In this paper, the previous 2-D gradient coil design method using loop current elements is extended to 3-D or multi-layer structures which is useful for various MRI applications including MR microscopic imaging where relatively large space may be available for the implementation of the gradient coils. Either the power consumption or the stored energy (thus, inductance), or the combination of the two can be minimized with a set of chosen target field constraints. Complete 3-D design equations for the optimization as well as inductance or resistance calculation are derived. An effective coil shape correction method for a curved current pattern is also developed. The design method can also be easily extended to the active shielding structure.

This paper analyses current densities induced inside a worker using AC arc welder when he wears a protective cloth. Applying the boundary element method, we calculate current densities induced in organs inside a worker in case he was located at 1[cm], 15[cm], 20[cm] far from a power cable of AC arc welder. As results of study, we find a maximum current density induced in all organs may be lower than 10[$mA/cm^2$] if he wears a protective cloth. We also know high permeability materials can lower current density more than high conductivity materials.

Recently, the number of passengers using airplanes is rapidly increasing due to the increase of overseas travelers. Therefore, the probability of exposure to natural radiation due to altitude is increasing due to the increase in flight time. Cosmic-ray penetrates the Earth's magnetic field belt Van Allen, which is located at an altitude of 400 km to 1200 km. Most cosmic rays are blocked at Van Allen belt. However, cosmic-ray could be not completely blocked, and a small amount of cosmic-ray affects the earth. In general, if the altitude was increased by 100m, the natural exposure dose increased by 0.03 mSv on the Earth. In this study, I tried to minimize the exposure to natural radiation in airplanes when boarding airplanes. Especially, I was aimed to minimize radiation exposure by protecting the highly sensitive thyroid gland among human organs. According to the results of the study, the designed shielding handkerchief was able to shield cosmic natural radiation dose by more than 70%. In conclusion, the application of the shielding handkerchief made in this study can be effectively shield natural radiation.

In this paper, we propose the method to eliminate EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) in ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) band below 2 KHz for extending the gesture-recognition distance of smart TVs to more than 3m using electric potential sensor. First, we measure the electric field generated from the back panel of a TV and propose the effective arrangement of two sets of differential sensors as well as the shielding method using metal fiber. Also, we eliminate the PLN (Power Line Noise) and other noise generated from the TV and sensors as well as surrounding environments using filters. Using the proposed EMI eliminating methods, we evaluate displacement ratio on measured signals according to distance between sensors and a moving hand. Experiment results show that our proposed method can extend the hand-gesture sensing distance using EPS (Electric Potential Sensor) up to more than 3m, which is enough to satisfy applicability of EPS based remote control to Smart TVs.

Carbonyl iron (CI) is successfully incorporated as an additive into a polystyrene (PS) matrix via a highenergy ball milling method, under an n-hexane medium with volume fractions between 1% and 5% for electromagnetic interference shielding applications by the combination of magnetic CI and an insulating PS matrix. The morphology and the dispersion of CI are investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, which indicates a uniform distribution of CI in the PS matrix after 2 h of milling. The thermal behavior results indicate no significant degradation of the PS when there is a slight increase in the onset temperature with the addition of CI powder, when compared to the as-received PS pellet. After milling, there are no interactions between the CI and the PS matrix, as confirmed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. In this study, the milled CI-PS powder is extruded to make filaments, and can have potential applications in the 3-D printing industry.

An HTS power cable is generally composed of 2 layers for conducting and 1 layer for shielding. For the analysis of AC loss of an HTS power cable, 2-dimensional magnetic field analysis is carried out. The magnetization loss in HTS cable core was calculated, and the transport current loss was obtained from the monoblock equation and the elliptical Norris Equation. And the total AC loss of the cable was expected by the sum of magnetization loss and transport current loss. The variation of ac loss with respect to the gap and uncertain factor between the superconducting tapes was investigated, and the ac loss of 22.9kV/50MVA high-Tc superconducting power cable was calculated. These results well agree with those of experiment.

Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)를 포함한 Transparent Conduction Oxide (TCO)는 LCD, OLED와 같은 Display, 그리고 Solar Cell 등 광신호와 전기신호간 변환이 필요한 모든 Device에 반드시 필요한 핵심 물질로, 특히 고특성 Display의 투명전극에서 요청되는 95% 이상의 투과도와 $15\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ 이하의 면저항 특성을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 기술은 현재까지 Plasma Sputtering 공정으로 $160^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 증착된 ITO 박막이 유일하다. 그러나, 최근 차세대 기술로서 Plastic Film을 기반으로 하는 Flexible Display 및 Flexible Solar Cell 구현에 대한 요구가 급증하면서, Plastic Film 기판위에 Plasma Damage이 없이 상온에 가까운 저온 ($100^{\circ}C$ 이하)에서 특성이 우수한 ITO 투명전극을 형성 할 수 있는 기술의 확보가 중요한 현안이 되고 있다. 지난 10년 동안 $100^{\circ}C$이하 저온에서 고특성의 ITO 또는 TCO 박막을 얻기위한 다양한 연구와 구체적인 공정이 활발히 연구되어 왔으나, ITO의 결정화 온도 (통상 $150{\sim}180^{\circ}C$)이하에서 증착된 ITO박막은 비정질 상태의 물성적 특성을 보여 원하는 전기적, 광학적 특성확보가 어려웠다. 본 논문에선 기본적으로 절연체 특성을 가져야 하는 산화물인 TCO가 반도체 또는 도체의 물리적 특성을 보여주는 기본원리의 고찰을 토대로, 재료학적 특성상 Crystalline 구조를 보여야 하는 ITO (Complex Cubic Bixbyte Structure)가 Plasma Sputtering 공정으로 저온에서 증착될 때 비정질 구조를 갖게 되는 원인을 규명하고, 이를 바탕으로 저온에서 증착된 ITO가 Crystalline 구조를 유지 할 수 있게 하고, Stress Control에 유리한 Nano-Crystalline 박막을 형성하면서 Crystallinity를 임의로 조절 할 수 있는 새로운 기술인 Magnetic Field Shielding Sputtering (MFSS) 공정과 최근 성과를 소개한다. 한편, 또 다른 새로운 저온 TCO 박막형성 기술로서, 유기반도체와 같은 Process Damage에 매우 취약한 유기물 위에 Plasma Damage 없이 TCO 박막을 직접 형성할 수 있는 Neutral Beam Assisted Sputtering (NBAS) 기술의 원리를 설명하고, 본 공정을 적용한 Top Emission OLED 소자의 결과를 소개한다. 또한, 고온공정이 수반되는 Solar Cell용 투명전극의 경우, 통상의 TCO박막이 고온공정을 거치면서 전기적 특성이 열화되는 원인을 규명하고, 이에 대한 근본적 해결 방법으로 ITO 박막의 Dopant인 Tin (Sn) 원자의 활성화를 증가시킨 Inductively Coupled Plasma Assisted DC Magnetron Sputtering (ICPDMS)의 원리와 박막의 물성적 특성과 내열 특성을 소개한다.

The thermal characteristics of the electrodeless lamp are one of the main factors that determine the design and performance of the lamp. The coupler changes the impedance characteristic by heat and its use temperature is usually within about $150^{\circ}C$. In this study, we observed the phenomenon when the coupler was exposed at a temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ or higher, which has not been discussed so far. Two types of coupler A and coupler B with different spacing between the inner tube and the coupler were analyzed for electrical, thermal and optical properties and deterioration characteristics with different heat and heat shielding conditions. First, the impedance of the system is obtained and used as a criterion for analyzing the electrical characteristics through it. The diameters of the two types of couplers are 1 mm, and the experimental result shows that the coupler diameter is 1 mm, which can cancel out the loss of the magnetic field strength. Therefore, based on these results, when the coupler is exposed to high temperature of about $200^{\circ}C$, the efficient design method corresponding thereto is proposed.
