The conventional types of X-ray generators were bulky in physical size and heavy in weight, and the control accuracies of the output voltages were not always satisfactory. The high frequency switching inverter and converter technology on power conversion and control systems have been greatly closed up introducing power semiconductor devices. To decreasing the volume and the weight of high voltage transformer, and to stabilize ripple. In this paper, the newly developed x-ray generator in a low cost using duty modulation PWM inverter. This system verify improved performance by stabilize ripple of X-ray tube voltage and compared the reproducibility, linearity and dose in single phase, three phase and PSU.

In this study, a novel single phase soft switched power factor correction (PFC) converter is developed with active snubber cell. The active snubber cell provides boost switch both to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). As the switching losses in the proposed converter are too low, L and C size can be reduced by increasing the operating frequency. Also, all the semiconductor devices operate with soft switching. There is no additional voltage stress in the boost switch and diode. The proposed converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. It has a simple control loop to achieve near unity power factor with the aid of the UC3854. In this study, detailed steady state analysis of the proposed converter is presented and this theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype of 100 kHz and 500 W converter. The measured power factor and efficiency are 0.99 and 97.9% at full load.

This paper deals with the analysis, design, and implementation of a single phase AC-DC Zeta converter with high frequency transformer isolation and power factor correction(PFC) in two modes of operation, discontinuous current mode of operation(DCM), and continuous current mode of operation(CCM). A Digital Signal Processor(DSP) based implementation is carried out for validation of the Zeta converter developed design in discontinuous mode of operation. A comparison of both modes of operation is presented for a 1kW power rating from the point of view of steady state and dynamic behavior, power quality, simplicity, control technique, device rating, and converter size. The experimental results of a developed prototype of Zeta converter are presented for validation of the developed design. It is observed that CCM is most suitable for higher power applications where it requires some complex control and sensing of the additional variables.

While the matrix converter has many advantages that include bi-directional power flow, a size reduction, a long lifetime, and sinusoidal input currents, it is vulnerable to the input voltage disturbances, because it directly exchanges the input voltage to the output voltage. So, in this paper, a critical evaluation of the effect of various abnormal voltage conditions like unbalanced power supply, balanced non-sinusoidal power supply, input voltage sags and short time blackout of power supply on matrix converter fed induction motor drives is presented. The operation under various abnormal conditions has been analyzed. For this, a 230V, 250VA three phase to three phase matrix converter (MC) fed induction motor drive prototype is implemented using DSP based controller and tests have been carried out to evaluate and improve the stability of system under typical abnormal conditions. Digital storage oscilloscope & power quality analyzer are used for experimental observations.

This paper describes the three-phase inverter system for 1/2[HP] induction servo motor, using TMS370C050 single-chip microprocessor. The Power MOSFETs are used for PWM inverter circuit because of the advantages such as less harmonic losses and smaller peak current, less torque ripples and noises. Single-chip microprocessor enables the whole controller to be simple and reduced size as well as to more stable and flexible. The basic structures are shown for the power circuit, including the protection and driving circuitry, and the control loops for inverter control functions. The experimental results are given for the prototype PWM inverter system.

The microbubbles were used in various fields, such as turbulent control, drag reduction, material science and life science. The X-ray PTV using X-ray micro-imaging technique was employed to mea-sure the size and velocity of micro-bubbles moving in an opaque tube simultaneously. Micro-bubbles of $10{\sim}60{\mu}m$ diameter moving upward in an opaque tube (${\phi}$=2.7mm) were tested. Due to the different refractive indices of water and air, phase contrast X-ray images clearly show the exact size and shape of over-lapped microbubbles. In all of the working fluids tested (deionized water, tap water, 0.01 and 0.10M NaCl solutions), the measured terminal velocity of the microbubbles rising through the solution was proportional to the square of the bubble diameter. The rising velocity was increased with increasing mole concentration. The microbubble can be useful as contrast agent or tracer in life science and biology. The X-ray PTV technique should be able to extract useful information on the behavior of various bio/microscale fluid flows that are not amenable to analysis using conventional methods.

Active control is regarded as one of the most efficient and economic countermeasures to reduce excessive vibration of ship superstructure. However, it is difficult to find its practical application in real ships in spite that many studies on such systems have been done. In this study, for the practical use of an active control system to reduce ship superstructure vibration, we have developed an active vibration compensator consisting of a mechanical actuator having compact size and expected lifetime over 20 years, its control panel including exclusive signal processing and computing board, sensors to detect phase and vibration, and its operation software providing various user-interface functions. From the performance verification test of the system at a 5,500 TEU container carrier, we have confirmed the system could reduce ship superstructure vibration of a harmonic component of main engine rotating frequency up to 0.1 mm/s.

Pechini 방법으로 98.0 mol% ZnO, 1.0mol% $Bi_2O_3$, 0.5mol% CaO, 그리고 0.5mol% $MnO_2$ 조성의 ZnO 바리스터를 제조하여 소결거동과 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. Pechini 방법으로 제조된 ZnO 바리스터 분말은 평균 입자크기가 $1.5\mu$m 정도이며 좁은 입도 분포를 보였다. $1100^{\circ}C$의 소결온도에서 전형적인 액상소결 과정에서 나타나는 입자성장 거동을 보였으며, 균일한 입자크기와 입계를 따라 Bi가 풍부한 액상이 고르게 분포된ZnO 바리스터를 제조할 수 있었다. 본 실험에서 비직선계수는 40~60 정도의 비교적 높은 값을 보였으며, 항복전압의 역수는 입자크기에 거의 비례하였다. 이것은 Pechini 방법으로 제조한 ZnO 바리스터가 균일한 입자크기와 균일한 액상의 분포를 갖는 바람직한 미세구조를 갖는 것을 보여 주는 것으로, Pechini 방법을 이용함으로서 ZnO 바리스터의 미세구조를 효과적으로 조절할 수 있으므로, 그 전기적 특성의 제어가 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Silk fibroin microparticles were fabricated using a phase separation technique between silk fibroin solution and polyvinyl alcohol. We found that the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol determines the size of microparticles. The mean diameter of the silk fibroin microparticles varied from 3.48 ㎛ to 4.05 ㎛. The silk fibroin microparticle size increased as a function of the concentration of PVA in aqueous silk solution. The resulting silk fibroin microparticles have narrow size distribution (i.e. monodisperse) and smooth/spherical surface. Also, we studied the effects of mouse serum, sodium phosphate buffer (PBS), and pH on the stability of the silk fibroin microparticles. Overall, we demonstrated the simple method to fabricate and to control the silk fibroin microparticles that makes our silk microparticles to be usable for a potential drug delivery carrier.

3상 변압기를 이용한 멀티레벨 인버터는 단상 변압기를 이용한 경우에 비해 변압기 수를 줄일 수 있으며, 변압기 이용률을 증대시켜 변압기 크기를 줄일 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 많은 수의 스위치 소자가 필요하다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 공통암을 이용하여 스위치 수를 줄인 3상 변압기 절연 멀티레벨 인버터를 제안한다. 제안한 인버터는 스위칭 주파수를 기본주파수와 동일하게 제어하면서 등면적 법에 의해 도통각을 제어 하여 출력전압의 THD 감소 및 스위치 손실을 줄였다. 또한 Matlab을 이용한 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증 하였다.
