This paper proposes a new phase-shift full-bridge DC-DC converter by applying energy recovery circuits to a conventional full-bridge DC-DC converter in plasma display panel applications. The converter can achieve soft-switching in main-switches by an extra auxiliary resonant network even with the wide operating condition of both output load and input voltage. The un-coupled design guidelines to the main bridge-leg component parameters for soft-switching operation contribute to conduction loss reduction in the transformer primary side leading to efficiency improvement. The auxiliary switches in the resonant network also operate in zero-current switching. This paper analyzes the operation modes of the proposed scheme and presents the key design guidelines through steady state analysis. Also, the paper verifies the validity of the circuits by hardware experiments with a 1kW DC/DC converter prototype.

A microdialysis coupled flow injection amperometric biosensor was calibrated to measure the concentration of glucose using 7 standard samples from 10ml to 70ml of glucose solution. The output of the sensor increased linearly with an increase in the glucose concentration with an $R^2$ correlation of 0.99. The amperometric biosensor was then applied to measure the. glucose concentration of 2 commercial samples(Orange and Pineapple juice) and the results compared with HPLC. Around 12% error was observed in glucose concentration measurements of the samples analyzed. The sensor has potential in rapid measurement once the calibration is done. Potential for on-line sensing is also discussed.

The emerging applications such as reliable back-up power system and renewable energy call for high boost U-n converter. The conventional topologies to get high output voltage are using flyback circuit, cascade converters, and coupled inductor DC-DC converter. They have the stress and loss related to the leakage energy which results in low efficiency Tn this paper, novel high boost converter is presented. It has a structure of cascade boost converter but only one switch. Therefore, drive circuit is simple and extreme duty ratio is eliminated. To verify the proposed circuit, theoretical analysis and experimental results has been done using a prototype power supply.

This paper proposed a transfer function of a frequency-controlled resonant inverter for output power control. The inverter is modeled as an equivalent circuit by using Phasor transformation. A transfer function is derived from the equivalent circuit which contains cross-coupled nonlinear parts. By simulation of the circuit, the transfer function can be approximated as a linear first-order function. The proposed transfer function is verified through comparison of experimental and simulation results.

본 논문은 ITER의 플라즈마 제어를 위하여 자기적으로 결합된 초전도 PF 코일에 흐르는 전류를 제어하는 기법과 RTDS 실험결과를 분석하였다. MATLAB/SIMULINK를 이용하여 유도 결합된 4개의 초전도코일을 모델링하여 전류제어기법을 시뮬레이션하였으며, 실험은 RTDS를 이용하여 진행하였다. 각 부하전류가 전류 지령치를 추종할 때, 동시다발적으로 발생하는 상호 인덕턴스와 전류 극성변화의 영향을 MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) 시스템 기반으로 하여 각 초전도코일의 전압변화 특성을 해석하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 MIMO 시스템 특성의 유도 결합된 초전도코일의 전류제어 특성을 검증하였다.

This article presents an integrated modeling approach for coupled analysis of heat transfer and microstructure evolution in welding carbon steel. The modeling procedure utilizes commercial [mite element code ABAQUS/Standard as the platform for solving the equation of heat conduction. User subroutines that implement computational thermodynamics and kinetics models are integrated with the FEA code to compute the transient microstructure evolution. In this study, the integrated models are applied to simulate the hot-tap repair welding of carbon steel pipeline. Microstructural components are treated as user output variables. Based on the predicted microstructure and cooling rates, hardness distributions in the welds were also predicted. The predicted microstructure and hardness distribution were found in good agreement with metallographic examinations and hardness measurements. This study demonstrates the applicability of computational models for the development of welding procedure for in-service pipeline repair.

It is well understood that force reflecting coupled with visual display can be an important two-way communication channel in human-computer interaction. In this work, important components for a high-fidelity system bandwidth are force reflecting device and that all the computations including contact determination and response computation have to be performed in less than a millisecond. This paper describes a force-reflecting device and an embedded controller. The realized force-reflecting device is based on a novel serial type mechanical structure, and features compactness, high sustained output force capability, low friction, zero backlash, and enough workspace. The embedded controller reduces software computational load via main processor and simplifies hardware strictures by the time-division control. The device is integrated with existing dynamic simulation algorithms running separate workstation, so that objects can be manipulated in real time and the corresponding forces felt back by the operator.

Gate and data drivers are essential for driving active matrix display. In this study, we integrate drivers with a-Si:H to develop a compact, better reliability and cost effective display. We design and fabricate drivers with conventional a-Si:H thin film transistors (TFTs). The output voltages are investigated according to the input voltage, temperature and operation time. Based on these studies, we propose here a new driver to prevent gate line from the floated state. For the external coupled voltage fluctuation, the proposed driver shows better stability.

The channel of the superconducting Flux Flow Transistor has been fabricated with plasma etching method using ICP. The ICP conditions were 700 W of ICP power, 150 W of rf chuck power, 5 mTorr of the pressure in chamber and 1:1 of Ar : Cl$_2$, respectively. The channel etched by plasma gas showed superconducting characteristics of over 77 K and superior surface morphology. The critical current of SFFT was altered by varying the external applied current. As the external applied current increased from 0 to 12 mA, the critical current decreased from 28 to 22 mA. Then the obtained r$\sub$m/ values were smaller than 0.1Ω at a bias current of 40 mA. The current gain was about 0.5. Output resistance was below 0.2 Ω.

The main concern for a displacement measurement is the performance of a sensor such as speed, resolution, accuracy and so on. The mainly used sensors are a linear CCD(charge coupled device) and a PSD(position sensitive detection) as a non-contact type. The output value of a linear CCD is so sensitive to a temperature change that it needs a cooling device. Additionally, because of its structural problem, there are some limits in resolution and speed, and it needs a complex image processing algorithm. Also, PSD has some disadvantages like sensitivity to environmental lights and nonlinearities. Like this, a linear CCD and PSD have their own characteristics and if we know them well, we can choose the one of the two sensors properly in some applications according to purposes. In this paper, I performed which one is superior to the other among the two sensors in terms of accuracy, resolution, measurement speed, signal to noise ratio.
