A PDP(Plasma Display Panel) module consists of a discharge panel, a SMPS(Switched Mode Power Supply) for power supply, driving boards for panel control, and a logic board. Driving boards supply high voltage pulses to induce glow discharge in the PDP panel. The electrical pulses excite the circuit elements and subsequently generate acoustic noises. The main sources of the noise in the circuit are the transformer of SMPS and the power MOSFET(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) of driving boards, and the heat sinks often amplify the noise level. The reduction of the acoustic noises was achieved by modifying both the structural and circuit elements. The structural method was executed by the improvement of heat sinks. The optimization of SMPS and condensers was carried out for the circuit elements.

Drivers for LED MR16 retrofit lamps need to be compatible with the dimmers and electronic transformers which originally operated with the halogen lamps to be replaced. We present a two-stage MR16 LED driver consisting of a boost converter in the first stage and a buck converter in the second stage. Our design has been analyzed in the frequency domain using simulations to demonstrate that it effectively suppresses the high-frequency components of the AC output of the electronic transformer. Experiment results with a driver prototype verify the simulation results as well as dimmability.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a unit module for a 10 kVA class 13.2 kV/220 V unidirectional solid-state transformer (SST) with silicon-carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The proposed module consists of an active-front-end (AFE) converter to interface 1320 V AC voltage source to 2500 V DC link and an isolated resonant DC-DC converter for 500 V low-voltage DC output. The design approaches of the AFE and the isolated resonant DC-DC converters are addressed. The control structures of the converters are described as well. The experiments for the converters are performed, and results verify that the proposed unit module can be successfully adopted for the entire SST operation.

This paper proposes the structure of a smart transformer to improve the performance of the 60Hz main power transformer for rolling stock. The proposed smart transformer is a kind of solid state transformer that consists of semiconductor switching devices and high frequency transformers. This smart transformer would have smaller size than the conventional 60Hz main transformer for rolling stock, making it possible to operate AC electrified track efficiently by power factor control. The proposed structure employs a cascade H-Bridge converter to interface with the high voltage AC single phase grid as the rectifier part. Each H-Bridge converter in the rectifier part is connected by a Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) converter to generate an isolated low voltage DC output source of the system. Because the AC voltage in the train system is a kind of medium voltage, the number of the modules would be several tens. To control the entire smart transformer, the inner DC voltage of the modules, the AC input current, and the output DC voltage must be controlled instantaneously. In this paper, a control algorithm to operate the proposed structure is suggested and confirmed through computer simulation.

Using power semiconductor switches such as IGBTs, diodes and L-C circuits, novel repetitive impulse voltage generator is developed. In the presented circuits, high voltage pulse is generated by series-connection of capacitors and IGBTs. Therefore, the high voltage pulse is obtained by circuit configuration without any high voltage pulse transformer and high voltage dc source. Especially, the proposed circuit can operate up to several kHz and have high reliability and longer life than conventional ones. In also gives voltage balance of IBGTs automatically. So, the difference of characteristics of IGBTs and drive signal does not cause severe problems. To verify the proposed circuit, 20kV and 300A pulse generator is manufactured and tested.

We have suggested an equivalent circuit model for switching performance of bipolar spin transistor composed of a nonmagnetic metal film (N) sandwiched between two ferromagnetic metal films (F1 and F2). The 'ON' or 'OFF' operation of this equivalent circuit model is simulated by depending on the orientation of the magnetization of F1 and F2 rather than the strength of the external magnetic filed. Changing the coupling coefficient, turn number of two inductances, (L1:L2) like a transformer, and parallel variable resistance R4 connected to L2 at the collector region, we can explain the magnetic characteristics and the dependence of magneto resistance ratio on the orientation of spin-polarized electrons.

This study introduces a novel Soft Switching (SS) Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) AC-DC boost converter. In the proposed converter, the main switch is turned on with Zero Voltage Transition (ZVT) and turned off with Zero Current Transition (ZCT). The main diode is turned on with Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) and turned off with Zero Current Switching (ZCS). The auxiliary switch is turned on and off with ZCS. All auxiliary semiconductor devices are turned on and off with SS. There is no extra current or voltage stress on the main semiconductor devices. The majority of switching energies are transferred to the output by auxiliary transformer. Thus, the current stress of auxiliary switch is significantly reduced. Besides, the proposed converter has simple structure and ease of control due to common ground. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified by a prototype with 100 kHz switching frequency and 500 W output power. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed converter is 98.9% at nominal output power.

평판형 안테나를 채택한 TCP (Transformer Coupled Plasma) 형태의 CVD 장비를 이용하여 비정질의 실리콘 박막을 증착 하였다. 비정질 실리콘 박막은 태양전지 및 TFT-LCD 등의 디스플레이 제품 등에 다양하게 적용되고 있는데, 일반적으로 CCP(Capacitor Coupled Plasma) 형태의 CVD 장비에서 증착되어 왔다. TCP-CVD 장비는 CCP-CVD에 비해 플라즈마 내의 높은 이온밀도 및 저압, 저온에서 공정이 가능할 뿐만 아니라, 기판 바이어스 전압을 독립적으로 조절할 수 있어 이은에 의한 증착막의 결함을 낮출 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 발표에서는 자체 기술로 제작된 TCP-CVD의 소개와 증착된 비정질 실리콘 박막의 특성평가를 위한 라만 분석 및 dark conductivity 데이타를 다루었다. 또한 비정질 실리콘 박막의 반도체 소자의 응용성을 보기 위하여 3족 및 5족의 불순물을 도핑하여 전기전도도의 변화를 측정하였다.

ViT(Vision Transformer)는 트랜스포머 구조에 이미지를 패치들로 나눠 한꺼번에 인풋으로 입력하는 모델이다. CNN 기반 모델보다 더 적은 훈련 계산량으로 다양한 이미지 인식 작업에서 SOTA(State-of-the-art) 성능을 보이면서 다양한 비전 작업에 ViT 를 적용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, ViT 모델도 AI 모델 훈련시에 생성된 그래디언트(Gradients)를 이용해 원래 사용된 훈련 데이터를 복원할 수 있는 모델 역전 공격(Model Inversion Attacks)에 안전하지 않음이 증명되고 있다. CNN 기반의 모델 역전 공격 및 방어 기법들은 많이 연구되어 왔지만, ViT 에 대한 관련 연구들은 이제 시작 단계이고, CNN 기반의 모델과 다른 특성이 있기에 공격 및 방어 기법도 새롭게 연구될 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 ViT 모델에 특화된 모델 역전 공격 및 방어 기법들의 특징을 서술한다.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a single fire causes a lot of damage, so fires are one of the disaster situations that must be alerted as soon as possible. Various technologies have been utilized so far because preventing and detecting fires can never be completely accomplished with individual human efforts. Recently, deep learning technology has been developed, and fire detection systems using object detection neural networks are being actively studied. In this paper, we propose a new fire detection system that improves the previously studied fire detection system. We train the YOLOv8 model using refined datasets through improved labeling methods, derive results, and demonstrate the superiority of the proposed system by comparing it with the results of previous studies.
