Ionic-polymer-metal-composite(IPMC), one of new actuation materials of electroactive polymers plated with noble metallic electrodes is known for the fast bending upon electric field. The IPMC strip bends towards anode under electrical field. It has many merits of low driving voltage, quick responsiveness, high durability, possibility of miniaturizability. In this paper, we studied for developing the large deflection of IPMC according several fabricating parameters. We measured the large deflection by the different process of sandpaper and sandblasting in surface treatment, the initial compositing process and the surface electroding process, and the different counter ions in ion exchanging process. In fundamental, the displacement of IPMC strip depends on voltage magnitude and applied signal frequency and its maximum deformation is observed at a critical frequency, resonant frequency.

A microstructure array has been proposed for micro plasma generation using electroplating and double exposed process. A stable atmospheric plasma has been generated at a low voltage by utilizing the micro electrode gap. Self-aligned microstructure can provide uniform electrode overlap with precisely controlled gap between the electrodes. The proposed structure allows for triode operation, which can expand the generated plasma over a large area by applying a lateral electric field. Electrical characteristics of the micro triode confirm the large numbers of the plasma ions are drifted to the secondary cathode by the lateral electrical field.

In ECR and helicon reactors for plasma processing, a high density plasma is generated in a source region which is connected to a diffusion region where the processing takes place. Large density and potential gradients can develop at the orifice of the source which drive ion currents into the diffusion region. The average ion velocity may become the order of the sound velocity. Measurements of the ion saturation current to a Langmuir probe are used as a standard method of determining the plasma density in laboratory discharges. However, the analysis becomes difficult in a steaming plasma. We have used the HAMLET plasma simulator to simulate the ion flow to a large langmuir probe in an ECR plasma. The collection surface was aligned with the Held upstream, normal to the field, and downstream. ion trajectories through the electric and magnetic fields were calculated including ion-neutral collisions. We examines the ratio of ion current density to plasma density as a function of magnetic field and pressure.

Organic-inorganic composite of polyaniline and barium titanate (PANI-$BaTiO_3$) was synthesized via an in-situ oxidation polymerization of aniline in the presence of barium titanate ($BaTiO_3$) nanoparticles dispersed in an acidic medium. Barium titanate has large electric resistance and relatively high dielectric constant which is one of the essential properties for its electrorheological (ER) applications. The microstructure and composition of the obtained PANI/$BaTiO_3$ composite were characterized by SEM, FT-IR and XRD. In addition, we also employed a rotational rheometer to investigate the rheological performance of the ER fluids based on both pure PANI particle and PANI/$BaTiO_3$ composite. It was found that the composite materials possess much higher yield stresses than the pristine PANI due to unique dielectric properties of the inorganic $BaTiO_3$ particles. Finally, we also examined dynamic yield stress by analyzing its extrapolated yield stress data as a function of electric field strengths. Using the critical electric field strengths deduced, we further found that the universal yield stress equation collapses their data onto a single curve.

A large steel industry which has nonlinear loads including electric arc furnaces is one of the extra high voltage customers. These nonlinear loads generate harmonic currents and create distortions on the sinusoidal voltage of the power system. Harmonic field measurements have shown that the harmonic contents of a waveform varies with time. A cumulative propablistic approach is the most commonly used method to solve time varying harmonics. In this paper the in varying harmonics of electric arc furnace loads are evaluated by international harmonic standards(IEC 61000-3-6, IEEE 519 and JIS C 61000-3-2).

Multiseeding with (100)/(100) grain junctions of top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) processed YBCO superconductors was studied. The effect of the number of seeds and the distance between two seeds on the levitation forces and the trapped magnetic fields of the TSMG-processed YBCO samples was investigated. Multiple seeding shortened the processing time for the fabrication of TSMC-processed YBCO superconductors. The large magnetic field was trapped at the grain junction when two seeds was placed without spacing, while the amount of the magnetic field decreased when the seed distance increased. This is attributed to the increased amount of the residual melt phases around the grain junctions.

With the increasing reliability of analysis schemes and the dramatically increased calculating speed, the computer simulation has become and indispensable process to predict the interruption capacity of circuit breakers. Generally, circuit breakers have to possess both the small current and large current interruption abilities and the circuit breaker designers need to evaluate its capacities to save the time and the expense. The analysis of small current and the large current interruption performances have been considered separately because the phenomena occurring in a interrupter are quite different. To analyze the dielectric recovery after large current interruption many physical phenomena such as heat transfer, convection and arc radiation, the nozzle ablation, the ionization of high temperature SF(sub)6 gas, the electric and themagnetic forces and so forth mush be considered. However, in the analysis of small current interruption performance only the cold gas flow analysis needs to be carried out because the capacitive current is to small that the influence from the current can be neglected. In this paper, an empirical equation which is obtained from a series of tests to estimate the dielectric recovery strength has been applied to a real circuit breaker. The results of analysis have been compared with the test results and the reliability has been investigated.

In renewable energy system such as flywheel energy storage system, wind power and solar power, the motor/generator is the important key for offering the electric energy to the electric loads. For example, the heavy and large flywheel is rotated by electromagnetic torque of pemanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and, in case of a breakdown of electric current, the PMSM used as generator supplies electric energy for the various electric utilities using mechanical rotation energy of the flywheel. Thus, design of a motor/generator should be performed in effort to reduce cogging torque and electromagnetic loss for high efficiency. In our paper, a slotless permanent magnet synchronous motor/generator (SPMSM/G) with output power 15kW at the rotor speed 18000rpm is designed from electromagnetic analysis and dynamic performance analysis. In analytical approach, design parameters such as back electro-motive force (back EMF), inductance and electromagnetic torque are derived from analytical method which is one of the electromagnetic analysis method. And using the design parameters, this paper deal with system design considering the driving characteristics and electric load in required power. Finally, the analytical results are verified by the experiment and finite element method (FEM).

A novel self-aligned ESD (Elevated Source Drain) MOSFET structure which can effectively reduce the GIDL (Gate-Induced Drain Leakage) current is proposed and analyzed. The proposed ESD structure is characterized by sidewall spacer and recessed-channel depth which are determined by dry-etching process. Elevation of the Source/Drain extension region is realized so that the low-activation effect caused by low-energy ion implantation can be avoided. Unlike the conventional LDD structures, it is shown that the GIDL current of the ESD structure is suppressed without sacrificing the maximum driving capability. The main reason for the reduction of GIDL current Is the decreased electric field at the point of the maximum band-to-band tunneling as the peak electric field is shifted toward the drain side.
