As a cathode material of lithium rechargeable batteries, charged Li[Co0.1Ni0.15Li0.2Mn0.55]O2 electrodes, which were aged thermally at 25 oC and 90 oC respectively, were characterized by means of charge/discharger, impedance spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The discharge capacity diminution of the electrodes aged at 25 oC and 90 oC for 1 week was 4% and 23%, respectively. The cell aged at 25 oC was recovered on cycling. However, the capacity loss after ageing at 90 oC was not recovered in a subsequent cycling test, which demonstrates that the reaction occurring during ageing at 90 oC is irreversible. A significant impedance increase of aged electrode at 90 oC is associated with irreversible capacity loss. The structural changes including phase transformation were not detected by XRD analysis, because it could be due to out of detection limit. After ageing, impedance was slightly decreased during subsequent cycling test. It could be explained the cyclic performance of aged sample is stable. The thermal stability was not deteriorated by ageing even at the high temperature of 90 oC.

마멸전극기법과 교류 임피던스법으로 스테인리스강의 합금원소, Cr, Mo, N가 합금의 재부동태 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Fe-Cr, Fe-Cr-Mo, 304, 304LN, 316, 316LN등의 스테인리스강을 시편으로 사용하였으며 각 합금의 부동태 피막의 전기화학적 특성은 in-situ시험 기법인 d.c와 a.c전기화학적 기법을 각각 이용하였다 스테인리스강이 국부부식에 대하여 강한 저항성을 가지려면 부식 환경에서도 치밀한 부동태 피막을 유지해야 하고 피막의 파괴가 발생하더라도 재부동태 속도가 빨라야 하기 때문에 합금원소가 시간에 따른 재부동태 전류밀도와 재부동태 속도에 미치는 영향을 마멸 전극 시험법과 교류 임피던스 시험법으로 알아보았다. 부동태 피막의 안정성, 재부동태 속도 그리고 합금원소 사이의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 실험결과를 분석하였다.

This paper presents the feasibility of an impedance-based damage detection technique using piezoelectric (PZT) transducers for civil infrastructures such as steel bridges. The impedance-based damage detection method is based on monitoring the changes in the electrical impedance. Those changes in the electrical impedance are due to the electro-mechanical coupling property of the piezoelectric material and structure. An effective integrated structural health monitoring system must include a statistical process of damage detection that is automated and real time assessment of damage in the structure. Once measured, damage sensitive features from this impedance change can be statistically quantified for various damage cases. The results of the experimental study on three kinds of structural members show that cracks or loosened bolts/nuts near the PZT sensors may be effectively detected by monitoring the shifts of the resonant frequencies. The root mean square (RMS) deviations of impedance functions between before and after damages were also considered as a damage indicator. The subsequent statistical methods using the impedance signature of the PZT sensors were investigated.

본 논문에서는 12.5 Gbps의 전송 속도를 갖는 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터(high-speed serial interface connector)의 설계 및 분석 방법을 제안한다. 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터는 다양한 매질로 구성되며, 내부 선로도 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있으므로, 선로의 불연속 부분의 각각을 임피던스 정합하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 커넥터의 각 부분을 단순화한 커넥터 라인(connector line)의 구조를 제안하였으며, 이 구조에서 R, L, C, G 파라미터를 추출하고 차동 모드 임피던스를 분석하며, TDT(Time Domain Transmissometry)와 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)을 이용하여 임피던스 불연속(impedance discontinuity)을 최소화 하는 방법을 제시한다. 본 논문은 단순화한 커넥터 라인에서 추출된 분석 방법 및 결과를 고속 직렬 인터페이스 커넥터에 적용하였다. 제안한 커넥터는 총 44개의 핀(pin)으로 구성되며, 본 논문에서는 4개의 핀의 폭과 간격을 변경하여 신호 전달 특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 접지 핀의 폭이 증가할수록 임피던스는 소폭으로 감소하고, 접지핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격이 증가할수록 임피던스가 증가했다. 또한, 신호 핀의 폭을 증가시키면 임피던스가 감소하며, 신호 핀과 신호 핀 사이의 간격을 늘리면 임피던스가 증가하였다. 최초 커넥터 임피던스 특성은 $96{\sim}139{\Omega}$ 사이에서 변화되는 값을 나타내었으나, 제안된 커넥터 구조를 적용했을 때 임피던스 특성은 $92.6{\sim}107.5{\Omega}$ 사이의 값으로 나타나, 설계 목표 $100{\Omega}{\pm}10%$를 만족함을 보였다.

Quartz crystal in contact with viscoelastic medium was described directly in terms of the electrical equivalent circuit of the system. Stearic acid was used as viscoelastic medium and deposited on the surface of quartz crystal using the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. Impedance properties of quartz crystal coated with LB films which were investigated by using admittance diagram and $Ζ-\theta$ plot a method of impedance analysis. When stearic acid LB film was deposited on the surface of quartz crystal, resonant frequency of quartz crystal was changed about 100 Hz/layer. This result illustrates the ability of the sensor system to detect small amounts of special gas in air.

This paper presents the transient impedance behaviors of grounding systems to lightning impulse current. The potential rise and effective impulse ground impedance of the test grounding electrodes were measured as a function of the rise time of impulse currents and lengths of down conductor. The transient ground impedances strongly depend on the configuration and size of grounding electrodes, the impulse current shapes and lengths of down conductor, and the inductance of reduce of grounding electrode inductance is an important factor to improve the transient ground impedance.

A high impedance fault(HIF) in a power system could be due to a downed conductor, and is a dangerous situation because the current may be too small to be detected by conventional means. In this paper, HIF(High impedance fault) and LIF(Low impedance fault) detection methods were reviewed. No single defection method can detect all electrical conditions resulting from downed conductor faults, because high impedance fault have arc phenomena, asymmetry and randomness. Neural network are well-suited for solving difficult signal processing and pattern recognition problem. This paper presents the application of artificial neural network(ANN) to detect the HIF and LIF. Test results show that the neural network was able to identify the high impedance fault by real-time operation. Furthermore, neural network was able to discriminate the HIF from the LIF.

교류 임피던스법을 사용하여 온도, 부하전위 및 전극내 테프론 함량에 따른 인산형 연료전지의 산소전극 반응의 특성을 연구하였다. $105wt.\%$ 인산에서 산소 전극의 임피던스 거동은 전극 계면 저항, 전극 계면 캐패스턴스 및 전해질 저항으로 이루어진 간단히 회로로 특징지어지고, 이것으로부터 구한 인산의 전기전도도는 $130\~190^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 0.31-0.47 S/cm 로 나타났다. 부하전위와 온도가 증가함에 따라 산소극의 계면저항은 감소하였으나 산소극의 계면 캐패스턴스는 증가하였으며, 이것은 산소극의 반응속도와 전극의 계면 임피던스가 직접적인 관계를 가진다는 것을 의미한다. 테프론 함량에 따른 인산형 연료전지 단전지의 성능을 조사하여 임피던스 측정결과와 비교하였으며, $40wt.\%$에서 최대 성능을 나타내었고, 이것은 산소극의 계면 임피던스 값이 최적 상태를 나타내었기 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 결과들이 전극의 3상계면 상태와 연관지어 토의되었다.

Bioelectrical impedance (BI) at popliteal regions was measured using a bioelectrical impedance measurement system (BIMS), which employs the multi-frequency and the two-electrode method. Experiments were performed as follows. First, a constant AC current of $800{\mu}A$ was applied to the popliteal regions (left and right) and the BI was measured at eight different frequencies from 10 to 500 kHz. When the applied frequency greater than 50 kHz was applied to human's popliteal regions, the BI was decreased significantly. Logarithmic plot of impedance vs. frequency indicated two different mechanisms in the impedance phenomena before and after 50 kHz. Second, the relationship between resistance and reactance was obtained with respect to the applied frequency using BI (resistance and reactance) acquired from the popliteal regions. The phase angle (PA) was found to be strongly dependent on frequency. At 50 kHz, the PA at the right popliteal region was $7.8^{\circ}$ slightly larger than $7.6^{\circ}$ at the left popliteal region. Third, BI values of extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) were calculated using BIMS. At 10 kHz, the BI values of ECF at the left and right popliteal regions were $1664.14{\Omega}$ and $1614.08{\Omega}$, respectively. The BI values of ECF and ICF decreased sharply in the frequency range of 10 to 50 kHz, and gradually decreased up to 500 kHz. Logarithmic plot of BI vs. frequency shows that the BI of ICF decreased noticeably at high frequency above 300 kHz because of a large decrease in the capacitance of the cell membrane.

For many stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation therapy, there is a need for indicator for evaluating the body function in paretic and non-paretic regions of stroke patients quantitatively. In this paper, the function of muscles and cells in paretic and non-paretic regions of severe and mild hemiplegic stroke patients was evaluated using multi-channel bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. The paretic and non-paretic regions of severe and mild stroke patients were quantitatively assessed by using bioelectrical impedance parameters such as prediction marker (PM), phase angle (${\theta}$), characteristic frequency ($f_c$), and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA). The mean values of impedance vector were significantly discriminated in all comparisons (severe-paretic, severe-non-paretic, mild-paretic, and mild-non-paretic). The bioelectrical impedance parameters were proved to be a very valuable tool for quantitatively evaluating the paretic and non-paretic regions of hemiplegic stroke patients.
