  • Electric scroll-compressor drives are commonly used for e.g. home appliance cooling units. The recent development of hybrid cars with internal combustion engine in combination with electrical propulsion requires new solutions to be able to cool the passenger compartment of cars at stand-still. Both application areas demand efficient motor drives to reach good economy and efficient use of limited battery power as well as competitive volume/weight for a given output. The BLDC motor is a controllable and efficient solution. A major part of the motor is the soft-magnetic core. The powder based $Somaloy^{(R)}$ material shows high resistivity and induction as the result of engineered iron particles with in-organic coating. The unique features of compacted $Somaloy^{(R)}$ components can be utilized to enhance the shape and total volume of the BLDC motor with at least maintained efficiency compared to the use of traditional laminated steel sheet cores. A careful design of the $Somaloy^{(R)}$ components can also simplify assembly and positively influence the coil configuration. This study shows a comparison between a typical laminated BLDC motor and a redesigned, $Somaloy^{(R)}$ based version adapted for a scroll-compressor application.

  • The purposes of this research are presenting a new business model by introducing USN/ZigBee and measuring productivity using BSC(Balanced scorecard), and becoming a cornerstone by presenting a prototype of ServiceScience which is getting more attention from Industrial Engineering and Management. The new business model consists of development of leak current monitoring sensor using USN/ZigBee and the adoption of RCM(Reliability-Centered Maintenance) using knowledge-based system at current distribution. Additionally, for the measurement of this new model's productivity, ESC is used, and the strategic map and measurement indices are produced. The main contributions of this paper are showing a concrete model of ServiceScience and demonstrating this model can be extended to similar areas like are gas, water etc.

  • High-cycle fatigue characteristics of quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates [-45/0/45/90]s up to $10^8$ cycles were investigated. To assess the fatigue behavior in the high-cycle region, fatigue tests were conducted at a frequency of 100 Hz, since it is difficult to investigate the fatigue characteristics in high-cycle at 5 Hz. Then, the damage behavior of the specimen was observed with a microscope, soft X-ray photography and a 3D ultrasonic inspection system. In this study, to evaluate quantitative characteristics of both transverse crack propagation and delamination growth in the high-cycle region, the energy release rate associated with damage growth in the width direction was calculated. Transverse crack propagation and delamination growth in the width direction were evaluated based on a modified Paris law approach. The results revealed that transverse crack propagation delayed under the test conditions of less than ${\sigma}_{max}/{\sigma}_b$ = 0.3 of the applied stress level.

  • Quality of software development project is very important In complex and large domestic soft ware markets. CMM level certification evaluates duality of software development project at present. Therefore, software development company endeavor for acquisition of CMM certification, level up CMM and organization's competitive power But, today confidentiality of CMM certification come into question, an exploratory study undertake about difference of software project quality and organization performance between CMM certificated organization and no-CMM certificated organization. Two organizations different partially. First of all, incremental improvement of software project process takes precedence of CMM certification. It is better to fit between culture of organization and CMM certification for project quality.

  • 본 논문에서는 800V 배터리 전기자동차 LDC용 낮은 스위치 전압정격을 갖는 새로운 소프트 스위칭 하프브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안하는 컨버터는 입력이 직렬구조로써 입력전압의 절반으로 낮은 스위치의 전압정격을 갖기 때문에 600V의 Si-MOSFET를 사용할 수 있어 도통손실을 줄일 수 있으며 부분공진 동작으로 스위칭 손실 저감 효과를 갖고, 넓은 입력전압 및 부하영역에서 소프트 스위칭을 성취하여 높은 효율을 달성할 수 있으며 변압기의 직렬연결로 된 커패시터로 인해 자화 전류의 오프셋이 없다. 제안하는 소프트 스위칭 컨버터의 동작원리를 제시하고 시작품을 통해 본 논문의 타당성을 검증하였다.

  • 기술이 발전함에 따라 전력변환기의 소형화 고효율화가 요구되어지고, 이를 위해 고주파 스위칭 전력변환기가 필요로 하게 된다. 하지만 스위칭 주파수와 비례적으로 스위칭 손실이 증가하기 때문에 시스템의 효율이 감소한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 DCM방식이나 공진을 이용한 ZVZCS(Zero-Voltage Zero-Currrent) 컨버터가 제안되고 있으나 소자의 정격용량이 커지는 단점을 갖는다. 또한 ZVT(Zero-Voltage Transition)를 포함한 소프트 스위칭 기법을 적용하는 다양한 컨버터가 제안되고 있으나 공진전류의 첨두에서 보조스위치가 스위칭을 하게 되어 보조스위치 스위칭 손실이 큰 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 변압기로 공진인덕터의 전압을 제한시켜 보조 스위치가 영전압/영전류 스위칭을 하게 함으로서 스위칭 손실을 발생시키지 않는 소프트 스위칭 구조를 제안한다.

  • In communication networks used in safety-critical systems such as control systems in nuclear power plants there exist three types of data traffic : urgent or asynchronous hard real-time data hard real-time periodic data and soft real-time periodic data. it is necessary to allocate a suitable bandwidth to each data traffic in order to meet their real-time constraints. This paper proposes a method to meet the real-time constraints for the three types of data traffic simultaneously under a timer-controlled token bus protocol or the IEEE 802.4 token bus protocol and verifies the validity of the presented method by an example. This paper derives the proper region of the high priority token hold time and the target token rotation time for each station within which the real-time constraints for the three types of data traffic are met, Since the scheduling of the data traffic may reduce the possibility of the abrupt increase of the network load this paper proposes a brief heuristic method to make a scheduling table to satisfy their real-time constraints.

  • A surfatron-type microwave induced plasma (MIP) cavity has been constructed, which can be easily interfaced with a gas chromatograph. Various plasma gases such as He, Ar and N2 were used to generate the MIP and small amounts of CO2 gases were injected through the MIP to obtain characteristic spectrum of each plasma gas and to study feasibility of the MIP as a soft ionization source. Since He and Ar plasmas have high metastable state energy, it was not possible to detect sample gas in molecular state. With N2 plasma, however, a strong emission of molecular ions could be detected owing to its low metastable state energy.

  • Recent years, supercapacitors have been attracting a growing attention as an efficient energy storage, due to their long-lifetime, device reliability, simple device structure and operation mechanism and, most importantly, high power density. Along with the increasing interest in flexible/stretchable electronics, the supercapacitors with compatible mechanical properties have been also required. A eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) liquid metal could be a strong candidate as a soft electrode material of the supercapacitors because of its insulating surface oxide layer for electric double layer formation. Here, we report the electrochemical study on the charging/reaction process at the interface of EGaIn liquid metal and electrolyte. Numerical fitting of the charging current curves provides the capacitance of EGaIn/insulating layer/electrolyte (${\sim}38F/m^2$). This value is two orders of magnitude higher than a capacitance of a general metal electrode/electrolyte interface.

  • This paper presents about an example of circuit design and characteristics of inverter according to the variable capacitance of the DC voltage source separation capacitor used in ZVS-HB type high frequency resonant inverter. The soft switching technology known as ZVS is used to reduce turn off loss at switching. In the event the capacitance of the DC voltage source separation capacitor is varied, the analysis of inverter circuit has generally described by using normalized parameter and operating characteristics have been evaluated in terms of switching frequency and parameters. According to the calculated characteristics value, a method of the circuit designs and operating characteristic of the inverter is also presented in this paper. In addition, this paper proves the validity of theoretical analysis through the experiment. This proposed inverter shows that it can be practically used in future as power source system for the lighting equipment of discharge lamp, DC-DC converter etc.
