The electrical properties of the mixed conducting yttria(8 mol%) stabilized zirconia(YSZ)-nickel oxide(NiO) composites were examined by a.c. impedance, 4-probe d.c. conductivity between 400 and $1000^{\circ}C$. The oxygen partial pressure dependence of conductivity, and electromotive force measurement of galvanic cell enabled to determine the electronic contribution to the conduction. Up to 6 vol% NiO addition, the conductivity decreased since the electronic NiO acted as an insulator in ionic matrix. However the ionic transport was dominant until NiO content reaches 26 vol%. Mixed conduction was observed between 26 and 68 vol% of NiO. The effect of composition on the electrical property was explained by the microstructure and thus by the distribution of two phases.

In this paper, we implemented a LED sensitivity illumination system, being driven in response to changes in the biological signals of GSR and PPG signal. After measuring biological signals of a human body from GSR and PPG sensor modules, MCU decided the state of relaxation or arousal of the subject, being based on the wake relaxation identifying map proposed in this paper. A developed LED sensitivity illumination system makes the subject to reach a normal state by giving a change of the LED illumination color, corresponding to a state of the subject.

In this paper, an active capacitor-diode-switch (CDS) snubber is proposed for L-type current-fed isolated DC-DC converters. The proposed CDS-clamped converter has a number of advantages. It can achieve wide range zero-voltage switching (ZVS) on two switches, a continuous input current with a low ripple, a reduction of one active switch and high efficiency. The operating principles, analysis and parameter design guideline are presented. A 300 W prototype is built to test the proposed converter. Simulation and experimental results are shown at 30 V input voltage and 400 V output voltage.

This experiment from March 1, 1998 to August 31, 2001 through XRD, XRF, SEM, EDS had effects as follows. 1. According to the results of test using XRD and EDS, we found that the main ingredients causing corrosion of steel pipe was ${Fe_2}{O_3}$, that of cast iron pipe was $CaCO_3$. 2. The main ingredient of corrosion products in a water pipe was Fe. On an average Fe occuied 93.36% of corrosion products in case of steel pipe while it did 85.47% in case of cast iron pipe. 3. In case of a piped water passed through SCALE BUSTER over 10 times, the corrosion products decreased largely by the galvanic effect and sacrifical anode caused by the concerntration of Zn.

Recently, due to the onset of the information age, various high-priced, large-size machines have been invented such as intelligent building and high-tech computer operated facilities. Consequently, all kinds of electrical, electronic, and communication equipments and facilities have been found to be vulnerable even to small amounts of electrical shock. Interference between equipments and equipment malfunction occur because of various electromagnetic interferences. Galvanic action by direct current (D.C.) causes gas valve corrosion and other electrical problems such as static electricity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) occur as well. Most of the problems stated above occur because of problems in grounding.

This paper present the Three-Level converter for high power application. In converter system, magnetic components are important devices used for energy storage, energy transfer, galvanic isolation and filtering. The proposed Three-Level converter is to reduce the number of magnetic components. The secondary rectification was discussed by a single core transformer winding. The result of the analysis are verified using 1kW prototype.

This paper describes a novel structure for single phase Unified Power Quality Conditioner-Distributed Generation (UPQC-DG) with direct grid connected DC-AC converter for low DC output DG systems which can be used not only for compensation of power quality problems but also for supplying of load power partly. This converter has been composed of one full-bridge inverter, one three winding high frequency transformer with galvanic isolation and two cycloconverters. Proper control based on Input Output feedback Linearization is used to tracking the reference signals. The simulation and experimental results are presented to confirm the validity of the proposed approach.

This paper presents a novel topology for cascaded transformer sub-multilevel converter. Eachsub-multilevel converter consists of two DC voltage sources with six switches to achieve five-level voltage. The proposed topology results in reduction of DC voltage sources and switches number. Single phase low frequency transformers are used in proposed topology and voltage transformation and galvanic isolation between load and sources are given by transformers. This topology can operate as symmetric or asymmetric converter but in this paper we have focused on symmetric state. The operation and performance of the suggested multilevel converter has been verified by the simulation results of a single-phase nine-level multilevel converter using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

The emotion is deeply affected by human behavior and cognitive process, so it is important to do research about the emotion. However, the emotion is ambiguous to clarify because of different ways of life pattern depending on each individual characteristics. To solve this problem, we use not only physiological signal for objective analysis but also hybrid unsupervised-supervised learning classifier for automatic emotion detection. The hybrid emotion classifier is composed of K-means, genetic algorithm and support vector machine. We acquire four different kinds of physiological signal including electroencephalography(EEG), electrocardiography(ECG), galvanic skin response(GSR) and skin temperature(SKT) as well as we use 15 features extracted to be used for hybrid emotion classifier. As a result, hybrid emotion classifier(80.6%) shows better performance than SVM(31.3%).

This research was carried out to investigate the corrosion prevention effect in the water distribution system by galvanized zinc-brass pipe which is using potential between brass and zinc. As a result of this study, pH and conductivity of influent were constant in spite of its installation, and it was difficult to estimate the effect of the installation with temporary increased and reduced concentration of Zn and Fe ions, respectively. However, since the corrosion rate of the steel coupon with galvanized zinc-brass pipe was relatively low, it has an effect of inhibiting corrosion.
