This paper presents a novel prototype of the utility AC power interfaced soft-switching sinewave pulse modulated inverter using the high-frequency flyback for the small scale distributed renewable energy power conditioner. The proposed cricuit with a high-frequency isolation link has a funtion of electrical isolation, which is more cost-effective and reliable for the small-scale distributed renwal energy utilization system from a safety point of riew. The discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) operation of the high-frequency flyback transformer is adopted to establish a simple and low-cost circuit configuration and control scheme. For the simplicity, the circuit operating principle is described on the basis of the modified conventional full bridge inverter, whitch is the typical conventional high-frequency full-bridge inverter employing the high requency flyback transformer to eanble the effictive function of the electrical isolation. Than, the new circuit topology of the unility-interfaced soft-switching sinewave pulse modulated inverter using IGBTs is proposed. The proposed cricuit topology is additionally composed of the auxiliary power regenerating snubber cricuits, which are also mathematically analyzed for the parameter desigen settings. Finally, the performance of the propose inverter is evaluated on the basis of computer-aid simulation. It is noted that the sinewave pulse modulated output current of the inverter is synchronous to the AC main voltage.

Real and reactive power flows on a transmission line interact inherently. This situation degrades power flow controller performance when independent real and reactive power flow regulation is required. In this study, a quasi multi-pulse interline power flow controller (IPFC), consisting of eight six-pulse voltage source converters (VSC) switched at the fundamental frequency is proposed to control real and reactive power flows dynamically on a transmission line in response to a sequence of set-point changes formed by unit-step reference values. It is shown that the proposed hybrid fuzzy-PI commanded IPFC shows better decoupling performance than the parameter optimized PI controllers with analytically calculated feed-forward gains for decoupling. Comparative simulation studies are carried out on a 4-machine 4-bus test power system through a number of case studies. While only the fuzzy inference of the proposed control scheme has been modeled in MATLAB, the power system, converter power circuit, control and calculation blocks have been simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC by interfacing these two packages on-line.

The experimental results of the 2 stage Gifford-McMahon(GM) type pulse tube refrigerator (PTR) or cryopump are presented in this paper. The objectives of his study are to develop design technology of the integral type 2 stage PTR which rotary valve is directly connected to he hot end of the regenerator and acquire its improved performance. Design of the 2 stage PTR is conducted by FZKPTR(Forschungs Zentrum Karlsruhe Pulse Tube Refrigerator) program for the design of pulse tube refrigerators. The fabricated PTR has U-type configuration and incorporates orifice valve, double-inlet valve and reservoir as phase control mechanism. Rotary valve is used to make pulsating pressure and is directly connected to inlet of $1^{st}$ stage regenerator. From experiments, cooling performance map and pressure waveform at each point were measured for different operating frequencies. Experimental results show the best cooling performance with 2 Hz operation in spite of small pressure amplitude. The lowest temperatures of the 2 stage PTR were 16.9 K at the second stage and 58.0 K at the first stage. The cooling capacities achieved were 14.4 W at 79 K, the first stage and 3.6 W at 29 K, the second stage.

In high radiation fields, gamma cameras suffer from pulse pile-up, resulting in poor energy resolution, count losses, and image distortion. To overcome this problem, various methods have been introduced to reduce the size of the aperture or pixel, reject the pile-up events, and correct the pile-up events, but these technologies have limitations in terms of mechanical design and real-time processing. The purpose of this study is to develop a real-time gamma camera to evaluate the radioactive contamination in high radiation fields. The gamma camera is composed of a pinhole collimator, NaI(Tl) scintillator, position sensitive photomultiplier (PSPMT), signal processing board, and data acquisition (DAQ). The pulse pile-up is corrected in real-time with a field programmable gate array (FPGA) using the start time correction (STC) method. The STC method corrects the amplitude of the pile-up event by correcting the time at the start point of the pile-up event. The performance of the gamma camera was evaluated using a high dose rate ¹³⁷Cs source. For pulse pile-up ratios (PPRs) of 0.45 and 0.30, the energy resolution improved by 61.5 and 20.3%, respectively. In addition, the image artifacts in the ¹³⁷Cs radioisotope image due to pile-up were reduced.

본 연구에서는 디지털 방식으로 측정된 맥파의 파형으로부터 최대 높이와 최소 높이의 차이, 즉 맥파의 차동값을 이용하여 혈압을 측정하는 측정 기법을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 적분 방식의 디지털 압력 센서와 블루투스, 스마트폰으로 구성되는 맥파 측정 시스템을 이용하여 맥파 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집된 맥파 데이터들은 고혈압, 정상, 저혈압의 군으로 분류되고, 각 맥파 파형의 최고 값과 최저 값의 개인별 차동값 평균을 도출한다. 맥파 측정시 동시에 혈압계로 측정한 최고혈압과 최저혈압의 값과 맥파 데이터로부터 도출된 차동값의 평균값들을 회귀 분석하면 맥파 차동값과 혈압과의 상관관계인 혈압상관관계식을 도출할 수 있다. 이 혈압상관관계식을 이용하여 임의의 실험자의 맥파 측정을 통한 혈압 추정 실험을 수행한 결과 실험자들의 혈압값들을 용이하게 추정할 수 있었다. 기존의 혈압계를 사용한 측정치에 대하여 제안된 기법은 최저혈압의 경우는 최대 66 %의 오차를 보이므로 그다지 높은 정확성을 보이지 못하지만, 최고혈압의 경우에는 10 % 이하의 오차로 혈압값을 추정할 수 있었다.

치수 생활력 검사시 전통적인 방법으로 전기치수검사나 온도변화검사 등이 있다. EPT와 ice test 즉, 전기치수검사와 온도변화검사는 치아의 신경학적 반응에 의해 치아의 실활여부를 판단하는 방법으로 환자가 아동일때는 정확한 반응을 얻기가 어렵고, 환자의 주관적 반응을 판단해야 하므로 객관적이지 못하고, 소아 환자에게 좋지 못한 자극을 주어 행동 조절의 문제를 일으키며, 거짓 양성반응과 거짓 음성반응이 나을 수 있다는 등의 한계가 있다. 최근에는 전통적인 방법의 한계를 극복하려는 시도에서 혈관의 보전성을 평가하는 방법인 laser doppler flowmetry와 pulse oximeter를 이용하는 방법이 소개되고 있다. Pulse oximeter의 원리는 두 가지 종류의 파장의 빛을 귀, 손가락등 생체의 말단에 투과시켜 발산된 빛과 감지된 빛간의 두 파장의 흡수비로 산소 포화 정도를 알아내는 것으로서 이에 착안하여 또 하나의 생체 말단인 치아에 이를 적용하여 치아의 실활 여부를 판단하는 것이다. 이 보고에서는 치수 생활력 검사시 pulse oximeter의 사용 가능성에대해 검증하고 이의 임상적용에 대해 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 함을 목적으로 했는데 생활치 에서는 평균 96.3%의 산소 포화도를 실활치에서는 평균 0.0%의 산소 포화도를 얻어냄으로서 pulse oximeter가 치아의 실활여부 판단에 있어 유용한 진단도구로서의 가치가 있다는 것이 밝혀졌다.

The purpose of this study was to determine the most accurate technique measuring the apical pulse rate, using three counting duration 15, 30 and 60 seconds, and two methods start ‘0’ and start ‘1’. The instrument used in the study was the EKG monitor, stethoscope and stopwatch. Data was analyzed by utilizing SPSSWIN program. General characteristics of the subjects were analyzed by frequency, percentile, mean, SD. The subject of this research is made up of 46 children and 20 nurses. The children were infants, & under the age of 5. They were hospitalised in PICU & NICU in 2 tertiary hospitals in seoul from Jan. 1. 1998 to Sep. 10. 1998. The measurement of starting 1 & measurement of starting ‘0’ used the T-test to find out the measurement error. Apical pulse duration of 15, 30, 60 seconds were used to find out measurement error, the measurement error depend on experience of Nurse were analyzed by using ANOVA. The result of this study are as follows. 1. When comparing the starting poin of apical pulse 0&1, starting with 1 the measurement error is less, but not statiscally significant. 2. When counting the apical pulse by 15, 30,60 sec. ; 60 seconds counting duration was more accurate, but not statistically significant. 3. The mean of measure error ; Group under 100/min, is 10.33 ; from 100 re 119/min, is 8.30 ; from 120 to 139/min, is 4.76 ; from 140 to 159/min, is 6.09 ; above 160, is 17.83. The differences of these groups are statistically significant. When 60sec were counted, under 140/min the mean of measurement error is 3.4. Also when 30 seconds were counted from 140/min to 159/min the measurement error is 7.14, above 160/min the measurement error is 16.4. That measurement mean is the smallest than the other durations. During the 15 sec. count the measurement error was the largest of them all. 4. By the experience of the nurses, the apical pulse count measurement error was discovered. Under a year experience this measurement error was the largest(11.09), 1 year to under 3 years, the error is the smallest(4.86). 3 year to under 6 years the error is 8.33, 5 years above the error is 6.11 but this is not statistical significant. Under a year experience when counting 15, 30, 60 seconds the error is the largest. The group of the nurses from a year to under 3 years, the measurement error is the smallest of all the groups. The result of the study is to determine the technique measuring the apical pulse rate, Hargest (1974), starting point ‘0’ is not proved. When the pulse rate increases the 30 sec measurement rate is accurate. Under 140/min the 60 sec measurement rate is the most accurate. Depending on the nurses experiences, there is a variable difference to the apical pulse rate measurement. Especially new nurses training courses should enforce the children’s pulse rate count and the basic vital signs.

A new three phase three-level Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Switched Voltage Source (SVS) inverter with zero neutral point potential is proposed. The major advantage is that the peak value of the phase output voltage is twice as high as that of the conventional neutral-point-clamped (NPC) PWM inverter. Furthermore, three-level waveforms of the proposed inverter can be achieved without switch voltage unbalance problem. Since the average neutral point potential of the proposed inverter is zero, the common ground between input stage and output stage is possible. The proposed inverter is verified by experimental results based on a laboratory prototype.
