We demonstrated that high-stability thermistors can be calibrated with an uncertainty less than 1 mK, if the error due to the heat conduction is minimized. We first investigated the effect of the self-heating of typical thermistor probes to see how accurate we need to determine the effect of self-heating. We, then, calibrated thermistors and fitted the results using various modeling equations. We found out that the heat conduction is an important factor in achieving the calibration uncertainty under 1 mK for thermistors when the diameter of the probe is as thick as 10 mm. Therefore, we controlled the room temperature within $0.5^{\circ}C$ to minimize the heat conduction error during the calibration. The calibration with an uncertainty below 1 mK was possible when the stabilization time for each calibration was long enough to obtain a good thermal equilibrium.

MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera) system is a remote sensing instrument to obtain high resolution ground image. EOS (Electro-Optic System) for MSC mainly consists of PMA (Primary Mirror Assembly), SMA (Secondary Mirror Assembly), HSTS (High Stability Telescope Structure) and DFPA (Detector Focal Plane Assembly). High performance of EOS makes it possible for MSC system to provide high resolution and high quality ground images. Temperature of the EOS needs to be controlled to be in a specific range in order not to have any thermal distortion which can cause performance degradation. It is controlled by full redundant CPU based electronics. The validity of thermistor readings can be checked because a few thermistors are installed on each control point on EOS. Various kinds of thermal control logics are used to prevent 'Single Point Failure'. Control logic has a few set of database in order not to be corrupted by SEU (Single Event Upset). Even though the thermal control logic is working automatically, it can also be monitored and controlled by ground-station operator. In this paper, various ways of thermal control logic for EOS in MSC will be presented, which include thermal control mode and logic, redundancy design and status monitoring and reporting scheme.

This paper suggest hysteretic buck converter using thermistor that can improve output ripple voltage according to temperature to improve. In case of high temperature where circuit is sensitive, it decides two comparable voltages high. And, in case of non-high temperature where circuit is stable, it decides two comparable voltages low, then it minimizes output ripple voltage. simulation result what is included in this paper describe that output ripple voltage is reduced more than 30mV by using suggested converter, and load regulation was 0.011mV/mA. Suggested circuit is suitable to power managing circuit that operate digital circuit requiring fast response and low power.

Interface effects on properties of NTC thermistors having Mn-Co-O spinel crytal structure system are analyzed by a mixing rule in case of mixed types and layered types between CuO and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ added compounds. With adding CuO and $Al_{2}O_{3}$, The compounds form completely solid solution and their resistance and B constant are changed due to the variation of conduction electrons by their ionic substitutions. The properties of mixed NTC thermistors are depended on the logarithmic mixing rule by a dispersed phase and they show slightly lower values due to the lattice mixing affect in compared with calculated values. The resistance of layered NTC thennistors is depended upon the series mixing rule containing the value of an interface layer and effected by the variation of its thickness, and it is changed rapidly to the logarithmic mixing rule by the connection between two layers with increasing the interface layer.

There are two cases of error occurrence of STT(Smart Temperature Transmitter). One is that because of unstable reference voltage, data from A/D converter is not reliable. The other is that because of change of room temperature, this change affects conversion of A/D converter. In this paper, we show algorithms be adapted to STT for reliable conversion of A/D converter through a experiment and compensation for temperature change. In a experiment, we collect data from reference voltage and ground then calculate nominal value of these at constant temperature during A/D converter initialization or at any conversion time. Algorithm for compensation for unstable reference voltage calculates a correction factor and adapts it to compensation for malfunction of A/D converter. Algorithm for compensation for variation of room temperature is come from linearization of thermistor but is adapted to zener diode, not thermistor, therefor we have less effort for compensation for temperature and have a idea that it can be adapted to A/D converter system.

An anomalous positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity (PTCR) was investigated in a ferroelectric lead-free perovskite-type compound $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ within $BaTiO_3$-based solid solution ceramics. The effect of $Nb_2O_5$ content on the electrical properties and the microstructure of (1 - x) $BaTiO_3-x\;(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ (BNT) ceramics made using a conventional mixed oxide process also has been studied. The Curie temperature was obviously increased with the increasing of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TIO_3$ content. The Nb - doped BNT ceramics (x=0.01) display low resistivity values of $10^{1{\circ}}C-10^{2{\circ}}C$ ohm.cm at room temperature and the Curie Temperature of $T_c=160^{\circ}C$.

Internal temperature oscillations of tidal periods were studied using data observed by a thermistor chain in summer of 1980 off Jukbyun on the mid-east coast of korea. The vertical stratification was well established during the observation period. The spectral energy was found to be predominant in the semidiurnal tidal band and its energy increased with depth with maximum near the bottom. The coherence in the semidiurnal band between different depths is high with a small phase difference. The results suggest the existence of the internal tide of semidiurnal period. The amplitude of internal tide was of the order of 10 m and the largest just before the disappearance of the internal tide signal.

본 연구에서는 제한된 온도 영역에서 보통 정밀 온도 측정 소자로 많이 쓰이는 NTC 써미스터를 사용하여 전압 분배 회로(voltage divider circuits)를 구성하였다. 분압 저항이 온도측정 해상도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 회로의 분압 저항을 결정하는 방법으로서 측정하고자 하는 온도 구간의 최대 온도와 최저 온도의 NTC 써미스터 저항 값을 조화평균을 사용하여 분압 저항(divider resistance)으로 사용하였다. 선택한 분압 저항이 이상적인 저항인지에 대하여 조화평균으로 계산한 분압 저항과 대조군 저항으로 전압 분배 회로를 병렬로 구성하였다. 센서들을 항온조 넣어 설정온도($50^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$)에서 각각의 온도를 측정한 후 측정 데이터의 표준편차를 구하여 평균 온도 분해능을 비교 하는 실험을 하였다. 실험결과 측정온도 구간의 최대 온도와 최소 온도에서의 NTC 써미스터 저항 값을 조화평균으로 계산한 분압 저항 값이 대조군 저항에 비해 설정온도에서 보다 높은 평균 온도 분해능(sensing resolution)을 보였다.

Negative-temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors based on nickel manganite spinel ($NiMn_2O_4$) are widely used for many applications, such as sensors and temperature compensators, due to their good thermistor characteristics and stabilities. However, to achieve thermistors with a high NTC B constant, which is an important figure of merit pertaining to the degree of temperature sensitivity, the activation energy should be high such that high resistivity at ambient temperatures results. To obtain a high B constant and low resistivity, Al and Si modified spinel structured $Ni_{0.6}Si_{0.2}Al_{0.6}Mn_{1.6}O_4$ hybrid thick films with the conducting metal oxide of $LaNiO_3$ were fabricated on a glass substrate by aerosol deposition at room temperature (RT). The NTC-$LaNiO_3$ hybrid thick films showed resistivity as low as < $100k{\Omega}\;cm$ at $90^{\circ}C$, which is one or two orders of magnitude lower than that of the monolithic NTC films, while retaining a high B constant of $NiMn_2O_4$ of over 5500 K when 20 wt% $LaNiO_3$ was added without a post-thermal treatment. These phenomena are explained by the percolation threshold mechanism.
