Aerodynamic performance of a cooling fan of driving motor was enhanced modifying the vane-shroud configuration. Performance of a target model was evaluated to obtain baseline data. The aerodynamic performance and sound pressure level were tested and measured with different numbers of vane of increased length. The tested models show high and stable performance and low values of specific noise level. The long vane-shroud structure induces more stable through flow and decreases the tip leakage flow, which contributes to the increases of performance and efficiency. The sound pressure level increases for the modified model, however, specific noise level decreases.

Electro-pneumatic servo valve is an electro-mechanical device which converts electric signals into a proper pneumatic flow rate or pressure. In order to improve the overall performance of pneumatic servo systems, electro-pneumatic servo valves are required, which have fast dynamic characteristics, no air leakage at a null point, and can be fabricated at a low-cost. The first objective of this research is to design and to fabricate a new electro-pneumatic servo valve which satisfies the above-mentioned requirements. In order to design the mechanism of the servo valve optimally, the flow inside the valve depending upon the position of spool was analyzed variously, and on the basis of such analysis results, the valve mechanism, which was formed by combination of the spool and the sleeve, was designed and manufactured. And a tester for conducting an overall performance test was designed and manufactured, and as a result of conducting the flow rate test, the pressure test and the frequency test on the developed pneumatic servo valve.

Sacral meningeal cyst is usually asymtomatic, but may be responsible for sciatic pain syndromes and other clinical symptoms. Sacral meningeal cyst might be suspected when definite explanation for the clinical symptom, such as herniation of the intervertebral disc or spinal stenosis is not found. Plain films and CT may suggest the presence of sacral meningeal cyst, but MR is the current imaging study of choice. Evaluation of the correlation between the symptom and the cyst is as important as detection of it. We have experienced a case of sacral meningeal cyst detected during caudal epidural block. The patient complained of low back pain radiating to thigh. Plain films and lumbar spine CT showed no remarkable finding except disc bulging. During caudal epidural needle insertion, there was leakage of clear CSF, and intrasacral cystic shadow was visualized by dye injection. MR confirmed sacral meningeal cyst.

In the present paper, the characteristics of Mega-Flux$^{(R)}$, JNEX-Core$^{(R)}$, amorphous and ferrite cores are compared to the inductor of buck-boost converters for Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Core losses are analyzed at the condition of 10 kHz sine wave excitations, and permeability fluctuations vs. temperature and magnetizing force will be analyzed and discussed. Under the specifications of the buck-boost converter for 20 kW THS-II, the power inductor will be designed with Mega-Flux$^{(R)}$ and JNEX-Core$^{(R)}$, and informative simulation results will be provided with respect to dc bias characteristics, core and copper losses.

It is well known that the stator-flux-oriented induction motor drives are not dependent on parameter detuning in constant torque region except low speed range. This paper presents parameter detuning effects of stator-flux-oriented induction motor drives in constant torque region. The detuning effects of stator resistance, rotor resistance and rotor leakage inductance are analyzed.

The sensorless scheme for Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) dives must have the robustness and reliability because the noise and error are sensitive. These elements make electrically noisy environments due to the proximity of high current power circuits with small signal electronic circuits when SRM drives. Also the leakage inductances and finite coupling capacitances these can cause the noise on any low voltage current and voltage measurement. the error can occur because the current and voltage including the noise are used as the input of sensorless algorithm In this paper the high robustness and resistance of input noise are described and the fuzzy logic based rotor estimation algorithm is used to reduce the tolerance of input data.

This paper studies the problem of precoding and post-coding design for multicell multiuser downlink transmissions in the absence of perfect channel state information (CSI). Using statistical information of imperfect CSI, an iterative multiuser multicell transceiver design is formulated by minimizing the mean squared error (MSE) cost function of signal and leakage interference under per-base station power constraint (PBPC). The convergence of the iterative precoding and postcoding algorithm is verified by analytical and empirical results. The proposed precoding and postcoding algorithm offers a low computational complexity and robustness against CSI imperfection.

This study proposes a novel isolated high step-up galvanic converter, which is suitable for renewable energy applications and integrates a boost converter, a coupled inductor, a charge pump capacitor cell, and an LC snubber. The proposed converter comprises an input inductor and thus features a continuous input current, which extends the life of the renewable energy chip. Furthermore, the proposed converter can achieve a high voltage gain without an extremely large duty cycle and turn ratio of the coupled inductor by using the charge pump capacitor cell. The leakage inductance energy can be recycled to the output capacitor of the boost converter via the LC snubber and then transferred to the output load. As a result, the voltage spike can be suppressed to a low voltage level. Finally, the basic operating principles and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

We have studied electro-optic characteristics to improve viewing angle of the in-plain switching (IPS) liquid crystal display using an compensation film. The IPS mode shows relatively large light leakage and color shift in diagonal directions in a dark state. To solve this problem, we have compensated the low contrast ratio in diagonal directions using one optimized discotic film and adjusting TAC films of polarizers. The compensated IPS mode shows wide viewing angle characteristics that region of CR 50:1 is over $60^{\circ}$ of polar angle in all directions. The optimized IPS cell exhibits much better performances than other methods do in terms of CR and color uniformity.

We have successfully demonstrated of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors with $HfO_2$/p-Si structures. The $HfO_2$ film was grown at $200^{\circ}C$ on H-terminated Si wafer by atomic layer deposition (ALD) system. TEMAHf and $H_2O$ were used as the hafnium and oxygen sources. A cycle of the deposition process consisted of 0.1 s of TEMAHf pulse, 10 s of $N_2$ purge, 0.1 s of $H_2O$ pulse, and 60 s of $N_2$ purge. The 5 nm thick $HfO_2$ layer prepared on Si substrate by ALD exhibited excellent electrical properties, including low leakage currents, no mobile charges, and a good interface with Si.
