The measuring point data of clay model are widely used to design parts whose external features are important design factor such as automobiles and general die products. This paper presents a method for improving the process to generate smooth surfaces from the measuring point data using turnkey CAD/CAM system. The process of smooth-surface generation involves several steps: styline finding, curve fairing, surface generation and filleting. The process is improved by automatic curve fairing, local correction of surface and multi-boundary surface treatment. An automobile bumper and a telephone receiver are measured and modeled to test the new method. Significant time saving is resulted by changing interactive mode to automatic mode and eliminating inefficient loop of surface generation process.

A new circuit, modified valley fill (MVF) combined with resonant inductor of the self-excited resonant inverter and charge pump capacitors(CPCs), is presented to achieve high PF electronic ballast providing sufficient preheat current to lamp filaments for soft start maintaining low DC bus voltage. The MVF can adjust the valley voltage higher than half the peak line voltage. The CPCs draw the current from the input line to make up the current waveform during the valley interval. The measured PF and THD are 0.99 and 12%, respectively. The lamp current CF is also acceptable in the proposed circuit. The proposed circuit is suitable for implementing cost-effective electronic ballast.

In this paper, it is assumed that a mobile radio channel is a Rayleigh distributed multipath fading channel and Erlang capacity and equivalent channel numbers are calculated for the reverse link of a imperfect power controlled DS/CDMA cellular system considering both shadowing and multipath fading. The DS/CDMA blocking probability is calculated based on a new analysis method that considers Erlang capacity and ICF(interference correction factor) using the median value of $E_{b(i)}$/ $I_{o}$ corresponding to each reverse link user. It is showed that the effect of multipath fading must not be ignored in Erlang capacity of the IS-95 DS/CDMA cellular system and the Erlang capacity is decreased according to the increase of the deviation of the imperfect power control, to the decrease of the processing gain, to the increase of the voice activity.y.

A developing post-dryout region is characterized by significant heat transfer enhancements compared with the fully developed post-dryout region. The heat transfer enhancements are mainly due to upstream disturbance and entrained droplets in the region immediately downstream of the critical heat flux location. In this paper, an improved heat transfer correlation is developed for the developing post-dryout regions in vertical tubes over a wide range of flow conditions. The correlation represents a correction factor for the fully developed film-boiling look-up table to be applied to the developing post-dryout region. The new correlation significantly improves the heat transfer prediction in the developing post-dryout regions and provides very good agreement with the experimental data.

This study is on the development of a low cost inverter module with Power Factor Correction(PFC) circuit which satisfies the international harmonic current standard such as IEC61000-3-2. In this study, the performances of the PFC circuit applying a new control method are simulated and verified by Matlab/Simulink. Also, the inverter module with the designed PFC circuit is implemented and the experimental results for the module are presented. Finally, through an analysis for the results of the simulation and the experiment, the merits obtainable by applying the PFC circuit when designing an inverter module are discussed and presented.

A new technique for improving the efficiency of single-phase high-frequency boost converter is proposed. This converter includes an additional low-frequency boost converter which is connected to the main high-frequency switching device in parallel. The additional converter is controlled at lower frequency. Most of the current flows in the low-frequency switch and so, high-frequency switching loss is greatly reduced accordingly Both switching device are controlled by a simple method; each controller consists of a one-shot multivibrator, a comparator and an AND gate. The converter works cooperatively in high efficiency and acts as if it were a conventional high-frequency boost converter with one switching device. The proposed method is verified by simulation. This paper describes the converter configuration and design, and discusses the steady-state performance concerning the switching loss reduction and efficiency improvement.

A New hyperbolic shear deformation theory is developed for the bending analysis of softcore and hardcore functionally graded sandwich beams. This theory satisfies the equilibrium conditions at the top and bottom faces of the sandwich beam and does not require the shear correction factor. The governing equations are derived from the principle of virtual work. Sandwich beams have functionally graded skins and two types of homogenous core (softcore and hardcore). The material properties of functionally graded skins are graded through the thickness according to the power-law distribution. The Navier solution is used to obtain the closed form solutions for simply supported FGM sandwich beams. The accuracy and effectiveness of proposed theory are verified by comparison with previous research. A detailed numerical study is carried out to examine the influence of the deflections, stresses, and sandwich beam type on the bending responses of functionally graded sandwich beams.

A novel mode of parallel operation of a modular 3-phase AC-DC flyback converter for power factor correction along with tight regulation was recently analyzed and presented. The advantage of the proposed converter does not require expensive high voltage and high current devices that are normally needed in popular boost type 3-phase converter. In this paper the detailed small signal analysis of the modular 3-phase AC-DC flyback converter is provided for control purposes and also experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analysis.
