In CVT vehicle, the engine speed is completely decoupled from the vehicle speed within the range from maximum transmission ratio to minimum transmission ratio. This allows the engine to operate in optimal state(e.g. best fuel economy or maximum power mode.) In this study, the CVT control algorithm for optimal operation of engine is suggested. In order to implement the real time digital control of electro-hydraulic CVT system, a software called CVTCON has been developed. CVTCON also includes the CVT operation module, (2) system test module, (3) system control module and (4) data management module. By using the CVTCON and the electro-hydraulic CVT system, two modes of experiments were carried out: constant throttle opening mode and acceleration mode. From the experimental result, it was found that the algorithm suggested in this study showed optimal operation of the CVT system.

The present paper deals with the crushing characteristics of double hatted-section tube used in body structure of passenger car. Being crushed, a double hatted-section tube shows symmetric or antisymmetric buckling mode according to section aspect ratio and flange size. Zone of buckling mode is shown by numerical methods. It is supposed that crippling behavior of double hatted-section tube corresponds with rectangular tube without flange. Crippling plate coefficient is also calculated when section aspect ratio of tube is higher than one.

A majority of piping vibration problems are induced by internal fluid pulsation; turbulent flow, vortex shedding at internal discontinuities, and pressure pulsation at equipment nozzles. The pulsation at the pressure sources resonates acoustically with the piping and the amplified pressure pulsation can generate shell mode vibration in the piping. Reheater attemperator piping supplies water from feedwater pump to reheater attemperator to control the boiler temperature. In normal operating condition, the high frequency shell mode vibration occurred in the piping with the high level of sound(105 ${\sim}$ 117 dB). The vibration sources are pressure pulsation in the pump nozzle and the frequencies are related to the blade passing frequencies. The objects of this paper are to analyze the cause of the high frequency vibration and to establish corrective actions.

The higher mode cutoff frequencies in Crawford TEM cells computed by the Galerkin method(GM) describe in this paper. The authors also report the half mode boundaries to solve not only the cut-off frequencies of symmetric TEM cells and those of asymmetric TEM cells. It is shown that the measured resonant frequencies of the present symmetric TEM cells and a designed asymmetric TEM cell are agreed with the calculated results.

Switching power supply systems are widely used in many industrial fields. Power factor correction (PFC) circuits have a tendency to be applied in new power supply designs. The input active power factor correction (APFC) circuits can be implemented in either the two-stage approach or the single-stage approach. The two-stage approach can be classified into boost type PFC circuit and dc/dc converter. The power factor correction circuit with a boost converter used as an input power source is studied in this paper. In a boost power factor correction circuit there are two feedback control loops, which are a current feedback loop and a voltage feedback loop. In this paper, the regulation performance of output voltage and compensator to improve the transient response presented at the continuous conduction mode (CCM) of the boost PFC circuit is analyzed. The validity of designed boost PFC circuit is confirmed by MATLAB simulation and experimental results.

A single-stage high-power-factor electron ic ballast operating in critical conduction mode is presented in this paper. The proposed topology is based on integration of a boost-like converter and a LCC Type half-bridge serial resonant inverter. The power-factor-correction(PFC) stage is a boost-like converter operating in critical conduction mode for positive and negative half cycle voltage respectively at line frequency (60Hz) so that a high power factor is achieved naturally. The simulated and experimental results for 100w fluorescent lamps operating at 42kHz switching frequency and 220V line voltage have been obtained.

This paper describes a boost converter to be operated at the boundary of continuous current mode(CCM) and discontinuous current mode(DCM) for power factor correction and low cost. A control method to be utilized in simulation is a average-current mode method in case of operating in CCM. The simulation results show that Better is the CCM converter then the DCM converter in harmonic content and input current waveform. And A Double-boost converter is superior to single-boost converter for input-current harmonic.

It is necessary to improve the pattern replication and birefringence in LGP(Light guide panel) for better optical performance. In the present paper, the effects of injection-compression and injection-press mode with normal injection mold on the distribution of transcription of pattern and birefringence were studied. It was found that the values of pattern replication was improved and the birefringence was reduced for the cases of low initial clamping force in injection-compression mode and for the cases of longer mold opening length in injection-press mode, repectively.

This paper presents design of controllers for battery energy storage system. The proposed battery energy storage system can be controlled to operate in the power conditioning mode or the inverter mode. The operation of this mode further divided into three cases: (a) in the peak load period, the load power supplied from the utility is minimized as far as possible; (b) in the off-peak load period, the utility supplies power to the load and charges the battery bank with automatic charging control; (c) in the medium load period, to save battery energy the real power flow out of the battery energy storage system is minimized. Besides, in all cases, the proposed battery energy storage system also automatically compensates the harmonics, subharmonics and reactive power factor in the utility side are much improved. Simulation results are presented by the effectiveness of the proposed controllers for battery energy storge system.

We fabricated (110) silicon hard master by using anisotropic wet etching for embossing. The etching chemical for the silicon wafer was a TMAH $25\%$ solution. The anisotropic wet etching produces a smooth sidewall surface and the surface roughness of the fabricated master is about 3 nm. After spin coating an organic-inorganic sol-gel hybrid material on a silicon substrate, we employed hot embossing technique operated at a low pressure and temperature to form patterns on the silicon substrate by using the fabricated master. We successfully fabricated the multi-mode planar optical waveguides showing low propagation loss of 0.4 dB/cm. The surface roughness of embossed patterns was uniform for more than 10 times of the embossing processes with a single hydrophobic surface treatment of the silicon hard master.
