We propose a novel negative differential resistance (NDR) device with ultra-high peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) by combining pn junction diode with depletion mode nanowire (NW) transistor, which suppress the valley current with transistor off-leakage level. Band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) Esaki diode with degenerately doped pn junction can provide multiple switching behavior having multi-peak and valley currents. These multiple NDR characteristics can be controlled by doping concentration of tunnel diode and threshold voltage of NW transistor. By designing our NDR device, PVCR can be over $10^4$ at low operation voltage of 0.5 V in a single peak and valley current.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the knee and ankle joint kinematics and kinetics by comparing downhill walking with valley-shape combined slope walking. Method: Eighteen healthy men participated in this study. A three-dimensional motion capture system equipped with eight infrared cameras and a synchronized force plate, which was embedded in the sloped walkway, was used. Obtained kinematic and kinetic parameters were compared using paired two-tailed Student's t-tests at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The knee flexion angle after the mid-stance phase, the mean peak knee flexion angle in the early swing phase, and the ankle mean peak dorsiflexion angle were greater during downhill walking compared with valley-shape combined slope walking (p < 0.001). Both the mean peak vertical ground reaction force (GRF) in the early stance phase and late stance phase during downhill walking were smaller than those values during valley-shape combined slope walking. (p = 0.007 and p < 0.001, respectively). The mean peak anterior GRF, appearing right after toe-off during downhill walking, was also smaller than that of valley-shape combined slope walking (p = 0.002). The mean peak knee extension moment and ankle plantar flexion moment in late stance phase during downhill walking were significantly smaller than those of valley-shape combined slope walking (p = 0.002 and p = 0.015, respectively). Conclusion: These results suggest that gait strategy was modified during valley-shape combined slope walking when compared with continuous downhill walking in order to gain the propulsion for lifting the body up the incline for foot clearance.

A new PF correction topology, Improved Valley Fill (IVF) with Valley Boost Converter (VBC) used in the electronic ballast for fluorescent lamp is presented. The IVF can adjust the valley voltage higher than half the peak line voltage. Hence, there is no pulsating line current around the line voltage peak, PF and THD are significantly improved. The VBC is added to the IVF to achieve unity PF and to increase the valley voltage. The measured PF and THD for a prototype electronic ballast are 0.997 and 5%, respectively, and the lamp current CF is as low as 1.5

This study is focused on the root mean square and peak-to-valley based on the injection conditions of the f-theta lens, one of the main components of laser printers and laser scanning systems. The f-theta lens of an aspherical plastic lens requires ultra-preaction. Injection molding is typically used for the mass production of aspherical plastic lenses. In the injection-molding method, the resin in the lens shape is filled with the resin after melting the plastic pellets at a constant temperature and then cooled. It is necessary to maintain a uniform injection molding system to produce high-quality lenses. These injection-molding systems are influenced by different factors, such as pressure, speed, temperature, mold, and cooling. It is possible to obtain a lens that exhibits the optical characteristics required to achieve harmony. We investigated the root mean square and peak-to-valley caused by variations in temperature, a critical parameter in the melting and cooling of plastic resins generated inside and outside the injection mold.

대기압 MOCVD방법으로 이중 장벽 구조의 공명 투과 소자를 제작하여 상온과 77K에서의 부저항 특성을 특정하였다.

For passive power factor correction, the valley fill circuit approach is attractive for low power applications because of low cost, high efficiency, and simple circuit design. However, to vouch for the product quality, two dc-link capacitors in the valley fill circuit should be selected to withstand the peak rectified ac input voltage. The common mode (CM) and differential mode (DM) choke should be used to suppress the electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, thereby resulting in large size volume product. This paper presents the practical design and implementation of a valley fill flyback converter with reduced dc link capacitors and EMI magnetic volumes. By using the proposed over voltage protection circuit, dc-link capacitors in the valley fill circuit can be selected to withstand half the peak rectified ac input voltage, and the proposed CM/DM choke can be successfully adopted. The proposed circuit effectiveness is shown by simulation and experimentally verified by a 78W prototype.

The theoretical analysis for AlInAs/GaInAs resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs), which have shown the improved negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristics, has scarcely been made in comparison with AlGaAS/GaAs RTDs. In this paper, the static current-voltage relation of Al$_{0.48}In_{0.52}As/Ga_{0.47}In_{0.53}$As RTDs were numerically estimated by using a self-consistent method. Assuming a simplified RTD with single quantum well structure and spacer layers, the peak current density (J$_{P}$) and the peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) were analysed as the function of the thickness of the well, the barrier and the spacer layer, and temperature. As the results, the peak current density and the peak-to-valley current ratio indicated a reciprocal relation roughly in respect to the thicknesses of the well and the barrier, and it was theoretically predicted that it be not attainable to provide a high peak current desity (J$_{P}$) over 1${\times}10^{5}A/cm^{2}$ as well as the large peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) over 10 that were the the critical conditions for the practical use.

GaAs/AlAs 이중장벽 구조를 MBE(Molecular Beam Epitaxy)법으로 성장하여, mesa diode를 제작하고 전류전압 특성을 측정하였다. 계면은 평탄한 이중장벽 구조로 성장 되었음이 확인되었으며, 실온에서 장벽의 두께가 변화함에 따라 PVCR(Peak to Valley Current Ratio)의 값은 크게 변하지 않았다. 이는 장벽의 두께가 증가함에 따라 nonresonant tunneling에 의한 valley current가 크게 증가함에 기인한다.

Background: In situ gamma spectrometry has been used to measure environmental radiation, assumptions are usually made about the depth distribution of the radionuclides of interest in the soil. The main limitation of in situ gamma spectrometry lies in determining the depth distribution of radionuclides. The objective of this study is to develop a method for subsurface characterization by in situ measurement. Materials and Methods: The peak to valley method based on the ratio of counting rate between the photoelectric peak and Compton region was applied to identify the depth distribution. The peak to valley method could be applied to establish the relation between the spectrally derived coefficients (Q) with relaxation mass per unit area (${\beta}$) for various depth distribution in soil. The in situ measurement results were verified by MCNP simulation and calculated correlation equation. In order to compare the depth distributions and contamination levels in decommissioning KRR site, in situ measurement and sampling results were compared. Results and Discussion: The in situ measurement results and MCNP simulation results show a good correlation for laboratory measurement. The simulation relationship between Q and source burial for the source layers have exponential relationship for a variety depth distributions. We applied the peak to valley method to contaminated decommissioning KRR site to determine a depth distribution and initial activity without sampling. The observed results has a good correlation, relative error between in situ measurement with sampling result is around 7% for depth distribution and 4% for initial activity. Conclusion: In this study, the vertical activity distribution and initial activity of $^{137}Cs$ could be identifying directly through in situ measurement. Therefore, the peak to valley method demonstrated good potential for assessment of the residual radioactivity for site remediation in decommissioning and contaminated site.
