A power semiconductor device, usually used as a switch or rectifier, is very significant in the modern power industry. The power semiconductor, in terms of its physical properties, requires a high breakdown voltage to turn off, a low on-state resistance to reduce static loss, and a fast switching speed to reduce dynamic loss. Among those parameters, the breakdown voltage and on-state resistance rely on the doping concentration of the drift region in the power semiconductor, this effect can be more important for a higher voltage device. Although the low doping concentration in the drift region increases the breakdown voltage, the on-state resistance that is increased along with it makes the static loss characteristic deteriorate. On the other hand, although the high doping concentration in the drift region reduces on-state resistance, the breakdown voltage is decreased, which limits the scope of its applications. This addresses the fact that breakdown voltage and on-state resistance are in a trade-off relationship with a parameter of the doping concentration in the drift region. Such a trade-off relationship is a hindrance to the development of power semiconductor devices that have idealistic characteristics. In this study, a novel structure is proposed for the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) device that uses conductivity modulation, which makes it possible to increase the breakdown voltage without changing the on-state resistance through use of a P-floating layer. More specifically in the proposed IGBT structure, a P-floating layer was inserted into the drift region, which results in an alleviation of the trade-off relationship between the on-state resistance and the breakdown voltage. The increase of breakdown voltage in the proposed IGBT structure has been analyzed both theoretically and through simulations, and it is verified through measurement of actual samples.

In many industrial applications, an unexpected fault of induction motor drive systems can cause serious troubles such as downtime of the overall system heavy loss, and etc. As one of methods to solve such problems, this paper investigates the fault diagnosis for open-switch damages in a voltage-fed PWM inverter for induction motor drive. For the feature extraction of a fault we transform the current signals to the d-q axis and calculate mean current vectors. And then, for diagnosis of different fault patterns, we propose a clustering based diagnosis algorithm The proposed diagnostic technique is a modified ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) which uses a clustering method on the premise of general ANFIS's. Therefore, it has a small calculation and good performance. Finally, we implement the method for the diagnosis module of the inverter with MATLAB and show its usefulness.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of dc bus line switch-assisted half-bridge soft switching PWM inverter type dc-dc converter for arc welder. The proposed power converter is composed of typical voltage source half-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer link in addition to dc bus line side power semiconductor switching devices fer PWM control scheme and capacitive lossless snubbers. All the active power switches in the half-bridge arm and dc bus lines can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation operation and consequently the total turn-off switching losses can be significantly reduced. As a result, a high switching frequency of using IGBTs can be actually selected more than about 20 kHz. The effectiveness of this new converter topology is proved for low voltage and large current dc-dc power supplies such as arc welder from a practical point of view.

The variation of discharge characteristics of an ac PDP was observed with the charge of scan electrode driving circuit. Conventional scan electrode driving circuit provides two switches per one scan line, and the suggested one can be constituted by one switch per one scan line with the consideration of capacitive load characteristic of an ac PDP. To verify the workability of the suggested scheme, the performances of the ac PDP was investigated. The dynamic voltage margin was slightly decreased with the adoption of the suggested scheme, which is estimated to result from the misfiring of unselected discharge cells due to the deformation of voltage level of the neighboring scan electrode. In the observation of the delay characteristics of addressing discharge, the performances of the conventional circuit and the suggested one are assumed to be equivalent.

A TrustZone-based rootkit detecting solution using a secure timer ensures the integrity of monitoring system, because ARM TrustZone technology provides isolated environments from a monitored OS against intercepting and modifying invoke commands. However, it is vulnerable to transient attack due to periodic monitoring. Also, Address Translation Redirection Attack (ATRA) cannot be detected, because the monitoring is operated by using the physical address of memory. To ameliorate this problem, we propose a snoop-based kernel introspection system. The proposed system can monitor a kernel memory in real-time by using a snooper, and detect memory-bound ATRA by introspecting kernel pages every context switch of processes. Experimental results show that the proposed system successfully protects the kernel memory without incurring any significant performance penalty in run-time.

It is needed to use the beam scanning to control the cell coverage of the base station considering operation conditions, season, time period, radiation character and mobility of customers and vehicles for varied wireless communication service and quality improvement. This paper proposes a mobile antenna system which can obtain the characteristics of the beam scanning by controlling the directivity depending on the operation condition. Radiation block is made of 2 sub-array of $1\times3$ patched antennas for ITS of 5.8GHZ bandwidth with the gain of 13dBi, and of 2 sub-array of single patched antenna for WiBro of 2.3GHZ bandwidth with the gain of 12dBi. RF module is made of a switch, an amplifier, a PAD, a 3-Bit phase shifter, and a power divider. The system is able to control the beam tilting with electronic methode by using 3-bit phase shifter$(45^{\circ},\;90^{\circ},\;180^{\circ})$.

The reception quality of broadcasting in car radio system may become poor due to the noise such as week signal strength, multipath, Adjacent Channel and so on. To improve this, some european nations and U.S. serve RDS(Radio Data System) on FM radio. AF(Alternative Frequency) and PI(Programme Identification) code contained information in RDS data are used to switch to the broadcasting having the best reception quality. There are many techniques and studies of maintaining the best reception quality. But many previous techniques are no longer the best way because RF chips are improved every year and noise components can be distinguished in detail. So this research will suggest the best switching technique to maintain the best reception quality.

In this paper, service differentiation scheme using optical buffer that is reduced in size with slow-light technology in optical burst switching networks is presented. In suggested scheme, each outport has buffer to store high-class burst only in case that all its wavelengths are occupied. When all wavelengths are being used, a new arriving high-class burst goes into the buffer and waits until a burst is serviced. As soon as a burst is serviced with a wavelength, the high-class burst at buffer is allocated to the free wavelength. In case that low-class burst is arriving under the same situation, it is not stored at the buffer but discarded. An analytical model is derived to analyze the performance of the suggested scheme and compare its performance with the conventional scheme such as preemption and deflection as well as no service differentiations.

Because of the ever-increasing software complexity, model-based development techniques are becoming an essential technique in software development. However, even if model-based techniques are used, the test case generation for complex software is still a challenge to solve. In this paper, we propose a method to generate automatic test cases based on UML model using custom parser and SMT solver. By proposed technique, a test case can be generated even though the model is described in a platform independent language such as action language, or in a platform dependent language. In addition, a concolic execution technique is applied to efficiently generate test cases in the model. In this paper, we present a case study on the power window switch model of Hyundai Santa Fe through the proposed test case generation technique.

Systematic telecommunication network management is essential for operating large-scale integrated networks which consist of various network components manufactured by different vendors. ISO and ITU-T recommend the CMIP-based TMN architecture for this purpose. TMN uses GDMO for the definition of managed objects, and various GDMO compilers have been developed. However, the development of management objects by using these compilers is still a difficult task. In this paper, we present a GUI-based managed objects development environment, MODE. MODE divides managed object codes by system independent code(SIC) and system dependent cede(SDC). By providing development environments for SIC and SDC, MODE can ease the development of managed objects. To show the efficiency of MODE, we develop the managed objects of an ATM switch in MODE.
