This research presents the design and analysis of PCDU(Power Control & Distribution Unit) of communication satellite. The PCDU of a spacecraft must provide adequate power to each subsystem and payload during mission life, and it also needs high reliability and performance in space environment. A control circuit of the PCDU include bus sensing and filter circuits, error signal amplification circuit, error compensation circuit of SAS(Shunt Assembly Switch) and BPC(Battery Power Converter). The phase margin and DC gain for the designed circuits are analyzed through the frequency response characteristics of the compensated control circuit. And also the transfer function of the battery power converter circuit are discussed at the battery CCCM(Charge Continuous Conduction Mode) and battery C/DCCM(Continuous/Discontinuous Conduction Mode).

This paper presents the study of 3-Phase bi-directional DC to AC inverter with unity power factor. 3-Phase bi-directional DC to AC inverter is important for the bi-modal PV PCS with an energy storage system. Both Inverting and converting are needed to connect between the grid side and boost converting side to charge and discharge the energy storage system. The paper proposes the appropriate circuit topology and proper control system for the bi-directional inverter. It also proposes the method of selecting the optimum control method considering system stability. PSIM simulation is used to validate the proposed algorithm.

This paper discribes the analysis of the breakdown voltage characteristics of SOI LIGBT with dual epi-layer. In case of SOI LIGBT with dual epi-layer, if we used high doping concentration in epi-layer, we obtained higher breakdown voltage compared with typical device because of charge compensation effect, and we obtained low on-state resistivity characteristic in the same breakdown voltage. In this paper, we analyzed on-state and off-state characteristics of SOI LIGBT with dual epi-layer. Breakdown voltage of proposed LIGBT was shown 125V when $T_1=T_2=2.5{\mu}m$, $N_1=7{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$ and $N_2=3{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$, respectively Although we used high doping concentration and thin epi-layer thickness, breakdown voltage was increased compared with conventional devices.

Amorphous nickelphthalocyanine(NiPc) thin films were prepared by vacuum evaporation and their electrochromic behavior and voltammograms were examined in the five kinds of aqueous electrolytes. Amorphous NiPc films were prepared on indium-tin-oxide(ITO) glass substrates cooled to-$120^{\circ}C$ by using liquid nitrogen under a vacuum of $2.4 \times 10^{-4}$. The voltammetric and electrochromic measurements were made using a potential galvanostat. In order to confirm the color change, optical vis-transmission spectra of the NiPc films were measured by a spectrophotometer with various electrode potential applied. The NiPc amorphous thin films exhibited most clearly electrochromism in $KNO_3$ aqueous electrolyte. The specimen films underwent 3 color transitions (from blue to yellow-green, then to red violet, then to dark blue), corresponding to the three peaks on the voltammograms in $KNO_3$ aqueous electrolyte. Blue is color of the as-prepared film. When the potential was swept, charge compensation was attained upon oxidation by injection of anions from the electrolyte and upon reduction by expulsion of anions.

The purpose of this study is to analyze performance problems in establishing and improving program educational objectives (PEO) and to set up action strategies for the civil engineering program at the A university. To fulfill the purpose, according to the typical needs analysis model, research problems were defined, current conditions and desired conditions were identified, discrepancies and their reasons were examined, and action strategies were derived. Current conditions and desired conditions were identified by analyzing the A civil engineering program's self study report, conducting surveys and interviews with constituents. After the discrepancies and the reasons were examined, performance problems and field force analysis were conducted to draw short term and long term action strategies to improve PEO. Short term action strategies were to announce PEO to current students, to hold faculty seminars to establish and to improve PEO, to renew the list of constituents regularly, to composite an annual milestone, to define roles of the committees, and to enforce educational opportunity toward industrial advisory board members. For the long term strategies, improvement and documentation of PEO assessment system, collection and analysis of constituents' suggestions, establishment of effective accreditation support system, and arrangement of compensation system for the faculties who are in charge of engineering education accreditation responsibility.

This paper presents a fast switching CMOS frequency synthesizer with a new coarse tuning method for PHS applications. To achieve the fast lock-time and the low phase noise performance, an efficient bandwidth control scheme is proposed. Charge pump up/down current mismatches are compensated with the current mismatch compensation block. Also, the proposed coarse tuning method selects the optimal tuning capacitances of the LC-VCO to optimize the phase noise and the lock-time. The measured lock-time is about $20{\mu}s$. This chip is fabricated with $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, and the die area is $0.7mm{\times}2.1mm$. The power consumption is 54mW at 2.7V supply voltage.

In holographic data storage systems, data is recorded and read by page on a volume of storage medium, and it can increase transmission rate and storage capacity because of two-dimensional page-oriented data processing by charge-coupled devices. However, HDS suffers two-dimensional intersymbol interference unlike conventional data storages. In this paper, we propose a preprocessing method of decreasing ISI before read data in HDS pass to detector. This method has some advantage when we collaborate with the preprocessing for reducing misalignment error and modulation code.

After evaluation of stroke patients, therapy includes an exercise program that is suitable for use with stroke patients; stroke patients wear head-mounted display while in front of the computer, where the camera is located; they follow the action on the screen and the computer perceives the operation of the stroke patients according to subject accomplishment. Results: According to obstacle condition of stroke patients using the method, which is various environments after setting, in stroke patients, there is a possibility of presenting suitable therapeutic environments. The display presentation of the method, which is identical, causes difficulty for all stroke patients. According to subject accomplishment; stroke patients result in execution of repetition training and deepening study, which leads to mobility. Conclusions: The VR based rehabilitation training programs is a difference of the existing video training program, is immediate feedback and compensation method. It will provide rehabilitation training services for the family of the patient whose condition could be improved with rehabilitative therapy where it is a continuous circumstance as a matter of the social welfare facility therapy.

The effect of MnO2 addition to 0.1mol% Sb2O3-doped BaTiO3 ceramics on microstructure and PTCR characteristics was studied. The PTCR characteristics was observed when 0.01 and 0.02 wt% MnO2 were added and sintered at 132$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The characteristics can be explained by the changes in the number and size of the abnormal grain growth due to the liquid phase during sintering. when the amount of MnO2 addition was 0.03 wt%, the sample showed NTCR characteristics with room-temperature resistivity over 109 Ωm regardless of the sintering temperature. This behavior can be described by the microstructure change due to the abnormal grain growth and charge compensation effect by MnO2 added. The room-temperature resistivity was increased as the amount of MnO2 was increased. And the specific resistivity ratio (pmax/pmin) showed maximum at 0.02wt% MnO2.

If the ambient temperature rises for AC PDP, some of the discharge cells are turned off because of the misfiring during address period. Particularly, the misfiring of the 'last scan line is more serious than that of the first. In order to compensate the misfiring in such that case, different addressing voltage is applied at each cell such as progressively increasing pulse voltage instead of constant one. As a result, the addressing time and discharge charge of the last scan line have become similar to those of the first scan line and the phenomenon of misfiring has disappeared.
