In this experimental study we propose the double dielectric barrier discharge(DDBD) reactor to produce as high an electric field as possible. DDBD reactor is designed to remove $NO_x$ at atmospheric pressures from the moving pollution source such as diesel automobile DDBD reactor consisted of two cylinder glass tubes arranged so that the gas flow was directed between the two tubes. Inside of the inner tube was filled with small metal beads and outside of the inner tube was wounded with stainless wire to form the electrode. The outer tube was surrounded by an aluminum foil In this reactor there are three electrodes, i.e. metal bead(C), helical wire(I) and aluminum foil(0). By using DDBD reactor we will report some interesting results of treatment of the gas which is the dilute mixtures of NO in N2. And then we compared thee results with the results of cylinder-wire(CW) which is one of popularly used reactor in non-thermal plasma applications.

We have constructed and operated a discharge heated copper vapor laser which generated green (510.6 nm) and yellow (578.2 nm) light. The plasma tube was made of high purity (99.8%) alumina tube which has an inner diameter 25 mm and a length 106 cm. The electrodes, made of molybdenum sheet, were separated 108 cm apart. The laser gave an average power of 10 W at repetition rate of 5 kHz, charging voltage of 10 kV, Ne buffer gas pressure of 40 mbar, and the laser tube temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$..

In this paper microwave power propagated through the cold plasma was analyzed and measured with respect to the external magenetic flux density. The d. c discharge plasma was in the rectangular waveguide in which two electrode was inserted, and also the glass diseharge tube inserted in the ractangular wavegside. The direction of microwave pro-pagation, the axis of the discharge tube and external magnetic flux were perpendicular to each other. It showed that the attenuation and absorption of micro wave power propagated in the plasma was increased as the magnetic flux density, the discharge current and the pressure of the gas were increased.

The ozone generation is commonly made with silent discharge method using quartz glass dielectric. In this paper, using $Al_2O_3$ dielectric to instead of the traditional quartz glass dielectric to improve the system efficiency is presented. The dielectric was manufactured as tube shape (Internal diameter${\times}$ Outside diameter: $11{\times}15mm$) using 99% $Al_2O_3$ ceramic. The characteristics of dielectric discharge and ozone generation were studied of experiments with variation of discharge power, discharge electrode space and rate of flow for supplied gas ($O_2$/Air). As the experimental results, in the same discharge space, the ozone concentration continuously increased with input power increasing, and ozone yield increased until saturation happened. Also, the expended power increased with discharge space extended due to discharge power increased. In additional, the ozone concentration of oxygen ozone was higher than air that was observed when using oxygen ozone in proposed experiments.

Silent gas discharge method has been widely applied for ozone production, ultraviolet light and UV laser generation. Since ozone and ultraviolet applications have tendency to spread widely in industry, the development of efficient and low-cost power supply for such systems is a task of great impotency. This paper introduces high-frequency inverter type mode power supply designed for ozone generation tube and ultraviolet generation excimer lamp and considerations on this inverter and pulse density modulation control strategy applied in it.

In removing the flue-gas using electrical discharge method, it is important to dissociate or ionize the atoms and molecules by the collisions with energetic electrons and it produces the radicals that are used to decompose the pollutants. For that purpose, a bidirectional pulsed voltage is used to produce lots of energetic electrons efficiently and increase the power efficiency. The simulation is performed with changing the pulsewidth under the fixed applied voltage. The particle-mesh model coupling the NGP(nearest-grid-point) to FEM(finite element method) is used to simulate the behavior of electrons and the spatio-temporal variation of the electric field for the streamer in discharge tube.

The measured plasma temperature of Ar hollow cathode discharge for several metal cathodes are about $620\;{\sim}\;780K$ at discharge current of $7\;{\sim}\;10mA$. The optogalvanic signals were measured using hollow cathode discharge tube with argon as buffer gas at change of discharge currents. A change of ionization rate due to electron collision causes an increase or decrease of the electric conductivity. This change in electric conductivity generates the optogalvanic signal. We conclude that optogalvanic signal has close relation with the lowest metastable atoms density at low current.

In this paper, a superposed discharge type ozonizer with an internal dielectric that can be made into a vacuum tube has been designed and fabricated. Ozone generation and discharge characteristics have been investigated in accordance with output voltage of power supply, flow-rate, discharge power and vacuum of inside internal dielectric. Pure oxygen was used as the supply gas of the ozonizer. Ozone concentration and ozone generation are gradually increased when discharge power is increased at the same flow-rate and they are both proportional to the vacuum level. As such, the maximum ozone concentration of 8840 ppm was obtained at vacuum 0.1 Torr and flow-rate 0.5 $\ell$/min.

Background ; To evaluate the efficacy of Fibrin glue to decrease recurrence in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) for a treatment of spontaneous penumothorax. Material and Method : All medical records of 17 patients who underwent a thoracoscopic wedge resections of bullae with stapling device with Fibrin glue in our institute between May 1998 and December 1999 were reviewed. variables analyzed include affected sites primary indication of VATS. duration from admission to discharge duration of postoperative stay duration of chest tube drainage recurrence and complication. There were 16 men and 1 woman. Result : There was no evidence of hemodynamic instability or arterial blood gas abnormalities encountered during the procedure. Mean age at the time of the VATS was 26.9 years (range 15 to 61 years) The mean duration from admission to discharge was 7.8 days and mean postoperative stay was 5.1days mean chest tube indwelling period was 4..0 days. There was no recurrence of pneumothorx. Conclusion : Thoracoscopic wedge resections with introduction of fibrin glue are safe and effective and requires only a short hospital stay. We believe that this thoracoscopic technique will further simplify the surgical treatment of pneumothorax.
