In this paper, a calculation method for fin efficiency of continuous fin is introduced. The continuous fin of in-line and staggered arrangement was divided into many sectors and fin efficiencies of each sectors were calculated by assuming that each sectors be the circular fins. To get the converged fin efficiency which is averaged by the each areas, the number of sectors was increased. The results were compared with equivalnet method by varying the aspect ratios in both cases of in-line and staggered tube arrangement and showed some differences of fin efficiencies.

A shielded magnetoresistive (SMR) head which has double MR films and linearizes each other has been designed and studied by applying the transmission-line model. We have analyzed the yoke efficiency, bias efficiency and read efficiency of the SMR head. The read efficiency strongly depends on the height of the sensor and slightly on the other geometric parameters. The yoke and bias efficiencies vary with gap length, insulated layer thickness and relative permeability. A quasi-index reduction in the signal flux is observed when the displacement moves away from the medium.

In this paper, a new λ/4 bias transmission line that is added dumbbell-shaped defected ground structure(DGS) on ground plane of the conventional λ/4 bias transmission line is proposed. This DGS λ/4 bias transmission line maintains high characteristic impedance, but physical width is wider and length is shorter than that of the conventional bias line. If the proposed bias line is attached on signal transmission line, this bias line can reduces the $3^{rd}$ harmonic signal as well as the$2^{nd}$ harmonic signal. With harmonic reduction characteristics, efficiency and linearity of amplifier are improved. The proposed bias line is adopted in power amplifier on IMT-2000 base-station transmitting band. This paper presents several simulations and experimental results of DGS to show validity of the proposed power amplifier using the new λ/4 bias transmission line. Experimental results represent that the $3^{rd}$ harmonic signal is reduced about 26.5 dB and efficiency is improved about 9.1 % and IMD3 is improved 4.5 dB than the conventional structure.

The optical and electrical characteristics of plasma display panel(PDP) using the vacuum in-line sealing technology compared with the conventional sealing process in this research. This PDP consisted of MgO protecting layer by e-beam evaporation and battier rib, transparent dielectric layer, dielectric layer, and electrodes by screen printer and then sealed off on Ne-Xe(4 ％) 400 Torr and 430。C. The brightness and luminous efficiency were good as the base vacuum level was higher, and it was to check the advantage of high vacuum level sealing, one of the strong points of the vacuum in-line sealing process. However, the brightness and luminous efficiency was dropped sharply because of a crack on MgO protecting layer by the difference of the expansion and contraction stress on high temperature in the vacuum states between MgO and substrate. Fortunately, the crack was prevented by MgO was deposited on higher temperature than 300。C. Finally, the PDP, was fabricated by the vacuum in-line sealing process, resulted the lower brightness than processing only the thermal annealing treatment in the vacuum chamber, but the luminous efficiency was increased by the reducing power consumption with the decreasing luminous current. The vacuum in-line sealing technology was not to need the additional thermal annealing process and could reduce the fabrication process and bring the excellent optical and electrical properties without the crack of MgO protecting layer than the conventional sealing process.

Finding line segments in an intensity image has been one of the most fundamental issues in computer vision. In complex scenes, it is hard to detect the locations of point features. Line features are more robust in providing greater positional accuracy. In this paper we present a robust "line features extraction" algorithm which extracts line feature in a single pass without using any assumptions and constraints. Our algorithm consists of five steps: (1) edge scanning, (2) edge normalization, (3) line-blob extraction, (4) line-feature computation, and (5) line linking. By using edge scanning, the computational complexity due to too many edge pixels is drastically reduced. Edge normalization improves the local quantization error induced from the gradient space partitioning and minimizes perturbations on edge orientation. We also analyze the effects of edge processing, and the least squares-based method and the principal axis-based method on the computation of line orientation. We show its efficiency with some real images.al images.

In order to keep production balance at a mixed-model assembly line and a painting line, large WIP(Work- In-Process) inventories are required between two lines. To increase the efficiency of line handling through reducing the inventories under this circumstance, this paper concerns with a sequencing problem for a mixed-model assembly line that includes a painting line where the uncertain elements regarding the defective products exist. Then, we formulate a new type of the sequencing problem minimizing the line stoppage time and the idle time with forecasting the supply time of the products from the painting line. Finally, we examine the effectiveness of the proposed sequencing through computer simulations.

This paper presents a fuzzy logical control method to implement an on-line optimum efficiency control for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. This method real-timely adjusts the output voltage of the inverter system to achieve the optimum running efficiency of the whole system. At first, the input power is calculated during the steady state in the process of efficiency optimizing. To exactly estimate the steady state of the system, this section needs check up the speed setting on timely. The second section is to calculate input power of dc-bus. The exact measurement of the voltage and current is the vital point to acquire the input power. The third section is the fuzzy logic control unit, which is the key of the whole drive system. Based on the change of input power of dc-bus and output voltage, the variable of output voltage is gained by the fuzzy logical unit. With the on-line optimizing. the whole system call fulfill the minimum input power of dc-bus on the running state. The experimental result proves that the system applied the adjustable V/f control method and the efficiency-optimizing unit possesses optimum efficiency, and it is a better choice for simple variable speed applications such as fans and pump.

Even if an expert who has majored energy engineering, it is a difficult concept to understand power output optimization and power efficiency optimization. In this study a diagram applying thermodynamic state value as specific exergy and exergy ratio was developed. Although general peoples who did not major energy engineering can be easily understand the concept of power output optimization and power efficiency through the developed diagram. A represented property that can identify the performance of power plant is the main steam temperature and pressure. At the developed diagram the maximum power output line and maximum power efficiency line are shown according to the temperature and pressure of main steam. Therefore we can identify how much a power plant approach to maximum power output and maximum power efficiency.

We have examined the electrical and optical characteristics of the plasma display panel(PDP) produced by vacuum in-line sealing technology. We found that the luminous efficiency was decreased as the base vacuum level was increased. For the base vacuum level of $1\times10^{-3}$ Torr, the firing voltage was 235V at the discharge gas pressure of 400 Torr and the luminous efficiency was 0.8 lm/W at 180V sustaining pulse. However, for the base vacuum level of $1\times10^{-6}$ Torr, the firing voltage was reduced to 215V and the luminous efficiency was improved to 2.5lm/w. Finally, we demonstrated successfully the operation of tip-less PDP fabricated using vacuum in-line sealing method.
