In this paper, the effect of pulse width modulation methods on thermal loadings and power losses of single-phase five-level NPC inverters for photovoltaic systems are analyzed. The pulse width modulation methods affect the power losses of the NPC inverters and thus lead to different thermal loadings of NPC inverters. To identify the reliability-critical power device with respect to thermal stress, the thermal loadings of I- and T-type NPC inverters are analyzed by applying the unipolar pulse modulation method. Then, the effect of the discontinuous pulse width modulation method on power losses and thermal loadings of power devices of I- and T-type NPC inverters are analyzed. Finally, the operation of NPC inverters applying the discontinuous pulse modulation method is confirmed by experiments. The results show that the discontinuous pulse modulation method is able to improve the reliability of NPC inverters by reducing thermal loadings of reliability-critical power devices and it is more effective for T-type NPC inverters than I-type NPC inverters.

Carbon nanofibers were deposited on silicon oxide substrate by thermal chemical vapor deposition method. For the enhancement of the characteristics of carbon nanofibers, the source gases ($C_2H_2,\;H_2$) flows were intentionally manipulated as the cyclic on/off modulation of $C_2H_2$ flow. By the cyclic modulation process during the initial deposition stage, the formation density of carbon nanofibers on the substrate could be much more enhanced. The diameter of as-grown carbon nanofibers was also reduced by the cyclic modulation process. The cause for the variation in the characteristics of carbon nanofibers by the cyclic modulation process was discussed in association with the hydrogen gas etching ability.

We suggest a viewing angle control mode of liquid crystal display(LCD) with additive thermal controllable optical layer [TCOL], which composed of homeotropically or homogenously well aligned LC layer and patterned hating lines on a substrate. In this system, LCD modes with wide viewing angle characteristics can be used as a main panel.

Carbon nanotilaments (CNFs) could be synthesized on nickel catalyst layer-deposited silicon oxide substrate using $C_2H_2$ and$H_2$ as source gases under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. By the incorporation of $SF_6$ as a cyclic modulation manner, the geometries of carbon coils-related materials, such as nano-sized coil and wave-like nano-sized coil could be observed on the substrate. The characteristics (formation density and morphology) of as-grown CNFs with or without $SF_6$ incorporation were investigated. Diameter size reduction for the individual CNFs-related shape and the enhancement of the formation density of CNFs-related material could be achieved by the incorporation of $SF_6$ as a cyclic modulation manner. The cause for these results was discussed in association with the slightly increased etching ability by $SF_6$ addition and the sulfur role in SF 6 for the geometry change.

이번 연구에서는 비선형 음향효과를 기반으로 한 비선형 초음파 변조 기법을 통해 열손상 콘크리트의 미세균열 정도를 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 화재 시 콘크리트 구조물은 물리적, 화학적 변화에 따른 콘크리트 내 미세균열이 발생하므로, 기존 초음파 비파괴 기법의 민감도 한계를 극복한 비파괴 기법의 도입이 필요하다. 비선형 초음파 기법은 초음파와 저주파의 변조파로부터 열손상 평가 인자인 비선형인자를 측정하며, 이는 열손상 콘크리트의 미세균열에 적합한 민감도를 가진다. 이 연구에서는 SEM 관측, 열손상 전후 콘크리트의 투수공극량 변화 측정으로부터 수열온도에 따라 미세균열이 급격하게 발생함을 보였으며, 수열온도별 콘크리트의 초음파 전파속도 측정을 통해 제안된 방법의 민감도를 검증하였다. 추가적으로 열손상에 따른 미세균열이 콘크리트의 성능저하에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 열손상 콘크리트 시편의 압축강도 측정을 수행하였다. 측정값 및 실험값의 연관성을 파악하여 비선형 초음파 변조 기법이 열손상 콘크리트의 미세균열 평가에 적합함을 보였으며, 향후 압축강도 추정에 대한 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

A complete theoretical treatment of the photothermal displacement technique has been performed for thermal diffusivity measurement in solid materials. The influence of parameters - radius and modulation frequency of pump beam and thickness of material - on the phase lag was studied. The phase decreases up to a certain position, then starts to increase and does have an asymptotic value. The position, where phase has the minimum value, is a function of thermal diffusion length thickness of sample, and radius of pump beam. A new method based on minimum phase lag is described to determine the thermal diffusivity of solid material.

탄소나노필라멘트의 직경크기를 조절하기 위하여 증착 반응초기에 $SF_6$를 증착원료기체($C_2H_2$, $H_2$)에 주입하였다. 증착 원료 기체와 $SF_6$를 열화학기상증착시스템에서 시간에 따라 싸이클릭 유량 변조시켰다. 싸이클릭 유량 변조 프로세스와 기판의 온도에 따라 기판위에 증착된 탄소나노필라멘트들의 특성을 조사하였다. 싸이클릭 에칭기간에 $SF_6$를 투입하자 탄소나노필라멘트의 직경크기는 급격히 감소하였다. 이러한 탄소나노필라멘트 직경의 크기 감소 원인은 $SF_6$ 기체의 주입에 따른 에칭능력 향상에 기인하는 것으로 이해되었다.

Carbon coils could be synthesized on nickel catalyst layer-deposited silicon oxide substrate using $C_2H_2$ and $H_2$ as source gases under thermal chemical vapor deposition system. By the incorporation of $SF_6$ additive in cyclic modulation manner, the dominant formation of the nanosized carbon coils could be achieved with maintaining the minimized sulfur additive amount. The geometry variation of the as-grown carbon coils, such as linear type, microsized coil type, wavelike nanosized coil type, and nanosized coil type, were investigated according to the different cyclic modulation manner of $SF_6$ flow. $SF_6$ gas incorporation develops the coil-type geometry. Furthermore, the higher flow rate of $SF_6$ gas increased the amount of the nanosized carbon coils. The slightly increased etching ability by $SF_6$ addition seems to be the cause for these results.

A suspended membrane micro fluidic heat flux sensor that is able to measure the heat flow rate was designed and fabricated by a complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible process. The combination of a thirty-junction gold and nickel thermoelectric sensor with an ultralow noise preamplifier, low pass filter, and lock-in amp has enabled the resolution of 50 nW power and provides the sensitivity of $11.4\;mV/{\mu}W$. The heater modulation method was used to eliminate low frequency noises from sensor output. It is measured with various heat flux fluid of DI-water to test as micro fluidic application. In order to estimate the heat generation of samples from the output measurement of a micro fluidic heat-flux sensor, a methodology for modeling and simulating electro-thermal behavior in the micro fluidic heat-flux sensor with integrated electronic circuit is presented and validated. The electro-thermal model was constructed by using system dynamics, particularly the bond graph. The electro-thermal system model in which the thermal and the electrical domain are coupled expresses the heat generation of samples converts thermal input to electrical output. The proposed electro-thermal system model shows good agreement with measured output voltage response in transient state and steady-state.
