This paper proposes a high step-up converter with zero-voltage transition (ZVT) cell for fuel cell electric vehicle. The proposed converter applies a ZVT cell to a dual floating output boost converter (DFOBC) so that not only the main switch but also the ZVT switch can achieve full-range soft switching. The current rating of the ZVT switch is 17% of the main switch. The proposed converter has high reliability in that no timing issue occurs. Therefore, online calculation is not required. The minimum turn-on time of the ZVT switch that guarantees soft switching at all loads and input/output voltage is obtained by analysis. In addition, the proposed DFOBC allows the use of a 650 V device even at 800 V output and has the advantage of being able to boost the voltage by 3.5 times with 0.56 duty. Planar coupled inductor with PCB winding was successfully implemented with the converter operated at 300 kHz. The 25 kW prototype achieves peak efficiency of 99% and power density of 63 kW/L.

Globally, infection prevention and social awareness have been greatly changed by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and as a result, the infection control guidelines and procedures for patients with high exposure to hospital-acquired infection are further strengthened and management and monitoring are more thorough. In order to prevent infection, sterilization should be carried out with the highest priority, and we will find a sterilization method that is low in cost, easy to install, and easy to operate, to present appropriate sterilization effects. In this study, the UV sterilizer was used to contaminate the caries bacteria with an output of 4 W and irradiation time of 60, 150, and 300 sec, and the laser was irradiated with outputs of 0.8 and 1.5 W at wavelengths of 266 and 355 nm, respectively. Ultraviolet sterilizer showed safety in infection prevention at over 150 sec, and laser showed safety in prevention at 1.5 W, 0.8 W, and 266 nm. As a result, the higher the output and the wavelength closer to 253.7 nm, the better the sterilization effect.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated the effects of Agastachis Herba water (AH-W) extract on compound 48/80-induced mast cell degranulation and histamine release in human mast cells and also anti-asthmatic effect of AH-W extract on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma in mice. Methods : Human mast cells, HMC-1 were treated with AH-W extract in the presence or absence of compound 48/80 (C48/80). Mast cell degranulation was observed by microscope, and the histamine release was measured in culture medium by ELISA. For preparation of asthmatic in vivo model, mice were sensitized (0, 7, and 14 days) with OVA and airway challenged (21, 23, 25, 27, and 29 days). AH-W extract at doses of 100 and 300 mg/kg/body weight was orally administered during OVA challenge once per a day. The levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) E, and Th1/Th2 cytokines, IFN-$\gamma$ and IL-4 were measured in the sera of mice by ELISA. The histopathological change of lung tissues was observed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining. Results : The treatment of AH-W extract significantly decreased the mast cell degranulation and histamine release in C48/80-stimulated HMC-1 cells. In addition, The administration of AH-W extract at does of 100 and 300 mg/kg significantly decreased the serum levels of OVA-specific IgE compared with those of OVA control group. In H&E and PAS staining, AH-W extract inhibited OVA-induced airway inflammation, and inflammatory cells infiltration, and also histopathological damages on lung tissues such as bronchiole epithelial desquamation, goblet cells hyperplasia, and mucin releasing. Conclusions : These results indicate that AH-W extract may improve asthmatic symptoms through mast cell stabilization and inhibiting the lung inflammation in bronchial asthma.

This paper deals with the development of an automatic design software for DC servo motor control, which provides good performance with rapid response and velocity control accuracy. In the proposed method, the design is automatically executed using Matlab, and iterative learning control algorithms are used in the design process. We applied this method to 50W, 100W, 200W, 300W, 500W, 750W, 1.8kW and 4.5kW DC servo motors which are widely used in the industry. We compare the results of the manual tuning design method with that of the automatic design method presented in this paper. From the experimental results, we can find that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the manual tuning design method.

The application of microwave technology has been investigated in the remediation of diesel-contaminated soil. The paper deals with economic assessment by means of cost analysis and degradation characteristics at different microwave powers for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in diesel contaminated soils. The soils from S Mountain around the D University were sampled. The samples were screened with 2.0 mm mesh and dried for 6 hours before the diesel was added into the dried soils. The diesel-contaminated soil (3,300 mg THP/kg soil) was prepared with diesel (S Co.). The drying process was carried out in a microwave oven, a standard household appliance with a 2,450 MHz frequency and 700 W of power. The experiments were conducted from 0 to 20 minutes as the microwave powers increased from 350W to 500W to 700W. The concentrations of TPH were analysed using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The initial concentration of TPH was 3,300 mg TPH/kg soil. The weight of contaminated soil was 200g. The concentration of TPH was decreased to 1,828 mg TPH/kg soil (44.7%), 1,347 mg TPH/kg soil (59.2%) and 1,014 mg TPH/kg soil (69.3%) at 350W, 500W and 700W for 15 minutes respectively. In addition, the curve was best fit with first order kinetics using the least-square method. The ranges of a first order rate constant k and r-square were $0.0298{\sim}0.0375min^{-1}$ and $0.9373{\sim}0.9541$ respectively.

광원별로 형광등 32W 3등을 사용한 터널과 고압나트륨 램프 100W를 사용한 터널, 그리고 저압나트륨 램프 36W와 91W를 혼용한 터널의 조도 및 휘도를 측정한 결과 조도 및 휘도의 균제도는 3 가지 광원이 모두 거의 일치하였으나, 평균 조도와 정균 휘도값에 있어서 저압나트륨 램프를 사용한 터널이 절반 수준이 되는 차이를 보였다. 또한 경제성 평가 도구인 WEELS를 이용하여 터널의 길이를 300[m], 터널 폭을 10.7[m]로 일정하게 하여 경제성을 평가한 결과, 연간 비용에 있어서 고압나트륨 100W가 비용이 가장 켰고, 그 다음이 형광등 32W 3등용, 그 다음이 저압나트륨(36W+91W)이었지만 그 값은 근소한 차이였다.

We fabricated ZnO thin film successfully by using RF magnetron sputtering and investigated its potential for being utilized as the key material of piezoelectric device with the characterization of ZnO thin film such as such as crystallinity, surface morphology, c-axis orientation, film density. In thin study, $Ar/O_2$ gas ratio is fixed 70/30, RF power 125W, working pressure 8mTorr, distance between substrate and target 70mm, but the substrate temperature is varied from room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$. The relative intensity ($I_{(002)}/I_{(100)}$) or (002) peak in ZnO thin film deposited at $300^{\circ}$ was exhibited as 94%, then its FWHM was $0.571^{\circ}C$. Also, from the surface morphology evaluated by SEM and AFM, the film deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ showed uniform particle shape and excellent surface roughness of 4.08 m. The tendency of ZnO thin film density was exhibited to be denser with increasing substrate temperature but slightly decreased at near $400^{\circ}C$.

오늘날 평판표시장치(Flat Panel Display; FPD)는 대면적화, 고정밀화를 요구하고 있으며, 이에 따라 TCO에 요구되는 사양이 점점 까다로워지고 있다. ITO의 사용량을 절감하면서 동시에 우수한 투과도와 전기전도도를 얻기 위해 산화물/금속/산화물 구조와 같이 금속층을 투명 전도막 재료 사이에 삽입한 다층구조의 투명 전도성 필름에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 산화물/금속/산화물 구조의 다층 박막은 기판상에 Antireflection 코팅으로 사용되어 왔으나 최근 투명 전극 분야에 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최적의 ZTO/Ag/ZTO 다층박막에 100, 200, $300^{\circ}C$ 열처리와 200W-300, 500, 700 eV 전자빔 조사를 실시하여 특성을 비교하여 보았다. 열처리는 $300^{\circ}C$, 전자빔조사는 200W-700 eV 일 때 가장 좋은 효과가 나타났다. 가장 좋은 두 조건을 비교했을 때 전자빔 조사의 경우 비저항 $7.25{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$, 투과도 84.2%, Figure of Merit $2.8{\times}10^{-2}[{\Omega}-1]$로 열처리에 비해 좋은 특성을 나타냄을 알수 있었다.

An exhausted heat recovery system for a small gas engine cogeneration plant was investigated. The system was designed and built in a 300 kW class cogeneration demonstrative system. The basic performance was tested depending on load variation, and installed to a field site as a bottoming heat and power supply system. The exhaust gas heat exchangers (EGHXs) in shell-and-tube type and shell-and-plate type were tested. The entire efficiency of the cogeneration system was estimated between 85 to 90% under the 100% load condition, of which trend appears higher in summer due to the less thermal loss than in winter. Power generation efficiency and thermal efficiency was measured in a range of 31~33% and 54~57%, respectively.
