Due to the increasing need for miniaturization of electronic device, embedded resistor technology using thick film resistance paste to embed resistors currently mounted on the board thus effectively reducing board size, is being extensively researched. In this research, thick film resistor paste having $0.35{\sim}4k{\Omega}/sq$ range of resistivity were fabricated using mixtures of carbon black and epoxy resin. In order to adjust the TCR (temperature coefficient resistivity), TCR modifiers such as Ni-Cr alloy, $SiO_2$ powder were added and were able to improve on TCR value with $100ppm/^{\circ}C$. Finally embedded resistor board using thick film resistance paste were fabricated. Stable resistivity value and reliability results were achieved.

A thermal cycling test was conducted on a chip resistor solder joint with real-time failure monitoring. In order to study the failure mechanism of the chip resistor solder joint during the test, the resistance between both ends of the resistor was monitored until the occurrence of failure. It was observed that the monitored resistance first fluctuated linearly according to the temperature change. The initial variation in the resistance occurred at the time during the cycle when there was a decrease in temperature. A more significant change in the resistance followed after a certain number of cycles, during the time when there was an increase in the temperature. In order to explain the failure patterns of the solder joint, a mechanism for the solder failure was suggested, and its validity was proved through FE simulations. Based on the explained failure mechanism, it was shown that prognostics for the solder failure can be implemented by monitoring the resistance change in a thermal cycle condition.

Constant temperature hot wire air flow meter for automobiles requires temperature compensation system because hot wire output signal is sensitive to ambient temperature variations as well as fluid velocity. The objectives of the present study are to design an air flow meter circuit which is capable of compensating the hot wire output signal for ambient temperature variations and to investigate the mechanism of such temperature compensation. This circuit is composed of platinum hot wire, platinum resistor, two variable resistors, a constant resistor and a DC-amplifier. In particular, by simply replacing a constant resistor in one of the bridge arms of the conventional circuit with platinum resistor and a variable resistor for the purpose of temperature compensation, the deviation of output signal with respect to ambient temperature variations between 27deg. C 70deg. C could be reduced to less than 2.5% for mass flow rate and to less than 5% for velocity respectively. The mechanism of temperature compensation against ambient temperature variations was explained by means of measuring the heat transfer coefficient with hot wire temperature variations and analyzing and analyzing conventional empirical equations qualitatively.

In this paper, chaotic circuit of the voltage controlled Lorentz system for engineering applications has been designed and implemented in an electronic circuit. The proposed circuit consists of MOS variable resistor, multipliers, capacitors, fixed resistors and operational amplifiers. The circuit was analysed by PSPICE program. PSPICE simulation results show that chaotic dynamics of the circuit can be controlled by the MOS variable resistor through time series analysis, frequency analysis and phase diagrams. Also, we implemented the proposed circuit in an electronic hardware system with discrete elements. Measured results of the circuit showed controllability of the circuit using the MOS resistor.

In this paper, a design of dynamic braking resistor for stationary mode of azimuth driving equipment (ADE) for multi-function radar (MFR) is presented. The ADE carries out missions which is the rotation mode for all directions and the stationary mode for tracing a subject with standstill. The ADE has to transfer the operation mode in demand time from rotation mode to stationary mode for precise target tracing. During the transition with deceleration, it may cause the fault of input power device due to back-electromotive force (back-EMF) of PMSM with generator mode. To protect the power device, a design of dynamic braking resistor is essential for consuming back-EMF. This paper presents the development of dynamic braking resistor for consuming back-EMF of ADE with deceleration mode. The validity and effect of the design is verified using simulation results.

In this paper. we propose a floating resistor with positive and negative resistance operating at lower supply voltages. The circuit uses only two transistors between the supply voltages. which enable to operate it at low supply voltages. Moreover. the circuit uses fewer number of transistors compared to the reported work. The gate terminal is used in this circuit for the current addition/subraction at the terminals of resistor. The characteristic of the proposed circuit is verified using HSPICE for the power supply +/-1.5V.

In this research, we proposed the simple and efficient method to calculate the shear stresses by using the mid-point measurements in ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ semiconductor resistor-sensor pair. Compared to the previous works, the measurements became much simpler by combining the approximation theory with the technique of mid-point measurement. In addition, we proposed another novel method for the stress calculation in which we could increase the sensitivity of the stress sensor by controlling the applied voltage between the sensor-pair. For the applied voltage of 8 V, the sensitivity showed a significant increase by 100%.

Breakdown characteristics of insulator-liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) composite insulation for resistor type High $T_c$/ superconducting fault current limiter (HTSFCL) under ac and impulse voltage in $LN_2$ has been studied using model electrode systems. Electrodes for model electrode systems were made of SUS 304 contacted fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) and Au coated sapphire. The breakdown characteristics of model electrode systems were investigated experimentally for FRP thickness ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm. surface distance ranging from 2.5 mm to 7 mm and electrode gap ranging from 1 to 5 mm. The experimental data suggested that the breakdown voltage of model electrode systems in $LN_2$ is highly dependent on the surface distance, electrode gap as well as on the FRP thickness. Also, we had observed discharge traces and puncture due to high-voltage 60-Hz AC stress.

The brightness of LED changes according to the current flowing through LEDs. The current mirror was used to drive LEDs effectively. The reference current of the current mirror was usually controlled by the resistor but the size of this resistor is very large and this resistor consumes too much power for high power LED backlight driving. The reference current of the current mirror LED driver was controlled by using flyback converter at small size with low power consumption in this paper. The concept of active current source was presented.

In this paper, we analyzed Microwave-DC conversion efficiency for the rectennas and it's position change. Rectenna consist of a two major parts, receiveing antenna and rectifying circuits. We made two types of 2.45C rectennas which the dipole and the patch antenna. Rectifying circuit is a GaAs-schottky diode with a large forward current and reverse breakdown voltage. The results of RF-DC conversion efficiency for two rectennas, patch type has 75.6% efficiency with 400$\Omega$ load resistor and dipole type has 69.75% efficiency with 360$\Omega$ load resistor. When the rectennas has optimal load resistor, Rectenna efficiency shows of $\pm10%$ at $70^{\circ}$~$110^{\circ}$ position.
