As a drive for an ETC (Electro-thermal Chemical) launcher, a large pulse power system of a 2.4MJ energy storage was designed, constructed and tested. The overall power system consists of eight capacitive 300kJ energy storage banks. In this paper we describe the design features, setup and operation test result of the 300kJ pulsed power module. Each capacitor bank of the 300kJ module consists of six 22kV 50kJ capacitors. A triggered vacuum switch (TVS-43) was adopted as the main pulse switch. Crowbar diode circuits, variable multi-tap inductors and energy dumping systems are connected to each high power capacitor bank via bus-bars and coaxial cables. A parallel crowbar diode stack is fabricated in coaxial structure with two series 13.5kV, 60kA avalanche diodes. The main design parameters of the 300kJ module are a maximum current of 180kA and a pulse width of 0.5 - 3ms. The electrical performances of each component and current output variations into resistive loads have been investigated.

A pulsed power supply of 2.4MJ capacitor bank has been developed to make investigation into electric gun technology. It is made up of eight paralleled 300kJ modules, and can supply various shape of high current pulse by changing charging voltage, inductance, capacitance, and firing time of each module. The 300kJ module has been designed and fabricated for the maximum operating voltage of 22kV, peak current of 150kA, and pulse duration of 1msec. The experiments of the modules were done, and the equivalent circuit of the module was determined. The characteristics of the module were analyzed more deeply through the circuit simulation. The experiments of the paralleled modules with inductance of 20 $\mu$H and load resistance of 100 m$\Omega$ were performed, where the modules were discharged simultaneously and/or sequentially. The results of the experiments were analyzed. The 2.4MJ capacitor bank is currently used as the pulsed power supply for the ETCG (Electro Thermal Chemical Gun) research.

In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient method detecting the P300 wave for brain-machine interface. Electrophysiological researches have shown that the P300 wave's potential is decreased when human intention matches visual stimulation. Motivated by this fact, we can infer human intention for brain-machine interface by detecting the P300 wave's potential decrease. The P300 wave is recorded from EEG(electroencephalogram) electrodes attached on human brain skull after giving alphabetical stimulation. To detect the potential decrease in P300, firstly we statistically model the P300 wave's negative potential. Then we infer human intention based on maximum likelihood estimation. The proposed method was evaluated on the data recorded from three healthy human subjects. The method achieved an averaging accuracy of 98% from subject k, 90% from subject j and 79.8% from subject h.

In this paper, a novel 60kV, 300A, 3kHz pulsed power supply based on IGBT stacks is proposed. Proposed scheme consists of series connected 9 power stages to generate maximum 60kV output pulse and 15kW series resonant power inverter to charge DC capacitor voltage. Each power stages are configured as 8 series connected power cells and each power cell generates up to 830VDC, 300A pulses. Finally pulse output voltage is applied using total 72 series connected IGBTs. The synchronization of gating signal is important of series operation of IGBTs. For gating signal synchronization, full bridge inverter and pulse transformer generates on-off signals of IGBT gating and specially designed gate power circuit was used.

Partial penetration welding joint is defined as groove welds welded from one side, without steel backing or groove welds welded from both sides but without back gouging. So it has an unwelded portion at the root of the weld. Study of partial penetration weldment fracture behavior includes residual stress analysis and fracture analysis. The J-integral loses its path independency in residual stress field. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a new J-integral, J, which is defined including the effect of plastic deformation and thermal strain. In this study, theoretical formulation and program were developed for the evaluation of J-integral for the crack tip located in the weldment. Evaluations of fracture behavior were performed for partial penetration multi-pass weldment of 25.4mm thick plate by J-integral. From a point of fracture in partial penetration multi-pass welding, it seemed to be better to control root face smaller than 6.35mm.

In this study, a commercial AZ61 magnesium alloy is extruded at 300 ℃ and 400 ℃ and the microstructures, mechanical properties, and high-cycle fatigue properties of the extruded materials are investigated. Both extruded materials have a fully recrystallized microstructure with no Mg₁₇Al₁₂ precipitates. The average grain size and maximum basal texture intensity of the extruded material increase with increasing extrusion temperature. The material extruded at 400 ℃ (AZ61-400) has higher tensile yield strength and lower compressive yield strength than the material extruded at 300 ℃ (AZ61-300) because of the stronger basal texture of the former. Because of coarser grain size, the tensile elongation of AZ61-400 is lower than that of AZ61-300. Despite the differences in microstructures and tensile/compressive properties, the two extruded materials have the same fatigue strength of 110 MPa. This is because the finer grain size of AZ61-300 causes an increase in fatigue strength, but its weaker texture causes a decrease in fatigue strength. In both extruded materials, fatigue cracks initiate at the surface of fatigue specimens at all stress amplitudes tested.

Cast stainless steel may experience embrittlement when it is exposed approximately to 300$\^{C}$ for a long period. In the present investigation, the three classes of the thermally-aged CF8M specimen were prepared using an artificially-accelerated aging method. After the specimens were held for 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. at 430$\^{C}$, respectively, the specimens were quenched in water which is at room temperature. Load versus load line displacement curves and J-R curves were obtained using the unloading compliance method. talc values were obtained using the ASTM E813-87 and ASTM E 813-81 methods. In addition to these methods, talc values were obtained using the SZW (stretch zone width) method described in JSME S 001-1981. The results of the unloading compliance method are J$\_$Q/=543.9kJ/㎡ for virgin materials. The values of J$\_$IC/ for the degraded materials at 300, 1800 and 3600hrs. are obtained 369.25kJ/㎡, 311.02kJ/㎡, 276.7kJ/㎡, respectively. The results obtained by the SZW method are compared with those obtained by the unloading compliance method. Both results are quite similar. Through the elastic-plastic fracture toughness test, it is found that the value of loc is decreased with an increase of the aging time.

The genetic relationships among six Cordyceps spp. were investigated based on internal transcribed spacer sequences of ribosomal DNA .A portion of the these genes was amplified by PCR. Approximately 590 base pairs were successfully amplified, cloned, sequenced, compared. The nucleotide sequence of the six amplified fragments were aligned by the clustal W program. As a result, Cordyceps militaris shared 87, 96, 98, 90 and 97% sequences homology with Paecilomyces japonica, Paecilomyces sp. J300, Paeciomyces farinosa. Paecilomyces sp.
