The gas discharge AND gate which have been newly proposed is applied to three electrode surface discharge AC PDP. The address discharge characteristics by the DC-AC floating discharge by which Y electrode is made floating electrode is analyzed The address discharge can be begun by using the floating discharge from the experiment result Moreover, the display discharge can be sustained. The DC priming discharge that the floating discharge is matched to timing is generated in a supplementary electrode. As a result, space charge is supplied enough to the space of the floating discharge and the data voltage is lowered up to l00(V). Driving method to use this DC-AC floating discharge is able to obtain the address operation margin of l00(V).

An epicyclic gearing system is compact and lightweight. However, it is difficult to share the driving force equally because the system has closed gear trains with multiple driving points, and it always has geometrical errors in the elements. Thus, in the case of planetary gears, the first problem is how to distribute the load evenly to the numerous planets. The method widely used abroad for this purpose is to utilize the elastic deformation of the components of the structure. However, the deflection is very complicated, and it is very easy for vibration problems to occur because of the decrease in the natural frequencies. Therefore, to equalize the load on the planets, this paper discusses the principle and theory behind the functioning of a floating intermediate ring. This magnifies the displacement of a planet's center arising from the equilibrium of the load and the lubricating film pressure, which improves the compliance of the planets. The results show that load equalization of the planets is possible through this improvement in their compliance.

This paper studied the dynamic response of a new gasbag-type floating bridge under the effect of a moving load. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method was used to simulate the movement of seawater and air, and the penalty-based method was used to study the coupling between gasbags and fluid. A three-dimensional finite element model of the floating bridge was established, and the numerical model was verified by comparing with the experimental results. In order to prevent resonance, the natural frequencies and flexural mode shapes were analyzed. Based on the initial state analysis, the dynamic responses of the floating bridge subjected to different moving loads were investigated. Vertical displacements and radial deformations of gasbags under different loads were compared, and principal stress distributions of gasbags were researched while driving. The hinge forces between adjacent modules were calculated to ensure the connection strength. Besides, the floating bridge under wave impacting was analyzed. Those results can provide references for the analysis and design of this new floating bridge.

A current balance problem exists in multi-phase LLC converters due to the resonant parameter tolerance. This paper presents a current balancing method for interleaved three-phase half bridge LLC converters. This method regulates the phase shift angle of the driving signals between the three phases based on a converter with a floating Y-connection. The floating midpoint voltage has different influences on each phase current and makes the three-phase current balance performance better than midpoint non-floating systems. Phase shift control between modules can further regulate the midpoint voltage. Then three phase current sharing is realized without adding extra components. The current distributions in a midpoint non-floating system and a midpoint floating system are compared. Then the principle and implementation of the proposed control strategy are analyzed in detail. A 3kW prototype is built to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.

Single-sustainer driving is an AC PDP driving scheme to reduce the circuitry by maintaining the sustain electrode at ground level. To date, however, the research on the discharge characteristics in such driving scheme is insufficient. In this study, the panel performance and discharge characteristics of the single-sustainer driving scheme were observed while varying the address electrode condition. In single-sustainer driving, the address electrode is strongly involved in the sustain discharge when the former is maintained at ground level, and the dependence of the luminous efficacy on the sustain voltage is different from that in the conventional driving scheme. The dependence of the luminous efficacy on the sustain voltage appeared similar, however, to that in the conventional driving scheme when the address electrode was floated in single-sustainer driving. In the investigation of the temporal evolution of the sustain discharge using an IICCD camera, it was found that the sustain discharge in single-sustainer driving with a floating address electrode is similar to that in the conventional driving scheme, and the strong plasma formation region was located in the vicinity of the MgO surface, which seems to be related to the lifetime of a PDP with single-sustainer driving. In the investigation of the operation characteristics, the PDP that was operated with a floated address electrode showed a narrower dynamic operation margin, but a longer lifetime was expected.

In this paper, we investigated the efficiency according to the output transmission method of the round window driving type AMEIs (active middle ear implants) through the cadaveric experiment. For the experiment, we fabricated DRT (direct rod transducer) and FMT (floating mass transducer) type vibrational transducers based on our previous studies and conducted their output characteristics were measured. TCBT (tri-coil bellows transducer) and DFMT (differential floating mass transducer) were implemented with the same driving force and electrical characteristics as one of DRT and FMT, respectively. In the experiment using three human temporal bone, normal stapes vibration was measured with 1 Pa in front of tympanic membrane, and then was compared with each output of transducers. From the comparison, the DRT type vibration transducer was superior in overall energy transfer efficiency, especially in the low frequency range. There was no difference in implantation difficulty between the two transducers. The results of this study suggest that the DRT type vibrational transducer is more efficient and needs further study to overcome the low frequency degradation in round window approaching with FMT.

A bootstrap circuit for floating power supply has the advantage of being simple and inexpensive. However, the duty cycle and on-time are limited by the requirement to refresh the charge in the bootstrap capacitor. Hence, this paper deals with a design of charge pump circuit for a floating gate power supply of an IPM. The operation of the proposed circuit applied by three-phase inverter system for driving induction motor are verified through the experiments.

The plasma display panel with the electrode structure of new discharge AND gate and its driving scheme were proposed and the driving system for experiment was developed. And operation of these discharge AND gate was verified by the experiment of PDP addressing with floating electrode. This discharge AND gate operated by the operation speed of 8$mutextrm{s}$ and the operation margin of 100V. The address operation margin of 10V also obtained. It was known to be able to control the discharge of the adjoining scan electrode accurately. Because proposed method uses the DC discharge the control of the discharge can be facilitated compared with conventional discharge AND gate. Moreover, because the input discharge and the output discharge of discharge gate are separate, the display discharge can be prevented from passing discharge gates. Therefore, it is possible to apply to the large screen plasma display panel. And the decrease of contrast ratio does not occur because the scanning discharge does not influence the picture quality.

We propose new driving schemes, asymmetry and long gap mode, of PDP having auxiliary electrode between scan and common electrode. For the asymmetric modes, the auxiliary electrode located nearly center of the primary electrodes is connected to the scan of common electrode during all periods of reset, address and sustain. For the long gap mode, it is electrically disconnected or maintained at dc voltage of Vs/2 during sustain period except the first several sustain pulses. The proposed structure and driving method can provide higher luminous efficacy by minimizing consumption energy. The effectiveness of the new driving schemes has been investigated for various Xe partial pressure conditions.
