Various portable analyzers developed

Jo Apr 22, 2020

Research team led by Kim Kum Chol, the laboratory head from the Faculty of Electronics, developed various high-efficiency portable analyzers with self-technology and is gaining public favors from various fields of national economy.

Colon bacilli analyzer developed by the research team analyzes colon bacilli in water, whose measurement range is 0~1 000/mL, minimum disjointing capability is 1/mL. Toxic gas analyzer analyzes CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, O3, H2S etc. in the air and its measurement range is 0~1 000ppm, minimum disjointing capability is 0.1ppm, analyzing time is less than 10s. The measurement range of procedure saltiness gauge used in the analysis of saltiness for underground ultra-salty water, soya and bean paste production process of basic foodstuff factories, saltiness of seawater, boiler feed water etc. is 0~30%, minimum disjointing capability is 0.1ppm. Of turbidity analyzer, measurement range is 0~10NTU and minimum disjointing capability is 0.1NTU. They are now developing their research work for further enhancing the accuracy of their analyzers.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un sent a birthday spread to Kim Jong Il Prize winner, Prof. and Dr. Ri Si Hup, a researcher of Faculty of Materials Science and Technology marking his 80th birthday.

Since he graduated from the university, Dr. Ri Si Hup worked as a researcher, vice-dean of science affairs, manager of scientific research and vice-president of science affairs for 51 years under the warm care of the Party. In those days he trained over ten science talents including doctors and wrote several books worth a treasure of the country such as “Encyclopedia of Metallic Materials” as well as 16 kinds of textbooks, reference books and essays of more than 40 000 pages, thus making a great contribution to the strengthening of the academic foundations for the major field.

Upholding the Party’s policy of giving priority to the science and technology, he waged a vigorous struggle to challenge others in terms of talent and search so as to complete research tasks arising in various sectors of the national economy and in the development of science and technology on the highest level. His achievements brought great pleasures to the great leaders and the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un several times.

Highly praising his achievement in the scientific research, the great leaders and the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un gave him thanks several times, awarded official commendations including the watch with the august name of the President, conferred the doctor’s degree and professor’s title, held him up to be the winner of Kim Jong Il Prize, the supreme honor of a citizen, and gave him honor to take part in a number of conferences including the National Conference of Intellectuals and had a photo session with him.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un learnt in person his birthday even in the busy days of revolutionary leadership and showed great benevolence of sending the birthday spread.

Receiving the spread full of love of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, he and his family, moved and excited, made up their minds to devote all their wisdom and passion to the breakthrough head-on to open up a new road for the building of a powerful socialist country.

Position Sensitive detector Developed

Jo Apr 2, 2020

The research group including Pak Pyong Su, a head of lab the of Semiconductor Institute, developed entirely in our own way the position sensitive detector available for all kinds of precision devices such as an electronic scale, a range finding system, a bevel gauge, a vibrometer, and other displacement sensing elements and are now expanding its achievements.

The element has a non-linearity error of 0.1% and position sensitivity of 0.2 to 0.3㎛.

The Codechef March Long Challenge took place from March 6 to 16, 2020.

To this contest were drawn 15 915 students and program experts from more than 70 countries including China, Iran, Russia and India. It was divided into Div.1 and Div.2; in the former 518 contestants entered, in the latter 15 397 contestants did.

9 problems were submitted in each division, including 1 challenge problem.

The students in the Faculty of Information Science & Technology solved all problems submitted to each division, thus winning the 1st place with the top score of 900.

High-voltage Water Heater Developed

Jo Mar 13, 2020

Head of lab, Jang Ki Ho and other researchers at Faculty of Heat Engineering have developed a high-voltage water heater of 1~3MW. The advantages of this over the conventional electric heating boiler and the boilers that use heavy oil, gas or coal include less consumption of electric power, less amount of space for installation, less initial investment and environmental friendliness.

In particular, this heater serves as a major means to relieve the load shake in the generation of electricity by renewable energy.

Animation Colouring Software Developed

Jo Mar 12, 2020

Department head Kim Thae Song, lecturer Kim Myong Jun and their colleagues at Faculty of Information science and technology have developed a colour-mixing software for animation which enables the conformity of brightness, contrast, hue etc. of different types of video recorders and different time of filming. At the end of a year-long research, they succeeded in developing “Animation Coloring Software” of our own style, which has combined dozens of coloring functions including adjustment of colour range and hue, thus making a great contribution to the modernization of TV broadcast.
