This paper proposes a new method for the inverse problem of the three-dimensional reconstruction of the electrical activity of the brain from electroencephalography (EEG). Compared to conventional direct methods using additional parameters, the proposed approach solves the EEG inverse problem iteratively without any parameter. We describe the Lagrangian corresponding to the minimization problem and suggest the numerical inverse algorithm. The restriction of influence space and the lead field matrix reduce the computational cost in this approach. The reconstructed divergence of primary current converges to a reasonable distribution for three dimensional sphere head model.

각확산도가 작은 $He^+$ 이온빔 인출전류를 최대로 얻기 위하여 Duoplasmatron 이온원의 동작특성을 조사하였다. 이온원의 기체압력, 아크전류. 전자석 전류, 인출전압등을 변화시키면서 인출되는 $He^+$ 이온빔 전류의 변화를 관찰하였다. 열음극으로는 Ni망위에 BaO와 SrO의 혼합물을 코팅한 산화물 필라멘트를 사용하였으며, 그것의 평균수명은 약 100시간이었다. 인출전류는 아크전류에 선형적으로 비례했다 이온원 전자석전류를 증가시킴에 따라 인출전류는 증가하였지만 빔의 각확산도가 커졌다. 최대의 인출전류는 0.084 Torr의 이온원 압력에서 얻어졌다. 인출전류는 이론에서와 마찬가지로 인출전압의 3/2승에 비례하였다. 5.72 kV의 인출전압에서는 최적인출조건하에서 50 $\mu$A의 인출전류가 얻어졌다.

We report experimental results on 940-nm 350-mW AlGaAs/InGaAs transverse single-mode laser diodes (LDs) adopting graded-index separate confinement heterostructures (GRIN-SCH) and p,n-clad asymmetric structures, with improved temperature and small-divergence beam characteristics under high-output-power operation, for a three-dimensional (3D) motion-recognition sensor. The GRIN-SCH design provides good carrier confinement and prevents current leakage by adding a grading layer between cladding and waveguide layers. The asymmetric design, which differs in refractive-index distribution of p-n cladding layers, reduces the divergence angle at high-power operation and widens the transverse mode distribution to decrease the power density around emission facets. At an optical power of 350 mW under continuous-wave (CW) operation, Gaussian narrow far-field patterns (FFP) are measured with the full width at half maximum vertical divergence angle to be 18 degrees. A threshold current (I_th) of 65 mA, slope efficiency (SE) of 0.98 mW/mA, and operating current (I_op) of 400 mA are obtained at room temperature. Also, we could achieve catastrophic optical damage (COD) of 850 mW and long-term reliability of 60℃ with a TO-56 package.

A new ion source has been designed, fabricated, and installed at the NBTS (Neutral Beam Test Stand) at the KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) site. The goalis to provide a 100 keV, 2MW deuterium neutral beam injection as an auxiliary heating of KSTAR (Korea Super Tokamak Advanced Research). To cope with power demand, an ion current of 50 A is required considering the beam power loss and neutralization efficiency. The new ion source consists of a magnetic cusp bucket plasma generator and a set of tetrode accelerators with circular copper apertures. The plasma generator for the new ion source has the same design concept as the modified JAEA multi-cusp plasma generator for the KSTAR prototype ion source. The dimensions of the plasma generator are a cross section of $59{\times}25cm^2$ with a 32.5 cm depth. The anode has azimuthal arrays of Nd-Fe permanent magnets (3.4 kG at surface) in the bucket and an electron dump, which makes 9 cusp lines including the electron dump. The discharge properties were investigated preliminarily to enhance the efficiency of the beam extraction. The discharge of the new ion source was mainly controlled by a constant power mode of operation. The discharge of the plasma generator was initiated by the support of primary electrons emitted from the cathode, consisting of 12 tungsten filaments with a hair-pin type (diameter = 2.0 mm). The arc discharge of the new ion source was achieved easily up to an arc power of 80 kW (80 V/1000 A) with hydrogen gas. The 80 kW capacity seems sufficient for the arc power supply to attain the goal of arc efficiency (beam extracted current/discharge input power = 0.8 A/kW). The accelerator of the new ion source consists of four grids: plasma grid (G1), gradient grid (G2), suppressor grid (G3), and ground grid (G4). Each grid has 280 EA circular apertures. The performance tests of the new ion source accelerator were also finished including accelerator conditioning. A hydrogen ion beam was successfully extracted up to 100 keV /60 A. The optimum perveance is defined where the beam divergence is at a minimum was also investigated experimentally. The optimum hydrogen beam perveance is over $2.3{\mu}P$ at 60 keV, and the beam divergence angle is below $1.0^{\circ}$. Thus, the new ion source is expected to be capable of extracting more than a 5 MW deuterium ion beam power at 100 keV. This ion source can deliver ~2 MW of neutral beam power to KSTAR tokamak plasma for the 2012 campaign.

The Kaufman type ion beam source with focusing lens was prepared to measure $\gamma$-coefficient of MgO thin film. Initial discharge of the system was started with the discharge voltage of 25V, the cathode filament current of 5.5A at the constant magnetic field of 150G. The system shows the maximum ion current density of $120{\mu}A/cm^2$, energy dispersion of 200eV and beam divergence of $30^{\circ}$ under the condition of Ar gas pressure $2.5{\times}10^{-4}Torr$, the beam voltage of 500V, the discharge voltage of 90V, the accelerator voltage of -200V and the cathode filament current of 6.1A. When the focusing lens was installed onto the ion beam source, the spreadness diameter of ion beam was about 10mm.

Individual DC voltage balance problem is an inherent issue for cascaded H-bridge (CHB) based converter. When the CHB-based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is operating at zero current mode, the software-based individual DC voltage balancing control techniques may not work because of the infinitesimal output current. However, the different power losses of each cell would lead to the individual DC voltages unbalance. The uneven power losses on the local supplied cell-controllers (including the control circuit and drive circuit) would especially cause the divergence of individual DC voltages, due to their characteristic as constant power loads. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive voltage balancing module which is designed in the cell-controller board with small size and low cost circuits. It is controlled to make the power loss of the cell a constant resistance load, thus the DC voltages are balanced in zero current mode. Field test in a 10kV STATCOM confirms the performance of the proposed method.

Recently, focused ion beam (FIB) applications have been investigated for the modification of VLSI circuit, the MEMS processing, and the localized ion doping, A multi aperture FIB system has been introduced as the demands of FIB applications for high speed and large area processing increase. A liquid metal ion source has problems, a large angular divergence and a metal contamination into a substrate. In this study, a gas ion source was introduced to replace a liquid metal ion source. The gas ion source generated inductively coupled plasma (ICP) in a quartz tube (diameter: 45 mm). Ar gas fed into the quartz was ionized by a 2 turned radio frequency antenna. The Ar ions were extracted by 2 extraction grids. The maximum extraction voltage was 10 kV. A numerical simulation was used to optimize the design of extraction grids and to predict an ion trajectory. As a result, the maximum ion current density was 38 $mA/cm^2$ and the spread of ion energy was 1.6 % for the extraction voltage.

Ion implantation has been widely developed during the past decades to become a standard industrial tool. To comply with the growing needs in ion implantation, innovative technology for the control of ion beam parameters is required. Beam current, beam profile, ion fractions are of great interest when uniformity of the implant is an issue. Especially, it is important to measure the spatial distribution of beam power and also the energy distribution of accelerated ions. This energy distribution is influenced by the proportion of mass for ion in the plasma generator(ion source) and by charge exchange and dissociation within the accelerator structure and also by possible collective effects in the neutralizer which may affect the energy and divergence of ions. Hydrogen atom has been the object of a good study to investigate the energy distribution. Hydrogen ion sources typically produce multi-momentum beams consisting of atomic ion ($H^+$) and molecular ion ($H_2^+$ and $H_3^+$). In the beam injector, the molecular ions pass through a charge-exchanges gas cell and break up into atomic with one-half (from $H_2^+$) or one-third (from $H_3^+$) according to their accelerated energy. Burrell et al. have observed the Doppler shifted lines from incident $H^+$, $H_2^+$, and $H_3^+$ using a Doppler shift spectroscopy. Several authors have measured the proportion of mass for hydrogen ion and deuterium using an ion source equipped with a magnetic dipole filter. We developed an ion implanter with 50-KeV and 20-mA ion source and 100-keV accelerator tube, aiming at commercial uses. In order to measure the proportion of mass for ions, we designed a filter system which can be used to measure the ion fraction in any type of ion source. The hydrogen and helium ion species compositions are used a filter system with the two magnets configurations.

제주 남부 해협은 대마난류의 분기점으로써 한반도 해역 열염순환의 시작점이 되고 태풍, 쓰나미와 같은 해양 재해의 크기와 빈도에 영향을 미치며 유해생물이나 방사능 오염수가 들어오는 공급원이 되는 등 해양지리학적으로 매우 중요한 영향을 미친다. 따라서 이러한 해상재해 및 재난에 대하여 즉각적인 대응을 위해서는 준 실시간의 해양 관측이 필요하다. 그러나 다른 해협에 비하여 제주 남부의 경우 이러한 해상관측이 부족하며 이로 인해 연구결과 또한 저조한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제주 북부에서의 고주파 레이더 설치 경험을 활용하여 제주 남부에서 레이더 관측에 적합한 지역을 산정하고 고주파 레이더를 설치하여 관측을 진행하였다. 이를 통해 제주 남부해협의 광역 표층해류장을 산출하고 APM(Antenna Pattern Measurement)과 FOL(First Order Line)을 통한 후처리 및 자료 개선을 진행하였으며 이에 대해 실측자료를 활용한 비교분석을 진행하였다. 그 결과 상관계수에서 0.4~0.7, RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) 약 1~19 cm/s의 개선 결과를 보였다. 이러한 고주파레이더 관측결과는 자료 개방 네트워크 구축을 통해 차후에 태풍 대응, 수치모델 검증, 광역 파랑자료의 활용, 해양 수색 구조와 같은 국내 현안 문제를 해결하는데 도움을 줄 것이다.
