A poled lead zirconate titanate (PZT) rectangular parallelepiped specimen was subjected to through-thickness electric fields at five loading rates and four temperatures. The rates of the electric field were 0.01, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, and $1.00MVm^{-1}s^{-1}$; the temperatures were 20, 50, 80, and $110^{\circ}C$. From the measured polarization hysteresis responses, the so-called reference remnant polarization and strains were calculated. Using the calculated reference remnant polarization hysteresis loops, the effects of loading rates and temperature were discussed; using the calculated reference remnant strains, strain butterfly loops were calculated and compared with observations.

KORAIL is one of the biggest consumer in electric power market so it is necessary to investigate power consumption pattern and optimize power rates. This paper presents simulation program for electric power rates define program based on billing system database. Base on the substation annual power usage DB data, the characteristic of the substation power consumption are investigated and effective electrical billing system are compared each other. Through this program it is verified that we can save more then several hundred million won for a year. Also electric train air condition power consumption was measured to figure the method how to reduce peak energy consumption.

Battery Disconnecting System (BDS) is the important equipment in electric vehicle system. Therefore, most of electric vehicle companies, i.e. Hyundai Motors, Renault Motors, General Motors, want to have the reliability of 15 years - 150, 000 miles. Recently, reliability prediction through Siemens Norm SN 29500 is considered without testing. In this paper, we will introduce the standard and various input parameters. Also the case study will be shown for BDS. Prediction model is constructed by listing all the components of BDS. It calculates the $\pi$ factors for each components using the conversion equation in the standard and converts the reference failure rates to the expected operating failure rates. According to the result, the parts which will be improved are EV-Relays.

Application of electrodewatering (EDW) to mechanical dewatering system was studied to decrease water content in the sludge generated from waste water treatment process. Experiments realized the reduction of water content in the sewage sludge. EDW enhancing the conventional filtration by an electric field is an emerging technology with the potential to improve dewatering. In this study, a piston filter press was constructed, the digested sludges were dewatered by EDW under conditions of DC electric field and constant pressure in the piston filter press. Constant electric field from $0{\sim}120\;V/cm$ and constant pressure $98.1{\sim}392.4\;kPa$ were used. The results showed that as electric field was increased the dewatering rates increased and as pressure was increased the dewatering rates decreased. Also as polymer was added the dewatering rates increased. This experiments produced final sludge cake with water content of 60 wt% using EDW, compared with 80 wt% using pressure filtration alone.

The present study was undertaken to examine the critical effect of $Ca^2$+ concentration on electrostimulation and post-electrostimulation media for electric activation of in vitro matured oocytes of Korean Native Cattle. Oocytes collected from slaughterhouse ovaries were matured in TCM 199 containing FSH, estradiol-17$\beta$ and FBS with granulosa cell monolayer for 24 hours and denuded with hyaluronidase. And then cumulus-free oocytes were submitted to a DC field of 1.0 kV/cm for 60 $\mu$sec in electroporation media(0.28 M mannito' and PBS) with different $Ca^2$+ concentations (0.00, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 mM). Stimulated oocytes were stained and examined for pronuclear formation after incuhation in SOF for 12 hours. The rates of pronuclear formation in hovine oocytes electrically stimulated in 0.28 M mannitol with 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 mM $Ca^2$+(60.3, 82.2 and 75.0%) were significantly higher than without $Ca^2$+(6.3%) at 12 hours after an electric pulse(p<0.005). The activation rates of Korean Native Cattle oocytes stimulated in PBS supplemented with 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 mM $Ca^2$+(71.0, 75.8 and 75.4%) were significantly higher than without $Ca^2$+(23.5%) after post-stimulation incubation(p<0.005). After incubation of oocytes in SOF with and without $Ca^2$+ following electric stimulation in 0.28 M mannitol with 0.10 mM $Ca^2$+, the rates of pronuclear formation of bovine oocytes in $Ca^2$+-free SOF(85.7%) was significantly higher than in SOF with 1.71 mM $Ca^2$+(62.5%, p<0.05). When oocytes were stimulated in two electrostimulation media supplemented with $Ca^2$+ and incubated in $Ca^2$+-free SOF, there were no significant differences in the rates of pronuclear formation hetween 0.28 M mannitol and PBS. These results indicate that a single electric pulse could induce activation of Korea Native Cattle oocytes in 0.28 M mannitol and PBS supplemented with $Ca^2$+. Furthermore, to improve the activation rates, it was hetter that stimulated oocytes were incubated in $Ca^2$+-free SOF after electric stimulation than in SOF with $Ca^2$+.

The high quality power is consisted with uniform frequence, no interruption and uniform voltage. In these components, the voltage of the distribution systems affects making economic distribution facility and improving power quality. This paper describes on the voltage apportion rates of the distribution systems in KEPCO.

This paper shows a reasonable design standard of electric equipment capacity for office buildings, that was made by the systematic and statistical way considering actual conditions, such as investigated electric equipment capacity, electric power consumption, etc for 121 buildings. The saving of electric equiment investment, the decrease of power loss, the improvement of facilities utilization and the decreasse of electric power rates can be contributed by the application of the design standard.

We fabricated and tested porous silicon-based electroosmotic pumps. Compared to other pumping media, porous silicon is beneficial for obtaining comparable flow rates with much lowered electric potential, while maintaining enough mechanical properties. We fabricated porous silicon with two sided-reactive etching processes. We found higher flow rate per electric potential (consistent with previous studies) and we also found asymmetric flow rates for different pumping directions. We plan to utilize this asymmetry for AC pumping applications.
