For $VO_{2}$ sensors applicable to temperature measurement by using the nature of semiconductor to metal transition, the crystallinity, microstructure, and temperature vs. resistance characteristics were investigated systematically as a function of the annealing condition. The starting materials, vanadium pentoxide ($V_{2}O_{5}$) powders, were mixed with vehicle to form paste. This paste was screen-printed on $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrates and then $VO_{2}$ thick films were heat-treated at $450^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$, respectively, for 1 hr in $N_{2}$ gas atmosphere for the reduction. As results of the temperature vs. resistance property measurements, the electrical resistance of the $V_{2}O_{5}$ sensor in phase transition range was decreased by $10^{3.9}$ order. The presented critical temperature sensor could be used in fire-protection and control systems.

The purpose of this study was to assess power loss in the computer and office automation equipment and identified a way to save power consumptions through field measurement. In this study, the meaning of standby power was to consume power while waiting for the use of any electronic equipment. This standby consumption was about 11% of total power consumption even though we did not seriously realize it. Therefore, it was very important to measure accurate power consumption at the standby status of electronic equipment. In addition, it also helped to reduce potential risks of electricity associated disasters. This study proposed the way to reduce power losses through automatic turn off switches for power outlets and switches. Finally, this study can evaluate power consumption patterns that can reduce power consumptions and potential risks of power related disasters. This also can achieve the goals of sustainability that can reduce environmental impacts by lowering energy consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions.

The quaternary alloy (Co/Ni/P/Mn) coatings were prepared using electroless plating on the polypropylene. Compositions of the quaternary alloys (Co/Ni/P/Mn) were controlled by the amount of agents. The composition by EDS, morphology with SEM, film thickness, and surface electrical resistance of the samples were measured. Higher phosphorous content samples give larger electric resistance, thus a relationship is admitted between P content and electric resistance. The corrosivity of the coatings were evaluated by electrochemical methods in the 3.5 wt% NaCl and 5.0 wt% $H_2SO_4$ solutions, respectively. It was concluded that phosphorous addition enhances resistivity in the corrosion.

Decommissioning process of nuclear facilities consist of a sequence of problem solving activities, because there may exist not only working environments contaminated by radiological exposure but also industrial hazards such as fire, explosions, toxic materials, and electrical and physical hazards. Therefore, not a few countries in the world have been trying to develop appropriate counter techniques in order to guarantee safety and efficiency of the process. In spite of that, there still exists neither domestic nor international standard. Unfortunately, however, there are few workers who experienced decommissioning operations a lot in the past. As a solution, it is quite necessary to utilize experts' opinions for risk assessment in decommissioning process. As for an individual hazard factor, risk assessment techniques are getting known to industrial workers with advance of safety technology, but the way how to integrate those results is not yet. This paper aimed to find out an appropriate technique to integrate individual risk assessment results from the viewpoint of experts. Thus, on one hand the whole risk assessment activity for decommissioning operations was modeled as a sequence of individual risk assessment steps which can be classified into two activities, decontamination and dismantling, and on the other, a risk assessment structure was introduced. The whole model was inferred with Fuzzy theory and techniques, and a numerical example was appended for comprehension.

This paper describes electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant. Electric shock accidents mostly involve damage of human life, in comparison with electrical fire, rate of human death tend to be higher in electric shock accidents. Specially, in a high voltage facilities rate of human death comprised about 43.7% by electric shock accidents. If electric shock accidents happen in a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant, then the power plant discontinue power production. Electric shock accidents in a power plant have a great ripple effect such as an electric power shortage. In this paper, we analyzed electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant. From the analysis results, we confirmed a cause of electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker, it happened by defect of interlock equipment or occurrence of breakdown between first feeder contactor and shielding plate. In order to reduce electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker, the power plant should consider improvement of interlock equipment and insulation of feeder contactor in circuit breaker.

This paper presents the study result on a realization of wireless umbilical device for missile systems. In general, a missile system is connected to a fire control equipment via an umbilical connector to get the electrical power for its internal equipment and communicate with each other. And these connectors inherently have many problems of mis-contact between pin and socket, and mis-separation during missile firing, etc. A wireless umbilical device using LC resonance is devised to solve these problems of the current technology. For hundreds of watts power transmission under the missile system environment of restricted space, we designed and made a prototype of wireless umbilical device. And we tested this wireless umbilical device with an aluminum cylinder having cutout windows which simulate missiles. We realized that the wireless technology can be used as a substitute for the conventional umbilical connectors, and EMI and environment tests should be followed further.

Instead of installing new communication wiring to each house in the apartment house building. the power distribution network. which is already installed in the building. can be use as communication medium. In a safty management, by adoption of power line communication system, at remote we can monitor safty related sensors such as fire, gas leakage, burglar intrusion and emergency call which are located at each house. From this viewpoint, we developed security monitoring system for apartment house building using power lines. Security monitoring system consists of Power Line Communication-Sub Controller (PLC-SC). Power Line Communication-Main Controller (PLC-MC) and Management System (MS). Between a PLC-MC and a PLC-SC, the transmission rate is 1200 bps in power lines and modulation technique is frequency shirt keying (FSK). In between a PLC-MC and a MS, the transmission rate is 1200 bps in communication line (RS-485). As a result of this research. transmission loss is 0.1dB per meter of intrabuilding distribution network. Transmission can be reach in 250 meters. So it is enough to communicate for security monitoring system in apartment house building.

폴리머 애자는 절연 특성이 우수하고 무게가 가벼워 설치하기 쉽고 운반 및 설치가 용이하여 송배전 가공 선로에서의 사용이 점점 증가하고 있다. 특히, 우수한 발수 특성으로 섬락 사고를 방지하며 누설전류가 적어 전력 손실 감소에 크게 기여한다. 자기 애자에 비교한 여러 장점으로 세계적으로 사용이 급격히 확대되어 왔으며, 국내에서도 배전급 선로에서는 대부분 폴리머 애자를 사용하고 있으며, 송전 선로에서도 확대 사용 중에 있다. 폴리머 애자는 무기물인 자기 애자에 비교하여 비교적 저온에서 분해 될 가능성이 많기 때문에 산불에 의하여 발생할 피해와 신뢰성을 파악하고 검토하여야 한다. 우리나라 송전선로는 국토의 65%에 이르는 산지에 대부분 포설되어 있으므로 폴리머 애자가 산불에 대하여 취약하거나 신뢰성이 크게 저하된다면 송전선로의 안정적 운용에 심각한 장애 요소가 될 것이며 산업 전반에 걸친 부정적 파급 효과는 엄청날 것이다. 하지만 지금까지 국내는 물론 세계적으로도 산불의 발생이 송전급 폴리머 애자의 신뢰성에 미치는 영향을 구체적으로 연구한 문헌은 거의 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폴리머 애자에 154 kV 전압을 실제로 인가한 상태에서 산불을 모의한 실험으로, 산불의 발생이 폴리머 애자의 신뢰성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 이미 수십년의 사용 실적이 있는 자기 애자와 비교 실험, 평가함으로서 그 결과의 신뢰성을 높이고자 하였다.
