A phase-shift full-bridge converter is widely used conventional converter. If the input power change in the variation of the output voltage, there is a time interval freewheeling according to a duty change. This is a factor of reducing the efficiency. In this paper, we propose a method for improving the efficiency of the converter/inverter systems that require high efficiency in the ESS. The proposed method was used for the duty control for solving the fail problem ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) in Freewheeling interval. The proposed method was verified by experiments.

The paucity of pilot signals in Massive MIMO system is a vital issue. To accommodate substantial number of users, pilot signals are reused. This leads to interference, resulting in pilot contamination and degrades channel estimation at the Base Station (BS). Hence, mitigation of pilot contamination is exigency in Massive MIMO system. The proposed Time Shifted Pilot Signal Transmission with Pilot signal Hopping (TSPTPH), addresses the pilot contamination issue by transmitting pilot signals in non-overlapping time interval with hopping of pilot signals in each transmission slot. Hopping is carried by switching user to new a pilot signal in each transmission slot, resulting in random change of interfering users. This contributes to the change in channel coefficient, which leads to improved channel estimation at the BS and therefore enhances the efficiency of Massive MIMO system. In this system, Uplink Signal Power to Interference plus Noise Power Ratio (SINR) and data-rate are calculated for pilot signal reuse factor 1 and 3, by estimating the channel with Least Square estimation. The proposed system also reduces the uplink Signal power for data transmission of each User Equipment for normalized spectral efficiency with rising number of antennas at the BS and thus improves battery life.

Fluctuating wind conditions necessitate the use of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) with a AC/DC/AC converter scheme in order to harvest the maximum power from the wind and to decouple the synchronous generator voltage and frequency from the grid voltage and frequency. In this paper, a combination of a three phase diode bridge rectifier (DBR) and a modified topology of the diode clamped multilevel inverter (DCMLI) has been considered as an AC/DC/AC converter. A control strategy has been proposed for the DCMLI to achieve the objective of grid interface of a wind power system together with local load compensation. A novel fixed frequency current control method is proposed for the DCMLI based on the level shifted multi carrier PWM for achieving the required control objectives with equal and uniform switching frequency operation for better control and thermal management with the modified DCMLI. The condition of the controller gain is derived to ensure the operation of the DCMLI at the fixed frequency of the carrier. The converter current injected into the distribution grid is controlled in accordance with the wind power availability. In addition, load compensation is performed as an added facility in order to free the source currents being fed from the grid of harmonic distortion, unbalance and a low power factor even though the load may be unbalanced, non-linear and of a poor power factor. The results are validated using PSCAD/EMTDC simulation studies.

Surface crosslinked chitosan composite membranes were prepared with glutaraldehyde and surfuric acid. Effects of neutralization for complex between chitosan and acetic acid and of water permeability for substrate membranes on pervaporation performance were investigated. For ionically crosskinked membranes, effect of active layer thickness on separation factor of water/ethanol mixture was studied. With increasing the water permeability of the substrate, the membrane showed an increased separation factor, while it maintained a constant permeate flux. Neutralized chitosan composite membranes revealed a decreased separation factor and a constant permeate flux. When the thickness of the active layer increased, an optimum crosslinking time to achieve higher separation factor shifted to a prolonged times.

Industrial reducer is in general use to Deck Crane. High-precision and high-efficient reducer is minimized the power-loss and energy-loss of a machine. So it contribute the price reduction and life extension. Reducer is usually using the Planetary gear reducer. Planetary gear reducer is composed the sun gear, planet gear, internal gear and casing. Industrial reducer's wear and breakage have a short-life. To solve this problem, it is using the profile-shifted-gear or tooth modification. This study was carried out the effect of addendum modification coefficient on tooth fillet bending strength to planetary reducer. Tooth fillet bending stress is calculate. And all parameter were expressed the function of addendum modification coefficient. And then stress concentration factor of tooth fillet curve was express the function of addendum modification coefficient using comparison between theory and finite element analysis.

Effects of the addition of Cr adhesion layer to $W/SiO_2$ multilayer Bragg reflectors on the resonance characteristics of film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) devices are presented. Main resonance peaks could be significantly shifted to higher frequency, mainly due to the addition of Cr adhesion layer to multilayer Bragg reflectors and control of the bottom electrode thickness as well. The FBAR devices with the Cr adhesion layer in Bragg reflectors could result in much more improved resonance characteristics at about 3 GHz in terms of return loss and Q-factor.

Bicarbonate anion ($HCO_3{^-}$) takes the role of major buffer systems in our body by maintaining the pH at 7.4. Epithelial $HCO_3{^-}$ secretion also hydrolyzes the mucus which protects body from noxious infections. It has been widely known that such infections are closely related to $HCO_3{^-}$ permeability through membrane and, thus, increasing the $HCO_3{^-}$ permeability is essential. To evaluate the $HCO_3{^-}$ permeability through ion channels, the free energy changes relevant to ion pumping are calculated with the Integral Equation Formalism-PCM (IEF-PCM) theory. Molecular structures of various anions including $HCO_3{^-}$ were optimized with the density functional theory at the level of B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) in gas and solution phase. In addition, the anion permeability is significantly influenced by the relative size of the anion and pore. We introduce a shifted volume factor model that describes the pore size effect when the charged solutes transfer through ion channels. We found excellent agreement between experimental and calculated permeability when our novel model of the size effect was taken into account to.

For the piezoelectric transformer application, Pb(Sb$\_$1/2/ Nb$\_$1/2/)O$_3$-Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$ ceramics were produced by attrition milling. Microstructural, dielectric and piezoelectric characteristics of the ceramics were investigated as a function of milling time. The particle size and grain size decreased while dielectric constant, density and mechanical quality factor (Q$\_$m/) increased with milling time. Temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCf$\_$r/) was shifted to positive side with increasing milling time. The attrition milling process proved to be one of the effective routes to produce transformers for high power application.

This paper describes a fuzzy-based system for analyzing the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of three-dimensional (3D) cracks. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-coded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The singular elements such that the mid-point nodes near crack front are shifted at the quarter-points, and these are automatically placed along the 3D crack front. The complete finite element(FE) model is generated, and a stress analysis is performed. The SIFs are calculated using the displacement extrapolation method. To demonstrate practical performances of the present system, semi-elliptical surface cracks in a inhomogeneous plate subjected to uniform tension are solved.
