High-temperature superconducting rotors offer advantages in terms of output-to-weight ratio and efficiency compared to conventional phase conduction motors or generators. The rotor can be cooled by conduction cooling, which attaches a cryocooler, and by refrigerant circulation, which uses circulating liquid or gas neon, helium and hydrogen. Recent work has focused on environmental issues and on high-temperature superconducting motors cooled with liquid hydrogen that can be combined with fuel cells. However, to ensure smooth supply and return of the cryogenic cooling fluid, a cryogenic rotational coupling between the rotating and stationary parts is necessary. Additionally, the development of a sealing structure to minimize fluid leakage applicable to the coupling is essential. This study describes the design and performance evaluation of a non-contact sealing method, specifically a labyrinth seal, which avoids power loss and heat load caused by friction in contact sealing structures. The seal design incorporates a spiral flow path to reduce leakage using centrifugal force, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted to analyze the flow path and rotational speed. A performance evaluation device was configured and employed to evaluate the designed seal. The results of this study will be used to develop a cryogenic rotational coupling with supply and return flow paths for cryogenic applications.

This paper proposes a new LDMOSFET structure with a trenched sinker for high-power RF amplifiers. Using a low-temperature, deep-trench technology, we succeeded in drastically shrinking the sinker area to one-third the size of the conventional diffusion-type structure. The RF performance of the proposed device with a channel width of 5 mm showed a small signal gain of 16.5 dB and a maximum peak power of 32 dBm with a power-added efficiency of 25% at 2 GHz. Furthermore, the trench sinker, which was applied to the guard ring to suppress coupling between inductors, showed an excellent blocking performance below -40 dB at a frequency of up to 20 GHz. These results confirm that the proposed trenched sinker should be an effective technology both as a compact sinker for RF power devices and as a guard ring against coupling.

Symmetric directional couplers are widely used in interferometers, switches, and various signal processing devices. Recently, several optical couplers using multimode fibers were reported, but these suffer from inefficient coupling of light into a branching fiber and/or low directivity. This paper presents the measurement and analysis of loss in the connection of optical fibers via the optical directional couplers. The functionality of the device is based on the principle that is symmetrical, the power in excited mode can be unambiguously directed into one of the output channel by varying and of its parameters. In this experiment, we measure the power of loss in the optical directional coupler at various radius of curvature. Before the measurement of loss in x-coupler, we polish the contact of the fiber surface in order that light can penetrate through another port. The results show that, when the radius of curvature is increased, the loss power is decreased and also approaches of the straight line case.

Gantry mechanisms have been widely used for precision manufacturing and material handling in electronics, nuclear, and automotive industries. Dual-drive servo mechanism is a way to increase control bandwidth, in which two primary axes aligned in parallel are synchronously driven by identical servo motors. With this mechanism, a flexible coupling (compliance mechanism) is often introduced in order to avoid the damage by the servo mismatch between the primary drives located at each side of gantry. This paper describes the design guidelines of the dual-drive servo mechanism with focus on its dynamic characteristics and control ramifications. That is, the effect on the system bandwidth which is critical on the system performance, the errors and torques exerted on guide ways in case of servo mismatch, the vibration characteristics concerned with dynamic error and settling time, and the driving force required at each axis for control are thoroughly investigated.

External linkage type spine motion analysis was developed for relative trunk motion respect to the pelvis. A special programs for calculation of the relative angular motion and for graphical display were also developed. The developed device assured its accuracy and conveniency after application to 15 normal vol- unteers. Compare to the normal subjects, 18 patients treated with fixations and decompression surgery showed relatively large coupling motion. Optimal trajectory of the trunk motion derived from mathematical model in flexion and extension matched well with measurement for normal subjects.

This paper describes a neural stimulation system that employs an inductive coupling link to transfer power and data wirelessly. For the reliable data and power delivery, a self-referenced amplitude-shift keying (ASK) demodulator and a wide-range voltage regulator are suggested and implemented in the proposed stimulator system. The prototype fabricated in 0.35 um BCD process successfully transferred 1.2 Kbps data bi-directionally while supplying 4.5 mW power to internal MCU and stimulation block.

We investigate the efficiency of an optical intensity modulator based on an electrically tunable $LiNbO_3$ reflection grating. Assuming a grating coupling coefficient and the waveguide propagation loss, waveguide length is varied to find its effect on the modulator slope efficiency and the device capacitance. With the low propagation loss of the $LiNbO_3$ waveguide, a very efficient optical intensity modulator can be achieved for a low frequency (${\sim}1GHz$) as long as the requirement for the grating coupling coefficient is satisfied.

Using these characteristics and coupling effects, the general relation between flexion angles of joints and the values from sensors are proposed as exponential functions. Also, the error range of sensed values is proposed and the glove-like hand input system is calibrated as well by the experiments.

본 논문에서는 고출력 전자기파 (Electromagnetic pulses, EMP) 영향에 의해 발생하는 반도체 부품의 물리적 상호작용에 대한 원리와 고장 발생 메커니즘의 연구를 위해 선행된 연구 내용을 고찰하였다. 반도체 부품에서의 전자기파 전이 과정은 3층 (공기/유전체/도체) 구조로 설명할 수 있으며, 복소반사계수에 의하여 이론적으로 흡수되는 에너지를 예상할 수 있다. 반도체 부품에 전달된 과도한 고출력 전자기파로 인한 반도체 부품의 주요 고장 원인은 전자기파 커플링에 의한 부품 소재의 줄 열에너지의 발생이다. 전기장에 의한 유전가열과 자기장에 의한 맴돌이손실에 의해 반도체 칩의 P-N 접합 파괴, 회로패턴의 burn-out과 리드 프레임과 칩을 연결하는 와이어의 손상 등이 발생한다. 즉, 반도체 부품에 전달된 전자기파는 반도체 내부 물질과 상호작용을 하며, 쌍극자분극과 이온 전도도 현상이 동시에 발생하여, 칩 내부의 P-N 접합 부분에 과도한 역전압이 형성되어 P-N 접합 파괴를 유발한다. 향후 고 신뢰성을 요구하는 전기전자시스템에 대한 EMP 내성을 향상하기 위한 반도체 부품 수준의 연구가 필요하다.
