This study compared DLP values along with phantom entrance surface doses and the image quality of chest CT scans made using a Care Dose 4D+Care kV System, scans that are made using only the Care Dose 4D function, and scans that are made with changes made by applying 80 kVp, 100 kVp, 120 kVp, and 140 kVp to the Care Dose 4D and tube voltage to search for methods to maintain the highest image quality with minimal patient doses. It was shown that DLP values decreased 6.727% when scans were taken with Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV semi 100 and 6.481% when scans were taken with Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV. With Chest Non as a standard, skin surface doses decreased 16.519% when scans were taken with Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV semi 100 and 15.705% when scans were taken with Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV. With comparisons of image quality, when comparisons were made with Chest Non, comparisons made of SNR values and CNR values in all scanning conditions including Care Dose 4D + Care kV showed that there were no significant differences at P>0.05. Imaging using Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV in chest CT showed that exposure doses decreased similarly to result values gained from the best conditions through manual adjustments of kV and mAS, and there were no significant differences in image SNR and CNR. If the Chest Care Dose 4D + Care kV function is used, image quality is maintained and patient exposure to radiation can be reduced.

High-coercive garnet films have certain parameters suitable for creating reconfigurable magnetic atomic chips with visible geometry. However, the inner stresses and morphological properties, namely, networks of dislocations, layering and surface relief, and dependence of coercivity on thickness must be taken into account. Select features of films important for atomic trap creation have been studied experimentally and the supposed traps concept provided.

This paper describes a DC-DC Boost converter for Thermoelectric Energy Harvesting. The designed converter boosts the $V_{DD}$ through a start-up block from a low output voltage of thermoelectric devices and the boosted $V_{DD}$ is used to operate the internal block circuits. When $V_{DD}$ reaches a predefined value, a detector circuit makes the start-up block turn off for minimizing current consumption. The final boosted $V_{OUT}$ is achieved by alternately operating the DC-DC converter for $V_{DD}$ and the other converter for final output $V_{OUT}$ according to the comparator output. Simulation results shows that the designed converter outputs 2.8V from an input voltage of 200mV. The area of the chip designed using a 0.35um CMOS process is $1.52mm{\times}0.95mm$ including pads.

This paper describes electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant. Electric shock accidents mostly involve damage of human life, in comparison with electrical fire, rate of human death tend to be higher in electric shock accidents. Specially, in a high voltage facilities rate of human death comprised about 43.7% by electric shock accidents. If electric shock accidents happen in a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant, then the power plant discontinue power production. Electric shock accidents in a power plant have a great ripple effect such as an electric power shortage. In this paper, we analyzed electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker for power plant. From the analysis results, we confirmed a cause of electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker, it happened by defect of interlock equipment or occurrence of breakdown between first feeder contactor and shielding plate. In order to reduce electric shock accidents on a 4.16 kV class circuit breaker, the power plant should consider improvement of interlock equipment and insulation of feeder contactor in circuit breaker.

This paper presents a characteristics of horizontal swing angle in V type suspension string sets for 765kV T/L. The design of V type suspension string set does not differ from that of general string set for general towers, but it prevents instabilities from swing motion by the horizontal angle and by the wind pressure. We were designed specially 6 conductor yoke, arcing horn and earth horn. And we were decided to 550mm for a distance of strings. We were carried out characteristics of horizontal swing test and movement of mass center test for V-string sets of 400kN single, 300kN double and 400kN double. This products will be used for 765kV T/L of 1 circuit in suspension towers.

This paper proposes a 3.3-kW bi-directional EV charger with V2G and V2H functions. The bi-directional EV charger consists of a DC-DC converter and a DC-AC inverter. The proposed EV charger is suitable for wide battery voltage control due to the two-stage configuration of the DC-DC converter. By employing a fixed-frequency series loaded resonant converter as the isolated DC-DC converter, zero-current-switching can be achieved regardless of battery voltage variation, load variation, and power flow. A 3.3-kW prototype of the proposed EV charger has been built and verified with experiments, and indicates a maximum efficiency of 94.39% and rated efficiency of 94.23%.

The Schottky barrier hieght(SBH) of Au/n-Si(100) were investigated by current-voltage(I-V) and capacitance voltage(C-V) measurement within a temperature range of l00K∼300K. The values of SBH at room temperature obtained from these two measurements were (0.79${\pm}$0.02)eV. The SBH obtained from the C-V measurement was temperature independent, while that obtained from the I-V measurement decreased linearly with decreasing temperature. This indicates that the Schottky diode has deviated from the thermionic emission theory at low-temperature, Thus, other current transport processes were considered and the contribution of recombination current was dominant at low temperature. We found that it leads to a lower SBH value. Thus, the conflicating results between C-V and I-V measurement were explained, C-V measurement is believed to yield mare reliable SBH values in present study since it is not affected by the current transport uncertainties.

Let G = (V ; E) be a simple undirected graph without loops and multiple edges, the vertex and edge sets of it are represented by V = V (G) and E = E(G), respectively. A weighting w of the edges of a graph G induces a coloring of the vertices of G where the color of vertex v, denoted $S_v:={\Sigma}_{e{\ni}v}\;w(e)$. A k-edge-weighting of a graph G is an assignment of an integer weight, w(e) ${\in}${1,2,...,k} to each edge e, such that two vertex-color $S_v$, $S_u$ be distinct for every edge uv. In this paper we determine an exact 3-edge-weighting of complete graphs $k_{3q+1}\;{\forall}_q\;{\in}\;{\mathbb{N}}$. Several open questions are also included.

The HVPS of the TWTA for military satellite communications is developed and tested. With 380 V input DC voltage, the HVPS provides -10.95 kV for Cathode, -4.27 kV for Collectorl and -6.57 kV for Collector2 of the TWT that generates 600 W X-band output signal power. The total output power of the HVPS is about 1.6 kW. The voltage ripples of Cathode, Collectorl and Collector2 are 6 V, 12 V and 6 V, respectively, which are only $0.055\%,\;0.281\%$ and $0.091\%$ compared to the absolute output voltages.

We study the positive $C^1$ function z = f(x, y) defined on the plane ${\mathbb{R}}^2$. For a rectangular domain $[a,b]{\times}[c,d]{\subset}{\mathbb{R}}^2$, we consider the volume V and the surface area S of the graph of z = f(x, y) over the domain. We also denote by (${\bar{x}}_V,\;{\bar{y}}_V,\;{\bar{z}}_V$) and (${\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{y}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S$) the geometric centroid of the volume under the graph of z = f(x, y) and the centroid of the graph itself defined on the rectangular domain, respectively. In this paper, first we show that among nonconstant $C^2$ functions with isolated singularities, S = kV, $k{\in}{\mathbb{R}}$ characterizes the family of catenary rotation surfaces f(x, y) = k cosh(r/k), $r={\mid}(x,y){\mid}$. Next, we show that one of $({\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{y}}_S)=({\bar{x}}_V,\;{\bar{y}}_V)$, $({\bar{x}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S)=({\bar{x}}_V,\;2{\bar{z}}_V)$ and $({\bar{y}}_S,\;{\bar{z}}_S)=({\bar{y}}_V,\;2{\bar{z}}_V)$ characterizes the family of catenary rotation surfaces among nonconstant $C^2$ functions with isolated singularities.
