Using random pulse stream, a number can be transformed to the pulse stream with the probability value. So the digital value are computed by simple digital gates. Thus it will be possible to build a small and strong noise immunity processing element. We propose a faster convergence algorithm using a new methods for better performance of Random Number Generator(RNG) an the nonlinear transfer function(Sigmoid function)in this paper. And a feedback circuit were fitted for pulse stream in this paper. We proposed method is simulated with C program language and conformed by circuit implementation. Finally a system for hand written number recognition is constructed by FPGA and its performance verified.

When the energy of the nanoseconds high voltage pulse with hundreds picoseconds of the pulse rise time is emitted into the free space via an antenna, an ultra wide band electromagnetic wave is generated. This electromagnetic wave is expected to be used in transmitting vast amount of informations to far distance, high performance radars, post-packaging pasteurization of food, the detection of underground buried objects, searching of underground water veins or caves, the treatment of waste water or polluted gases and so forth. Additionally, this technology can be used in EMI(electromagnetic interference) evaluation of measuring instruments or printed circuit boards.

An L-band linear accelerator system for e-beam sterilization is under design for bio-technology application. The klystron-modulator system as RF microwave source has an important role as major components to offer the system reliability for long time steady state operation. A PFN line type pulse generator with a peak power of 71.5-MW, $7{\mu}s$, 285 pps is required to drive a high-power klystron. The high power pulse transformer has a function of transferring pulse energy from a pulsed power source to a high power load. The pulse transformer producing a pulse with a peak voltage of 275 kV is required to produce 30-MW peak and 60 kW average RF output power at the frequency of 1.3-GHz. We have designed the high power pulse transformer with 1:13 step-up ratio. The peak and average power capability is 71.5-MW (275 kV, 260 A at load side with $7{\mu}s$ pulse width) and 130 kW, respectively. In this paper, we present a system overview and initial design results of the high power pulse transformer.

In this paper, Bit selectable and Bi-directional Interface Device is described, which can communicate data with the peripheral devices. Specially, an algorithm of truth-table comparison that synthesizes the pulse-type sequential circuit pulse has been proposed to design the Interrupt Generator, and implemented in designing the Interrupt Register. Also, a description of the asynchronous design method is given to remove the clock skew phenomenon, and the output asynchronous control method which finds the optimal clock and controls all the enable signal of the output pins at the same time is presented. Using this technique interface ports have delay time of less-than 0.7ns.

This paper proposes the new type of an ion exchange water generator system. The system has an +/- ion exchange membrane located in center and a diagonal-interdigit type electrode applied to a pulsed power. This system is studied in the liquid for the oxidation/reduction potential and the dissolved oxygen concentration by the polarity effects. Consequently, as a diagonal-interdigit type electrode is installed in each side of device, the oxidation/reduction potential and dissolved oxygen concentration by polarity changes and electrical resistivity differences be observed. An ion concentration in the ion exchange water generator system is increased by dissolved oxygen generated from oxidation/reduction potential changes.

Incineration is conceptually sound as a waste treatment technology. There is, however, concern over its emissions when it is improperly designed and operated. An electrostatic precipitator is one of the most commonly used devices to control particulate emissions from boilers, incinerators and some other industrial processes. In this work, a modular electrostatic precipitator with sizing of $1m{\times}1m{\times}1m$ was developed for removal of particulate matter from the exhaust gases of a small waste incinerator. Its design was based on a simple wire-and-plate concept. The corona discharge wires were connected to a positive high-voltage pulse generator, while the collection plates were grounded. The high-voltage pulse generator was used to produce the corona discharge field between the individual discharge wire and the collection plate. The particulate-laden exhaust gas flow was directed across the corona discharge field. The charged particles were deflected outward and collected on the plate. The collection efficiency was evaluated as a mass loading ratio between the difference at the inlet and the outlet to the particulate loading at the inlet of the precipitator. The collection efficiency of this modular electrostatic precipitator design was approximately 80 %.

In this paper, the impedance characteristic of wire-plate pulsed plasma reactor was investigated by experiment. The experiment have carried out under the several conditions of voltage, wire length and wire-plate distance. The impedance of reactor wad decreased with increasing voltage and wire length. The nature of discharge in reactor was changed from streamer corona to spark with increasing incident energy, from which we understood the critical energy density between the two discharges. Fromthis experiment, we proposed the method for the impedance matching between pulse generator and pulsed plasma reactor. Additionally, we succeeded in the analysis ofstray inductance of 0.5MW reactor using EMTP (ElectroMagnetic Transients Program). This means that EMTP is also useful for the analysis of inevitable stray inductance of forthcoming a large scale reactor.

We have established a pulsed electron beam generation system with an energy of 200[keV], pulse repetition rate of 200[Hz], and several tens of [${\mu}s$] pulse width. The system is characterized by a cold cathode that is simpler than the hot cathode. Target object does not need to be scanned because of large aperture electron beam of 300[$cm^2$]. Electron source is secondary electrons that are generated when the ions from the glow discharge collide on the cathode surface. In this paper, the discharge current characteristics are investigated experimentally as a function of He gas pressure in order to obtain stable glow discharge. And computer simulations are carried out as a preliminary study for the development of low energy large aperture electron beam generator. The variation of electon beam current is investigated as a function of rising time of high voltage when 20[kV] potential is applied in 20[mTorr] pressure.

High-speed tool steels are extensively used in tooling industries for manufacturing cutting tools, forming tools, and rolls. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) has been found to be an effective process for machining these extremely hard and difficult-to-cut materials. Extensive research has been conducted to identify the optimum machining parameters for EDM with different tool steels. This paper presents a fundamental study of the surface characteristics of SKH-51 tool steel machined by micro-EDM, with particular focus on obtaining a better surface finish. An RC pulse generator was used to obtain a better surface finish as it produces fine discharge craters. The main operating parameters studied were the gap voltage and the capacitance while the resistance and other gap control parameters were kept constant. A negative tungsten electrode was used in this study. The micro-EDM performance was analyzed by atomic force microscopy to determine the average surface roughness and the distance between the highest peak and lowest valley. The topography of the machined surface was observed using a scanning electron microscope and a digital optical microscope.
