The most of metalhalide lamps is what the momentary restarting cannot be realized when the arc tube is in the hot condition. The discharge starting voltage of arc tube in the hot condition is much higher than in the cold condition in proportion to the gaseous pressure. Therefore it takes about ten minutes to restart the metal Halide lamps, that is to say, it is possible to start when the pressure and the temperature are decreased. But, if the lamp is restarted in the hot condition, we must supply the high voltage pulse with 15kV between the both electrodes of lamp. The proposed ignitor has two ignitors. If we connect each ignitor at the both sides, the high voltages of two different frequencies are generated. If so, when the one of the ignitor generates the highest voltage and the other applied to elecrodes of the lamp. In this way, we can restart the lamp with the voltage 15kV, even if the lamp is in the hot condition.

The most shortcoming of metalhalide lamps is what the instant restarting cannot be realized when the arc tube is in the hot condition. The discharge starting voltage of arc tube in the hot condition is much higher than in the cold condition. Therefore it takes about five minutes to restart the metalhalide lamps, that is to say, it is possible to start when the pressure and the temperature are decreased. But, if the lamp is restarted in the hot condition, we must supply the high voltage pulse with 20kV at the both sides of lamp. The proposed electronic ballast is consist of a electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter, a power factor correction (PFC) circuit, a flyback converter, a half-bridge inverter, and a high voltage igniter circuit. By this composition we can restart the lamp with the voltage 20kV, even if the lamp is in the hot condition.

The characteristics of an aerospike pintle nozzle system with excellent altitude compensation were analyzed using cold air testing. It was confirmed that reducing the stroke of the aerospike nozzle is effective in increasing the thrust. However, the results of additional numerical analysis indicated that the discharge coefficient factor was significantly lower at the maximum stroke. The Vena contracta due to the cowl reduction angle decreased the effective nozzle throat area at the maximum stroke and hindered expansion. Complementing the cowl design may thus increase the efficiency of a solid-propellant rocket engine that uses the aerospike pintle nozzle system.

A surgical operation on a patient with infected left atrial myxoma is presented. The patient was a 50-year-old woman who was admitted to the Kyung Hee Medical Center Hospital on March 7 1987 with complaints of high fever, cough and dyspnea that occurred a few days prior to admission. She, who no definite history of the previous cardiac-related problems was obtained from, had visited a dentist to have her eight teeth pulled out a few months prior to this admission. A preoperative 2-D echocardiogram revealed a left atrial tumor, strongly suggesting myxoma and two blood cultures drawn prior to surgery yielded streptococcus viridans. Under the preoperative impression of an infected left atrial myxoma, the tumor was removed through a biatrial approach after establishing CPB and cold cardioplegic. Pathologic examination of the tumor demonstrated a typical myxoma with bacterial colonies within. Postoperative course was uneventful and she was completely well at discharge from the hospital. To our best knowledge, this report is the first surgical experience of infected left atrial myxoma in the Korean literature.

The principal obstacle to selection of a laser processing method in production is its relatively high equipment cost and the natural unwillingness of production supervision to try something new until it is thoroughly proven. The major objective of this work is focused on the combined features of gas tungsten arc and a low-power cold laser beam. In this work, the laser beam from a 7 watts carbon monoxide laser was combined with electrical discharges from a short-pulsed capacitive discharge GTA welding power supply. When the low power CO laser beam passes through a special composition shielding gas, the CO molecules in the gas absorbs the radiation, and ionizes through a process blown as non-equilibrium, vibration-vibration pumping. The resulting laser-induced plasma(LIP) was positioned between various configurations of electrodes. The high-voltage impulse applied to the electrodes forced rapid electrical breakdown between the electrodes. Electrical discharges between tungsten electrodes and aluminum sheet specimens followed the ionized path provided by LIP. The result was well-focused melted spots.

A cold cathode flourescent lamp for the backlight in the notebook computer requires high input voltage about 1300(V) when it turns on. But once a discharge starts, the input voltage can be dropped by about one-third for continued output. The equivalent impedance also varies from open to several dozens of kilo-ohms. The piezoelectric transformer converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and then converts it back to electrical energy at a high voltage. Its high output voltage, high efficiency and small size are suitable for driving the LCD backlight in the notebook computer. The piezoelectric transformer operates near the resonance frequency and the output waveform is close to sine wave with very little noise. This paper suggests an inverter for LCD backlight of notebook computer using piezoelectric transformer that includes voltage to frequency converter for gate signal which is useful for tracking of variable resonance frequency depending on load impedance.

It has been investigates that electric characteristics of plasma electron beam in N$_{2}$, H$_{2}$ and Ar gas jars under various gas pressures during electron beams are formed. The results are as follows: 1)Electron beam is formed in the region of positive resistance on the characteristic curve. This phenomenon is identical in N$_{2}$, H$_{2}$ and Ar gases. 2)But in Ar gas, electron beam is formed at relatively lower gas pressure than in H$_{2}$ and N$_{2}$. 3)In pure gas either N$_{2}$, H$_{2}$ and N$_{2}$ the lower the gas pressure, the higher the voltage drop for the same electron beam current. 4)The region in which electron beam is formed is limited at a given pressure. 5)Beyond the limit mentioned above, it becomes glow discharge state and the current increases radically. 6)At a given gas pressure, electron beam voltage, that is, electrical power input increases with gap length.

쌀국수의 유통 안전성 확보를 위한 기초자료를 확보하기 위하여 최근 각광받고 있는 저온 플라즈마 처리에 의한 쌀국수의 품질 특성 분석을 하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 플라즈마는 컨테이너형 유전격벽 플라즈마로 방전 가스는 공기를 활용하여 0, 5, 10 및 20분 처리하였고 미생물 감균효과, 색도, 경도 및 지질산패도 변화를 측정하였다. 쌀국수에 B. cereus 및 E. coli O157:H7을 접종한 후 20분간 플라즈마 처리 시 E. coli O157:H7은 2.75 log CFU/g 감소하였고, B. cereus는 검출되지 않았다. 색도 측정결과 플라즈마 처리에 의해 명도(L^⁎), 적색도(a^⁎) 및 황색도(b^⁎) 모두 증가하였으며, 경도는 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만 플라즈마 처리에 의해 지질산화가 일어나는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 공기로 방전된 저온 플라즈마 기술은 쌀국수의 품질안전성을 개선될 것이라고 판단되나 관능적 품질 특성 개선을 위한 적합 플라즈마 모델 선정, 포장방법 개선 등의 후속연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

Decay of fruit is one of the greatest issues in fruit storage. Purpose: In this study, citrus sterilization was performed to evaluate a dry sterilization method using an atmospheric-pressure nonthermal plasma treatment based on a dielectric-barrier discharge technique. Methods: Citrus samples were stored under four different environmental conditions as follows: group A had cold storage with plasma treatment with a temperature of $6.2{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity (RH) of $93.4{\pm}8.2%$, group B had ambient-temperature storage with $22.9{\pm}2.3^{\circ}C$ and $82.1{\pm}4.5%$ RH, group C ambient-temperature storage with plasma treatment with $25.3{\pm}2.2^{\circ}C$ and $90.0{\pm}2.8%$ RH, and group D had cold storage with $5.7{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ and $93.4{\pm}6.5%$ RH. Results: As a result of citrus surface sterilization by plasma treatment, treatment groups A and C together showed an average of 16.1 CFU/mL of mold colonies, while control groups B and D showed an average of $2.2{\times}10^2CFU/mL$ or approximately 13 times greater than the treatment groups. Regarding the mean concentration of aerobic bacteria colonies, the treatment groups (A and C) and control groups (B and D) showed an average of 7.1 CFU/mL and $1.9{\times}10^3CFU/mL$, respectively. This is approximately a 270-fold difference in the concentration of pathogen colonies between treatment and control groups. Conclusions: The results showed the potential of nonthermal plasma treatment for citrus storage in enhancing storage duration and quality preservation.

Chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) 조사를 위한 지하수 시료 채취 방법 중 cold-welded copper tube method(구리관법)과 flame-sealed borosilicate glass ampule method(유리앰퓰법)의 두 방법을 비교하고 검토하였다. 구리관법에 의해 채취된 시료의 CFCs 농도는 중복시료간에 재현성이 불량한 반면, 유리앰퓰법은 상대표준오차가 5％ 이내로 좋은 재현성을 보여주었다. 이것은 구리관법을 적용할 때, 관정의 출수구와 구리관의 연결의 밀봉성이 좋지 않았기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 또한 구리관법에 의한 CFCs 농도는 전체적으로 유리앰퓰에 의한 값보다 높았으며 이러한 특징은 CFC-11이 CFC-12보다 더 두드러졌다. 구리관법의 경우에 플라스틱 관이나 관정에 설치된 출수구에 포함된 고무 패킹 등이 시료를 CFCs로 오염시켰을 것으로 평가된다. 유리앰퓰법을 적용했을 때에는 이러한 가능성을 제거하기 위해 stainless steel과 nylon 재질만을 이용하고, 시료채취장비를 관정의 주배수관에 직접 연결하였다. 인위적인 공급원에 의한 CFCs가 없을 것으로 예상되는 시료에서 유리앰퓰법에 의해 매우 낮은 수준의 CFCs농도가 측정됨으로써 이 시료채취과정의 유효성이 검증되었다.
