This study is to propose an in-process monitoring system for micro resistance spot welding processes using minute accelerometer. A minute accelerometer is mounted on the upper moving electrode tip holder. With its high sensitivity and frequency response characteristics, accelerometer output signal has been successfully recorded and integrated twice to reflect electrode expansion during micro spot welding processes. The analysis of electrode expansion pattern was attempted to find its correlation with spot weld quality. Major previous findings1-6) regarding spot weld quality assessment with the electrode expansion signal in large scale resistance spot welding processes were proved to be true in this in-process monitoring system.

Ultrasmall electodes are of great importance for basic electrochemical study and applications. We fabricated single crystal (111) Au nanowire (NW) by growth mechanism on substrate without any catalyst. Consequently, these high aspect NW combined with tungsten microwire and the electrodes having NW tip on their end were obtained. These single crystal Au (111) NWs were characterized by electron microscope and electrochemical analysis. We show that precise electrochemical measurement could be possible on these NW electrode by obtaining underpotential deposition (UPD) and ferricyanide CV profiles on the electrode. The immersed depth of electrode into solution was controlled in micrometer scale by piezo-driven manipulator.

Methods and systems to remove static electricity are requested in the field of industry because the static electricity causes a flammable gas explosion or fire and a reduction of production rate in manufacturing semiconductor devices and so on. This paper is a basic study about a new structure of electrode system to control the quantities of generated ions and to solve the problem of dust attachment to needle electrode. In addition, a new type field controlled electrostatic charge neutralizer was proposed, and it could control the electric field in the end of the needle electrode by controlling the voltage of the third electrode around the tip of the needle electrode. As aresult, it was possible to control the quantities of generated ion by controlling the electric field in the needle electrode with the third electrode, which shows the possibilities to solve the nonequilibrium of generated ions in ac power source and the problem of the dust in the needle electrode.

We report a simple, low cost, and reliable method for assembling a multi-walled nanotube (MWNT) to the end of a metal coated scanning probe microscopy (SPM) tip. By dropping the MWNT solution and applying an electric field between an SPM tip and an electrode, MWNTs which were dispersed into a dielectric solution were directly assembled onto the apex of the SPM tip due to the attraction by the dielectrophoretic force. The effective measurement of a MWNT -attached SPM tip was demonstrated by direct comparison with AFM images of a standard sample with a bare AFM tip.

Inception and propagation of electrical tree and properties of Partial discharge(PD) pulses accompanying with tree as a function of needle tip radius in low density polyethylene were discussed. To study on these characteristics in different tip radius, we used specimens with needle-plane electrode system made of LDPE, observed inception and propagation of electrical tree by optical microscope with computer and investigated the characteristics of the phase resolved PD pulses accompanying with propagation of electrical tree. The PD quantities detected and analysed were PD magnitude, mean phase angle, average discharge, and the statistical characteristics of the PD pulses. As the tip radius ${\gamma}$ increases, tree inception stress E$\sub$i/ converges to constance value. This result suggests that tree inception stress E$\sub$i/ increases due to stress relaxation when the tip radius is small. Branch-type electrical tree was formed When E$\sub$i/ is 640-750[kV/mm]. bush-type electrical tree when E$\sub$i/ is 370∼400[kV/mm], branch-like electrical tree when E$\sub$i/ is 370-400[kV/mm].

Objective: To investigate the association among the electrode placement method, electrode type, and local tumor progression (LTP) following percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and to assess the risk factors for LTP. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we enrolled 211 patients, including 150 males and 61 females, who had undergone ultrasound-guided RFA for a single HCC < 3 cm. Patients were divided into four combination groups of the electrode type and placement method: 1) tumor-puncturing with an internally cooled tip (ICT), 2) tumor-puncturing with an internally cooled wet tip (ICWT), 3) no-touch with ICT, and 4) no-touch with ICWT. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses were performed to evaluate the risk factors for LTP. The major RFA-related complications were assessed. Results: Overall, 83, 34, 80, and 14 patients were included in the ICT, ICWT, no-touch with ICT, and no-touch with ICWT groups, respectively. The cumulative LTP rates differed significantly among the four groups. Compared to tumor puncturing with ICT, tumor puncturing with ICWT was associated with a lower LTP risk (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 0.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0-0.88, P = 0.034). However, the cumulative LTP rate did not differ significantly between tumor-puncturing with ICT and no-touch RFA with ICT (aHR = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.03-1.62, P = 0.188) or ICWT (aHR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0-2.28, P = 0.294). An insufficient ablative margin was a risk factor for LTP (aHR = 6.13, 95% CI = 1.41-22.49, P = 0.019). The major complication rates were 1.2%, 0%, 2.5%, and 21.4% in the ICT, ICWT, no-touch with ICT, and no-touch with ICWT groups, respectively. Conclusion: ICWT was associated with a lower LTP rate compared to ICT when performing tumor-puncturing RFA. An insufficient ablation margin was a risk factor for LTP.

We researched carbon nanotube(CNT) cartridge as a CNT sample for the fabrication of nanotweezer which is composed of a couple of single CNT tip. Our CNT cartridge was made by dielectrophoretic methods, a kind of micromanipulation technique using electric field. Therein we intended to fabricate the CNT cartridge with just conventional function generators and a set of simple electrode. A knife edge and a flat metal electrode were employed as a couple of electrode, and these electrode pair faced each other with the gap. When the gap is filled with CNT suspension, we induced AC electric field into the gap. Then CNTs was attached on the sharp edge in knife edge by dielectrophoresis. This knife edge with attached CNTs is called as the CNT cartridge.

A crack emanating from an internal electrode or a conducting damage path in ferroelectric ceramic actuators is analyzed. The boundary of the domain switching zone near the edge of the internal electrode in a ceramic multilayer actuator is determined based on the nonlinear electric theory. The stress intensity factor induced by a ferroelectric domain switching under small scale conditions is numerically obtained for flaws of various sizes near the electrode edge. It is found that stress intensity factor near the crack tip depends on the material property of the electrical nonlinearity.
