A novel high step-up converter is presented herein, which combines the conventional buck-boost converter, the charge pump capacitor and the coupling inductor. By doing so, a quite high voltage conversion ratio due to not only the turns ratio but also the duty cycle, so as to increase design feasibility. It is noted that the denominator of the voltage conversion ratio is the square of one minus duty cycle. Above all, there is no voltage spike across the switch due to the leakage inductance and hence no passive or active snubber is needed, and furthermore, the used switch is driven without isolation and hence the gate driving circuit is relatively simple, thereby upgrading the industrial application capability of this converter. In this paper, the basic operating principles and the associated mathematical deductions are firstly described in detail, and finally some experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed high step-up converter.

This paper describes the structural deflection analysis method and result of EMU(Electric Multiple Units). During manufacturing of rail passenger coaches, the underframe is assigned a camber before it is integrated with other major assemblies of shell such as the side panel, the end panel and the roof. The camber of the positive deflection given intentionally to compensate for the sagging so that it remains straight at the maximum load. But some manufacturers have insisted there has no relationship between the camber and the safety or life cycle and they expect to reduce a manufacturing cost without a camber. So this study analyzes whether the camber influences on the safety or life cycle of EMU structure under a full load and regular driving condition. The structural dynamics model for a railway vehicle is introduced.

The paper investigates investor sentiment's role in boosting Japanese companies to enhance their environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) performance. Using ESG scores of 367 firms between 2005 and 2019 from the ASSET4 database, we find that negative sentiment in the previous year, both firm and market level, can be a stimulation for the company's commitments to its ESG activities next year. Notably, the moderating effect of the business sector and economic cycle on the sentiment-ESG inference are detected in our study differentiating between corporate and market sentiment, which have never been reported before. In detail, we discover that the impact of firm-specific sentiment is less pronounced for high-sensitive ESG firms. On the other hand, the driving force of market sentiment on corporate social behaviors weakens when economic recessions happen. Our results are robust after controlling for potential endogeneity issues and using alternative proxies for market sentiment.

The remote sensing technique of measuring the magnetic field was applied first to sunspots by Hale (1908). Later Babcock (1961) showed that the solar surface magnetic field on a global scale is a dipole in first-order approximation and that this dipole field reverses once every solar cycle. The Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO) supplies the spherical harmonics coefficients of the solar corona magnetic field of each Carrington Rotation, calculated based on the remotely-sensed photospheric magnetic field of the solar surface. To infer the internal current system producing the global solar coronal magnetic field structure and evolution of the Sun, we calculate the multipole components of the solar magnetic field using the WSO data from 1976 to 2019. The prominent cycle components over the last 4 solar activity cycles are axis-symmetric fields of the dipole and octupole. This implies that the current inversion driving the solar magnetic field reversal originates from the equatorial region and spreads to the whole globe. Thus, a more accurate solar dynamo model must include an explanation of the origin and evolution of such solar internal current dynamics.

This paper presents a n analysis of the output voltage waveforms of the double sinusoidal modulated PWM inverter, and are studied on the driving characteristics through the 3 phase induction motor using 6502 microcomputer. The double sinusoidal modulated waves are produced during the interval 4$\pi$/3 [rad] for one cycle, and the switching loss can be reduced. The amplitude of fundamental wave of double sinusoidal modulated PWM inverter is 1.15 times higher than that of the sinusoidal PWM inverter, but the practical measured value by FFT analyzer is 1.13 times.

This paper presents operating process and design method on the linear compressor Stirling cryocooler for cooling infrared detector. The free piston-type Stirling cryocooler, which applies 1) the Stirling cycle for refrigeration, 2) linear motors for driving, 3) flexure bearings for support systems, and 4) fine gap for clearance seals, is the most suitable design for a mechanical cryocooler utilized in a night vision environment.

This report suggests a new non-linear friction compensation for digital control systems. This control adopts a hysteric nonlinear clement which can introduce the phase lead of the control system to compensate the phase delay comes from the inherent time delay of a digital control. The Lyapunov direct method is used to prove the asymtotic stability of the suggested control, and the stability and the effectiveness are verified analytically and experimentally on a single axis servo driving system.

막분리(membrane separation)법은 막 전후의 압력차, 농도차 등을 추진력(driving foroe)으로 하여 분리대상물질에 대한 막의 선택투과성 차이를 이용, 분리를 행하는 것이다. 이 분리법은 기존의 분리공정인 심냉법(cryogenic separation)과는 달리 상변환 공정이 필요없어 에너지가 적게 들고 또한 PSA(pressure swing adsorption)법에서와 같은 cycle 운전이 필요없어 연속적으로 분리가 가능하며 시스템도 간단하다. 최근 기체 막분리의 경우 수소 및 탄산가스의 회수정제, 공기중의 산소와 질소의 분리 등에 실용화되고 있다. 여기서는 공기중의 산소를 분리하여 30-40% 산소부화공기(oxygen enriched air)를 간편하게 제조할 수 있는 산소부화막장치와 연소장치에의 응용기술 및 연구결과에 대해 간략히 소개하고자 한다.

This paper shows the fatigue durability test method for vehicle suspension systems. Durability should be assured for the safe driving during vehicle life cycle. A computer simulation for the vehicle dynamics was used to obtain dynamic loads that were required for the fatigue durability test. Durability tests were done for an Important load-carrying component of the suspension system. Stress analyses using stresscoat and strain gages were also done for the component. This study demonstrated an effective method for the fatigue durability test.
