In this experimental study we propose the double dielectric barrier discharge(DDBD) reactor to produce as high an electric field as possible. DDBD reactor is designed to remove $NO_x$ at atmospheric pressures from the moving pollution source such as diesel automobile DDBD reactor consisted of two cylinder glass tubes arranged so that the gas flow was directed between the two tubes. Inside of the inner tube was filled with small metal beads and outside of the inner tube was wounded with stainless wire to form the electrode. The outer tube was surrounded by an aluminum foil In this reactor there are three electrodes, i.e. metal bead(C), helical wire(I) and aluminum foil(0). By using DDBD reactor we will report some interesting results of treatment of the gas which is the dilute mixtures of NO in N2. And then we compared thee results with the results of cylinder-wire(CW) which is one of popularly used reactor in non-thermal plasma applications.

In this paper, a new energy harvesting technology using stray electric field of an electric power line is presented. It is found that energy can be harvested and stored in the storage capacitor that is connected to a cylindrical aluminum foil wrapped around a commercial insulated 220 V power line. The average current flowing into 47 ${\mu}F$ storage capacitor is about 4.53 ${\mu}A$ with 60 cm long cylindrical aluminum foil, and it is possible to operate wireless sensor node to transmit RF data every 42 seconds. The harvested average power is about 47 ${\mu}W$ in this case. Since the energy can be harvested without removing insulating sheath, it is believed that the proposed harvesting technology can be applied to power the sensor nodes in wireless ubiquitous sensor network and smart grid system.

Studies were made to investigate the influence of vacuum packing after irradiating mean doses of gamma ray at freezing temperature $(-20^{\circ}C)$ on the keeping quality and color of raw beef. Fresh round steaks were packaged anaerobically in aluminum foil, and irradiated with 0.25 and 0.5 Mrad followed by storage at $5^{\circ}C$. The shelf life of beef irradiated with 0.5 Mrad could be extended about 10 days longer than unirradiated, and the off-odors was not developed. The discoloration by irradiation was shown, but soon reverted to about 90 percentage myoglobin in 20 hours.

$ZrO_2$ films were coated on aluminum etching foil by the sol-gel method to apply $ZrO_2$ as a dielectric material in an aluminum(Al) electrolytic capacitor. $ZrO_2$ films annealed above $450^{\circ}C$ appeared to have a tetragonal structure. The withdrawal speed during dip-coating, and the annealing temperature, influenced crack-growth in the films. The $ZrO_2$ films annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited a dielectric constant of 33 at 1 kHz. Also, uniform $ZrO_2$ tunnels formed in Al etch-pits $1{\mu}m$ in diameter. However, $ZrO_2$ film of 100-200 nm thickness showed the withstanding voltage of 15 V, which was unsuitable for a high-voltage capacitor. In order to improve the withstanding voltage, $ZrO_2$-coated Al etching foils were anodized at 300 V. After being anodized, the $Al_2O_3$ film grew in the directions of both the Al-metal matrix and the $ZrO_2$ film, and the $ZrO_2$-coated Al foil showed a withstanding voltage of 300 V. However, the capacitance of the $ZrO_2$-coated Al foil exhibited only a small increase because the thickness of the $Al_2O_3$ film was 4-5 times thicker than that of $ZrO_2$ film.

Two dimensional modeling was carried out to find the safety distance between the defrost heater and the plastic inner wall of domestic refrigerator Estimation was processed for the three cases; the estimation of plastic wall temperature (1) without any protection, (2) with an aluminum foil attached on a wall, and (3) with an aluminum shield installed between heater and wall. The former two cases are found to be dangerous during defrosting process, because the temperatures of inner wall reach above 80'C , which is the upper temperature limit of the wall material. The case with an aluminum shield is considered to be safe by maintaining the temperature of the wall in the range of 6$0^{\circ}C$ during defrosting process.

Experiments on electorchemical etching of aluminum foils with high cubic textures were carried out in this study. Etching behaviours and pit shapes with respect to various conditions of eletrochemical etching were in-vestigated. When HCl and NaCl solutions were used as electrolytes, the highest capacitanes were observed in solutions of 1MHCl and 5M NaCl. It was foundd that capacitance was improved by addition of H2SO4 to HCl so-lution which is considered to be due to the suppression of oxide film formation on the aluminum surface. The homogeneous distribution of each pits obtained in the HCl solution, while the degree of weight loss was lowest in the Nacl solution. The best etching properties in 1M HCl solution were obtained at the etching condi-tions of 0.15 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 150sec and$ 90^{\circ}C$.

In order to accelerate the sintering of Al-Bronze powder covered with passive oxide film, we focused on the way to add Al-Ca fluoride consisting of $AlF_3$ and $CaF_2$, examined the effect of the $CaF_2$ mixing rate in Al-Ca fluoride, the amount of the added Al-Ca fluoride and the sintering temperature on sintering properties of Al-Bronze powder and considered the mechanism of the sintering acceleration. Al-Bronze powder was sintered most effectively by adding Al-Ca fluoride with the $CaF_2$ mixing rate of 20mass%. If the amount of added fluoride was over 0.05mass% and the sintering temperature was over 1123K, the sintering acceleration of the Al-Bronze powder appears. Regarding the mechanism of the sintering acceleration, it was presumed that $Al_2O_3$ film on the surface of the Al-Bronze particles was removed in the process of the formation of gaseous AlOF by the reaction with $AlF_3$, and the reaction was accelerated further by the presence of the liquid phase which is formed in Al-Ca fluoride.

High surface area electrodes for aluminum electrolytic capacitors are produced by AC electrochemical processes. Optimization of crystallographic etch pit growth on aluminium during AC etching of cathode film for aluminium as electrolytic capacitor has been established. In this work, we present the observations of pit distributions by galvanostatic measurements. The effects of electrolyte concentration, current density, frequency, various pre-treatments and etching time have been studied. The specimen was pretreated in 0.5M NaOH and 1M HCl at $40\sim60^{\circ}C$, and transferred into a cell containing 1M HCl, then various mol $H_2SO_4$ etchant was added. Pit size distributions were determined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Aluminium foil for electrolytic capacitors was anodized at the voltage of 100V and 140V for 10 minutes in ammonium adipate solution to form aluminum oxide layer on aluminum substrate as an dielectric film. The thickness, the stoichiometry and the crystal structure of the layer were investigated by using RBS and TEM . In addition EIS technique was employed to study the effects of addition of sulfuric acid on the increment of the foil surface area. It was found that the thickness values of the layers anodized at 100V and 140V were about 130 nm and 190 nm respectively and the stoichiometry of the elements of aluminum and oxygen was 2:3. The anodic oxide layer was shown to be amorphous. but the structure irradiated with electron beam resulted in the transformation into crystalline structure of $${\gamma}$-Al_2$$O_3$ . From a comparison of the impedance results and the capacitance variation to investigate the ef- fects of sulfuric acid addition to the etching bath of hydrochloric acid, the EIS techinque could be useful to analyze the capacitance variation.

The energy spectra for electron beam of medical linear accelerator were calculated using a GEANT4 Medical Linac 2 example code. The incident electron mean energy were 6, 9, 12, 16, 20 MeV. This code was designed to calculate electron beam energy spectra according to material, thickness and location of electron scattering foil affecting electron beam characteristic. Lead, Copper, Aluminum and Gold were used for scattering foil. The energy distribution for electron and photon were analyzed by changing position of scattering foil in the head of linear accelerator. The effect of electron scattering foil on energy spectra which is basic data of simulation for medical linear accelerator were presented. The calculated results would be used in design of medical accelerator head.
