A source meter is a basic instrument to perform a measurement of DC characteristic of semiconductor devices. the source meter can be used as variable voltage source, variable current source, voltage meter, or current meter. The accuracy of the low current measurement can be improved with the compensation of leakage current and charge and discharge current. In the low current measurement, the RC time constant is extremely big, so the measurement speed is very low. In this thesis, the analysis of the behavior of the measurement current according to the RC time constant and output capacitance and the method to accelerate the measurement speed.

The precise measurement of consumed power during the given time is very important in the energy management aspect. Up to days, induction watthour meter has been designed for use in the alternating circuits in which the voltage and current are essentially sinusoidal. The use of switching elements in power system causes the current or voltage involving harmonics. Therefore the registration error is caused by harmonics in the equipment for measuring power. This paper presents the registration error of the induction watthour meter in the presence of harmonic distortion. The accuracy of a watthour meter on loads in which the input source is not sinusoidal is investigated. And the effects of individual harmonic are reported by experiment.

These days global warming is the most important problem and the most important factor is high emission of carbon dioxide. The 23% of carbon dioxide emission for building construction must be reduced. Thermal conductivity is the most basic factor that can decrease the energy consumption especially insulation. Therefore, an accurate and continuous thermal conductivity measurement can be a way to save energy. In this paper, there are methods about how to investigate thermal conductivity measurements and comparing two methods which are the Heat Flow Meter 436 and TCi.

Meter reading modules, which read the meter and transmit the data to water management offices, can't use the electric wires for their power supply. Therefore, batteries have to be used for meter reading modules and that cause maintenance problems like periodic batteries replacement. To save the maintenance cost, a wireless transmitting solution with less power consumption is required. In This paper, we designed a remote meter reading module, which reads meter automatically with less power consumption of battery by effective management of power source and transmits the reading data using RF.

The use of Switching elements in power systems causes the current or voltage to involve harmonic waves. Harmonics bring about registration errors of the equipment for measuring power. In case the induction watthour meter designed on sinusoidal source is used in the measurement of power with harmonics, the precise measurement of power has many problems because harmonics cause a decrease of power factor and vibration by the unstable driving force on the aluminum disc. In this paper, analysis and test results on the harmonic sensitivity of an induction watthour meter is reported when the input voltage and current with harmonics were supplied to single-phase watthour meter.

Ozone has been a problem in big cities. That is secondary air pollutant produced by nitrogen oxide and VOCs in the atmosphere. In order to solve this, the first to be the analysis of the $NO_x$ and VOCs. The main source of nitrogen oxide is the road mobile. Industrial sources in Seoul are particularly low, and mobile traffics on roads are large, so 45% of total $NO_x$ are estimated that road mobile emissions in Seoul. Thus, it is necessary to clarify the relation with the activity of road mobile source and $NO_x$ concentration. In this study, we analyzed the 4 locations with roadside automatic monitoring systems in their center. The V.K.T. calculating areas are set in circles with 50 meter spacing, 50 meter to 500 meter from their center. We assumed the total V.K.T. in the set radius affect the $NO_x$ concentration in the center. We used the hourly $NO_x$ concentrations data for the 4 observation points in July for the interference of the other sources are minimized. We used the intersection traffic survey data of all direction for construction of the V.K.T. data, the mobile activities on the roads. ArcGIS application was used for calculating the length of roads in the set radius. The V.K.T. data are multiplied by segment traffic volume and length of roads. As a result, the $NO_x$ concentration can be expressed as linear function formula for V.K.T. with high predictive power. Moreover we separated background concentration and concentrations due to road mobile source. These results can be used for forecasting the effect of traffic demand management plan.

Purpose: The aim of study is to find accuracy of pocket dosimeter in measuring exposed dose in compared with survey meter and to compare exposed dose according as Nuclear medicine exams. Materials and Method: First, radiation dose to point source(185 MBq,370 MBq, ${\ldots}$, 1665 MBq, 1850 MBq) were measured in using a pocket dosimeter and a survey meter. Second, radiation dose to 12 patients injected $^{18}F$-FDG 370 MBq were measured in using a pocket dosimeter and a survey meter. Third, radiation dose to 10 patients injected $^{99m}Tc$-DPD 925 MBq were measured in using a pocket dosimeter and a surveymeter.

Generally, the flow hunting is observed in almost all of the orifice meters but the intensity of the flow hunting is different at each metering system. In order to investigate the relations between pipe diameter and the flow instability or the flow hunting in a real metering system, a one-dimensional pipeline network model was built and analyzed for the examination of flow characteristics and relations to the flow hunting, changing diameters of the meter and the pipes before and after the meter. Finally, the effects of pressuredifference variation and flow hunting following to the variations of the diameters of the meter and the pipes before and after the meter were investigated and the relations were examined as well.

A tobacco ripeness grading meter was designed and constructed using the color sensor, its performance was evaluated. A degree of ripeness grading of a leaf is very closely related to the measured tobacco leaf color. Measuring the small amount of the reflectance precisely depends on the apparatus including color sensor, light source, detector sensitivity, and geometric characteristics of appratus. To analyze and minimize the variational effects, experiments to select the proper condition were performed. Because of the combined effect mentioned above, the system has some variation on its response. Basis on the results of the experiments, prototype was developed and interfaced to a computer system. The main components of prototype included a tungsten lamp as a light source, Amorphous full color sensor with three filters, regulated D.C. power supply, OP - AMP(741 TC) for amplification, AR - B3001 board for interfacing to a computer with analog to digital conversion, and a compatible IBM PC XT computer. The experimental results of the developed ripeness tobacco leaf measurement system are summarized as following: [1] The output readings of ripeness grade meter for tobacco leaf, which is based on harvesting time, showed the apparent difference in variety of different quality. It was considered suitable that three filters(red, green, blue) in Amorphous full color sensor could be used in four different ripeness degree measurement of tobacco leaf. [2] The output readings of ripeness grade meter for tobacco leaf, which is based on government procurement, showed apparent difference in variety of different quality. Tobacco leaf varieties to stalk position are divided into tips, leaf, cutters, and primings, It is considered suitable that only red filter in the sensor could be used to classify the grade of tobacco leaf within the same kind tobacco stalk. However, the ripeness grade meter was not adequate to classify all the tobacco grades in the four different tobacco leaves.
