A study on experimental method of the model test for the impulse turbine is carried out. the wave simulator is used to reproduce the real wave condition. It controls two parameter correspond to wave height and wave frequency. The optimum design which is reported by T. Setoguchi is manufactured and tested for the validation of our test facilities. The comparison of model test show that our facilities produce little bit higher efficiency at maximum efficiency point. To increase the efficiency of turbine, the new rotor with negative tip clearance is designed and being tested.

The present paper deals with the numerical study to analyze the self-starting performance of impulse turbine in a reciprocating air flow generated by sinusoidal motion of wave inside oscillating water column. Result was compared to that of Wells turbine, well-known wave energy conversion device, and showed that the impulse turbine has a superior self-starting ability. More detailed parametric study was performed to demonstrate the effects of moment of inertia of rotor, loading torque, tip clearance and angle of guide vane.

This experimental study describes the propagation characteristics of the impulse noise emitted from the exit of a perforated pipe attached to the open end of a simple shock tube facility. The pressure amplitudes and directivities of the impulse wave propagating outside from the exit of pipe with several different configurations are measured and analyzed for the range of the incident weak shock wave Mach number between 1.02 and 1.2. In the experiments. the impulse waves are visualized by a Schlieren optical system for the purpose of understanding their propagation characteristics. The results obtained show that for the near sound field the impulse noise strongly propagates toward the pipe axis, but for the far sound field the impulse noise uniformly propagates toward the omnidirections, indicating that the directivity pattern is almost same regardless of the pipe type. For this non-directivity in the far sound field, it is shown that the perforated pipe has little performance to suppress the impulse noise.

Plate impingement of the impulse wave discharged from the open end of a duct is numerically investigated using a CFD method. Harten-Yee Total Variation Diminishing method is used to solve the unsteady, compressible flow governing equations. The Mach number, the flat plate inclination and the distance between the duct exit and inclined flat plate are changed to investigate their effects on the impinging flow field. The impulse wave impingement on the inclined flat plate depends on Mach number $M_s$ and the plate inclination $\psi$. The pressure distributions on the inclined flat plate show that for a small r/D, the peak pressure at the center of an inclined flat plate decreases with an increase in the plate inclination $\psi$ in the range of $\psi$ from $45^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$ but for a large r/D, the peak pressure decreases with an increase in $\psi$ in the range of $\psi$ from $75^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. It is also found that for all of r/D, the peak pressure at the center of an inclined flat plate has a maximum value in $\psi=90^{\circ}$.

As the huge economical loss and function paralysis of information technology-based systems can be caused by the misoperation of residual current devices(RCDs) due to surge voltages and currents, RCDs shall not operate by surge currents. In this paper, in order to evaluate the reliability of residual current operated circuit-breakers with integral overcurrent protection for household and similar uses((RCBOs) stressed by surges, the unintended trip characteristics of RCBOs under surge currents were experimentally investigated using the combination wave generator. Seven different types of single-phase RCBOs being present on the domestic market were investigated according to KS C IEC 61009-1 standard. As a result, all kinds of specimens were satisfied the requirements for 0.5 [${\mu}s$]/100[kHz] ring wave impulse currents. Most of specimens stressed by the 8/20[${\mu}s$] impulse current tripped at least one or more, and some of them were broken down during consecutive tests. It was found that only one type of specimens meets the L-N mode immunity to the combination wave of 1.2/50[${\mu}s$] impulse voltage and 8/20[${\mu}s$] impulse current.

In this paper, an impulse generator for UWB(Ultra Wide-band) technique with great possibility to be adopted as a next generation indoor WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) has been designed by using SRD(Step Recovery Diode). Design goal is to design an impulse generator with simple structure, low cost, small size, and high performance. The impulse generator satisfied by FCC's regulation ( frequency range: 3.1~10.6 GHz, limit of power level: -41.25 dBm ) has been simulated by using ADS(Advanced Design System) which is the trade name of the Agilent Technologies. The output power of the impulse generator has been explained separately for single and multi band purposes, respectively.

This paper describes numerical analysis of the impulse turbine with fixed guide vanes, a high performance hi-directional air turbine having simple structure for wane energy conversion. A 3-dimensional incompressible viscous flow numerical analysis based on the full Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes equations was made to investigate the internal flow behavior Numerical results ate compared with experimental data. As a result, a suitable choice for the one of design factors has been clarified.

This paper introduces the method how to measure the thrust in impulse facility. In a Facility having such a short duration time of steady flow, there's no time to reach a steady state of the forces acting on model so that the test model vibrates until the end of the flow. The forces exerted on an engine exist with vibration so that the usual force balance can not be used. SWFB(Stress Wave Force Balance) technique is utilized in a shock tunnel to get the thrust. As an example, a model force balance has been calculated its strain against impulse force by using FEM(Finite Element Method). A transfer function between the impulse force and strain has been obtained by the way of de-convolution.

Recently the authors have observed various wave-forms by insertion of induction coil into the scala tympani as well as attached outer device in the outside of the body in damaged hair cells of the cats. In the cochlear nerve. action potential indicated different polarities induced by examination of the bundle of the cochlear nerve fibers. Impulse wave-form as a result of excitation of cohlear nerve fibers showed bipolar wave-form such as negative 1 and positive 1. Therefore action potential showed also bipolar wave-form as above mentioned. We can obtained suitable response with above mentioned outer and inner device as an exact oscillogram.
