We are developing a small-sized high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage (HTS-SMES) magnet with the nominal storage capacity of 600 kJ, which provides electric power with high quality to sensitive electric loads. Critical current and N-value of a high temperature superconductor with large current, which was selected for the development of the 600 kJ HTS-SMES magnet, were investigated in various oblique external magnetic fields. Based on the critical current and N-value measured for the short sample conductor, we discussed the DC V - I characteristic of a model coil fabricated with the same conductor of 500 m. The results show that the measured critical current and N-value of the conductor for parallel field are constant in external magnetic fields less than about 0.2 T. However, for oblique fields, its critical current and N -value abruptly decrease in all external magnetic fields. Moreover, the measured critical current of the model coil well agrees with the numerically calculated one based on the DC V - I characteristic measured for the short sample conductor. This suggest that losses and critical currents for an HTS-SMES magnet made up of a high temperature superconductor with anisotropic characteristic are predictable from the data of a short sample conductor.

The main purpose of this paper is to study on the effect of contact state between metal-polymer interface in electrical conduction of polymeric materials under low field region. The electric conduction of polythylene (PE) sandwitched in between two gold (Au) electrodes was lower than that of PE Sandwitched in between two Aluminium (Al) electrodes under low external field. The discharge current of PE which have been treated by the high field application is also obtained some results under no external field. The obtained results can suggest that the material of electrode come to influence on the electrical conduction of polymeric materials and are important as a basis for analysing the data on TSC. It is also suggestive that results of observation must be considered in cases of insulation design of electrical machinery.

Electrokinesis and dielectrophoresis are important transport phenomena produced by external electric field applied to a microchannel containing a conductive fluid. We developed a CFD code to predict electrokinetic and dielectrophoretic flows in a microchannel with a uniform circular post array. Using the code, we calculated particle velocities driven by electrokinesis and dielectrophoresis, and conducted Monte Carlo simulations to visualize the particle motions. The code was validated by comparing the results with those from previous studies in literature. At a low electric field, electrokinesis and diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism. At a moderate electric field, dielectrophoresis is balanced with electrokinesis and diffusion, resulting in flowing filaments of particles in the microchannels. However, dielectrophoresis overwhelms the flow at a high electric field and traps particles locally. These results provide useful insight for optimizing design parameters of a microfluidic chip for biochemical analysis, especially for development of on-chip sample pretreatment techniques using electrokinetic and dielectrophoretic effects.

Effects of $Ag_2O$ doping on the electromagnetic properties in the BiSrCaCuO superconductor. The electromagnetic properties of doped and undoped $Ag_2O$ in the BiSrCaCuO superconductor were evaluated to investigate the contribution of the pinning centers. It was confirmed experimentally that a larger amount of magnetic flux was trapped in the $Ag_2O$ doped sample than in the undoped one, indicating that the pinning centers of magnetic flux are related closely to the occurrence of the magnetic effect. We have fabricated superconductor ceramics by the chemical process. A high Tc superconductor with a nominal composition of $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_y$ was prepared by the organic metal salts method. Experimental results suggest that the intermediate phase formed before the formation of the superconductor phase may be the most important factor. The relation between electromagnetic properties of Bi HTS and the external applied magnetic field was studied. The electrical resistance of the superconductor was increased by the application of the external magnetic field. But the increase in the electrical resistance continues even after the removal of the magnetic field. The reason is as follows; the magnetic flux due to the external magnetic field penetrates through the superconductor and the penetrated magnetic flux is trapped after the removal of the magnetic flux. During the sintering, doped $Ag_2O$ was converted to Ag particles that were finely dispersed in superconductor samples. It is considered that the area where normal conduction takes place increases by adding $Ag_2O$ and the magnetic flux penetrating through the sample increases. The results suggested that $Ag_2O$ acts to amplify pinning centers of magnetic flux, contributing to the occurrence of the electromagnetic properties.

Electro-Rheological(ER) fluids consist of suspensions of fine polarizable particles In a dielectric oil, which upon application of an external electric field control take on the characteristics of the Bingham solid. In this study, the temperature dependence of the viscosity was Investigated for an ER fluid consisting of 35 weight % of zeolite particles in hydraulic oil 46cSt. Thermal activation analysis was performed by changing the ER fluid's temperature from $-10^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. According to the analysis, the activation energy for flow of the ER fluid was 79.6 kJ/mole without applying electric field. On the other hand, with the electric field of 2kV/mm, the linearity between viscosity and temperature was not existed By changing the temperatures the viscosity (or shear stress) versus shear rates were measured. In this experiment shear rates were increased from 0 to $200s^{-1}$ in 2 minutes. Generally, the hydraulic oil 46cSt will be operated at the temperature of about $40^{\circ}C$, thus, the ER fluid's electric field dependence of viscosity was examined at this temperature. Also, an influence of adding the dispersant(Carbopl 940) on ER effect was discussed.

Multi-rod type Ag-AgCl electrodes have been developed for use in underwater electric field sensors. The developed cylindrical electrode had a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 130 mm. The electrode had five Ag-AgCl rods with a diameter of 2 mm and a height of 80 mm to enlarge the reaction surface area. Each Ag-AgCl rod was fabricated under the same conditions as the usual anodizing method in an electrolyte. The two developed electrodes were placed in the center of a 500-mm long, 400-mm wide, and 300-mm high acrylic tank filled with artificial seawater, at an interval of 100 mm, to evaluate their characteristics as uniaxial underwater electric field sensors. The underwater external electric field was generated using titanium plate electrodes installed at both ends of the tank. The noise level at 1 Hz of the developed electrode was approximately 3.7 nV/√Hz. The reception of the underwater electric field signal using the developed electrode was linear, within an error of approximately 0.6 %, in the range of 1-10000 ㎶/m at 1 Hz. In addition, its frequency response was flat within an error of 1.1 % in the range of 1-1000 Hz at 10000 ㎶/m.

In this paper, we analyzed the fault current performance in a $high-T_{c}$ superconductor(HTS) which was installed on flux-lock reactor with an external magnetic field coil covering the HTS. In this HTS fault current limiter using flux-lock concepts, the initial limiting current level can be controlled by adjusting the inductance of the coils. Furthermore, the current limiting characteristics of $high-T_{c}$ superconducting FCL can be improved by applying the external magnetic field into the $high-T_{c}$ superconductor. This paper discusses current limiting performance according to the inductance of the coil 1 in two cases with ac magnetic field coil or not and suggests the methods to improve the current limiting factor $P_{limit}$, which is defined as the ratio of the limited current $I_{FCL}$ at the current limiting phase to the prospective short -circuit current $I_{PSC}$.TEX> PSC/.

The purpose of this research is to improve the reliability of automobile navigation system that utilizes the magnetic compass for localization. On account of its sensitiveness against the dynamic external interference of the magnetic field, the electronic compass itself is not accurate enough to be used for the localization compared to the gyro-compass. To overcome this shortcoming, in this research, a robust electronic compass is designed by using two magnetic compasses to cancel out the dynamic interferences efficiently. That is, a dual compass predictive calibration algorithm against irregular external interference of magnetic field is newly proposed and implemented in this paper. When the dynamic interference can be eliminated from the electronic compass, it becomes much accurate than the gyro-based system that suffers from the accumulative drift error. The reliability and performance of the designed system have been verified through the real driving experiments.
