Indium free consisting of three alternating layers GTO/Ag/GTO has been fabricated by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering for the applications as transparent conducting electrodes and the structural, electrical and optical properties of the gallium tin oxide (GTO) films were carefully studied. The gallium tin oxide thin films deposited at room temperature are found to have an amorphous structure. Hall Effect measurements show a strong influence on the conductivity type where it changed from n-type to p-type at $700^{\circ}C$. GTO/Ag/GTO multilayer structured electrode with a few nm of Ag layer embedded is fabricated and show the optical transmittance of 86.48% in the visible range (${\lambda}$ = 380~770 nm) and quite low electrical resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$. The resultant power conversion efficiency of 2.60% of the multilayer based OPV (GAG) is lower than that of the reference commercial ITO. GTO/Ag/GTO multilayer is a promising transparent conducting electrode material due to its low resistivity, high transmittance, low temperature deposition and low cost components.

We had proposed a winding method so called "Wind-and-Flip", which enables a persistent current operation of an HTS pancake coil without any electrical joint. In order to improve the magnetic field drift characteristics, a prototype HTS coil with the technique was fabricated, and tested under various temperatures. Because the coil doesn't have any electric terminals for current leads, an HTS background magnet was used to induce the persistent current in the coil by field cooling process. A conduction cooling system with a GM cryocooler was prepared to keep the operating temperatures of the prototype coil much below the 77 K. We investigated the magnetic field drift characteristics under the various operating temperatures by measuring the center magnetic field with a cryogenic Hall sensor. The persistent current mode operation at 20 ~ 50K showed a strong possibility of the winding technique for the application such as MRI or NMR.

One of the significant subject in the automatic arc welding is to establish control system of the welding parameters for controlling bead geometry as a criterion to evaluate the quality of arc welding. This paper proposes an inference algorithm for bead geometry in CMA Welding using Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm. The characteristic welding parameters are measured by the circuit composed of hall sensor, voltage divider tachometer, etc. and then the bead geometry of each weld pool is calculated and detected by an image processing with CCD camera and a measuring with microscope. The relationships between the characteristic welding parameters and the bead geometry have been arranged empirically. From the result of experiments, membership functions and fuzzy rules are tuned and determined by the learning of neural network, and then the relationship between actual bead geometry and inferred bead geometry are concluded by fuzzy logic controller. In the applied inference system of bead geometry using Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm, the inference error percent is within -5%∼+4% in case of bead width, -10%∼+10% in bead height, -5%∼+6% in bead area, -10%∼+10% in penetration. Use of the Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm allows the CMA Welding system to evaluate the quality in bead geometry in real time as the welding parameters change.

최근 자성 나노 입자를 이용한 온열치료가 주목을 받고 있다. 자성을 띄는 나노 입자를 암 세포에 보내, 교류 자기장을 걸어주어 회전에 의한 마찰손실로 인한 열을 이용하여 암 조직만을 국소 가열하는 원리이다. 본 실험은 유도 자기장을 사용한 자성 나노 파우더의 가열을 목적으로 시행하였다. 나선형 코일위에 세라믹, 유리 등 절연체 원판 위에 자기장이 발생되도록 휴대용 평판형 자기장 발생장치를 제작하였다. 자기장 발생 장치는 평판형 나선형 코일에 특정 주파수를 가진 전원을 인가하여 자기장을 발생시킨다. 평판형 나선형 코일은 내경 40 mm, 외경 140 mm, 2 mm 동선으로 제작하였다. 제작한 자기장 발생장치를 자기장 측정 센서(Hall sensor 등)을 원판 위에 설치하여 거리별 자기장의 크기를 측정하였다. 자기장은 나선형 코일 위 원판 중심에서 최대로 발생되어 중심에서 멀어질수록 크기가 감소하였다. 자기장 발생장치 위에 자성 나노 파우더($Fe_3O_4$와 $CoFe_2O_4$)를 혼합한 용액 시료를 위치시키고 자기 쌍극자 모멘트와 자기장간의 상호작용을 유도한다. 이때 자성 나노 파우더별로 발생하는 열을 열전쌍(TC)이나 Optical fiber를 사용한 Thermometer로 측정하여 비교분석하였다.

Thin film Si has been used in sensors, radiation detectors, and solar cells. The carrier mobility of thin film Si influences the device behavior through its frequency response or time response. Since poly-Si shows the higher mobility value, a-Si:H films on Mo substrate were subjected to various crystallization treatments. Consequently, we need to find an appropriate method in mobility measurement before and after the anneal treatment. This paper investigates the carrier mobility improvement with anneal treatments and summarizes the mobility measurement methods of the a-Si:H and poly-Si film. Various techniques were investigated for the mobility determination such as Hall mobility, HS, TOF, SCLC, TFT, and TCO method. We learned that TFT and TCO method are suitable for the mobility determination of a-Si:H and poly-Si film. The measured mobility was improved by $2{\sim}3$ orders after high temperature anneal above $700^{\circ}C$ and grain boundary passivation using an RF plasma rehydrogenation.

In order to achieve high performance vector control, it is essential to measure accurate ac current. The errors generated from current path are inevitable, and they could be divided into two categories: offset error and scaling error. The current data including these errors cause periodic speed ripples which are one and two times of stator electrical frequency respectively. Since these undesirable ripples bring about bad influences to motor driving system, a compensation algorithm must be needed in the control algorithm of the motor drive. In this paper, a new compensation algorithm is proposed. The signal of the integrator output of the d-axis current regulator is chosen and processed to compensate the current measurement errors. The compensation of the current measurement errors is easily implemented to smooth the signal of the integrator output of the d-axis current regulator by subtracting the DC offset value or rescaling the gain of the hall sensor. Therefore, the proposed algorithm has several features: the robustness of the variation of the mechanical parameters, the application of the steady and transient state, the easy implementation, and less computation time.

Hall effect force sensors have been used to measure clamping force in conventional Electric Parking Brake(EPB) systems. Estimation of clamping force without the sensors has drawn attentions due to mounting space limitations and cost issues. Removing the sensor requires the estimation of the initial contact point where the clamping force is effectively applied to the brake pads. In this paper, we propose how to estimate the initial contact point finding the relation between the angular velocity of an actuator and the initial contact point. For force estimation a look-up table is used as a function of the displacement of parking cable from the initial contact point. The proposed method is validated by experiments. From the experimental results we observe that the proposed method satisfies the specifications. The designed method is also able to estimate clamping force although parking cables are loosened and brake pads are worn out. Applying the proposed method enables manufacturing of low cost EPB systems.

A brushless DC (BLDC) motor control system for four-axis driving fins to control the flight attitude of a guided artillery munition is developed in this study. This system adopts a simple sensorless control scheme without a Hall sensor. A 12-step driving sensorless BLDC motor scheme is used to improve the output torque. This system has many restrictive problems that hinder the verification of a real system. For example, this has cost and environmental limitations. Therefore, this study develops HILS to verify a four-axis driving fin control system and verifies the position control system hardware by HILS operation.

This paper presents the development of a magneto-optical encoder for higher precision and smaller size. In general, optical encoders can have very high precision based on the position information of the slate, while their sizes tend to be larger due to the presence of complex and large components, such as an optical module. In contrast, magnetic encoders have exactly the opposite characteristics, i.e., small size and low precision. In order to achieve encoder features encompassing the advantages of both optical and magnetic encoders, i.e., high precision and small size, we designed a magneto-optical encoder and developed a method to detect absolute position, by compensating for the error of the hall sensor using the linear table compensation method. The performance of the magneto-optical encoder was evaluated through an experimental testbed.

In this paper, we designed and manufactured an automatic control system to minimize or avoid damage by automatically controlling ship engines in case of fog to allow for safer operation. This automatic power control system uses ATmega128 and an RPM detection circuit to measure RPM changes by artificially generating fog in the fog generator. For this purpose, we have created a complete schematic and applied our source code to an ATmega128 for PWM control using a Hall sensor motor. In future, an experiment and safety evaluation using this automatic power control system with an actual ship will be prepared.
