A new level shifter using low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) for low-power applications is proposed. The proposed level shifter uses a capacitive-coupling effect and can reduce the power consumption owing to its no-short-circuit current. Its power saving over the conventional level shifter is 72% for a 3.3 V input and a 10 V output.

The capacitive transducers, which are used of the principle of capacitance changes by means of the variation of distance between electrodes, are usually utilized for measurement of small displacements. But the measurement ranges of this method are limited. In this study, the measurement ranges are extended by using the variation method of the surface area of electrodes. Thus the capacitive transducer and signal conditioner, which are having the capability of measurement range of 25mm and resolution of 0.1\ulcorner, have developed, and its environmental characteristics are also tested.

In this paper, modeling of the non-ideal frequency response, especially "notch-and-spike" magnitude phenomenon and phase lag distortion, are discussed. To characterize the non-ideal frequency response, a new electro-mechanical simulation model based on SPICE is proposed using the driving loop of the capacitive vibratory gyroscope. The parasitic components of the driving loop are found to be the major factors of non-ideal frequency response, and it is verified with the measurement results.

This paper presents a small capacitance measuring circuit for capacitive sensors. The proposed circuit consists of sinewave generator, detector and demodulator. Results of experiments are shown that the circuit can be able to measure small capacitance exiting in a capacitive sensor filled with a vegetable oil. The sensitivity of the circuit is from 0.4V/pF to 4V/pF and the resolution is from 0.0025 pF to 0.00025 pF.

The capacitive application(prove) can be used to measure the complex permittivity of dielectric material of various thickness and cross section. This paper presents that we designed the analysis system of engine oil permittivity to know the relation between the engine oil deterioration and the prove dimension. Each of the dimension of capacitive prove is changed and then electric capacity is measured by LCR {Inductance(L), Capacitance (C), and Resistance (R)} meter. The engine oil permittivity has extracted in the prove measurement. As the additional research, this paper suggest the best of the prove dimension for the permittivity measurement.

In this paper, a planar printed hybrid short/open-ended slot antenna with capacitive coupling feed strips is proposed for hepta-band mobile applications. The proposed antenna is comprised of a slotted ground plane on the top plane and two capacitive coupling feed strips with a chip inductor on the bottom plane. At the low frequency band, the short-ended long slot fed by strip 1 generates its half-wavelength resonance mode, whereas the T-shaped open ended slot fed by strip 2 generates its quarter-wavelength resonance mode for the high frequency band. The antenna provides a wide bandwidth covering GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS/UMTS/LTE2300/LTE2500 operation bands. Moreover, the antenna occupies a small volume of $15mm{\times}50mm{\times}1mm$. The operating principle of the proposed antenna and the simulation/measurement results are presented and discussed.

Hyperthermia for the treatment of cancer has been introduced for a long time and the biological effect for the use of hyperthermia to malignant tumors has been well established and encouraging clinical results has been observed. Unfortunately, the engineering or technical aspects of hyperthermia for the deep seated tumors has not been satisfactory. We have researched and developed the radiofrequency capacitive hyperthermia system (GHT- RF8). It was composed with 8-9 MHZ RF generator, capacitive electrode, matching system, cooling system, temperature measuring system and control computer. The thermal profile was investigated in agar phantom, animals and in human tumors, which was heated with capacitive RF device.

Non-contacting capacitive sensor, based on principle of the cross capacitor, for measuring of $\mu\textrm{m}$-order displacements have been fabricated and characterized. To overcome disadvantages of the existed capacitive sensors of parallel type with 2-electrodes and 3-electrodes, the developed new sensor was designed to have 4-electrodes, two of them used high and low electrode the other two used as guard electrodes, on a sapphire plate with diameter 17 mm and thickness 0.7 mm, and are symmetrically situated with a constant gap of 0.2 mm between the electrodes. This sensor can be used for measuring the distance between sensor and target not only the metallic but also non-metallic target without ground connection.

In this paper, passive telemetry capacitive humidity sensor system using a RLSE(Recursive Least Square Estimation) technique Is proposed. To overcome the problem like power limits and complications that general passive telemetry sensor system including IC chip has, the principle of inductive coupling is applied to model the sensor system. Specially, by applying the forgetting factor, we show that the accuracy of its estimation can be improved even in the case of time varying parameter and also the convergence time can be reduced.
