In this paper, a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) frequency control algorithm is proposed to reduce the input current ripple of a multi-phase interleaved boost converter. Unlike conventional variable duty and constant frequency control, the proposed algorithm controls the switching frequency to regulate the output voltage. By fixing the duty ratio at 1/N in the N-phase interleaved boost converter, the input current ripple can be minimized by ripple cancellation. Furthermore, the negative effects of the diode reverse recovery current are eliminated because of the DCM characteristic. A frequency controller is designed to employ the proposed algorithm considering the magnetic permeability change. The proposed algorithm is analyzed in the frequency domain and verified by a 600 W three-phase boost converter prototype that achieved 57% ripple current reduction.

PLZT ceramics of composition La/Zr/Ti=X/65/35(X=5-10 at.%) were fabricated by two state sintering technique.Transparent PLZT ceramics were obtained in the composition above 8 at. % La. Variations of electrooptic properties in the compositions between 8 at. % and 9 at. % La were able to be expected from the significant differences of P-E hysteresis curve and the changes of dielectric phase transition. The range of birefringence of 8/65/35 specimen was 4.08${\times}$10-3. Domain switching of 9/65/35 specimen was agreed with the applied electric pulse because input pulse signal corresponds to optical pulse response.

Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) propagated through parallel power and ground planes in high-speed multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs) causes malfunction of both digital and analog circuits. To reduce SSN, decoupling capacitors are generally used in the PCBs. In this paper, we improve the equivalent circuit model of decoupling capacitor in high-frequency range to analyze the effect of SSN reduction accurately. The analysis is performed by the microwave and RF design system (MDS) method and the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We compared the results by the ideal capacitor model with those by the proposed model.

Of all the proposed resonant techniques, the well-known phase-shifted full bridge converter remains one of the most attractive because it offers an easy way of achieving ZVS with a minimum of extra components added, which is essential for the high power applications. This paper describes the design of a digital controller for a Phase Shifted Full-bridge PWM Converter. The small-signal model is derived incorporating the effects of phase-shift control and the utilization of the transformer leakage inductance and power FET junction capacitances to achieve the zero-voltage resonant switching. Based on the derived small-signal model, the digital controller is designed in the discrete domain. The performance of designed controller is verified through the simulation.

현재의 인터넷은 IPv4를 기반으로 하며, CIDR(Classless InterDomain Routing)을 이용하여 IP의 고갈을 막으려고 노력하고 있다. 그러나, 이는 근본적인 대책이 아니기 EOans에 IP는 점차 고갈되어 미래에는 IPv6로 옮겨갈 것으로 보인다. 이렇게 IPv6로 발전함에 따라 IP 주소는 매우 늘어날 수 있으나, source 주소와 destination 주소의 헤더가 커짐에 따라 헤더의 IP 주소를 모두 읽어보는 데에 많은 비용(cost)이 들게 된다. 따라서, ISP들은 MPLS(Multiprotocol Label Switching)를 사용하게 될 것이다. 또한, MPLS는 기존의 IP 주소를 이용한 라우팅은 경로를 찾기 위해 필요이상으로 많은 정보를 요구한다고 보고, 레이블 개념을 도입하여 스위칭해주는 역할을 한다. 이렇게 하면 라우팅을 위해 IPv6로 인하여 더욱 길어진 IP 주소를 요구하지 않고 단지 레이블을 붙임으로 속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 이러한 환경에서의 이동 IP는 COA를 얻게되면 레이블을 붙여서 목적지까지 전달되게 된다. 이렇게 전달되는 이동 IP에서 COA와 레이블을 합쳐서 하나로 보내는 방식으로 이동 IP의 효율을 높일 수 있다.

We have investigated the effect of temperature and bias current on the stability of the inverse spin-switch effect in Permalloy(Py)/Nb/Permalloy pseudo spin-valves. The inverse spin-switch operates between two orientations of the ferromagnetic moments of Py layers; parallel (ON) and antiparallel-domain (OFF) state. Measuring time scans of the resistance changes between the ON and OFF state, ${\Delta}R_{ON-OFF}$, while alternating magnetic fields between the two states at various temperatures and bias currents, revealed that enhancement of ${\Delta}R_{ON-OFF}$ is a key factor to achieve successful operation of superconducting spin switch.

In this paper, we propose a cell structure to improve transmittance and aperture ratio with FFS(Fringe Field Switching) mode. As an exemplary cell, we selected conventional FFS cell with dual domain. Optical transmittance and aperture ratio were calculated with 3DFEM numerical solver, TechWiz LCD. The simulation results revealed that transmission increases by more than 10% while aperture ratio increases by more than 4% when compared to conventional FFS mode.

The ion beam alignment technique is one of the potential and fascinating methods. However, there are merely a few reports about aligning nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) horizontally for in-plane switching mode (IPS) by means of low energy ion beam exposure on inorganic materials such as DLC. In this study, we have investigated the tilted vertical alignment of NLC by the ion beam technique on the thin films of various amorphous silicon compounds as new inorganic alignment materials. Appropriate pretilt angles of NLC with preferred orientation on these thin films were achieved. And the electro-optic property of vertically aligned single domain cells has been investigated.

This paper investigates the restoration schemes which are applied to the MPLS domain upon a network failure. We define the following three restoration service models by combining the various restoration schemes: "FIS-based protection service" (FIS: failure indication signal), "inversion traffic protection service" and "1+1 protection service". After a qualitative analysis of the performance in them, we have analyzed it on quantitative basis by the simulation. According to the simulation results, "1+1 protection service" guarantees the fastest and most lossless restoration service among them; however, it results in consuming considerable bandwidth and producing an amount of control traffic, which means poor network utilization. On the other hand, "FIS-based protection service" spends less bandwidth and generates less control traffic, which means better network utilization, but produces poor restoration service. "Inversion traffic protection service" provides the medium restoration service and utilization between "1+1 protection service" and "FIS-based protection service."

There are no turn-on losses in the series Resonant Converter which operates above the resonance frequency, and the commutation stress on the switched component is low. For a given Series Resonant Converter with specified load resistance, the output voltage is a function of the operation frequency. This paper describes the static and dynamic characteristic analysis of the Series Resonant DC to DC Converter, which is operating above the resonant frequency, with frequency control. For the analysis method, state plane technique is adopted, and the circuit operation is defined from normalized switching frequency, Fsn. Under this condition, circuit performance is analyzed ideally. The validity of the proposed analysis is verified by comparing with experimental results, the stability of the converter is confirmed against small variations around the operating point by conventional frequency domain analysis, and the stress quantity added to switch component is shown.
