In this paper, the ultraprecision positioning control of an ultrasonic linear motor in a high-vacuum environment is presented. The bolt-clamped Langivin type transducer (BLT) with the 3rd longitudinal; and 6th lateral vibration modes was developed, which was excited by using the Eigen resonance frequency for two vibration modes in order to generate stable and high power. In practical applications, however, even if a geometrical design has an Eigen frequency, discordance between both mode frequencies can be generated by the contact mechanism and because of manufacturing errors as well as environmental factors. Both mode frequencies were precisely matched by adjusting the impedence. By using this method, the BLT can be driven under any environmental conditions. The nominal characteristic trajectory following(NCTF) control method was adopted to control the positioning of the system in vacuum. The developed linear motor stage show high positioning accuracy with 5 nm.

The triggered vacuum switch(TVS) is a one of the important component in consisiting high power control systems(HPCS). The operating condition is depended on material, geometry, operating power and so on. Our research is focused on the effects of thses basic properties and ptimized condition, because these are critical conditons in understanding the TVS operation. Our experiment is accomplished with a copper electrode and a tungsten trigger pin after being assembled into a vacuum chamber. The operating voltage in our system is more than dozens of kV at the 5kV trigger pulse. Our goal is up to 300kJ, therefore the currents should be more optimized in additional experiments,

A Non-Evaporable Getter(NEG) pump was fabricated using Zr-V-Fe alloy modules to obtain $10^{-9}$ Pa range pressures. Pumping performances and activation characteristics were investigated and the pumping speeds for hydrogen, deuterium and carbon monoxide gases of the NEG pump were measured. And hydrogen desorption characteristics were examined during activation at $450^{\circ}C$. Futhermore the vacuum performance was compared with those of other high vacuum pumps as turbo-molecular pump, sputter-ion pump, and cryo pump by analyzing the residual gases of the system.

This paper is presented for robot vacuum cleaners using BLDC motors. Recently, BLDC motors which require smaller size, lower sound noise and higher efficiency have been placed in high value-added products including robot vacuum cleaners, vehicle cars and other industry applications. The DC motors have higher sound noise, higher height of the size and lower efficiency due to electro-magnetic structure using the brushes and the commutators. The proposed BLDC motors are appropriate for the motors adequate in regards to higher efficiency, longer life cycle time, and smaller height of the size when robot vacuum cleaners go to some lower height of the space like under sleeping beds and because it's power source is batteries. The paper shows the performance of the BLDC motors designed by the Finite Element Analysis(FEA) of the electro-magnetic field. This paper shows the mechanical structure and the prototype of the motor with the impeller. The performance characteristics of the BLDC motors with the hall sensor controller are verified by the experimental results.

The base pressure of the vacuum vessel of KSTAR tokamak is to be ultra high vacuum, $10^{-6}\sim10^{-7}Pa$, to produce a clean plasma with low impurity concentrations. For this purpose, vessel and plasma facing components need to be baked up to $250^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$ respectively to remove impurities from the plasma-material interaction surfaces. Here the required heating power to be supplied for baking has been calculated according to pre-assumed different temperature profiles (baking scenario and proper baking plan for KSTAR tokamak has been proposed. Mass flow rate and temperature of nitrogen gas for baking has also been calculated.

Carbon has been widely used for the material of plasma facing components in fusion experiment devices like a tokamak, because carbon has good thermal and mechanical properties. However carbon gas a relatively high ougassing rate. Therefore the amount and the surface area of the carbon material used in the vessel will determine the background pressure of the vacuum vessel. In this experiment influences of carbon on the vacuum performance was investigated by measuring chamber pressure, ougassing rater and gas spectrum of carbon fiber composite (CFC) samples in various situations, pumping out, chamber baking, carbon heating (250~$500^{\circ}C$), exposure to atmosphere for maintenance of in-vessel components, etc., occurring routinely during tokamak operations.

Of the roughly four million known substances, about 60,000 are processed and sold ; many of these must be dried. Many materials are processed in the liquid state - ideal for mixing and reacting - but most products are needed or wanted as dry, or relatively dry, solids. Usually operation is just below atmospheric pressure, as with direct dryers, but some are built for vacuum operation with pressures as low as 26.66kPa abs.. In spite of the global-class aquiculture agriculture and fisheries technology of our country, the processing technologies are lags behind the other nations relatively. These problems are considered to be caused directly by the lack of drying technologies. This paper is concerned to the experimental results of drying heat transfer characteristics for the green energy type vacuum dryer for the high quality agriculture and fisheries production.

The general cooling tower is a device for making a cooling water in refrigerant condensers or industrial process heat exchangers. The present cooling tower have defects with noises, complicated structure and environmental problems. In this paper, we constituted a new water cooling system by using a evaporating latent heat in an enclosed tank, and this system is consisted of an enclosed vacuum tank and water driving ejector system. Several experimental cases were carried out for improvement methods of high vacuum pressure and water cooling characteristics. The ejector performance was tested in case of water temperature variations that flows in the ejector. Based on the vacuum pressure by water driving ejector, the water cooling characteristics were investigated for the vaporized air condensing effects.

PAL(Pohang Accelerator Laboratory) designed and manufactured a 5m-long straight vacuum chamber to adopt U7 undulator that is the first insertion device. Top and bottom plates of the vacuum chamber were made of Al alloy A5083-H321, and welded together by the GTAW welding. The leak rate is less than 1×{TEX}$10^{-10}${/TEX} torr·ℓ/s with negligible welding deformation. The pressure has been maintained below {TEX}$10^{-10}${/TEX} torr after installation. This paper reports the welding process and the method applied to achieve ultimate vacuum performance and t satisfy integrity of welds.
