We developed a 440MHz surface acoustic wave (SAW) microsensor integrated with pressure-temperature sensors and ID tag. Two piezoelectric substrates were bonded, in which ${\sim}150\;{\mu}m$ cavity was structured. Four sides were completely sealed by JSR photoresist (PR). Pressure sensor was placed on the top substrate, whereas ill tag and temperature sensor were placed on the bottom substrate. Using network analyzer, the developed microsensor was wirelessly tested. Sharp reflection peaks with high S/N ratio, small signal attenuation, and small spurious peaks were observed. All the reflection peaks were well matched with the coupling of mode (COM) simulation results. With a 10mW RF power from the network analyzer, a ${\sim}1$ meter readout distance was observed. Eight sharp ON reflection peaks were observed for ID tag. Temperature sensor was characterized from $20^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. A large phase shift per unit temperature change was observed. The evaluated sensitivity was ${\sim}10^{\circ}/^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, the robust superconductor flywheel energy storage system(SFESS) controller using $H_{\infty}$ control theory was designed to damp low frequency oscillation of power system. The main advantage of the $H_{\infty}$ controller is that uncertainties of power system can be included at the stage of controller design. Both disturbance attenuation and robust stability for the power system were treated simultaneously by using mixed sensitivity $H_{\infty}$ problem. The robust stability and the performance for uncertainties of power system were represented by frequency weighted transfer function. To verify control performance of proposed SFESS controller using $H_{\infty}$ control, the closed loop eigenvalue and the damping ratio in dominant oscillation mode of power system were analyzed and nonlinear simulation for one-machine infinite bus system was performed under disturbance for various operating conditions. The results showed that the proposed $H_{\infty}$ SFESS controller was more robust than conventional power system stabilizer (PSS).

A novel imaging system for High-resolution Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography (HUTT) and soft tissue differentiation methodology for the HUTT system are presented. The critical innovation of the HUTT system includes the use of sub-millimeter transducer elements for both transmitter and receiver arrays and multi-band analysis of the first-arrival pulse. The first-arrival pulse is detected and extracted from the received signal (i.e., snippet) at each azimuthal and angular location of a mechanical tomographic scanner in transmission mode. Each extracted snippet is processed to yield a multi-spectral vector of attenuation values at multiple frequency bands. These vectors form a 3-D sinogram representing a multi-spectral augmentation of the conventional 2-D sinogram. A filtered backprojection algorithm is used to reconstruct a stack of multi-spectral images for each 2-D tomographic slice that allow tissue characterization. A novel methodology for soft tissue differentiation using spectral target detection is presented. The representative 2-D and 3-D HUTT images formed at various frequency bands demonstrate the high-resolution capability of the system. It is shown that spherical objects with diameter down to 0.3㎜ can be detected. In addition, the results of soft tissue differentiation and characterization demonstrate the feasibility of quantitative soft tissue analysis for possible detection of lesions or cancerous tissue.

Heave compensation is a vital part of various marine and offshore operations. It is used in various applications, including the transfer of cargo between two vessels in the open ocean, installation of topsides of an offshore structure, offshore drilling and for surveillance, reconnaissance and monitoring. These applications typically involve a load suspended from a hydraulically powered winch that is connected to a vessel that is undergoing dynamic motion in the ocean environment. The goal in these applications is to design a winch controller to keep the load at a regulated height by rejecting the net heave motion of the winch arising from ship motions at sea. In this study, we analyze and compare the performance of various control algorithms in stabilizing a suspended load while the vessel is subjected to changing sea conditions. The KCS container ship is chosen as the vessel undergoing dynamic motion in the ocean. The negative of the net heave motion at the winch is provided as a reference signal to track. Various control strategies like Proportional-Derivative (PD) Control, Model Predictive Control (MPC), Linear Quadratic Integral Control (LQI), and Sliding Mode Control (SMC) are implemented and tuned for effective heave compensation. The performance of the controllers is compared with respect to heave compensation, disturbance rejection and noise attenuation.

In this study, road transportation tests were conducted with surrogate fuel assemblies under normal conditions of transport to evaluate the vibration and shock load characteristics of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The overall test data analysis was conducted based on the measured acceleration and strain data obtained from the speed bump, lane-change, deceleration, obstacle avoidance, and circular tests. Furthermore, representative shock response spectrums and power spectral densities of each test mode were acquired. Amplification or attenuation characteristics were investigated according to the load transfer path. The load attenuated significantly as it transferred from the trailer to the cask. By contrast, the load amplified as it transferred from the cask to the surrogate SNF assembly. The fuel loading location on the cask disk assembly did not exhibit a significant influence on the strain measured from the fuel rods. The principal strain was in the vertical direction, and relatively large strain values were obtained in spans with large spacing between spacer grids. The influence of the lateral location of fuel rods was also investigated. The fuel rods located at the side exhibited relatively large strain values than those located at the center. Based on the strain data obtained from the test results, a hypothetical road transportation scenario was established. A fatigue evaluation of the SNF rod was performed based on this scenario. The evaluation results indicate that no fatigue damage occurred on the fuel rods.

본 논문에서는 유전체가 삽입된 공진기를 이용하여 C-band용 대역통과 여파기를 설계, 제작하였다. 공진기의 높이는 인접 유전체 공진기의 도파관 차단 주파수로부터 결정된다. 공진기의 지름은 도체 손실을 고려하여 유전체의 두 배로 결정하였다. 유전체 공진기의 공진주파수는 비소멸(non-decaying) 모드 해석법으로 계산하였다. 일반적으로 원통형 유전체 공진기의 공진주파수는 Cohn 모델로 해석하였는데, 이것은 공진기의 벽과 유전체벽 사이에서 전자파가 소멸(decaying)된다는 가정 하에 해석한 방법이다. 그러나， 이 방법은 근사적인 해석방법이다. 외부양호도(external quality factor)인 $Q_{ex}$는 Ansoft의 Maxwell 시뮬레이션 툴을 사용하여 결정하였다. 유전율 45인 유전체를 사용하여 설계한 대역통과 여파기는 5.065GHz의 중심주파수를 가졌다. 삽입손실은 1dB, 밴드 폭은 20MHz, 감쇠 특성은 30dB$(f_0{\pm}15MHz)$)로 설계목표에 만족함을 알 수 있다.

본 논문은 LED-TV용 SMPS EMI 감쇄 필터에서 적용되고 있는 저주파와 고주파의 광범위한 대역에서 EMI 감쇄가 가능한 기생 커패시턴스 저감형 Hybrid 초크 코일의 코일 구조, 권선 방법 및 섹션 보빈에 따른 기생 커패시턴스 임피던스 모델링을 나타내고 있다. 특히 본 논문에서 제안한 기생 커패시턴스 저감형 Hybrid 초크 코일은 평각 동선 권선방법을 채택함으로써 기존의 자동 권선형 공통 모드 초크 코일에 비해 기생커패시턴스($C_p$)을 저감할 수 있다. 기생 커패시턴스($C_p$)가 작아짐에 따라 제안한 기생 커패시턴스 저감형 Hybrid 초크 코일의 1차 공진 주파수는 증가하며 1차 공진 주파수가 증가함에 따라 특히 고주파 대역에서 임피던스특성이 개선됨을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기생 커패시턴스 저감형 Hybrid 초크 코일은 향후 LED-TV SMPS를 포함한 LED 조명, Note-PC Adapter 등과 같은 다양한 분야에 응용되리라 사료된다.

지진원 및 지반의 동적 특성을 보다 신뢰성 있게 도출하기 위해 지반의 증폭특성은 반드시 고려되어야 하는 요소이다. 지반증폭 특성을 분석할 때 여러가지 방법이 제시되어 있으나 본 연구에서는 Nakamura (1989)에 의해 제시된 방법을 적용하였다. 본 방법은 얕은 지반의 상시미동의 표면파 특성을 이해하기 위해 제시되었으나 근래에 와서 S파 등에 적용되어 지반의 동적인 증폭 특성연구에 많이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 S파에 적용 뿐만 아니라 추가하여 새로이 Coda 파에 적용하여 비교 분석하였다. 최근 국내에서 관측된 5개의 중규모지진(규모 3.6- 규모 5.1)으로 관측된 약 60여개의 관측자료를 이용하여 지진관측소에서 각각 지반의 동적인 증폭 특성을 분석하였다. 관측소마다 저진동수, 고진동수 및 우월주파수가 서로 다른 증폭특성을 보여주었다. 일부 관측소는 제한된 주파수 대역에서 약 4배의 증폭특성을 보여주고 있어 관측소 하부의 작은 규모의 기하학적 층서이상대 이거나 다양한 trapped mode 등과 같은 층서적인 특성을 유추할 수 있었다. 또한 관측지반진동에서 지반 고유의 증폭특성을 제거하면 지진원 및 비탄성감쇠 변수를 보다 신뢰성 있게 도출할 수 있다. 또한 지진재해도 평가에도 정보를 제공하는 것이 가능하다.

Controversy has surrounded the potential impacts of phytoplankton on the tropical climate, since climate models produce diverse behaviors in terms of the equatorial mean state and El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitude. We explored biophysical impacts on the tropical ocean temperature using an ocean general circulation model coupled to a biogeochemistry model in which chlorophyll can modify solar attenuation and in turn feed back to ocean physics. Compared with a control model run excluding biophysical processes, our model with biogeochemistry showed that subsurface chlorophyll concentrations led to an increase in sea surface temperature (particularly in the western Pacific) via horizontal accumulation of heat contents. In the central Pacific, however, a mild cold anomaly appeared, accompanying the strengthened westward currents. The magnitude and skewness of ENSO were also modulated by biophysical feedbacks resulting from the chlorophyll affecting El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ and La $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$ in an asymmetric way. That is, El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ conditions were intensified by the higher contribution of the second baroclinic mode to sea surface temperature anomalies, whereas La $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$ conditions were slightly weakened by the absorption of shortwave radiation by phytoplankton. In our model experiments, the intensification of El $Ni{\tilde{n}}o$ was more dominant than the dampening of La $Ni{\tilde{n}}a$, resulting in the amplification of ENSO and higher skewness.
