To obtain the ultra-sharp tungsten tip, an analog to digital converter circuit aided by a personal computer has been setup. At the moment the lower part of the needle drops off during the etching process, a maximum current change across the reference resistor is detected by the PC interface card and the applied voltage is then cut off within a few milliseconds. Out experiment has been able to fabricate an ultra-sharp tungsten tip ~200 $\AA$ radius with a higher reproduction rate and reliability than the conventional method.

There are generally two temperature control methods using ac voltage regulators - the phase control method and the on-off control method. The phase control method uses thyristor's angles of extinction for the output power regulation and the on-off control method uses the control of on and off times for the output power regulation. Both of methods have the problems that are the unbalance of the three phase and surge current caused system's destruction. The main object of this study proposes a solution of problems of surge currents and unbalance of three phase when thyristor voltage regulator is switching. To solve the problem, It is proposes that the solution of surge currents is using a tap transformer and an additional switch with adjustable resistance and applies zero crossing of switching voltage of two input line to power load. This method is discuss and verified by computer simulations and experiments.

The OTFT devices had inverted staggered structures of Au/pentacene/ppMMA/ITO on PET substrate. The overall device performances of the flexible devices such as the operating voltage, the field effect mobility, the on/off ratio and the off current are somewhat worse than those of devices fabricated on glass substrates. Pentacene/ppMMA OTFT benchmarks (mobility, sub-threshold slope, on/off ratio) were comparable to that of solution cast PMMA, but below average when compared to other polymer gate dielectrics. However, threshold and drive voltages were among the lowest reported for a polymer gate dielectric, and surpassed only by ultra-thin SAM gate dielectrics.

Generally, internal parameters of the motors and generators can be divided to the resistance and inductance components. They can become a cause of the changing internal parameters because they have sensitive characteristics due to external conditions. The changed parameters can generate the outputs which include error values from the speed and current controllers. Also, it can bring the temperature increase and mechanical damage to the system. Therefore, internal parameters of the motors and generators need to obtain their values according to the external conditions because it can prevent the mechanical damage caused by the changed parameters. In this paper, the off-line parameter identification method is verified using the Goertzel algorithm. The motor used in the simulation and experiments is an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), and the proposed algorithm is verified by the simulation and experimental results.

We propose a novel multi-photodiode array (MPDA) based retinal implant IC with on/off stimulation strategy for a visual prosthesis with improved spatial resolution. An active pixel sensor combined with a comparator enables generation of biphasic current pulses when light intensity meets a threshold condition. The threshold is tuned by changing the discharging time of the active pixel sensor for various light intensity environments. A prototype of the 30-channel retinal implant IC was fabricated with a unit pixel area of $0.021mm^2$, and the stimulus level up to $354{\mu}A$ was measured with the threshold ranging from 400 lx to 13120 lx.

In order to detect exact corona discharge point at stator winding of a rotating machine, an inductively coupled magnetic probe has been developed, which consists of U-shaped and truncated manganese ferrite inductor as a helix. The measured current intensity is somewhat higher than commercially developed probe. It has been shown that the measured intensity of proposed probe is suitable for manual localization as to off-line stator winding monitoring of rotating machine.

A compact plasmonic switching scheme, based on the phase change of a thin-film chalcogenide material ($Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$), is proposed and numerically investigated at optical-communication wavelengths. Surface plasmon polariton modal analysis is conducted for various thicknesses of dielectric and phase-change material layers, and the optimized condition is induced by finding the region of interest that shows a high extinction ratio of surface plasmon polariton modes before and after the phase transition. Full electromagnetic simulations show that multiple reflections inside the active region may conditionally increase the overall efficiency of the on/off ratio at a specific length of the active region. However, it is shown that the optimized geometrical condition, which shows generally large on/off ratio for any length of active region, can be distinguished by observing the multiple-reflection characteristic inside the active region. The proposed scheme shows an on/off switching ratio greater than 30 dB for a length of a few micrometers, which can be potentially applied to integrated active plasmonic systems.

본 논문에서는 에너지 절감을 위하여 POWER LED 구동회로를 PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) 센서를 이용하여 ON/OFF 제어를 하였다. POWER LED의 전류 특성을 설명하였으며 설명된 전류 특성을 개선하고자 정전류 유지 회로를 구성하였다. 그리고 인체 감지 센서에서 발생되는 ON/OFF 신호를 증폭시키는 구동 회로를 설계하여 정전류 유지 회로에 직접 결합하는 방식을 제안하였다. 실험한 결과는 POWER LED의 ON 상태시 4Watt, OFF 상태시 0.5Watt를 소비하였으며, 정전류 유지 회로에 의해 POWER LED 구동 전류의 리플이 줄어들어 안정적인 동작을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper analyzes the effects of Ge profiles shape of SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT's) for high frequency application. Device simulations using ATLAS/BLAZE for the SiGe HBT with trapezoidal or triangular Ge profile are carried out to optimize the device performance. An HBT with 15% triangular Ge profile shows higher cut-off frequency and DC current gain than that with 19% trapezoidal Ge profile. The cut-off frequency and BC gain are increased from 42GHz to 84GHz and from 200 to 600, respectively.

In this paper, A fuzzy logic based turn-off angle compensator for torque ripple reduction in a linear switched reluctance motor is proposed. The turn-off angle, as a complex function of motor speed and current, is automatically changed for a wide speed range to reduce torque ripple. Simulation results are presented that show ripple reduction when the turn-off angle compensator is used.
