Recently the electrostatic 2-axis MEMS stages have been fabricated f3r the purpose of an application to PSD (Probe-based Storage Device). However, all of the components (platform, comb electrodes, springs, anchors, etc.) in those stages are placed in-plane so that they have low areal efficiencies such as a few percentage, which is undesirable as data storage devices. In this paper, we present a novel structure of an electrostatic 2-axis MEMS stage that is characterized by having a large areal efficiency of about 25%. For obtaining large area efficiency, the actuator part consisting of mainly comb electrodes and springs is placed right below the platform. The structure and operational principle of the MEMS stage are described, followed by a design and analysis, the fabrication and measurement results. Experimental results show that the driving ranges of the fabricated stage along the x and y axis were 27$\mu$m, 38$\mu$m at the supplied voltages of 65V, 70V, respectively and the natural frequencies along x and y axis were 180Hz, 310Hz, respectively. The total size of the stage is about 5.9$\times$6.8mm$^2$ and the platform size is about 2.7$\times$3.6mm$^2$.

The components of an aero-engine gas path cannot be monitored in a timely way due to a lack of real-time monitoring technologies. As an attempt to address this problem, we have conducted research on a condition monitoring technology based on the charging characteristics of particles in an aero-engine gas path, and emphatically analyze the formation of particles in an aero-engine gas path, the charging mechanism of carbon particles and the factors that influence the charge quantity and polarity. The verification experiments are performed on the simulated experiment platform and a turbo-shaft engine test bench. The results show the carbon particles' carry charge, and an obvious change in the total electrostatic charge level in the aero-engine gas path due to the increased carbon particles produced by burning or abnormal metal particles; the charge number is related to the size of particles, and the bigger carbon particles carry a negative charge and metal particles carry a positive charge; the change in engine power can lead to an obvious change in the level of electrostatic charge in the gas path, and the change in electrostatic charge results from the extra carbon particles formed in the rich-oil burning process. The research provides a reference for establishing the baseline of electrostatic charge while the engine runs on different power. The study also demonstrates the validity of the electrostatic monitoring technology and establishes a base for developing the application of electrostatic monitoring technology in aero-engines.

This paper describes a new algorithm based on design sensitivity analysis for optimal shape design of electrostatic devices. The design sensitivity, the variation of the object function with respect to the design variables, is derived by using implicit differentiation and direct boundary element methods. The proposed algorithm is applied to the optimal shape design of a concentric cable and the rod electrode enclosed by earthed case, It is shown, from the numerical results, that the algorithm is very usefull for the optimal shape design of the electrostatic devices.

To assess the electrostatic interaction of surfaces at the triple contact line, the electrostatic field is analyzed by using the finite element method. The Helmholtz free energy is used as a functional which should be minimized under an equilibrium condition. The numerical results are compared with the nonlinear analytical solution for a two-dimensional charged interface and linear solution for a wedge shaped geometry, which shows fairly good agreement. The method is applied to the analysis of electrostatic influence on the contact angle on a charged substrate. The excess free energy found to increase drastically as the contact angle approaches to zero. This excess free energy Plays an opposite role to the Primary electrocapillary effect, as the contact angle gets smaller. This enables an alternative explanation for the contact-angle saturation phenomenon occurring in electrical control of surface tension and contact angle.

In this study, position optimization of insulation rods and suspension rods in discharge electrode frame of electrostatic precipitator(EP) is performed using finite element analysis(FEA). The object of the optimization is to minimize the difference of altitudes in unevenly sagged horizontal structure and to regulate the size of materials within the allowable stress bounds. Uppermost horizontal channel of discharge electrode frame is highly stressed and uniformity of lowest horizontal angle depends on the position of rods. Ten types of frame are analyzed and one recommended model is presented.

Static and dynamic responses of micro cantilever beam structures undertaking electrostatic forces are obtained employing Galerkin's method based on Euler beam theory. Variations of static and dynamic responses as well as resonant frequencies are estimated for several sets of beam properties and applied voltages. It is shown that the applied voltage influences the deflection and the modal characteristics significantly. Such information can be usefully employed for the design of MEMS structures.

Salicylic acids as anti-inflammatory agents were analyzed by ab initio, quantum chemical methods to study the possible modes of binding to the receptor. As the result of multiple regression analysis of reactivity indices and interpretation of normalized frontier orbital charges of drugs, potency seems to be related to energy of HOMO and LUMO at the 5 position of benzene ring, and in the 5-phenyl substituted case, the para position of substituting ring is important. The binding occurs first at the positive site of its receptor. The charge density exhibited by the frontier orbitals suggests that charge moves from receptor site to carboxyl group. The electrostatic orientation effect makes an important contribution to the binding of the active molecules to their receptors. Also the electrostatic potential model may be able to rationalize the source of activity or inactivity of the drugs under investigation.

This paper describes error estimate mothod for adaptive finite element analysis of two dimensional electrostatic and magnetostatic field problems. To estimate the local errors, divergence theorem is used for electrostatic field and Ampere's circuital law for magnetostatic field. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed error estimators, adaptive finite element computations are performed using the proposed error estimators. The rates of convergence of global errors are comparable with those of existing adaptive finite element schemes which make use of field continuity conditions between element boundaries. This algorithm of error estimate can be easily implemented because of its simplicity. Especially, when the value of charge in electrostatic field and the value of current in magnetostatic field are to be figured out, this method is considerded to be preferable to other approaches.

In this research, our objective was to investigate the efficacy of electrostatic precipitation in capturing mist particles. We assumed that it could be helpful in multi-functional facilities and similar environments where both humidification and dehumidification are required. We derived the air density of the humidified air based on its properties using Dalton's law. The analysis was performed to evaluate the collection efficiency of capturing mist aerosols of various sizes. As a result, we revealed that under the conditions of a dry-bulb temperature of 26.0℃ and relative humidity of 8%, the system achieved a collection efficiency of 99.999% or more for aerosols larger than 2.5㎛. These results indicate that electrostatic precipitation technology shows great promise as an effective method for capturing mist particles.
