현재 조선소를 비롯하여 각종 산업 전반적으로 기존의 SCR 용접기를 대체하여 용접품질이 우수한 인버터 용접기가 널리 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 기존 인버터 용접기의 전원은 Mono 타입으로 이루어져 있어 대용량 인버터 용접기의 경우 대용량 스위칭 소자가 요구되어 제조원가가 높다. 그리고 문제 발생 시 용접기의 사용이 불가능하게 된다. 개발된 단위모듈을 병렬로 연결하여 대용량 용접기를 구성하게 되면 제조원가를 절감할 수 있으며 병렬로 연결되어 단위 모듈에 문제가 발생하여도 계속적인 사용이 가능하고, 주 회로를 작은 용량으로 분산시켜 전력을 제어하므로 높은 에너지 효율을 가지게 된다. 또한 인버터 용접기의 가장 중요한 성능인 스위칭 주파수에 있어서도 기존의 인버터 용접기는 20kHz의 스위칭 주파수를 가지지만 본 기술은 낮은 전력을 병렬로 연결하여 대용량을 동시에 제어가능 하므로 약 70kHz의 고속제어가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 용량 170A단위모듈을 병렬로 연결하여 단위모듈 집적형 인버터 아크용접기 510A, 680A급의 부하테스트 실시 및 기본출력특성에 대하여 실험하였으며, GMAW에서 ${\Phi}1.6$ 솔리드 와이어를 이용하여 두께 20t의 후판 맞대기 용접에 적용실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 모든 전류영역에서의 부하특성 및 출력특성이 양호하게 나타났으며, 후판 맞대기 용접에서는 SAW에 버금가는 생산성과 용접특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

Bio-impedance measurement system(BMS) is non-invasive and easy to implement a measurement method that allows determining the water content of a patient. The measurement conditions, the hardware specifications and the configurations of BMS devices must be well chosen in order to get correct and reproducible results. BMS was then conducted for the limbs and the thoracic using a lock-in amplifier and LabView control system with a frequency range of 1kHz-100kHz. From both the measurement data and the simulation results, we verified that the parameters in the proposed equivalent model and the trend of impedance variation according to the multi-frequency of applied current source are similar to those of human body. We believe that the real-time BMS developed in this study is highly reliable and applicable to the research on the clinical characteristics of the human being's impedance.

액체 누설을 감지하는 센서를 개발하였다. 이 센서는 경보 장치를 포함하며 접착 테이프형태의 박막 센서이다. 센서는 총 4개의 층으로 구성되어 있다. 각 층의 명칭은 접착제층, 베이스 필름층, 기판 필름층, 보호 필름층이다. 감지선의 사용량을 최소화하여 기판 필름층 위에는 총 4개의 선이 있다. 전도선 3개와 저항선 1개이다. 4개의 선들은 기판 필름층에 전도성 은나노 잉크를 그라비어인쇄기를 이용하여 센싱 회로를 인쇄하였으며 이 기술의 이 센서의 가장 큰 특징이다. 누수 발생 시에 저항선과 전도선에 액체가 접촉되어 회로 상에 교차하는 내부저항의 전압 변화를 모니터링하여 누수를 감지하는 방식의 센서이다. 감지선에 전원을 양방향으로 번갈아 인가함으로써 수분의 저항 값 증가 및 양극화를 방지하였다. 그로 인해 기존의 센서에 비해 좀 더 안정적이고 정확한 감지를 할 수 있다. 설치 후 센서가 마모되거나 손상될 시 간단하게 재설치 할 수 있다는 장점도 있다. 액체 누설 후에도 별도의 건조시간이 필요하지 않다. 표면에 남아있는 액체를 제거하여 즉시 재사용하는 것이 가능하다. 액체누설 감지 시스템은 액체누설 감지 필름 센서를 포함하며, 표시부와 경고음 발생부 등 전체를 제어한다. 표시부의 누설 위치 표시 단위는 미터(m)이며 최소 0.1 m 단위까지 표시한다. 이 액체누설 감지 시스템을 이용하여 누설 위치 감지 실험 및 액체별 누설 위치 감지 실험을 진행하였다.

This paper is conducted a research of the cable and filter design considering the deep sea floor environment. The electric architecture which is being used in the subsea plant is comprised of the power supply unit of the high voltage, high-capacity drive system, long cable, and electric motor in the sea area. Conducted emission is occurred by the rapid voltage change at the moment of switching at high speed of inverter for driving motors. The more the length of the cable is lengthened, the worse the motor is influenced by transient voltage. Thus, the over voltage occurred in the drive motor was confirmed by designed wire which is considered R, L, line-to-line C, line-to-gnd C of long cable used in the subsea plant. A guide line of the subsea plant model is also suggested by using a filter to reduce conducted noise of PWM inverter drive-system.

This paper deals with a control strategy for constant output power of SSRT(Soft Switching Resonant Type) FB(Full Bridge) DC-DC converter by an improved phase shift controller. When the FB DC-DC converter for the high density and the high effect control is operated in high speed switching, the switching loss and switching stress of the switching devices are increased. So, the soft switching method, which has the phase shift control with the digital I-PD controller, must be use in order to reduce its. And the output voltage that controlled by the digital I-PD controller tracks a reference without steady state error in variable input voltage. The validity of control strategy that proposed is verified from simulation results and experimental results by the DSP(TMS320C32).

When we want to observe and record a patient's EEG in an operating room, the operation of electrosurgical unit(ESU) causes undesirable artifacts with high frequency and high voltage. These artifacts make the amplifiers of the conventional EEG system saturated and prevent the system from measuring the EEG signal. This paper describes a high-performance bipolar EEG amplifier for a CSA (compressed spectral array ) system with reduced ESU artifacts. The designed EEG amplifier uses a balanced filter to reduce the ESU artifacts, and isolates the power supply and the signal source of the preamplifier from the ground to cut off the current from the ESU to the amplifier ground. To cancel the common mode noise in high frequency, a high CMRR(common mode rejection ratio) diffferential amplifier is used. Since the developed bipolar EEG amplifier shows high gain, low noise, high CMRR, high input impedance, and low thermal drift, it is possible to observe and record more clean EEG signals in spite of ESU operation. Therefore the amplifier may be applicable to a high-fidelity CSA system.

In this paper, the effect of nonllinear distortion, caused by a high-power amplifier(HPA) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, on the receiver part is analyzed. Since the HPA, which can be modeled by a memeoryless Volterra system, distorts OFDM signals in a nonlinear fashion, the received signal at each subchannel includes the multiplicative distortion of 1-st order as well as additive nonlinear distortion of high-order. the nonlinear distortion can be viewed as a nonlinear interchannel interference (NICI) since it consists of harmonic distortions and intermodulation distortions, produced by oother subchannels affecting the subchannel of interest. In this paper, we analytically derive the variance of NICI in terms of average input power using the volterra model for HPA, and then calculate the bit-effor rate(BER) performance of an OFDM system. Also, we propose a simple method to compensate for the phase distortion in OFDM system amplified by HPA, OFDM system employing 16-QAM constellation input.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) generally consist of densely deployed sensor nodes that depend on batteries for energy. Having a large number of densely deployed sensor nodes causes energy waste and high redundancy in sensor data transmissions. The problems of power limitation and high redundancy in sensing coverage can be solved by appropriate scheduling of node activity among sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose a cellular automata based node scheduling algorithm for prolonging network lifetime with a balance of energy savings among nodes while achieving high coverage quality. Based on a cellular automata framework, we propose a new mathematical model for the node scheduling algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses local interaction based on environmental state signaling for making scheduling decisions. We analyze the system behavior and derive steady states of the proposed system. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing protocols by providing energy balance with significant energy savings while maintaining sensing coverage quality.
