Maximizing the efficiency of blasting operations is crucial for reducing project costs, shortening timelines, and minimizing environmental impacts-key factors for the success of large-scale marine reclamation projects. This study explores the application of pocket-charging methods, developed from mining principles, to enhance rock fragmentation efficiency in large-scale blasts. The aim is to optimize the material production process for marine reclamation construction. The pocket-charging technique efficiently disperses blasting energy, increasing the extent of rock fragmentation and thereby improving overall blasting performance. Even with minimal explosive quantities, optimal results and cost-efficient, expedited construction can be achieved. This research validates the effectiveness of pocket-charge blasting through blast simulation programs and outlines suitable blasting designs and strategies.

The wireless charging of body-embedded medical instruments and wireless power transfer to various inside dielectric-materials is still a future technology that has not yet been achieved. This paper proposes methods for controlling the capacitance of the resonators and installing air pockets on the top and bottom sides of the resonators for optimal design, which considered efficiency and resonant frequency in accordance with the electromagnetic characteristics of the dielectric medium. In future, the results of this research will be utilized as the basic research data to design and restore resonant frequency of resonators embedded in various dielectric environments.
