This paper presents a new method for controlling the current of lighting LEDs without current sensors. This method can be used as backup against LED current sensor faults. LED lighting requires a circuit with a constant current in order to maintain the same brightness when the ambient temperature changes. Therefore, we propose a new current estimation method to provide backup in case of current sensor faults based on the calculation of the inductor current. In the fabricated circuit, the average current changes from 144.03 mA to 155.97 mA when the ambient temperature changes from 0℃ to 60℃. The application of this study can enable the fabrication of a driving IC for LEDs in the form of a single chip without sensing resistors. This is expected to reduce the complexity of the peripheral circuit and enable precise feedback control.

The effects of bulbocapnine, an aporphine isoquinoline alkaloid, on dopamine content in PC12 cells were investigated. Bulbocapnine decreased the dopamine content dose-dependentl y (39.2% inhibition at 2O${\mu}$M for 24 hr). The $IC_{50}$ value of bulbocapnine was 22.7${\mu}$M. Dopamine content was lowered at 6 hr after exposure to bulbocapnine. And then, the decreased dopamine level was almost maintained at 36 hr and recovered to the control level at about 60 hr. Tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate limiting enzyme in the catecholamine blosynthetic pathway, was also inhibited at 20${\mu}$M of bulbocapnine by 23.1% relative to control. We, therefore, hypothesized that the inhibition of tyrosine hydroxylase by bulbocapnine with a single treatment might be partially contributed to the decrease in dopamine content in PC12 cells.

This paper compares two types of direct torque controllers for permanent magnet synchronous motors(PMSMs). These controllers both use a single-chip FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) but have differing hardware configurations. One of the controllers was constructed by programming a soft-core CPU and hardware logic circuits written in VHDL(Very high speed IC Hardware Description Language), while the other was constructed of only hardware logic circuits. The characteristics of these two controllers were compared in this paper. The results show the controller constructed of only hardware logic circuits was able to shorten the control period and it was able to suppress the low torque ripple.

목적: 본 연구에서는 지르코니아 수복물의 접착에 사용되는 레진 시멘트의 파괴인성을 측정하고 각 레진 시멘트의 다양한 수중 보관 기간이 파괴 인성에 미치는 영향에 관하여 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: 세가지 종류의 레진 시멘트(Panavia F2.0, Clearfil SA luting, Zirconite)를 사용하여 single edge notched 형태의 시편($3mm{\times}6mm{\times}25mm$)을 제작하였다. 각 시편은 $37^{\circ}C$ 증류수에서 1일 (대조군), 30일, 90일, 180일 동안 보관하였다 (n=5). 만능시험기를 이용하여 0.1 mm/s 속도로 삼점굽힘 시험을 시행하고, 파절 시의 최대하중으로 파괴인성($K_{IC}$)을 계산하였다. 측정값은 일원분산분석과 다중분석을 위한 $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test를 사용하였고, 유의수준은 0.05로 하였다. 결과: 대조군에서 Panavia F2.0가 $3.41{\pm}0.64MN{\cdot}m^{-1.5}$로 가장 높은 $K_{IC}$를 보였으며 Zirconite가 $3.07{\pm}0.41MN{\cdot}m^{-1.5}$, Clearfil SA luting이 $2.58{\pm}0.30MN{\cdot}m^{-1.5}$으로 가장 낮은 $K_{IC}$를 보였으나, 재료간에 유의성 있는 차이는 없었다. 수중보관 기간이 증가함에 따라 Panavia F2.0의 값은 감소였고, Clearfil SA luting과 Zirconite는 증가하였으나, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론: 지르코니아 수복물 전용 레진 시멘트의 파괴인성은 다른 일반 시멘트에 비해 대체로 높으며, 이러한 파괴인성은 수중 보관에 영향을 받지 않는다.

This paper presents an improved single-stage ac-dc LED-drive flyback converter using the transformer-coupled lossless (TCL) snubber. The proposed converter is derived from the integration of a full-bridge diode rectifier and a conventional flyback converter with a simple TCL snubber. The TCL snubber circuit is composed of only two diodes, a capacitor, and a transformer-coupled auxiliary winding. The TCL snubber limits the surge voltage of the switch and regenerates the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. Also, the switch of the proposed converter is turned on at a minimum voltage using a formed resonant circuit. Thus, the proposed converter achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter utilizes only one general power factor correction (PFC) control IC as its controller and performs both PFC and output power regulation, simultaneously. Therefore, the proposed converter provides a simple structure and an economic implementation and achieves a high power factor without the need for any separate PFC circuit. In this paper, the operational principle of the proposed converter is explained in detail and the design guideline of the proposed converter is briefly shown. Experimental results for a 40-W prototype are shown to validate the performance of the proposed converter.

In this study, the effects of single and binary heavy metals toxicity on the growth and phosphorus removal ability of Bacillus sp.. known as be a phosphorus-removing microorganism, were quantitatively evaluated. Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni were used as heavy metals. As a result of analysis of variance of the half of inhibition concentration and half of effective concentration for each single heavy metal treatment group, the inhibitory effect on the growth of Bacillus sp. was Ni < Pb < Zn < Cu < Cd. And the inhibitory effect on phosphorus removal by Bacillus sp. was Ni < Pb < Zn < Cu < Cd. When analyzing the correlation between growth inhibition and phosphorus removal efficiency of a single heavy metal treatment group, a negative correlation was found (R² = 0.815), and a positive correlation was found when the correlation between IC₅₀ and EC₅₀ was analyzed (R² = 0.959). In all binary heavy metal treatment groups, the interaction was an antagonistic effect when evaluated using the additive toxicity index method. This paper is considered to be basic data on the toxic effects of heavy metals when phosphorus is removed using phosphorus removal microorganisms in wastewater.

A single-stage flyback LED AC-DC converter based on primary-side control under constant current mode is proposed in this study. The proposed converter features low total harmonic distortion (THD) and high power factor (PF). It also consists of a zero-crossing distortion compensation circuit and a variable duty ratio control compensation circuit to deal with the line current distortions caused by fixed duty ratio control. The system model and layout are built in Simplis and Cadence, respectively. The feasibility and performance of the proposed circuit is verified by designing and fabricating an IC controller in the HHNEC $0.35{\mu}m$ 5 V/40 V HVCMOS process. Experimental results show that the PF can reach a level in the range of 0.985-0.9965. Moreover, the average THD of the entire system is approximately 10%, with the minimum being 6.305%, as the input line voltage changes from 85 VAC to 265 VAC.

This paper proposes a fully sensorless driver for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) integrated with a digital motor controller and an analog pre-driver, including sensing circuits and estimators. In the motor controller, a position estimator estimates the back electromotive force and rotor position using a sliding-mode observer. In the pre-driver, drivers for the power devices are designed with a level shifter and isolation technique. In addition, a current sensing circuit measures a three-phase current. All of these circuits are integrated in a single chip such that the driver achieves control of the speed with high accuracy. Using an IC fabricated using a $0.18{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process, the performance was verified experimentally. The driver showed stable operation in spite of the variation in speed and load, a similar efficiency near 1% compared to a commercial driver, a low speed error of about 0.1%, and therefore good performance for the PMSM drive.
