An outrigger damper system has been proposed to reduce dynamic responses of tall buildings. In previous studies, an outrigger damper system was optimally designed to decrease a wind-induced or earthquake-induced dynamic response. When an outrigger damper system is optimally designed for wind excitation, its control performance for seismic excitation deteriorates. Therefore, a smart outrigger damper system is proposed in this study to make a control system that can simultaneously reduce both wind and seismic responses. A smart outrigger system is made up of MR (Magnetorheological) dampers. A fuzzy logic control algorithm (FLC) was used to generate command voltages sent for smart outrigger damper system and the FLC was optimized by genetic algorithm. This study shows that the smart outrigger system can provide good control performance for reduction of both wind and earthquake responses compared to the general outrigger system.

An alternating current (AC) corrosion using coupon has been studied. Coupons were applied in terms of AC voltage from high value to low value through the survey of AC voltages on buried gas transmission pipeline over the country. Parameters such as AC current density of coupon, AC voltage, cathodic protection potential, soil resistivity and frequency were monitored continually. Corrosion induced by AC was observed even under cathodically protected condition that met cathodic protection criterion(: below -850mv vs. CSE). Corrosion rate was affected mainly not by AC voltage but by both of frequency and AC current density. An experimental corrosion rate relationship could be obtained statistically, in which AC corrosion rate increased linearly with effective AC current density and its slope was 0.619.

A program for numerical analysis of induced lightning surge is developed. The program first converts simultaneous differential equations into simultaneous difference equations for line sections without transition points, and calculates the line voltage and current by solving a determinant. It, then, calculates the line voltage and current at transition points by applying kirhhoffs law. This program is potentially useful in a wide range of applications for investigating the effect on distribution lines of lightning protection equipment such as lightning arresters and overhead ground wires.

A metal sheath provides a cable with electrostatic screening and a degree of magnetic screening. The presence of a screen on a cable also reduces the induction arising from the high-frequency components of transients caused by power-line switching and also induced transients from lightning strokes; such transient induced voltages are of increasing importance with the increasing use of miniaturized telecommunication equipment with very small thermal capacity. This paper describes electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction caused by power interference. Also screening factors are proposed.

In this paper, a numerical calculation method based on CSM has been described. The electric field must be nonuniform even close to railway feed system. In that case, to calculate induced voltage, this paper uses the mutual capacitances between a conductor and railway feed system. The induced voltages of a conductor located at point (height=4m, distance=8m) near by railway feed system are calculated from 370V to 668V.

A two-dimensional analytical model for deriving the threshold voltage of a short channel fully depleted (FD) cylindrical/surrounding gate MOSFET (CGT/SGT) is suggested. By taking into account the lateral variation of the surface potential, introducing the natural length expression, and using the Bessel functions of the first and the second kinds of order zero, we can derive potentials in the gate oxide layer and the silicon core fully two-dimensionally. Making use of these potentials, the minimum surface potential can be obtained to derive the threshold voltage as a closed-form expression in terms of various device parameters and applied voltages. Obtained results can be used to explain the drain-induced threshold voltage roll-off of a CGT/SGT in a unified manner.

The Electromagnetic Interference could occur due to power line on the telecommunication service. The Countermeasure is practised by legal law. Various affecting factors are described in the law. In this paper, an effect by pipeline especially in the ground, power feeding plant, and curved railway sector is analyzed as environmental factors which are not included in the law. By the practical measurement, it appears that the measured voltages on the spots with underground pipeline are grouped into lower voltage level, induced voltage tends to be high near power feeding plant, and also in the curved railway line. These analytical results can be meaningly considered in the application of countermeasure.

Normal zone propagation (NZP) within jointed YBCO coated conductors (CC) was analyzed experimentally. The joint between CC tapes were conducted by lap joint method and the characteristics of the jointed CC tapes measured from V-I curve. NZP was induced by thermal heaters attached to two points of the jointed CC tapes; the voltages across the jointed CC tapes were measured and recorded. NZP induced by each heater point is compared in point of protection of CC tapes and magnet. This study about NZP of the jointed tapes may be useful to make a magnet system with several coils using YBCO CC.

This paper deals with the dielectric behaviors of $SF_6$ gas and prebreakdown growth caused by lightning impulse voltages In inhomogeneous field perturbed with a fixed needle-shaped protrusion on the electrode. The measuring interpretation of the external current induced by moving charges is described. The temporal growth of prebreakdown is observed by using a shunt and photomultiplier. The prebreakdown processes are initiated by the first streamer corona at a needle protrusion, the flashover of the main gap in the positive polarity is very sensitive to the local field and propagates into the gap with the leader mechanism. It Is found that the dependence of the prebreakdown phenomena on the polarity of applied voltages is caused by the effect of space charges. In addition, the proposed measuring techniques are very useful to perform the measurements of avalanche currents, corona discharges in inhomogeneous fields and partial discharges in voids.

We have investigated the hysteresis phenomenon of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) and analyzed the effect of hysteresis phenomenon when a-Si:H TFT is a pixel element of active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). When a-Si:H TFT is addressed to different starting gate voltages, such as 10V and 5V, the measured transfer characteristics with 1uA at $V_{DS}$ = 10V shows that the gate voltage shift of 0.15V is occurred due to the different quantities of trapped charge. When the step gate-voltage in the transfer curve is decreased from 0.5V to 0.05V, the gate-voltage shift is decreased from 0.78V to 0.39V due to the change of charge do-trapping rate. The measured OLED current in the widely used 2-TFT pixel show that a gate-voltage of TFT in the previous frame can influence OLED current in the present frame by 35% due to the change of interface trap density induced by different starting gate voltages.
