  • Electrical impedance(EIT) for the multi-phase flow visualization is an imaging modality in which the resistivity distribution of the unknown object is estimated based on the known sets of injected currents and measured voltages on the surface of the object. In this paper, an EIT reconstruction algorithm based on the extended Kalman filter(EKF) is proposed. The EIT reconstruction problem is formulated as a dynamic model which is composed of the state equation and the observation equation, and the unknown resistivity distribution is estimated recursively with the aid of the EKF. To verify the reconstruction performance of the proposed algorithm, experiments with simulated multi-phase flow are performed.

  • Data from the two bottom moorings of ADCP (acoustic doppler current profiler), coastal weather station and CTC (conductivity temperature depth) observations for 2001 were analyzed to describe the physical processes associated with upwelling off the southeast coast of Korea. Winds were favorable for upwelling during summer, but were not correlated with currents. Shoaling of isotherms toward the coast due to the baroclinic tilting of the strong East Korean Warm Current (EKWC) provided a favorable background for immediate upwelling-response of surface temperature to southerly winds. This baroclinic effect was supported by a significant inverse coherence between the upper-layer current and bottom temperature near the coast. This upwelling is similar to the Guinea Current upwelling, which is driven by remote forcing (Houghton, 1989). Persistent southward flow was observed below approximately $10^{\circ}C$ isotherm throughout the observation period.

  • 5.2" microtip field emission displays (FEDs) with high voltage applications are fabricated. Nano-structural analysis on microtips is performed for the reliable operation of FEDs. Chemical compositions on the apex of microtips are fully analyzed. A charging mechanism on spacers is simulated and experimentally confirmed with micro-images. A gas-aging mechanism is also studied with integration step of FEDs. The brightness of more than 300 $cd/m^2$ is achieved. In addition, as a new concept, 9" color carbon nanotube FEDs (CNT-FEDs) are introduced using well-aligned carbon nanotubes on glass substrates by paste squeeze and surface treatment techniques. A number of carbon nanotubes, $5-10/{\mu}m2$, are uniformly distributed over a large area. The turn-on fields of 1 $V/{\mu}m$ and field emission currents of 1.5 mA at 3 $V/{\mu}m$ are acquired. Different mechanisms between microtip FEDs and CNT-FEDs are discussed.

  • Fault current limiters (FCL) are extensively needed to suppress fault currents, especially for trunk power systems heavily connected to high voltage/large current transmission lines. Due to its ideal electrical behavior, high-temperature superconductor fault current limiter (HTSFCL) becomes one of the most important developing trends of limiters in power system. This paper describes the result of an investigation of the dielectric characteristics of turn-to-turn insulation for pancake and solenoid type reactor coil in liquid nitrogen. The influence of thickness in a variety length, on AC, DC and impulse surface flashover has been investigated. Also, the relationships between the number of turn and breakdown characteristics were clarified. The information gathered in this test series should be helpful in the design of liquid nitrogen filled DC reactor type HTSFCL.

  • In this paper, poly (N-(2-4-imidazolyl) ethyl) maleimide-alt-1-octadecene (IMI-O) polymer which can complex metal ion was used to confirm the possibility of molecular device made by Langmuir-Blodgett method. Metal/Insulator/Metal (MIM) device was fabricated for investigation of electric properties. In the ${\pi}$-A isotherm, surface pressure at collapse point was different as to the molecular weight of metal ion complexed respectively, In I-V characteristics, currents of MiM devices were different at the same voltage. It was thought that phenomena was occurred by interaction between function group and metal ion.

  • In ECR and helicon reactors for plasma processing, a high density plasma is generated in a source region which is connected to a diffusion region where the processing takes place. Large density and potential gradients can develop at the orifice of the source which drive ion currents into the diffusion region. The average ion velocity may become the order of the sound velocity. Measurements of the ion saturation current to a Langmuir probe are used as a standard method of determining the plasma density in laboratory discharges. However, the analysis becomes difficult in a steaming plasma. We have used the HAMLET plasma simulator to simulate the ion flow to a large langmuir probe in an ECR plasma. The collection surface was aligned with the Held upstream, normal to the field, and downstream. ion trajectories through the electric and magnetic fields were calculated including ion-neutral collisions. We examines the ratio of ion current density to plasma density as a function of magnetic field and pressure.

  • In order to see physical characteristics of water masses and tidal currents in Gamak Bay, some field surveys have been conducted using ADCP, Aanderaa current meter and CTD from May 17 to June 3, 2004. The northwest of the bay appeared to have a high temperature and a high salinity so that it coincided with the previous results. The distribution of temperature and salinity seemed to reflect the characteristics of water masses. At the south mouth of the bay, a northwestward-southeastward flow was dominant at the surface layer while a northeastward-southwestward flow was dominant at the bottom layer.

  • This paper proposes the algorithm for the initial pole-position estimation of a surface PM-LSM, which is carried out under the pseudo-position control with-out a pole sensor and is insensitive to the motor parameters. This algorithm is based on the principle that the initial pole-position is calculated by the reverse trigonometric-function using the two reference currents, which are informed from the speed controller. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is confirmed by the arithmetical analysis and the experiment. IPP is well estimated within a satisfied moving-distance and a shorter estimation taken-time even if large disturbance such as cogging and friction are existed.

  • Effects of nano-silver contents(15~50wt%) on screen printed-etched gate electrodes and electrical characteristics of OTFTs were investigated. As Ag contents increased, the screen-printed film was transferred exactly without spreading and obtained the densely-packed layer with a stable and excellent conductivity but, its thickness was increased and surface became rougher. It was found that the leakage current of MIM devices and off-state currents of OTFTs became larger due to poor step coverage of PVP dielectric layer on the thick and rough gate electrodes for nano-Ag inks with Ag contents more than 30wt%.
