We reviewed our entire experience of 44 consecutive patients undergoing the arterial switch operation [ASO] for transposition of the great arteries [TGA] since March 1985.There were 28 patients with simple TGA[group I] and 16 with associated ventricular septal defect[VSD] [Group II] There were five hospital deaths[11.4%, 5/44], two related to single right coronary artery anatomy. There have been no late deaths. For group I hospital mortality was 14.3%[4/28], and for group II this was 6.25%[1/16]. Mean follow-up was 3.3 years[range 1 month to 8 years] and was completed for all patients. Actuarial survival at 7 years for hospital survivors was 85 $\pm$ 3.2 % in group I and 94 $\pm$ 3.5% in groupII. One patient has mild asymptomatic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and five patients [12.8 %,5/ 39] have right ventricular outflow tract gradients[RVOTO] exceeding 25 mmHg; only one patient has required reoperation for RVOTO. Mild neoaortic regurgitation is present in one patient. All survivors are currently in NYHA class I without medicalion, and all are in sinus rhythm. The ASO is associated with low operative risk and excellent medium-term outcome in most subsets of patients undergoing this operation. With more experience, improved results can be expected also in those patients currently at higher risk.

A switch box is metal box for electric wire pipes in building. In manufacturing this box, the first press is used to mold and the second to fifth presses are used to process four-sides of a box. So four presses, four molds and four workers are needed. This leads to raise the manufacturing cost including machine lease rent, molding fee, and wages. To make matters worse, the roaring sound, vibration, and dangers of safety accidents make employees avoid from working that job. To solve this problem, a new Handling Mechanism and a cam die which combined four-die-involving processes into one die process were developed. That results job automation of the Job with one press and one die. The job avoidance problem is solved and manufacturing cost is reduced as well.

An analog CMOS vision chip for edge detection with power consumption below 20mW was designed by adopting electronic switches. An electronic switch separates the edge detection circuit into two parts; one is a logarithmic compression photocircuit, the other is a signal processing circuit for edge detection. The electronic switch controls the connection between the two circuits. When the electronic switch is OFF, it can intercept the current flow through the signal processing circuit and restrict the magnitude of the current flow below several hundred nA. The estimated power consumption of the chip, with $128{\times}128$ pixels, was below 20mW. The vision chip was designed using $0.25{\mu}m$ 1-poly 5-metal standard full custom CMOS process technology.

The flyback converter has been applied widely in isolated DC/DC power converters because this converters employ a single MOSFET switch. The leakage inductance should be minimized for high efficiency of flyback converter. but in reality, it is very difficult. Namely, The Snubber circuit is essential to recover the leakage inductance stored energy when the switch is turn off. Flyback Converter typically operates in DCM mode and when switch is turn off in hard switching, this hard switching action results in a high power losses and switching stresses. In order to overcome these problems, a novel soft switching flyback converter using resonant snubber circuit is proposed in this paper. The resonant snubber circuit is composed of the transformer leakage inductance and a capacitor. To verify and confirm the proposed resonant snubber circuit, PSIM simulation and hardware prototype are implemented. Simulation and Experimental results indicate that the proposed resonant snubber circuit is effective.

The triggered vacuum switch (TVS) is widely used as a high power switch in the field of pulsed power application. TVS can produce current of higher than 100 kA within a microsecond after being triggered. A triggering high voltage pulse generator supplies a high voltage signal to the trigger system to initiate the discharge between a trigger pin and one of main electrode. The trigger system, which consists of a tungsten trigger electrode and cylindrical ceramic insulator around it, is normally installed at the center of main cathode electrode. The discharging characteristics of the trigger system strongly depend on the geometry, electrode material, vacuum pressure and so on. In addition, we especially will focus on the developing a triggering pulse generator, which can vary not only value of voltage but also pulse duration, because its properties gives pivot influences on the TVS discharge. To verify such effects, we made a 3.3 kJ TVS set-up initially. Thus we will discuss some of prominent results from 3.3 kJ TVS system. In parallel we will show on the design of 300 kJ TVS system for the high current in the future.

Compliant bi-stable mechanism allows two stable states within its operation range staying at one of the local minimum states of the potential energy. Energy storage characteristics of the bi-stable mechanism offer two distinct and repeatable stable states, which require no power input to maintain it at each stable state. This paper suggests an equivalent model of the chevron-type bi-stable microactuator using the equivalent spring stiffness in the rectilinear and the rotational directions. From this model the range of spring stiffness where the bi-stable mechanism can be operated is analyzed and compared with the results of the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) using ANSYS for the buckling analysis, both of which show a good agreement. Based on the analysis, a newly designed chevron-type bi-stable MEMS actuator using hinges is suggested for the latch-up operation. It is found that the experimental response characteristics of around 36V for the bi-stable actuation for the 60$mu extrm{m}$ stroke correspond very well to the results of the equivalent model analysis after the change in cross-sectional area by the fabrication process is taken into account. Together with the resonance frequency experiment where 1760Hz is measured, it is shown that the chevron-type bi-stable MEMS actuator using hinges is applicable to the optical switch as an actuator.

Warning control is one of the most important components in driver's cabin for achieving safe driving. The purpose of this study is to suggest ergonomically optimal location and type of passenger car's warning control. An experiment was conducted using driving simulator, in which nine locations and two types of warning controls -push button, rocker switch- were employed as experimental variables, and response time for warning signal and preference for locations and types of warning controls were measured as dependent variables. The results showed that response time for warning signal was the shortest when warning control was located at the middle left corner of the center fascia, and was the second at the middle center of the center fascia. Preference for warning signal was the highest at the middle left comer of the center fascia, and was the second between the steering wheel column and the center fascia. Although push button was not preferred to rocker switch, response time was shorter for push button than for rocker switch. It was suggested from these results that warning control with the type of push button should he located at among the middle left corner of the center fascia, the middle center of the center fascia, and between the steering wheel column and the center fascia.

A new high-performance and low cost single switch energy recovery display driver for an AC plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. Since it is composed of only one auxiliary power switch, two small inductors, and eight diodes compared with the conventional circuit consisting of four auxiliary power switches, two small inductors, eight power diodes, and two external capacitors, it features a much simpler structure and lower cost. Nevertheless, since the rootmean-square (RMS) value of the inductor current is very small, it also has very desirable advantages such as n low conduction loss and high efficiency. Furthermore, there are no serious voltage-drops caused by the large gas-discharge current with the aid of the discharge current compensation, which can also greatly reduce the current flowing through power switches and maintain the panel to light at n lower sustaining voltage. In addition, all main power switches are turned on under the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and thus, the proposed circuit has a improved EMI, increased reliability, and high efficiency. Therefore, the proposed circuit will be well suited to the wall hanging PDP TV. To confirm the validity of the proposed circuit, circuit operations, features,and design considerations are presented and verified experimentally on a 6-inch PDP, 50kHz-switching frequency, and sustaining voltage 141V based prototype.
