In order to investigate the effect of contact load, which is one of the fretting corrosion factors affecting the electric connector, a coupled fretting corrosion specimens were prepared using a tin-plated brass coupon with a thickness of $3{\mu}m$. Electric resistance of the contact was measured during the fretting corrosion test period. There was increase in resistance with fretting cycles. The change in resistance can be classified by 3 stages. The first stage exhibited low and stable resistance. Second stage showed steady increment of the resistance and third stage showed very high and intermittent resistance. The relationship between the failure cycle (Nf) and contact force (P) can be drawn as; It is possible to draw the prediction equation for the failure cycle of the electric connector corresponding to the very high and intermittent resistance under various environment conditions through the fretting tests under various conditions such as load, displacement, temperature.

Electrochemical properties of the oxygen electrode in phosphoric acid fuel cell have been studied using AC impedance method as a function of applied potential, operating temperature and teflon content in the electrode. The oxygen electrode reaction in the $105wt.\%$ phosphoric acid is characterized by a parallel resistive component, $R_p$ and a capacitive component, $C_p$ with serial electrolyte resistance, $R_s$. The conductivity of the phosphoric acid is found to be 0.31-0.47 S/cm in the range of $130\;to\;190^{\circ}C$ from the measured impedance. The increase of applied potential and temperature produced the decreased RP and the increased $C_p$, which means the increase of the oxygen electrode reaction rate. The single cells with the cathode of various teflon contents were tested, and the cathode with $40wt.\%$ teflon showed good performance, which is considered to be related to an optimized impedance behavior.

This paper introduces an energy harvesting system that generates energy by collecting multi-band RF signals using buck-boost DC-DC converter. In an environment where the resistance of load using the collected electric energy is constantly changing, a buck-boost DC-DC converter is used in which the input resistance of the DC-DC converter does not change even if the load resistance changes. Since the frequency band of the input RF signal varies, the rectifier is designed for each band so that multiple bands can be processed, and a matching circuit is added to each band in front of the rectifier. For a rectifier to collect very small RF signals, a circuit is designed so that a constant voltage is obtained according to a very small input signal by devising a method of continuously accumulating the voltages collected and generated in each band. It is confirmed that the output efficiency can reach up to 20% even for the RF signal having the input of -20 dBm.

Most fluid machines can be considered as periodic noise sources when operated under constant conditions, which allows for a frequency domain representation of the source and the associated acoustic field In the duct. In such a representation, the source is characterized by frequency-dependent values of both strength and impedance. Although knowledge of these values can be gained by either experimentation or by modeling, one-port acoustic characteristics of an in-duct source with high flow velocity, high temperature, and high sound level can be measured only by the multiload method using an overdetermined set of open pipes with different lengths as applied loads. However, the problem is that negative source resistances have been often measured. This paper reviews the possible causes of the problem, with reference to experimental and theoretical results, in an attempt to clarify the issue. A new interpretation is given for the violation of basic assumptions and the defect in the algorithm of multiload method. The major cause and mechanism of the problem is due to the violation of time invariance assumption of the source and the load impedance can seriously affect the final measured result of source impedance.

In this paper, a new standby-mode control method for multiple output switching-mode power-supply is suggested, which uses the control signal of the feedback compensator of the inner loop in the linear voltage regulator located at the transformer secondary side, as the load current information. Conventional method has a problem that standby mode occurs depending only on the load condition of the main controller output, which makes the other secondary side output very inaccurate by burst mode operation. The proposed method detects all the load current information and operates in burst mode only when the all of them are light load condition. Minimum of the additional components are required for the implementation of the proposed method because the load information is obtained from the existing feedback circuit of the post-stage linear regulator. In this paper, the operating principles of the proposed standby-mode circuit are presented with an numerical analysis, and are verified by 25W hardware prototype implementation.

본 논문은 새롭게 설계된 프린터에 적용될 SMPS(Switching Mode Power Supply)의 평균수명을 가속시험을 통해 단기간에 산출하고, 정상사용조건에서의 수명보증을 위한 가속수멍시험법 개발에 관한 것이다. SMPS가 온도, 습도 그리고 부하에 취약하므로 이들을 가속 스트레스로 사용하였으며, 고장시간은 SMPS의 작동 후 더 이상 전원이 공급되지 않을 때까지 걸린 시간으로 정의하였다. 시험결과 주요 고장부품은 스위치 IC와 저항이었으며 8$0^{\circ}C$에서 가속계수가 90으로 산출되었다. 또한, 정상사용조건에서의 평균수명 14년을 보증하기 위해서는 온도 8$0^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 80%RH, 부하 1.5A 그리고 전압 240V에서 10대의 시료를 500시간 시험하였을 때 고장이 하나도 발생하지 않아야 한다는 결론을 얻었다.

Higher frequency of energy transfer or at least energy conversion has to be used in order to reduce the size of inductors and capacitors required in the power supplies. Conventional PWM switching-mode power supplies have a limitation of operating frequency due to switching losses in the switching transistors and rectifier diodes. Means of reducing switching losses have been developed for high-frequency resonant amplifiers or more exactly dc/ac inverters. Because of smooth current and voltage waveforms resonant convertesrs havelower device switching losses and stresses lower electromagnetic interference(EMI) and lower noise than PWM converters. Therefore in this paper design equations of Classs E resonant low dv/dt rectifier with a series resonant capacitor drived using Fourier series techniques. The theory is compared with simulation results obtained for the rectifier operating at 10[MHz] ac input and 5[V] coutput.
