This paper presents the comprehensive transformer design methodology with the winding method of automatic type suitable for LLC resonant converter. The problem with conventional LLC resonant transformer is that it is difficult to implement the winding method of automatic type because all windings are wound in one bobbin. Therefore, the LLC resonant transformer, which is capable of the winding method of automatic type to multiple section bobbin without insulation tape and barrier tape, is proposed in this paper and the design procedure of the proposed LLC resonant transformer is also shown. Modeling and analysis of the proposed LLC resonant transformer using Maxwell 3D simulation tool are described in detail and a protype 150W LLC resonant converter using the proposed LLC resonant transformer manufactured by 3D modelling is also verified through the experimental test.

This paper describes a 3-Phase Quasi-Resonant DC Link Inverter (3-phase QRI), which has two operating modes, ie. inverting mode and rectifying mode. First the 3-Phase QRI is simplified and the resonant circuit is analyzed in comparison with two resonant DC-to-DC converters. This analysis shows that the maximum voltage of resonant capacitor is limited to twice the input voltage irrespective of operating modes. A new simple control method in rectifying mode is suggested, which does not require any other element in power circuit. The characteristic of 3-Phase Quasi Resonant Inverter has been verified by simulation using the proposed control method.

The current study aimed to establish rationales for using three different voice therapies (resonant voice, accent method, and tongue-tip trills) by comparing the aerodynamic, and vocal fold closure characteristics under three therapies. A total of 8 male under/graduate students(tenors) participated as subjects. In order to compare aerodynamic characteristics, air flow rates and subglottal pressures were measured using Phonatory function analyzer under three therapy conditions. The characteristics of vocal fold closure patterns also were examined by comparing closed quotients(CQ) measured by Electroglottograph(EGG) under three therapy conditions. However, maximum phonation time (MPT) was measured under only resonant voice and tongue-tip trills using Aerophone II. The results are summarized as follows : 1) CQ, subglottal pressure and MPT decreased significantly under resonant voice as compared with throat voice, but the air flow rate increased significantly under resonant voice. 2) CQ decreased significantly under accent method as compared with throat voice, but both air flow rate and subglottal pressure increased significantly under accent method. 3) Both CQ and MPT decreased significantly under tongue tip trills as compared with throat voice, but air flow rate and subglottal pressure increased significantly under tongue-tip trills. Clinical implications of results were discussed in light of differential effects of three voice therapies.

Viscoelastic materials have the characteristics of elasticity and viscosity. Unlike the metals which show negligible damping characteristics, the damping characteristic of viscoelastic materials like rubber mounts is very important in the analysis of the dynamic system. So there has been a great interest in measuring the damping characteristics of the material can be measured. One is the resonant method which loss factor can be measured only in the resonant frequency. The other is the nonresonant method. In this paper, the test procedure and the physical meaning of the impedance method are introduced. The impedance test results, the loss factor by the impedance method, are compared to the results of the resonant method including some recommendations in the experimental setup.

In this paper the conventional resonant inverters are compared and a novel parallel resonant dc pulse inverter for high performance motor drive system is proposed. The design method and related equations for the novel resonant inverter are derived. Also, a current controller for the resonant inverter is proposed and compared with PI current controller of the conventional PWM inverter by analog simulation. The novel resonant inverter and the current controller are implemented to verify the suggested design principles. The analog simulation and the experimental results shown the satisfactory operation of the proposed inverter and the controller.

A large number of soft switching topologies included a resonant circuit have been proposed. But these circuits increase number of switch in circuit and complicate sequence of switching operation. In this Paper, the authors propose power conversion system, DC-AC inverter of high efficiency and high power factor with soft switching mode by partial resonant method. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. And the snubber condenser used in partial resonant circuit makes charging energy regenerated at input power source for resonant operation.

This paper proposes a parameter design method for multi-element resonant converters (MERCs) with a unique resonant zero point (RZP). This method is mainly composed of four steps. These steps include program filtration, loss comparison, 3D figure fine-tuning and priority compromise. It features easy implementation, effectiveness and universal applicability for almost all of the existing RZP-MERCs. Meanwhile, other design methods are always exclusive for a specific topology. In addition, a novel dual-CTL converter is also proposed here. It belongs to the RZP-MERC family and is designed in detail to explain the process of parameter selection. The performance of the proposed method is verified experimentally on a 500W prototype. The obtained results indicate that with the selected parameters, an extensive dc voltage gain is obtained. It also possesses over-current protection and minimal switching loss. The designed converter achieves high efficiencies among wide load ranges, and the peak efficiency reaches 96.9%.

The new system for identification of organic vapours and analysis method of mechanism between organic vapours and sensitive materials were attempted using the resonant resistance and resonant frequency of Quartz Crystal Analyzer (Q. C. A.). The resonant resistance shift means rheological changes in sensitive LB films occurred by the adsorption of organic vapours, while the resonant frequency shift represent the mass of organic vapour loaded in or on the sensitive LB films. It is thought that we can obtain more accurate response mechanism of organic vapour using the resonant frequency and resonant resistance diagram. The polymeric sensitive material were quantitively depositied using the LB method. In the experimental results, the adsorption behavior of organic vapour response can be decided by two type ; surface adsorption and penetration into sensitive material. Organic vapours had different positions in the Frequency-Resistance (F-R) diagram as to the kinds and concentrations of organic vapours. Thus F-R diagram can be applied to the development of one channel gas sensing system using the Quartz Crystal Analyzer.

This paper presents a new circuit topology and its digital control scheme for a half-bridge resonant inverter. As the proposed half-bridge inverter can be operated in load-freewheeling modes, the pulse-width modulation (PWM) method can be used for the output power control. The proposed half-bridge inverter is based on the resonant frequency-tracking algorithm with the goal of maintaining the unity of the output displacement factor of the load impedance even in varying conditions. In this paper, the operation principle, electrical characteristics, and detailed digital control scheme of the proposed half-bridge resonant inverter are described. The experimental results of the prototype experimental setup to verify the validity of the proposed half-bridge inverter are presented and discussed.

Two degrees of freedom resonant systems are employed to improve the resonant property of resonant sensor, as compared to a single degree of freedom resonant system. This paper presents design, development and testing of two degrees of freedom resonant sensor. To measure absolute mass, cantilever shaped two different masses (smaller/absorber mass and bigger/drive mass) with identical resonant frequency are mechanically linked to form 2 - Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) resonator which exhibits higher amplitude of displacement at the smaller mass. The same concept is extended for measuring differential quantity, by having two bigger mass and one smaller mass. The main features of this work are the 3 - DOF resonator for differential detection and the microcontroller based closed loop electronics for resonant sensor with piezoelectric sensing and excitation. The advantage of using microcontroller is that the method can be easily extended for any range of measurand.
