A constant voltage AC-DC converter based on digital assistant technology is proposed in this paper, which has rapid dynamic response capability. The converter operates in the PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation) mode. According to the load state, the compensation current produced by the digital compensation module was injected into the CS pin to adjust the switching pulse width dynamically and improve the dynamic response. The control chip is implemented based on NEC $1{\mu}m$ 5V/40V HVCMOS process. A 5V/1.2A prototype has been built to verify the proposed control method. When the load jumps from idle to heavy, the undershoot time is only 7.4ms.

A conditional probability based approach known as Particle Filter Method (PFM) is a powerful tool for system parameter identification. In this paper, PFM has been applied to identify the vehicle parameters based on response statistics of the bridge. The flexibility of vehicle model has been considered in the formulation of bridge-vehicle interaction dynamics. The random unevenness of bridge has been idealized as non homogeneous random process in space. The simulated response has been contaminated with artificial noise to reflect the field condition. The performance of the identification system has been examined for various measurement location, vehicle velocity, bridge surface roughness factor, noise level and assumption of prior probability density. Identified vehicle parameters are found reasonably accurate and reconstructed interactive force time history with identified parameters closely matches with the simulated results. The study also reveals that crude assumption of prior probability density function does not end up with an incorrect estimate of parameters except requiring longer time for the iterative process to converge.

Ferroelectric material properties are strongly governed by domain structures and their evolution processes, but the evolution processes of complex domain patterns during a macroscopic electrical poling process are still elusive. In the present work, domain-evolution processes in a PZT ceramic near the morphotropic phase-boundary composition were studied during a step-wise electrical poling using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). Electron backscatter diffraction was used with the PFM data to identify the grain boundaries in the region of interest. In response to an externally the applied electric field, growth and retreat of non-$180^{\circ}$ domain boundaries wasere observed. The results indicate that ferroelectric polarization-switching nucleates and evolves in concordance with the pattern of the pre-existing domains.

본 논문에서는 다중입출력 가시광통신에서 플리커 현상을 완화하기 위한 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. LED 가시광통신은 LED의 광을 이용하여 데이터를 전송하는 기술로 조명의 역할과 동시에 네트워크 구축이 가능한 효과적인 방법이다. 최근에는 전송률 향상을 위해 다수의 송신 LED를 이용한 다중입출력 가시광통신에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 다중입출력 가시광통신은 송신 LED들 간의 광 간섭 문제와 수신부에서의 광 검출 문제, 서로 다른 데이터 비트를 전송하며 발생하는 플리커 문제점 등을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 전송률과 오류율 성능에 관한 광 간섭과 광 검출 문제는 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만 조명의 역할을 위한 플리커 현상의 문제점에 관하여 많은 연구가 진행되지 않고 있다. 이러한 다중입출력 가시광통신에서의 플리커 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 전송 패턴의 변화를 이용한 PFM(Parallel Flicker Mitigation) 코드를 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 시스템의 플리커 완화 성능을 분석하였다.

The pressure tube is a major component of the CANDU reactor, which supports nuclear fuel bundle and heavy water coolant. Pressure tubes are installed horizontally inside the reactor and only selected samples are periodically examined during in-service inspection. In this respect, a probabilistic safety assessment method is more appropriate fur the assessment of overall pressure tube safety. The failure behavior of CANDU pressure tubes, however, is governed by delayed hydride cracking which is the major difference from pipings and reactor pressure vessels. Since the delayed hydride cracking has more widely distributed governing parameters, it is impossible to apply a general PFM methodology directly. In this paper, a PFM methodology for the safety assessment of CANDU pressure tubes is introduced by applying Monte Carlo simulation in determining failure probability Initial hydrogen concentration, flaw shape and depth, axial and radial crack growth rate and fracture toughness were considered as probabilistic variables. Parametric study has been done under the base of pressure tube dimension and hydride precipitation temperature in calculating failure probability. Unstable fracture and plastic collapse are used for the failure assessment. The estimated failure probability showed about three-order difference with changing dimensions of pressure tube.

Addition of probiotics to yogurt with desired health benefits is gaining increasing attention. To further understand the effect of probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum on the quality and function of fermented milk, probiotic fermented milk (PFM) made with probiotic L. plantarum K25 and yogurt starter (L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) was compared with the control fermented milk (FM) made with only the yogurt starter. The probiotic strain was shown to survive well with a viable count of 7.1 ± 0.1 log CFU/g in the PFM sample after 21 days of storage at 4℃. The strain was shown to promote formation of volatiles such as acetoin and 2,3-butanediol with milk fragrance, and it did not cause post-acidification during refrigerated storage. Metabolomics analysis by GC-MS datasets coupled with multivariate statistical analysis showed that addition of L. plantarum K25 increased formation of over 20 metabolites detected in fermented milk, among which γ-aminobutyric acid was the most prominent. Together with several other metabolites with relatively high levels in fermented milk such as glyceric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, glycine, alanine, ribose, and 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, they might play important roles in the probiotic function of L. plantarum K25. Further assay of the bioactivity of the PFM sample showed significant (p < 0.05) increase of ACE inhibitory activity from 22.3% at day 1 to 49.3% at day 21 of the refrigerated storage. Therefore, probiotic L. plantarum K25 could be explored for potential application in functional dairy products.

This study was aimed to verify a comparison by dental alloys upon the marginal fitness of dental prosthesis. Firstly, we waxed up on 45 epoxy resin dies, pressed the margin with hands, and identified the marginal fitness with microscope. And we made a single direct spruing system type of sprue by 3 dental alloys - metal crown alloys, PFM crown alloys, and gold crown alloys - each 15, total 45 waxing up, adjusting W/P ratio and invested the cast ring. Then, we made the dental prosthesis using the electric casting machine. In these processes we followed the manufacturer's instructions, in order to maintain the other conditions from the inner and outer, which included investment and burning out. After we tried on the dental prosthesis on epoxy resin dies, we have got the means of marginal gap at 9 points with same distances, around the cervical line which was checked already, using microscope($\times$300). The results of this study were as follows : 1. Metal crown alloys showed 2.9% better in marginal fitness than PFM crown alloys, and the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.497). 2. Gold crown alloys showed 31.3% better in marginal fitness than Metal crown alloys, and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.004). 3. Gold crown alloys showed 32.4% better in marginal fitness than PFM crown alloys, and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.002). 4. We saw that Gold crown alloys was the best dental alloys in the marginal fitness among the three.(P=0.049).

본 논문은 부하직렬 고주파 공진 DC/DC 컨버터에 가변 가능한 공진커패시터를 병렬로 삽입한 LCC형 고주파 공진 DC/DC 컨버터의 특성과 설계 예를 나타내고 있으며, 또한 턴-오프시 스위칭 손실을 줄이기 위해 ZVS를 가지는 소프트 스위칭을 사용하였다. 제안 컨버터는 PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation) 스위칭 패턴을 사용하여 동작되며, PFM 제어에 의해 제안 회로의 출력전압을 제어하였다. 병렬커패시터의 커패시턴스의 변화에 따라, DC/DC 컨버터의 분석은 일반적으로 무차원화 파라미터를 사용하여 나타내었고, 회로 동작 특성은 스위칭 주파수와 파라미터로 행하였다. 또한 본 논문은 특성평가에 의해 제안 DC/DC 컨버터의 동작 특성과 회로 설계 방법을 제시하였다. 더욱이 본 논문은 실험을 통해 이론 분석의 정당성을 입증하였다. 향후 제안한 DC/DC 컨버터는 반도체 및 FPD의 클린룸에 선형이동 시스템의 비접촉 전원장치에 적용 가능하다고 생각된다.
