It is necessary that radiation dose would be detect exactly generated from facility related to nuclear, space, radiotherapy center, etc. This paper is to use of the radiation-induced threshold voltage change as an accumulated radiation dose monitoring sensor. Commercial P Channel Power MOSFET(metal oxide field effect transistor) were tested in a Co-60 gamma irradiation facility to see their capabilities as a radiation dosimeter. We found that the transistors showed good linearity in their threshold voltage shift characteristics with radiation dose. The results demonstrate the potential use of commercial P Channel Power MOSFET as inexpensive radiation sensors.

In this work, the flow and combustion characteristics using a 3-D numerical simulation was evaluated for a shale gas fueled combustor in a commercial class gas turbine. The Standard k-e turbulence model, 2 step methane oxidation mechanism, Finite rate/Eddy dissipation reaction model, DTRM radiation model were employed and validated well at the baseline condition (Natural Gas, Pilot Ratio 0.2). Based on the validated models, the combustion characteristics of shale gas was evaluated for three pilot ratios cases. It was found that NOx concentrations for all shale gas cases were less than the that for city gas, which imply that, at the selected PRs, the condition for combustion stability is satisfied. In addition, for higher PR, whereas the average temperatures at the exit are the same, the NOx increases. It means that diffusion combustion portion increases due to the higher PR.

Purpose - There are numerous theories for retail trade area analysis which are designed to select candidate locations for new stores. In this study, comparative analysis on the characteristics from those of the theories are shown, and the explanation for the power in consumers' store-choice behaviors and their limitations are examined. Also, plans for improving commercial sphere analysis are explored. Research design, data, and methodology - This study is based on literature reviews with normative research methodology. Among many researches regarding the analysis on the location and commercial sphere for launching a new store, researches relying on statistics are excluded in this study since they belong to the marketing research area,. Results - In the Law of retail gravitation, Huff's model multinomial logit model and etc. are mutual complementary mathematical techniques for analyzing commercial spheres and each of them has its own characteristics. These theories rely on the same hypothesis in which consumers are all believed to be behaving rationally under a similar behavioral system. However, the trial in explaining or estimating behavior of choosing a store with only a select size of the population that is objectively estimated by some major properties has limits in its credibility. Conclusion - Research on consumer's spatial behaviors can be fully illustrative and explainable when it has both quantitative approaches such as 'law of retail gravitation', 'logit model' and etc., and qualitative approaches like consumer's 'cognitive structure', 'learning status', 'image formation', 'attitude' and etc.

This study reviews the rear or tag axle steering system's concepts and technology applied to commercial vehicles. Most commercial vehicles are large in size with more than two axles. Maneuvering them around tight corners, narrow roads, and spaces is a difficult job if only the front axle is steerable. Furthermore, wear and tear in tires will increase as turn angle and number of axles are increased. This problem can be solved using rear axle steering technology that is being used in commercial vehicles nowadays. Rear axle steering system technology uses a cylinder mounted on one of rear axles called a steering cylinder. Cylinder control is the primary objective of the real axle steering system. There are two types of such steering mechanisms. One uses master and slave cylinder concept while the other concept is relatively new. It goes by the name of smart axle, self-steered axle, or smart steering axle driven independently from the front wheel steering. All these different types of steering mechanisms are discussed in this study with detailed description, advantages, disadvantages, and safety considerations.

Injection molding machine is the assembly of many kinds of mechanical and fluid power part and electro-electronic control system. From in these, fluid power is a part where becomes the first core of this machine. Fluid power systems of injection molding machine are modelled and analyzed using a commercial program AMESim. The analysis model which is detailed about the parts applied a publishing catalog data. Sub system models which is divided according to functional operation are made and its analysis results shows how design parameters work on operational characteristics like displacement, pressure, flow rates at each node and so on. Total fluid power circuit model is also made and analyzed. The results made by analysis will be used design of fluid power circuit of injection molding machine.

Solar thermal power generation is one of promising and well-proven ways to convert solar energy to electricity. Though it requires high initial cost for system construction and continuous efforts for maintainment. it is more positive in terms of efficiency than other solar power generation technologies. Moreover, solar thermal power generation allows additional benefits of cheap thermal storage and easy hybridization with other fossil fuel-driven power generation. Owing to these benefits, large scale solar thermal power generation technology is expected to be competitive to other commercial technologies in the near future. In this paper an overview on the solar thermal hybrid power generation technology and the state of the art in Korea were briefly introduced.

High capacity UPS and emergency generators are commonly employed at facilities where power interruption is not allowed. Nowadays, combinations of existing commercial incoming power and an emergency generator or combination of multiple generators and CTTS(Closed Transition Transfer Switch) is adopted sometimes for more reliable power supply. In this paper, application of CTTS and STS(Static Transfer Switch) to dual-power line is suggested for highly reliable uninterruptible power. By realizing such a system, construction of incoming power facilities, installation of emergency generator and large capacity UPS can be omitted, through which saving of the installation space and corresponding capital investment can be expected.

The high power factor converters are classified step-up, step-up-down and step-down converter, The power conversion system must be increased switching frequency in order to achieve a small size, a light weight and a low noise. And the power system brings on a high efficiency and high power factor. When a switch of the step down converter is operated with a commercial frequency(60Hz), a reactor using the converter is gone with a great number of harmonics waveforms of low grade. As results of this, the converter is decreased input power factor and is increased system size. To improved these, this paper proposes a PSM(Pulse Size Modulation) control strategy operated with high power factor.

During the last three decades power electronics has gone through energetic technical evolution. The technical needs from wide area such as in industrial, commercial, consumer, aerospace and environmental applications have driven the environment favorably for the power electronics. In the future, two extreme technology-expansion trends are expected: one into low power, and the other into very high power. The former is based on the high frequency and the circuit miniature using VLSI circuit and surface mounting aiming for the system-on-chip (SOC) technology. The latter includes the application areas of power utility such as HVDC, FACTS and SVC and large science area of electrophsycal apparatus such as thermonuclear fusion, acclerators, and electric guns. This paper describes the technology status of some major elements which are available today and the key roles of the power electronics from view points of applications. The author would like to take this opportunity to raise discussions about the future technology development trend of power electronics in our country with the fellow power electronics engineers.
