As power supply managements become more important than before, supplying a stable system voltage is becoming more and more critical. In this study we propose to use the advantage of weak inversion region of MOS transistors. Analog system, which uses weak inversion region, could work in low voltage environment and reduce power consumption. The proposed buck-converter in weak inversion region of MOS transistor has been verified by silicon chip.

A novel ultra-low-power readout circuit for a pH-sensitive ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) is proposed. It uses an ISFET/reference FET (REFET) differential pair operating in weak-inversion and a simple current-mode metal-oxide semiconductor FET (MOSFET) translinear circuit. Simulation results verify that the circuit operates with excellent common-mode rejection ability and good linearity for a single pH range from 4 to 10, while only 4 nA is drawn from a single 1 V supply voltage.

Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, is subject to high levels of atmospheric pollution during winter, which severely threatens the health of the population. By analyzing surface meteorological data, ground-based LIDAR data, and radiosonde data collected from 2008 to 2016, we studied seasonal variations in particulate matter (PM) concentration, visibility, relative humidity, temperature inversion layer thickness, and temperature inversion intensity. PM concentrations started to exceed the 24-h average standard ($50{\mu}g/m^3$) in mid-October and peaked from December to January. Visibility showed a significant negative correlation with PM concentration. Relative humidity was within the range of 60-80% when there were high PM concentrations. Both temperature inversion layer thickness and intensity reached maxima in January and showed similar seasonal variations with respect to PM concentration. The monthly average temperature inversion intensity showed a strong positive correlation with the monthly average $PM_{2.5}$ concentration. Furthermore, the temperature inversion layer thickness exceeded 500 m in midwinter and overlaid the weak mixed layer during daytime. Radiative cooling enhanced by the basin-like terrain led to a stable urban atmosphere, which strengthened particulate air pollution.

In urban area, inversion layer prevents air pollutants from being dispersed. To determine nocturnal inversion characteristics at SookMyung Girls' High School near high-rise residential commercial complex buildings in Seoul, air temperature and humidity data were observed at 10minute interval from December 1st, 2007 to May 2nd, 2008. Temperature-Humidity (T-H) sensors were installed at SMG (SookMyung_Ground) and SMR (SookMyung_Roof), and then these two data were compared, analyzed and examined to illustrate air temperature differences of SMG and SMR. After the analysis, the maximum nocturnal inversion was observed by $3.3^{\circ}C$ at 18:10 on December 26th 2007, at that time the weather condition was clear and weak wind. Nocturnal inversions began 2-3 hours before sunset and it reached maximum inversion just after sunset and continued through nighttime until sunrise or 1-2 hours after sunrise. In terms of seasonal variation nocturnal inversions occurred dominantly in March and April rather than winter season.

Enormous apartment complexes in urban areas, temporary inversion state and heat island effect occur due to the strong sunshine and weak wind speeds which hinders the dispersion of air pollutants that are emitted from neighboring areas of apartment complexes. In this study, analysis were conducted by using the Fluent code based on the CFD(Computation Fluid Dynamics), including building layout, material, building height from the ground surface, the heat, analysis of flow field in the apartment complex. It was estimated that the temporal radiation inversion phenomenon during the daytime, which was caused by the weak wind speed and higher temperatures in the upper level, contributed to the stagnation of the air pollutants in the lower layer of the apartment complex.

The minimum power supply voltage of a typical bandgap current reference (BGCR) is limited by operating temperature and input common mode range (ICMR) of a feedback amplifier. A new BGCR using a bandgap voltage generator (BGVG) is proposed to minimize the effect of temperature, supply voltage, and process variation. The BGVG is designed with proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) characteristic, and a feedback amplifier is designed with weak-inversion transistors for low voltage operation. It is verified with a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process with five corners for MOS transistors and three corners for BJTs. The proposed circuit is superior to other reported current references under temperature variation from $-40^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$ and power supply variation from 1.2 V to 1.8 V. The total power consumption is $126{\mu}W$ under the conditions that the power supply voltage is 1.2 V, the output current is $10{\mu}A$, and the operating temperature is $20^{\circ}C$.

Non-destructive method by tomography for safety diagnosis of civil engineering and building structures is tried. There are traveltime tomography that uses traveltime and fullwave tomography that uses the initial shock and seismic amplitude. But these methods have difficulty and weak points in accuracy and selection of initial value. In this study, corrected inversion method which is able to solve the two difficulty and this method is applied to theoretical pier model to calculate tomography.

본 논문에서는 $0.35-{\mu}m$ standard CMOS 공정에서 낮은 전력을 소모하면서 낮은 전원전압에서 동작하는 곡률보상 기능을 갖는 기준전류/전압 발생 회로를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 weak-inversion 영역에서 동작하는 MOS 트랜지스터들을 사용함으로써 1V 이하 전원전압에서 동작할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안되는 곡률보상 기술을 사용하여 기존의 곡률보상 기능이 없는 BGR 회로들처럼 종 모양이 아닌 사인 곡선과 같은 모양을 나타내 작은 TC 값을 보여준다. 제안된 회로들은 모두 0.9V의 전원전압에서 동작한다. 먼저, 기준전압 발생 회로는 176nW 전력을 소모하며, 온도 계수는 $26.4ppm/^{\circ}C$이다. 기준전류 발생 회로는 194.3nW 전력을 소모하며, 온도 계수는 $13.3ppm/^{\circ}C$이다.

To determine nocturnal inversion characteristics at the leeward side of high-rise building, air temperature data were observed at 10 minute interval from February 22, 2010 to April 15, 2010. The observed data were compared, analyzed and examined to illustrate air temperature differences between the roof (XAR) and surface (XAG) of X apartment. The wind speed, wind direction and precipitation data were also observed at XAR and YJL (Yangjae Stream) sites at the same time. After the analysis, the maximum nocturnal inversion was observed by $4.0^{\circ}C$ at 3:40, 3:50, 4:10 on February 24th 2010, at that time the weather condition was clear and weak wind. Air temperature inversions at the leeward side of high-rise building were observed on whole day in wintertime and air temperature inversion intensity was also higher than other nearby area (SMG).

석유탐사 분야에서 탐사대상이 되는 저류층이 갈수록 심부화되고 복잡한 지층 구조로 옮겨감에 따라 암염층 하부 구조를 영상화하는 기술은 석유 및 가스층의 탐지를 위해 매우 중요하게 부각되고 있다. 그러나 암염돔 구조의 특성상 안염돔 하부로부터의 반사 에너지가 미약하기 때문에 하부구조의 정확한 영상을 얻기는 힘들다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하고자 본 연구에서는 암염돔 하부 구조 영상화를 위해 다중격자(multi-grid) 기법을 사용하여 파형역산을 수행하였다. 고정격자를 이용한 통상적인 주파수 영역 파형역산 기법으로 얻은 결과와의 비교를 통해 암염돔 구조 및 하부 구조의 영상화에서 다중격자를 적용한 파형역산 기법의 장점을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 고정격자를 이용한 파형역산 기법으로 정확한 영상을 얻기 어려웠던 암염돔 구조에서도 다중격자를 적용하여 향상된 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 보여 주었다.
