  • This paper proposed the voltage compulsion method that used chopper for light dimming control of fluorescent lamp. During the dimming period, electronic ballasts have the bad characteristics such as low power factor, high THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) and etc. The proposed dimmer improves power factor, THD of electronic ballast and has benefit such as low cost, simple build up.

  • 카메라 촬영시 LED방송조명 등기구를 조도 디밍하는 경우에 카메라 셔터속도가 빨라 질 경우, 카메라가 신호를 감지하며 카메라 영상에 플리커 현상이 생기게 된다. 그 현상을 없어지게 하기 위하여 LED 디머의 PWM속도를 충분히 높여주어서 카메라 셔터속도가 빨라져도 어느 정도 범위에서 감지하지 못하도록 하였다.

  • The influence of sizing, fiber and pigment type on coating penetration, using commercial paper and two types of handsheets as the base paper which were prepared from thermomechanical pulp(TMP) and hardwood bleached kraft pulp(KP) sized internally with alkyl ketone dimmer(AKD), was studied in terms of characteristics of coating holdout. Laboratory rod draw down coater was used for surface sizing and coating application. Characterization of coating penetration was done by measuring the roughness of the backside of coating layer. The backside of the coating was exposed by dissolving the fibers in a solution of cupriethylenedimine(CED). Data show that internal sizing of base paper is effective and surface sizing is more effective to prevent coating penetration. Comparing between the two types of base papers, backside roughness of coating layer of TMP sheet is much larger and sizing is more effective to reduce coating penetration than those of KP sheet. With regard to pigment type, clay is more effective than calcium carbonate for better coating holdout.

  • This study examined the effects of surround luminance on the shape of the spatial luminance contrast sensitivity function (CSF). The reduction in brightness of uniform neutral patches shown on a computer controlled display screen is also assessed to explain the change of CSF shape. Consequently, a large amount of reduction in contrast sensitivity at middle spatial frequencies can be observed; however, the reduction is relatively small for low spatial frequencies. In general, the effect of surround luminance on the CSF appears similar to that of mean luminance. Reduced CSF responses result in less power of the filtered image; therefore, the stimulus should appear dimmer with a higher surround luminance.

  • Need of a dimmer function becomes more important with increasing interest on a HDTV for home theater applications. In a conventional AC PDP, a possible method to reduce luminance of a whole Panel is to reduce a total number of sustain pulses and then to change the gray level. However, the reduction of the total sustain number causes the step of luminance to be rough. Moreover, it is impossible to control the luminance of the panel for a given gray level. In this paper, a simple and robust method is proposed to control linearly the luminance of whole panel by applying the asymmetric sustain pulses in the display period of the ADS driving scheme. As the range of luminance control by the proposed method is about $50\%$ for a given gray level. Moreover, it is experimentally verified that the proposed method shows similar dynamic margin performances compare with the conventional method.

  • Drivers for LED MR16 retrofit lamps need to be compatible with the dimmers and electronic transformers which originally operated with the halogen lamps to be replaced. We present a two-stage MR16 LED driver consisting of a boost converter in the first stage and a buck converter in the second stage. Our design has been analyzed in the frequency domain using simulations to demonstrate that it effectively suppresses the high-frequency components of the AC output of the electronic transformer. Experiment results with a driver prototype verify the simulation results as well as dimmability.

  • In the middle of $19^{th}$ century, the Seong Gyeong 星鏡, which is a Korean historical astronomy book, was published by Nam Byeong-Gil(1820-1869). In this study, identification was conducted by considering the star catalogue recorded in the Yixiang Kaocheng Xubian 儀象考成續編. The Seong Gyeong 星鏡 recorded the information of 1,449 stars, and identified 1,413 stars among 1,449 stars, which is a rate of 97.5%. The positional error (angular distance) of the identified stars is $5.33{\pm}0.34$ arc-min. It was also confirmed that the magnitudes of the recorded stars have correlations with those of modern times. It was determined that the position error of the stars became larger as the magnitude of the stars became dimmer, or as the position of the stars came closer to the pole. Based on these analyses, the Seong Gyeong 星鏡 was confirmed that it is a result of correcting the precession of the selected stars from star catalogue of Yixiang Kaocheng Xubian 儀象考成續編.
