This paper presents a novel switching pattern current control (SP-CC) scheme, which is applied in three-phase voltage-source converters (VSCs). This scheme can select the optimal output switching pattern (SP) by referring the basic principle of space vector modulation (SVM). Moreover, SP-CC is a method without a carrier wave. Thus, the implementation process is concise and easy. When compared with the conventional hysteresis current control (C-HCC) and the space vector-based hysteresis current control (SV-HCC), the SP-CC has the performances of faster dynamic response of C-HCC and less switching number (SN) of SV-HCC. In addition, it has less harmonic contents in the three-phase current, along with a lower switching loss and a higher efficiency. Moreover, the hysteresis bandwidth and Clarke conversion are not required in the SP-CC. The effectiveness of the presented SP-CC is verified by simulation and experimental test results. In addition, the advantages of the SP-CC, when compared with the C-HCC and SV-HCC, are verified as well.

The planning accuracy of charged particle therapy (CPT) is subject to the accuracy of stopping power (SP) estimation. In this study, we propose a method of deriving a pseudo-triple-energy CT (pTECT) that can be achievable in the existing dual-energy CT (DECT) systems for better SP estimation. In order to remove the direct effect of errors in CT values, relative CT values according to three scanning voltage settings were used. CT values of each tissue substitute phantom were measured to show the non-linearity of the values thereby suggesting the absolute difference and ratio of CT values as parameters for SP estimation. Electron density, effective atomic number (EAN), mean excitation energy and SP were calculated based on these parameters. Two of conventional methods were implemented and compared to the proposed pTECT method in terms of residuals, absolute error and root-mean-square-error (RMSE). The proposed method outperformed the comparison methods in every evaluation metrics. Especially, the estimation error for EAN and mean excitation using pTECT were converging to zero. In this proof-of-concept study, we showed the feasibility of using three CT values for accurate SP estimation. Our suggested pTECT method indicates potential clinical utility of spectral CT imaging for CPT planning.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of low power laser irradiation on Substance P(SP) expression in the burned skin of the rats. Burns of about 3cm in diameter were created with $75^{\cric}C$ water on the back of the rats, and the lesion of experimental group were irradiated on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 postwounding. Control leasions were not irradiated. After burns, low power laser irradiation was applied by using 1000Hz, 830nm GaAlAs(Gallium-aluminum-arsenide) semiconductor diode laser. The expression of evaluated Substance P(SP) immunohistochemistry on rabbit anti-SP The results of this study wereas follows 1. The Substance P was expressed in the lamina I and II of dorsal horn of spinal cord. In expression of SP, the lesion of control group made SP to more induce significantly than experimental leasions. 2. SP immunoreactivity in burned leasion of spinal cord were decreased markedly 4 days after burns, and decreased gradually from 1 day to 2 days in burns which is laser irradiation These data suggest that low power laser have a pain release effect in the burned skin of the rats.

광대역 고출력 SP3T MMIC GaAs PIN 다이오드 스위치를 설계, 제작하고 특성을 측정하였다. 전력단속능력을 개선시키기 위하여 다이오드의 버퍼층을 저온 버퍼와 초격자 버퍼로 이루어진 2층 구조로 설계하였다. 개발된 다이오드의 항복전압은 65V이고 순방향 정압강하는 1.3V 이었다. MMIC 스위치는 마이크로스트립 라인형으로 구현되었고 인덕턴스가 낮은 via hole 공정을 이용하여 신호를 접지하였다. 평면형 구조보다 더 낮은 기생성분과 진성영역에서 고품질을 갖는 수직형 에피텍셜 PIN 구조를 사용하여 우수한 마이크로파 성능을 얻었다. 제작된 SP3T 스위치의 고출력 특성은 14.5GHz CW에서 입력전력을 8dBm부터 32dBM 까지 증가시킬 때 삽입손실은 0.6dB보다 작은, 분리도는 50dB보다 크게 측정되었다.

HiPIMS(High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering)를 이용하여 탄소 박막을 증착하였다. 파워, 압력, 바이어스 전압, duty cycle에 따른 탄소 박막의 특성과 미세조직을 조사하였다. HiPIMS 파워가 증가할수록 증착 두께는 증가하였으며 표면이 거칠어지는 경향을 보였다. 압력의 증가 또한 표면이 거칠어지는 경향을 보였으나 증착 두께는 압력에 비례하지 않았다. 바이어스 전압이 증가함에 따라 조도가 나빠졌고 증착 두께는 증가하다가 임계 바이어스 전압부터는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 듀티 사이클의 변화는 아크 발생과 같은 문제를 유발했으며 이는 챔버 구조나 타겟의 크기 등에 영향을 받는다. XPS로 $sp^2/sp^3$ 분율을 확인하였으며 $sp^2/sp^3$ 분율이 DC 스퍼터링의 경우보다 HiPIMS의 경우가 더 큰 것을 확인하였다.

Biosorption represents a technological innovation as well as a cost effective excellent remediation technology for cleaning up radionuclides from aqueous environment. In the present study, a bacteria strain FB12 with high adsorption rate of uranium ion was isolated from the vicinity of the nuclear power plant. It was tentatively identified as Bacillus sp.FB12 according to the 16S rDNA sequencing. Efforts were made to further improve the adsorption rate and genetic stability by UV irradiation and UV-LiCl cooperative mutagenesis. The improved strain named Bacillus sp.UV32 obtains excellent genetic stability and a high adsorption rate of 95.9%. The adsorption of uranium U (VI) by Bacillus sp.UV32 from aqueous solution was examined as a function of metal ion concentration, cell concentration, adsorption time, pH, temperature, and the presence of some foreign ions. The adsorption process of U (VI) was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The adsorption isotherm study indicated that it preferably followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The thermodynamic parameters values calculated clearly indicated that the adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous and endothermic in nature. These properties show that Bacillus sp.UV32 has potential application in the removal of uranium (VI) from the radioactive wastewater.

This paper proposes an initial rotor polarity detection algorithm of a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (SP-PMSM) related to stable open-loop starting for sensorless operation. Generally, the SP-PMSM needs an asymmetric air-gap structure to can avoid the initial starting failure at zero torque point. Therefore, the rotor polarity information can be obtained by using the DC offset current direction of a stator current through a high frequency voltage injection into an SP-PMSM with an asymmetric air gap. In this paper, the proposed rotor initial polarity detection algorithm is verified through several experimental results.
