  • A novel oxidant generation and ion precipitation cell with slits on parallel plate electrodes was proposed instead of the conventional parallel plate type. An investigation was carried out on the effect of the number and size of slits on ion precipitation and oxidant generation characteristics, evidenced by eliminated space charge limiting action and by elevated electric fields in active interelectrode sparing. Consequently, very high ion precipitation and dense oxidant generation characteristics can be realized by having slits un the electrodes of conventional cells as these slits increase the electric fields and decrease the space charge limiting actions in interelectrode spacing.

  • A highly thermostable xylose isomerase from Thermus thermophilus has been expressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized. The purified enzyme shows its optimum temperature at $90^{\circ}C$. It has been crystallized at room temperature using polyethylene glycol 4000 as the precipitant. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic space group $P2_12_12_1$, with unit cell parameters of a = 73.34 ${\AA}$, b = 144.05 ${\AA}$, c = 155.07 ${\AA}$. The presence of one molecule of tetrameric xylose isomerase in the asymmetric unit gives a crystal volume per protein mass ($V_m$) of 2.32 ${\AA}^3/Da$ and the solvent content of 47.0% by volume. The diffraction pattern extends to 1.9 ${\AA}$ Bragg spacing with synchrotron radiation and a set of native data has been collected to 2.3 ${\AA}$.

  • We have studied electro-optic properties and layer deformations in the smectic phases of 4-(6ethoxy-l-trifluoromethyl-hexyloxycarbonyl)-phenyl-4-Nonyloxybiphenyl-4-carboxylat ( TFMEOHPNBC ) having fluorine attached to one of its benzene rings by electro-optical and small angle x-ray scattering techniques. 3 and 5${\mu}m$ thick test cells were prepared using beryllium plates to minimize x-ray beam absorption. Layer structure and orientation was studied while changing the amplitude and frequency of the applied electric field as a function of cell temperature. We observed that the chevron layer tilt angle is reduced and layer spacing is increased as stabilizing in antiferroelectric phase. This result is extraordinary that there is dimerization in antiferroelectric phase. We also found that there is a threshold electric field that changes the chevron structure to bookshelf structure. This threshold electric field depends on the frequency and temperature as shown in Fig.1. We will discuss the dynamics of layer orientation as determined from the x-ray, electro-optic and dielectric spectroscopy.

  • The morphologies of eutectic cell formed during solidification affect on the mechanical properties in high Cr cast iron. In order to investigate the influence of Si on the structure, five kinds of specimen containing 16.42% Cr with varying amount of Si (0.51%, 1.17%, 2.22%, 2.71%, 3.56%) were poured into shell mould preheated $330^{\circ}C$ at $1510^{\circ}C$. The effect of Si on matrix in hypo-eutctic Cr cast iron (2.48% C, 16.42%) were studied through its mechanical tests and observation of microstructure using of metallurgical microscope, EPMA, SEM and Image analyzer systematically. The results obtained from the above studies are as follows: 1. Because of ${\Delta}T$ decreasing with increasing Si content, the morpologies of colony change into uniform bar-type carbide from plate-type ones, moreover eutectic colony size (Ew) becomes narrow and spacing of carbide wider. 2. As Si content increases, the amount of carbides also increases and most of Cr were dissolved in carbides while Si in matrix. 3. The hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance were increasing while impact value decreased with increasing Si content. 4. In fracture section, small amount of dimple pattern was observed in less than 1.17% Si but more than 2.22% Si river pattern was presented.

  • To suppress the natural convection within enclosure spacing it has been shown theoretically and experimentally that the introduction of cell walls will effectively raise the critical Rayleigh number by providing more shear surfaces within the fluid. For a solar collector, a useful solar thermal converter requires effective control of heat losses. It has been reported that the natural convection can be suppressed and the heat performances of the solar collector increased by placing thin, poorly conducting material honeycomb between the absorber plate and the coverglass. The heat performances were measured and compared directly throughout the simultaneous installation of two solar collectors, one with honeycomb structures fabricated from thin poly carbonate sheet and the other without honeycomb structures. Various tilt angles of 30, 45 and 60 deg. from the horizontal and the honeycomb sizes ($W{\times}H$) of $10{\times}10,\;10{\times}20$ and $10{\times}40mm$ were utilized in the present investigation. It is found that the larger the tilt angle are, the greater the heat losses are, and that the smaller the honeycomb size is, the larger suppression effect of heat losses are. Especially, at tilt angles of 30 degree, the heat use ratio of solar collector with the honeycomb sizes of $10{\times}10mm$ improved approximately 29.5% more than that without honeycomb structures.

  • This paper presents a power management system of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) for ubiquitous sensor network (USN) applications. The charge pump with a luminance-controlled oscillator regulates the load impedance of the DSSC to track the maximum power point (MPP) under various light intensities. The low drop-out regulator with a hysteresis comparator supplies intermittent power pulses that are wide enough for USN to communicate with a host transponder even under dim light conditions. With MPP tracking, approximately 50% more power is harvested over a wide range of light intensity. The power management system fabricated using $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology works with DSSC to provide power pulses of $36{\mu}A$. The duration of pulses is almost constant around $80{\mu}s$ (6.5 nJ/pulse), while the pulse spacing is inversely proportional to the light intensity.

  • The layered trivanadate, LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ has been investigated as a cathode material for secondary lithium batteries. Early in its development the preparation method of LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ strongly influenced its electrochemical properties, such as discharge capacity, rate capability and cycling efficiency. In the present experiment, a new synthesis route has been applied to obtain LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ . Instead of the conventional high temperature technique leading to the crystalline form, a solution technique producing the amorphous form has been used. This material, after dehydration, shows an electrochemical performance exeeding that of the crystalline one. The rationale for this behavior mainly lies in microscopic factors, i.e., in the possibility for the unit cell of amorphous LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ to insert up to 9 Li$^{+}$, instead of six for crystalline LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ . The ultrasonically treated products in water were characterized by XRD, TGA, DSC, and SEM. These measurements showed that the ultrasonic treatment process of crystalline LiV$_3$O$_{8}$ causes a decrease in crystallinity and considerable increases in specific surface area and interlayer spacing.g.

  • Standard crystalline solar cells are generally fabricated with the front grid pattern of silver paste contact. We have reported a detailed theoretical analysis of the proposed segmented cross grid line pattern in this paper. This work was carried out for the optimization of spacing and width of grid finger, main busbar and sub-busbar. The overall electrical and optical losses due to front contact were brought down to $10\%$ or even less as compared to the usual loss of $15\%$ or more in the conventional screen printed silver paste technology by choosing proper grid pattern and optimizing the grid parameters. The total normalized power loss for segmented mesh grid with plated metal contact was also observed and the total power loss could be brought down to $10.04\%$ unlike $11.57\%$ in the case of continuous grid and plated contact. This paper is able to outline the limitations of conventional screen printed contact.

  • This study demonstrates a double-path CDI as an alternative of advanced wastewater treatment process. While the CDI typically consists of many pairs of electrodes connected in parallel, the new double-path CDI is designed to have series flow path by dividing the module into two stages. The CFD model showed that the double-path had uniform flow distribution with higher velocity and less dead zone compared with the single-path. However, the double-path was predicted to have higher pressure drop(0.7 bar) compared the single-path (0.4 bar). From the unit cell test, the highest TDS removal efficiencies of single- and double-path were up to 88% and 91%, respectively. The rate of increase in pressure drop with an increase of flow rate was higher in double-path than single-path. At 70 mL/min of flow rate, the pressure drop of double-path was 1.67 bar, which was two times higher than single-path. When the electrode spacing was increased from 100 to $200{\mu}m$, the pressure drop of double-path decreased from 1.67 to 0.87 bar, while there was little difference in TDS removal. When proto type double-path CDI was operated using sewage water, TDS, $NH_4{^+}$-N, $NO_3{^-}$-N and $PO_4{^{3-}}$-P removal efficiencies were up to 78%, 50%, 93% and 50%, respectively.
