The conventional types of X-ray generators were bulky in physical size and heavy in weight and the control accuracies of the output voltages were not always satisfacotry. The high frequency switching inverter and converter technology on power conversion and control systems have been greatly closed up introducing power semiconducot devices. To decreasing the volume and the weight of high voltage transformer and to stabilize ripple. In this paper the newly developed x-ray generator in a low cost using duty modulation PWM inverter. This system verify improved performance by stabilize ripple of X-ray tube voltage and compared the reproducibility linearity and dose in single phase three phase and PSU.

This paper presents a single-stage ZVT full-bridge AC/DC converter for aerospace applications. The detailed operating principle and design consideration of this soft-switched converter are analyzed and described. The proposed circuit topology and control scheme are proposed to exhibit optimum performances (i.e. high power factor, high efficiency, ring-free and low EMI features). A laboratory prototype, 500W 5V/100A AC/DC converter was implemented. The simulation and experimental waveforms verify the feasibility of the proposed design.

Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is widely used circuit component in high-performance microprocessors and modern communication systems as a frequency source. In present work, VCO designs using the different combination of NAND gates with three transistors and CMOS inverter are reported. Three, five and seven stages ring VCO circuits are designed. Coarse and fine tuning have been done using two different supply sources. The frequency with coarse tuning varies from 3.31 GHz to 5.60 GHz in three stages, 1.77 GHz to 3.26 GHz in five stages and 1.27 GHz to 2.32 GHz in seven stages VCO respectively. Moreover, for fine tuning frequency varies from 3.70 GHz to 3.94 GHz in three stages, 2.04 GHz to 2.18 GHz in five stages and 1.43 GHz to 1.58 GHz in seven stages VCO respectively. Results of power consumption and phase noise for the VCO circuits are also been reported. Results of proposed VCO circuits have been compared with previously reported circuits and present circuit approach show significant improvement.

An unsteady three-dimensional simulation based on Reynolds time-averaged governing equation and RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, was presented for pump-as-turbine, the pressure fluctuation characteristic of hydraulic turbine with guide vane was obtained. The results show that the time domains of pressure fluctuation in volute change periodically and have identical cycles. In volute tongue and inlet pressure fluctuations are light, while in dynamic and static coupling interface pressure fluctuations are serious; In impeller blade region the pressure fluctuation of pressure surface are lighter than that of suction surface. The dominant frequencies of pressure fluctuation concentrate in low frequency region, and concentrate within 2 times of the blade passing frequency.

Electrolytic capacitors used for smoothing DC link voltage is one of the major root causes of fault in power electronic system. The aging of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is expressed by the increase of their equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the reduction of their capacitance. Thus, the proposed technique in this paper is to measure capacitance, by comparing energy loss of DC link capacitors with stator resistor in electric machine. Condition of DC link capacitors can be estimated from the capacitance decrease rate between initial and aged capacitors. The results show that the proposed technique provides an easy, widely applicable and simple low cost solution for detecting dc link capacitor degradation.

This paper proposes a new design of shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuated gripper for open mode operation. SMA can generate smooth muscle movements during actuation which make them potentially good contenders in designing grippers. The principle of the shape memory alloy gripper is to convert the linear displacement of the SMA wire actuator into the angular displacement of the gripping jaw. Steady state analysis is performed to design the wire diameter of the bias spring for a known SMA wire. The gripper is designed to open about an angle of $22.5^{\circ}$ when actuated using pulsating electric current from a constant current source. The safe operating power range of the gripper is determined and verified theoretically. Experimental evaluation for the uncontrolled gripper showed a rotation of $19.97^{\circ}$. Forced cooling techniques were employed to speed up the cooling process. The gripper is simple and robust in design (single movable jaw), easy to fabricate, low cost, and exhibits wide handling capabilities like longer object handling time and handling wide sizes of objects with minimum utilization of power since power is required only to grasp and release operations.

The wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes are required to operate for several months with the limited system resource such as memory and power. The hardware platform of WSN has 128Kbyte program memory and 8Kbytes data memory. Also, WSN node is required to operate for several months with the two AA size batteries. The MAC, Network protocol, and small application must be operated in this WSN platform. We look around the problem of memory and power for WSN requirements. Then, we propose a new computing model of system software for WSN node. It is the Atomic Object Model (AOM) with Dual Priority Scheduling. For the verification of model, we design and implement IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol with the proposed model.

Noise generation systems are used to generate noise signals with specified characteristics. In recent study, DCT-based noise generation system outperforms the conventional noise generation system when a noise model requires complicated PSD(Power Spectral Density) specifications. In this paper, we propose the area-efficient noise generation system based on DCT method. It is shown that the proposed system results in area reduction by 61~64% except DCT block. Furthermore, it achieves power reduction by 41~56%.

The concept is based on distributed wireless sensors that are attached to the incoming and outgoing power lines of secondary substations. A sensor measures only phase current characteristics of the wire it is attached to, is not synchronized to other sensors and does not need configuration of triggering levels. The main novelty of the concept is in detecting and locating faults by combining power distribution network characteristics on system level with low power sampling methods for individual sensors. This concept enables the sensor design to be simple, energy efficient and thus applicable in new installations and for retrofit purposes in both overhead and underground electrical distribution systems.
