In this paper, the new smart dimming algorithm which is mixed with PWM and PAM control method is proposed for reducing the power consumption of LED TV Backlight. The proposed technique is using the curve characteristics of LED forward voltage and current which is proportionally changing LED forward voltage as changing LED forward current. Therefore, each PWM and PAM control method has different LED forward voltage and current in the same brightness condition. The PWM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by only varying the duty ratio of PWM and constantly sustaining the amplitude of LED forward current and voltage. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PWM control method is relatively high and constant regardless of duty ratio of PWM. On the other hand, the PAM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by directly varying the level of LED forward current. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PAM control method is lowered according to the brightness level. For the above-mentioned reason, the PAM control method has the advantage of reducing the total power consumption of LED TV Backlight at the brightness condition of below 100%, compared with PWM control method. By implementing this characteristic to LED driver circuit with control algorithm in MCU, the power consumption of LED TV Backlight can expect to be reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method, new smart dimming algorithm, CPWAM(=Conditional Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation), has been verified by experimental results.

An online estimation method for wireless power transfer (WPT) systems is presented without using any measurement of the secondary side or the load. This parameter estimation method can be applied with a controlling strategy that removes both the receiving terminal controller and the wireless communication. This improves the reliability of the system while reducing its costs and size. In a wireless power transfer system with an LCCL impedance matching circuit under a rectifier load, the actual load value, voltage/current and mutual inductance can be reflected through reflected impedance measuring at the primary side. The proposed method can calculate the phase angle tangent value of the secondary loop circuit impedance via the reflected impedance, which is unrelated to the mutual inductance. Then the load value can be determined based on the relationships between the load value and the secondary loop impedance. After that, the mutual inductance and transfer efficiency can be computed. According to the primary side voltage and current, the load voltage and current can also be detected in real-time. Experiments have verified that high estimation accuracy can be achieved with the proposed method. A single-controller based on the proposed parameter estimation method is established to achieve constant current control over a WPT system.

Hf thin films were deposited on bottom metal using a RF magnetron sputtering method followed by oxidation and annealing in O$_2$ and N$_2$ ambient, respectively. Various top metal electrodes (i.e., Al, Au, and Cu) were deposited by evaporation, and their roles on physical and electrical properties were investigated. Using the XRD, SEM and AFM techniques, we confirmed that the grain size of HfO$_2$ thin films enlarges as a function of oxidation temperature, increasing dielectric constant. However, other electrical properties (e.g., tan) deteriorateas a consequence. The dielectric constant and tan of HfO$_2$ thin films oxidized at 500 $^{\circ}C$ were 17-25 and 3${\times}$10-3 - 2x10-2, respectively, in the frequency range of 1 Hz to 1 MHz. The leakage current density was less than 1${\times}$10-8A/cm2 up to 0.7 MV/cm. In addition, electrical properties of HfO$_2$ thin films (e.g., the dielectric constant, leakage current and tan $\delta$) depend on top metal electrode. We showed that Al top metal electrode results in the best result.

We prepared carbon nanotube (CNT) paper by a vacuum filtration method for the use of a chip-typed resistor as a precision passive device with a constant resistance. Hybrid resistor composed of the CNT resistor with a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (T.C.R) and a metal alloy resistor with a positive T.C.R could lead to a constant resistance, because the resistance increase owing to the temperature increase at the metal alloy and decrease at the CNT could counterbalance each other. The constant resistance for the precision passive devices should be maintained even when a heat was generated by a current flow resulting in resistance change. Performance reliabilities of the CNT resistor for the precision passive device applications such as electrical load limit, environmental load limit, and life limit specified in IEC 60115-1 must be ensured. In this study, therefore, the rated power determination and T.C.R tests of the CNT paper were conducted. -900~-700 ppm/℃ of TCR, 0.1~0.2 A of the carrying current capacity, and 0.0625~0.125 W of the rated power limit were obtained from the CNT paper. Consequently, we confirmed that the application of CNT materials for the precision hybrid passive devices with a metal alloy could result in a better performance reliability with a zero tolerance.

The computer simulation of speed and phase control system has been carried out in this study. The load of permanent magnet type synchronous motor is not constant in this system. The cost function method has been used in obtaining the optimal gain of PI controller and the rotor position angle of phase controller has been compensated depending on the load and speed variation. This analysis also shows that the current of d-axis component is zero under the variable a load conditions and the torque per unit current can be maximized.

This paper describes a new method for a digital gas metal arc welding (GMAW) system. The GMAW system is an arc welding process that incorporates the GMAW power source (PS-GMAW) with a wire feed unit (WFU). The PS-GMAW requires an electric power of constant voltage. A constant magnitude is maintained for the arc current by controlling the wire-feed speed of the WFU. A mathematical model is derived, and a self-tuning fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is designed and applied to control the welding current. The electrode wire feeding mechanism with this controller is driven by a DC motor, which can compensate for both the molten part of the electrode and undesirable fluctuations in the arc length during the welding process. By accurately maintaining the output welding current and welding voltage at constant values during the welding process, excellent welding results can be obtained. Simulation and experimental results are shown to prove the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

비트코인은 탈중앙화와 분산원장을 특징으로 하는 암호화폐로서 "작업증명"이라는 채굴시스템을 통해 유지된다. 채굴 시스템에서는 블록 생성시간을 일정하게 유지하기 위해 채굴 난이도를 조정하게 되는데, 기존의 채굴 난이도 변경 방식은 미래의 해시파워를 반영할 수 없다는 문제가 있다. 따라서 실제시간과 예정시간 사이에 발생하는 오차로 인해 블록생성과 실세계 시간의 불일치를 가중시키게 되고, 결국 거래 기한을 맞추지 못하거나 코인 호핑 공격에 취약점을 노출시키게 된다. 블록 생성시간을 일정하게 유지시키기 위한 기존 연구도 여전히 오차 문제를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 오차를 줄이기 위한 기계학습 기반 채굴 난이도 예측 방안을 제시한다. 이전 해시파워를 학습하여 미래의 해시파워를 예측하고 예측한 값을 이용하여 채굴 난이도를 조정한다. 우리의 실험 결과는 이와 같은 경우 기존 채굴 난이도 조정방식보다 오차율을 약 36% 더 줄일 수 있음을 보여준다.
