Power semiconductor devices have been the major backbone for high-power electronic devices. One of important parameters in view of power semiconductor devices often characterize with a high breakdown voltage. Therefore, many efforts have been made, since the development of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), toward having higher level of breakdown voltage, whereby the typical design thereof is focused on the structure using the field ring. In this study, in an attempt to make up more optimized field-ring structure, the characteristics of the field ring were investigated with the use of theoretical arithmetic model and methodologically the design of experiments (DOE). In addition, the IGBT having the field-ring structure was designed via simulation based on the finding from the above, the result of which was also analyzed. Lastly, the current study described the trench field-ring structure taking advantages of trench-etching process having the improved field-ring structure, not as simple as the conventional one. As a result of the simulation, it was found that the improved trench field-ring structure leads to more desirable voltage divider than relying on the conventional field-ring structure.

The FLR(Field Limiting Ring) structure with a buried ring is proposed to improve breakdown voltage. The breakdown characteristics of proposed structure is verified by two-dimensional device simulator. ATLAS. It has shown that the breakdown voltage of the proposed structure is increased by 11 % compared with that of the FLR.

In this paper, thermal deformation of a double ring structure using digital image correlation technique (DIC) was measured. The double ring structure consisted of two parts; the inner ring was aluminium which had a large thermal expansion coefficient and the outer ring was titanium which had a small thermal expansion coefficient. We heated the double ring structure from $50^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$ in a chamber and at the same time, two cameras captured surface images of the double ring structure. Initially, there was a 21 ${\mu}m$ gap between the inner ring and outer ring. The gap was closed at around $80^{\circ}C$ and after that, two rings expanded together. In order to compare the experimental results with analysis results, a finite element analysis was performed using ANSYS. The results of DIC measurement and ANSYS analysis were compared and agreed well.

The experiment and FE analysis of ultimate behavior of GFRP cylindrical shell structure stiffened by steel pipe ring instead of rectangular cross-section ring was presented. Four kinds of test models were designed and flexural failure experiment was performed to investigate ultimate behavior characteristic according to the size of cross section of steel pipe ring and diameter of GFRP shell. Material properties of specimens were experimented by bending, tensile and compressive test. Displacements and strains were measured to evaluate failure behavior of steel pipe ring and GFRP shell structure. The experimental results were compared with the FEA results by commercial program ABAQUS. It is observed that GFRP shell structure stiffened by steel ring have enough ductility to bending failure, and an increase of bending rigidity of steel ring is very effective to increase of failure strength of GFRP shell structure.

A novel concept for the analysis of planar devices with a field limiting ring(FLR) is presented which allows analytic expressions in a normalized form for the potential distributions of FLR structure. Based on the method of image charges the main and ring junctions with identical cylindrical edges are kept to be two different equipotential surfaces. The potential relations between main and ring junction of the FLR structure are compared with 2-dimensional device simulation program. MEDICI. A good accordance is found. Comparisions with experimental data reported for the optimum ring spacing and the relative improvement of the breakdowm voltages in the FLR sturcture show the validity of the concept. The normalized expressions allow a universal application regardless to the junction depths and background doping levels.

We observe a structure on the products of coefficients of nilpotent polynomials, introducing the concept of n-semi-Armendariz that is a generalization of Armendariz rings. We first obtain a classification of reduced rings, proving that a ring R is reduced if and only if the n by n upper triangular matrix ring over R is n-semi-Armendariz. It is shown that n-semi-Armendariz rings need not be (n+1)-semi-Armendariz and vice versa. We prove that a ring R is n-semi-Armendariz if and only if so is the polynomial ring over R. We next study interesting properties and useful examples of n-semi-Armendariz rings, constructing various kinds of counterexamples in the process.

The new pinane derivative containing unique multifused ring system was synthesized. The crystal, molecular and electronic structure of the title compound has been determined. Both pinane ring systems have the same conformation. The five-membered oxazolidine ring exists in twisted chair conformation. The structure is expanded through O-H…O hydrogen bond to semiinfinite hydrogen-bonded chain. The bond lengths and angles in the optimised structure are similar to the experimental ones. The CH3 and CH2 groups (except this of oxazolidine ring) are negatively charged whereas the CH groups are positively charged. The largest negative potential is on the oxygen atoms. The C-N natural bond orbitals are polarised towards the nitrogen atom (ca. 61% at N) whereas the C-O bond orbitals are polarised towards the oxygen atom (ca. 67% at O). It is consistent with the charges on the nitrogen and oxygen atom of oxazolidine ring and the direction of the dipole moment vector (3.08 Debye).

In this paper, we proposed a miniaturized Balun-BPF structure using semi-lumped line The conventional Ring Balun-BPF relatively has a big size structure because they consist of two ring resonators, wide line width ring-resonators for low loss and $\lambda/4$transmission line inverters. The ring resonators are miniaturized to 1/4 size by semi-lumped line and we added triangle patches in the ring resonator for compact Balun-BPF structure. The fabricated Balun-BPF is miniaturized to 1/4 size and contains symmetrical output characteristics of balance ports.

Investigation of the structure of the gangliosides has proven to be very important in the understanding of their biological roles. We have determined the tertiary structure of asialoganglioside GM1 $(GA_1)$ using NMR spectroscopy and distance geometry calculations. All of the structures are very similar except the glycosidic torsion angles in the ring IV and ring III linkages. There are two low-energy structures for GA1, G1 and G2. G1 differs from G2 only in the IV-III glycosidic linkages and the orientation of acetamido group in ring III. There is a stable intramolecular hydrogen bond between the third hydroxyl group in ring I and the ring oxygen atom in ring II. Also, there may be a weak hydrogen bond between the second hydroxyl group in ring IV and the acetamido group in ring III. Small coupling constants of $^3J_{IH3,IOH3}\; and\; ^3J_{IVH2,IVOH2}$ support this result. Overall structural features of $(GA_1)$ are very similar to those of $(GM_1)$. It implicates that specificities of the sugar moieties in GM1 are caused not by their tertiary foldings, but mainly by the electrostatic interactions between the polar sialic acid and its receptors. Since it is evident that $(GA_1)$ is more hydrophobic than $(GA_1)$, a receptor with a hydrophobic binding site can recognize the $(GA_1)$ better than $(GA_1)$. Studies on the conformational properties of $(GA_1)$ may lead to a better understanding of the molecular basis of its functions.

Rege-Chhawchharia, and Nielsen introduced the concept of right McCoy ring, based on the McCoy's theorem in 1942 for the annihilators in polynomial rings over commutative rings. In the present note we concentrate on a natural generalization of a right McCoy ring that is called a right nilpotent coefficient McCoy ring (simply, a right NC-McCoy ring). The structure and several kinds of extensions of right NC-McCoy rings are investigated, and the structure of minimal right NC-McCoy rings is also examined.
