Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) are used to provide lighting for liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This paper presents a set of guidelines for measurement characterization and design to reduce the power consumption of CCFL LCD backlight inverters and panel electronics. The proposed methods aim to reduce the backlight power consumption by fine-tuning a back-light inverter for a specific LCD, using several methods. First, the authors describe their power measurement methodology; and next, they identify different areas for tuning a backlight inverter for a given display. The experiment results showed that power savings can range from 50 to 200mW if the backlight inverter is properly tuned. This paper also proposes an optimized configuration for light-emitting device (LED) panels to reduce power loss by selecting a LED with a specific input voltage and number of cells to help minimize power loss.

기준음원은 음향파워 측정에 활용되는 중요한 기준기로, 국제 표준으로 그 사양이 규정되어 있으며, 측정 표준 분야에서 주요 교정 품목으로 분류되고 있다. 이러한 기준음원은 공급 전압에 의하여 그 출력이 영향을 받기 때문에 각국에서 자체적으로 교정 서비스 체계를 확보할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 잔향실 조건에서 기준음원을 교정하는 절차를 수립하고 불확도를 평가하였다. 교정 절차는 기본적으로 음향 파워의 정밀급 측정과정을 적용할 수 있으며, 여기서는 ISO 3741의 잔향실을 활용한 측정 방법을 검토하였다. 이를 위한 측정 시스템을 구성하고 실제 2종의 기준 음원에 대하여 측정을 수행하고 측정 불확도를 산출하였다. 측정 예를 통하여 잔향실 내 음압 분포의 불균일성과 체적 측정 불확도가 전체 불확도에 기여가 큰 것을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 입력 전압에 대한 영향을 실험적으로 검토하여 음향 파워 측정에서 반영할 수 있는 불확도 기여량을 검토하였다.

Power grid techniques are distributed over general power systems ranging from power stations to power transmission, power distribution, and users. To monitor and control the elements and performance of a power system in real time in the extensive area of power generation, power transmission, wide-area monitoring (WAM) and control techniques are required (Sattinger et al. 2007). Also, to efficiently operate a power grid, integrated techniques of information and communication technology are required for the application of communication network and relevant equipment, computing, and system control software. WAM should make a precise power grid measurement of more than once per cycle by time synchronization using GPS. By collecting the measurement values of a power grid from substations located at faraway regions through remote communication, the current status of the entire power grid system can be examined. However, for GPS that is used in general national industries, unexpected dangerous situations have occurred due to its deterioration and jamming. Currently, the power grid is based on a synchronization system using GPS. Thus, interruption of the time synchronization system of the power system due to the failure or abnormal condition of GPS would have enormous effects on each field such as economy, security, and the lives of the public due to the destruction of the synchronization system of the national power grid. Developed countries have an emergency substitute system in preparation for this abnormal situation of GPS. Therefore, in Korea, a system that is used to prepare for the interruption of GPS reception should also be established on a long-term basis; but prior to this, it is required that an evaluation technique for the time synchronization performance of a GPS receiver using an atomic clock within the power grid. In this study, a monitoring system of time synchronization based on GPS at a power grid was implemented, and the results were presented.

It is widely known that the ultra high frequency (UHF) method that detects the electromagnetic wave of the PD pulses in the gas insulated space is one of the most competitive methods for its high sensitivity. From the above point of view, this paper describes the noise suppression methods and the PD measurement results of the in-service substation by the developed UHF PD measurement system which consists of the external UHF coupler, the UWB LNA and the digital storage oscilloscope. As results, it was found that the effect of the noise suppression methods were verified and that the developed external UHF coupler showed a better detection sensitivity than a conventional external coupler.

The breaker noise is one of the main noise sources of construction site. It is very important to assess and measure the breaker noise accurately, because the noise labelling will be in effect January 2008 in Korea. Therefore, It is necessary to measure the sound power level of breakers and use a appropriate test method in accordance with international standard. In this study, we measure the sound power level of breakers by using the breaker noise measurement system. This system makes it possible to measure the breaker noise more accurately than to measure the noise of that attached with excavator, because this system can control main factors affecting breaker noise such as hydraulic input power, hydraulic supply pressure, breaker inlet oil flow and so on.

This paper presents the measurement of phasor angle of power system using Synchronized Phasor Measurement System(SPMS). SPMS includes the GPS receiver, so it can add the exact time information to the data acquired from the power system by SPMS. Using that data, we can compare the difference of phasor angles of voltages currents acquired at the exactly same time, and monitor the RMS values of voltage and current. In this paper, we present the difference of voltage angles between 345kV Sinjechon S/S and 345kV Asan S/S, where two SPMS were installed separately, and prove their performance by comparing to simulation result of PSS/E.

In man cases, the measurement error variances may be functions of the unknown true values or related covariate. In some cases, the measurement error variances increase in proportion to the value of predictor. This paper develops estimators of the parameters of a linear measurement error variance function under stratified multistage random sampling design and additional conditions. Also, this paper evaluates and compares the power of an asymptotically unbiased test with that of an asymptotically biased test. The proposed method are applied to blood sample measurements from the U.S. Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES III)

This parer proposes a power-line phase measurement algorithm which is based on the recursive implementation of sliding-DFT. Usage of the single DFT coefficient in the conventional sliding-DFT based power-line phase measurement brings a significant error propagation when implemented in hardware with finite word-length arithmetic operations. The proposed algorithm utilizes all the N-point DFT coefficients in the recursion. Performance degradation caused by the finite word- length implementation of the algorithm is analyzed and verified with computer simulations. The robustness of the proposed phase measurement algorithm against the erroneous implementation is also confirmed by the performance analysis and simulation.

This paper describes a measurement method for electromagnetic field strength of power-line communications(PLC) modem. First it outlines the technology used in PLC modems, and the technical regulation being offered to the technology, from the point of view of its effect on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The radio spectrum needs protection from other interferers, and there is a regime in place to provide this protection. Difficulties in achieving compatibility between the requirements for radio protection and the requirements for operation of the PLC modem mean that there is no consensus as yet as to how PLC modem components can be made compliant with EMC requirements globally. It is concluded that there is a measurement method according to CISPR standards which satisfy requirements in domestic regulation.

Methods for measuring surface roughness based on light reflectivity have advantages over methods based on light interference or diffraction, especially in in-situ, on-the-machine and in-process applications. However, measurement inconsistencies caused by changes in the specimen are still a drawback for field applications. In this study, we propose a new feedback-based algorithm to enhance the consistency against changes in the specimen. The algorithm is deduced from simulations based on light reflectance theory with typical modeled surfaces. The proposed method is similar to a digital controller and regulates the power of reflected light. Experiments varying heights and materials, verified the improvements in robustness of the method against measurement disturbances caused by specimen changes.
