A new hybrid permanent magnet biased magnetic levitation actuator (maglev) is developed. This new maglev actuator is composed of two C-core electromagnetic cores separated with two permanent magnets. Compared to the conventional hybrid maglev actuators, the new actuator has unique flux paths such that bias flux paths are separated with control flux paths. The control flux paths have minimum reluctances only developed by air gaps, so the currents to produce control fluxes can be minimized. The gravity load can be compensated with the permanent magnet bias fluxes developed at off-centered air gap positions while external disturbances are controlled with control fluxes by currents. The consumed power to operate this levitation system can be minimized. 1-D magnetic circuit model is developed for this model such that the flux densities and magnetic forces are extensively analyzed. 3-D finite element model is also developed to analyze the performances of the maglev actuator.

A disk-type 3-DOF actuator which has new principle and very simple structure is proposed. Also it utilizes the relation of bias and control fluxes produced by permanent magnets and coils, respectively, like other conventional electromagnetic actuators, but its main feature is that both the coils and permanent magnets are fixed in the stator, which makes it easy to design the shape of moving part. Operating principle is that a moving disk is driven by reaction force of Lorentz force acting on the fixed equivalent coil. Simple analytic approach and FEM analysis are performed to determine the design parameters so as to increase the driving force and distance. And some experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed actuator.

A 3-DOF actuator which has new principle and very simple structure is proposed. Its principle seems to be similar to conventional electromagnetic actuators, that is, to utilize the relation of control and bias fluxes produced by coils and permanent magnets, respectively, but the coils and permanent magnets of the proposed actuator are fixed in the stator. Such a structure helps to optimally design the actuator for its use. Some experimental and FEM analysis results show the feasibility of the proposed actuator and some characteristics of system that are useful lot structure design and control.

A new permanent magnet biased hybrid maglev actuator is developed. Compared to the classical hybrid maglev actuators, the new maglev has unique flux paths such that bias fluxes are separated with control flux paths. The control flux paths have minimum reluctances only developed by air gaps, so the currents to produce control fluxes can be minimized. The consumed power to operate this maglev system can also be minimized. The gravity load can be compensated with the static magnetic forces developed by the permanent magnet bias fluxes while external disturbances are controlled with the bidirectional AC magnetic forces developed by control fluxes by currents. 1-D circuit model is developed for this model such that the flux densities and magnetic forces are extensively analyzed. 3-D finite element model is also developed to analyze the performances of the maglev actuator.

Objectives : This study uses meta-analysis methodology to examine the statistical consistency and importance of random variation among results of epidemiologic studies of occupational electromagnetic field exposure and leukemia. Methods : Studies for this meta-analysis were identified from previous reviews and by asking researcher active in this field for recommendations. Overall, 27 studies of occupational electromagnetic field exposures and leukemia were reviewed. A variety of meta-analysis statistical methods have been used to assess combined effects, to identify heterogeneity, and to provide a single summary risk estimate based on a set of simiar epidemiologic studies. In this study, classification of exposure metircs on occupational epidemiologic studies are reported for (1) job classification (20 individual studies); (2) leukemia subtypes (13 individual studies); and (3) country (27 individual studies). Results : Results of this study, an inverse-variance weighted pooling of all the data leads to a small but significant elevation in risk of f 1% (OR=1.11, 95% CI : $1.06\sim1.16$) among 27 occupational epidemiologic studies. Publication bias was assessed by the 'fail-safe n' that may be not influence for all combined results exception a few categories, ie, 'power station operators' and 'electric utility workers' by job classification on occupational study. And ail combined odds ratio results were similar for fixed-effects models and random-effects models, with slightly higher risk estimates for the random-effects model in situations where there was significant heterogeneity, ie, Q-statistic significant (p<.05). Conclusions : We found a small elevation in risk of leukemia, but the ubiquitous nature of exposure to electromagnetic fields from workplace makes even a weak association a public health issue of substantial power to influence the present overall conclusion about relationship between electromagnetic fields exposure and leukemia.

Topex/Poseidon satellite altimetric data are used to estimate characteristics on the oceanic and atmospheric correction factors, and the mean sea level and its variations in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the East Sea from September 1992 through August 1994(70cycles). For the atmospheric correction factors, the variations of dry troposphere, humid troposphere, ionosphere and inverted barometer were very small as a few centimeters, but the variations of electromagnetic bias were higher than other factors. For the oceanic correction factors, the variations of ocean tide(35cm in track 127 and 60cm in track 214) showed high ranges compared to elastic tide(5cm in track 127 and 1cm in track 214) and loading tide(1.8cm in track 127 and 1cm in track 214). It should be understood that the variations of ocean free surface is mainly under the influence of, firstly, ocean tide and, secondly, electromagnetic bias. Mean sea level in the Yellow Sea are higher than in the rest of Seas. Then its range generally comprised between -60cm and 210cm with mean value of about 100cm. Also its variations showed high values in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, especially 5.689cm in Youngampo. This result is mainly due to the effects of local topography and tidal current.

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for effectively estimating the occupied bandwidth of frequency modulation (FM) signals. The proposed method makes use of the smoothing niter for removing the perturbation of spectrum envelope, which frequently occurs in FM signals having the instantaneous frequency. An effective procedure is derived for finding the relatively accurate bandwidth of FM signals combined with x-dB bandwidth measurement method, which International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication (ITU-R) recommended. It was shown that the proposed approach provides superior performance relative to the one obtained with the x-dB bandwidth measurement method in terms of sample bias and mean squared error of bandwidth estimates.

In this paper, the phase noise of 900 MHz VCO is improved using modified strip line square ring resonator. In order to demonstrate the phase noise improvement of the proposed VCO, the same circuit was manufactured using shorted-circuit resonator. In condition of the same bias current, the phase noise of the proposed VCO with modified square ring resonator is suppressed by 7 dB as - 103 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset compared to the conventional VCO with short-circuit resonator. From the proposed VCO, we achieved output power of - 4.8 dBm, harmonics suppression of 16 dB, and tuning bandwidth of 100 MHz. The proposed VCO consumed 5 mA at 3 V, and its size is 1.2 cm ${\times}$ 1.0 cm.

This paper presents a low-loss broadband balun that uses a coplanar waveguide-to-slotline field transformation. It operates over a very wide frequency range and is of compact size since it does not depend on a resonant structure. To analyse imbalance, the coplanar wavelength(CPW) input ground is connected to the CPW output ground through various capacitors to introduce common-mode impedances. As the common-mode impedance increased the imbalance became significantly higher at the higher-frequency band compared with the lower-frequency band. The bias-circuit approach is used to improve the operation bandwidth of the lower-frequency band. The measured results show a passband of 200 MHz to 2 GHz, an insertion loss of less than 0.75 dB, and a size of $20{\times}14\;mm$. The amplitude imbalance is approximately 0.3 dB and the phase imbalance is less than $6^{\circ}$ over the entire operational range.
