ZigBee는 저전력 저속 근거리 무선 통신 프로토콜로서 센서 네트워크에 많은 적용이 되는 프로토콜이다. ZigBee가 PAN을 구성하는 방법은 Beacon Enabled PAN과 Non Beacon Enabled PAN의 두 가지가 존재 한다. Non Beacon Enabled PAN에서 데이터 전송방식은 End-Device가 원하는 시점에 Active 상태에 진입하여 데이터를 보내는 방법으로 저전력을 지원한다. 그러므로 Router는 End-Device가 데이터를 보내는 시간을 정확히 알 수 없게된다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해서 Router는 항상 Active 상태로 존재해야 한다. 이로 인해 Non Beacon Enabled PAN을 사용하는 센서 네트워크에서 Router는 별도의 상시 전원을 공급 받아야한다. 그러나 Non Beacon Enabled PAN의 ZigBee Router가 건전지와 같은 한정적인 전력 공급원을 가지게 되는 상황에서는 안정적인 네트워크 구축이 불가능하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해서 PAN Time을 통한 네트워크 동기화를 사용한 저전력 알고리즘을 제안한다. End-Device는 PAN Time을 사용하여 PAN의 동기화를 수행하며, PAN Time을 통해 Router의 저전력 진입을 지원한다.

This research was about shielded trench gate power MOSFET for low voltage and high speed. We used T-CAD tool and carried out process and device simulation for exracting design and process parameters. The exracted parameters was used to design shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET. And The electrical characteristics of shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET were compared and analyzed for their power device applications. As a result of analyzing electrical characteristics, the recorded breakdown voltages of both devices were around 120 V. The electric distributions of shielded and conventional trench gate power MOSFET was different. But due to the low voltage level, the breakdown voltage was almost same. And the other hand, the threshold voltage characteristics of shielded trench gate power MOSFET was superior to convention trench gate power MOSFET. In terms of on resistance characteristics, we obtained optimal oxied thickness of $3{\mu}m$.

Wolsong NPP are CANDU6 type reactors and there are 4 CANDU6 type reactors in commercial operation. CANDU type reactors require on-power refuelling by two remote controlled F/Ms (Fuelling Machines). Most of channels, fuel bundles are float by channel coolant flow and move toward downstream, however in about 30% of channels the coolant flow are not sufficient enough to carry fuel bundles to downstream. For those channels a special device, FARE (Flow Assist Ram Extension) device, is used to create additional force to push fuel bundles. It has been showing that during fuelling operation of some channels the channel coolant flow rate is reduced below specified limit (80% of normal), and consequently trip alarm signal turns on. This phenomenon occurs on selected channels that are instrumented for the channel flow and required to use the FARE device for refuelling. Hence it is believed that the FARE device causes the problem. It is also suspected that other channels that do not use the FARE device for refuelling might also go into channel flow low state. The analysis revealed that the channel How low occurs as the FARE device is introduced into the core and disappears as the FARE device is removed from the core. This paper presented the FARE device behavior, detailed fuelling operation sequence with the FARE device and effect on channel flow low phenomena. The FARE device components design changes are also suggested, such as increasing the number or now holes in the tube and flow slots in the ring orifice.

There are increasing interests on smart home systems. However, most of the existing works focus on the functionality itself. In this paper, we propose an extensible smart home system based on low power networking such as CoAP, 6LoWPAN, and Zigbee. The proposed home IoT system consists of Home APP, Home Server, Home Broker, and Power Devices. Each component of the system is connected by the low-power network technologies aforementioned. As the end device, Power Device senses the current consumption of the attached appliance and controls the power to it. Power Device reports the sensing data to Home Server via Home Broker. The Home Broker enhances the scalability of the system. Home Broker extends the service area and the user's services, and it manages the connection of the underlying devices and processes, and transmits data to Home Server from Power Devices. Through the experimental evaluation, we show that the proposed system achieves the design goals such as extensibility and low power networking.

This research analyzed the electrical characteristics of an 80 V optimal trench power MOSFET (metal oxide field effect transistor) for mobile applications. The power MOSFET is a fast switching device in fields with low voltage(<100 V) such as mobile application. Moreover, the power MOSFET is a major carrier device that is not minor carrier accumulation when the device is turned off. We performed process and device simulation using TCAD tools such as MEDICI and TSUPREM. The electrical characteristics of the proposed trench gate power MOSFET such as breakdown voltage and on resistance were compared with those of the conventional power MOSFET. Consequently, we obtained breakdown voltage of 100 V and low on resistance of $130m{\Omega}$. The proposed power MOSFET will be used as a switch in batteries of mobile phones and note books.

Power MOSFET operate voltage-driven devices, design to control the large power switching device for power supply, converter, motor control, etc. We have optimal designed planar and trench gate power MOSFET for high breakdown voltage and low on resistance. When we have designed $6,580{\mu}m{\times}5,680{\mu}m$ of chip size and 20 A current, on resistance of trench gate power MOSFET was low than planar gate power MOSFET. The on state voltage of trench gate power MOSFET was improved from 4.35 V to 3.7 V. At the same time, we have designed unified field limit ring for trench gate power MOFET. It is Junction Termination Edge type. As a result, we have obtained chip shrink effect and low on resistance because conventional field limit ring was convert to unify.

The fast development of electronic devices towards wireless, portable and multi-functionality desperately needs the self-powered and low maintenance power sources. The possibility to coupling the nanogenerator to wearable and portable electronic device facilitates the self powered device with independent and self sustained power source. Nanogenerator has ability to convert the low frequency mechanical vibration to electrical energy which is utilized to drive the electronic device [1]. The self powered power source has the ability to generate the power from environment and human activity has attracted much interest because of place and time independent. The human body motion based energy harvesting has created huge impact for future self powered electronics device applications. The power generated from the human body motion is enough to operate the future electronic devices. The energy harvesting from human body motion based on triboelectric effect has simple, cost-effective method [2, 3] and meet the required power density of devices. However, its output is still insufficient to driving electronic devices in continues manner so new technology and new device architecture required to meet required power. In the present work, we have fabricated the triboelectric nanogenerator using PDMS polymer. We have studied detail about the power output of the device with respect to different polymer thickness and varied separation distance.

An efficiency improving method for Uninterruptible Power Supply System(UPS) was developed by using OP-AMP based application circuits such as voltage detection device, current detection device and static switch control device. The efficiency improving algorithm was made by mixing the operating concepts of On-Line type UPS with the operating concepts of Off-Line type UPS. The UPS' inverter does not work if the UPS' output load current is not higher than the low load operating current which is about 0-30(%) of the UPS' output load capacity. The low load operating current is adjustable within the half of the UPS' output load capacity. If the UPS' output load current is rising over than the low load operating current, the UPS' inverter starts working and the inverter output power feeds to the loads of UPS. If UPS' input power breaks out while UPS' inverter does not operate because the load current is low, the inverter starts working within 4(ms) with excessive output voltage which is ${\pm}$8(%) of normal UPS' output voltage. Like these. UPS can continuously feeds power to it's load device and reduce power consumptions.

컨테이너 보안장치(CSD)는 컨테이너의 도어를 통한 침입을 감시하는 장치이며, IEEE 802.15.4의 비컨 모드에서 RFD로 동작한다. 그러나 비컨 모드에서는 CSD 리더가 없어도 주기적으로 리더의 신호를 탐지하게 되므로 배터리 소모가 크다. CSD는 목적지에 도착할 때까지 이상없이 동작해야 하므로 배터리 소모를 줄이고, 위험 발생 시 CSD 리더에게 능동적으로 메시지를 전달해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 미국 DHS의 CSD 규격에 부합하는 저전력 CSD를 제안한다. 제안하는 CSD는 전력 소모를 최소화한 하드웨어 디자인과 저전력 동작기법인 불침번 기법, 저전력 센싱 기능을 통해 배터리 소모를 줄인다. 또한 위험 상황 발생 시 리더에게 능동적으로 경고 메시지를 전달한다. 성능 평가 결과 제안한 CSD는 불침번 기법을 통해 배터리 소모를 70% 이상 줄이고, 저전력 센싱 기능을 통해 불필요한 센싱을 80% 이상 감소시키며, 직접적인 통신 거리 밖에 있는 리더에게 94%가 넘는 확률로 메시지를 전달할 수 있음을 보였다.
