SiC MOSFETs have been used to improve system efficiency in high frequency converters due to their extremely high switching speed. However, this can result in undesirable parasitic oscillations in practical systems. In this paper, models of the key components are introduced first. Then, theoretical formulas are derived to calculate the switching oscillation frequencies after full turn-on and turn-off in clamped inductive circuits. Analysis indicates that the turn-on oscillation frequency depends on the power loop parasitic inductance and parasitic capacitances of the freewheeling diode and load inductor. On the other hand, the turn-off oscillation frequency is found to be determined by the output parasitic capacitance of the SiC MOSFET and power loop parasitic inductance. Moreover, the shifting regularity of the turn-off maximum peak voltage with a varying switching speed is investigated on the basis of time domain simulation. The distortion of the turn-on current is theoretically analyzed. Finally, experimental results verifying the above calculations and analyses are presented.

In trainir~ga back-propagation neural network, the learning speed of the network is greatly affected by its learning rate. Most of off-line fashioned learning-rate selection methods, however, are empirical except for some deterministic methods. It is very tedious and difficult to find a good learning rate using the empirical methods. The deterministic methods cannot guarantee the quality of the quality of the learning rate. This paper proposes a new learning-rate selection method. Our off-line fashioned method selects a good learning rate through stochastically searching process using evolutionary programming. The simulation results show that the learning speed achieved by our method is superior to that of deterministic and empirical methods.

In this paper a new conductivity modulated power transistor called the Lateral Insulated Gated Bipolar Transistor which included n+ ring and p-channel gate is presented. A new lateral IGBT structure is proposed to suppress latch-up and to improve turn off time by imploying n+ ring and p-channel gate and verified by MEDICI. The simulated I-V characteristics at $V_{G}$=15V show that the latch up occurs at $V_{A}$=18V and 6.9$\times$10$^{-5}$ A/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for the proposed LIGBT while the conventional LIGBT latches at $V_{A}$=1.3V and 1.96${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$10$^{-5A}$${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. It is shown that turn off characteristic of new LIGBT is 8 times than that of conventional LIGBT. And noble LIGBT is not n+ buffer layer because that It includes p channel gate and n+ ring. Therefore Mask for the buffer layer isn’t needed. The concentration of n+ ring is and the numbers of n+ ring and p channel gate are three for the optimal design.n.n.n.n.

To accommodate the increasing number of mobile terminals in the limited radio spectrum, wireless systems have been designed as micro/picocellular architectures for a higher capacity. This reduced coverage area of a cell has caused a higher rate of hand-off events, and the hand-off technology for efficient process becomes a necessity to provide a stable service. Population-based Bandwidth Reservation(PBR) Scheme is proposed to provide prioritized handling for hand-off calls by dynamically adjusting the amount of reserved bandwidth of a cell according to the amount of cellular traffic in its neighboring cells. We analyze the performance of the PBR scheme according to the changes of a fractional parameter, f, which is the ratio of request reservation to the total amount of bandwidth units required for hand-off calls that will occur for the next period. The vague of this parameter, f should be determined based on QoS(Quality of Service) requirement. To meet the requirement the value of Parameter(f) must be able to be adjusted dynamically according to the changing traffic conditions. The best value of f can be determined by a function of the average speed of mobile stations, average call duration, cell size, and so on. This paper considers the average call duration and the cell size according to the speed of mobile stations. Although some difference exists as per speed, in the range of 0.4 $\leq$ f $\leq$ 0.6, Blocking Probability, Dropping Probability and Utilization show the best values.

Micro gas turbines are designed with low turbine inlet temperature and pressure ratio. To overcome the efficiency defect of the simple cycle, adoption of the recuperator is an inevitable choice. In addition to the design performance, we should also pay attention to the off-design performance of gas turbines since they usually operate at part-load conditions lot a considerable amount of their lifetime. This study analyzes off-design performance characteristics of micro gas turbines and addresses the importance of the recuperation process doting the part load operation. Comparative analyses have been performed to evaluate the part load performance differences among various design and operating options : simple vs recuperative cycles, single vs two shaft configurations, various operating strategies for the single shaft configuration, and current vs advanced engines. Major finding is that maintaining high turbine exhaust temperature is crucial for efficient operation of micro gas turbines.

In applying LCD to TV application, one of the most significant factors to be improved is image sticking on the moving picture. LCD is different from CRT in the sense that it's continuous passive device, which holds images in entire frame period, while impulse type device generate image in very short time. To reduce image sticking problem related to hold type display mode, we made an experiment to drive LCD like CRT. We made articulate images by turn on-off backlight, and we realized the ratio of Back Light on-off time by adjusting between on time and off time for video signal input during 1 frame (16.7ms). Conventional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) cannot follow fast on-off speed, so we evaluated new fluorescent substances of light source to improve residual light characteristic of CCFL. We realized articulate image generation similar to CRT by blinking drive. As a result, reduced image sticking phenomenon was validated by naked eye and response time measurement.

The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has mainly been used for making butt joints in Al alloys. Development of FSW would expand the number of applications. The FSW is a relatively solid-state joining process. This study possibility of a welding between C1020 and Al6063 by means of FSW has fundamentally clarified. The primary process parameters, such as a rotating speed, rotating direction of tool and off-set of pin periphery from materials interface were optimize, respectively.

Wind power is one of most promising renewable energy. The output capacity of large wind turbine has been increased for off-shore application. Number of installation of small wind turbine also has been increased for the stand-alone and off-grid application of remote area and recently small wind turbine equipped with lamp on the pole is used for street lamp. Maximum wind energy must be extracted by wind turbine within rated wind speed. Power must be controlled to protect the system such as blade, generator, and power system above the rated wind speed. In this paper, small wind power system of 800W rating for battery charging is implemented and output power control by furling system is verified at wind tunnel test.

In this paper, low level control algorithms of a metal belt CVT are suggested. A feedforward PID control algorithm is adopted for line pressure based on a steady state relationship between the input duty and the line pressure. Experimental results show that feedforward PID control of the line pressure guarantees a fast response while reducing the pressure undershoot which may result in belt slip. For ratio control, a fuzzy logic is suggested by considering the CVT shift dynamics and on-off characteristics of the ratio control valve. It is found from experimental results that a desired speed ratio can be achieved at steady state in spite of the fluctuating primary pressure. It is expected that the low level control algorithms for the line pressure and speed ratio suggested in this study can be implemented in a prototype CVT.

For high performance transistor in the 0.14um generation, high speed sram is using a weak region of SCE(Short Channel Effect). It causes serious SCE problem (Vth Roll-Off and Punch-Through etc). This paper shows improvement of Vth roll-off and Ion/Ioff characteristics through high concentration Pocket implant, LDD(Light Dopped Dram) and low energy Implant to reduce S/D Extension resistance. We achieve stabilized Vth and Improved transistor Ion/Ioff performance of 10%.
