The holding voltage of the high-voltage MOSFETs in snapback condition is much smaller than the power supply voltage. Such characteristics may cause the latcup-like problems in the Smart Power ICs if these devices are directly used in the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) power clamp. In this work, a latchup-free design based on the Drain-Extended PMOS (DEPMOS) adopting gate VDD structure is proposed. The operation region of the proposed gate-VDD DEPMOS ESD power clamp is below the onset of the snapback to avoid the danger of latch-up. From the measurement on the devices fabricated using a $0.35\;{\mu}m$ BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) Process (60V), it was observed that the proposed ESD power clamp can provide 500% higher ESD robustness per silicon area as compared to the conventional clamps with gate-driven LDMOS (lateral double-diffused MOS).

Crosslinked Degree is an important factor to determine dielectric property of crosslinked polyethylene(XLPE) used for the insulation material in power cables. Recently, though it is necessary to investigate electrical properties according to crosslinked degree as a part of the whole characterization of cable. it is not examined closely. In this study, crosslinked degree of samples were measured according to temperature and holding time of crosslinking, electrical tree characteristics of these samples were analyzed by crosslinked degree and applied temperature that was changed from normal temperature to operating temperature of power cables. As a result. when the crosslinked degree was low, dielectric properties were decreased and influence of temperature was increased. but the crosslinked degrees were high. initiation voltages of treeing were increased and dielectric properties were improved. It is proved that the optimum. crosslinked degree was one of most important factor for aging time and residual lifetime of power cable.

This paper describes the simple single phase air-conditioner of power factor correction (PFC) circuit. By adopting PFC in the rectifier, we can reduce harmonic into power line, improve the efficiency and lower the total system cost compared to conventional inviter only. Also, system performance is improved by stabilizing the output voltage of PFC. To improve the current waveform of diode rectifiers, we propose a new operating principle for the voltage diode rectifiers. A circuit design method is shown by experimentation and confirmed simulation. It explained that compared conventional pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverter with half pulse-width modulated (HPWM) inverter HPWM inverter. Proposed HPWM inverter eliminated dead-time by lowering switching loss and holding over-shooting.

Physicohemical properties of dual-modified rice starches, cross-linked (with $POCl_{3}$) and hydroxypropylated (with propylene oxide) rice starches, were studied. Rice starch was cross-linked using $POCl_{3}$ (0.005%, 0.02% (v/w)) at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr and then hydroxypropylated using propylene oxide (2%, 6%, 12% (v/w)) at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr, respectively. Swelling power, solubility, thermal properties (DSC) and pasting properties (RVA) of cross-linked and hydroxypropylated (CLHP) rice starches were determined. Swelling power of CLHP rice starch increased at relatively lower temperature than native rice starch. Solubility of CLHP rice starch was lower than that of native rice starch. Peak viscosity of CLHP rice starch was lower than that of native starch while holding strength and final viscosity were increased with modification. Breakdown value was lower and setback value was higher than native rice starch. DSC thermal transitions of CLHP rice starch shifted toward lower temperature. Amylopectin-melting enthalpy of CLHP rice starch decreased, whereas it was not affected by the amount of $POCl_{3}$.

This study organized data from 2000 to 2014 for 20 grid-connected countries in Europe and analyzed the determinants of carbon emissions through the panel GLS method considering the problem of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. At the same time, the effect of introducing ETS was considered by dividing the sample period as of 2005 when the European emission trading system was introduced. Carbon emissions from individual countries were used as dependent variables, and proportion of generation by each source, power self-sufficiency ratio of neighboring countries, power production from resource-holding countries, concentration of power sources, total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector, tax of electricity, net electricity export per capita, and size of national territory per capita. According to the estimation results, the proportion of nuclear power and renewable energy generation, concentration of power sources, and size of the national territory area per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions both before and after 2005. On the other hand, the proportion of coal power generation, the power supply and demand rate of neighboring countries, the power production of resource-holding countries, and the total energy consumption per capita in the industrial sector were found to have a positive (+) effect on carbon emissions. In addition, the proportion of gas generation had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions, and tax of electricity were found to have a positive (+) effect. However, all of these were only significant before 2005. It was found that net electricity export per capita had a negative (-) effect on carbon emissions only after 2005. The results of this study suggest macroscopic strategies to reduce carbon emissions to green growth, suggesting mid- to long-term power mix optimization measures considering the electricity trade market and their role.

Typhoons are usually influencing at least 3 or 4 times per year in Korean peninsula and they accompanied with strong winds and heavy rains and then brought tremendous loss of properties and lives. Especially typhoon "MAEMI" resulted in a lot of marine accidents of vessels such as sinking, stranding, collision etc. at anchoring or on berthing in pier. If the typhoon comes up to expected area influencing the incidents, the vessel tries to escape from the route of typhoon or anchor in sheltering anchorage. However, consideration of the anchoring or judgement of ship's safety against strong winds is decided only by the experience of operators without detail evaluation of the safety. Therefore, this paper evaluated the safety of T.S. HANBADA by comparing the external forces with the holding powers. Furthermore, based on this evaluation, the anchoring manual was produced for the maximum endurable wind velocity, the general precautions and the actions taken on the ship with steps.

A study was conducted to find a rapid thawing method which prevents excessive drip loss and local overheating. Effects of thawing methods (conventional thawing vs. 2,450 and 915 MHz microwave thawing) on thawing time, temperature profile, drip loss, water holding capacity, total color difference and total aerobes were investigated. Samples were thawed at 4, 28 and $50^{\circ}C$ in a refrigerator or an oven for the conventional thawing methods the convertional thawing methods. Power levels of 5, 10 and 15 kW were used for 915MHz microwave thawing. Cotreatment of 915 MHz microwave and convectional heating $(120^{\circ}C)$ was tested. 915 MHz microwave accelerated the thawing rate, and showed significant effects on penetration depth, drip loss, water holding capacity and total aerobes. Cotreatment of 915 MHz microwave and convection heating was appeared to be a suitable thawing process for the food industry.

9-12% Cr steels have been used in thermal power plants which repeat start and stop operations. Major factors of fatigue life are temperature, frequency, stress ratio, holding time, microstructure, and environment. Normally, fatigue life decreases at high temperature, low frequency, high stress ratio, and long holding time conditions. A Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel, called G91, was developed at ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA) and was adopted as a high-temperature structural material in the ASME Code in 2004. However, its low-cycle fatigue and fatigue crack growth characteristics have been rarely studied. In this work, we have investigated the low-cycle fatigue crack growth behaviors of G91 steel under various test conditions in terms of temperature and stress ratio. As temperature and stress ratio increase, the crack growth rate becomes faster and striation distance also increases. On the other hand, the number of branch cracks decreases.
