With the continuous aging of the populations in developed countries, the medical requirements of the aged are expected to increase. In this paper, a ring-type pulse oximeter finger sensor and a 24-hour ambulatory heart rate monitoring system for the aged are presented. We also demonstrate the feasibility of extracting accurate heart rate variability measurements from photoelectric plethysmography signals gathered using a ring-type pulse oximeter sensor attached to the finger. We designed the heart rate sensor using a CPU with built-in ZigBee stack for simplicity and low power consumption. We also analyzed the various distorted signals caused by motion artifacts using a FFT, and designed an algorithm using a least squares estimator to calibrate the signals for better accuracy.

This study is designed to examine how the female body, as shown in Korean modern figure paintings, is expressed as an object for one's gaze and the meaning behind it. The study analyzed the entries displayed during the Joseon Arts Exhibitions from 1922 to 1944, for a total of 23 times. The exhibition entries are considered to be the representative sources in regards to the history of Korean modern arts. This study examined the artistic works, which portrayed the female body as an object for gaze. Literature research was conducted to look into the general background of modern society in Korea and the significance of the body as an object for gaze, and empirical study was also performed to analyze the female body in modern figure paintings. This research reveals how the bodies of modern Korean women were seen under the structure of power. It is believed that the process of criticizing and complementing the bodies of Korean women, which was distorted by Japan, may lead to an objective analysis of the aesthetic consciousness of the Korean female bodies.

This paper presents a novel three-phase current-fed Pulse Width Modulation converter with switched capacitor type resonant DC link commutation circuit operating PWM pattern strategy under a design consideration of low-pass filter, which can operate on the basis of the principle of zero current soft switching commutation. In the first place, the steady state operating principle of this converter with a new resonant DC link snubber circuit is described in connection with the equivalent operation circuit, together with the practical design procedure of the switched-capacitor type resonant DC link circuit is discussed from a theoretical viewpoint on the basis of a design example for high-power applications. The actively delayed time correction method to compensate distorted currents due to a relatively long resonant commutation time is newly implemented in the open loop control scheme so as to acquire the new optimum PWM pattern. Finally, the experiment of set-up in laboratory system of this converter is concretely demonstrated herein to confirm a zero current soft-switching commutation of this converter. The comparative evaluations between current -fed hard switching PWM and soft-switching PWM converters are carried out from a viewpoint of their PWM converter characteristics.

In the electrical equipments, there are lots of phenomena such as loosening of connectin parts, So, heat generation and oxidation growth is considered to have a possibility to cause fire. In this Paper, we were carried out to study the oxidation growth and voltage waveform of connecting parts. In case of copper and copper connection, the growing of Cu2O elongated more than the other copper alloys. According to oxidation growth, the voltage waveform is distorted. And the contact voltage and the power dissipation increased rapidly.

The urgent VAI(Vital Area Identification) method development is required since 'The Act of Physical Protection and Radiological Emergency' that is established in 2003 requires an evaluation of physical threats in nuclear facilities and an establishment of physical protection in Korea. The KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has developed the VAI methodology and VAI software called as VIPEX(Vital area Identification Package EXpert) for identifying the vital areas. This study is to demonstrate the applicability of KAERI's VAI methodology to a hypothetical facility, and to identify the importance of information of cable and piping runs when identifying the vital areas. It is necessarily needed to consider cable and piping runs to determine the accurate and realistic TEPS(Top Event Prevention Set). If the information of cable and piping runs of a nuclear power plant is not considered when determining the TEPSs, it is absolutely impossible to acquire the complete TEPSs, and the results could be distorted by missing it. The VIPEX and FTREX(Fault Tree Reliability Evaluation eXpert) properly calculate MCSs and TEPSs using the fault tree model, and provide the most cost-effective method to save the VAI and physical protection costs.

The harmonics and the DC offset in the grid can cause serious synchronization problems for grid connected inverters (GCIs) which leads not able to satisfy the IEEE 519 and p1547 standards in terms of phase and frequency variations. In order to guarantee the smooth and reliable synchronization of GCIs with the grid, Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is the crucial element. Typically, the performance of the PLL is assessed to limit the grid disturbances e.g. grid harmonics, DC Offset and voltage sag etc. To ensure the quality of GCI, the PLL should be precise in estimating the grid amplitude, frequency and phase. Therefore, in this paper a novel Robust PLL technique called Digital Lock-in Amplifier (DLA) PLL is proposed. The proposed PLL estimate the frequency variations and phase errors accurately even in the highly distorted grid voltage conditions like grid voltage harmonics, DC offsets and grid voltage sag. To verify the performance of proposed method, it is compared with other six conventional used PLLs (CCF PLL, SOGI PLL, SOGI LPF PLL, APF PLL, dqDSC PLL, MAF PLL). The comparison is done by simulations on MATLAB Simulink. Finally, the experimental results are verified with Single Phase GCI Prototype.

본 논문에서는 전압형 PWM 인버터에서의 새로운 데드 타임 보상 기법을 제안하였다. 전압형 PMW 인버터의 경우 데드 타임 영향과 스위칭 소자의 비선형적인 특성에 의해 전압 왜곡이 발생한다. 특히, 전압 왜곡은 정지 좌표계 상전류에 5차와 7차, 그리고 동기 좌표계 상전류에는 6차 고조파를 발생시킨다. 그 결과 d축 동기 PI 전류 제어기의 적분기 출력은 인버터 기본파 주파수의 6배에 해당하는 맥동을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 d축 전류 제어기의 적분기 출력 신호를 데드 타임 보상을 위한 제어 신호로 사용하였다. 제안된 방법은 실험과 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템은 높은 데이터 속도로 인해 고속 통신에 매우 좋은 방식이다. 그러나 OFDM은 멀티캐리어를 이용하기 때문에 동위상의 신호가 합쳐져 높은 PAPR(Peak to Average Power)이 발생하고, 그로 인해 비선형 증폭기를 거치면서 신호가 왜곡되는 문제점이 발생한다. Tone reservation (TR) 기법은 몇 개의 서브 채널에 임의의 tone 신호를 삽입한 후 원 신호와 결합하여 PAPR을 측정하고, 이 신호를 변경 후 다시 같은 과정을 거치면서 최종적으로 최적의 PAPR값을 갖는 tone 신호를 송신 데이터와 함께 보내는 기법이다. 또한, discrete cosine transform(DCT)은 cosine 값을 데이터에 곱해 줌으로써 위상 회전을 통해 PAPR을 저감하는 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템의 보다 효과적인 PAPR 저감을 위해 TR(Tone Reservation)과 DCT 변환 기법을 사용하였다. 그 두 가지 기법을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 비교, 분석 결과 TR 기법에 DCT를 첨가하였을 경우, PAPR 저감 성능이 각각의 성능에 비해 개선되고 또한 $10^{-5}$에서 BER 성능이 TR 기법보다 1 dB, DCT 변환보다 2 dB 정도 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

송신 전력이 비교적 높은 5 dBm인 광 펄스를 최적 펌프 전력 조건 하에서의 MSSI(Mid-Span Spectral Inversion) 보상 기법을 통해 전송할 때 다양한 주파수 첩(chirp)을 갖는 광 펄스의 전송 거리가 어느 정도 개선되는지를 다양한 전송 속도와 분산 계수에 따라 살펴보았고, 광 펄스의 주파수 첩과 Kerr효과에 의한 위상 변화의 상호 관계가 다양한 비트율에서의 광섬유 분산 계수 변화에 따라 MSSI 보상에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지를 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석해 보았다. 우선 광 펄스가 광섬유를 전파하면서 겪게 되는 자기 위상 변조에 의한 위상 변화가 광 변조 과정에서 인가된 광 펄스의 초기 첩에 의한 위상 변화와 어우러져 상쇄되는 정도가 광섬유의 분산 계수 값에 따라 달라지게 되어 MSSI 기법을 통해 광 펄스가 보상되는 정도에도 변화가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 동일한 보상 특성을 얻을 수 있는 비트율에 따른 분산 천이 광섬유의 분산 계수 값은 전송비트율 증가 비율을 k라고 하면 2$^{k}$ 의 관계로 줄어들어야 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.
