This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the motions and mooring characteristics of a floating vertical axis wind turbine system. Based on a comparison of regular wave experiment results, the motions of structures with different types of mooring are almost the same. Based on the tension response results of a regular wave experiment with a catenary mooring system, the mooring lines in front of the structure have a larger tension effect than the back of the structure by the drifted offset of the structure. The dynamic response spectrum of the structure in the irregular wave experiments showed no significant differences in response to differences in the mooring system. As a result of the comparison of the tension response spectra, the mooring lines have a larger value with a drifted offset for the structure, as shown in the previous regular wave experiment. The results of the dynamic response of the structure under irregular wave and wind conditions showed that the heave motion response is influenced by the coupled effect with the mooring lines of the surge and pitch motion due to the drifted offset and steady heeling. In addition, the mooring lines in front of the structure have a very large tension force compared to the mooring lines in back of the structure as a result of the drifted offset of the structure.

A murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus type-I (HIV -1) was chemically coupled to pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) from Phytolacca americana. The immunotoxin was purified by FPLC using S200 colum. The purified immunotoxin efficiently bound to HIV-infected T cells as evidenced by fluorescenceactivated cell sorter analysis. The immunotoxin selectively killed human T lymphoid lines infected with $HIV-1_{IIIB}$ at less than 250 pM of the immunotoxin cells, while PAP or mAb alone did not have any significant effect on infected cells. The uninfected control T cell lines were not affected. Human cells infected with HIV-2 or other HIV-1 strains were not killed, suggesting that the killing depends completely on the antibody used for coupling. These in vitro results suggest that the PAP-mAb conjugate may be used to selectively remove cells expressing viral antigens from individuals infected with HIV.

The demands for the various type of directional coupler, which is for the sampling of the signal levels in mobile communication baseband or transceiver systems, are growing. The proposed dual directional coupler, which has three parallel coupled transmission lines, can provide the dual coupling and good isolation characteristics between the coupling ports. In this paper, the novel analysis method and the design equation of even and odd mode for the dual directional coupler, which is employing the asymmetrically coupled transmission lines, are proposed. Using the proposed method, the dual directional coupler for PCS system has been designed and fabricated. We obtained the desired coupling value and the high directivity of 40dB. Measured results show the validity of this design method.

Tests and theoretical studies for seismic responses of a transmission tower-line system under coupled horizontal and tilt (CHT) ground motion were conducted. The method of obtaining the tilt component from seismic motion was based on comparisons from the Fourier spectrum of uncorrected seismic waves. The collected data were then applied in testing and theoretical analysis. Taking an actual transmission tower-line system as the prototype, shaking table tests of the scale model of a single transmission tower and towers-line systems under horizontal, tilt, and CHT ground motions were carried out. Dynamic equations under CHT ground motion were also derived. The additional P-∆ effect caused by tilt motion was considered as an equivalent horizontal lateral force, and it was added into the equations as the excitation. Test results were compared with the theoretical analysis and indicated some useful conclusions. First, the shaking table test results are consistent with the theoretical analysis from improved dynamic equations and proved its correctness. Second, the tilt component of ground motion has great influence on the seismic response of the transmission tower-line system, and the additional P-∆effect caused by the foundation tilt, not only increases the seismic response of the transmission tower-line system, but also leads to a remarkable asymmetric displacement effect. Third, for the tower-line system, transmission lines under ground motion weaken the horizontal displacement and acceleration responses of transmission towers. This weakening effect of transmission lines to the main structure, however, will be decreased with consideration of tilt component.

In this paper, an artificial transmission line coupler with slotted-triangular patches, which is compact and spacesaving structure, is proposed. The proposed structure has specific features of not only convenience for adjusting the characteristic impedance and the phase of its coupled line by varying the lengths of the slots of the artificial transmission lines in designing a coupler but also the maximized coupling value at less than ${\lambda}$/4 electrical length so that it can be designed in compact and small dimensions, while conventional coupled line couplers are generally limited in compact and miniaturized designs by their ${\lambda}$/4 transmission lines. A fabricated 15 dB test-coupler at 2.4 GHz band by proposed design method shows good agreement with theory and simulation.

This paper presents a new design method of the Ultra-Wide-Band BandPass Filter using the CRLH-TL(Composite Right- and Left-Handed Transmission-line) having the Metamaterials' properties. Instead of the periodic type or many cells of the CRLH-TL, only the unit cell is used to miniaturize the target component, which can not be realized by the conventional quarter guided-wavelength resonator-based filters. Particularly, the strong coupling essential to the Ultra Wide Band is enabled by the interdigital coupled lines between the grounded stubs. The proposed design scheme is validated by the electromagnetic simulation and measurement of the fabricated filter which shows the total size of 'the guided-wavelength/9.4', the 100 % fractional bandwidth for the UWB, the insertion loss of less than 1 dB and the flat group-delay.

A significant new technique in the dsvelopment of micro-wave circuits is the process of untilization of coupled lines in the transverse electro-magnetic field. The bases for this technique are the application of even-and odd-mode characteristic impedances of the transmission line. This article describes the properties of directional couplers and explains a prccfdure usrd to design micro-strip directional couplers with the aid of the computer. The article also describes the experimental results obtained from seven microstrip couplers, which were built to verify the computer program and the approximate solutions. It can be seen that in cases at X-band where couplings of 10 to 20dB are required, the computer program and approximate solutions will produce good results.

This paper proposes an improved filter synthesis method for dual-band filters based on coupled lines loaded with shunt stubs. The conventional design method relies on equality of the response of the conventional single-band filter and its dual-band counterpart at two frequencies. On the other hand, the proposed method is based on equivalence of the propagation constants and the image impedances of the two filters. Therefore, the proposed method does not suffer from bandwidth reduction phenomena, which requires complex compensating process in the conventional method. Also, the alternative design parameters provided by the demonstrated method enable to construct dual-band filters with more flexibility. For experimental verification, a Chebyshev type dual-band filter with center frequencies at 1 GHz and 3.5 GHz is designed and fabricated. The measured results are in excellent agreement with the full-wave simulated results.

In this study, the global response characteristics of floater and mooring for floating offshore wind turbine with a detachable mooring system are performed. Global motion and structural response result extracted from the coupled motion analysis of 10MW DTU floating offshore wind turbine with detachable mooring system modeled by high-order boundary element model and finite element mesh, were used to study the characteristics of tension on mooring lines subjected to three different types of ocean loads. Breaking limit of mooring line characterized by wind, current and wave load has a major effect on the distribution of mooring tension found in time domain analysis. Based on the numerical results of coupled motion analysis, governing equation for calculating the motion response of a floater under ocean loads, and excitation force and surge motion and tension respectively are presented using excursion curve. It is found that the response of floater is reliable and accurate for calculating the tension distributions along the mooring lines under complex loadings. This means that the minimun breaking limit of mooring system satisfied a design criteria at ultimate ocean environmental loading condtions.
