In order to assure the quality of the bent axis design axial piston pumps driven by tapered pistons, it is necessary to know the characteristics of force applied to tapered pistons and the mechanism for driving the tapered pistons. Since they are able to perform both reciprocating and spinning motions in cylinder block, it is difficult to understand the driving mechanismand-tomeasure the forces applied to tapered pistons experimentally In the present study, the theoretical mechanism for driving the tapered pistons is studied by use of the geometric method. The driving area of the tapered pistons is measured by measuring the strain of a cylinder forced against a tapered piston using an electric strain gauge and a slip ring. The forces applied to tapered pistons is also investigated with the change of discharge pressure and the rotational speed. As a results of this investigation, it is concluded that the cylinder block is driven by one tapered piston in a limited area and the driving area is changed due to space angle of the tapered pistons and the swivel angle of the cylinder block. It is also observed that the force applied to tapered pistons increases as the discharge pressure and the rotational speed increase.

A lot of experiments and analyses have been done to determine the aging mechanism of mica-epoxy composite material used for large generator stator windings in order to estimate remaining life of the generator for last decades. After degrading artificially the mica-epoxy composite material, the surface analysis is performed to analyze breakdown mechanism of insulation in air and hydrogen atmosphere; i) In the case of air atmosphere, it is observed that an aging propagation from conductor to core by partial discharge effect and the formation of cracks between layers is widely carbonized surface. ii) In case of hydrogen atmosphere, the partial discharge effect is reduced by the hydrogen pressure (4kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Potassium ions forming a sheet of mica is replaced by hydrogen ions, which can lead to microcracks. It is confirmed that the sizes of crack by SEM analysis are 10∼20[$\mu\textrm{m}$] in length under air, and 1∼5[$\mu\textrm{m}$] in diameter, 10∼50[$\mu\textrm{m}$] in length under hydrogen atmosphere respectively. The breakdown mechanism of sttor winding insulation materials which are composed of mica-epoxy is analyzed by the component of materials with EDS, SEM techniques. We concluded that the postassium ions of mica components are replaced by H\ulcorner, H$_3$O\ulcorner at boundary area of mica-epoxy and/or mica-mica. It is proposed that through these phenomena, the conductive layers of potassium enable creation of voids and cracks due to thermal, mechanical, electrical and environmental stresses.

This paper presents the surface discharge characteristics in Dry-Air on laminated epoxy solid dielectrics and conductive particles in order to provide the valuable information for the insulation design of eco- friendly gas insulated switchgear. To improve insulation performance, the three types of the laminated epoxy solid dielectrics were proposed, and it was revealed that their surface discharge characteristics were similar to the bakelite dielectrics of same-laminated types. From the surface discharge characteristics of dry air, it was demonstrated that the effect of conductive particles on surface discharge voltage was dominant when there are this particles at the shortest electrode gap and that the degradation of insulation performance on the conductive particles was evident in epoxy than teflon. These phenomena were interpreted in terms of particle-triggered discharge mechanism and electric field of triple junction, respectively.

The plasma display panel is made of many small discharge cells, which consist of a discharge space between the cathode and anode. An electrical discharge occurs in the discharge space filled by neon and xenon gases. The electron temperature is determined from the sparking criterion, which theoretically estimates the electrical breakdown voltage in terms of the xenon mole fraction. The plasma in the cell emits vacuum ultraviolet lights of 147 nm and 173 nm, exciting fluorescent material and converting VUV lights to visible lights. The physical mechanisms of all these processes have been theoretically modeled and experimentally measured. The theory and experimental data agree reasonably well. However, new materials and better configuration of cells are needed to enhance discharge and light emission efficiency and to improve the PDP performance.

In this paper we investigated the characteristics of surface degradation in silicone rubber due to corona exposure and recovery mechanism. It was shown that surface free energy was 22.42 mJ/$m^2$ on initial sample but surface free energy was approximately increased to 71.14 mJ/$m^2$ after 45 minutes. However, surface free energy on silicone rubber after corona discharge treatment was completely recovered within a short time due to diffusion of low molecular weight(LMW) silicone fluid. It was shown that corona discharge insured the increase of diffusible LMW chains, which could lead to recover the surface hydrophobicity. 200～370 g/mol distribution of LMW silicone fluid which was extracted by solvent-extraction with gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was contributed to recovery. The surface degradation characteristics on silicone rubbers and the recovery mechanism based on our results were discussed.

In AC-PDP, it is necessary to achieve high luminance efficiency, high luminance and high definition by adopting technologies such as high xenon concentration, MgO doping, and long gap. However, it is very difficult to apply above technologies because they make the driving voltage margin reduced. Especially, high Xe concentration technology for high efficacy makes not only the driving voltage margin reduced but also the stability of reset discharge decreased at low temperature. In this paper, we studied temperature and voltage dependent stability of reset discharge and present the experimental results of the discharge characteristics at low temperature. In addition, we suggested the mechanism of bright noise and black noise at low temperature. Finally, we proposed double reset waveform to improve the bright noise and descending scan time method to improve the black noise.

In AC-PDP, it is necessary to achieve high luminance efficacy, high luminance and high resolution by adopting technologies such as high Xenon concentration, MgO doping, and long gap. However, it is very difficult to apply above technologies because they reduce driving voltage margin. For example, doping of MgO reduces driving voltage but introduces new problems such as increased temperature dependency of discharge, which result in larger variations in driving margin at different temperatures. In this paper, we present the experimental results of the characteristics of temperature-dependent discharges. In addition, we suggest the mechanism of bright noise, black noise, and high temperature mis-discharge, which depend on temperature-dependent characteristics of MgO.

In some previous studies, the effect of the microcapillary hole structure in the front dielectric layer was introduced. There have not yet been any report, however, on the detailed study on the discharge characteristics of the hole type, and on the optimization of the microscale hole size. In this study, the discharge characteristics of the microscale hole types in the front dielectric layer in plasma display panels were investigated through plasma numerical simulation. The numerical analysis discussed in this work may shed more light on the discharge mechanism. The modification of the structure of microscale holes is expected to improve the driving voltage and luminance, which may have been due to more energetically charged particles and Xe-excited species, which may in turn have been due to an expanded sheath electric field in the vicinity of the microholes.

The numerical model that can describe the ignition of the pseudospark discharge using hybrid fluid-particle method has been developed. The evolution process of the discharge has been divided into four phases along the potential distribution. After the plasma enters in the hollow cathode, the confining effect which is one of hollow cathode properties occurs and the electron current on anode rises rapidly. As the plasma expands successively, the sheath contracts and as the electric field in the sheath increases, the field-enhanced thermionic emission(Schottky emission) occurs. From numerical results, the physical mechanism that causes the rapid current rise in the ignition of the pseudospark discharge could be identified.
