Accurate electroencephalography (EEG) forward calculation is of importance for the accurate estimation of neuronal electrical sources. Conventional studies concerning the EEG forward problems have investigated various factors influencing the forward solution accuracy, e.g. tissue conductivity values in head compartments, anisotropic conductivity distribution of a head model, tessellation patterns of boundary element models, the number of elements used for boundary/finite element method (BEM/FEM), and so on. In the present paper, we investigated the influence of modeling errors in the boundary element volume conductor models upon the accuracy of the EEG forward solutions. From our simulation results, we could confirm that accurate construction of boundary element models is one of the key factors in obtaining accurate EEG forward solutions from BEM. Among three boundaries (scalp, outer skull, and inner skull boundary), the solution errors originated from the modeling error in the scalp boundary were most significant. We found that the nonuniform error distribution on the scalp surface is closely related to the electrode configuration and the error distributions on the outer and inner skull boundaries have statistically meaningful similarity to the curvature distributions of the boundary surfaces. Our simulation results also demonstrated that the accumulation of small modeling errors could lead to considerable errors in the EEG source localization. It is expected that our finding can be a useful reference in generating boundary element head models.

In this paper, resonance frequencies of a reentrant cavity are computed by the mode matching method and the mode orthogonality. The reentrant cavity is composed of a coaxial cable and a cylindrical waveguide, so that resonance frequencies of the resonator can be varied by adjusting the length of the inner conductor of a coaxial cable. The result can be applied to numerous microwave devices such as klystron, wavemeter and resonant circuits of a amplifier and to the measurement of dielectric parameters.

We have analyzed shielding characteristics of the spherical multilayered dielectric, with the assumption that the inner part of the model is filled with the perfect conductor whose radius is varied from 0.2.lambda. to 1.0.lambda. and the outer part of the conducting sphere is covered by a lossy multilayered dielectric. Variation of shielding effects have been examined as the function of parameter of the dielectric layer and the radius of the conducting sphere.

10본의 선재로 각각 구성되는 내층과 외층을 지니는 2층 원��형 도체를 제작하여 그에 대한 교류손실을 측정하기 위하여, 각 층에 전압리드(inner-lead, outer-lead)들을 부착하였으며, 이로부터 픽업된 층 전압과 층 전류로부터 각 층의 손실을 평가하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면, 외층 전류가 내층의 1/2임에도 불구하고 내 외층의 손실은 거의 일치하였다. 또한 내 외층의 전류가 일치한 경우에도 외층 손실은 내층보다 대단히 크다. 이들 결과는 외층은 내층 전류로부터 발생되는 외부 자장하에 있어 외층의 자장이 증가된 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper a low signal reduction communication system that does not use the communication line but power line is presented It will be very useful for an information-oriented society with tele-metering and home automation. The conventional system has a difficulty in transmitting information due to decreasing communication voltage. The proposed system employs a special type switching amplifier system which has a low inner resistance and uses high efficient ferrite core in coupling circuit. This new system is proposed to reduce the loss of conductor load and coupling circuit in a PLC system.

Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCLs) provide one of the most effective solutions to cope with enormous increase of fault current level. The 13.2 kV/ 630 A class resistive SFCL using coated conductor (CC) was developed and its short-circuit test was successful. Successful commercialization of the SFCL requires that no loss is produced by impedance of limiting coil during normal operation. Since the limiting coil consists of inner layer and outer layer, gap length between the layers is an important parameter to analyze the electromagnetic characteristics of coil. This paper deals with the electromagnetic characteristics of coil according to gap length through the simulation and analysis in comparison with experiment results.

The characteristics of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) in He discharge are measured with electrical and optical diagnostics methods. The discharge phenomenon in one cycle of the APPJ was diagnosed using intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) imaging. The gate mode images show that the propagation of plasma bullets happens only when the applied voltage on the inner conductor is positive. Moreover, the Schlieren image of the plasma jet shows that the laminar flow is changed into a turbulent flow when the plasma jet is turned on, especially when the gas flow rate increases.

In 6.6kV Rotary Machine Stator Windings, Corona Discharge, Discharge at Conductor Surface, Slot Discharge and Endwinding Discharge is happended by electronic degradation. Also, if Partial Discharge cause in inner-part of Rotary Machine Stator Windings, it will be happended voltage and current pulse. In case of discharge spark, RF electromagnetic wave, which transmits at discharge position, can happen. To detect this kind of RF electromagnetic wave efficiently, we have designed Planar Antenna Sensor with the CST MWS simulation program. Also we have confined the application possibility, which can analyzes the partial discharge in Rotary Machine Stator Windings. In the Future, sample of planar antenna sensor will be able to compare with the data of simulation by CST MWS program.

We present a simple analytical expression of plasma density by making use of the electron density equation to study the dynamic behavior of the corona discharge plasma. It assumes that a specified voltage profile is fed through the inner conductor of the reactor chamber consisting of two coaxial conducting cylinders. The analytical description is based on the electron continuity equation with ionization and attachment by electrons. It is found that the electron density profile calculated between two coaxial cylindrical electrodes depends very sensitively on the Profile of applied voltage. The analytical expression of plasma density and its generation will provide important scaling laws in the corona discharge plasma.

Dispersion characteristics of shielded single, coupled and edge-offset microstrip structures are investigated by using hybrid mode analysis with Galerkin's method in the spectral domain. Two new basis functions for the longitudinal strip current are proposed and convergence rates of the solutions for the basis functions are compared. Current distribution of the coupled line is obtaind from that of the single line by using shift theorem of the Fourier transform. In addition, effects of off-centered inner strip conductor on dispersion are also discussed Numerical results include various structual parameters and are compared with other available data and good agreements are observed.
