A method for obtaining the power energy with high quality is to keep the power factor for a load as close to unity as feasible. In this paper, we present a new method to improve the power factor for a load. The proposed method uses fuzzy control techniques in order to determine how many parallel capacitors are to be connected to the load for the correction of the power factor.

The life of a fluorescent lamp is greatly affected by starting scenario and crest factor. This paper will propose a new crest factor control method in electronic ballast for fluorescent lamp using Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), which employs a passive Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit in the input stage. The operation of parellel-loaded circuit, the switching frequency. and the characteristics of electronic ballast with the proposed PFM control scheme are described in detail, and its validity is verified by the simulation results.

For the cracked component under combined primary and secondary stress, an interacion between the loads occurs and the secondary stress is relaxed by the primary load. To account for this phenomena, R6 code provides the correction factor which is called V-factor. However, evaluation corrected with V-factor need to be examined for its conservatism. In this paper the conservatism of the current V-factor is examined for the circumferentially cracked pipe under the combined load and new evaluation method is proposed to reduce the conservatism.

Bridge load rating calculations provide a basis for determining the safe load capacity of bridge. Load rating requires engineering judgement in determining a rating value that is applicable to maintaining the safe use of the bridge and arriving at posting and permit decisions. Load testing is an effective means in calculating the rating value of bridge. In Korea, load carrying capacity of bridge is modified by stress modification factor that is determined from comparisons of measured values and analysis results The stress modification factor may be corrupted by vehicle location error that is defined as the gap of test vehicle location between load testing and analysis. In this study, the effects of vehicle location error to structural response and stress modification factor are investigated, and a new method for evaluating stress modification factor is proposed. The random data analysis shows that the proposed method is less sensitive to vehicle location error than the present method.

본 논문은 단상 SRM 구동을 위한 1단 방식의 역률 보상형 컨버터에 관한 연구이다. 기존의 SRM 구동에서의 역률 보상회로는 2단 방식의 구조로 구성이 복잡하고 소자의 수가 증가하여 경제적으로 불리한 단점을 가진다. 따라서, 부가적인 회로의 추가 없이 1단 방식의 단위 역률이 가능한 단상 SRM 구동회로를 제안한다. 제안된 회로에 대한 타당성을 시뮬레이션과 실험으로 검증한다.

Objectives: This study developed a harmonized method for risk assessment based on the Hazard & Risk Evaluation of Chemicals (HREC) according to the Industrial Safety and Health Act (ISHA). Methods: Three preliminary studies, performed during 2010 and 2011 by the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute and three academic research groups, were compared. The differences in risk assessment, especially in the dose-response assessment method, were analyzed. A new harmonized method for dose-response assessment was suggested and its applicability for the HREC was examined. Results: Considering the various steps of each dose-response assessment, the equivalent steps in quantitative correction, uncertainty factor 2 (UF2) for intra-species uncertainty, and UF3 for the experimental period in the uncertainty correction were relatively high. Using our new method, the total correction values (quantitative correction plus uncertainty correction) ranged from 72~15,789 to 30~60, and the ratio of the threshold limit value (TLV) to the reference concentration decreased from 12.8~1900 to 5.4~11.8. Furthermore, when we performed risk characterization by our new method, hazard quotient (HQ) values for chloroethylene, epichlorohydrin, and barium sulfate became 3.0, 14.1, and 1.13 respectively, whereas three previous studies reported HQ values of 7.1, 4580, and 87.3 considering reasonable maximum exposure (RME) conditions. HQs of the three chemicals were calculated to be 0.6, 2.4, and 0.1 respectively, when compared to their TLVs. Conclusions: Our new method could be applicable for the HREC because the total correction values and the ratio of TLVs were within reasonable ranges. It is also recommended that additional risk management measures be applied for epichlorohydrin, for which the HQ values were greater than 1 when compared with both reference values and the TLV. Our proposed method could be used to harmonize dose-response assessment methods for the implementation of risk assessment based on the HREC according to ISHA.

본 연구는 행렬인수분해 기반으로 3차원 형상의 복원을 위한 오차 보정에 관한 것입니다. 기존 행렬인수분해 기반 오차 보정 방법은 전역적인 최적화로 인해 보정에 한계가 있습니다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전역적 접근 대신 3차원 복원 형상의 주요 오차 영향 인자를 찾아 보정하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였습니다. 우리는 오차 영향 인자를 2차원 재 투영 편차 공간에서 정의하고 그 오차 성분을 직접 보정합니다. 그리고 일련의 과정을 재귀적으로 반복 적용함으로서 오차 보정 성능을 개선시킬 수 있습니다. 이러한 접근 방법은 어떤 기하학적 정보에 의존하지 않고 영향도가 가장 큰 오차 성분 중심으로 제어하기 때문에 잡음에 장점을 가지고 있습니다. 제안한 알고리즘 성능 평가는 합성과 실제 영상 프레임으로 시뮬레이션하여 잡음에 강인한 특성을 증명했습니다.

Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) is expected to replace conventional lamps including incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamps for some general illumination application, due to some obvious features such as high luminous efficiency, safety, long life, environment-friendly characteristics and so on. To drive the LED, a single stage PFC(Power Factor Correction) flyback converter has been adopted to satisfy the isolation, PFC and low cost. The conventional flyback LED driver has the serious disadvantage of high 120Hz output current ripple caused by the PFC operation. To overcome this drawback, a new PFC flyback with low 120Hz output current ripple is proposed in this paper. It is composed of 2 power stages, the DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) flyback converter for PFC and BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) boost converter for tightly regulated LED current. Since the link capacitor is located in the secondary side, its voltage stress is small. Moreover, since the driver is composed of 2 power stages, small output filter and link capacitor can be used. Especially, since the flyback is operated at DCM, the PFC can be automatically obtained and thus, an additional PFC IC is not necessary. Therefore, only one control IC for BCM boost converter is required. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a prototype of 24W LED driver are presented.

Several critical heat flux (CHF) correlations including the look-up table in the MARS code have been assessed for the prediction of CHF in a downward-flow narrow rectangular channel. For the assessment, we built an experiment database that covers pressures between 1.01 and 39.0 bar, gap sizes between 1.09 and 6.53 mm, mass fluxes up to 25,772 kg/m²s, and under one-sided and two-sided heating conditions. The results of the assessment showed that the Kaminaga correlation has the best overall prediction compared to others. However, because the correlation uses global variables, such as inlet and outlet subcooling and total heat transfer area, it is difficult to use in a system code. A new CHF correlation is then proposed by replacing the global variables in the Kaminaga correlation with local ones and adding correction factors to consider the effect of gap size, mass flux, and the number of heating walls. Additional correction factor is added to consider the effect of inlet subcooling. It is shown that the new one is better than the Kaminaga correlation and it is easy to implement to any system code.

Recently, many nations have released standard such as IEC 1000-3-2 and IEEE 519 which impose a limit on the harmonic current drawn by equipment connected to AC line in order to prevent the distortion of an AC line. Among the wide variety of active methods for improving power factor and harmonic distortion, the boost converter is very effective because it has a continuous line current , small choke filter and high power factor. In high power application, however, the bridge diode loss in the boost converter has made the efficiency lower and the temperature of the board higher. A new approach without bridge diode to make the same characteristics of the conventional boost converter has also been developed. This paper present the comparisons between the continuous current mode(CCM) operated conventional boost converter and the boundary current mode(BCM) operated the bridgeless boost converter for high efficiency and high power factor.
