The pH-dependent inter-conversion of the three free chlorine species ($Cl_2$, HOCl, OCl-) present in the aqueous hypochlorite solution was theoretically investigated. Each species was found overwhelmingly present in a characteristic pH range. Hypochlorite treatment of the polyamide membrane was carried out over these pH ranges and various membrane responses were observed. As pH is less than 8, membrane tends to be N-chlorinated by $Cl_2$ and HOCl, and N-chlorinated membrane showed reduced water permeance and salt rejection. As pH rises to 10-12, $OCl^-$ appears to be the dominating chlorine species. Membrane hydrolysis was found to well interpret the improved water permeance and salt rejection. When the pH is between 8-10, both N-chlorination and hydrolysis contribute to the response of the membrane, and the treated membrane showed improved salt rejection but reduced water permeation. Excessive hydrolysis occurred while the membrane was treated at pH 13 for the much stronger alkalinity.

본 논문은 두 개의 대역 저지 반파장 슬롯을 방사체에 삽입하여, 향상된 대역 저지 특성을 갖는 보우타이형 광대역 모노폴 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나는 전자기적으로 급전된 보우타이 형태의 방사 평면과 접지면 사이에 반원 모양의 기생 접지면을 추가한 구조이다. 향상된 대역 저지 특성을 얻기 위하여 두 수평 슬롯간의 결합량을 조절하였다. 측정된 안테나는 $4.96{\sim}5.51GHz$에서 저지 특성을 갖고, $2.7{\sim}6.9GHz$에서 정재파비 2.0 이하를 만족하는 광대역 특성을 나타내었다. 단일 슬롯 사용과 비교하면, 넓은 저지 대역폭과 향상된 스커트 특성을 나타내었다. 측정된 안테나의 방사 패턴은 이상적인 모노폴 안테나와 유사한 특성을 가지며, 저지 대역에서의 안테나 이득은 다른 동작 주파수에 비해 x-z 평면을 기준으로 $5{\sim}10dB$ 이상 감소되었다.

The power supply rejection (PSR) of low drop-out (LDO) voltage regulator is improved by employing an error amplifier (EA) which is configured so the power supply noise be cancelled at the output. The LDO regulator is implemented in a 0.13-${\mu}m$ standard CMOS technology. The external supply voltage level is 1.2-V and the output is 1.0-V while the load current can range from 0-mA to 50-mA. The power supply rejection is 46-dB, 49-dB, and 38-dB at DC, 2-MHz, and 10-MHz, respectively. The quiescent current consumption is 65-${\mu}A$.

In this paper, a new interference rejection filter using the data-recycling technique is presented. The reference signal of the interference rejection filter is formed by using chip decisions, which is correlated with the narrowband interference components of the received signal. The decision feedback techniques reduce the distortion of the desired signal, which is introduced by the interference rejection filter through he use of feedback chip decisions. In order to update the filter coefficients a simple and efficient data-recycling technique that has improved performance over the conventional LMS algorithm is used. The performance of the proposed interference rejection filter is compared to filter with conventional LMS linear filter. The results show that the convergence speed of the proposed interference rejection filter using decision feedback and data-recycling technique is significantly faster than that of the conventional filters. Also, BER performance of the interference rejection filter demonstrates the superiority of the proposed filter algorithm.

본 논문은 광대역 통신 시스템중 특히 직접 확산 스펙트럼 시스템에서, 중심주파수에 연속성 간섭파가 존재할 때 간섭파를 제거하는 회로에 대한 이론적 해석과 실험결과를 제시한다. 이 회로는 연속성 간섭파의 위상을 추정하기 위해 위상추정기를 사용하였으며 추정 에러를 최소화시키기 위해 MSE법을 이용했다. 그러므로 추정에러가 최소화된 제시한 간섭제거회로는 위상추정만을 행한 제거회로보다 성능이 양호하며 실험결과 J/S비가 높을 수록 제거 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

DMC(Dynamic Matrix Control) algorithm has been successfully used in industries for more than a decade. It can handle constraints and easily extended to MIMO case. The application of DMC, however, is limited to the open loop stable process because it uses the FIR(Finite Impulse Response) or FSR(Finite Step Response) model. Integrating process widely used in chemical process industry, is the representative open loop unstable process. The disturbance rejection of DMC is relatively poor due to the assumption that the current disturbance is equivalent to the future disturbance. We propose the IDMC(Improved Dynamic Matrix Control) for the integrating process, as well as non-integrating process. IDMC has shown better disturbance rejection using multi-step ahead predictor for the disturbance.

Sponge ball cleaning can generate an abrasion effect, which leads to an attractive increasing in both permeate flux and membrane rejection. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the daily sponge ball cleaning (SBC) on the performance of different UF cross-flow membrane modules integrated with a bioreactor. Two 1"-membrane modules and one 1/2"-membrane module were tested. The parameters measured and controlled are temperature, pH, viscosity, particle size, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total suspended solids (TSS), and permeate flux. The permeate flux could be improved by 60%, for some modules, after 11 days of daily sponge ball cleaning at a transmembrane pressure of 350 kPa and a flow velocity of 4 m/s. Rejection values of all tested modules were improved by 10%. The highest permeate flux of 195 L/㎡.h was achieved using a 1"-membrane module with the aid of its negatively charged membrane material and the daily sponge ball cleaning. In addition, the enhancement in the permeate flux caused by daily sponge ball cleaning improved the energy specific demand for all tested modules. The negatively charged membrane showed the lowest energy specific demand of 1.31 kWh/㎥ in combination with the highest flux, which is a very competitive result.

An air-gap type FBAR was designed using Leach equivalent model for analyzing a vertical structure of the FBAR. For the top electrode, Pt, and the bottom electrode, Au, of $1.2{\mu}m$ thickness and the piezoelectric of 0.8,urn thickness, the resonance and anti-resonance occurred at 2.401 GHz and 2.460 GHz, respectively. $S_{11}$ was increased and $S_{21}$ was decreased as the resonance area of FBAR was widened. We observed the characteristics of insertion loss, bandwidth and out-of-band rejection of ladder-type FBAR BPF by changing resonance areas of series and shunt resonators and by adding stages. As the resonance area of series resonator was increased, insertion loss was improved but out-of-band rejection was degraded. And as the resonance area of shunt resonator was increased, insertion loss was degraded a little but out-of-band rejection was improved even without adding stages. We, also, changed the shape of the resonance area from square shape to rectangle shape to examine the effects of the resonator shape on the characteristics of the BPF. The best performances were observed when the sizes of series and shunt resonator are $150{\mu}m{\times}l50{\mu}m\;and\;5{\mu}m{\times}50{\mu}m$, respectively. Out-of-band rejection was improved about 10dB and bandwidth was broadened from 30MHz to 100MHz utilizing inductor tuning on $2{\times}2\;and\; 4{\times}2$ ladder-type BPFs.

Discovery of non-invasive diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for acute rejection in liver transplant patients would help to ensure the preservation of liver function in the graft, eventually contributing to improved graft and patient survival. We evaluated selected cytokines and chemokines in the sera from liver transplant patients as potential biomarkers for acute rejection, and found that the combined detection of IL-10, IL-17, and CXCL10 at 1-2 weeks post-operation could predict acute rejection following adult liver transplantation with 97% specificity and 94% sensitivity.

좌우현 합성 선로 메타재질구조 쎌 형식인 UWB 대역통과여파기의 저지특성을 향상시키기 위해, 메타재질특성을 유지하면서도 소형화라는 설계목적에 적합한 저역통과여파기 개념을 제안한다. 따라서 대역통과여파기 자체는 파장의 0.25배보다 훨씬 작게 만들어지고, 이는 인터디지틀 결합기와 접지된 스텁으로 구성되며, 전후에 대칭형 소형 저역통과 블록을 가진다. 설계결과는, 예상대로, 관내파장의 1/8의 크기, 대역폭 100%, 1dB 이하의 삽입손실, 평탄한 군지연, 우수한 반사손실 특성을 보인다.
