In order to develope high concentration$\cdot$yield ozonizer, superposed discharge type ozonizer using overlap of silent discharge and internal electrode of mesh type has been designed and manufactured. It consists of three electrodes(central electrode, internal electrode and external electrode) and double gaps(gap between central electrode and internal electrode, gap between internal electrode and external electrode). Therefore, ozone is generated by overlapping silent discharges generated between the gaps respectively for which the AC high voltages applied to the internal electrode and the external electrode has a $180{[^\circ]}$ phase difference and for which the central electrode is a ground Ozone generation characteristics proportional to mesh of internal electrode by increasing of discharge electrode and controlling of discharge power density. As a result, the in maximum ozone concentration, generation, and yield can be obtained 17,720[ppm], 5.4[g/h], and 205[g/kwh] respectively.

All-vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are used as energy storage systems for multiple intermittent power sources. The performance of the VRFBs depends on the materials and operating conditions. Hence, performance characterization is of great importance in the development of the VRFBs. This paper proposes a method for determining the maximum current density based on stoichiometric ratios. A laboratory-scaled VRFB with a projected electrode area of $25cm^2$ is electrically charged when the state of the charge has begun from 0.6. The operating conditions, such as current density and volumetric flow rate are important in the test, and the maximum current density is influenced by the mass transfer coefficient. The results show that increasing the electrolyte flow rate from 5 mL/min to 60 mL/min enhances the maximum current density up to $520mA/cm^2$.

In a test duct with closed configuration, particle removal performance of an edge-plate type electrostatic precipitator (ESP) was evaluated at a high flow rate in $CO_2$ rich environments by changing gap distances between collection plates, concentrations of $CO_2$, particle sizes, types of electrodes, and types of power supplies. At the same experimental conditions, collection efficiency of particles with the mean particle size, 300 nm, decreased as the gap distance and $CO_2$ concentration increased because of low electrostatic force and low discharged current. In addition, as the particle size increased, the efficiency increased because of high charging rate of the large particles. With the electrode type which has higher surface area of a discharging plate and with the power supply which applied 25 kHz-pulsed DC voltages, the removal efficiency was high even in rich $CO_2$ condition due to high electrostatic force at the same power consumption.

Recently, ozone is utilized in various fields and its needs are expanding. In this paper, glass and ceramic plate tyre ozonizer have been fabricated to investigate discharge parameter(input power, flow rate of supplied gas, electrode form, etc.) effect to discharge. And the conditions of discharge parameter have been investigated for optimum ozone generation. Ozone concentration is continuously increased with increasing input power for same discharge space, and ozone yield is also increased until maximum point after that it is saturated. Ozone concentration is inversely proportional to flow rate of supplied gas but ozone generation and ozone vield characteristics are improved.

This paper presents a method for determining machining parameters in 3-dimentional electrical discharge machining(EDM). The parameters are the peak value of currents, the pulse-on time, and the pulse-off time. It is known that they influence the performance of EDM more than the other else. The parameters are determined from the discharge area between a tool electrode and a work piece. The discharge area is directly influenced by the geometry of a tool surface and the tool discharge position. The discharge area on a tool discharge position is calculated from intersection curves between the tool surface and a horizontal plane. The grid search method is applied to determine the intersection curves. An example is introduced to show that the machining parameters are obtained from the surface geometry of a tool electrode.

In this paper, small-area and high-reliability design techniques of a 512-bit EEPROM are designed for UHF RFID tag chips. For a small-area technique, there are a WL driver circuit simplifying its decoding logic and a VREF generator using a resistor divider instead of a BGR. The layout size of the designed 512-bit EEPROM IP with MagnaChip's $0.18{\mu}m$ EEPROM is $59.465{\mu}m{\times}366.76{\mu}m$ which is 16.7% smaller than the conventional counterpart. Also, we solve a problem of breaking 5V devices by keeping VDDP voltage constant since a boosted output from a DC-DC converter is made discharge to the common ground VSS instead of VDDP (=3.15V) in getting out of the write mode.

Plasma blasting by high voltage arc discharge were performed in laboratory-scale soil samples to investigate the fluid penetration efficiency. A plasma blasting device with a large-capacity capacitor and columnar soil samples with a diameter of 80 cm and a height of 60 cm were prepared. Columnar soil samples consist of seven A-samples mixed with sand and silt by ratio of 7:3 and three B-samples by ratio of 9:1. When fluid was injected into A-sample by pressure without plasma blasting, fluid penetrated into soil only near around the borehole, and penetration area ratio was less than 5%. Fluid was injected by plasma blasting with three different discharge energies of 1 kJ, 4 kJ and 9 kJ. When plasma blasting was performed once in the A-samples, penetration area ratios of the fluid were 16-25%. Penetration area ratios were 30-48% when blastings were executed five times consecutively. The largest penetration area by plasma blasting was 9.6 times larger than that by fluid injection by pressure. This indicates that the higher discharge energy of plasma blasting and the more numbers of blasting are, the larger are fluid penetration areas. When five consecutive plasma blasting were carried out in B-sample, fluid penetration area ratios were 33-59%. Penetration areas into B-samples were 1.1-1.4 times larger than those in A-samples when test conditions were the same, indicating that the higher permeability of soil is, the larger is fluid penetration area. The fluid penetration radius was calculated to figure out fluid penetration volume. When the fluid was injected by pressure, the penetration radius was 9 cm. Whereas, the penetration radius was 27-30 cm when blasting were performed 5 times with energy of 9 kJ. The radius increased up to 333% by plasma blasting. All these results indicate that cleaning agent penetrates further and remediation efficiency of contaminated soil will be improved if plasma blasting technology is applied to in situ cleaning of contaminated soil with low permeability.

최근들어 저온플라즈마를 이용한 생물학적 응용분야가 각광을 받고 있다. 특히 전기전도도를 가진 전해질 내에서 형성된 액상 플라즈마는 열손상없이 암, 세균 및 비정상 장기조직의 제거가 가능하다는 점에서 기존 시술들이 가지는 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 허리통증을 유발하는 탈출 수핵을 대용량으로 제거하기위한 플라즈마발생 전극에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 수핵 분해량을 늘리기 위해서는 플라즈마를 통하여 다량의 수산화기 라디컬을 형성, 수핵표면에 조사해야 한다. 이를 위하여 6개의 텅스텐 전극표면에서 기포를 발생시켜 플라즈마 발생면적을 넓힐 수 있었다. 텅스텐 전극들은 캡톤코딩과 세라믹 스페이서를 통하여 분리되었고, 전극의 후방에는 SUS 재질의 환형 접지전극을 배치하여 6개의 텅스텐 전극표면에서 모두 기포가 발생할 수 있도록 하였다. 시술적용시 플라즈마 및 전극이 가지는 제한 조건은 단백질 변성을 막기위한 섭씨 45도 이하의 온도 상승과 조직에 대한 기계적인 손상 방지를 위한 2.5 mm 이하의 전체 전극 굵기이다. 이를 만족하는 가운데 수산화기 라디컬 형성을 증대할 수 있는 전극의 구조를 결정하기 위하여 1-D 전기 열유체 모델 도입하였다. 모델에서 도출된 기포의 두께를 바탕으로 다중전극간의 거리 조절을 통하여 플라즈마 방전구조를 전극 - 전극 (기포두께${\times}2$ > 전극간 거리)과 전극 - 기포표면 (기포두께${\times}2$ < 전극간 거리)으로 통제하였다. 형성된 플라즈마의 소모전력, 전자 밀도및 수산화기 라디컬의 회전온도를 분석하기 위하여 0.9% 염화나트륨 수용액, 1.6 S/m, 전해질에서 플라즈마 형성를 형성하고 전기신호 및 광학신호를 관측하였다. 전극에 인가된 전압은 340 VRMS이며 운전주파수는 380 kHz이다. 실험 결과, 전극 - 기포표면 방전구조는 전극 -전극 방전구조에 비하여 전해질의 저항역할로 인하여 방전전류가 3.4 Ipp에서 1.6 Ipp로 감소하였으나, 기포표면에서의 물분자의 분해로 인하여 수산화기 라디컬에서의 발광세기는 약 4배 증가하였다. 또한 수산화기의 회전온도 분포상에서도 전극 - 기포표면 방전은 주변 물분자의 열교환으로 인하여 전극 -전극간 방전의 1500K 에 비하여 낮은 400K를 보였다. 이는 전극-기포표면 방전구조의 전극이 낮은 온도의 수산화기를 다량으로 형성할 수 있음을 시사하며, 카데바를 이용한 실험에서 220초에 걸쳐 약 87%의 수핵을 기계적 손상 및 단백질 변형없이 효과적으로 제거함을 확인하였다.

The morphology changes of cadmium hydroxide into ${\gamma}$ phase by eletrolytes were carried out to improve the high rate charge and discharge efficiency of pasted cadmium electrodes. KOH solutions with different concentrations of NaOH were used as eletrolytes. It was found that the utilization of active material of cadmium electrode was the best in an electrolyte with 1.82 M NaOH. The amount of ${\gamma}-Cd(OH)_2$ increased in proportion to the concentration of NaOH. The surface area measurement showed that an active material which contained mainly ${\gamma}-Cd(OH)_2$ had a higher specific surface area than an active material of ${\beta}-Cd(OH)_2$. In a sealed cell, the discharge capacity was improved at high rate charge and discharge (1.0 C, 2.0 C) by using an electrolyte with NaOH. Furthermore, these improved performances were maintained up to 500 cycles at 1.0 C rate charge and discharge cycles.
