An interleaved bridgeless buck-boost AC/DC converter is presented in this paper to achieve the characteristics of low conduction loss, a high power factor and low harmonic and ripple currents. There are only two power semiconductors in the line current path instead of the three power semiconductors in a conventional boost AC/DC converter. A buck-boost converter operated in the boundary conduction mode (BCM) is adopted to control the active switches to achieve the following characteristics: no diode reverse recovery problem, zero current switching (ZCS) turn-off of the rectifier diodes, ZCS turn-on of the power switches, and a low DC bus voltage to reduce the voltage stress of the MOSFETs in the second DC/DC converter. Interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used to control the switches such that the input and output ripple currents are reduced such that the output capacitance can be reduced. The voltage doubler topology is adopted to double the output voltage in order to extend the useable energy of the capacitor when the line voltage is off. The circuit configuration, principle operation, system analysis, and a design example are discussed and presented in detail. Finally, experiments on a 500W prototype are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper is introducing a newly developed spark-gap switch with dual trigger system, into which the current from the voltage source is injected along with the test sequence during the synthetic testing of high voltage circuit-breaker. The currently-used spark gap switch is narrow in operating range due to the use of the method of triggering energy being injected by single way. As a result, the frequent happening of misoperation has greatly reduced the test quality and test efficiency and has required the cost of maintenance excessively. In this study, accordingly, in order to basically remove these problems, another triggering system is installed to the opposite direction on the existing triggering system; attaching the same time and the same rising time of pulse wave as on the existing system, so that at a comparatively trigger gap distance from the main electrode(the gap can be operated at 60% of self-break voltage, while at 80% in the current system), the main electrode has been enabled to be closed by the development of spark gap switch with dual trigger system.

The structural and electrical characteristics of SBT thin films, fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO\ulcorner/Si substrates by a pulsed laser deposition(PLD), were investigated to develop ferroelectric thin films for capacitor lay-ers of FRAM. EFfects of target composition on the characteristics of SBT thin films were examined. Target were prepared by mixed oxide method, and composition of Sr/Bi/Ta on SBT was changed to 1/2/2, 1/2.4/2, 1/2.8/2, 0.8/2/2 and 1.2/2/2. SBt thin films were fabricated, as a function of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure, by PLD. The optimized ocndition, to fabricate high quality SBT thin films, was 700 $^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature, 200 mTorr of oxygen pressure, and 2 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of laser energy density. Maximum remnant value(2Pr) of 9.0 $\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, coercive field value(Ec) of 50 kV/cm, dielectric constant value of 166, and leakage current densities of <10\ulcorner A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ were observed for the films with 1/2/2 composition, which was prepared at the above PLD condition.

Agglomeration of catalysts is known as one of the major degradation mechanisms. Reforming of liquid fuel, which requires high temperature over $800^{\circ}C$, accelerates agglomeration of catalysts. In this work, The effects of agglomeration on catalysts activity in partial oxidation reforming conditions were investigated. Metal supported catalysts(Pt-CGO, Ru-CGO) were compared to perovskite-structured catalysts(NECS-P1, NECS-P2). High thermal stability of perovskite-structured catalysts was reported. Micro-reactor installed in electric furnace was used. its Temperature was raised from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ to accelerate agglomeration effect. To measure rate of agglomeration, BET analysis and CO pulse chemisorption were conducted on catalysts exposed to $1100^{\circ}C$. Metal supported catalysts showed degradation at $1000^{\circ}C$ and The rates were different according to metal supported. On the other hand perovskite-structured catalysts showed no degradation at $1000^{\circ}C$.

Due to the rapid spread of mobile handheld devices, industrial demands for micro-scale holes with a diameter of even smaller than $10{\mu}m$ in sapphire/silicon wafers have been increasing. Holes in sapphire wafers are for heat dissipation from LEDs; and those in silicon wafers for interlayer communication in three-dimensional integrated circuit (IC). We have developed a sapphire wafer driller equipped with a 532nm laser in which a cooling chuck is employed to minimize local heat accumulation in wafer. Through the optimization of process parameters (pulse energy, repetition rate, number of pulses), quality holes with a diameter of $30{\mu}m$ and a depth of $100{\mu}m$ can be drilled at a rate of 30holes/sec. We also have developed a silicon wafer driller equipped with a 355nm laser. It is able to drill quality through-holes of $15{\mu}m$ in diameter and $150{\mu}m$ in depth at a rate of 100holes/sec.

Integrated RFID-WSNs (wireless sensor networks) have recently been researched to provide object identities, sensing information, mobile service, and network functionalities. In integrated RFID-WSNs, the reader collision is one of the critical problems. Above all, due to the absence of universally applicable anti-collision protocols and the channel capture phenomenon, the medium access control protocols in integrated RFID-WSNs suffer from reader collision and starvation problems. In this paper, we propose an efficient MAC protocol, called EMP, to avoid the above problems in integrated RFID-WSNs. EMP is a CSMA-based MAC protocol which is compatible with sensor networks operating on integrated nodes which consist of an RFID reader and a senor node. EMP resolves not only the reader collision problem, but also the starvation problem using a power control mechanism. To verify the performance of EMP, we compared it with other anti-reader collision MAC protocols using simulations. As a result, the performance of EMP showed improvements in throughput, system efficiency, and energy consumption compared to the single data channel protocols (CSMA/CA, Pulse, and DiCa) in dense deployment environments.

Electric breakdown in the liquid produces a spark channel. The energy input into the channel causes expansion of a vapor gas cavity. If the power of the discharge is high enough, this expansion is fast enough to produce a shock wave which propagates through the liquid to the subject of destruction. We focused our attention on the correlation between electric parameters and the characteristics of the flash caused by point to-point electrode discharge in the water. By varying firing voltage and gap length, we obtained the features of the flash : amplitude, pulse width, and so on. In this paper, We have known that there is a concrete interrelation between underwater firing voltage and photodiode output.

펄스 데토네이션 엔진에서와 같이 탄화수소를 연료로 하는 데토네이션 파는 강한 불안정성을 가지며 난류 연소 효과를 고려한 연구를 수행하여야 함이 제시된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 강한 불안정성을 가지는 데토네이션 파의 구조를 이해하기 위하여 비점성 해석, 점성 해석, 난류 모델 및 간단한 난류 연소 모델을 고려한 수치 해석 연구를 수행하였다. 모델링 수준에 따른 연구를 통하여 점성 및 난류는 저주파 특성에는 거의 영향이 없으나, 고주파 특성을 강화하는 경향이 있는 것으로 보인다. 한편, 데토네이션 연구를 위한 난류-연소 상호 작용 모델에는 활성화 에너지의 영향이 고려되어야 하는 것으로 여겨진다.

쌍안정 TN LCD를 매트릭스 어드레싱 구동을 할 때 패널 파라미터와 구동 파형을 최적화하는 방법을 제시하였다. 쌍안정 TN 액정 셀에서 데이터 전압이 광 수위칭 특성에 미치는 영향을 측정하였고 이를 이론적으로 모델링 하였다. 스위칭에 데이터 전압이 미치는 영향을 고려하기 위해 시간의 함수로써 weighting 함수를 도입하였다. Weighting 함수를 알아내면 최소의 데이터 펄스폭을 계산함으로써 멀티플렉싱 구동을 위한 최대의 구동 라인 수를 계산할 수 있다. 또한 패널 파라미터(예, d/p)를 변화 시키면서 테스트 셀을 구동하면 고속 동작을 위한 파라미터를 최적화할 수 있다. 이로부터 이론적 예측과 실험 결과가 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.
