In this paper EMI problems with induction motor drive system using multi-level inverters are investigated. The high power multi-level inverter usually operates with low switching frequency and produces large noises. Generally, EMI consists of the conduction component through source lines and emission component emitted to the space. This conduction component can be classified to the common-mode between source line and ground, and the normal-mode between lines. The EMI filters for the induction motor drive system are designed and implemented to reduce EMI noise. Finally the designed system is verified by the experiment. The experimental results show that both the normal mode and common mode noises are greatly reduced compared to the system without filters.

To obtain superconducting state, a reliable cryocooler system is required. Structural and thermal design have been performed to design cryocooler system operated with reverse Brayton cycle using gas neon as refrigerant. This cryocooler system consists of compressor recuperator, coldbox, control valves and has 1 ㎾ cooling capacity. Heat loss calculation was conducted for the given cryocooler system by considering the conduction and radiation through the multi-layer insulation (MLI) and high vacuum. The results can be summarized as; conduction heat loss is 7 W in valves and access port and radiation heat loss is 18 W through the surface of cryocooler. The full design specifications were discussed.

Switched reluctance motors and drives are increasingly used in high speed applications due to their robust mechanical structures, low inertia, and reduction in the rotor losses. The turn-on angle has to be advanced as the motor speed increases, but it may cause the starting problem in some rotor positions. In this paper, the characteristics of the maximum speed and input voltage with the advance angle at high speeds is investigated. To overcome the starting problem and reduce the torque ripple, conduction overlapping is added in adjacent phases. The effectiveness of conduction overlapping is verified through the simulation and experiments.

Background and Objectives: The present study aimed to compare thresholds of direct bone-conduction (BC direct) with those of behaviorally measured BC pure-tone audiometry (PTA) and objectively measured BC auditory brainstem response (ABR) to confirm the clinical feasibility of their relationships. Subjects and Methods: Young adults with normal hearing participated in the study to determine the thresholds from three measurements at four testing frequencies. In the BC direct, the vibrator of a bone-anchored hearing aid softband was placed on the right mastoid of each subject. In both PTA and ABR, a B71 bone oscillator was placed on the subject's right mastoid. While the subject's thresholds of BC direct and BC PTA were determined with a clinically routine 5-dB step procedure, BC ABR was conducted to determine the individual's hearing sensitivity by a peak V of the waveform using tone-burst and click stimuli. Results: The BC direct showed a different pattern between low and high frequencies. Precisely, its thresholds were 13.25 and 12.25 dB HL at 0.5 and 1 kHz, respectively, but 19 and 19.75 dB HL at 2 and 4 kHz, respectively. A significant positive correlation existed between BC direct and PTA at 1 kHz, which was also correlated with ABR. Conclusions: Based on the current data, the thresholds of BC direct were similar to BC PTA at low frequencies and BC ABR at high frequencies. The thresholds of BC direct might be predictable at approximately 5 dB higher (or lower) than that in PTA, although a large data set is required for standardization.

Phase formation and electrical conduction behavior of Ba-doped LaBaGa $O_4$ layered perovskite were studied. Orthorhombic single phase of $K_2$Ni $F_4$-type structure was observed for the composition range of 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.2 in the La$\_$1＋x/Ba$\_$1＋x/Ga $O_4$$\_$4-$\delta$/ system by X-ray analysis. In the dry atmosphere, La$\_$0.8/Ba$\_$1.2/Ga$\_$3.9/ exhibited mixed conduction of oxygen ion and hole (p-type) at high p( $O_2$). However, in water vapor containing atmosphere, it showed proton conduction due to the incorporation of water into oxygen vacancies. As the temperature decreased, the contribution of proton conductivity to the total conduction increased and proton conduction was dominant below 350$^{\circ}C$. The activation energy for proton conduction was calculated as 0.72 eV.

The electrical resistivity of the ceramic glaze coated on ceramic substrate plays an important role on the characteristics of the thick and thin film electrical circuits. In this study the effects of the various modifiers on the electrical resistivity were examined in SiO2-Al2O3-B2O3-RO-Na2O (RO=CaO , SrO, BaO, PbO) glass system. In alkali free glasses where divalent cations are responsible for electrical conduction the electrical conductivity of th glasses increased with the ionic size of divalent cations due to the decrease in the bond strength between oxyben and divalent cation. In Na2O containing glasses however where Na+ ion is responsible for electrical conduction the ionic conductivity decreased with the ionic size of divalent cations because the blocking effect of the cations on Na+ ion movement increased with larger divalent cations. Na+ ionic conduction also depended on the glass structure relaxation due to the corrdination number changes of B2O3 and Al2O3 which varied with the NaO2 content in the glass.

The recent progress in the new cooling technology for superconducting systems without liquid cryogens is briefly presented. In these conduction-cooled systems, the super-conducting magnets are cooled by a direct contact with closed-cycle cryocoolers and only electricity is supplied to maintain the cryogenic temperatures. It is reported that at least 20 conduction-cooled (low Tc or high Tc) super- conducting systems have been constructed, tested, or commercially used worldwide. Some of the significant design issues are discussed in comparison with the conventional liquid-helium cooled systems.

We investigate proton conduction in a nonstoichiometric ${\Sigma}3$ $BaZrO_3$ (210)[001] tilt grain boundary using density functional theory (DFT). We employ the space charge layer (SCL) and structural disorder (SD) models with the introduction of protons and oxygen vacancies into the system. The segregation energies of proton and oxygen vacancy are determined as -0.70 and -0.54 eV, respectively. Based on this data, we obtain a Schottky barrier height of 0.52 V and defect concentrations at 600K, in agreement with the reported experimental values. We calculate the energy barrier for proton migration across the grain boundary core as 0.61 eV, from which we derive proton mobility. We also obtain the proton conductivity from the knowledge of proton concentration and mobility. We find that the calculated conductivity of the nonstoichiometric grain boundary is similar to those of the stoichiometric ones in the literature.
