Until recent years, most of the researches for motor drives focus on the high performance drive of the three phase induction motor, and that of the single phase induction motor(SPIM) is out of interest. The SPIM is widely used at low power level because it has the simple construction and economic advantage. In general such machine has both main winding and auxiliary winding. Conventionally, these winding are fed by only one single phase source, and the speed of the motor is not controlled. The SPIM with an auxiliary winding can be treated as an asymmetrical two phase machine. In this paper the space vector Equivalent circuit of SPIM is derived. For vector control of the SPIM the stator current must be decoupled into the flux producing component and the torque producing component. To accomplish decoupling control, the conventional method requires complex calculation and large computation time. We proposed the equivalent circuit referred to the rotor side, in this case only the stator resistances in the direct axis and the quadrature axis are different each other and the other parameters are represented to be equal. Thus the decoupling of the stator current is similar to that of the three phase induction motor. In this paper, the novel vector control system of the single phase induction motor is proposed. To verify the feasibility of this scheme, simulation and experimentation are carried out. The results prove the excellent characteristics for the dynamic response, which confirms the validity of the proposed system.

The trend of the regulations on environmental issues are getting tight. Responding to this trend new technologies such as moving electrodes, wide pitch and pulsed power supply are also introduced in the electrostatic precipitator(EP) systems. The introduction of wide pitch and moving electrodes enhances the system performance of the EPs by improving air-flow and by improving the ash reentrainment on rapping. The power supplies for the EPs developed up to date include thyristor-based dc or intermittent type, SMPS(switching mode power supply) type and the pulsed-power supply type. The use of the pulsed ones is known to improve dust-collecting efficiency of high resistivity ash and reduces back corona occurrence in the collecting plate. There are two kinds of pulsed-power supplies; one with pulsed transformers and the other with direct dc switching devices. The latter uses rotary spark gap switches or semiconductor switches. Both have the merits and demerits: the spark gap switches are simple and robust but has short life time, hence, high maintenance cost, whereas the semiconductor switches have long life time but are costly. In this study, A high voltage power supply with superimposing voltage pulse on dc source was developed for EPs. This study describes circuit topology, operating principle of the scheme, and analysis of experimental results on Dong-Hae Power Plant. The pulsed power supply consists of a variable dc power supply with ratings of 60kV, 800mA and pulse generator which is made of high voltage thyristor-diode switch strings, an LC resonant tank and a blocking inductor. The pulse generator generates variable pulse-voltage up to 70kV using a high frequency resonant inverter with a variable dc source. Two prototypes were built and tested on 250MW DongHae power plant to verify the possibility of the commercial use and the normal operation in the transient states.

High temperature superconductor (HTS) winding coil is one of the key component in superconducting device fabrication. Double-pancake style coils are widely used for such application. High resistance between pancake coils greatly affects the machine design, operating condition and thus the stability. In order to reduce such resistance, experimentalists are looking for efficient and damage free coil connecting methods. In this respect, here we proposed parallel joining method to connect the coils. This is to do crossly joining with HTS tapes on two parallel HTS tapes. Joint samples between two parallel HTS tapes were prepared by using HTS tapes and current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curves were investigated at liquid nitrogen temperature i.e., 77.3 K. A 20 cm length joint connected between two parallel HTS tapes shows $32.5n{\Omega}$, for currents up to 250 A. A small HTS magnet, having two double pancake sub-coils connected together through new parallel joint method was fabricated and their current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curve was investigated. At 77.3K, critical current(Ic) of 97 A and resistance of $55n{\Omega}$ for currents upto 130 A were measured. At operating current 86 A lower than Ic, Joule heats generated in whole magnet and at joint region between sub-coils were 226 mW and 0.4 mW, respectively. Low Joule heat generation suggests that this joining method may be used to fabricate HTS magnet or windings.

In this paper, we propose novel scene change detection and key frame selection techniques, which use two feature images, i.e., DC and edge images, extracted directly from MPEG compressed video. For fast edge image extraction. we suggest to utilize 5 lower AC coefficients of each DCT. Based on this scheme, we present another edge image extraction technique using AC prediction. Although the former is superior to the latter in terms of visual quality, both methods all can extract important edge features well. Simulation results indicate that scene changes such as cut. fades, and dissolves can be correctly detected by using the edge energy diagram obtained from edge images and histograms from DC images. In addition. we find that our edge images are comparable to those obtained in the spatial domain while keeping much lower computational cost. And based on HVS, a key frame of each scene can also be selected. In comparison with an existing method using optical flow. our scheme can select semantic key frames because we only use the above edge and DC images.

STS316L had been used as the structural material for energy environmental facilities, because austenite stainless steels like 316L have superior mechanical properties of which toughness, ductility, corrosion resistant and etc. However, those welded structures are receiving severe damage due to increasing of the aged degradation. Most studies until now have been carried out against fatigue behaviors of weldments, and were not well studied on nondestructive evaluation methods. In this study, the fatigue crack propagation behavior of STS316L weldment usually used for vessels of the nuclear power plant was investigated. Also, the degradation characteristics of 316L stainless steel weldments were evaluated by the ultrasonic parameter such as ultrasonic velocity, attenuation factor and time-frequency analysis. The results of this study can be used as a basic data for the prediction of the fatigue crack life of weldments structures without disjointing or stopping service of structures in service.

The emerging notion of data stream has brought many new challenges to the research communities as a consequence of its conceptual difference with conventional concepts of just data. One typical example is data stream processing in sensor networks. The range of data processing considerations in a sensor network is very wide, from physical resource restrictions such as bandwidth, energy, and memory to the peculiarities of query processing including continuous and specific types of queries. In this paper, as one of the physical constraints in data stream processing, we consider the problem of limited memory and propose a new scheme for data stream reduction based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique. PCA can transform a number of (possibly) correlated variables into a (smaller) number of uncorrelated variables. We adapt PCA for the data stream of a sensor network assuming the cooperation of a query engine (or application) with a network base station. Our method exploits the spatio-temporal correlation among multiple measurements from different sensors. Finally, we present a new framework for data processing and describe a number of experiments under this framework. We compare our scheme with the wavelet transform and observe the effect of time stamps on the compression ratio. We report on some of the results.

It has been well recognized that a long term service at elevated temperature of $350^{\circ}C{\sim}550^{\circ}C$ induces embrittlement damage due to carbide precipitation and/or P, Sb and Sn segregation at grain boundaries and thereby deteriorates the grain boundary strength of heat resisting components in the energy-related plants. Therefore, it is very important to assess quantitatively the extent of embrittlement damage of heat resisting components to secure the reliable and efficient service condition and to prevent brittle failure in service. However, because fracture tests are limited in size and number of specimen obtained from the structural components, nondestructive test method is required. In this study, the optimum electrochemical parameters are investigated and discussed to evaluate nondestructive embrittlement damage for aged 2.25Cr-1Mo steels by means of electrochemical polarization test method (ECPTM) in proper corrosive environment. In addition, the electrochemical test results are compared with embrittlement degree evaluated by semi-nondestructive SP test.

Recently, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), one of the solar cells, has been widely investigated. Studies on DSSCs can be classified into 4 fields such as $TiO_2$ nanocrystalline materials, dyes, electrolytes and conductive plate. In this work, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles for dye adsorption were synthesized, and added into the photo-electrode paste with different phosphor types and contents. Then, the influence of phosphor additives on the conversion efficiency of DSSCs was investigated. It was found that the maximum conversion efficiency was 8.81% when 0.5% of YAG phospher having the particle size of 400 nm was used.

최근 그래핀의 대면적 합성 및 롤투롤 전사 공정의 개발로 그래핀의 상용화가 가시화 되고 있다. 하지만, 그래핀의 독특한 특성인 선형적이고 밴드갭이 없는 에너지 띠 분포 때문에 반도체 소자로서의 직접적인 적용에는 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 돌파구로써, 그래핀 복합체의 연구와 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 본 연구에서는 그래핀 복합 적층 구조를 다룬다. 이는 디스플레이, 초고속 반도체 소자, 고성능 광전자소자 및 초고감도 센서 등 다양한 분야에 대한 그래핀의 실용화 가능성이 높아진 것을 의미한다. 특히, 높은 가시광 투과도와 낮은 면저항으로 기존 투명 전극에 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)를 그래핀으로 대체하는 것에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 그래핀이 높은 전자이동도를 가지는 것에 비하여 비저항과 투과도 측면에 있어서는 ITO의 성능을 뛰어넘지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ITO가 가지는 취약점인 기판과의 약한 접착력, 높은 취성, 기판과의 열팽창률 차이 등의 공정상 문제점을 극복하고자 하였다. 그래핀 복합 적층 필름은 플라스틱 기판 (PET) 위에 열 화학기상증착법(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)을 이용하여 합성한 그래핀을 전사하고, ITO 용액을 도포한 다음 다시 그래핀을 씌워 제작하여 샌드위치 구조(sandwich structure)를 형성하였다. 완성된 필름은 광학적, 전기적 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 광학적 분석으로는 라만 분광을 이용한 그래핀 품질평가와 파장대에 따른 광 투과도, 그리고 반사도 측정을 하였으며, 전기적 특성은 면저항을 측정함으로써 분석한다. 결함이 적고, 대면적에 걸쳐 한 층을 이루어야 하는 고품질 그래핀의 요구사항에 따라 라만 분광의 G, 2D, D 띠를 분석하였다. G와 2D 띠의 비율을 통해 그래핀의 층 수를, D 띠의 강도를 통해 결함의 유무를 판단하였다. 또한, 가시광 영역에서 90% 이상의 광 투과도를 보여야 하는 투명 소자의 요구사항 달성 정도를 UV-VIS를 이용하여 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 제작한 필름의 면저항 또한 4-프로브 멀티미터를 이용하여 측정하고, 일반적인 터치스크린의 면저항인 $500{\Omega}/sq$를 만족하는지 평가하였다.

희토류 이온이 첨가된 형광체는 조명, 정보 디스플레이, 태양 에너지 변환 소자에 응용 가능하기 때문에 상당한 주목을 받고 있다. 특히, 결정 입자의 형상과 크기는 산업체 응용에 있어서 중요한 변수 중의 하나이다. 구형의 형광체 입자는 형광층의 광학 및 기하학적 구조를 최적화 시킬 수 있고, 결정 입자의 크기는 양질의 코팅을 위해 필요한 결정 입자의 양에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는, $YVO_4$ 모체 결정에 Eu 이온의 농도를 선택적으로 주입하여 발광 효율이 높은 적색 형광체를 합성하고자 한다. 형광체 분말 시료는 활성체인 Eu의 함량을 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mol로 변화시키면서 고상 반응법을 사용하여 합성하였다. 볼밀링 작업을 수행한 후에, 60$^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 건조하였고, 잘게 갈아서 체로 걸러낸 다음에 세라믹 도가니에 넣고 전기로에서 서서히 온도를 승온시켜 500$^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 동안 하소를 실시한 후에 1,100$^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 소결하였다. Eu 이온의 함량비를 변화시켜 합성한 $YVO_4$ : Eu 형광체 분말 시료의 발광 세기의 변화, 결정 구조와 표면 형상을 각각 PL과 PLE, XRD, FE-SEM 장치를 사용하여 측정한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, Eu 이온의 비가 0.15 mol일때 발광 세기가 최대값을 나타냄을 알 수 있었으며, 더욱 Eu의 함량을 증가시키자 농도 억제 현상에 의하여 발광 세기는 급격히 감소함을 보였다. SEM으로 촬영한 결정 입자의 형상의 경우에, Eu 이온의 함량비가 증가함에 따라 결정 입자들이 더욱 조밀하게 구형에 가까운 형상을 나타냄을 관측할 수 있었다(Fig. 1). 형광체 분말의 형광 스펙트럼의 경우에, 619 nm에 주 피크를 갖는 적색 형광 스펙트럼들이 관측되었으며, Eu 이온의 함량비에 따라 형광 세기는 상당한 의존성을 나타내었다(Fig. 2). Eu 함량에 따른 결정입자의 크기, 형광 세기와 회절 피크의 반치폭 사이의 상관 관계를 제시하고자 한다.
