AC loss is one of the important parameters in HTS (High Temperature Superconducting) AC devices. Among the HTS AC power devices, the transformer is the essential part in the electrical power system. But unfortunately, the transformer is the worst HTS device concerning AC loss because of very large magnetization loss due to high magnetic field applied to the HTS wire. We calculated the magnetization losses in HTS pancake windings for transformer according to the operating temperature. Two kinds of arrangement of HTS pancake windings were adopted for calculation of AC losses of a shell type transformer, and the analysis results were presented and discussed.

This study presents a simple method to control the seed orientation which leads to the various growth characteristics of a single grain REBCO (RE: rare-earth elements) bulk superconductors. Seed orientation was varied systematically from c-axis to a-axis with every 30 degree rotation around b-axis. Orientations of a REBCO single grain was successfully controlled by placing the seed with various angles on the prismatic indent prepared on the surface of REBCO powder compacts. Growth pattern was changed from cubic to rectangular when the seed orientation normal to compact surface was varied from c-axis to a-axis. Macroscopic shape change has been explained by the variation of the wetting angle of un-reacted melt depending on the interface energy between $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y123) grain and melt. Higher magnetic levitation force was obtained for the specimen prepared using tilted seed with an angle of 30 degree rotation around b-axis.

This study presents three dimensional (3-D) seeding technique which is a modification of interior seeding. 3-D seeding is beneficial for shortening the processing period and enhancing the magnetic properties of REBCO bulk superconductors fabricated by melt growth. Oxygen channels were provided by using divided powder compacts instead of by using a rubber insert. Microstructure observations revealed that the grains grown from the seeds impinged each other and formed low angle grain boundaries of (001)/(001). It has been shown that the 3-D seeding technique reduces the volume fraction of a-c growth sector and thereby maximizes the area of a-b growth sector which attribute to the high magnetic characteristics of single grain REBCO bulk superconductors.

Effect of the pin radius on the radiation characteristics of a patch antenna with a pin array inserted between a patch and ground plane is investigated. As the pin radius increases, the resonant frequency increases and the radiation intensity in the horizontal plane decreases. However, the radiation intensity in the horizontal plane increases for the pin radius larger than a certain value.

Radiation characteristics of a microstrip patch antenna integrated with a UC-EBG (Uniplanar Compact Electromagnetic Bandgap) structure and a Mushroom EBG structure are compared. Radiation characteristics of a patch antenna integrated with a Mushroom EBG structure are better than those of a patch antenna integrated with a UC-EBG structure.

The LZW algorithm has some redundancies for voice traffic. Thus, the V-LZW(Voice LZW) algorithm that decreases the redundancies of the LZW algorithm is suggested for efficent compression of voice. The V-LZW algorithm uses the differential method that reduces the codeword size as well as the length of repeated string. According to the simulation results, it could be seen teat the performance of V-LZW algorithm is better by 35% to 44% in voice compression ratio than that of the conventional modified LZW algorithm. Compared with conventional 32 kbps ADPCM coding with 26 dB SNR, V-LZW has 21 kbps transmission rate, no additional quantization error and simple hardware complexity.

Radiation characteristics of a dual-mode inductor loaded patch antenna using zeroth order resonance and half wavelength resonance are investigated. The isolation between two radiation patterns from the two different modes is improved by increasing the forward radiation and decreasing the horizontal radiation of half wavelength resonance mode. The frequency difference between the two resonant frequencies increases as the dielectric constant of the antenna substrate decreases and the operating frequency increases.

This paper proposes super-resolution reconstruction algorithm for image enhancement. Super-resolution reconstruction algorithms reconstruct a high-resolution image from multi-frame low-resolution images of a scene. Conventional super- resolution reconstruction algorithms are iterative back-projection(IBP), robust super-resolution(RS)method and standard Papoulis-Gerchberg(PG)method. However, traditional methods have some problems such as rotation and ringing. So, this paper proposes modified algorithm to improve the problem. Experimental results show that this proposed algorithm solve the problem. As a result, the proposed method showed an increase in the PSNR for traditional super-resolution reconstruction algorithms.
