An interleaved DC/DC converter with series-connected transformers is presented to implement the features of zero voltage switching (ZVS), load current sharing and ripple current reduction. The proposed converter includes two half-bridge converter cells connected in series to reduce the voltage stress of the switches at one-half of the input voltage. The output sides of the two converter cells with interleaved pulse-width modulation are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at the output capacitor and to achieve load current sharing. Therefore, the size of the output chokes and the capacitor can be reduced. The output capacitances of the MOSFETs and the resonant inductances are resonant at the transition instant to achieve ZVS turn-on. In addition, the switching losses on the power switches are reduced. Finally, experiments on a laboratory prototype (24V/40A) are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

일반적으로 양성자의 핵자기 공명주파수를 정밀하게 측정하는데 사용되는 자기유도법은 저자장에서 애무 균일한 자장공간이 필요하다. 이를 위해 4전류 솔레노이드와 Rabi법 핵자기 공명 마그네토미터에 의하여 솔레노이드 중심 축상 ${\pm}20\;nm$에서 6 ppm으로 자장균일도를 향상시킨 후, 1.0mT의 저자장에서 자기유도법으로 공명신호를 관측하였다. 그리고 4전류법과 단전류법에 의해 형 성된 3 ppm/cm와 40 ppm/cm의 자장기울기에서 측정한 공명흡수신호를 이론차와 비교하였다.

A Stochastic line source model is developed to simulate the seismic wave field generated during the rupture propagation process along a fault plane of which length is much larger than its width. The fault plane is assumed to consist of randomly distributed slip zones and barriers and each slip zone is modeled as a point source. By combining the newly developed source model with wave propagation analysis method in a layered 3-D visco-elastic half space, synthetic seismograms are obtained. The calculated accelerograms due to vertical dip slip and strike slip line sources are presented.

An interleaved single-stage AC/DC converter with a boost converter and an asymmetrical half-bridge topology is presented to achieve power factor correction, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and load voltage regulation. Asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to achieve ZVS turn-on for all of the switches and to increase circuit efficiency. Two ZVS half-bridge converters with interleaved PWM are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at input and output sides, to control the output voltage at a desired value and to achieve load current sharing. A center-tapped rectifier is adopted at the secondary side of the transformers to achieve full-wave rectification. The boost converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to automatically draw a sinusoidal line current from an AC source with a high power factor and a low current distortion. Finally, a 240W converter with the proposed topology has been implemented to verify the performance and feasibility of the proposed converter.

It is always necessary to high performance power supplies for the magnet system in the accelerator, especially when the number of power supplies are large. When have developed the compact power supply using switching technology instead of SCR phase control. We adopt the pulse width modulation(PWM) method with a half bridge DC/DC converter. In this way, we can make a compact system with light weight and small volume. Actual system we developed is 1.2kW, 35V/35A bipolar DC power supply current precision of +/-0.02%. It is possible to mount 10 unit in a conventional 19 rack. The built in controller has an RS422 protocol to drive 10 unit by one serial port up to 1.2km distance. If we adopt RS485 protocol, one serial port can control 32 power supplies. In this paper, we will report the design and performance of the prototype power supply.

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter to reduce the voltage stress of power MOSFETs and achieve high circuit efficiency. Two half-bridge converters are connected in series at high voltage side to limit MOSFETs at $V_{in}/2$ voltage stress. Flying capacitor is used between two series half-bridge converters to balance two input capacitor voltages in each switching cycle. Variable switching frequency scheme is used to control the output voltage. The resonant circuit is operated at the inductive load. Thus, the input current of the resonant circuit is lagging to the fundamental input voltage. Power MOSFETs can be turn on under zero voltage switching. Two resonant circuits are connected in parallel to reduce the current stress of transformer windings and rectifier diodes at low voltage side. Interleaved pulse-width modulation is adopted to decrease the output ripple current. Finally, experiments are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

The objective of this study is to develop a model for the grinding process for predicting the temperature, thermal stress and thermal deformation. The thermal load during grinding is modeled as uniformly distributed, 2D heat source moving across the surface of elastic half space, which is insulated or subjected to convective cooling. That non-dimensional temperature distribution, non-dimensional longitudinal stress distribution and non-dimensional thermal deformation distribution are calculated with non-dimensional heat source half width and non-dimensional heat transfer coefficient. Finite element models are developed to simulate moving heat source, which is modeled as uniformly or triangularly distributed, the FEM simulation is compared with numerical solution.

Restorative procedures can lead to tooth fracture due to the relatively small amount of the remaining tooth structure. It is essential to prevent fractures by having a clear concept of the designs for cavity preparations. Among the several parameters in cavity designs, profound understanding of isthmus width factor would facilitate selection of the appropriate cavity preparation for a specific clinical situation. In this study, MO amalgam cavity were prepared on maxillary first premolar and filled with amalgam. Three dimensional, model with 1365 8-node brick elements was made by serial photographic method. In this model, isthmus was varied in width at 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 2/3 of intercuspal width and material properties were given for three element groups, i.e., enamel, dentin and amalgam. A load of 500 N was applied vertically on amalgam and enamel. In case of enamel loading, 2 model (with and without amalgam) was compared to consider the possibility of play at the interface between tooth material and amalgam. These models were analyzed with three dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows: 1. The stress was concentrated on the facio-pulpal line angle and distal marginal ridge of the cavity. 2. With the increase of the isthmus width, the stress spread around the facio-pulpal line angle and the area of stress concentration moved toward the proximal box. 3. In case of narrow isthmus width, the initiation point of crack would be in the area of isthmus corner of the cavity, and with the increase of the isthmus width, it would move toward the proximal box and at the same time the possibility of crack increase at the distal marginal ridge. 4. The direction of crack progressed outward and downward from the facio-pulpal line angle, and with the increase of the isthmus width, it approximated vertical direction. At the marginal ridge, it occurred in vertical direction. 5. It would be favorable to make the isthmus width narrower than a third of the intercuspal width, and to cover the cusp if isthmus width were wider than half of the intercuspal width. 6. It is necessary to apply the possibility of play to the finite element analysis.

In this paper, a planar half-circle shape ultra-wideband(UWB) antenna fed by CPW is designed, fabricated and measured for UWB communications. Within the UWB band(3.1 GHz $\sim$ 10.6 GHz), 5.15 GHz $\sim$ 5.825 GHz frequency band is used by IEEE 802.lla WLAN applications. It may be necessary to notch out this band to avoid interference with IEEE 802.lla WLAN. Therefore, we have proposed three kinds of UWB antennas having a notch function, such as a rectangular slot, a hat-shaped slot, a circle-shaped slot. The notch frequency of the proposed antenna can be adjusted by controlling the slot length or slot width. From the measured results, the proposed antennas show a good gain flatness except the IEEE 802.lla WLAN frequency band and have a reasonable agreement with simulated results.

본 논문에서는 $Mo/SiO_2/Si(100)$ 기판 위에 MOCVD(Metal-Organic-Chemical-Vapor Deposition)법을 이용하여 C축 방향으로 성장시킨 AIN(Aluminum Nitride) 박막을 이용하여 GHz대역 무선 통신에서 사용할 수 있는 FBAR(Film-Bulk-Acoustic Resonator)을 제작하였다. 제작된 공진부의 공진주파수와 반공진주파수는 각각 3.189[GHz]와 3.224[GHz]으로 측정되었으며, Q값(Quality Factor)과 유효한 전기기계 결합계수(${k_{eff}}^2$)는 각각 24.7과 2.65[%]로 평가되었다. AIN의 증착(Deposition) 조건은 $950[^{\circ}C]$의 기판표면(Substrate) 온도, 20Torr의 압력, 25000의 N/Al의 V/III비로 증착하였다. $4{\times}10^{-5}[\Omega{cm}]$의 Mo 하부전극 고유저항과 $Mo/SiO_2/Si(100)$ 기판 위에 AIN(0002) FWHM(Full-Width at Half-Maximum) 4를 갖는 C축 방향성의 AIN 박막을 성공적으로 성장시켰다. 따라서 증착된 AIN박막의 FWHM값은 GHz대역 무선 통신용 RF(Radio Frequency) 밴드 패스 필터 설계에 유용하게 사용될 것이다.
