The transfer of chloride ion across an anion exchange membrane (AEM) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectra. In CV experiment, when the size of the hole in membrane was much smaller than the distance between membrane holes, the Cl anion transfer showed steady state voltammetric behavior. Each hole in membrane can be regarded as a microelectrode and the membrane was equivalent to a microelectrode array in this condition. When the hole in membrane was large or the distance between membrane holes was small, the CV curve of the Cl anion transfer across membrane showed peak shape, which attributed to linear diffusion. In ac impedance measurement, the impedance spectrum of the membrane system was composed of two semicircles at low de bias, corresponding to the bulk characteristics of the membrane and the kinetic process of ion transfer, respectively. The bulk membrane resistance increases with increasing dc bias and only one semicircle was observed at higher dc bias. The parameters related to kinetic and membrane properties were discussed.

This paper presents the results of a feasibility study on an impedance-based damage detection technique using thickness modes of piezoelectric (PZT) patches for steel structures. It is newly proposed to analyze the changes of the impedances of the thickness modes (frequency range > 1 MHz) at the PZT based on its resonant frequency shifts rather than those of the lateral modes (frequency range > 20 kHz) at the PZT based on its root mean square (RMS) deviations, since the former gives more significant variations in the resonant frequency shifts of the signals for identifying localities of small damages under the same measurement condition. In this paper, firstly, a numerical analysis was performed to understand the basics of the NDE technique using the impedance using an idealized 1-D electro-mechanical model consisting of a steel plate and a PZT patch. Then, experimental studies were carried out on two kinds of structural members of steel. Comparisons have been made between the results of crack detections using the thickness and lateral modes of the PZT patches.

In this paper, the effects of the position and the angle of the auxiliary probes on the measurements of the low frequency ground impedance with the fall-of-potential method are described iud the testing techniques to minimize the measuring errors are proposed. The fall-of-pot ential method is theoretically based on the potential and current measuring principle and the measuring error is primarily caused by the position and angle of auxiliary probes. In order to analyze the characteristics of ground impedance due to the location of the potential probe, ground impedances were measured in case that the distance of current probe was fixed at 50[m] and the distance of potential probe was located from 10[m] to 50[m]. Also, the potential robe was located at 30[$^{\circ}$], 40[$^{\circ}$], 60[$^{\circ}$], 90[$^{\circ}$], and 180[$^{\circ}$]. The results could be help to determine the location of potential probe when the ground impedance was measured at grounding system.

The impedance characteristics of planar ICP have been measured and compared with the theoretical results obtained by the field equation. The resistance of the total impedance had a maximum point and the inductance decreased monotonically as the electron density increased from $2.5{\times}10^{10}cm^{-3}$ to $7{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$ and the Pressure from 1mT to 50mT. The impedance characteristics were also dependent on the profile of the electron density. The effective collision frequency, ${\nu}_{eff}$ was $9.0{\times}10^6Hz$ at 5mT and $.5{\times}10^7Hz$ at 100mT. The effective collision frequency at 5mT was not so different from that at 100mT and it is doe to the reduction of the discharge channel cross-section at high pressure. The estimated effective collision frequency from the simulation data was of the same order as the measured one.

In this work, impedance Spectroscopic analysis was applied to study the effect of plasma treatment on the surface of indum-tin oxide (ITO) anodes using $O_2$ gas and to model the equivalent circuit for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) with the $O_2$ plasma treatment of ITO surface at the anodes. This device with ITO/TPD/Alq3/LiF/Al structure can be modeled as a simple combination of a resistor and a capacitor. The $O_2$ plasma treatment on the surface of ITO shifts the vacuum level of the ITO as a result of which the barrier height for hole injection at the ITO/organic interface is reduced. The impedance spectroscopy measurement of the devices with the $O_2$ plasma treatment on the surface of ITO anodes shows change of values in parallel resistance ($R_p$) and parallel capacitance ($C_p$).

A new discovery of the super-giant magneto-impedance (SGMI) effect was found out in a LC-resonator consisted of a glass-coated amorphous $CO_{83.2}B_{3.3}Si_{5.9}Mn_{7.6}$ microwire. The measurement was carried out at high frequency range from 100 MHz up to 1 GHz of an ac-current flowing along the wire and at varying axial dcmagnetic field in its range of $\pm$120 Oe. The wires, about 16${\mu}m$ in diameter, were fabricated by a glass-coated melt spinning technique. The shape of the impedance curves plotted vs. a dc-field is changing dramatically with the frequency. The phase angle was also strongly dependent on this field. The external dc-magnetic field changes the circumferential permeability as well as the penetration depth, both in turn change the impedance of the sample. The drastic increments of SGMI at high frequency can be understood in terms of the LC-resonance phenomena. The sudden change of the phase angle, as large as $180^{\circ}$ evidenced the occurrence of the resonance at a given intensity of the external dc-field. The maximum ratio of SGMI reached in the experiment by precise tuning frequency equals 450,000％ at the frequency of around 551.9075 MHz.

2상유동(기체-액체) 현상은 전자기발전, 원자력발전, 철강산업 등 유체 시스템에 자주 나타나는 현상으로, 2상유동을 파악하는 것은 유체 시스템의 안정성 및 성능을 위해 중요하다. 2상유동 특성 중 기공률은 압력강하와 열전달 성능을 결정하는 주요 인자로서 이를 측정하는 기술이 특히 중요하다. 유동의 임피던스를 측정하여 기공률을 산정하는 임피던스법은 전기적 특성을 이용하기 때문에 반응속도가 빨라 실시간 측정이 가능하며, 유동관 벽에 전극을 설치할 경우 유동 교란없이 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. Coney는 원형관에 적용할 수 있는 ring 임피던스미터를 이론적 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 Coney가 이론적으로 제안하고 실험적으로 검증하지 못한 3-ring 임피던스미터의 유체 전기전도도에 대한 독립성을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

Maximal cardiac output and oxygen uptake $(VO_{2max})$ were measured during treadmill exercise for seven top-class marathoners and nine non-athletes using impedance cardiograph developed by one of the authors (DW Kim). Results of this study are summarized as belows. 1) New shoes with sponge and silicon rubber attached to the soles were developed to reduce motion artifact during treadmill exercise. Ensemble everaging techneque with the developed shoes was also used to improve the measurement of stroke volume using impedance cardiography. 2) Maximal cardiac output of the athletes, 14.98 L/min, was significantly higher than that of the non-athletes, 13.46 L/min. As maximal heart rate of the marathoners is lower than that of non-athletes, stroke volume of the former is significantly larger than that of the latter. 3) $VO_{2max}$ of the marathoners, 59.38 ml/kg/min, was higher than that of the non-athletes, 40.22 ml/kg/min. At the anaerobic threshold. $VO_{2max}$ of the former was 62.3% of $VO_{2max}$ and this was significantly higher than that of the non-athletes, 57.2%, This results indicates that the marathoners have higher aerobic capacity than the non-athletes. 4) The marathoners showed larger $VO_2$ than the non-athletes at the same cardiac output, indicating that a-v $O_2$ of the former is higher than that of the latter. 5) Maximal systolic pressure of the marathoners was higher than that of the non-athletes, and so was maximal rate-pressure products. These results indicate that heart oxygen consumption rate $(hVO_2)$ of the marathoner is higher than that of the non-athletes is mainly due to higher stroke volume. And higher oxygen consumption of the marathoners is due to higher stroke volume. And higher oxygen consumption of the marathoners is due to their larger a-v $O_2$. The marathoners show both higher threshold and $VO_{2max}$. Especially, measurement of cardiac output during treadmill exercise by improved impedance cardiography is expected to contribute in study of cardiac function of athletes.

본 논문에서는 방향성 결합기를 이용한 새로운 형태의 임피던스 튜너를 제안하였다. 이 튜너를 signal flow graph를 이용하여 해석하였고, 이 방식은 직렬 라인의 길이 변화가 어려운 single stub 방식에 비해 구현이 용이하고 double stub 방식에 비해 넓은 튜닝 범위를 가진다. 10개의 핀 다이오드를 이용하여 제작된 튜너는 10개의 스위치가 비트 형태로 동작하면서 Smith 차트 전 영역에서 $2^{10}$개의 균일한 임피던스 분포를 가지도록 설계되었다. 제작된 튜너는 $1.8{\sim}2.2GHz$의 대역폭에서 넓은 튜닝 영역을 가지며, 반사 계수 크기는 최대 0.9까지 측정되었다. 측정된 임피던스 값을 바탕으로 load-pull 시스템을 구성하였고, 전력 소자용 트랜지스터의 최적 출력단 임피던스를 찾아내었다.
