The electronic operation of the gas discharge tube is controlled by the electrical energy as sinusoidal waveform in arbitrary frequency range, or as a sequence of pulses at a wide range of duty cycle, the gas composition, the kind of electrode and the vessel geometry. In this paper, the pulsed mode operated gas discharge tube is composed with mixed gas of IIg-Ne ( 10 Torr ), in the tube of 15.0 mm outer diameter and has variable color from red to blue with changing frequency and pulse width in high voltage. As increasing pulse width and frequency in the gas discharge tube, the phenomenons that the electron temperature in the positive column increases and the radiation from atoms of higher upper state energy levels increases, exist. The color have the locus from red (0.4972, 0.3128) to blue (0.2736, 0.2619) in CIE chromacity diagram with increasing pulse width and frequency. The changing method of pulse width and frequency has been shown to be suitable for the luminous color control.

Radar signal analysis of electronic warfare is a technique for identifying a radar type by signal parameters(direction, radion frequency, pulse repetition interval, pulse width, scan period..) extracted from a received radar pulse. However as the modern radar and new threat environments is advanced, radar identification ambiguity arises in the process of identifying the types of radars. In this paper, we analyze the problems of the existing method and propose a new method. This technique determines the validity of the scan period by the difference in the arrival time of the radar pulse and the minimum number of scan period discrimination. Experiments proved that the scan cycle results are derived regardless of the RMS((Root Mean Square) of the input amplitude.

In this paper, in order to obtain the detailed information about lightning electromagnetic pulses, the electromagnetic pulses radiated from intracloud discharges were measured, and their characteristics and waveform parameters were analyzed statistically. The electromagnetic pulses produced by intracloud discharges are distinctly different with those by lightning return strokes. The zero-crossing times and the full pulse widths of the large bipolar electromagnetic pulses are gradually decreased as the stroke proceeds. Also, the electromagnetic pulses tend to be bipolar, with narrow and fast leader pulses superimposed on the initial half cycle. The mean numbers of leader pulses superimposed on the initial half cycle were 1.61$\pm$0.74 and 1.75$\pm$0.73 for the positive and negative polarities, respectively.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is used for muscle reeducation, reduction of spasticity, delay of atrophy, and muscle strengthening. FES stronger stimulation than other forms of electrical stimulation. The efficacy of FES in improving function has been substantiated in the literature. Treatment programs employing FES - activation of muscular tissue through the intact peripheral nervous system - can be broken into five major categories, according to the goal of treatment. These broad areas would include the use of FES to: (1) a direct excitation onto the alpha motoneuron, through peripheral stimulation of the Ia myotatic sensory system and ascending afferent information, which will be integrated at conscious and subconscious level of the CNS. (2) The quality of a stimulated muscle contraction is determined by combination of many parameters, including stimulus amplitude, pulse duration, stimulus frequency, and duty cycle. (3) A unit that has a pulse duration between 200 and $400{\mu}sec$ will be more than adequate for FES applications. (4) The neuromuscular plasticity is critically important to return of function using muscle re-education and facilitation applications. (5) Prior to using FES as an electrical orthosis, the patient should build up endurance in the muscles to be stimu1ated during the gait cycle.

As commercial atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes made of Si and $Si_3N_4$ have low stiffness, it is difficult to induce sufficient elastic deformation on the surface of a specimen in a tapping mode. Therefore, high-guality phase contrast images can not obtained. On the other hand, a tungsten AFM probe has relatively higher stiffness than a commercial AFM probe. Accordingly, it is expected to provide an enhanced phase contrast image, which is an effective tool for achieving a better understanding of the micromechanical properties of worn surfaces and wear mechanisms. In this study, on electrochemical etching method was optimized to fabricate tungsten probe tips for an AFM. Electrochemical etching was performed by applying pulse waves with a 20% duty cycle at various voltages instead of only a DC voltage, which has been commonly used.

A surface encoder based on the Half-shaded square pattern (HSSP) is presented. The HSSP working as reference grid is composed of the straight lines which are easy to be fabricated and make measuring time short. Since the periodic cell is separated in ON/OFF by the $45^{\circ}$ straight line, the duration from the starting point of scanning to the first rising edge and the duty cycle of the pulse train vary with respect to the position of the starting point. And the relationship between X and Y position and the duration, and duty cycle is described in the simple linear equation. Therefore, it is possible to measure X and Y position with the measured duration and duty cycle without calculating load. Through the test set-up, the feasibility of the proposed surface encoder was verified. Also the future works for improvement of performance were suggested.

비대칭 펄스 직류 반응성 스퍼터링을 이용하여 상온에서 Si(100) 기판 위에 AlN 박막을 증착하였다. 100 kHz에서 200 kHz까지 펄스 주파수의 변화 및 70%에서 90%까지 duty cycle의 변화에 따른 아크 발생과 AlN 박막의 결정성 그리고 미세 조직을 관찰하였다. Duty cycle에서 양의 펄스 유지 시간이 증가함에 따라 증착 중에 아크 발생 빈도가 현저히 감소하였고 AlN 박막의 입자 크기와 결정상의 c축 배향성이 증가하였다. 반면에 펄스 주파수 변화에 따른 아크 발생은 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았지만 전반적으로 많은 아크가 발생했다. 아크 발생 빈도가 늘어남에 따라 c축 배향성이 감소하였다. 양의 펄스 유지 시간과 펄스 주파수가 감소함에 따라 박막의 증착 속도는 증가하였으며 440$\AA$/min의 높은 증착 속도를 나타냈다.

Energy storage systems (ESSs) have been utilized widely in the world to optimize the power operation system and to improve the power quality. As lithium secondary batteries are the main power supplier for ESSs, it is very important to predict its cycle and power degradation behavior. In particular, the power, one of the hardest electrochemical properties to measure, needs lots of resources such as time and facilities. Due to these difficulties, computer modelling of lithium secondary batteries is applied to predict the DC-IR and power value during charging and discharging as a function of state of charge (SOC) by using pulse-based measurement methods. Moreover, based on the hybrid pulse power characteristics (HPPC) and J-Pulse (JEVS D 713, Japan Electric Vehicle Association Standards) methods, their electrochemical properties are also compared and discussed.

This paper presents a new ZVS-PWM high frequency inverter. The ZVS operation is achieved in the whole load range by using a simple auxiliary reverse blocking switch in parallel with series resonant capacitor. The operating principle and the operating characteristics of the new high frequency circuit treated here are illustrated and evaluated on the basis of simulation results. It was examined that the complete soft switching operation can be achieved even for low power setting ranges by introducing the high frequency dual duty cycle control scheme. In the proposed high frequency inverter treated here, the dual mode pulse modulation control strategy of the asymmetrical PWM in the higher power setting ranges and the lower power setting ones, the output power of this high frequency inverter could introduce in order to extend soft switching operation ranges. Dual duty cycle is used to provide a wide range of output power regulation that is important in many high frequency inverter applications. It is more suitable for induction heating applications the operation and control principle of the proposed high frequency inverter are described and verified through simulated results.
