide field near-infrared camera (OAOWFC) now being developed at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, NAOJ, NINS. OAOWFC is a near-infrared survey telescope whose effective aperture is 91cm. It works at Y, J, H, and $K_s$ bands and is dedicated to the survey of long period variable stars in the Galactic plane. The field of view is $0.95 {\times} 0.95 deg^2$ which is covered by one HAWAII-2 RG detector of 2048 ${\times}$ 2048 pixels with the pixel size of $18.5 {\mu}m\;{\times}\;18.5{\mu}m$, that results in the sampling pitch of 1.6 arcsec/pixel. OAOWFC can sweep the area of $840 deg^2$ every 3 weeks, attaining a limiting magnitude of 13 in $K_s$ band. It allows us to observe long period variables embedded in the Galactic plane where interstellar extinction is severe in optical.

  • Although indium (In) is not an abundant element, the use of indium is expected to grow, especially as applied to copper-indium-(gallium)-selenide (CI(G)S) solar cells. In future when CIGS solar cells will be used extensively, the available amount of indium could be a limiting factor, unless a synthetic technique of efficiently utilizing the element is developed. Current vacuum techniques inherently produce a significant loss of In during the synthetic process, while electrodeposition exploits nearly 100% of the In, with little loss of the material. Thus, an electrochemical process will be the method of choice to produce alloys of In once the proper conditions are designed. In this review, we examine the electrochemical processes of electrodeposition in the synthesis of indium alloys. We focus on the conditions under which alloys are electrodeposited and on the factors that can affect the composition or properties of alloys. The knowledge is to facilitate the development of electrochemical means of efficiently using this relatively rare element to synthesize valuable materials, for applications such as solar cells and light-emitting devices.

  • Experiments have been performed to investigate effects of pulsating cathode flow on a 10-cell proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack. For all the experiments, the flow rate, temperature and relative humidity of hydrogen at the anode inlet are fixed. The effects of the pulsating frequency, amplitude and flow rate at the cathode inlet on performance of 10-cell PEMFC are examined. The polarization and power curves show that the power output and limiting current is substantially increased when the pulsating component is added to cathode flow channel. The maximum power output increases by up to 38% and enhancement of the overall performance is more pronounced at lower flow rate region.

  • This paper shows enhanced working performance of the battery fork-lift truck by developing the IGBT full bridge dc-dc convertor using one-chip micro-processor. The PWM pulse is generated from a 16 bit one-chip micro-processor for the speed control of DC motor. In order to ensure the operation of IGBT and motor pecewisely, IGBT gate drive circuit was designed by using current limiting IC and hige voltage limit IC. And also It is able to regenerative braking.

  • Due to poor energy resources, the importance of energy saving has been greatly emphasized. It can be one method of energy saving to reduce the power. The AC adjustable speed drive systems show excellent efficiency, which have been developed in recent years. The adjustable speed drive system improves the efficiency in lightly load condition and extend the life span of motor by limiting the over-current at starting. The main topic of study is the results of energy saving and emergency transfer.

  • 매트릭스형 초전도 한류기는 구조의 특성상 여러개의 초전도 소자가 삽입되게 되었다. 이러한 여러개의 초전도 소자들 중 어느 한 개가 열화되거나 고장이 발생했을때 한류 동작이 정상적으로 이루어지지 않는다면 안정성면에서 신뢰성을 얻기는 힘들 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 직 병렬로 연결된 초전도 소자의 고장 소자의 위치에 따른 한류기의 동작특성을 비교 분석하였다. 삼상 매트릭스형 초전도 한류기의 trigger part와 current-limiting part의 초전도 소자 단선시 사고전류 제한 특성과 정상동작하는 초전도 소자의 전압특성을 비교 분석하였다.

  • This paper is to analyze the current status and interdependence of knowledge regarding innovation related research in Korea, based on the four academic journals such as Journal of Korea Technology Innovation Society, Journal of Technology Innovation, The Korean Venture Management Review, and Research Policy. The major contributions of this research are as follows: First, we tried to see the general picture of the innovation research community by extending the boundary of analysis, not limiting to a specific journal. Second, instead of subjective and qualitative analysis relying on an expert review, we quantitatively analyzed various basic statistics on innovation area and confirmed that there exist differences for using key words across the journals. Third, we derived a set of influential papers in terms of the authoritative and hub indexes employing link analysis techniques. Finally we provided some recommendations for facilitating knowledge creation activities of academic journals in this area.
