A new bioelectrical impedance method has been developed and evaluated. The electrodes; were made of stainless steel and electrical interfaces were created by an upright subject gripping hand electrodes and stepping onto foot electrodes. Eight tactile electrodes were in contact with surfaces of both hands and feet; thumb, palm and fingers, front sole, and rear sole. Automatic on-off switches were used to change current pathways and to measure voltage differences for target segments. Segmental body resistances and whole body resistance(RWHOLE)were measured in 60 healthy subjects. Segmental resistances of right arm(RRA), left arm(RLA), trunk(RT), right leg(RRL) and left leg(RLL)were310.0$\pm$61.6$\Omega$, 316.9$\pm$64.6$\Omega$, 25.1$\pm$3.4$\Omega$, 236.8$\pm$31.2$\Omega$ and 237.6$\pm$30.4$\Omega$, respectively. Individual segmental impedance indexes(Ht2/RRA, Ht2/RT, and Ht2 /RLA) were closely related to lean body mass(LBM)as measured by densitometry ranged from r=0.925 to 0.960. Ht2/(RRA+RT+RLA) predicted LBM slightly better(r=0.969) than the traditional index, Ht2/RWHOLE(r=0.964), supporting the accuracy of the segmental measurement. A multiple regression equation utilizing Ht2/RRA, Ht2/RT and Ht2/RRL predicted LBM with r=0.971. Ht2/RRA term of the regression contributed to more than 40$\%$ of the LBM prediction, indicating that lean mass of arm represented whole body LBM more closely than other body segments. The new bioimpedance method was characterized by upright posture, eight tactile electrodes, segmental measurements and utilization of electronic switches in comparison with the traditional method. The measurement with this new method was extremely reproducible, quick and easy to use.

In the previous work, we have proposed an integrate-and-fire neuron circuit and synaptic device based on the floating body MOSFET [1-3]. Integrate-and-Fire(I&F) neuron circuit emulates the biological neuron characteristics such as integration, threshold triggering, output generation, refractory period using floating body MOSFET. The synaptic device has short-term and long-term memory in a single silicon device. In this paper, we connect the neuron circuit and the synaptic device using current mirror circuit for summation of post synaptic pulses. We emulate spike-timing-dependent-plasticity (STDP) characteristics of the synapse using feedback voltage without controller or clock. Using memory device in the logic circuit, we can emulate biological synapse and neuron with a small number of devices.

In recent society, the quality of human life has improved due to the use of electric appliances and the high powered electrical equipments. However, lots of electric appliances and equipments generate the electromagnetic field hazard. Many studies have been made about the wrong behavior of machines due to electromagnetic fields, the interferences in communication equipments, the possibility of the electromagnetic field hazard in human body, etc. There exist international standards about the RF equipments (ex. mobile phone, antenna, etc.). But, many researchers involved in power frequency electric and magnetic field only propose the prudential avoidance. In this paper, induced currents in a human body model due to magnetic fields in high speed railway are calculated by two dimensional impedance method. Power frequency(60Hz) magnetic fields are calculated and induced currents are simulated by Faraday's law. Induced currents are simulated with induced voltage, human body model impedances due to Ohm's law, magnetic fields derived from Biot-Savart's law and Transmission Line Method in high speed railway.

본 논문에서는 MCU 내장형 1.5V 단일전원 256Kb EEPROM IP는 배터리 응용을 위해 설계되었다. 기존의 body-potential 바이어싱 회로를 사용하는 cross-coupled VPP (Boosted Voltage) 전하펌프회로는 erase와 program 모드에서 빠져나올 때 5V cross-coupled PMOS 소자에 8.53V의 고전압이 걸리면서 junction breakdown이나 gate oxide breakdown에 의해 소자가 파괴될 수 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 cross-coupled 전하펌프회로의 출력 노드는 VDD로 프리차징시키는 동시에 펌핑 노드들을 각 펌핑 단의 입력전압으로 프리차징하므로 5V PMOS 소자에 5.5V 이상의 고전압이 걸리지 않도록 하므로 breakdown이 일어나는 것을 방지하였다. 한편 256Kb을 erase하거나 program하는 시간을 줄이기 위해 all erase, even program, odd program과 all program 모드를 지원하고 있다. 또한 cell disturb 테스트 시간을 줄이기 위해 cell disturb 테스트 모드를 이용하여 256Kb EEPROM 셀의 disturb를 한꺼번에 인가하므로 disturb 테스트 시간을 줄였다. 마지막으로 이 논문에서는 erase-verify-read 모드에서 40ns의 cycle 시간을 만족하기 위해 CG disable 시간이 빠른 CG 구동회로는 새롭게 제안되었다.

A terminal pin, which is a part of high-voltage capacitors, has a head section of plate-shaped geometry with 0.8 thickness. The current manufacturing process, in which the head section is welded on the body part, has given wide deviations of part qualities such as geometrical accuracy, mechanical strength and electrical stability. In this paper, a cold forging process sequence was designed in order to produce the terminal pin as one piece. The plate-shaped head section requires an upsetting in the lateral direction of a cylindrical billet, which is followed by a blanking process. The deformed geometry of the upsetting, however, could not be predicted precisely by intuition since metal flows of an axial and a lateral direction of the cylindrical billet would occur simultaneously. Therefore, the geometry of the initial billet was determined by three dimensional finite element analysis in order to avoid defects in blanking process and intermediate forging processes were designed by applying design rules and two dimensional FE analysis. In addition, cold forging tryouts were conducted by using the die sets which were manufactured based on the designed process sequence.

Even if smoke, fumes, mist or dust particles are removed by electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), the occurrence of ozone, which is harmful to human body, has to be severely restricted in the indoor environments of hospitals, offices, and workshops. Therefore, the two-stage ESP generating positive corona at the ionizer is typically used because it creates less ozone than the two-stage ESP generating negative corona at the ionizer. In order to predict the collection performance and the optimal design of the two-stage ESP applied to positive high-voltage, particle concentration is experimentally investigated in this paper. In addition, particle motion within the collector section is also numerically analyzed. The positive corona discharge current of the ionizer is found to be affected by the applied voltage in the collector section but less so by the particle concentration. Particle concentration shows a minimum near the high voltage electrode of the collector section. The minimum value of the collection efficiency is almost proportional to gas velocity. When the collector length decreases, the minimum value of the collection efficiency increases. Charged particles entering the collector region are linearly deflected towards the grounded plate by an electric field. From the above experimental and numerical results, two empirical equations on the concentration ratio and the collection efficiency are derived, and are in good agreement with the experimental data.

The fuse used in the high voltage distribution line often fails due to the active ionization caused by the strong electric field at fuse terminal. To suppress the ionization at the high voltage and high capacity current limiting fuse, the particle size and compactness of silica sand, the design, length, notch number and material of element, the diameter and length of fuse body must be considered carefully. However, these are not many proper which is treated with the inherent interrupting characteristics from many parameters at present. Because of these reasons, time and effort are needed to develop the new type fuse by the fuse designers in relation with the inherent characteristics from each of parameters. In this paper we choose 7 parameters with weight value based on study and experimentation and analyzed the characteristics of arcing period. In addition, we proposed the experimental method to experimentation and analyzed the characteristics of arcing period. In addition, we proposed the experimental method to extract the optimal design parameters with minimal effort as related the mutual effect from each of the parameters.
