An IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) device has an excellent current-conducting capability. It has been widely employed as a switching device to use in power supplies, converters, solar inverters, and household appliances or the like, designed to handle high power. The aim with IGBT is to meet the requirements for use in ideal power semiconductor devices with a high breakdown voltage, an on-state voltage drop, a high switching speed, and high reliability for power-device applications. In general, the concentration of the drift region decreases when the breakdown voltage increases, but the on-resistance and other characteristics should be reduced to improve the breakdown voltage and on-state voltage drop characteristics by optimizing the design and structure changes. In this paper, using the T-CAD, we designed the NPT-IGBT (non punch-through IGBT) and FS-IGBT (field stop IGBT) and analyzed the electrical characteristics of those devices. Our analysis of the electrical characteristics showed that the FS-IGBT was superior to the NPT-IGBT in terms of the on-state voltage drop.

본 논문에서는 기존의 2차원적 metamaterial 구조의 교차 편파 효과에 의한 차폐 특성의 열화를 개선하기 위하여 LTCC(Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) 공정을 이용한 3-D 공진기 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 3-D 공진기 구조는 X축, Y축, Z축 방향을 갖는 두 개의 평판과 하나의 비아로 구성된 2차원적 병렬 공진기들로 구성되어 있다. 제안된 3-D 공진기 구조의 공진 주파수는 5.024GHz, 차단 대역폭은 19MHz를 나타내었다. 교차 편파에서 3-D 공진기 구조의 공진 주파수는 4.825GHz, 차단 대역폭은 19MHz를 나타내었다. 제안된 3-D 공진기 구조는 교차 편파 효과에 따른 차폐 특성의 열화를 개선하였다. 향후 콘크리트 구조물에 흡수재와 함께 적용하므로 ETCS(Electric Toll Collection System)의 신호 간섭 현상을 차단할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: Exposure Assessment for workplace hazards where the exposure level is below occupational exposure limits(OELs) has been performed without considering either the degrees of risk or exposure levels and has failed to lead to intervention in many cases. The objective of this study was to suggest and test an application framework for risk assessment methodology under the current exposure assessment system in Korea. Materials: First, we investigated the exposure assessment systems in Korea and other countries. To adopt some risk assessment techniques, we also analyzed risk assessment systems and compared them to exposure assessment systems. A few suggestions were made. We held a public hearing during an industrial hygiene conference and took surveys using a questionnaire. Results: The first suggestion was to implement the risk assessment and exposure assessment through a "one-stop" system. In that case, one expected question would be who has been doing the jobs so far. In most cases, industrial hygiene consulting services or laboratories have been performing exposure assessment for business owners. Business owners are required to perform risk assessment. As two different groups of people will be required to implement two things in a one-stop system, they need to share information. As an information vehicle to share information, commonly filed survey checklists were suggested. The second suggestion was to categorize exposure level into four groups instead of the current binary divisions based on OELs. In the risk assessment system, exposure level is divided into four groups utilizing the cut-points of 10%, 50%, and 100% of OELs. The same schema can be adopted in the exposure assessment system and different levels of requirements can be assigned for each group. The third suggestion was regarding the regulation system. To provide the suggestions some thrust toward being implemented in the field, changes should be made in the legal system. Two different types of new exposure assessment result reporting forms were suggested. Some investigations such as an ergonomic survey are officially accepted as risk assessment under the current legal system. A few items were suggested to be included in the exposure assessment result reporting to be accepted as risk assessment. A pilot study in two small factories was performed and pointed out the strengths and weakness of our suggestions. Conclusions: Discussions and studies on the improvement of the exposure assessment system have been held for decades and no tangible changes have yet been made. We hope this result can help realize healthy lives for workers in Korea.

최근 사회적 반향을 일으킨 강력 성폭력 범죄로 성폭력 근절에 대한 사회적 공감대가 형성됨에 따라 정부는 여성에 대한 폭력 분야에 대해서는 '아동 청소년의 성보호에 관한 법률'을 개정해 교육기관 종사자 등이 성범죄 발생 사실을 신고하지 않는 경우 과태료를 부과하도록 했고, '가정폭력 방지 및 피해자 보호 등에 관한 법률'을 개정해(2012. 2) 경찰의 '현장출입조사권'을 도입하는 등 다양한 보호대책을 광범위하게 추진 시행하고는 있지만, 사실상 이러한 대책에도 불구하고 사회적약자를 대상으로 한 성폭력 범죄들이 끊임없이 발생하고 있어 실효성 논란이 가중되고 있는 현실이다. 이러한 성폭력 범죄는 타 범죄에 비해서 범죄사실을 입증하기가 매우 어렵다는 것이 일반적이며, 신고가 된다 하더라도 불기소율이 매우 높은 범죄중에 하나이다. 특히 여성과 아동들에 국한되어 있어 2차 피해로 이어지고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에도 서술하였듯이 선진국의 범죄피해자 보호실태는 우리나라의 보호실태에 비해 훨씬 더 체계적인 보호 방안을 구축하고 있다. 이에 따라 이 논문은 경찰이 성폭력 범죄피해자들을 보호하기 위한 치안인프라(유관기관과의 치안협력체제 강화, 피해자 권리장전 도입, 범죄예방을 중심으로 한 경찰교육훈련, 현행 법 제도적 보완대책 등) 구축을 통해 인권침해와 범죄피해를 최소화 하는 것에 목적을 두고 있다.

Civil complaints and lawsuits filed in the process of providing emergency medical service include fall accident on the way of carrying the patient, transfer consent, refusal and rejection of rescue request, range and behavior restriction of emergency medical technicians, false registry of logbook, neglect of duty and emergency patient, and violation of traffic laws on the way of dispatch to the scene of accident. This study suggested the measures by cases as follows. 1. The accidents on the way of carrying a patient could be divided into fall of patient and fall by paramedic's mistake. In the former case, damages caused by the ambulance's shaking must be notified to the patient and guardian and recommended to fasten seat belt, in the latter case, the plan of patient's posture, route of transport, rescue and equipments should be comfirmed before fixing the patient. 2. Transfer consent must be made as implied when the patient is unconscious under delusion and was not able to consent physically, and paramedic must take an action by his judgment and record details of services on logbook. 3. When a patient refused to transfer, get 'confirmation of transfer refusal' and inform him of refusal. Paramedic should receive the signature. In addition, in case of refusal, transfer request should be made after hearing doctor's opinion and it should be notified to transfer request and superintendent of fire station after making 'confirmation of transfer refusal'. 4. Emergency medical technicians should perform their duties within the range of services prescribed by Article 41 of Law of Emergency Medical Service and Article 33 of Its Enforcement Regulations and shall not make announcement of death. In case of reporting the death to guardian, it is desirable to use record data like ECG results. 5. The best way to have protection from legal problems is making and keeping the exact records of accident and patient. Paramedic should not mention his subjective opinion about the accident-related matter. He must record correctly and keep the original medical records. 6. As emergency medical technicians are responsible for taking care of emergency patients, they must contact a briefing room when they meet a difficult situation suddenly due to vehicle stop or treatment of other patients and then must have support from neighboring hospital and other safety centers. 7. Since the ambulance operator is responsible for safety and careful driving of ambulance, he must be careful when he violates traffic regulations unavoidably. The operator should drive slowly below 10km/h at an intersection and pass it after getting way from general vehicles driving from all directions.
