X-ray or ${\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy systems are widely used for analyzing material characteristics. Pile-up pulses are very often encountered for several reasons in XRF systems. Thus, it is necessary to reject or recover pile-up pulses to accurately analyze the material under test. In this paper, a pile up pulse rejection and recovery method is presented for XRF systems using trapezoidal pulse shaping of the input signals. Since the proposed method is based on the trapezoidal pulse shaping method widely-used in XRF systems, only two counters and a few registers are needed to implement the additional function of pile-up pulse rejection and recovery. Consequently, the proposed system is much simpler than conventional pulse reconstruction systems. It is shown that the proposed method can detect and reject pile-up pulses exactly. It is also shown that the pile-up pulses can be recovered if some conditions are satisfied.

In order to lower the write voltage in the AC type plasma display panel, a superposed scan waveform in which the scan electrodes are overlapped is proposed and the characteristics of the write discharge are studied. The discharge occurs in the selected cell when the scan and write pulses are simultaneously applied during the write period. In general, when the write voltage is lowered, the delay time of the discharge becomes longer, so that the width of pulse applied during the write period must be increased. However, since the TV frame time is limited, the width of the write pulse can not be extended indefinitely. On the other hand, since the pulses applied to the scan electrodes are sequentially applied with the scanning lines, the widths of the pulses can be superposed and extended. That is, a waveform in which the widths of the write pulses are equal to the conventional time and the scan lines are superposed by extending only the widths of the scan pulses has been proposed. Due to the application of the low writing voltage, the discharge delay time will be delayed naturally, but the writing discharge stably occurs within the width of the pulse due to the width of the scan pulse and the write voltage can be lowered by about 13V than the conventional one.

The Monte Carlo simulation code CEARPPU has been developed and updated to provide pulse pile-up correction spectra for high counting rate cases. For neutron activation analysis, CEARPPU correction spectra were used in library least-squares method to give better isotopic activity results than the convention library least-squares fitting with uncorrected spectra.

In this paper, in order to obtain the detailed information about lightning electromagnetic pulses, the electromagnetic pulses radiated from intracloud discharges were measured, and their characteristics and waveform parameters were analyzed statistically. The electromagnetic pulses produced by intracloud discharges are distinctly different with those by lightning return strokes. The zero-crossing times and the full pulse widths of the large bipolar electromagnetic pulses are gradually decreased as the stroke proceeds. Also, the electromagnetic pulses tend to be bipolar, with narrow and fast leader pulses superimposed on the initial half cycle. The mean numbers of leader pulses superimposed on the initial half cycle were 1.61$\pm$0.74 and 1.75$\pm$0.73 for the positive and negative polarities, respectively.

Because aluminum has a lighter weight and higher strength than iron, it is frequently used in the transportation industry for the purpose of reducing the weight of a chassis, and thereby increasing fuel efficiency. However, there are some difficulties with arc welding aluminum due to its lower melting point, high thermal conductivity and oxidation coating on its surface. This study proposed using superposition ac pulse MIG arc welding, which has been improved from the pulse waveform of conventional MIG welding. A MIG arc welding power source was developed to test the effectiveness of this method.

This study proposes a theoretical methodology for deriving a rainfall intensity-duration- frequency (I-D-F) curve using a simple rectangular pulses Poisson process model. As the I-D-F curve derived by considering the model structure is dependent on the rainfall model parameters estimated using the observed first and second order statistics, it becomes less sensitive to the unusual rainfall events than that derided using the annual maxima rainfall series. This study has been applied to the rainfall data at Seoul and Inchon stations to check its applicability by comparing the two I-D-F carves from the model and the data. The results obtained are as followed. (1) As the duration becomes longer, the overlap probability increases significantly. However, its contribution to the rainfall intensity decreases a little. (2) When considering the overlap of each rainfall event, especially for large duration and return period, we could see obvious increases of rainfall intensity. This result is normal as the rainfall intensity is calculated by considering both the overlap probability and return period. Also, the overlap effect for Seoul station is fecund much higher than that for Inchon station, which is mainly due to the different overlap probabilities calculated using different rainfall model parameter sets. (3) As the rectangular pulses Poisson processes model used in this study cannot consider the clustering characteristics of rainfall, the derived I-D-F curves show less rainfall intensities than those from the annual maxima series. However, overall pattern of both I-D-F curves are found very similar, and the difference is believed to be overcome by use of a rainfall model with the clustering consideration.

At the most recent years, laser medical instruments, laser applications and laser nuclear fusion need strong visible light and ultraviolet rays. Nonlinear optical devices, such as harmonic generators and parametric oscillators, provide a means of extending the frequency range of available laser sources. Frequency conversion is a useful technique for extending the utility of high-power lasers. It utilizes the nonlinear optical response of an optical medium in intense radiation fields to generate new frequencies. These progresses have been used to generate high-power radiation in all spectral regions, from the ultraviolet to the far infrared. Optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers generate two waves of lower frequency They are capable of generating a range of wavelengths from a single frequency source, in some cases spanning the entire visible and near infrared regions. Consequently, in order to obtain the green light, the pulsed Nd:YAG laser using multiple-mesh PFN(Pulsed Forming Network) method with Nonlinear optical device was adopted. We compared the current pulseshapes with the laser output energy, and conversion efficiency.

Full-HD 구현이 가능하고, 패널 전체에 priming 방전을 동시에 일으킬 수 있는 새로운 고속구동법인 표시기간 중첩 프라이밍 방전 기술의 초기화 펄스 특성을 연구하였다. ramp 펄스를 이용한 약방전으로 초기화 방전을 일으킬 경우 램프 기울기가 작아질 수록 불필요한 광을 줄일 수 있어 명암비가 높아지므로 프라이밍 펄스폭을 증가시키는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 본 논문에서는 ramp의 기울기를 변화시키며 안정적인 표시방전이 유지되는 ramp 펄스폭을 실험을 통해 확인하였고, 그 결과 $200{\mu}s$(ramp 기울기 $1.45V/{\mu}s$)의 ramp 펄스폭에서도 표시방전이 안정적으로 발생한다는 것을 알았다.
