The nitrogen oxides, NO and $NO_2$, abbreviated usually as NOx, emitted from combustion facilities such as power plants and automobiles are the typical air-pollutants causing acid rain and photochemical smog. In order to solve the NOx-related pollution problems effectively, we need efficient techniques to monitor NOx in the combustion exhausts and in environments. Development of solid-state electrochemical devices for detecting NOx is demonstrated based on various combination of solid electrolytes and auxiliary sensing materials. The object of this research is to develop various sensor performance for solid state amperometric sensor, and to test gas sensor performance manufactured. So we try to present a guidance for developing amperometric gas sensor. We concentrated on development of manufacturing process and performance test. Amperometric Nitrogen dioxide sensor was fabricated using NASICON and an $NaNO_2$ layer deposited on the counter electrode. The current response was almost linear with Nitrogen dioxide concentration in the range 1-350 ppb at $150^{\circ}C$.

Recently, 2-dimensional flat light sources have been attracting much attention for its use in LCD backlight applications because of its high luminous efficiency and uniformity. A long-gap discharge, mercury-tree flat fluorescent lamp has been developed, which shows a high brightness ($>5000\;cd/m^2$) and high luminous efficacy (60 lm/W). Additionally, it has a wide operating margin and stable driving condition with the aid of an auxiliary electrode. For driving the lamp, a narrow pulse power to maintain the glow discharge state is required. Since there has been no research for this kind of lamp driving, this paper proposes a newly developed short-pulse, high-voltage lamp-driving scheme. The proposed lamp system uses a ballast with a coupled-inductor in order to raise the short pulse voltage up to the lamp ignition level and to obtain energy-recovery action during the glow discharge mode. The operation principles are presented and also the system performances such as the lighting efficiency, spatial and angular uniformities are evaluated by hardware experiments. The results show that the proposed lighting system is a good candidate for the next-generation of LCD backlight systems.

In this study, the electrorheological (ER) fluid was used as finishing agent. Since the apparent viscosity can be controlled by an electric field, the ER fluid can be one of efficient materials in finishing processes. To finish small 3-dimensional structures such as the aspherical surface in optical elements, the possible arrangement of a tool, part and auxiliary electrode was described. We examined the influence of the addition of a few abrasive particles on the performance of the ER fluid by measuring yield stress and observed the behavior of abrasive particles in the ER fluid by a CCD camera, which had been also theoretically predicted from the electromechanical principles of particles. On the basis of the above results, the steady flow analysis around the rotating micro tool was performed considering the non-uniform electric field. Finally, borosilicate glass was finished using the mixture of the ER fluid and abrasive particles and material removal with field strength and surface roughness were investigated.

기존의 대지저항률과 접지저항 현장 측정 방식은 일정한 간격의 측정전극을 설치하여 전류를 인가하여 대지의 저항값에 따른 전압강하를 측정하게 되는데 현장 대지의 층상 구조가 특이성을 갖게 되면 역산 시 경계 조건의 오차를 발생하게 되고 접지 설계 시 중요한 대지저항률 분석이 시뮬레이션 상과 많은 차이를 보이게 된다. 본 연구는 정보통신 융합환경에서 아두이노 모듈과 스마트 접지 측정 기술를 활용하여 대지의 층상이 특이성을 갖는 구조라도 신뢰할 수 있는 스마트 대지 저항 측정장치를 개발하여 대지저항을 분석하고 데이터를 축적하여 대지의 경년변화를 예측한다. 현장의 지형적인 특성을 고려하여 접지저항과 대지저항 측정 시 각도와 거리를 정확하게 위치시켜 보조전극을 설치할 수 있는 접지저항 측정장치 및 측정방법을 제안한다. 정확한 접지저항 값을 선정할 수 있게 하기 위해 설치된 전극을 통해 접지저항 값뿐만 아니라, 대지저항률을 취득할 수 있어 유사지역에 전기시설물 설치 시에 유용한 자료로 활용할 수 있다. 또한 신뢰성 높은 데이터를 활용하고 현장의 대지구조를 분석하여 공사비용 뿐 아니라 접지설계에서 중요한 비중을 차지하는 대지에 대한 정밀한 분석으로 전위상승 등의 접지설비설계에서 많은 활용이 기대된다.

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells(PEFC) have been considered to be a suitable candidate for residential, portable and mobile applications, due to their high efficiency and power density, even at low operating temperature. KIER developed a 5kW class PEFC system for residential application and operated the system for over 1,000 hours. To develop a 5kW PEFC system, performance of a cell was improved through successive tests of single cell of small and large area. Fabrication of three 2,5 kW class stacks, design and fabrication of natural gas reformer, design of auxiliary equipments such as DC/DC converter, DC/AC inverter and humidifying units were carried out along with integration of components, operation and evaluation of total system. During the development period from 1999 to 2001, MEA(membrane electrode assembly) fabrication technologies, design and fabrication technologies for separators, stacking technologies and so on were developed, thereby providing basis for developing stacks of higher efficiency and power density in the future. Experience of development of natural gas reformer opened possibilities to use various kinds of fuels. Main results obtained from the development of a 5kW class PEFC system for residential application are summarized.

Heavy hydrocarbon reforming is a core technology for "Dirty energy smart". Heavy hydrocarbons are components of fossil fuels, biomass, coke oven gas and etc. Heavy hydrocarbon reforming converts the fuels into $H_2$-rich syngas. And then $H_2$-rich syngas is used for the production of electricity, synthetic fuels and petrochemicals. Energy can be used efficiently and obtained from various sources by using $H_2$-rich syngas from heavy hydrocarbon reforming. Especially, the key point of "Dirty energy smart" is using "dirty fuel" which is wasted in an inefficient way. New energy conversion laboratory of KAIST has been researched diesel reforming for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) as a part of "Dirty energy smart". Diesel is heavy hydrocarbon fuels which has higher carbon number than natural gas, kerosene and gasoline. Diesel reforming has difficulties due to the evaporation of fuels and coke formation. Nevertheless, diesel reforming technology is directly applied to "Dirty fuel" because diesel has the similar chemical properties with "Dirty fuel". On the other hand, SOFC has advantages on high efficiency and wasted heat recovery. Nippon oil Co. of Japan recently commercializes 700We class SOFC system using city gas. Considering the market situation, the development of diesel reformer has a great ripple effect. SOFC system can be applied to auxiliary power unit and distributed power generation. In addition, "Dirty energy smart" can be realized by applying diesel reforming technology to "Dirty fuel". As well as material developments, multidirectional approaches are required to reform heavy hydrocarbon fuels and use $H_2$-rich gas in SOFC. Gd doped ceria (CGO, $Ce_{1-x}Gd_xO_{2-y}$) has been researched for not only electrolyte materials but also catalysts supports. In addition, catalysts infiltrated electrode over porous $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2}O_3-{\delta}$ and catalyst deposition at three phase boundary are being investigated to improve the performance of SOFC. On the other hand, nozzle for diesel atomization and post-reforming for light-hydrocarbons removal are examples of solving material problems in multidirectional approaches. Likewise, multidirectional approaches are necessary to realize "Dirty energy smart" like reforming "Dirty fuel" for SOFC.

생체재생용 지지체는 높은 다공구조와 적당한 기계적인 강도를 필요로 한다. 높은 다중성과 적당한 다공크기는 지지체와 주변 환경 사이에 영양분의 공급을 원활하게 하여 셀의 지지체에 대한 초기 집착력과 성장을 가능하게 하는 구조를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 polycaprolactone(PCL) 나노섬유를 화학 발포제와 전기방사공정을 이용하여 다양한 조건하에서 제조하였다. PCL 용액의 농도가 8wt%, 발포제의 함량 0.5wt%, 발포온도 $100^{\circ}C$ 및 체류시간 2-3초에서 가공성 측면과 다공성 측면에서 우수한 발포된 나노섬유를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 세포의 성장성을 측정하기 위하여 인체피부세포를 셀 켤츄어링하여, 발포되지 않은 나노섬유와 비교하였다.
