Corrosion of brass coated steel cords in the acetonitrile solution of sulfenamide derivatives, N-Cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (CBTS), N,N'-Dicyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (DCBS), N-tert-Butylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (TBBS), N-tert-Amylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (TABS), and N-Oxydiethylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (OBTS) was investigated by potentiostatic anodic and cathodic polarization (Tafel plot), DC polarization resistance, and AC impedance measurements. The corrosion current densities and rates are 1.236 ${\mu}A /cm^2$ and 0.655 MPY for CBTS; 1.881 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ and 0.988 MPY for DCBS; 2.367 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ and 1.257 MPY for TBBS; 3.398 ${\mu}A /cm^2$ and 1.809 MPY for TABS, respectively. OBTS among derivatives under study shows the lowest corrosion density (0.546 ${\mu}A /cm^2$) and the slowest corrosion rate (0.288 MPY). Also, the charge transfer resistances and the double layer capacitances are 275.21 $k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and 7.0 ${\mu}F{cdot}cm^{-2}$ for CBTS; 14.24 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^2$ and 26 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for DCBS; 54.15 $k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and 26 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for TBBS; 0.96$k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and 83 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for TABS, respectively. The weaker the electron donating inductive effect of derivatives is and the smaller the effect of steric hindrance is, the more the corrosion of brass coated steel cords in the acetonitrile solution of sulfenamide derivatives is prevented. The above results agree with that observed in the field of tire industry.

Rack-level DC power supply is the optimal technology for providing DC power to a volume server without any power infrastructure changes in an existing AC data center. In this paper, we propose a smartly controllable and monitorable DC rack power system. The proposed system improves power efficiency by changing the power distribution architecture of a conventional method in the rack. We developed an optimal power control method in multipower modules to provide high efficiency at low loads. In addition, the proposed system provides real-time web monitoring of the rack power and environment around a rack. In our experiments, the proposed system improved the power efficiency by over 10% compared to an AC power system providing N+1 redundant power and power monitoring.

This paper presents an algorithm to reduce the time to solve Power Equations using a Neural Net. The Neural Net is trained with samples obtained through the conventional AC Load Flow. With these samples, the Neural Net is constructed and has the function of a linear interpolation network. Given arbitrary load level, this Neural Net generates voltage magnitudes and angles which are linear interpolation of real and reactive powers. Obtained voltage magnitudes and angles are substituted to Power Equations, Real and reactive powers are found. Thus, a new sample is generated. This new experience modifies weight matrix. Continuing to modify the weight matrix, the correct solution is achieved. comparing this method with AC Load flow, this method is faster. If we consider parallel processing, this method is far faster than conventional ones.

This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) influence on the steel reinforcement corrosion and compressive strength of concretes in sulphate medium. The effect of admixture of PVP in concrete on the corrosion resistance of steel reinforced concrete was assessed by measuring electrochemical test during 60 days immersion in two different external solutions. AC impedance spectrum indicated that the resistance of PVP mixed electrodes were higher than those without PVP. The compressive strength of concrete specimens containing PVP was measured and an increase of 19%~24% was observed.

We synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) by electrolysis of the pyrrole monomer solution containing support electrolyte KCl and/or p-toluene sulfonic acid sodium salt (p-TS). The electrochemical behavior was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance. In the case of using electrolyte p-TS, the redox potential was about -0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode, while the potential was about 0 V for using electrolyte KCl. It is considered as the backbone forms a queue effectively by doping p-T S. Therefore, it is possible to be arranged regularly. That leads to improvement in the electron hopping. The AC impedance plot gave a hint of betterment of mass transport. PPy doped with p-TS has improved in mass transport, or diffusion. That is because the PPy doped with p-TS has a good orientation, and is more porous than PPy with KCl.

This paper presents numerical and experimental works for simultaneous pumping and mixing small liquid using asymmetric microelectrode arrays, based on AC electroosmotic flows. To this end, four arrangements of electrode pairs were considered with diagonal/herringbone shapes. Numerical simulations were made of three-dimensional geometries by using the linear theory. The results indicated that the helical flow motions induced by the electrode arrays play a significant role in the mixing enhancement. The pumping performance was influenced by the slip velocity at the center region of the channel compared to that near the side walls. To validate the numerical predictions, the microfluidic devices were made through MEMS. The flow rate was obtained by using micro PIV, increasing the applied frequency. The electrolyte was potassium chloride solution. The flow patterns above electrodes were visualized to see lateral flow for mixing. The experimental results showed good agreements with the numerical predictions.

The hydrogel process is a different form of ultrafiltration and has been used to separate biological molecules. In this study, the gel pore size was predicted by pulse NMR technique and neural network using a database obtained from gel filtration chromatography and diffusion experiment. Recombinant alkaline phosphatase expressed in insect cells was concentratred 1.5 times by hydrogel ultrafiltration by swelling at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and collapsing at 35$^{\circ}C$ at 53-65% separation efficiency and 78-83% enzyme recovery. Wild and recombinant Autographa californica unclear polyhedrosis viruses (AcNPV) were also concentrated 1.4 and 1.6 times of the feed solution at 48.5 and 60.0% separation efficiency, respectively Hydrogel ultrafiltration appears to be an attractive alternative for the concentration of AcNPV and recombinant proteins from insect cells.

This study presents a simulation model of a heat pump air conditioning system with a variable capacity compressor and variable speeds fans for electric bus. An experimental sample has been developed in order to check results from the model. Effects on system performance of such working conditions as compressor speed, evaporator fans speeds and the condenser fans speeds have been simulated by means of developed model. The results show that the three speeds can be adjusted simultaneously according to actual working condition so that the AC system can operate under the optimum state which the control objects want to achieve. It would be a good and simple solution to extend the driving ranges of EVs because of the highest efficiency and the lowest energy consumption of AC system.

Fairchild has been developing a new class IPM called SPM consisting of dramatic Packaging technology to achieve the lowest cost rind better performance for low power home appliances and industrial AC drive applications. The first Fairchild SPM development with IGBT 600V/15A for washing machine application started in 1999 and was completed successfully. Fairchild SPMs are going to be the best solution for low power inverter-driven AC drive system after 2001. The new SPM Packages like SPM ∥ and SPIM for the next generation IPM with the highest competitiveness (cost & performance) shall be continuouslly developed.
