This paper proposes an indirect fault detection method for an onboard degaussing coil system, installed to reduce the underwater magnetic field from the ferromagnetic hull. The method utilizes underwater field signals measured at specific magnetic treatment facilities instead of using time-consuming numerical field solutions in a three-dimensional space. An equivalent magnetic charge model combined with a material sensitivity formula is adopted to predict fault coil locations. The purpose of the proposed method is to yield reliable data on the location and type of a coil breakdown even without information on individual degaussing coils, such as dimension, location and number of turns. Under several fault conditions, the method is tested with a model ship equipped with 20 degaussing coils.

Wireless charging has been considered an essential part of recent mobile devices. Moreover, various wireless charging systems have emerged through many studies. Among the systems, in the 2D flat coil system, the transmitter coil and receiver coil are arranged horizontally as close as possible to improve the charging efficiency. Nowadays, the 3D coil system has been proposed by adding some slope to flat 2D coils to reduce the volume. On the other hand, the 3D coil system has a lower charging efficiency than the 2D system that decreases rapidly with increasing distance. This paper proposes a new system that improves the low efficiency and charging freedom, which are the drawbacks of the existing 3D systems. The proposed system was designed in three-dimensions, and another transmitter coil was added to the transmitter coil to improve the transmission efficiency and flexibility. The measurement showed that the charging efficiency of the proposed system was 40.10% when the distance between coils was 8 mm, which is 20.5 % improvement over the existing one. The proposed method can be applied when new wireless charging systems are designed and improve charging efficiency can be improved.

The heat transfer experiment in a pilot scale latent heat storage tank as a solar energy storage system for the hot water supply was carried out. The latent heat storage tank was consisted of three parts; Outer shell for hot water from solar collector, PCM storage vessel in the middle of the tank and immersed coil in the PCM vessel for hot water recovery. The heat storage tank has the dimension of 115 cm in height and 32 cm outside diameter. Paraffin wax (m.p = 55.4C) and sodium acetate trihydrate (m.p = 58 C) were employed as the PCM this study. Experimental variables were inlet temperature and flow rate of the hot water for heat storage stage and cold water for heat recovery stage. Temperature profiles, heat transfer coefficient and the efficiency of heat storage $(Q/Q_{max})$ and heat recovery $(Q/Q_{max})$ were determined for the paraffin wax and inorganic salt respectively.

In this paper, a dual band antenna with the operating frequency in HF and UHF band was proposed. The antenna structure consists of three spiral turns coil in the bottom side to generate the HF frequency of 13.56 MHz. In the top of the antenna, an inverted-spiral dipole structure is used to create the UHF frequency of 922 MHz. The dual band antenna was optimized to reduce size with $80mm{\times}40mm{\times}0.8mm$ dimension. The antenna presents the omnidirectional characteristic with high gain. To validate the theoretical design, the antenna was simulated using FR-4 substrate and verified the simulation results.
