This paper proposes a method to reduce flicker when running an AC-power direct-drive type multiple string LED driver IC. The proposed method greatly decreases flicker using one capacitor and P-type MOSFET transistor (PMOS). The flicker index (FI) was reduced by over 40% through experiments, and less than half of the conventional external components are used in the passive valley fill circuit, which gives an advantage in the cost and utilization in the design of LED lighting modules. The 0.35 um 700 V BCD process was used to manufacture this LED driver.

It is important to measure the resistive component separately from the total leakage current at power distribution line. It is because electric disasters such as electric shock and fire are caused mainly by the resistive component of the total leakage current. In this paper, a new theory for measuring the resistive component separately from the total leakage current is suggested, and is embodied to an actual circuit using operational amplifiers, analog switch and R-C low pass filter. Through experiments for various cases containing both the resistive and capacitive leakage currents, the suggested algorithm is confirmed to be able to measure the resistive leakage current within 4.1% of error even when the capacitive leakage current is much bigger than the resistive one. The suggested method is expected to lower the total cost because it can be realized using simple and cheap devices, and implies the measuring time can be possibly reduced because the resistive leakage current is computed exactly from the signals during only a half period of power voltage.

This paper proposes a fuzzy decision making method for power transformer protection to identify an internal fault from other transient states such as inrush, over-excitation and an external fault with current transformer (CT) saturation. In this paper, analyzing over 300 EMTP simulations of disturbances, four input variables are selected and fuzzified. At every sampling interval from half to one cycle after a disturbance, from the EMPT simulations, different fuzzy rule base is composed of twelve if-then fuzzy rules associated with their basic probability assignments for singleton- or compound-support hypotheses. Dempster's rule of combination is used to process the fuzzy rules and get the final decision. A series of test results clearly indicate that the method can identify not only an internal fault but also the other transients. The average of relay operation times is about 12(ms). The proposed method is implemented into a Digital Signal Processor (TMS320C31) and tested.

A simulation study was conducted to evaluate a fine-mapping method exploiting population-wide linkage disequilibrium. Data were simulated according to the pedigree structure based on a large paternal half-sib family population with a total of 1,034 or 2,068 progeny. Twenty autosomes of 100 cM were generated with 5 cM or 1 cM marker intervals for all founder individuals in the pedigree, and marker alleles and a number of quantitative trait loci (QTL) explaining a total of 70% phenotypic variance were generated and randomly assigned across the whole chromosomes, assuming linkage equilibrium between the markers. The founder chromosomes were then descended through the pedigree to the current offspring generation, including recombinants that were generated by recombination between adjacent markers. Power to detect QTL was high for the QTL with at least moderate size, which was more pronounced with larger sample size and denser marker map. However, sample size contributed much more significantly to power to detect QTL than map density to the precise estimate of QTL position. No QTL was detected on the test chromosomes in which QTL was not assigned, which did not allow detection of false positive QTL. For the multiple QTL that were closely located, the estimates of the QTL positions were biased, except when the QTL were located on the right marker positions. Our fine mapping simulation results indicate that construction of dense maps and large sample size is needed to increase power to detect QTL and mapping precision for QTL position.

무선 전력전송기에서 두 유도 코일 사이의 무선 전력전송 특성과 영향에 대해서 알아보고, 무선 전력전송 기술을 이용한 전력변환기 회로와 배터리 충·방전기 회로를 제안한다. 무선 전력전송기 및 무선 충전기의 장점은 기존의 플러그인 탑재형 유선 충전기(OBC; on-board charger) 대신 무선으로 전력을 전송하여 배터리에 전력 충전 시 사용자가 외부에서 전원을 연결 시키지 않고 무선으로 충전할 수 있는 점이다. 또한 무선충전의 이점은 2차 측 정류기의 회로와 수신 코일을 사용하여 에너지 효율 향상 효과를 가져올 수 있으나, 대용량의 원거리 무선충전 방식은 전송거리에 대한 한계가 있어 현재 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 비 접촉 방식의 전력 전송기의 전력을 전송 할 수 있는 송신부 인 1차측 코일과 수신부인 2차측 코일 및 하프브리지(half bridge) 직렬공진 컨버터를 적용한 무선 전력전송장치의 송신부 회로와 수신부 회로의 연구를 목적으로 무선충전시스템의 전력전송거리 향상을 위한 새로운 토폴로지를 적용하고, 각각의 거리에 따른 실험을 통해 8 cm 전송거리에서 출력 3 kW 일 때, 최대 효율(95.8%)을 확인 할 수 있었다.

A new controller for switching audio power amplifier with digital PWM input is proposed- Bi-directional Saw-tooth Error Correction (BSEC). This control method for high quality switching amplifier is based on a pulsed edge correction approach using PWM audio signal input as a reference of power switching digital to analog converter. The proposed controller has excellent features such as wide error correction range and no limitation on the modulation index. The controller is implemented in the half-bridge class D amplifier and the performance is verified through hardware experiments. It delivers 100W into 4${\Omega}$ load with less than 0.2% of total harmonic distortion (THD) all over operating range and an maximum efficiency of 82%.

This paper presents a design optimization process for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSM) for hybrid electric compressors (HEC) which are applied to hybrid electrical vehicles. A hybrid electric compressor is composed of an electric motor driving section and an engine driving section which is connected to the engine by a pulley belt. A hybrid electric compressor driving motor requires half of the full driving power of a compressor. Even though an engine is not operated at the idling stop mode, the electric motor drives the air-conditioner compressor by itself so that the air conditioning system can produce its minimum cooling capacity. In this paper, the design optimization of an IPMSM for a 42 (V) applied voltage system is studied using the design of experiment (DOE) and response surface method (RSM) of 6sigma. The driving characteristics of this motor drive system are measured and analyzed by experiment.
