This paper describes a tripple-mode DC-DC buck converter with DPSS Fucntion. The DC-DC buck converter operate in PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) mode at moderate to heavy loads(80mA~500mA), in PFM(Pulse Frequency Modulation)at light loads(1mA~80mA), and in LDO(Low Drop Out) mode at the sleep mode(<1mA). In PFM mode DPSS(Dynamic Partial Shutdown Strategy) is also employed to increase the efficiency at light loads. The triple-mode converter can thus achieve high efficiencies over wide load current range. The proposed DC-DC converter is designed in a CMOS 0.18um technology. It has a maximum power efficiency of 97.02% and maximum output current of 500mA. The input and output voltages are 3.3V and 2.5V, respectively. The chip size is $1465um{\times}895um$ including pads.

Laser-induced incandescence (LII) is introduced as a valuable tool for the characterization of nanoparticles in flame environments. This technique is based on the heating of the particles by a short laser pulse and the subsequent detection of the thermal radiation. It has been applied successfully for the investigation of soot in different fields of application. The evaluation of the temporal decay of the laser-induced incandescence (LII) signal from soot particles is introduced as a technique to obtain two-dimensional distributions of particle sizes and is applied to a laminar diffusion flame. This novel approach to soot sizing exhibits several theoretical and technical advantages compared with the established combination of elastic scattering and LII, especially as it yields absolute sizes of primary particles without requiring calibration. With this technique a spatially resolved 2-D measurement of soot primary particle sizes is feasible in a combination process form the ratio of emission signals obtained at two delay times after a laser pulse, as the cooling behavior is characteristic of particle size.

High quality indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were grown by pulse laser deposition (PLD) on flexible polyethersulphone (PES) substrates. The electrical, optical, and surface morphological properties of these films were examined as a function of substrate temperature and oxygen pressure. ITO thin films, deposited by PLD on a PES substrate at room temperature and an oxygen pressure of 15 mTorr, have a low electrical resistivity of $2.9{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and a high optical transmittance of 84 % in the visible range. They were used as the anode in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The maximum electro luminescence (EL) and current density at 100 $cd/m^2$ were 2500 $cd/m^{2}$ and 2 $mA/m^{2}$, respectively, and the external quantum efficiency of the OLEDs was found to be 2.0 %.

Recently, it is increased to apply sensorless drive for BLDC (Brushless DC) motor to household electrical appliances, especially in the refrigerators and air conditioners, to reduce the cost and the acoustic noise by the operation and to make their functions more comfortable for human beings. In this paper, low-cost sensorless drive for BLDE motor is implemented by random PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The experimental results show that the electromagnetic noise was reduced and the sound quality was improved by BLDC motor sensorless random PWM Control.

We demonstrate a simple CO2 laser by controlling firing angle of a TRIAC switch in ac power line. The power supply for our laser system switches the voltage of the AC power line (60Hz) directly. The power supply does not need elements such as a rectifier bridge, energy-storage capacitors, or a current-limiting resistor in the discharge circuit. In order to control the laser output power, the pulse repetition rate is adjusted up to 60Hz and the firing angle of TRIAC gate is varied from 45 to 135. A ZCS(Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control the gate signal of the TRIAC precisely. The maximum laser output of 40W is obtained at a total pressure of 18Torr, a pulse repetition rate of 60Hz, and a TRAIC gate firing angle of 90.

본 논문에서는 인가 전극구조가 다른 두가지 형태의 아크성 스트리머 방전용 플라즈마 반응기를 설계 제작하였다. 제작된 반응기에 60 Hz상용전원과 펄스파워를 인가전원으로 사용하여 반응기 형태와 인가전원에 따른 수소발생 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 또한 방전 전력에 따른 수소발생량을 비교 분석하였다. 수소 발생을 위한 효과적인 수표면 방전은 강한 전계 집중과 높은 에너지 밀도를 동반한 아크성 스트리머 방전 분위기 형성이 필요하다. 인가전원으로 상용전원을 이용한 경우보다 펄스파워를 사용한 경우와 강한 전계집중 증대를 위해 인가 전극이 석영관 내에 배치된 전극 구조에서 수소발생에 효과적이였다.

To drive a magnetron injection gun, thsi paper decribes a design, fabrication and analysis results of proposed compact capacitor charging power supply (CCPS) formed resonant full-bridge inverter for electron gun power supply (EGPS). EGPS needs the -40 kV output voltage and 280 kW output power for few seconds continuously and have to be designed for the rise and fall time to be less than 1 ms with the ripple stability of output voltage of lower than 1%. In order to meet the requirements, we used eight resonant full-bridge modules operated in parallel. Each resonant full-bridge module can supply the current of 0.9 A and the voltage of 40 kV, and is operated by N-phase shift switching pattern. In this paper, we present the design, simulation and test results of interleaved CCPS.

최근 고출력 펄스 스퍼터링, HPPMS (high power pulsed magnetron sputtering)을 개선한 기술이 개발되고 있다. High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS)이라고도 불려지는 이 기술은 Kouznetsov1) 에 의해 개발되었으며, 짧은 주기 동안 높은 peak power 밀도를 얻을 수 있기 때문에, 스퍼터링시 높은 이온화율을 만들 수 있다. 스퍼터 된 종들의 높은 이온화는 다양한 분야에서 기존 코팅 물질의 특성 개선 및 self-assisted 이온 증착 공정을 통해 우수한 박막을 제조하는데 기여되고 있다. 그러나 HIPIMS는 순간 전력 밀도가 MW수준으로 높아서 고융점, 고열전도도의 물질에만 적용할 수 있다는 단점을 가지고 있다). 최근에 HIPIMS를 대체하기 위해 modulated pulse POWER (MPP)가 개발되었다. 이것은 스퍼터 된 종들의 이온화율을 높일 수 있음과 동시에 여러 가지 물질에 적용할 수 있다고 보고하고 있다. MPP와 HIPIMS와의 차이점은 HIPIMS는 간단한 하나의 초고출력 펄스를 이용하는 반면에, MPP는 펄스 길이 3 ms 안에서 다양하게 조절이 가능하며, 한 전체 펄스 주기 안에서 다중 세트 펄스와 micro 펄스를 자유롭게 조합하여 인가할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 실험에서는 In2O3 : SnO2의 조성비 10:1 wt% target을 사용하였으며, Ar:O2의 유량비는 10:1의 비율로, 기판의 온도를 올려 주지 않는 상태에서 실험을 하였다. Ar 유량을 40 sccm으로 고정시킨 후 O2의 유량을 2~6 sccm에 대하여 비교를 하였다. 박막의 두께를 100 nm로 이하로 하였을 때 비저항은 $7.6{\times}10-4{\Omega}cm$의 값을, 80% 이상의 투과도와 10 cm2/Vs 이상의 mobility를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 박막 두께 150 nm로 고정, substrate moving에 따른 ITO 박막의 차이를 알아보았다. 비저항의 값은 $5.6{\times}10-4{\Omega}cm$의 값을, 80% 이상의 투과도와 15 cm2/Vs의 값을 얻었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of aroma foot reflexology and foot reflexology on blood pressure, pulse rate and blood lipid level of elderly essential hypertensive patients in a rural area. The research method was a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design and the participants were consisted of 71 elderly patients with essential hypertension who were being registered at C health Clinic(G gun, Chungnam province). Here, we compared experimental group I(aroma foot reflexology) 24 persons, experimental group II(foot reflexology) 27 persons and control group(conventional treatment) 20 persons to measure the effect. The data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 12.0. The systolic blood pressure(p<.05), the diastolic blood pressure(p<.05), and the pulse rates(p<.01) of experimental group I and II after intervening respectively with aroma foot reflexology, and foot reflexology for 6 weeks were significantly decreased than the control group, but the blood lipid level was no significant difference among 3 groups(p>.05). In conclusion, both of aroma foot reflexology and foot reflexology had positive effects to decrease the blood pressure and pulse rates of the elderly essential hypertensive patients in a rural area and would be utilized as a nursing intervention for them.
