One of today's very critical and sensitive accurate accelerometer which can be used higher temperature than $200^{\circ}C$ and corrosive environment, is particularly demanded for automotive engine. Because silicon is a material of large temperature dependent coefficient, and the piezoresistors are isolated with p-n junctions, and its leakage current increase with temperature, the performance of the silicon accelerometer degrades especially after $150^{\circ}C$. In this paper, The temperature characteristic of a accelerometer using silicon on insulator (SOI) structure is studied theoretically, and compared with experimental results. The temperature coefficients of sensitivity and offset voltage (TCS and TCO) are related to some factors such as thermal residual stress, and are expressed numerically. Thermal stress analysis of the accelerometer has also been carried out with the finite-element method(FEM) simulation program ANSYS. TCS of this accelerometer can be reduced to control the impurity concentration of piezoresistors, and TCO is related to factors such as process variation and thermal residual stress on the piezoresistors. In real packaging, The avarage thermal residual stress in the center support structure was estimated at around $3.7{\times}10^4Nm^{-2}^{\circ}C^{-1}$ at sensing resistor. The simulated ${\gamma}_{pT}$ of the center support structure was smaller than one-tenth as compared with that of the surrounding support structure.

A characteristic study of chlorine dioxide generation by the electrolysis system was performed after chlorite ($ClO_2^-$) is adsorbed from sodium chlorite by a polymer ion exchange resin. A strongly basic anion exchange resin was used and a Ti plate coated with Ru and Ir was used as an electrode. Various parameters such as reaction stirring velocity, reaction temperature, chlorine dioxide product concentration, ion exchange resin content and product maker type for the adsorption quantity in the chlorite adsorption of ion exchange resin were investigated and found the ion exchange resin with the maximum adsorption quantity. A generation trend of chlorine dioxide was observed by the electrolysis system and optimum conditions on the desired value were found using response surface design of DOE (Design of Experiments). The strongly basic anion exchange resin with the maximum adsorption quantity was SAR-20 (TRILITE Gel type II) and the adsorption quantity was around 110 mg/IER (g). Observed generation optimum conditions of chlorine dioxide were constant-current (electrode area base; $A/dm^2$) and flow rate of $N_2$ gas (4.7 L/min) at the desired value of sterilization (900~1000 ppm, 1 h).

화석연료의 남용으로 지구 온난화가 심화되어 환경과 생태계변화가 가속화되고 있고, 급속한 산업의 발달과 인류 삶의 질 향상에 따른 에너지 수요가 급증하고 있는 실정에 있으며, 일본 후쿠시마 원전사태로 원자력 에너지의 위험성으로 지구 인류환경은 심각한 국면을 맞이 하고 있어 대체 에너지의 하나로 핵융합 에너지 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 핵융합 에너지 연구 개발은 우리나라에서 KSTAR가 1997년부터 건설하기 시작하여 지난 2007년에 완공되어 지금 운용 중에 있고, 국제적으로 미국, EU, 러시아, 중국, 한국, 일본 인도가 참여하는 ITER 국제 공동프로젝트가 2004년에 건설을 시작하여 프랑스 카다라쉬에 실증 플란트를 건설 중에 있다. 이러한 핵융합 반응을 위해서는 10e-7이상의 높은 진공과 1억$^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 중수소와 삼중수소가 반응하여 발생하는 플라즈마를 제어 할 필요가 있으며, 초고온의 핵융합 플라즈마를 가두고 가동시키기 위해서는 약 12Tesla이상의 고자장 마그넷이 필요하다. 현재 ITER 실증 플란트에 사용되는 고자장 마그넷은 TF (Toroidal Field)코일과 CS (Central Field)코일에 Nb3Sn 초전도선재가 핵심부품으로 사용되고 있으며 ITER프로젝트에서는 약 850톤의 Nb3Sn 초전도선재가 사용될 전망이다. 그 중에서 일본 25%, EU, 러시아와 한국이 각각 20%, 중국7%, 미국8% 할당되어 참여국 대부분은 초전도선재를 전략적으로 공급하고 있다. 초전도 선재의 크롬도금은 1~2 마이크로미터 이하의 균일하고 얇은 도금 두께와 밀착성이 우수한 품질이 요구된다. 일반적으로 크롬도금은 산업현장에서 컨베이어 벨트 방식으로 장식이나, 내식성 및 내마모성의 특성을 필요로 할 때 사용되고 있으나, 선재에 크롬도금을 릴투릴(Reel to Reel) 방식으로 적용되는 경우는 세계적으로 아주 드물다. 핵융합 마그넷의 CICC(Conduct In Cable Conduit)도체를 만들기 위해서는 초전도선재를 이용, 3(Sc 2+OFC 1)$^*3^*5^*5^*6$형태로 연선과 케이블링을 하게 되며, 초전도 선재를 연선하고 케이블링을 할 때 크롬 도금층이 박리될 가능성이 있어 크롬도금 방법과 프로세스를 특별히 고안할 필요가 있다. ITER핵융합로 마그넷의 TF코일은 높이 14m, 폭 9m 최대자장 12Tesla, 최대전류 68kA, CICC도체 직경이 40mm로서 그 초전도 조관/도체 내부에 0.82mm 직경의 Nb3Sn 초전도 선재가 약 1350가닥으로 연선과 케이블링으로 구성되어 있다. ITER 핵융합 마그넷용 초전도 선재의 크롬도금은 마그넷 권선 후 Nb3Sn 초전도물질을 형성하기 위해서 $650^{\circ}C$에서 500시간 열처리를 실시하며 열처리 시 초전도 선재의 소선들 사이에 발생할 수 있는 소착을 방지하고, 초전도 선재에서 발생하는 AC loss를 감소시키며, Quench시 발생되는 열을 쉽게 확산시킴으로써, 초전도 마그넷의 열적 안정성(Thermal Stability) 향상과 필요에 따라서 소선간 통전울 가능하게 한다. 고려제강의 자회사인 케이에이티는 크롬도금 밀착성이 우수하고 도금두께 0.1마이크로 미터 이내 제어가 가능한 얇고 균일한 도금품질을 개발하여 한국형 핵융합 실험로인 KSTAR에 65톤 전량 공급하였고, 크롬 도금된 무산소동 선재 32톤과 초전도 선재 93톤을 전량 ITER 프로젝트에 공급하고 있으며, 2013년도 상반기에는 공급을 마무리할 예정이다.

This work proposes a 12b 1kS/s 65uA 0.35um CMOS algorithmic ADC for sensor interface applications such as accelerometers and gyro sensors requiring high resolution, ultra-low power, and small size simultaneously. The proposed ADC is based on an algorithmic architecture with recycling techniques to optimize sampling rate, resolution, chip area, and power consumption. Two versions of ADCs are fabricated with a conventional open-loop sampling scheme and a closed-loop sampling scheme to investigate the effects of offset and 1/f noise during dynamic operation. Switched bias power-reduction techniques and bias circuit sharing reduce the power consumption of amplifiers in the SHA and MDAC. The current and voltage references are implemented on chip with optional of-chip voltage references for low-power SoC applications. The prototype ADC in a 0.35um 2P4M CMOS technology demonstrates a measured DNL and INL within 0.78LSB and 2.24LSB, and shows a maximum SNDR and SFDR of 60dB and 70dB in versionl, and 63dB and 75dB in version2 at 1kS/s. The versionl and version2 ADCs with an active die area of $0.78mm^2$ and $0.81mm^2$ consume 0.163mW and 0.176mW at 1kS/s and 2.5V, respectively.

In this Paper, we developed a low power type LED security light using LED lighting that substitutes a 220[V] commercial power source for a solar cell module instead of a halogen or a sodium lamp. in addition, a PWM type drive control circuit is designed to minimize the heat generation problem and the drive current of the LED drive controller. in developed system, The light efficiency measurement value is 93.6[lm/W], and a high precision temperature sensor is used inside the controller to control the heat generation of the LED lamp. In order to eliminate the high heat generated from the LED lamp, it is designed to disperse quickly into the atmosphere through the metal insertion type heat sink. The heat control range of LED lighting was $50-55[^{\circ}C]$. The luminous flux and the lighting speed of the LED security lamp were 0.5[s], and the beam diffusion angle of the LED lamp was about $110[^{\circ}C]$ by the light distribution curve based on the height of 6[m].

The solar cells of $ITO_{(n)}/Si_{(p)}$, which are ITO thin films deposited and heated on Si wafer 190[$^{\circ}C$], were fabricated by two source vaccum deposition method, and their electrical properties were investigated. Its maximum output is obtained when the com- position of the thin film consist of indium oxide 91[mole %] and thin oxide 9[mole %]. The cell characteristics can be improved by annealing but are deteriorated at temperature above 600[$^{\circ}C$] for longer than 15[min]. Also, we investigated the spectral response with short circuit current of the cells and found that the increasing of the annealing caused the peak shifted to the long wavelength region. And by experiment of the X-ray diffraction, it is shown to grow the grains of the thin film with increasment of annealing temperature. The test results from the $ITO_{(n)}/Si_{(p)}$ solar cell are as follows. short circuit current : Isc= 31 $[mW/cm^2]$ open circuit voltage : Voc= 460[mV] fill factor : FF=0.71 conversion efficiency : ${\eta}$=11[%]. under the solar energy illumination of $100[mW/cm^2]$.

Hyperthermia supplies RF high-frequency energy above 1MHz to the tumor tissue through the electrodes. And the temperature of the tumor tissue is increased to $42^{\circ}C$ or more to cause thermal necrosis. A mathematical model can be derived a human body model for absorption and transmission of electromagnetic energy in the human model and It is possible to evaluate the distribution of temperature fields in biological tissues. In this paper, we build the human model based on the adult standard model of the geometric shape of the 3D model and use the FVM code. It is assumed that Joule heat is supplied to the anatomical model to simulate the magnetic field induced by the external electrode and the temperature distribution was analyzed for 0-1,200 seconds. As a result of the simulation, it was confirmed that the transferred energy progressively penetrates from the edge of the electrode to the pulmonary tumors and from the skin surface to the subcutaneous layer.

From the cooked-rice as a raw material, activated carbons throughout a hydrothermal synthesis and vacuum soak of KOH for chemical activation were obtained. Activated carbon electrodes for electric double layer supercapacitors were prepared and electrochemical characteristics were examined. Including the specific surface area by BET method and pore size distribution by NLDFT method, physical properties of activated carbons were investigated by means of SEM, EDS, XRD, and TG analyses. Cycle voltammetry and AC-impedance measurements were conducted to confirm the electrochemical characteristics for the electrodes. From hydrothermal synthesis, $5{\sim}7{\mu}m$ diameters of spherical carbons were obtained. After the activation at $800^{\circ}C$, it was notable for the activated carbon to be the specific surface $1631.8cm^2/g$, pore size distribution in 0.9~2.1 nm, and micro-pore volume $0.6154cm^3/g$. As electrochemical characteristics of the activated carbon electrode in 6M KOH electrolyte, it was confirmed that the specific capacitances of 236, 194, and 137 F/g at the scan rate of 5, 100, and 500 mV/s respectively were exhibited and 91.2% of initial capacitance after 100,000 cycles at 200 mV/s was maintained.

The goal of this study is to implement a communication system that can monitor the status of the nacelle using the power cable itself, without the dedicated communication lines such as an UTP cable and optical fiber for the offshore wind turbine. An inductive coupling powerline communication system for a MW class offshore wind turbine was proposed and its communication performance was demonstrated. The inductive couplers was designed for operation at up to 500 A using a ferrite composite materials. Field test was carried out on the wind farms of Jeju island. Using the iperf communication test program, we have obtained more than 15 Mbps data transmission rate through the 100 m power cable that was installed between the nacelle and the bottom of the power converter. In the data transmission stability test for a week, there was no failure ever. The minimum transmission rate was 15 Mbps and the average data rate was about 20 Mbps. Next, we have installed an infrared camera inside the nacelle in order to measure the temperature distribution and variation of the nacelle. The real-time thermal image taken by the camera was successfully sent to the monitoring system without error.

This study introduces the characteristics of current-voltage (I-V) and impedance variance for $ZnO-Zn_2BiVO_6-Co_3O_4$ (ZZCo), which is sintered at $900^{\circ}C$, according to temperature changes. ZZCo varistor demonstrates dramatic improvement of non-linear coefficient, ${\alpha}=66$, with lower leakage current and higher insulating resistivity than those of ZZ ($ZnO-Zn_2BiVO_6$) from the aspect of I-V curves. While both systems are thermally stable up to $125^{\circ}C$, ZZCo represents a higher grain boundary activation energy with 1.05 eV and 0.94 eV of J-E-T and from IS & MS, respectively, than that of ZZ with 0.73 eV and 0.82 eV of J-E-T and from IS & MS, respectively, in the region above $180^{\circ}C$. It could be attributed to the formation of $V^*_o$(0.41~0.47 eV) as dominant defect in two systems, as well as the defect-induced capacitance increase from 781 pF to 1 nF in accordance with increasing temperature. On the other hand, both the grain boundary capacitances of ZZ and ZZCo are shown to decrease to 357 pF and 349 pF, respectively, while the resistances systems decreased exponentially, in accordance with increasing temperature. So, this paper suggests that the application of newly formed liquid phases as sintering additives in both $Zn_2BiVO_6$ and the ZZCo-based varistors would be helpful in developing commercialized devices such as chips, disk-type ZnO varistors in the future.
