In this paper, an approach to reduce common-mode voltage (CMV) at the output of multilevel inverters using a phase opposition disposed (POD) sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique is proposed. The SPWM technique does not require computations therefore, this technique is easy to implement on-line in digital controllers. A good tradeoff between the quality of the output voltage and the magnitude of the CMV is achieved in this paper. This paper realizes the implementation of a POD-SPWM technique to reduce CMV using a five-level diode clamped inverter for a three phase induction motor. Experimental and simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed technique.

The laser direct writing method has some advantages of being maskless, allowing rapid and inexpensive prototyping in comparison to conventional mask-based photolithography. In general, there are two kinds of laser direct writing methods such as the laser ablation method and the laser polymerization method. The laser polymerization method was studied fur manufacturing waveguide in this paper. It is important to reduce line width for image mode waveguides, so some investigations will be carried out in various conditions of process parameters such as laser power, writing speed, focusing height and optical properties of polymer. Experimentally, the optical waveguide was manufactured trapezoid shape. Through SEM the waveguide was 20 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ width and 7.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ height.

In this paper, we have studied the dependence of insertion loss of a microstrip stepped impedance lowpass filter with coupled open stubs. Coupling mechanisms in the filter depend not only on the transmission line width of the filter but also the gap width of coupled open stubs and three attenuation poles are created with the proper conditions. Also edge capacitance between open stubs play an important role in having three attenuation Poles. We verify the results by obtaining [S] matrices.

A high-performance rectifier is introduced in this study. The proposed rectifier combines the conventional pulse width modulation, soft commutation, and instantaneously average line current control techniques to promote circuit performance. The voltage stresses of the main switches in the rectifier are lower than those in conventional rectifier topologies. Moreover, conduction losses of switches in the rectifier are certainly lower than those in conventional rectifier topologies because the power current flow path when the main switches are turned on includes two main power semiconductors and the power current flow path when the main switches are turned off includes one main power semiconductor. The rectifier also adopts a ZCS-PWM auxiliary circuit to derive the ZCS function for power semiconductors. Thus, the problem of switching losses and EMI can be improved. In the control strategy, the controller uses the average current control mode to achieve fixed-frequency current control with stability and low distortion. A prototype has been implemented in the laboratory to verify circuit theory.

In this paper, to evaluate the design properties of 3D optical multimode interference (MMI) couplers with ultracompact width, modal transmission line theory and effective dielectric method are combined with together. A coupling efficiency based on the composed approach is defined, and the coupling length is numerically determined for the design of 3 dB coupler, cross coupler and bar coupler. The simulation result shows that the designed MMI coupler has a low insertion loss and a high splitting ratio.

A new digital image processing method for measuring of the flank wear of cutting tool is presented. The method is based on computer vision technology in which the tool is illuminated by two halogen lamps and the wear zone is visualized using a CCD camera. The image is converted into digital pixel and processed to detect the wearland width. As a conclusion, it has been proved that the average wearland area and mzximum peak values of the flank wear width can monitored effectively to a measuring resolution of 0.01mm.

Contact resistivity between silver electrodes and the emitter layer of a silicon solar cell wafer has been measured using either the circular transmission line method or the linear transmission line method. The circular transmission line method has an advantage over the linear transmission line method, in that it does not require an additional process for mesa etching to eliminate the leakage current. In contrast, the linear transmission line method has the advantage that its specimen can be acquired directly from a silicon solar cell. In this study, measured resistance data for the calculation of contact resistivity is compared for these two methods, and the mechanism by which the linear transmission line method can more realistically reflect the impact of the width and thickness of a silver electrode on contact resistivity is investigated.

최근 도시개발이나 주택단지개발사업의 경우 토지이용의 극대화 및 경제적인 측면에서 저류지의 면적을 충분히 확보하기 어려우므로 첨두홍수량 조절방식인 하도외(off-line) 저류지가 검토되고 일부 설치되고 있으며, 증가된 홍수량을 저류지로 전환하는 방법에는 일반적으로 횡월류위어가 이용되고 있다. 현재 off-line 저류지 횡월류량 산정시 사용되고 있는 De Marchi공식의 유량계수를 0.623이라는 고정된 값을 사용하고 있으나, 횡월류위어의 유량계수는 본류 흐름 조건 및 위어의 기하학적 조건에 따라 달라지기 때문에 이에 대한 문제점을 갖고 있다. 또한 횡월류부의 적정폭이 제시되어 있지 않으므로 계획빈도 이상의 수위가 전량 저류지로 유입되는지 이에 대한 실험 및 검증이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 수리실험을 통하여 설계빈도 이상의 초과홍수량을 전량 월류시킬 목적으로 사용되는 off-line 저류지 횡월류위어의 적정폭을 산정하고, 본류 흐름 조건 및 위어의 기하학적 조건 등을 고려한 횡월류위어의 유량계수를 산정하였다. 적정폭 산정 결과 본 실험조건에서는 횡월류 위어폭이 본류폭의 6배인 3.6m(L/B=6.0)이상일 때 모든 조건에서 위어정점부 이상의 수위에 대한 유량을 전량 월류시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. L/B=6.0일 때 $Fr_u,\;W/y_u$와 $S_o$를 고려한 중회귀분석을 통해 off-line 저류지에 적합한 횡월류 위어의 유량계수식을 제안하였으며, off-line 저류지의 횡월류위어 설계시 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper proposes new miniaturization method of parallel coupled line filter by using capacitors and grounding. Proposed method can reduce resonator size by using only a small number of capacitor and grounding of parallel coupled line filter which is conventional in field of RF filters because of its design and fabrication simplicity. This paper applies the miniaturization method of transmission line and parallel coupled line to parallel coupled line filter, and presents that grounding can reduce the number of shut capacitors. Presented miniaturized method has merits of miniaturization of parallel coupled line, harmonic suppression, and improvement of high frequency skirt with harmonic suppression. For verification of proposed method, this paper presents a hairpin filter, which has 900 MHz center frequency and 10 % FBW, miniaturized to λ/4 by proposed method.

We secured the high dispersion spectra of the symbiotic star CI Cyg. The HI, HeI, and HeII line profiles were analyzed using the relatively long exposure data including 1800 sec (Sep. 12, 1998, phase=0.90), 3600 sec (Aug. 12, 2002, ${\phi}=0.47$), and 1800 sec (Oct. 21, 2009, ${\phi}=0.54$). Although a minor outburst was reported in 2008, our three observation periods were generally known to be quiescent in earlier photometric studies. With the help of hydrodynamic simulations, we identified the two emission zones responsible for the blue- and red-shifted line components: (a) an accretion disk around a hot white dwarf star which consists of the outer cool HeI emission zone and the inner hot HeII emission part, and (b) a high density zone near the inner Lagrangian point responsible for the HeI line flux variation and the broadening of its line profile. The HeII line fluxes indicate that the HeII emission zone of the accretion disk is relatively stable, implying a constant gas inflow from the giant star throughout the quiescent period. The 2002 HeI data showed that the notable mass flow activity through the inner Lagrangian point occurred during this period and its flux intensity became strongest, whereas the HeII line width in the same period indicates that its flow activity forced the accretion disk to expand. The [OIII] lines were observed in 1998 but not detected in 2002 and 2009, implying the disappearance of the low density zone. Based on our kinematical studies upon the line profiles, we conclude that CI Cyg was stable in 1998 among the three observation periods selected in this research.
