  • This paper presents a simple and cost effective circuit topology of single-ended type high frequency quasi-resonant PWM inverter using IGBTs, which can operate under wide soft switching operation range based on ZCS for main power switch as compared with a conventional active voltage-clamped ZVS-PWM high frequency quasi-resonant inverter developed previously. In principle, this new circuit topology can efficiently operate under a constant frequency PWM control-based power regulation scheme. In particular, it is noted that the zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation can achieve for the main active power switch. On the other hand, the zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) commutation can also achieve for the auxiliary active power switch. The operating principle of this high-frequency Inverter treated here and its power regulation characteristics are illustrated on the basis of the simulation and feasible experimental results.

  • This paper describes an advanced prototype of voltage-fed zero voltage soft-switching PWM resonant inverter with an active voltage clamped capacitor, which is put into practice for high-frequency high-power induction-heated appliances. This application-specific quasi-resonant inverter using the latest generation IGBTs for soft-switching can regulate its output power under a principle of a fixed frequency ZVS-PWM strategy. Its operating principle and unique features are presented as compared with a conventional quasi-resonant ZVS inverter for induction-heated cooker, together with its power regulation characteristics on the basis of its simulation and experimental results.

  • The grid voltage of commercial utility power source hi Japan and USA is 100rms, but in China and European countries, it is 200rms. In recent years, In Japan 200Vrms out putted single phase three wire system begins to be used for high power applications. In 100Vrms utility AC power applications and systems, an active voltage clamped quasi-resonant Inverter circuit topology using IGBTs has been effectively used so far for the consumer microwave oven. In this paper, presented is a half bridge type voltage-clamped high-frequency Inverter type AC-DC converter using which is designed for consumer magnetron drive used as the consumer microwave oven in 200V utility AC power system. This zero voltage soft switching Inverter can use the same power rated switching semiconductor devices and three-winding high frequency transformer as those of the active voltage clamped quasi-resonant Inverter using the IGBTs that has already been used for 100V utility AC power source. The operating performances of the voltage source single ended push pull type Inverter are evaluated and discussed for consumer microwave oven. The harmonic line current components In the utility AC power side of the AC-DC power converter operating at ZVS­PWM strategy reduced and improved on the basis of sine wave like pulse frequency modulation and sine wave like pulse width modulation for the utility AC voltage source.

  • This paper dealt with an alternative for maximizing mass savings in spacecraft design by replacing conventional aluminum alloy housing used for various spacecraft avionics by composite materials. Key requirements were defined for the purpose of composite housing design with sufficient durability and various functionalities as well as more lightweight characteristics as compared with aluminum alloy widely-used for conventional electronics housing. Conceptual design was also carried out for manufacturing modular, lightweight composite electronic housing equipped with high thermal and electrical conductivities, EMI protection, and radiation shielding characteristics as well as excellent structural performance; feasibility of enhancing mass savings in spacecraft design was presented.

  • This paper dealt with the fabrication and performance evaluation of the electronics housing made of lightweight composite materials, aiming at the enhancement of satellite mass savings by replacing conventional aluminum alloy widely used for satellite avionics with lightweight composite material. For this purpose, a fabrication process was designed to overcome low machinability of CFRP and to minimize the post-treatment. The composite housing with grid-stiffened and monolithic frame was made using co-curing method. Its performance was also evaluated regarding endurance, stiffness, thermal conductivity, electrical grounding, EMI protection and radiation shielding. The composite housing can provide the considerable mass savings over the aluminum housing with same dimension.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine media influence on college students' thoughts and explore determinants of the media influence. Between September 7, 2013, and September 12, 2013, a questionnaire survey was administered to students at university-A and total 328 useable responses were collected. Findings are as follows: (1) Houses in TV drama had a strong influence on college students' future housing preferences but had a relatively weak influence on housing satisfaction and concrete housing expectations; (2) students perceived that houses in TV dramas did not reflect reality well; (3) females and/or relatively younger respondents tended to perceive a stronger influence of media on their thoughts and expectation on housing; (4) respondents who had a stronger desire to imitate lifestyle of TV drama characters and a stronger perception that houses in TV drama reflected reality well, and the respondents whose consumption preferences were more easily influenced by media were found to perceive media influence on their housing expectation stronger; and (5) to see regression analysis results, a linear combination of desire to imitate lifestyle of TV drama characters, perception of reality reflection of houses in TV dramas, gender, perceived media influences on clothes and accessories, and electronics preferences was found to be able to explain 46.4% of variance in media influence on housing expectations.
