본 논문에서는 자기공명 임피던스 단층촬영기(MREIT, magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography)에서 인체에 일정한 전류를 주입해주는 전류주입장치의 설계 및 성능 검증을 다루었다. MREIT는 인체에 전류를 주입하고, 주입전류에 의해 유기된 인체내부의 자속밀도 분포와 인체표면의 전압을 측정하여, 내부의 도전율 분포를 영상화하는 임피던스 영상기술이다. DSP(digital signal processor)를 기반으로 전류주입장치를 설계하였고, 극성을 가지는 펄스 형태로 전류를 주입할 수 있도록 하였다. 3.0T MREIT 시스템의 펄스열(pulse sequence)과 주입전류 파형이 동기화 되도록 제어하였고, 펄스의 폭과 크기를 변경할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 계측용 증폭기를 사용하여 주입전류에 의해 유기된 전압을 측정하였다. 이러한 모든 기능은 DSP와 직렬통신으로 연결되는 PC가 제어하며 제어용 프로그램은 현재 주입되고 있는 전류의 크기와 파형을 모니터링 할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문은 이러한 전류주입장치의 설계와 구현을 기술하며, 전해질 용액 팬텀을 사용한 실험결과를 통한 성능의 분석을 다룬다.

The electron transport properties of Y-type zigzag branched carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are of great significance for micro and nano carbon-based electronic devices and their interconnection. Based on the semi-empirical method combining tight-binding density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function, the electron transport properties between the branches of Y-type zigzag branched CNT are studied. The results show that the drain-source current of semiconducting Y-type zigzag branched CNT (8, 0)-(4, 0)-(4, 0) is cut-off and not affected by the gate voltage in a bias voltage range [-0.5 V, 0.5 V]. The current presents a nonlinear change in a bias voltage range [-1.5 V, -0.5 V] and [0.5 V, 1.5 V]. The tangent slope of the current-voltage curve can be changed by the gate voltage to realize the regulation of the current. The regulation effect under negative bias voltage is more significant. For the larger diameter semiconducting Y-type zigzag branched CNT (10, 0)-(5, 0)-(5, 0), only the value of drain-source current increases due to the larger diameter. For metallic Y-type zigzag branched CNT (12, 0)-(6, 0)-(6, 0), the drain-source current presents a linear change in a bias voltage range [-1.5 V, 1.5 V] and is symmetrical about (0, 0). The slope of current-voltage line can be changed by the gate voltage to realize the regulation of the current. For three kinds of Y-type zigzag branched CNT with different diameters and different conductivity, the current-voltage curve trend changes from decline to rise when the branch of drain-source is exchanged. The current regulation effect of semiconducting Y-type zigzag branched CNT under negative bias voltage is also more significant.

The paper presents the electrical performance measurements of a prototype nuclear battery and two types of betavoltaic cells. The electrical performance was assessed by measuring current-voltage properties (I-V) and determining the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage. With ⁶³Ni as an irradiation source, the open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current were determined as 1 V and 64 nA, respectively. The prototype consisted of 10 betavoltaic cells that were prepared using radioactive ⁶³Ni. Electroplating of the radioactive ⁶³Ni on an ohmic contact (Ti-Ni) was carried out at a current density of 20 mA/㎠. Two types of betavoltaic cells were studied: with an external ⁶³Ni source and a ⁶³Ni-covered source. Under irradiation of the ⁶³Ni source with an activity of 10 mCi, the open-circuit voltage V_oc of the fabricated cells reached 151 mV and 109 mV; the short-circuit current density J_sc was measured to be 72.9 nA/cm2 and 64.6 nA/㎠, respectively. The betavoltaic cells had the fill factor of 55% and 50%, respectively.

In case of operating at Variable speed the induction motor by a frequency transformer, it will cause ripples in motor torque and considerably bad effects on the machines because the output side of the frequency transformer involves a great number of harmonics. This paper Presents the methods of decreasing torque ripples in induction motor and of improving current waveform, by means of forming the waveforms of output current into multi-step waveforms similiar to sinusoid, and also by means of eliminating the harmonic components maximally, in case of operating a 18-phase multi-inverter combining 3-step current source inverter.

Superconducting fault current limiter(SFCL) is expected to be introduced into electric power system in future as an effective countermeasure for the increase of the short-circuit current due to the growth of the electric power system. SFCL has a merit that the fault current can be limited by the resistance generated when a superconductor transits from a superconducting state to a normal state without additional detecting device. In this paper, we investigated the resistance variance of resistive type SFCL and the fault current limiting characteristics due to the amplitude of source voltage. We could obtain the more effective fault current limiting characteristics of SFCL as the source voltage increased.

A study on the characteristics of electric shock in fresh water due to the leakage of submerged electric facility is conducted by using a reduced scale model at a scale of 1:10 in laboratory. Electric potential as a function of distance from leakage source, type of the leakage source, magnitude of the source voltage, submerged depth and diameter of a copper rod electrode is measured. On the basis of safety standard, separation for guarantee of safety is determined by the measured potential. Also supposing that body resistance is 500［$\Omega$］, the human reaction was estimated by calculating body current for some shock duration. Thus, in this paper, the hazard of the electric shock is assessed by introducing representative safety factors, body voltage and body current due to leakage source.

In the case of analyzing electric machinery by finite element method, so far, magnetic current was selected as a driving source. But terminal voltage is a driving source in real systems, and magnetic current is varied according to variation of load conditions. Therfore, in this paper magnetic flux distribution of linear induction motor was analized by using kirchhoff's second law with voltage as a driving source, and magnetic current was calculated.

A phosphor-conversion white light source is demonstrated using an InGaN-based blue laser diode (LD) and a yellow-emitting phosphor excited by the blue LD. The photometric and colorimetric properties of this blue-LD-based white light source are characterized. When injection current of the LD is 100 mA, luminous flux and luminous efficiency of the white light are found to be over 5 lm and 10 lm/W, respectively. When injection current is >90 mA, luminance is estimated to be larger than 10 Mcd/$cm^2$. In addition, color characteristics of the white light such as chromaticity coordinates, a correlated color temperature, and a color rendering index are found to be quite stable as current and temperature of the LD varies. The demonstrated LD-based white light source is expected to be used in high-brightness illumination applications with good color stability.

There are several methods of speed control in induction motors. One of which is to change the frequency of source but was not used frequently because of the difficulty of frequency-change. Then, the development of frequency changer using semiconductor enables the method useful. In this paper the speed characteristics of mechanical output, secondary input torque and secondary power factor are described when the frequency of source and voltage which is proportional to the frequency of source in order to make the flux in the air gap in constant, are changed. The above characteristics are searched on the basis of the rated characteristics of the motor. Because the ratio of these is proportional to that of the secondary current or the square value of it. To get the ratio of the secondary current, a current circle diagram is introduced, and the magnitude of the ratio from this diagram is accurate and simple. Experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
