Surge protective devices(SPDs) are widely used as a most effective means protecting the electrical and electronic equipment against overvoltages such as lightning and switching surges. When installing SPDs, it is essential that the voltage protection level provided by SPDs should be lower than the withstand voltage of the equipment being protected. But even the proper selection of SPDs are achieved, the voltage at the equipment terminal may be higher than the residual voltage of SPD due to the reflection and oscillation phenomena. This paper was focused on the investigations of the conditions for which the equipment is protected by an SPD taking into account the influences of the protective distance and type of load. The protective effects of SPD with voltage-limiting component were analyzed as functions of types of load and protective distance between the SPD and load. As a result, in the cases of long protective distances, capacitive loads and loads with high resistance, the voltage at the load terminal was significantly higher than the residual voltage of SPD. It was found that the proper installation of SPDs should be carried out by taking into account the protective distance and type of load to achieve reliable protection of electronic equipments against surges.

To study the frequency response characteristics of alternating-current-driven organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), we fabricated blue-fluorescent OLEDs and analyzed their electroluminescent characteristics according to the alternating current voltage and frequency. The luminance-frequency characteristics of alternating-current-driven OLED was similar to that of a low-pass filter, and the luminance of high-voltage OLED decreased at higher frequency than low-voltage OLED. The luminance characteristics of the OLED according to the frequency is due to the capacitive reactance in the OLED, generated during the alternating current driving. The frequency response characteristics of the OLED according to the voltage is due to the decrease in internal resistance of the organic layer. In addition, the negative voltage component of the alternating current did not affect the frequency response of the OLED. Therefore, the electroluminescent characteristics of OLED with an alternating current power of 60 Hz are not influenced by the frequency.

본 논문에서는 300kHz 이상의 주파수를 사용하는 고전압펄스의 출력이득을 증폭시키는 방법에 대하여 고찰하였다. 종래의 파워스테이지의 전압을 상승시켜 펄스진폭(Pulse-amplitude)을 증폭하는 방식 대신에, 부하의 용량성분과 회로의 기생성분간의 공진을 이용하여 출력이득을 증폭하는 방식으로 연구가 진행되었다. 특히 브릿지형 대신에 Flyback Topology를 적용을 통하여 회로구성을 간소화하고, 출력펄스파형에 출력전극의 용량성분을 부여함에 따라 부하에 가해지는 출력전압의 이득을 증폭시킴으로써, 하드스위칭을 통한 출력회로 내에서의 과부하 및 발열에 따른 손상을 막을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 해당연구는 의료 및 산업용가열분야에 적용되는 유전가열 방식의 접촉형 가열기기의 공간적, 전기적 효율을 제고할 수 있는 한 방법을 제시한다.

This paper presents two new circuit topologies of the dc busline side active resonant snubber assisted voltage source high frequency link soft switching PWM full-bridge dc-dc power converters acceptable for either utility ac 200V-rms or ac 400V-rms input grid. These high frequency switching dc-dc converters proposed in this paper are composed of a typical voltage source-fed full-bridge PWM inverter, high frequency transformer with center tap, high frequency diode rectifier with inductor input filter and dc busline side series switches with the aid of a dc busline parallel capacitive lossless snubber. All the active switches in the full-bridge arms as well as dc busline snubber can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off transition commutation with the aid of a transformer leakage inductive component and consequently the total switching power losses can be effectively reduced. So that, a high switching frequency operation of IGBTs in the voltage source full bridge inverter can be actually designed more than about 20 kHz. It is confirmed that the more the switching frequency of full-bridge soft switching inverter increases, the more soft switching PWM dc-dc converter with a high frequency transformer link has remarkable advantages for its power conversion efficiency and power density implementations as compared with the conventional hard switching PWM inverter type dc-dc power converter. The effectiveness of these new dc-dc power converter topologies can be proved to be more suitable for low voltage and large current dc-dc power supply as arc welding equipment from a practical point of view.

As a drive for an ETC (Electro-thermal Chemical) launcher, a large pulse power system of a 2.4MJ energy storage was designed, constructed and tested. The overall power system consists of eight capacitive 300kJ energy storage banks. In this paper we describe the design features, setup and operation test result of the 300kJ pulsed power module. Each capacitor bank of the 300kJ module consists of six 22kV 50kJ capacitors. A triggered vacuum switch (TVS-43) was adopted as the main pulse switch. Crowbar diode circuits, variable multi-tap inductors and energy dumping systems are connected to each high power capacitor bank via bus-bars and coaxial cables. A parallel crowbar diode stack is fabricated in coaxial structure with two series 13.5kV, 60kA avalanche diodes. The main design parameters of the 300kJ module are a maximum current of 180kA and a pulse width of 0.5 - 3ms. The electrical performances of each component and current output variations into resistive loads have been investigated.

Purpose: Yield monitoring systems are an essential component of precision agriculture. They indicate the spatial variability of crop yield in fields, and have become an important factor in modern harvesters. The objective of this paper was to review research trends related to yield monitoring sensors for grain crops. Methods: The literature was reviewed for research on the major sensing components of grain yield monitoring systems. These major components included grain flow sensors, moisture content sensors, and cutting width sensors. Sensors were classified by sensing principle and type, and their performance was also reviewed. Results: The main targeted harvesting grain crops were rice, wheat, corn, barley, and grain sorghum. Grain flow sensors were classified into mass flow and volume flow methods. Mass flow sensors were mounted primarily at the clean grain elevator head or under the grain tank, and volume flow sensors were mounted at the head or in the middle of the elevator. Mass flow methods used weighing, force impact, and radiometric approaches, some of which resulted in measurement error levels lower than 5% ($R^2=0.99$). Volume flow methods included paddle wheel type and optical type, and in the best cases produced error levels lower than 3%. Grain moisture content sensing was in many cases achieved using capacitive modules. In some cases, errors were lower than 1%. Cutting width was measured by ultrasonic distance sensors mounted at both sides of the header dividers, and the errors were in some cases lower than 5%. Conclusions: The design and fabrication of an integrated yield monitoring system for a target crop would be affected by the selection of a sensing approach, as well as the layout and mounting of the sensors. For accurate estimation of yield, signal processing and correction measures should be also implemented.

본 논문은 자동차용 타이어 공기압 모니터링 시스템(TPMS)의 핵심 부품인 가속도센서에 관한 연구이다. 일반적으로 압저항형 가속도센서는 정전용량형 가속도센서에 비하여 제조 비용이 적고 출력 특성이 선형적이며 주변 잡음에 면역성이 강한 장점을 갖는다. 그래서 TPMS용으로 압저항형을 선택하였고, ANSYS 프로그램을 이용하여 3가지 타입의 구조를 설계하여 공진주파수 특성을 비교하여 가장 안정적인 구조인 질량체 가장자리의 가운데에 있는 4개의 빔에 의하여 지지되는 브릿지 타입의 실리콘압저항형 가속도센서를 선택하였다. 그리고 센서 크기를 고려하여 빔의 길이는 $200{\mu}m$로 정하였으며, 빔 길이에 따른 최대응력과 최대변위를 시뮬레이션하여 센서를 설계하였다. TPMS용 4 빔 실리콘 미세 압저항형 가속도센서의 크기는 $3.0mm{\times}3.0mm{\times}0.4mm$의 크기로 제작 되었다. 휠 각도에 따른 출력 특성과 온도 특성을 측정하여 센서의 특성을 분석 하였다. 그 결과 가속도센서의 옵셋 전압은 43.2 mV 이고 감도는 $42.5{\mu}V/V/g$ 이다. 센서의 특징으로 내충격성은 1500 g 이고, 측정 범위는 0 ~ 60 g, 사용온도는 $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}125^{\circ}C$ 를 갖는다.
