In order to prevent fire and explosion due to the electrostatic discharge at the Gas Station etc. This result will be applied to standard in the future. Wearing the non-electrostatic removing wear, Charged voltage of human body is 3,980V(MIE is approximately 0.79mJ). There is a possibility of fire explosion because the MIE of LP gas is 0.25mJ. In accordance with using period(whasing times), Charged voltage is shown that propensity is increased. Electrostatic charge amount is upper standard($0.6{\mu}$C) of the hazard of electrostatic removing wear. There is a possibility of fire and explosion. Therefore, countermeasure and management are needed about gas station worker.

As the friction between two mated materials generates electrostatic voltage, vehicles especially in the cold climate has been accumulated an electrostatic voltage by the reason of fuel flow in the fuel line, air flows out side of vehicle, etc. In this study, investigations of electrostatic discharge characteristics has been carried out in the fuel systems of gasoline engines depending on the environment temperature. For the experiment, conventional fuel filters(paint coated steel case) and specially made testing equipment are prepared. The experimental results shows, an accumulation speed of electrostatic voltage depends on the environmental temperature and new methods of testing procedures are required compare to SAE standards.

It was suggested that tape casting method can be used to fabricate high-temperature electrostatic chucks(HTESC) based on a metal substrate coated with a glass-ceramic insulating layer. The adhesion of the coating was excellent such that it was able to withstand temperature cycling to over $300^{\circ}C$ without spalling. The electrostatic clamping pressure reached a very high value of about 9 torr at 600V and generally followed the theoretical voltage-squared curve. Based on these results, we believe that we successfully developed a viable technique for manufacturing low cost HTESC.

As a preliminary step toward the development of a multipurpose electrostatic separator for agricultural use, this study investigated the effect of moisture level, geometrical characteristics and the electric field strength of a charging device on the electrostatic charging of brown rice, unhulled paddy, small stones and broken rice that are produced during the milling process. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Average electrostatic charge per unit mass of paddy is greater than that of brown rice. 2. Charge per unit mass of rice kernel increases linearly with moisture content and electric field strength of the charging device, presenting no correlations with length or thickness of rice kernel. 3. Frequency distributions in electrostatic charge per unit mass of paddy and brown rice kernels indicated that the portion, not overlapped, ranged from 10 to 29% with Japonica rice and from 32 to 49% with Indica rice. 4. The difference in moisture content between paddy and brown rice must be over 6%, if they are to be electrostatically separated to over 95%. 5. Theoretical portions of brown rice to be separated from a mixture primarily by the electrostatic charge and secondarily by the length or by the thickness were 95~100% and 27~76%, respectively. 6. Frequency distribution of electrostatic charge for broken kernels overlapped that of paddy and brown rice, which the small stones didn't.

An electrostatic inkjet head can be used for manufacturing processes of large display systems and printed circuit boards (PCB) as well as inkjet printers because an electrostatic field provides an external force which can be manipulated to control sizes of droplets. The existing printing methods such as thermal bubble and piezo inkjet heads have shown difficulties to control the ejection of the droplets for printing applications. Thus, the new inkjet head has been proposed using the electrostatic force. A numerical analysis has been performed to calculate the intensity of the electrostatic field using the Maxwell's equation. Also, experiments have been carried out to investigate the droplet movement using a downward capillary with outside diameter of $500{\mu}m$. Gravity, surface tension, and electrostatic force have been analyzed with high voltages for a drop-on-demand ejection. It has been observed that the droplet size decreases and the frequency of the droplet formation and the velocity of the droplet ejection increase with increasing the intensity of the electrostatic field using high-speed camera.

In this paper, we develop an electrostatic monitoring system which is composed of an electrostatic prediction system and a warning message transmission system. The electrostatic prediction system in a factory receives the value of electrostatic charge from the electrostatic sensor and predicts the next value by using past data and sends the value to the warning message transmission system through the bluetooth communication. The warning message transmission system gets a warning signal and transmits the warning message to the worker's cellphone through a commercial SMS web by a socket program running on Windows PC in a control room. We propose electrostatic forecasting algorithms based on LSR(least square regression) using weight factors in an electrostatic prediction system. Simulation results show that the algorithm with dynamically variable weight factors is best with 64.69V standard deviation and a warning message transmitted by the warning message transmission system is displayed on cellphone after about 5 seconds.

When insulating oil is flowed through a pipe, the electrostatic charge in the oil will be increased. Using inflammability oil, an electrostatic phenomena which may cause significantly problems as explosion must be circumvented by some methods. In this paper we made a new electrode which was applied AC field to the flowing oil for reducing electrostatic charge. Before we developed the new method of an electrostatic elimination, the electrification experiment was performed by using the same electrode which was supplied DC voltage to realize electrified conditions. As a result of this study, the effect of the electrostatic elimination could be observed.

Electrostatic precipitator is the equipment that separates dust particles from the gas in which they are suspended. Specially, for the construction of industrial electrostatic precipitator, the corporations would send the layout design to a customer to accept an order. Therefore, it is made a detail drawing after accept ance. Since the layout design of electrostatic precipitator is very complex, it takes time and design errors are included. Thus, for competitiveness in these industries, the development of software for the layout design of electrostatic precipitator is important. In this study, the developed software deals with technical concept and layout design of industrial electrostatic precipitator. By using the software, design time was very short, design errors reduced largely, and the standardization of design could be carried out.

For an analysis of nonlinear dynamic behavior in carbon nanotube(CNT) an electrostatic force of CNT was investigated. The boundary condition in the CNT was assumed to clamped-clamped case at both ends. This type of CNT is widely used as micro and nano-sensors. For larger gaps in between sensor and electrode the van der Waals force can be ignored. The electrostatic force can be expressed as linear form using Taylor series. However, the first term of the series expansion was investigated here. The electrostatic force From this study we can conclude that for larger gaps the electrostatic force play an important role in determining the deflections as well as the pull-in voltage of simply supported switches.
