In this study, a single-stage, four-phase, interleaved, totem-pole AC-DC converter is proposed for a super-fast charger station that requires high power, a wide voltage range, and bidirectional operation capabilities and adopts various types of electric transport vehicles. The proposed topology is based on current-fed push-pull dual active bridge converter combined with the totem-pole operation. Owing to the four-phase interleaving effect, the bridge on the grid side can switch at 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 to achieve a ripple-free grid current. The input filter can be removed theoretically. Switching methods for the duty of the secondary-side duty cycle are proposed, and they correspond to the primary duty cycle for reducing the circulating power and handling the total harmonic distortion. Therefore, the converter can operate under a wide voltage range. Experimental results from a 7.5 kW prototype are used to validate the proposed concept.

For the application to the direction finding(DF) antenna for V/UHF bands, circular active array composed of 9 dipole element has been investigate. For miniaturization of the overall size array, the element has been chosen to be of the top-hat dipole type. For the broadband operation over 20-1300MHz, some number of pin diodes have been inserted in each arms of each dipole element. By employing this type of each element dipole, the effective dipole length can be increased or decreased according as the inserted pin diodes is on or off. The active array antenna has been design to be directly connected to the balanced push full amplifier such that the amplifier may play a role as a balloon and may improve the sensitivity as a receiver as well. The active array antenna has been designed and fabricated. Some experimental results have been presented in comparison with simulated results.

A field based non-destructive hardness method is being developed to determine plastic strain in steel elements subjected to seismic loading. The focus of this study is on the active links of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The 2010/2011 Christchurch earthquake series, especially the very intense February 22 shaking, which was the first earthquake worldwide to push complete EBF systems into their inelastic state, generating a moderate to high level of plastic strain in EBF active links for a range of buildings from 3 to 23 storeys in height. Plastic deformation was confined to the active links. This raised two important questions: what was the extent of plastic deformation and what effect does that have on post-earthquake steel properties? A non-destructive hardness test method is being used to determine a relationship between hardness and plastic strain in active link beams. Active links from the earthquake affected, 23-storey Pacific Tower building in Christchurch are being analysed in the field and laboratory. Test results to date show clear evidence that this method is able to give a good relationship between plastic strain and demand. This paper presents significant findings from this project to investigate the relationship between hardness and plastic strain that warrant publication prior to the completion of the project. Principal of these is the discovery that hot rolled steel beams carry manufacturing induced plastic strains, in regions of the webs, of up to 5%.

This paper presents a single-phase grid connected voltage-ed inverter with a power decoupling circuit. In the single-phase grid connected voltage-ed inverter, it is well known that a power pulsation with twice the grid frequency is contained in the input power. In a conventional voltage type inverter, electrolytic capacitors with large capacitance have been used in order to smooth the DC voltage. However, lifetime of those capacitors is shortened by the power pulsation with twice grid frequency. The authors have been studied a active power decoupling(APD) method that reduce the pulsating power on the input DC bus line, this enables to transfer the ripple energy appeared on the input DC capacitors into the energy in a small film capacitor on the additional circuit. Hence, extension of the lifetime of the inverter can be expected because the small film capacitor substitutes for the large electrolytic capacitors. Finally, simulation and experimental results are discussed.

Novel class AB CMOS second-generation current conveyors (CCII) using 0.6.mu.m n-well CMOS process for high-frequency current-mode signal processing were developed. The CCII for low power operation consists of a class AB push-pull stage for the current input, a complementary source follower for the voltage input, and a cascode current mirror for the current output. In this architecture, the two input stages are coupled by current mirrors to reduce the current input impedance. Measurements of the fabricated CCII show that the current input impedance is 875.ohm. and the bandwidth of flat gain when used as a voltage amplifier extends beyond 4MHz. The power dissipation is 1.25mW and the active chip area is 0.2*0.15[mm$\^$2/].

The development of food science in the near future probably depends on the advance in functional food science. Actually, a number of substances and products with potential for disease risk reduction rather than simply for health maintenance have been investigated for their body-modulating functions. Some of them have been applied in practice to the industrialization of functional foods in terms of foods for health uses. Health is becoming a more important aspect of food. Consumers increasingly see the link between food and health, thus generating growing levels of consumer interest in more actively managing their diets and, by implication, their health. there is demand from consumers and strong manufacturer push towards the development of food as medicine. Pharmaceutical companies are currently focused on the medical aspects of food as medicine, but it is expected that there will be an increase in the rate of active ingredients for lifestyle application.

With the advent of power semiconductor switching devices, power electronics relating to high frequency electromagnetic eddy current based induction heating technology have become more suitable and acceptable. This paper presents high-frequency induction heating cooking appliance circuit based on the zero current switching-PWM single ended push-pull(ZCS-PWM SEPP) resonant inverter added AC-DC converter. This inverter uses pulse-width-modulation(PWM) control method with active auxiliary quasi-resonant lossless inductor snubbers and a switched capacitor. To improved the transient performance, the PI controller is applied for this system. For the systematic parameter optimization of the PI controller, the gradient-based optimization algorithm is applied. The performance of optimized parameters is evaluated using simulation and experimental test. These results show that the proposed systematic optimal tuning method improve the transient performances of this system.
