  • Publication number: 20080190774
    Abstract: Disclosed is a silver ion water generating apparatus which can improve sterilizing and purifying forces even in a large water tank by widening the contact surface of silver as same weight increasing the amount of the generated silver ions, can be easily maintained by facilitating the exchange of a silver foam, and can prevent the silver ion water from not being properly generated due to the inferiority of current flow between the silver foam and the electrode terminal in use. The silver ion generating apparatus is consist of a water tank for storing water and positive and negative electrodes installed in the interior of the water tank. The positive electrode includes a silver foam in which open cells are formed. A plurality of conductive net bodies connected to an exterior positive electrode terminal are detachably installed in the interior of the water tank. Each silver foam is accommodated in the interior of the conductive net body.

  • Publication number: 20080069290
    Abstract: An integrated monitoring method and a system using the same which can monitor structural integrity or an operating state of a nuclear device are provided. One integrated analysis unit receives a plurality of signals in order to integrate, mutually exchange, and analyze from a plurality of heterogeneous sensors installed in the nuclear device. The integrated analysis unit may notify an operator with an alarm since an alarm unit may be adhered to the integrated analysis unit. Accordingly, the present invention may provide accurate, useful, and various information due to integration of the sensor signal while not increasing a number of installed sensors, manufacture a simulator by generating a database of the sensor signals, or use a past signal as data for an optimum design by researching and analyzing the past signal.

  • Patent number: 7276405
    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a power semiconductor device includes a first drift region of a first conductivity type extending over a semiconductor substrate. The first drift region has a lower impurity concentration than the semiconductor substrate. A second drift region of the first conductivity type extends over the first drift region, and has a higher impurity concentration than the first drift region. A plurality of stripe-shaped body regions of a second conductivity type are formed in an upper portion of the second drift region. A third region of the first conductivity type is formed in an upper portion of each body region so as to form a channel region in each body region between the third region and the second drift region. A gate electrode laterally extends over but is insulated from: (i) the channel region in each body region, (ii) a surface area of the second drift region between adjacent stripes of body regions, and (iii) a surface portion of each source region.
