Many research works for improving a boundary lubrication performance have been executed by using solid lubricants, and been tried to apply an engine lubrication. However those general lubricants have not been applied on engines due to the extreme conditions such as very high temperature and pressure during combustion process in a cylinder. In this study a lubricant containing copper alloy nano-powder is applied on a diesel engine driven by an electric motor. Torques and shaft vibrations are measured, then an engine friction loss and rotating stability are assessed. The results show that the frequency of the vibration is about the same as that of a general lubricant, but the amplitudes in the both X and Y direction are reduced as well as the friction loss is reduced.

A high speed address recovery technique for AC plasma display panel(PDP) is proposed. Replacing GND switch by clamping diode. the recovery speed can be increased by saving GND hold-time and switching loss due to GND switch also becomes also be reduced. The proposed method is able to perform load-adaptive operation by controlling the voltage level of energy recovery capacitor, which prevents increasing inefficient power consumption caused by circuit loss during recovery operation. Test results with 50' HD single-scan PDP(resolution = 1366$\times$768) show that less than 3sons of recovery time is successfully accomplished and about$54\%$ of the maximum power consumption can be reduced, tracing minimum power consumption curves.

A new Pareto-optimal design algorithm, requiring least computational work, is proposed for a single phase AC solenoid actuator with multi-design-objectives: maximizing holding force and minimizing eddy current loss simultaneously. In the algorithm, the design space is successively reduced by a suitable factor, as iteration repeats, with the center of pseudo-optimal point. At each iteration, the objective functions are approximated to a simple second-order response surface with the CCD sampling points generated within the reduced design space, and Pareto-optimal solutions are obtained by applying($1+{\lambda}$) evolution strategy with the fitness values of Pareto strength.

This paper is concerned with the effects of periodically approaching upstream wakes on cascade-flow and loss. The reduced frequency of the periodic wakes was varied in the narrow range from 0.5 to 0.7 Corresponding to a wake-passing through the cascade, two velocity deficits appeared near the boundary layer contour in the downstream from about 60% chord-length. The first velocity deficit was caused by a periodic wake and the second one appeared after some delayed time. The second velocity deficit was interpreted as the results of reattachment of flow-separation. The higher reduced frequency decreased the duration time of separation appearance and the lesser losses of blade were resulted.

This paper presents frequency modulation method of zero-voltage-transition interleaved DC/DC converter using auxiliary coupled-inductor. In conventional ZVT interlaved converter without semi-conductor devices in auxiliary circuit, the peak-to-peak value of coupled-inductor current has fixed value despite the change of load current. Then, as the load is reduced, the efficiency is reduced because of the conduction loss. The proposed frequency modulation method can reduce the conduction loss by controlling the current of coupled-inductor as the load condition using frequency modulation. The proposed method is verified by experimental results.

AC loss on variation of external magnetic field is a very important factor in development of power applications. In this paper, we measured and compared AC loss of hybrid-multi stacked wire made of the combination of 1G wires and 2G wires and uniform-multi-stacked wire made of one type of wires, 1G wires or 2G wires. Measurement was performed using by the linked-picked coil method. As results, as the number of wires increase, AC loss per unit volume of both stacked wires in low external magnetic field is reduced. Also AC loss of 2G slacked wire is higher than that of 1G wire. AC loss per unit length of 2G stacked wire is less than that of 1G stacked wire. And AC loss of hybrid-multi stacked wire made of the combination of 1G wires and 2G wires was between uniform-multi-stacked wire made of 1G wires and 2G wires.

In this paper, efficiency and loss characteristics of GaN FET were reported by applying it into the QR flyback converter. In particular, for the comparison of efficiency characteristics, QR flyback converter experimental circuits with Si FET and with GaN FET were separately produced in 12W class. As a result of the experiment, the experimental circuit of the QR flyback converter using GaN FET reached a high efficiency of 90% or more when the load power was 2W or more, and the maximum efficiency was observed to be about 92%, and the maximum loss power was about 1.1W. Meanwhile, the efficiency of the experimental circuit with Si FET increased as the input voltage increased, and the maximum efficiency was observed to be about 82% when the load power was 9W or higher, and the maximum loss power was about 2.8W. From the results, it is estimated that that in the case of the experimental circuit applying the GaN FET switch, the power conversion efficiency was improved as the switching loss and conduction loss due to on-resistance were reduced, and the internal loss due to the synchronous rectifier was minimized. Consequently, it is concluded that the GaN FET is suitable for under 20W class power supply unit as a high efficiency power switch.

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the non-contact power transmission method of magnetic gears. Since there is no mechanical contact, noise caused by friction can be reduced, and even if a sudden large force is applied, the impact of the gear is close to zero. Further, since the power is transmitted by the magnetic flux, it has high reliability. However, there is a problem that a loss due to a magnetic field due to use of a magnetic flux. The loss caused by the magnetic field of the magnetic gear is a joule loss called eddy current loss. In addition, the eddy current loss in the magnetic gear largely occurs in the permanent magnet, but it is a fatal loss to the permanent magnet which is vulnerable to heat. Particularly, magnetic gears requiring high torque density use NdFeB series permanent magnets, and this permanent magnets have a characteristic in which the magnetic force decreases as temperature increases. Therefore, in this paper, the eddy current loss of the permanent magnet according to the permanent magnet attaching method is analyzed in order to reduce the eddy current loss of the permanent magnet. We have proposed a structure that can reduce the eddy current loss through the analysis and show the effect of reducing the loss of the proposed structure.

The present study has been performed to evaluate Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis) heat shock protein(HSP)60 as a candidate vaccine to inhibit multiple bacteria-induced alveolar bone loss. Rats were immunized with P.gingivalis HSP60 and experimental alveolar bone loss was induced by infection with multiple periodonto -pathogenic bacteria. Post-immune rat anti-P.gingivalis HSP IgG levels were significantly elevated and have demonstrated highly significant inverse relationship with the amount of alveolar bone loss induced by multiple bacteria. Results from PCR detection of subgingival bacterial plaque indicated that the vaccine successfully eradicated the multiple pathogenic species. We concluded that P.gingivalis HSP60 could potentially be developed as a vaccine to inhibit periodontal disease induced by multiple pathogenic bacteria.

This paper investigates the use of boundary element method(BEM) to analyze the insertion loss of a noise barrier. To begin with the validity of the BEm for the analysis of noise barrier insertion loss in checked by both Lam's theoretical method and the measurements in the anechoic chamber for the scale-down models. Through simulation it is shown that using 2D BEM model is sufficient to the analysis for the barrier with large ratio of length to height. By using 2D BEM model the insertion loses are predicted for the real noise barriers in several cases which are the case that they are built parallel on both roadsides the one that there are multiple sound sources and the one that there is a gap between a concrete structure and a barrier plate.
