Large magnitude common-mode voltage (CMV) and its variation dv/dt have an adverse effect on motor drives that leads to early winding failure and bearing deterioration. For matrix converters, the switch states that connect each output line to a different input phase result in the lowest CMV among all of the valid switch states. To reduce the output CMV for matrix converters, this paper presents a new space vector modulation (SVM) strategy by utilizing these switch states. By this mean, the peak value and the root mean square of the CMV are dramatically decreased. In comparison with the conventional SVM methods this strategy has a similar computation overhead. Experiment results are shown to validate the effectiveness of the proposed modulation method.

As the fact that the simple data of text and sound in early year have been changed to be high quality images and sounds. PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) system plays an important role in communication system. VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is the most important part in PLL system because it can have critical effects on operation of PLL. Recently, it has been raised the necessity of high speed and high accuracy circuit application. In this paper, a new differential voltage clamped VCO using negative-skewed path is suggested. Using a dual-delay scheme to implement the VCO, higher operation frequency and wider tuning are achieved simultaneously. The dual-delay scheme means that both the negative skewed delay paths and the normal delay paths exist in the same ring oscillator. The negative skewed delay paths decrease the unit delay time of the ring oscillator below the single inverter delay time. As a result, higher operation frequency can be obtained. The whole characteristics of VCO are simulated by using HSPICE. Simulation results show that the resulting operating frequencies are 50% higher than those obtainable from the conventional approaches.

Recently, unmanned electric vehicles are increasingly interested among all of the world since they can provide low exhaust gas, high efficiency and high mobility. To exploit their silent maneuver and high mobility, unmanned electric vehicles have been developed since early 1980's for military. However, it is not easy to design and control a power system satisfying operating duration and mobility performance requirements based on various mission profiles for military use under the conditions of limited space and weight. Moreover it is also necessary to prevent over-charge, over-discharge and voltage unbalance between cells of battery to secure high voltage battery which is serially connected with muti-cells. In this paper, we presents power control and optimal management method for the dog-horse robot which adopts a electric power system and suggests a guide-line to manage and control to secure high voltage battery.

In this paper, it was demonstrated that organic thin- film transistors (OTFTs) were fabricated with the organic adhesion layer between an organic semiconductor and a gate insulator by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) processing. In order to form polymeric film as an adhesion layer, VDP process was also introduced instead of spin-coating process, where polymeric film was co-deposited by high-vacuum thermal evaporation from 6FDA and ODA followed by curing. The saturated slop in the saturation region and the subthreshold nonlinearity in the triode region were c1early observed in the electrical output characteristics in our organic thin film transistors using the staggered-inverted top-contact structure. Field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on-off current ratio in 15-nm-thick organic adhesion layer were about $0.5\;cm^2/Vs$, -1 V, and $10^6$, respectively. We also demonstrated that threshold voltage depends strongly on the delay time when a gate voltage has been applied to bias stress.

본 연구는 핵이식의 시기가 융합과 체외발달에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 체외수정 공핵배의 핵과 체외성숙난자간에 전기융합의 최적 통전전압과 통전시간을 결정하기 위하여 시도하였다. 수핵난자는 체외성숙후 25~27시간에 제핵하였고 난자의 추가성숙을 위하여 융합전에 18~20시간 더 배양하였다. 공핵체외수정란은 16~32세포기까지 BOEC와 공배양하였다. 공핵배의 할구 이식시간은 조기핵이식구에서는 체핵후 1~3시간, 자연핵이식구를 체핵후 16~18시간이었다. 융합은 체외성숙후 43~45시간에 행하였다. 융합율은 할구 이식시기에 따라 차이가 없었으나 난할율과 8~16세포기 발달은 자연핵이식구에서 높았다. 융합, 난할 및 상실배 배반포 발달율은 1.0kV/cm보다 0.75kV/cm전압에서 높았으며 0.7kV/cm에서 상실배 배반포율은 17.6%였다. 통전시간에 따라 융합율은 차이가 없었으나 50$\mu$sec와 70$\mu$sec에서 난할율과 상실배-배반포 발달율이 다소 높았다. 본 결과에서 핵이식의 최적시기는 수핵난자의 체외성숙후 42~44시간이었으며 최적 전기융합 조건은 50~70$\mu$sec의 1회 0.75kV/cm임을 알 수 있었다.

탄화규소(Silicon Carbide)는 와이드 밴드 갭 물질로써 실리콘(Si)에 비해 고전력, 고주파, 고온 소자용 반도체 물질로서 각광받고 있다. 탄화규소를 이용하여 만든 반도체 소자 중 특히 쇼트키 배리어 다이오드는 현재 가장 많이 사용되는 전력반도체 소자로써 스위칭 속도가 매우 빠르고 낮은 온저항 특성을 가지는 소자이다. 하지만 컨텍 엣지에서의 전계집중으로 인해 항복전압이 낮아지는 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 다양한 엣지 터미네이션 기술이 제안되고 있는데, 본 논문에서는 최적의 항복전압을 갖기 위한 이중 필드 플레이트(Double Field Plate) 소자 구조를 제안하였다. 측정결과 제작한 소자는 온저항을 유지한 채 38% 향상된 항복전압을 나타내었다. 제안한 소자 특성 검증을 위해 소자를 설계 및 제작한 후 전기적 특성을 측정하였으며, 이중 필드 플레이트 구조는 길이와 두께가 서로 다른 필드 플레이트를 겹쳐 올림으로써 구현하였다.

This paper presents a study on rotor asymmetry caused by broken bars and its effects on the stator current of an induction machine under an unbalanced supply voltage. The simulation of the induction machine is based on the finite element method. In the early stage of diagnosis, we show new sidebands specific to the partial rupture of the rotor bar. Experimental tests corroborate with the simulation results.

Voltage-sensitive ion channels contribute to establishment of the cell excitablity and the generation of the cellular function. At hamster oocytes in the primitive stage during developing process, an inward current elicited by voltage pulses was found to be carried mainly by $Ca^{2+}$. Even at present, $Ca^{2+}$ channels serve as the most probable route to pass this inward current but there is no evidence of the presence of this channels in eggs. To date, both the characteristic properties and the physiological role in the early stage of development remain unclear. Here we examined the characteristic properties of the inward current and changes in this currents at unfertilized oocytes, fertilized zygotes and two-cell embryos using whole-cell voltage clamp technique. The inward current carried reportedly by $Ca^{2+}$ was remained following removing external $Ca^{2+}$ but completely abolished by further replacement of impermeants such as tetramethylammonium ion ($TMA^+$) or $choline^+$ instead of $[Na^+]_0$. Tetrodotoxin did not affect on this inward current remained at $[Ca^{2+}]_0$-free condition. Removal of $Na^+$ ion out of the experimental solution clearly decreased the current. After adding 2mM $Ca^{2+}$ to the $Na^+$-free media, the inward current was restored. Interestingly, this current carried by either $Ca^{2+}$ or $Na^+$ was decreased by the reduction of intracellular $Cl^-$ concentration, or by $Cl^-$ channel blockers such as niflumic acid, DIDS and SITS. When $Cl^-$ concentration was lowered without changes in other ionic components, this inward current was reduced. At fertilized oocytes and two-cell embryos, the inward current carried by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Na^+$ was severely reduced. Also $Cl^-$ component could not be observed. From these results, the inward current is composed of $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ component, suggesting that the channel carrying this inward current is not selective specifically to $Ca^{2+}$. During early stage of development, the voltage-sensitive ion current seems not to contribute essentially to the cell cleavage and differentiation. The loss of $Cl^-$ component after fertilization suggests that $Cl^-$ may play a role in maintaining the viability of unfertilized ova.

It was previously pointed out that mutation is the ultimate source of variation. Adequate variation is needed for plant breeding if there is a limitation in natural genetic resources. When the ionizing radiation has been known to cause chromosomal and genomic alternations, it is widely used for inducing mutagenesis. The electron beam as an ionizing radiation is the principal physical mutagens that induces mutation and effectively used in plant breeding. Since dose-response relationships of electron beam in plant species are rarely known, we investigated the seed germination rate and early seedling growth of irradiated seeds of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds., cv Penn-A1) with various electron beam irradiating conditions (1, 1.3, 2 MeV at both 0.03 mA and 0.06 mA with dose of 100 Gy (Gray) and 0.03, 1, 1.3, 2 MeV at 0.03 mA with dose of 200 Gy, respectively) using electron accelerator at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The growth parameters in terms of shoot length, primary root length, and secondary root length showed similar response between 0.06 / 1 (mA / MeV) at 100 Gy and 0.03 / 0.3 (mA / MeV) at 200 Gy. Bentgrass seed germination was mainly affected by the intensity of irradiated dose (Gray). Germination rate was lowered as the irradiated dose increased. On the other hand, early seedling growth was mainly governed not by the dose of radiation but by voltage.

A variety of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are expressed in the presynaptic terminals of central and peripheral synapses and play regulatory roles in transmitter release. The patch-clamp whole-cell recording technique, applied to the calyx of Held presynaptic terminal in brainstem slices of rodents, has made it possible to directly examine intracellular mechanisms underlying the GPCR-mediated presynaptic inhibition. At the calyx of Held, bath-application of agonists for GPCRs such as $GABA_B$ receptors, group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), adenosine $A_1$ receptors, or adrenaline ${\alpha}2$ receptors, attenuate evoked transmitter release via inhibiting voltage-activated $Ca^{2+}$ currents without affecting voltage-activated $K^+$ currents or inwardly rectifying $K^+$ currents. Furthermore, inhibition of voltage-activated $Ca^{2+}$ currents fully explains the magnitude of GPCR-mediated presynaptic inhibition, indicating no essential involvement of exocytotic mechanisms in the downstream of $Ca^{2+}$ influx. Direct loadings of G protein ${\beta}{\gamma}$ subunit $(G{\beta}{\gamma})$ into the calyceal terminal mimic and occlude the inhibitory effect of a GPCR agonist on presynaptic $Ca^{2+}$ currents $(Ip_{Ca})$, suggesting that $G{\beta}{\gamma}$ mediates presynaptic inhibition by GPCRs. Among presynaptic GPCRs glutamate and adenosine autoreceptors play regulatory roles in transmitter release during early postnatal period when the release probability (p) is high, but these functions are lost concomitantly with a decrease in p during postnatal development.
