We describe the pulse forming of pulsed $CO_2$laser using multi-pulse superposition technique. A various pulse length, high duty cycle pulse forming network(PFN) is constructed by time sequence. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on SCRs of three PFN modules consecutively at a desirable delay time with the aid of PIC one-chip microprocessor. The power supply for this experiment consists of three PFN modules. Each PFN module uses a capacitor, a pulse forming inductor, a SCR, a High voltage pulse transformer, and a bridge rectifier on each transformer secondary. The PFN modules operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV pulse transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence. We investigated laser pulse shape and duration as various trigger time intervals of SCRs among three PFN modules. As a result, we can obtain laser beam with various pulse shapes and durations from about 250 $mutextrm{s}$ to 600 $mutextrm{s}$.

In this paper, the superposition of ultrasonic signals which were generated by multi-source in a transformer was presented. For analysis of ultrasonic superposition, V$_{peak-peak}$ and pulse number of ultra-sonic signal were used. As a result, the wave form of ultrasonic superposition was classified into three types ; First type was the wave form whose V$_{peak-peak}$ was increased by the superposition of each signal's V$_{peak-peak}$. Second type was wave form whose V$_{peak-peak}$ was decreased by the superposition of each signal's V$_{peak-peak}$. And the other type was wave form whose peals were two or mere. And V$_{peak-peak}$ of superposed ultrasonic wave wads mostlv increased or decreased and pulse number of supe게osed u1trasonic wave was mostly increased.y increased.

Throughout manufacturing processes, pulse shaping is required for material processing and it is regarded as an important (actor according to the specific characteristics of materials. Therefore, this study suggests a highly appropriate pulse shaping technique using a multi-switching method. This is a pulse superposition method in which one flash lamp can consecutively turn on by the double switching of the discharging system. It is possible to construct a variety of pulse shapes and pulse widths by the consecutive trigger of the silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCR) of a PIC (program integrated circuit) one-chip microprocessor. The use of this technique can provide a number of advantages to people who require suitable pulse shaping for particular applications such as welding, cutting, and drilling.

In manufacturing processes, various and suitable pulse shapes are required for the purpose of material processing and the pulseshape is regarded as a dominant factor due to the specific property of processing materials. Therefore, in this study, a variable pulse width, high duty cycle Pulse Forming Network(PFN) is constructed by time sequently. The power supply for this experiment consists of three switching circuits. The PFN elements operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV leakage transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence of properly phased and nested increments. We investigated laser pulse width as various delay time among three switching circuit. As a result, we tan obtain various laser pulse width from about 4ms to 10ms. The maximum laser pulse width obtained at this experiment was about 10ms at delay time of 4ms among each switching circuit.

In order to improve ozone generation, we experimentally investigated the silent discharge plasma and ozone generation characteristics of a multi-discharge type ozonizer. Ozone in a multi-discharge type ozonizer is generated by superposition of a silent discharge plasma, which is simultaneously generated in separated discharge spaces. A multi-discharge type ozonizer is composed of three different kinds of superposed silent discharge type ozonizers, depending on the method of applying power to each electrode. We observed that the discharge period of the current pulse for a multi-discharge type ozonizer can be longer than that of silent discharge type ozonizer with two electrodes and one gap.Hence, ozone generation is improved up to 17185 ppm and 783 g/kwh for the superposed silent discharge type ozonizer for which an AC high voltages with a 180 phase difference were applied to the internal electrode and the external electrode, respectively, with the central electrode being ground

The analysis of the switch status of each unit module of a cascaded multi-level inverter reveals that the working condition of the switch of a chopper arm causes unnecessary switching under the conventional unipolar sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). With an increase in the number of cascaded multilevel inverters, the superposition of unnecessary switching gradually occurs. In this work, we propose an improved SPWM strategy to reduce switching in cascaded multilevel inverters. Specifically, we analyze the switch state of the switch tube of a chopper arm of an H-bridge unit. The redundant switch is then removed, thereby reducing the switching frequency. Unlike the conventional unipolar SPWM technique, the improved SPWM method greatly reduces switching without altering the output quality of inverters. The conventional unipolar SPWM technique and the proposed method are applied to a five-level inverter. Simulation results show the superiority of the proposed strategy. Finally, a prototype is built in the laboratory. Experimental results verify the correctness of the proposed modulation strategy.
