The plasma display panel is an image expression display using gas discharge plasma. However, gas discharge characteristics vary with temperature as gas discharge is sensitive to temperature. The discharge time lag extends a lot in low temperature and it is known as the cause which hinders high speed addressing which is essential for the size enlargement of the panel. Accordingly this research aims at identifying the temperature-dependent discharge characteristic. The lower temperature becomes, the longer addressing discharge time lag becomes. Particularly the statistical time lag extends much in low temperature. The increasing of electric field shortens discharge time lag in low temperature. Also, when priming particles are sufficiently supplied, stable discharge can be performed regardless of the influence of temperature.

The effects of ambient temperature on the discharge characteristics of Ne-Xe based micro discharge cells for ac-PDP (plasma display panel) have been studied. In ramp voltage driving, which is generally used as a reset method of PDP, two dissimilar modes of strong and weak discharge were found. As the interval between the former sustaining discharge and ramp voltage discharge becomes greater, the probability of a strong discharge increases. This suggests that a sufficient number of priming particles is necessary for initiating weak mode (Townsend discharge). It was discovered that under higher ambient temperatures, weak discharge occurs more frequently. The discharge time lag observed in square pulse driving of single cells becomes surprisingly smaller under higher ambient temperatures for the constant gas number density condition.

An experimental study has been performed to investigate the correlation on compressor discharge temperature of system A/C in heating mode. Indoor and outdoor temperatures, the heating capacity, compressor discharge temperature and loading time are measured by the psychrometric calorimeter. The system is controlled by applying the scroll compressor, which Is operated by PWM valve and loading duty. With increasing outdoor temperature, the heating capacity increases, With increasing indoor temperature, it decreases. Also, with increasing loading duty the heating capacity increases. According to the increase in outdoor temperature and loading duty, compressor discharge temperature increases. From these experimental data, the correlation on compressor discharge temperature is proposed. It is expressed as a function of indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and loading duty. The correlation obtained from the present study is agreed with the experimental data within $2^{\circ}C$.

AC impedance of LiM $n_2$ $O_4$ and LiM $g_{0.1}$M $n_{1.9}$ $O_4$ samples have been studied at various temperature with charge-discharge test. AC impedance of LiM $n_2$ $O_4$ measured at -2$0^{\circ}C$, room temperature and 5$0^{\circ}C$ revealed that initial impedance before charge-discharge test was gradually decreased and become small by becoming law temperature. It indicates that the Li ion diffusion and the transfer resistance of the cathode are related to the temperature of cycling. Impedance at high temperature was suddenly increased because Mn dissolution and decomposition of electrolyte had been increased during cycling, compared to impedance at low temperature. Therefore, charge-discharge capacity was suddenly decreased at high but was slowly at low. In LiM $g_{0.1}$M $n_{1.9}$ $O_4$, impedance and capacity were stability at room temperature than there at 5$0^{\circ}C$, too. Initial impedance at 5$0^{\circ}C$ before charge-discharge test was small and impedance was suddenly increased during cycling than that at room temperature.ure.ure.

In this study, electrical and spectroscopic characteristics were investigated in the pin to plate discharge of 0.9% weight per unit volume saline solution. The positive and positive- and negative-going dc pulse with 5% duty ratio were applied to tungsten pin electrode. The more amount of discharge current flew in negative discharge. The temperature, which is considered as a local value in the vicinity of vapor of discharge, was about 3,000K which is much higher than the value recommended to be controlled. It can be suggested that not only the temperature of liquid but also the local temperature of vapor is monitored to investigate damages on tissue or cells in biological application.

The purposes of this paper were to monitor the temperature rising courses and spark discharge of the modified granular activated carbon (GAC) by microwave (MW) irradiation and to evaluate absorption of benzene. The GAC coated on $SiO_2$, boron, talc, ferrite was named as the modified GAC. Thermal and spark discharge measurement of virgin GAC and modifed GAC has been carried out using a MW device operating at 2450 MHz under various energy conditions. The results of this paper as follows. First, the modified GAC is more efficient than the virgin GAC in temperature control. Temperature gradient of the modified GAC is more lower than that of virgin GAC. The temperature gradient of GAC was observed in the following order : virgin GAC, Mn-Zn ferrite/GAC, Ni-Zn ferrite,/GAC, $SiO_2/GAC$, Boron/GAC, Talc/GAC. Second, the spark discharge of the modified GAC was diminished, compared with that of virgin GAC. Because of its excellent electrical insulating properties, the coating material prevents the spark discharge. Finally, the benzene adsorption capacity of the modified GAC decreased due to diminishing of adsorption site by the coating material. Considering the temperature gradient and spark discharge of GAC, the GAC coated $SiO_2$ would be appropriate absorbent under irradiation of MW.

Partial discharge measurement is one of the effective diagnostic techniques to predict abnormal high voltage dielectric insulation conditions of the electric equipments. Recently partial discharge diagnostic techniques were also utilized to evaluate the cryogenic dielectric insulation of high temperature superconducting electric equipment in liquid nitrogen. Generally, liquid nitrogen at 77 K is used used as the cryogenic and dielectric media for many high temperature superconducting high voltage applications. When a quench in the superconductor occurs, bubbles are generated which can affect the dielectric properties of the liquid nitrogen. So in order to reduce the bubble formation, subcooled nitrogen was also employed for this purpose. In this work, investigation of partial discharge characteristics of subcooled liquid nitrogen were conducted in order to clarify the retardation of partial discharge initiation voltage according to the different subcooling temperature of liquid nitrogen. And also the relation of partial discharge phenomena and the activities of bubbles were analyzed. It was observed that PD inception voltages shows rather different characteristics according to the decrease of subcooling temperature and the activities of bubbles were strongly influenced by temperature of the subcooled liquid nitrogen.

Spinel $LiMn_{2-y}Mn_{y}O_4$ powder was prepared solid-state method by calcining the mixture of $LiOH{\cdot}H_2O$, $MnO_2$ and MgO at $800^{\circ}C$ for 36h. To investigate the effect of temperature for cycle behaviour of cathode material during cycling, charge-discharge experiments and initial impedance spectroscopy performed by the condition of the charge-discharge temperature. Initial charge-discharge capacity was gradually increased by rising charge-discharge temperature. However, capacity was suddenly decreased at high temperature during cycling. Capacity at low temperature was almost constant during cycling. It confirmed because Mn dissolution is more serious at high temperature than at low temperature.

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.
