기존 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 백라이트 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) TV 용 전원 장치는 다중출력 플라이백 컨버터를 사용하여 로직 보드, 영상 보드, LED 백라이트 등의 구동에 필요한 다양한 전원들을 생성, 공급한다. 특히, 기존에는 LED 백라이트의 구동을 위한 출력단에는 부스트 컨버터를 추가하여 LED 전류를 제어하였다. 따라서, 부스트 컨버터에 의한 부피 및 원가가 증가하는 단점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 부스트 컨버터 없이 보조 스위치 하나만을 사용한 LED 구동회로를 이용하여 LED의 정전류 제어가 가능한 저 가격형 LED 구동회로의 비동기식 제어방법을 제안한다. 최종적으로 제안 회로를 32인치 LCD TV 용 LED 백라이트에 적용하여 그 실험 결과를 바탕으로 제안 회로의 타당성을 검증하였다.

기존 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 전류 제어용 SSPR(Secondary Side Post Regulator) 스위치를 갖는 구조의 다중출력 컨버터는 LED 정 전류 제어를 위한 별도의 부스트 컨버터 없이 전류제어가 가능하여 원가 및 부피 저감과 효율이 상승하는 장점이 있다. 하지만, 주 출력단(Master)의 피드백을 받아 1차 측 메인 스위치를 제어하게 되어 제어 회로가 복잡하고 주 출력단 부하 변동에 의해 부 출력단(Slave)의 크로스-레귤레이션(Cross-Regulation) 특성이 좋지 않은 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 기존 SSPR 스위치의 장점을 갖고 주 출력 단의 부하 변동에도 부 출력단의 크로스-레귤레이션 특성이 좋은 새로운 직렬 공진형 LED 구동회로를 제안한다. 최종적으로 제안 회로를 4채널 LED 구동회로에 적용하여 그 실험결과를 바탕으로 제안 회로의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The normal low-cost manufacturing process for freeform vehicle side mirrors causes deviations from the design curvature. Here, an improved manufacturing process is proposed, combining photorealistic ray-traced visualization of each deviation and subsequent analysis of its deviated reflective scene compared to that of the original design. The proposed mechanism successfully highlights the overlap and mismatch regions of deviated reflected scenes with reference to the desired reflective scenes. We benchmarked the robustness of freeform mirror manufacturing by evaluating the 10, 20, and 30% root-mean-square (RMS) deviated curvature, and concluded that the acceptable deviation needs to be below RMS20% to avoid mismatched regions that could mislead the driver.

Due to the environmental problems caused by the greenhouse effect, regulation of $CO_2$ emissions is getting stronger day by day. In paricular, regulations of automobiles $CO_2$ emissions are being strengthen. However, existing $CO_2$ measurement methods do not reflect the environment and operating conditions on actual roads. Emissions of $CO_2$ can be increased by various conditions such as environmental condition(temperature and humidity) and driver's tendency(aggressive and passive). Therefore it is necessary to reflect the conditions of various actual roads such as 5-cycle test method on behalf of the existing $CO_2$ emission measurement method. The 5-cycle measurement method has five test modes; FTP-75, HWFET, US06, SC03, Cold FTP-75. The method reflects the following three environments and operating conditions as compared to conventional method; Using heater at low temperature, Aggressive driving such as rapid acceleration or deceleration, Using air conditioner at high temperature. Because of these various conditions of each test cycle, the 5-cycle method can reflect actual environments and operating conditions. This paper attempt to analyze $CO_2$ emission characteristics based on the results measured through the 5-cycle mode and develop the correction formula that can derive the results of the 5-cycle test method using existing test methods. As a result, the developed correction formula is expected to reduce $CO_2$ emissions and cut down expense for testing 5-cycle mode.

This paper presents a design of a LLC resonant controller IC. LLC resonant controller IC controls the voltage of the 2nd side by adjusting frequency the input frequency of the external resonant circuit. The clock generator is integrated to provide the pulse to the resonant circuit and its frequency is controlled by the external resistor. Also, the frequency of the VCO is adjusted by the feedback voltage. The protection circuits such as UVLO(Under Voltage Lock Out), brown out, fault detector are implemented for the reliable and stable operation. The HVG, and LVG drivers can provide the high current and voltage to the IGBT. The designed LLC resonant controller IC is fabricated with the 0.35 um 2P3M BCD process. The overall die size is $1400um{\times}1450um$, and supply voltage is 5V, 15V.

The automotive seat is an important component that moves in sync with the driver and is actively being developed with various new functions. The aim of this work is to develop a lightweight seat cushion extension module using a lightweight material. To this end, a structural strength analysis, vertical strength test, and durability test were conducted. In the structural analysis, the maximum value of deformation under vertical load was 4.98 mm at the front of the upper panel. The maximum stress was approximately 105 MPa, which occurred at the point of contact between the upper and lower panels of the module. The vertical strength test showed a maximum vertical deformation of 5.31 mm under a vertical load, which differed from the analysis results by approximately 6.45%. The structural safety of the product was verified by the fact that it showed no harmful deformation or damage during operation after the vertical strength test and a durability test for 20,000 cycles. Furthermore, the use of engineering plastics made it possible to reduce the weight by approximately 30% compared to existing products. The lack of damage after tests verified the passenger safety, strength, and rigidity of the product. The results are expected to be applied for improving environmental and fuel efficiency regulations and preventing accidents due to driver fatigue. The applications of this module could be expanded various types of vehicles, as well as other industries in which eco-friendly and lightweight materials are used.

Market convergence plays an increasingly important role in sustaining competitiveness and providing impetus for the new product development. However, existing research focused mostly on the analysis of convergence at technology level. This study examines the phenomenon of market convergence based on the start-up data. Similar to the analysis of technology convergence, this study adopts the concept of co-classification analysis for constructing the co-occurrence matrix and the corresponding network. In this context, network centrality measures were calculated to assess the influence of individual market segments. Based on three metrics "growth", "persistence" and "novelty", the market convergence dynamics were explored and promising interactions between two distinct market segments were highlighted. The findings suggest that both segments "AI" and "blockchain" are acting as a driver that fosters market convergence in the startup landscape. The analysis results can provide valuable information for the R&D managers and policy makers in the design of targeted policies and programs, which can promote market convergence and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer.

Since the electric vehicle uses an electric motor, problems have arisen as the driver hears the inherent noise of the motor or external noise, which was not a problem in the past, due to the overall lower noise environment than when using an internal combustion engine. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to reduce the noise and vibration of electric motors for electric vehicles, and recently, to increase the speed of high-power, high-efficiency electric motors in a small size, and to develop low-noise motors, IPM motors are applied to produce 35KW electric motors for electric vehicles. A motor for low noise was designed and implemented. N-T Curve and efficiency map were confirmed as the final result of developing a 35KW low-noise motor for electric vehicles by applying the IPM motor applied in this paper. Based on 3500 rpm, Max Torque [Nm]: 121.15, Max Power [KW]: 44.04, and Max Efficiency [%]: 97.65, showing high efficiency.
