This paper describes an optimal design method which is applied a weighted least square (WLS) method for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. An optimal design approach is presented for a homogeneity superconducting magnet with the superconducting active shield especially for a magnetic resonance imaging system. The WLS is used to obtain the optimal configurations using the least amount and minimum volume of conductor, exhibiting the smallest level of field inhomogeneity and resulting in the least level of stray field. The proposed model is used to design a multiple-shield configuration for a 1.5 T MRI magnet. The field homogeneity is required less than 5 gauss stray field contour within 4m axially and 3m radially from origin. The designed magnet with the actively magnetic shielding coil out of main coils is analyzed by FEM and theoretical analysis method, investigated the field homogeneity.

In this paper, a new approach for the induction machine control whih ensures producing maximum torque per ampere over the entire field weakening region is presented. In addition, the relation of the output torque capability with the leakage factor of the machine is examined. Also the smooth and precise transition into the field weakening operation can be achieved by adjusting the base speed for the field weakening operation according to the flux level, the current limit and the voltage limit. The proposed is verified through simulation and experiment for a 5hp laboratory induction motor drive system.

We have studied the influence of rubbing directions on electro-optic characteristics of the fringe field driven hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) cell by computer simulation. When a LC with positive dielectric anisotropy is used, the results show that the driving voltage and transmittance decreases as the rubbing direction with respect to horizontal electric field direction increases. The reason for decrease in light transmission is the increase of tilt angle on the center of common electrode. In this paper, we have studied how the rubbing angle effects on the transmittance of the cell by investigating a distribution of electric field and LC director.

Partial discharges(PD) in air, corona discharges, deteriorate the insulation strength. So, it is necessary to detect PD at an early stage before the system failure and extensive damage to the equipment. PD emit signals which can be detected by applying an capacitive electric field diagnosis. In this paper, We measured signals by capacitive electric field sensor and analyzed FFT from PD, and then compared conventional electric PD detecting method to capacitive electric field diagnosis by $\Psi-q-n$, $\Psi-v-n$, $\Psi-n$, $\Psi-q$ distributions.

Here we present detailed simulation results of trench field stop IGBTs. Besides the reduced on-state voltage drop there is also an Increase of forward blocking voltage. A trench gate IGBT has low on-state voltage drop mainly due to the removal of the JFET region and a field stop IGBT has high forward blocking voltages due to the trapezoidal field distribution under blocking condition. We have simulated the static characteristics of TIGBT with field stop technology by 2D simulator(MEDICI). The simulated result of forward blocking voltage and on-state voltage drop is about 1,408V and 1.3V respectively at $110{\mu}m$ N-drift thickness.

This research determined the spectral reflectance characteristics and vegetation indices when intermixed with field crops and soil. Ground-level spectral reflectance were collected in the field experiment containing plots of soybean and other seven crops. The first and second derivative of reflectance spectra showed several peaks that were dependent in different degrees on leaf age and chlorophyll concentration in the crop leaves. This study evaluated a number of spectral indices for estimating chlorophyll concentrations at the leaf scale difference, using samples from field crops at various stages of senescence. Five vegetation indices were evaluated which had advantages over previous techniques. Experimental data recorded on field crops during the growing season are in good agreement with previous theoretical results.

In the present paper, we theoretically analyze the flow of magnetic fluids in a circular pipe with a vertical magnetic field and investigate the magnetic response by the external magnetic field. Theoretical study through the governing equation derived by Siliomis is carried out with numerical analysis by the Gauss Elimination Method. Using polar and magnetic effect parameters, theoretical equations and distributions for the velocity, vorticity, internal angular momentum and induced magnetization as the magnetic response are shown. Especially, in the region of strong magnetic field the specific property is appeared by finding a critical magnetic effect parameter for a polar effect parameter.

The purpose of this paper is to study the removal of nitrogen oxide(NOx) using a wire-plate type plasma reactor with magnet attached for indoor air purification. In order to produce a more effective reactor, we conducted magnetic field simulations. The results of the magnetic field simulations show that NOx can be removed more effectively. The results from the magnetic field simulation show that when 7 magnets were applied to the reactor, the magnetic flux density was at its highest amount than when using 0, 3, or 5 magnets. From the data obtained by the simulation results a plasma reactor was made and thus, several experiments were conducted. The best removal efficiency was obtained with 14 W AC power to the reactor with 5 magnets.

In this study, the ellipsoidal cap type magnetic pole structure was proposed for the electro-magnet in B-H curve tracer. From the simulation for the electro-magnet without specimen, the area of effective uniform field(99% range for the central field value) was considerably increased in case of the newly proposed ellipsoidal cap type magnetic pole than that of the conventional simple-inclined cap type magnetic pole. Also, through the simulation for the electro-magnet with permanent magnet specimen(NaFe30), the optimal Positions of the magnetic field measurement sensor(Hall sensor) were found out in each case and the errors were decreased in case of the newly proposed ellipsoidal cap type magnetic pole.

Using laser ablation technique carbon thin films were deposited on Si(100) substrate as a function of substrate temperature. In this study, the surface morphologic, structural and field emission properties of these carbon thin films were investigated using Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and a diode technique, respectively. With increasing of the substrate temperature, the surface morphologies were changed significantly. Moreover, the intensity of D-band and the full width at half maximum of these bands were dependent on substrate temperatures. As the substrate temperature was increased, the field emission properties were improved. As the result, we find that the field emission properties of the films were changed significantly with the substrate temperature and structural features of carbon than films.
