We developed a PC-based 8-channel electrical stimulation system for transcutaneous functional electrical stimulation (FES), and applied it to FES exercise and paraplegic walking. The PC program consists of four parts: a database, a stimulation pattern generator, a stimulus parameter converter, and an exercise program. The stimulation pattern can be arbitrarily generated and edited by using the mouse on the PC screen, and the resulting stimulus parameters arc extracted from the recruitment curves, and transmitted to the 8-channel stimulator through the serial port. The stimulator has nine microprocessors: one master and eight slaves, Each channel is controlled by the slave microprocessor, and is operated independently. Clinical application of the system to a paraplegic patient showed significant increase in the knee extensor torque, the fatigue resistance, and the leg circumference, The patient can now walk about 50 meters for more than 2 minutes.

We found that there exists a flow inside a droplet in AC electrowetting, which is distinct from DC electrowetting. In order to investigate the origin of the flow inside the droplet, we performed an experiment and numerical simulation. It is conjecture, based on the results of the experiment and numerical simulation, the flow is caused by the so called induced-charge electroosmosis at high frequencies, and by droplet oscillation at low frequencies.

This paper presents prediction of insulation lifetime in stress. Essentially, Epoxy resin, when it was subjected to different types of aging condition, produced to varieties of electrical properties and lifetime using spectroscopy and breakdown test. The relationships between the structural and electrical changes of aged epoxy were Investigated.

A physical analysis is applied to the measured phenomena of aromatic organic compounds under the uniform electric field of 0.1MV/cm through 1.5MV/cm, when they are irradiated or non-irradiated respectively. Upon the observations about irradiation effects, space charge effects and their temperature dependance, the conditions of lattice defects act conspicuously on electric conductrivity, photo conductivity and dielectric breakdown. Although the qualitative agreement with Frohlich's high energy criterion theory for the above mechanisms is poor, it is concluded that the phenomena of aromatic compounds may possibly be due to the effect of lattice defects or impurity centers generated by .gamma.-ray irradiations.

The electrical neuronal model described in this paper simulates the most important functional properties of nerve cells. An model circuit incorporating many of the digital and analog properties of neurons is described. Having such properties as variable threshold level, action potential, summation, all-or-none output, absolute and relative refract oriness, and ingibition, it exhibits a considerable amount of functional equivalence to biological structures. This electrical neuronal model has utility not only for studying single unit properties but also for investigating group interactions. Such studies may be relevent to elucidation of neuronal network behavior.

In this pater, we have proposed a synthetic main chopper circuit for the chopper controlled electric automobile. The proposed chopper circuit operates as a step-down chopper in powering mode and as a polarity reversion type chopper in regenerative braking mode. In this study, it was found that powering and regenerative braking operations using the separately excited D.C motor can be controlled continuously only by gate signals of the chopper without changing the connection of the circuit.

In this paper, to implement the electrical equivalent modeling of powder electroluminescent device, capacitate equation of device was chosen. The conventional structure device which have dielectric and phosphor layer between electrodes, and the single emission structure device which means that dielectric and phosphor were mixed between electrodes, were investigated. As a result, it was possible to make the equation that is transferred capacitance to phosphor layer, and using measured brightness efficiency and conductivity of devices was calculated.

Effects of types of semicon compounds on electrical properties of XLPE were investigated. The amounts of charge of XLPE were changed with the contents of additive included in semicon electrodes, but homocharge in cathode was observed. In the aging experiment under high voltage, it was found that semiconductive layer with high impurity contents played an important role in the decrease of ACBD strength of XLPE.

This paper proposes a novel UPFE based on H-bridge modules, isolated through single-phase multi-winding transformers. The dynamic performance of proposed system was analyzed by simulation with EMTDC, assuming that the UPFC is connected with the 138-kV transmission line of one-machine-infinite-bus power system. The proposed system can be directly connected to the transmission line without series injection transformers. It has flexibility in expanding the operation voltage by increasing the number of H-bridge modules.

In order to elucidate the electrical and mechanical properties of insulating paper, it is desirable to study the performances of tensile strength, dielectric constant, dielectric strength. In this work, we constructed the characteristics depending on change of fabrication condition, and these specimens were manufactured by hot press method. As a result, tensile strength was about 75MPa and breakdown was above 5 kV/mm at the minimum value.
