This study was performed to evaluate methods for determination of airbone mercury in industrial environments. Three methods, such as Hopcalite method, passive monitoring method and Jerome method were evaluated at two (2) fluorescent lamp manufacturing Plants in Korea during a period from May 24 to May 31, 1994 and the result are as follows: 1. The average were concentrations of airbone mercury were $26{\mu}g/m^3$ by Hopcalite method, $25{\mu}g/m^3$ by passive monitoring method, and $38{\mu}g/m^3$ by the Jerome method, respectively, which were below the permissible exposure limit of $50{\mu}g/m^3$ established by both the Korean Ministry of Labor and ACGIH. However, 12 out of 49 cases(24.4%) in plant A and 2 out of 31 cases(6.5%) in plant B were in excess of the standard. 2. The relationship between the results by Hopcalite method and the passive monitoring method was significant(r=0.892). 3. The variation among three results by eath of three methods were different by process. The highest variation was determined at quality control process("process b") which invoved in large variation of concentrations. 4. When short term high concentrations were produced, the Hopcalite method was more efficient then the passive method.

In this paper, we dealt with the design and fabrication of a medium pressure ultra-violet (UV) lamp and a magnetic ballast which are main components for ballast water treatment systems (BWTS). To acquire an optimal discharge condition of UV lamp, electrical and optical characteristics depending on the argon gas volume and the amount of mercury were experimentally analyzed. Rated voltage, current and power consumption of a prototype lamp were 490 [V], 8.6 [A] and 4.0 [kW], respectively. UV intensity of the lamp was 15 [%] higher than that of an equivalent lamp which is used in a BWTS. The magnetic ballast was designed in a UI core type through theoretical analysis and simulation. The open voltage and the rated power consumption of the ballast were 920 [V] and 8.5 [kVA] respectively. The disinfection efficacy which is carried out in a BWTS equipped with the UV lamp and magnetic ballast was over 99.99 [%], and this satisfy the IMO regulations.

The properties of discharge, luminance, and spectroscopy are investigated in a longitudinal and transverse discharge fluorescent lamps with tube of outer diameter 4 mm. The sample lamps are prepared to be three kinds of gas composition such as mercury lamps of Ne(95%)+Ar(5%)+Hg(2 mg), the mercury-free lamps of Xe 100% and Ne+Xe(4%). The gas pressure is in the range of $5{\sim}300\;Torr$. In the mercury lamps, the longitudinal discharge having a positive column is high in luminance and efficiency, while the transverse discharge is no luminance at all. In the Xe-lamps, the transverse discharge shows relatively good in efficiency as compared with the longitudinal discharge which has a high discharge voltage and a low luminance and efficiency. In the transverse discharge of relatively high efficiency, a pure Xe(100%) gas discharge has a higher efficiency than the mixture gas of Ne+Xe(4%). Through these experiments, the properties of mercury and xenon lamps are verified. In the mercury lamps, the longitudinal discharge of tubular fluorescent lamps is high in luminance and efficiency, while the transverse discharge of flat panel fluorescent lamps are low in luminance efficiency. In the mercury-free lamps, the flat fluorescent lamps of transverse discharge having a high pressure ${\sim}100\;Torr$ with the pure Xe-gas are verified to be suggestable.

A Highly efficient Mercury-free Flat Fluorescent Lamp (MFFL) with dielectric barrier Xe gas discharge was developed for an alternative of conventional line-type Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFLs) which shows a wide voltage margin and a stable discharge operation for diffuse glow discharge with an application of a auxiliary electrode. Electro-optic characteristics of the MFFL were examined through the changes in ambient temperature, total pressure and Xe partial pressure. the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a large sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive brightness control using dual auxiliary electrodes and bi-polar drive scheme. In addition, interesting application of this ultra high luminance flat lamp by the optimization of the gas condition and the pattern of the rear phosphor layer is suggested as a good alternative of daylight lamp source

With the help of the development of digital-multimedia in the middle of 1990's, FDP(Flat Panel Display) had attracted considerable attention. Collimation proximity exposure system that transfers the pattern on wafer or glass exactly using mask and light with appropriate wavelength is core process in semiconductor and liquid display element. The performances of resolution required in precision exposure system are evaluated by resolving power, depth of focus and storage area. Most of development has targeted on these three factors. The optical design including lamp house has played an important role on the performance of exposure process. In this study, we evaluate the cooling system, concerning on exposure device with mercury lamp among the kernel equipment for the production of LCD, to prevent the instability of lighting due to long term accumulation of excessive heating inside the lamp house. Numerical analysis is conducted on full-scale model. The characteristics of three-dimensional flow, pressure and temperature distribution on exposure system are graphically depicted to estimate the whole cooling system for lamp house and to establish the design criteria.

In this paper, we introduced a LIF measurement method and summarized the theoretical side. When an altered wavelength of laser and electric power, lamp applied electric power, we measured the relative density of the metastable state in mercury after observing a laser induced fluorescence signal of 404.8nm and 546.2nm, and confirmed the horizontal distribution of plasma density in the discharge lamp. The results confirmed the resonance phenomenon regarding the energy level of atoms along a wavelength change, and also confirmed that the largest fluorescent signal in 436nm, and that the density of atoms in 546.2nm ($6^3S_1\rightarrow6^3P_2$) were larger than 404.8nm ($6^3S_1\rightarrow6^3P_1$). According to the increase of lamp applied electric power, plasma density increased, too. When increased with laser electric power, the L1F signal reached a saturation state in more than 2.6mJ. When partial plasma density distribution along a horizontal axis was measured using the laser induced fluorescence method, the density decreased by recombination away from the center.

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cells which are fabricated by photo-chemical vapor deposition (photo-CVD) system has been investigated. In the photo-CVD system which consists of three separate reaction chambers, low-pressure mercury lamp has been used as a light source. The main reactant ($Si_2H_6/He$) gases which are premixed with a small amount of mercury vapor in a mercury-vaporizer kept at $50^{\circ}C$ have been used. Using $C_2H_2$ and $SiH_2(CH_3)_2$ as the carbon source, p-type wide band gap a-SiC:H films have been obtained. The result has been found that the undoped layers of the pin/substrate solar cells are influenced by the residual impurities, such as phosphorus and boron during the deposition process. By minimizing the effect of the impurities in the i-layer and optimizing conditions at the p-layer and p/i interface, the energy conversion efficiency of 9.61 % under AM-1 ($100mW/Cm^2$) has been achieved for pin/substrate solar cells illuminated through their p-layers, using the three separate reaction chamber apparatus. It is expected that a-SiC:H solar cells with the energy conversion efficiency over 10% have been fabricated by Photo-CVD method.

Recently companies which do not use the heavy metals such as lead, chrome, mercury to the electronic goods and alternate the materials environment-friendly are increasing. In advanced country, lead-free solder without lead is developed and soldering process almost disappeared. The lead-free solder is environment-friendly but is expensive and lack of tack and durability than lead, the improvement is necessary. To solve this problem, the welding process that uses TIG welding and the welding technology between different kind metals for lead-in wire of room lamp and base department was developed. To do this, previous room lamp manufacturing process was analysed and which process can be alternate was proposed. And the test for selection of optimal value of TIG welding parameter was done. Finally the lamp aging test and earthquake resistant test was done to check the reliability of welded room lamp.
