In this study, we propose a non-contact circular eddy current load brake using permanent magnet that can be applied to the rehabilitation exercise equipment. The circular eddy current load brake is manufactured and is evaluated for performance. This has the torque value of 49% compared to a "ㄷ" type eddy current load brake having a fixed load. And we confirmed that load is regulated due to the conductivity and air gap. Proposed load brake is adjustable according to the user's condition and can be applied to the equipment having advantages such as miniaturization and cost reduction.

An internal antenna which has 1 cc volume was implemented on the FPCB(Flexible Printed Circuit Board) for the mobile phone. We increased antenna gain and efficiency by the applying of current direction concept on the antenna pattern for this small antenna. Short antenna length for the GSM band was compensated by the spiral inductor on the FPCB. For broadening bandwidth on GSM band, it's applied 2 spiral inductors. A conductor pattern for the DCS band was positioned perpendicular with the FPCB. Antenna was implemented on FPCB that is dielectric constant 4.4 and thickness 0.05 mm, and FPCB was attached on a carrier dimensioned $L{\times}W{\times}H=30{\times}7{\times}5\;mm$. Measurements showed that max. VSWR 2:1, efficiency 42.49~60.95 % and 47.95~73.21 %, average gain -3.72~-2.15 dBi and -3.19~-1.35 dBi on the GSM and DCS band, respectively. These results are good performances among the small antenna. And the radiation patterns are omnidirectional on the H-plane to both band.

금속탐지 센서는 공항, 접경지역 같은 다양한 보안 분야 등에서 널리 사용하고 있는 센서이다. 이러한 금속탐지 센서는 홀 현상을 이용하는가, 맴돌이 전류를 색출하여 탐지하는가 등에 따라 방식이 나뉘게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 방식들 중 미세한 저항의 변화를 탐지하는 이방성 자기저항을 이용하여 다른 방식의 센서들보다 전력소보가 적고 정교한 탐지가 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 센서의 축을 늘려 더욱 넓은 원형범위에서 금속을 탐지할 수 있게 하였다.

In this paper, we propose the internal mobile antenna for TDMB and KPCS. The proposed antenna is made of different dielectric substrate and it has small size ($45{\times}8{\times}8\;mm$, about 2.8 cc) for mobile device. TDMB antenna is designed spiral structure that makes maximum current for each cell and KPCS antenna is PIFA that is usually used for internal antenna. In order to compensate length of resonance TDMB antenna has a large inductor above 100 nH. In this case, the inductor isolate KPCS signal at TDMB by cutting high frequency. Also the antenna has good isolation because TDMB radiator is parasitic element in KPCS band. We simulated the antenna by using CST microwave studio and measured performance of the antenna in anechoic chamber Proposed antenna has $-6{\sim}-14\;dBi$ gain for TDMB and $-3.5{\sim}-5\;dBi$ gain for KPCS.

The importance of coatings has been increasing for different purposes such as prevention of static electricity of auto parts or products, improvement of abrasion and corrosion resistance, and enhancement of esthetics. As a method for measuring the thickness of a coating film, a contact method with probe is commonly used. However, it is problematic that accuracy of the sensor is degraded due to sensor output distortion or load phenomenon, which is caused by a change in magnetic permeability of the core. In this study, we propose a method to reduce the measurement error of the coating film by applying the optimized circuit design and the thickness measurement algorithm to the problems caused by the nonlinear characteristics. The tests result which have been taken with different thickness coating samples show that the measurement accuracy is within ${\pm}2%$.
