This paper describes a transformer protection relay based on induced voltages. The ratio of the induced voltages of the primary and secondary windings is equal to the turns ratio during normal operating conditions such as magnetic inrush, overexcitation, and steady state, but it differs from the turns ratio in the case of internal faults. For a single-phase and a three-phase Y-Y transformer, the induced voltages are estimated and the ratios are compared with the turns ratio. For three-phase Y-Δ transformers, the differences between the induced voltages are estimated to use the line currents because delta-winding currents are practically unavailable. The proposed relay is tested under various conditions such as magnetic inrush, internal winding faults, overexcitation, and different core characteristics. The results evidently indicate that the relay successfully discriminates internal faults from magnetic inrush and overexcitation. This paper concludes by implementing the relay into a TMS320C6701 digital signal processor and reports satisfactory results. The relay requires no hysteresis data and can reduce the operating time of a relay.

The full containment Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) storage tank is based on a double liquid container concept : two separate containers, one within the other, are capable of containing the LNG. The outer concrete tank provides comer protection(secondary containment) to withstand and safely contain any spill from the inner tank. The comer protection is installed on inside corner surface of outer concrete tank. Because of high and complex stresses, corner protection is designed by ASME section ⅧI Div. 2, Appendix 4 on behalf of API 620 which is main design code for LNG tank. Design guidelines to determine design factors such as liner thickness and knuckle radius are not well understood because Appendix 4 is the design method not based on equation but FEM. Recently, the volume of LNG tank shows a tendency to increase. So it is necessary to set up the design guidelines to cope with change of LNG tank capacity and height/diameter ratio. In this paper, optimum design of corner protection was performed and the design guidelines were suggested by the results of FEM for LNG tanks which have different capacities and height/diameter ratio.

This paper presents a new digital relaying algorithm for protection of a two winding power transformer. The proposed algorithm calculates mutual flux linkages of primary and secondary windings from the currents and voltages of primary and secondary windings. The mutual flux linkage ratio of primary and secondary windings is equal to the turn ratio in case of the steady state and magnetic inrush. On the other hand, the ratio is different from the turn ratio in case of internal winding faults. The algorithm does not require B-H curve. The results of various tests are satisfactory.

An artificial neural network (ANN) that identifies radionuclides from low-count gamma spectra of a NaI scintillator is proposed. The ANN was trained and tested using simulated spectra. 14 target nuclides were considered corresponding to the requisite radionuclide library of a radionuclide identification device mentioned in IEC 62327-2017. The network shows an average identification accuracy of 98.63% on the validation dataset, with the gross counts in each spectrum N_c = 100~10000 and the signal to noise ratio SNR = 0.05-1. Most of the false predictions come from nuclides with low branching ratio and/or similar decay energies. If the N_c>1000 and SNR>0.3, which is defined as the minimum identifiable condition, the averaged identification accuracy is 99.87%. Even when the source and the detector are covered with lead bricks and the response function of the detector thus varies, the ANN which was trained using non-shielding spectra still shows high accuracy as long as the minimum identifiable condition is satisfied. Among all the considered nuclides, only the identification accuracy of ²³⁵U is seriously affected by the shielding. Identification of other nuclides shows high accuracy even the shielding condition is changed, which indicates that the ANN has good generalization performance.

국내의 FM방송은 다양한 종류의 신규 방송서비스를 실시하기 위한 채널 요구가 점점 증대하고 있지만 가용채널이 포화된 상태다. 전 세계적으로 부족한 방송 스펙트럼 이용효율을 극대화하기 위해 FM방송의 채널간격을 200kHz에서 100kHz로 축소하고, 아날로그 대역 옆에 디지털신호를 배치하는 IBOC(In Band On Channel), DRM+(Digital Radio Mondial+) 등 많은 연구가 있었다. 그러나 인접국간 전파간섭으로 인해 출력을 저감할 수 밖에 없었다. 본 논문에서는 1986년도의 혼신보호비에 대해 문제점을 파악하고, 송신출력과 방송품질의 손실 없이 현대의 DSP(Digital Signal Processing) 기술에 맞추어 혼신보호비를 7~10db까지 획기적으로 개선하는 방안을 제시하였다. 그리고 동일사이트에서 방송매체간 최소 주파수 이격폭을 800kHz에서 400kHz 또는 600kHz로 축소함으로써 현재보다 2배 많은 가용채널을 확보 할 수 있는 가능성을 검토하였다.

In Korea, countermeasures against earthquake disasters such as the seismic performance evaluation and/or retrofit scheme of buildings have not been fully performed since Korea had not been experienced many destructive earthquakes in the past. The main objective of this paper is to propose the basic seismic protection index (Es) suitable to Korean buildings based on the seismic evaluation of existing reinforced concrete buildings using modified strength index. This paper will focus on 1) the selection of weak and moderate earthquake waves representing Korean seismic zone, 2) the creation of the required strength ratio spectra by seismic response analysis, and 3) the proposition of the basic seismic protection index (Es) suitable to Korean seismic activity based on required strength ratio spectra

This paper, we presents a RF protection technique of antenna switch by improving the power handling capability in worst case environment mode for mobile phone applications without critical payment of circuit performances such as insertion loss, isolation and ACBV (AC breakdown voltage). By applying a additional capacitive path located in front of the antenna in cell-phone, it performs the effective reduction of input power in high voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) condition. Under the all-path off condition which causes a high VSWR, it achieved 37.7dBm power handling level as high as 5.7dB compared to that of conventional one at 2GHz. In addition, insertion loss and isolation performances were 0.31dB and 42.72dB at 2 GHz, respectively which were almost similar to that of the conventional circuit. The proposed antenna switch was fabricated in 130nm CMOS SOI technology.

By virtue of Rec. ITU-R P.1546 and geography information system, interference analysis for the fixed wireless system and radar has been presented based upon the frequency-distance rules with minimum coupling loss, and a comprehensive methodology for assessing interoperability between systems was examined in terms of received signal, protection ratio, frequency dependent rejection. Also to find the antenna gain from a discrimination angle, a useful S-I plane was introduced based on signal and interference vectors derived from the real map with geographic information. To show some computational results, geography information on the map was taken for the given area, and field strength and path profile were illustrated for the radar and fixed wireless system operating at 2.7 GHz, for convenience. In addition the interference effect of receiver was also checked as a function of radar beam direction including protection ratio and frequency dependent rejection. The developed interference analysis can be actually applied to evaluate interoperability for wireless systems in the VHF and UHF bands.

LPD vectors are non-viral vehicles for gene delivery comprised of polycation-condensed plasmid DNA and liposomes. Here, we described a novel anionic LPD formulation containing protamine-DNA complexes and pH sensitive liposomes composed of DOPE and cholesteryl hemisuccinate (Chems). Central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize stable LPD formulation with small particle size. A three factor, five-level CCD design was used for the optimization procedure, with the weight ratio of protamine/DNA ($X_1$), the weight ratio of Chems/DNA ($X_2$) and the molar ratio of Chems/DOPE in the anionic liposomes ($X_3$) as the independent variables. LPD size ($Y_1$) and LPD protection efficiency against nuclease ($Y_2$) were response variables. Zeta potential determination was utilized to define the experimental design region. Based on experimental design, responses for the 15 formulations were obtained. Mathematical equations and response surface plots were used to relate the dependent and independent variables. The mathematical model predicted optimized $X_1-X_3$ levels that achieve the desired particle size and the protection efficiency against nuclease. According to these levels, an optimized LPD formulation was prepared, resulting in a particle size of 185.3 nm and protection efficiency of 80.22％.

콘크리트 구조물에 균열이 생겨 물과 산소의 침투확산이 용이해 지거나 또는 외부로부터 염소이온과 같은 염화물이 침투확산되어 콘크리트 중의 철근까지 도달할 경우 및 콘크리트의 중성화가 철근위치까지 진행될 경우 철근의 부동태 피막은 파괴되어 부식이 급진전 되며 콘크리트의 박리 및 탈락현상이 수반될 뿐만 아니라 구조물의 내구성이 크게 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 중의 철근부식을 억제하기 위한 한 방안으로 적용되는 전기방식의 이론적인 고찰과 콘크리트 내부에 다량의 염화물을 함유시키거나 또는 균열을 발생시킨 시험체에 대하여 외부전원법을 활용한 실내실험을 실시하여 철근의 방식효과에 대해 고찰하였다. 외부전원법에 의한 전기방식을 실시하여 복극량을 측정한 결과 대상 시험체 모두 NACE의 방식기준을 만족하였으며, 부식면적율의 측정결과 34 ~84%, 단면감소의 경우 84 ~ 86%의 방식효과를 확인하였다.
