We propose rectangular type spiral coils with folded comers for the applications to low frequency guided wave magnetostrictive transducers and describe a method for making the proposed coils from insulated electrical wire such as enameled copper wire. Expressions for the electrical properties of the coils are also presented and compared with experimental measurements. An overlapped-2-channel folded-comer spiral-coil array is fabricated and applied to a magnetostrictive strip transducer generating and detecting fundamental torsional mode guided waves. From the results we conclude that the design and fabrication method make it possible to use the magnetostrictive transducers optimized for various guided wave applications and also will greatly help engineers gain easy access to the optimized transducers.

In electromagnetic coupled resonance(ECR) WPT system, the main key for wireless power transmission is the design method of the ECR coils. The ECR coils is classified to the helical coil(3D) type and the spiral coil(2D) type as a coil structure. The pattern of the spiral coil type has been studied in favor of commercialization. In this paper, the design characteristics of the helical coil and the spiral coil is considered using a Vector Network Analyzer. It is analyzed according to the distance of coupling coefficient between the ECR coils. Also, It is analyzed for the relationships such as the maximum transmission efficiency and the resonant frequency depending on the distance between the coils.

The operational characteristics of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) using magnetic coupling of coils were investigated. This SFCL consists of a high-Tc superconducting (HTSC) element and two coils with series or parallel connection on the same iron. This SFCL has the merit that the operational current of SFCL can be increased higher than the critical current of the superconducting element by adjusting the inductance ratio between two coils. To confirm its operation, the circuit for the fault simulation was constructed. From the measured voltage and current of the SFCL, it was confirmed that the resistance of HTSC element comprising this SFCL increased more than that of HTSC element's independent operation.

For the development of a small-sized superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system we designed, fabricated and tested the model coil consisting five coils with different features, e.g. winding tensions, bore diameters and materials, cooling channels. The results show that even in the highly pre-stressed small coil A, about 70 % of the coils critical current are degraded. The quench current of the coils A, B and E with narrow cooling channels is two times as high as that of the coil C without them though they are similar except spacers. The test results also indicate that the usual training effect depends on the winding tensions of the coils but the quench characteristic does not change according to materials of a bobbin.

Recently, optical disc drives are required to have high density and capacity in according with development of high definition images and rapid increase of various informations. Consequently, the numerical aperture becomes larger, the wavelength of laser is coming to be short. However, it deteriorates rolling mode effect on an optical pickup actuator. Therefore, this paper proposes new design and optimization of tracking coils for reducing it. First, we verify that discord between the center of force and the center of mass by restrictions of design condition is an important factor of rolling mode effect. Then, in order to reduce it, we propose new design parameters of tracking coils. Finally, we reduce rolling mode effect through optimization of tracking coils using Taguchi method and response surface method.

In this paper, a new type of permanent magnetic actuator (PMA) with multi-stage coils is proposed. Although the conventional type of PMA has many advantages, it cannot be applied in the high voltage circuit breakers due to its short stoke length. The new type of PMA has long stroke length by using multi-stage coils, so it can be applied as an actuator for the high voltage circuit breakers. Dynamic characteristics are calculated by the finite element method (FEM), equation of electric circuit and dynamic equation. The position of plunger and the current of coils in case of the actuator applied in 38kV, 40kA vacuum circuit breaker are presented.

For safety reason ATS(Automatic Train Stop) system is being used, which is a kind of communication system with a feedback amplifier and a transformer on the train and wayside coils. The coils are highly resonant LC circuits, also have very high Q(Quality) factors. The Q factors of wayside ATS coils are to be maintained high enough for the amplifier to operate reliably. In this paper a novel Q measurement system is proposed. The system measures the resonant frequency and the bandwidth of the ATS coils, by controlling the phase difference between the transformer and the coil using digital PLL(Phase Locked Loop). The overall configuration and algorithms of the proposed system and the digital PLL control schemes are presented in details. The experimental waveforms are shown to verify the system performances.

Though the planar gradient coils, designed by the magnetic energy minimization procedure, have smaller inductance than conventional gradient coils, the planar gradient oils often suffer from their poor magnetic field linearity. Scaling the spatial frequencies of the current density function designed by the magnetic energy minimization procedure, magnetic field linearity of the planar gradient coils can be featly improved with small sacrifice of gradient coil inductance.

This paper presents the design and the control of three degree-of-freedom(DOF) fine positioning device based on an electro-magnetic force. The device is designed by use of a magnetic circuit theory and it is capable of fine motion due to the electro-magnetic force. The device consists of permanent magnets, yokes and coils. The magnetic fluxes generated from the permanent magnets constitute magnetic paths through steel, whereas the coils are arranged into the gap between two surfaces of the yokes. Therefore, by supplying current to the coils, the coils are capable of some motions due to Lorentz forces. For the optimal design of the actuating system, the system parameters are defined and investigated under the given constraints. From the system modeling in small displacement, three decoupled equations of motion are obtained. To get better performance of the system, a PID controller is implemented. Experimental results are presented in terms of time response and accuracy.
