A synchronous motor(SM) with q-axis special field winding of which the q-axis field-current compensates and cancels armature reaction can be driven at unity power factor under the conditions of transient state as well as steady state. The motor operates in high efficiency in all conditions. However, in order to obtain maximum performance of the motor, it is required that the time constant of armature circuit corresponds to that of q-axis field circuit. Inverse LQ(ILQ) design method on a basis of the pole assignment is suitable for this problem:(1) The time constants of the output responses can be designed for desired specifications, (2) Relations between feedback gains and response of closed loop system are very clear and (3) Optimal solutions can be given by simple procedure of ILQ method without solving the Ricaati's equation, compared to the usual LQ design method. Accordingly, the ILQ method can make the responses of armature current and q-axis field-current correspond. In this paper, it is proved by numerical simulations and experiments that the ILQ method is very effective for optimal regulator design of this plant and realizes a high-performance motor with unity power factor and high efficiency.

Air-cooling method is adopted on the basis of the requirements for the thermal stability and convenient field use of an electrical source transmitter. The power losses of the transmitter are determined after calculating the losses of the alternating current (AC)-direct current (DC) power supply, the constant-current circuit, and the output circuit. According to the analysis of the characteristics of a heat sink with striped fins and a fan, the engineering calculation expression of the Nusselt number and the design process for air-cooled dissipation are proposed. Experimental results verify that the error between calculated and measured values of the transmitter losses is 12.2%, which meets the error design requirements of less than 25%. Steady-state average temperature rise of the heat sink of the AC-DC power supply is $22^{\circ}C$, which meets the design requirements of a temperature rise between $20^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. The transmitter has favorable thermal stability with 40 kW output power.

$Bi_6Mg_2Nb_4O_{21}(BMN)$ thin films were deposited at various substrates by sputtering system for embedded capacitor applications. BMN thin films deposited at room temperature are manufactured as MIM(Metal/Insulator/Metal) structures. Dielectric properties and leakage current density were investigated as a function of various substrates and thickness of BMN thin films. Leakage current density of BMN thin films deposited on CCL(Copper Clad Laminates) showed relatively high value ($1{\times}10^{-3}A/cm^2$) at an applied field of 300 kV/cm on substrates, possibly due to relatively high value of roughness(rms $50{\AA}$) of CCL substrates. 100 nm-thick BMN thin films deposited on Cu/Ti/Si substrates showed the capacitance density of $300 nF/cm^2$, a dielectric constant of 32, a dielectric loss of 2 % at 100 kHz and the leakage current density of $1{\times}10^{-6}A/cm^2$ at an applied field of 300 kV/cm. BMN capacitors are expected to be promising candidates as embedded capacitors for printed circuit board(PCB).

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of electrodeposition conditions on the microstructural characteristics of copper thin films. The microstructure of electroplated Cu films was found to be highly dependent on electrodeposition conditions such as system current and current density, as well as the bath solution itself. The current density significantly changed the preferred orientation of electroplated Cu films in a DC system, while the solution itself had very significant effects on microstructural characteristics in a pulse-reverse pulse current system. In the DC system, polarization at high current above 30 mA, changed the preferred orientation of Cu films from (220) to (111). However, Cu films showed (220) preferred orientation for all ranges of current density in the pulse-reverse pulse current system. The grain size decreased with increasing current density in the DC system while it remained relatively constant in the pulse-reverse pulse current system. The sheet resistance increased with increasing current density in the DC system due to the decreased grain size.

This paper presents the two lossless auxiliary inducors-assisted voltage source type half bridge(single ended push pull:SEPP) series resonant high frequency inverter for induction heated fixing roller in copy and printing machines. The simple high-frequency inverter treated here can completely achieve stable zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation forwide its output power regulation ranges and load variations under constant high frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) scheme. Its transient and steady state operatprinciple is originally described and discussed for a constant high-frequency PDM control strategy under a stable ZCS operation commutation, together with its output effective power regulation charactertics-based on the high frequency PDM strategy. The experimenoperating performances of this voltage source SEPP ZCS-PDM series resonant high frequency inverter using IGBTs are illustrated as compared with computer simulation results and experimenones. Its power losses analysis and actual efficiency are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results. The feasible effectiveness of this high frequency inverter appliimplemented here is proved from the practical point of view.

In the wound rotor induction motor, the external resistor is usually added to the rotor circuit in order to limit the starting current. In this scheme, whilst the starting current is limited, the available torque is remarkably reduced. In this paper, to improve the starting characteristics the stator current can be maintained constant by adjusting the external resistor. To change the external resistor, teh chopper and the resistor is connected in parallel, and the chopper duty cycle is adjusted by microprocessor. The duty cycle is calculated according to the actual speed of motor by microprocessor look-up table map. In this suggested scheme, the starting characteristics are remarkably improved without over-current. The starting time of this system is reduced by 20-48 Percent compared with fixed extemal resistance system in the same load.

In this paper, the effect of pulse current and generated heat on characteristics of the LED is measured and evaluated. For experiments, the LED driving circuit and digital logic which determines period and duty ratio of lighting are designed. At rated current, the temperature and optical characteristics of the LED with change in duty ratio and period are compared, and those of the LED with change in duty ratio and existence of cooling fan are also compared at constant average current. As a result, frequency does not affect device temperature and optical characteristic of the LED but duty ratio does. Also, the cooling fan is less effective on those of the LED at rated current.

In this paper, the p-n junction depth with nondestructive method by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is determined and conformed. By measuring the critical short circuit current on the p-n junction which induced by electron beam and calculating generation range, the diffusion depth can be obtained. It can be seen that values destructively measured by constant angle lapping and nondestructively by this study almost concur. As this result, it is purposed that diffusion depth of p-n junction can be easily measured by nondestruction. This nondestructive method can be recommended highly to the industrial analysis.

LED is divided to multichannel in order not to exceed a certain voltage in aspects of electric standard. However, it's not possible to know in accordance with what channel SMPS controls the constant voltage and current. In order to solve this problem, it needs to detect the maximum LED String voltage which is applied to LED control circuit, and it is possible to minimize the voltage drop when a difference of LED string voltage occurs by each channel if LED is controlled by the maximum LED string voltage detected. In addition, it is also possible to maximize the efficiency of LED if change LED voltage by detecting the maximum voltage. Feasibility of this claim was verified through implementation of the circuit.
