This paper reviews the present state of the art on the self-rectifying air turbines, which could be used for wave energy conversion. The overall performances of the turbines under irregular wave conditions, which typically occur in the sea, have been evaluated numerically and compared from the viewpoints of the starting and running characteristics. The types of turbine included in the paper are as follows: (a) Wells turbine with guide vanes (WTGV); (b) turbine with self-pitch-controlled blades (TSCB); (c) biplane Wells turbine with guide vanes (BWGV); (d) impulse turbine with self-pitch-controlled guide vanes (ISGV) and (e) impulse turbine with fixed guide vanes (IFGV). As a result, under irregular wave conditions it is found that the running and starting characteristics of the impulse type turbines could be superior to those of the Wells turbine. Moreover, the authors have explained the mechanism of hysteretic behavior of the Wells turbine and the necessity of links for improvement of the performance of ISGV.

Many organic materials have been synthesized and extended efforts have been made to obtain high performance electroluminescence(EL) devices, since the first report of the light-emitting diodes based on Alq3. BECCP[bis(3-N-ethylcarbazolyl)cyanoterephthalidene] is a new luminescent material having cyano as an electron acceptor part and carbazole moiety as an electron donor part. The BECCP material shows blue PL and EL spectra of the device at about 480nm and in the ITO/BECCP/Al device shows typical rectifying diode characteristics. We have introduced Alq3 between the electrode and BECCP, and obtained more intensive rectifying diode characteristics in forward and reverse bias.

In this paper, we design rectifing circuits at 910MHz, which is used for passive RFID system, for wireless power transmission system by using two types of schottkey diodes HSMS_2822 and HSMS 2852, and the RF-DC conversion efficiencies for the curcuits are compared and analyzed in terms of input power and load resistance. When the input power is -20 to 17dBm, the conversion efficiency for HSMS_2852 is larger than in case of HSMS_2822. The output voltage and current at the load of the fabricated rectifying circuit are measured through a dipole antenna when input power is transmitted by a RFID reader and the diatance varies. The measured ouput volatge and current for the distance of 50cm are 2.5V and 5.75mA.

To identify the presence of inwardly rectifying $K^+$ channels and its characteristics, membrane currents were measured using a whole-cell patch clamp from isolated gastric myocytes of guinea-pig. Change of external $K^+$ concentration from 5 to 90 mM induced an inward current at a holding potential of -80 mV. The high $K^+-induced$ inward current was blocked by $Ba^{2+}$ and $Cs^+,$ but not by glibenclamide. With 90 mM $K^+$ in bath, the $Ba^{2+}-$ and $Cs^+-sensitive$ currents showed strong inward rectification. Ten mM TEA weakly blocked the inward current only at potentials more negative than -50 mV. With 90 mM $K^+$ in bath, hyperpolarizing step pulses from -10 mV induced inward currents, which were inactivated at potentials more negative than -70 mV. Reduction of external $K^+$ to 60 mM decreased the amplitudes of the currents and shifted the reversal potential to more negative potential. The inactivation of inward $K^+$ current at negative clamp voltage was not affected by removing external $Na^+.$ These results suggest that the inwardly rectifying $K^+$ channels may exist in gastric smooth muscle.

We have investigated the formation and thermal stability of cobalt aluminide(CoAl) thin films on GaAs. In order to obtain cobalt-aluminide thin films, we deposited a multilayer of Co/Al on GaAs, and subsequently annealed the samples at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. After annealing, single-phase cobalt aluminide was produced showing a flat and uniform interface with GaAs. which indicates that cobalt aluminide (CoAl) is thermally stable with GaAs. In addition, the adherence and mechanical properties of the as-deposited, and annealed Co/Al multilayer structure on GaAs are compatible with those required for device fabrication processes. The electrical property of the CoAl/GaAs contact shows rectifying characteristics, indicating that the diodes were usable as rectifying gate electrodes.

X-ray systems for medical treatment use noninvasive procedures. I fabricated a high tension generator of a full-wave rectification type using a LC resonant inviter. It is said that a full-wave rectifying X-ray equipment such as the fabricated system can shorten initiating period and be precision control because of stable output, compared with the X-ray equipment of a half wave rectifying type used in the usual clinical medicine. In order to evaluate the capability of the fabricated high tension generator, I performed exposure dose characteristics experiments.

Interfacil charge approximations and structures at doped semiconductor interfaces were proposed. Rectifying phenomena at the III-V compound semiconductor (p-GaP, p-InP, n-GaAs)/$CsNO_3$ aqueous electrolyte interfaces were qualitatively analyzed in terms of their cyclic current-voltage characteristics. The current-voltage characteristic curves, the ion adsorption and potential barrier processes at the semiconductor interfaces were verified using continuous cyclic voltammetric methods. The pn or np junction structures and the related rectifying types at the doped semi-condudtor-electrolyte inferfaces are determined by the space charges.

The electrical properties of an inorganic/organic heterojunction has been investigated by spin coating the p-type polymer poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) on an n-type gallium doping zinc oxide (GZO) film. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the fabricated heterojunction diodes have a good rectifying characteristics. The barrier height is calculated 0.8 eV.

A ferredoxin adsorbed hetero self-assembled layer was fabricated on chemically modified Au substrate, 4-Aminothiophenol (4-ATP) was deposited onto Au substrate and then N-succinimidyl-3-[2-pyridyldithio] propionate (SPDP) was adsorbed on the 4-ATP layer, since SPDP was used as a bridging molecule for ferredoxin adsorption, Ferredoxin/SPDP/4-ATP structured hetero layer was constructed because of strong chemical binding of ferredoxin, SPDP, and 4-ATP, The surface of the ferredoxin-adsorbed SPDP/4-ATP layer was observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, The hetero film formation was verified by surface plasmon resonance measurement. The current flow and rectifying property based on the scanning tunneling spectroscopy I-V characteristics was achieved in the proposed hetero layer. Thus, the hetero layer structure of ferredoxin functioned as a molecular diode with rectifying property, The proposed molecular diode can be usefully applied for the development of molecular scale electronic devices.

In this paper, an LLC resonant converter employing two coupled inductors on the secondary side of the converter is proposed. The conventional LLC converter exhibits serious power loss during secondary winding of the transformer because of generation of tremendous output current ripples. To overcome this problem, an LLC resonant converter with a current doubler as a rectifying circuit was recently proposed. However, the current-doubler rectifying circuit requires coupled inductors with a high coupling ratio to retain the designed resonance characteristics. Therefore, an additional hardware filter is required at the output stage to address large output current ripples. Additional design procedures are also necessary because the inductance component of the added filter affects the designed resonant network. To solve this issue, an LLC resonant converter employing two coupled inductors is proposed in this paper. Mathematical analysis shows that the proposed secondary-side current-doubler circuit does not affect the designed resonance characteristics. The operating principles and theoretical analyses are proven through a simulation and experiments with a 54 V/28 A prototype.
