The proposed method offers an improved control method for high power density AC/DC adapter by using more energy efficient electrical equipments. Power factor corrector (PFC) topology is based on boost topology with boundary conduction mode (BCM). DC/DC topology is based on half-bridge topology with newly introduced off-time control method, which helps to reduce size of the semiconductor and the magnetic devices. Test results with 85W AC/DC adapter (18.5V/4.6A) design shows that the measured efficiency is 90% with power density of $36W/in^3$. It also show low no load power consumption of about 0.5W.

The 6063 Aluminium alloy were electrocolored and anodized at the same time in addition of $CoSO_4$, $FeSO_4$, in the electrolyte and investigated by AES/SAM. It was found that the thickness of anodic oxide film is increased linearly in DC type, and DC combined AC type, the more ratio of anodic Portion in AC, the more increased of anodic film thickness. The color of anodic film was changed from silver to yellow when the increase of the ratio of cathodic portion in AC. Also the increase of $CoSO_4$, $FeSO_4$ in the electrolyte, the coloring time is decreased. From the AES/SAM results, the element of anodic oxide film are Al,O and S. The result of depth profile, the most of the S distributed on the surface and the more S is in DC combined AC type than only DC type.

본 논문은 전류 평형을 이용한 듀얼 모듈 스위치 모드 AC 라인 트랜스포머를 제안한다. 종래의 PFC DC/DC 컨버터로 구성된 어댑터의 경우 용량이 증가할수록 사이즈가 커지는 한계가 존재했다. 스위치 모드 라인 트랜스포코(Switch Mode Line Transformer, SMLT)는 어댑터의 소형화는 가능하지만, 대용량 어댑터에 적용할 경우 큰 공진전류로 인해 소자의 부피 저감에는 한계가 존재한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 전류 평형 듀얼 모듈 스위치 모드 AC 라인 트랜스포코는 각 모듈의 트랜스포머 구조를 통해 중소용량의 SMLT 모듈의 병렬구동 시 별도의 전류제어 없이 전압제어만으로 각 모듈의 전류 평형을 이룰 수 있기 때문에 단순한 제어기 구조를 가진다. 또한 각 모듈을 구동하기 위한 IC를 하나의 IC로 통합하여 사용이 가능하며 SMLT의 병렬구동으로 어댑터 사이즈 저감이 가능하다. 제안방식의 타당성 검증을 위해 850W급 시작품에 대한 실험결과를 제시한다.

The vacuum sealing method is adopted to minimize the residual impurity gas by enhancing a base vacuum level, and the resultant changes in the reset, address, and sustain discharge characteristics, such as a firing voltage, IR emission, and ICCD image, were examined in comparison with the conventional sealing method in the 42-in. AC-PDP. In the PDP cells fabricated by the vacuum sealing method, the ICCD observation illustrates that the discharge is initiated and extinguished very fast and its IR emission intensity is high.

The importance of DC breakers as key protection equipment is increasing in accordance with growing concerns on MVDC distribution network systems without DC/AC conversion. Different from the situation in AC systems, no natural zero-crossing point exists in DC systems. Thus, DC breaker technology is more difficult than AC breaker technology. The solutions for DC breakers can be divided into three types: mechanical, power electronics, and hybrid. In this study, the operating principles of several topologies of hybrid circuit breakers and that of the proposed DC breaker are analyzed and simulated by sorting two types. The breakers are compared in terms of the type and number of semiconductors, volume, power loss, auxiliary components, isolation, and other aspects. The advantages and disadvantages of the breakers are also analyzed.

A technology based on thyristors will be used to manufacture the super-conducting coil AC/DC converters because of the low ratio of cost over installed power compared to a design based on GTO or similar technology. But phase-controlled converter suffers from fundamental disadvantage. They inject current harmonics into the input ac mains due to their nonlinear characteristics, thereby distort the supply voltage waveform, and demand reactive power from the associated ac power system at retarded angles. To overcome this disadvantage, in the case of two series converters at the DC side, connected to the same step-down transformer, apply for the sequence control. It is the most simple and efficient way to reduce the reactive power consumption at low cost. Analytical sequence control algorithm is suggested, the validity of the proposed scheme has been verified by experimental results with the small-scaled International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Power Supply to minimize reactive power consumption.

AC PDP(P1asma Display Pane1)s use the mixture of inert gases to generate a discharge inside the display pixels. Impurities such as CO, $CO_2$ and OH inside discharge region may deteriorate the characteristics of PDP operation during long life time of PDP. Electro-negative gas such as CO can cause the sustain pulse amplitude to rise by attaching electrons which will play an important role in the earlier stage of the discharge. MgO film is used to protect the dielectric layer in AC PDP, and is in contact with the free space of display pixel where it is filled with the inert gas mixture. So, MgO film can be a main source of impurities. In this experiment, we observed the change of impurity generation of various MgO films which were deposited by different methods, by using QMS. (quadropole mass spectrometer) The main impurites were $H_2$, CO and $CO_2$. And with the comparison of the TPD (temperature programmed desorption) result, it can be understood that impurity gases are generated by sputtering of MgO surface not by outgassing. Deposition method had effects on the characteristics of the impurity generation. The MgO film manufactured by e-beam evaporation generated more amount of impurity gases than the MgO films manufactured by sputtering or ion-plating. And also heat treatment of MgO film after deposition decreased the magnitude of impurity gas generation.

We propose a pulsed $CO_2$laser below 30W by the AC(60Hz) switching control of leakage transformer primary which has some advantages of cost and size compared to a typical pulsed power supply. Pulse repetition rate is adjusted from 5 Hz to 60 to Hz control laser output. In this laser a low voltage open loop control for high voltage pulse discharge circuit is employed to aviod the Hv sampling or switching and high voltage leakage transformer is used to convert low voltage pulse rectified from AC to high voltage one. A ZCS(Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC(programble one-chip microprocessor are used to control gate signal of SCR precisely. The pulse repetition rate is limited by 60Hz due to the frequency of AC line and a high leadkage inductance. The maximum laser output was about 23 W at pulse repetition rate of 60Hz total gas mixture of $CO_2$ : $N_2$ : He=1: 9: 15 and total pressure of 18 Torr

As a process to improve the insulation performance of VIs (Vacuum Interrupters), AC voltage conditioning is generally adopted by many manufacturers. Although the insulation performance is enhanced easily with AC Voltage conditioning, it has limitations when high recovery voltage is required due to high voltage rate or capacitive current switching. In particular, impurities such as oxides segregated on the electrode surface can be removed not by the energy level of the voltage conditioning but by the higher energy level achieved by the current conditioning process In this article, the current conditioning was carried out in various conditions and its validity was examined. The current conditioning was processed by changing the amplitude of applied current, arc time, the number of tests, and frequency. The insulation performance and the status of contact surface were checked as well. We concluded that as the applied charge quantity and the conditioning coverage area increase, the conditioning effect is much higher.
