In this study, the efficiencies for both the angular aligned and unaligned positions of the receiver and transmitter coils of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems are examined. Some parameters of the equivalent circuit were calculated with Maxwell 3D software. The analytical solution of the circuit was calculated in MATLAB program through the composition of the system's mathematical modeling. The numerical solution of the system, however, was calculated using PSIM, which is circuit simulation software. In addition, with the use of the finite element method (FEM) in Maxwell 3D software, transient analysis of the three-dimensional system was performed. The efficiency of the system was estimated through the calculation of input and output power. The results demonstrated that power was efficiently transmitted to a certain extent in aligned and unaligned positions. The results also revealed that, for aligned positions, high efficiency with air gaps of 15-20 cm can be obtained and that the efficiency quickly dropped with air gaps of more than 20 cm. For spatially unaligned positions, it was observed that wireless power transfer could be realized with high efficiency with air gaps of up to 10 cm and that efficiency quickly dropped with air gaps of more than 10 cm.

Concrete is a most utilized material in the construction industry that have main components. The strength of concrete can be improved by adding some admixtures. Evaluating the impact of fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) on the long-term compressive strength (CS) of concrete provokes to find the significant parameters in predicting the CS, which could be useful in the practical works and would be extensible in the future analysis. In this study, to evaluate the effective parameters in predicting the CS of concrete containing admixtures in the long-term and present a fitted equation, the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) method has been used, which could find a relationship between independent and dependent variables. Next, for optimizing the output equation, biogeography-based optimization (BBO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and hybrid PSOBBO methods have been utilized to find the most optimal conclusions. It could be concluded that for CS predictions in the long-term, all proposed models have the coefficient of determination (R²) larger than 0.9243. Furthermore, MARS-PSOBBO could be offered as the best model to predict CS between three hybrid algorithms accurately.

The effect of technological innovation on the high-quality development of the producer services industry depends on whether or not technical innovation efficiency plays a key role. This study looks at the impact of technological innovation and financial technology (fintech) on the development of high-quality producer services in Fujian Province from 2010 to 2019. The efficiency of technological innovation is measured using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the Malmquist productivity index. The mean overall innovation efficiency score is 0.639, meaning that Fujian accounts for 36.1% of resource utilization inefficiencies and that there are significant differences in technological innovation efficiency between cities. The findings show that high-quality producer services industries benefited from innovation efficiency, but that the influence of technological innovation efficiency is insignificant. This demonstrates that financial innovation has not been able to completely enhance the development level of the producer services industry. This may be due to the unreasonable output structure of technological innovation and the low industrial transformation rate of technological achievements. This study advocates that the R&D fund allocation structure be optimized. That technological innovation can improve the high-quality development of the producer services industry is a consensus within the academic community.

A light-emitting diode (LED) has been increasingly applied to various industrial fields and general lightings because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, environment-friendly characteristic and long lifetime. To drive the LED lighting, a power converter with the constant output current is needed. Among many power converters, the flyback converter is chosen by many converter designers due to high power density, structural simplicity, and miniaturization. In this converter, an electrolytic capacitor is generally chosen for the stabilization of the DC voltage because of having the large capacitance and the low price. However, the disadvantages are the short expected life time and 120Hz ripple currents on the converter output node. In this paper, a single-stage dimmable PFC DCM flyback converter without the electrolytic capacitor is proposed to prolong the lifetime of the LED driver. For the long lifetime of the converter, the polyester film capacitor with the small capacitance is substituted for the electrolytic capacitor on the output node and an LC resonant filter is added to damp 120Hz ripple current. The proposed converter is verified through the simulation and the experimental works.

Sunlight makes it possible to adjust scale of electric power easily as a electric energy without air pollution. Solar cell to convert the sunlight to the electric energy has DC output which is influenced on temperature and irradiation time. Conversion of DC output from the solar cell to AC is necessary due to the fact that most loads to be used currently are compatible with AC generally. In the present work, Two-phase chopper system with two seperate groups to obtain two identical DC is used to preserve the energy from the solar cell in two battery. They are controlled to be operated around maximum output of the solar cell under the condition of constant voltage. Photovoltaic system with DC${\rightarrow}$AC conversion is also investigated for big capacity and two seperated electric power using two separate inverter.

The key of this study is the technical development to maximize electric energy production through PV generation system. Under a conventional MPPT control method, both input voltage and input current coming out from PV array had to be feed backed. Then, the system has complex structure and may fail to track Maximum Power Point of PV array when weather conditions changed urgently. A PV output senseless MPPT control for PV generation system is possible to solve the mentioned above. The best advantage is that the current flowing into load is the only one considerable factor. In case of a huge photovoltaic generation system, it can be operated much more safely than a conventional system. In this paper, a novel PV output senseless MPPT control for the PV generation system was proposed and applied to the manufactured system and the experimental results were shown. Authors are sure that it is the most useful method to maximize power from photovoltaic system with only a feedback of load current.

Since the residential load is an AC load and the output of solar cell is a DC Power, the photovoltaic system needs the DC/AC converter to utilize solar cell. In case of driving to interact with utility line, in order to operate at unity power factor, converter must provide the sinusoidal wave current and voltage with same phase of utility line. Since output of solar cell is greatly fluctuated by insolation. it is necessary that the operation of solar cell output in the range of the vicinity of maximum power point. In this paper DC/AC converter is three phase PWM converter with smoothing reactor. And then, feedforward control used to obtain a superior characteristic for current control and digital PLL circuit used to detect the phase of utility line.

The purpose of this study is to estimate total factor productivity(TFP) growth by stochastic frontier function and to grasp contributing factors of its growth rate by decomposing the total factor productivity into efficiency change, technical progress, scale change, and allocation change. Annual growth rate of total factor productivity for 1990-2003 is 0.019 (1.9%), higher than that of overall industry (0.010). The main component of TFP growth is not efficiency change but technical progress. Contributing factors of total factor productivity growth are change of allocation efficiency in port industry, technical progress in sea-transportation industry, and change of scale efficiency in transportation-equipment industry. The change of total factor productivity shows a decreasing trend since late in the 1990s. The annual technical efficiency of port-logistics industry is less than that of overall industry. Capital elasticity for output (0.391) is higher than labor elasticity (0.227), but scale economy of port-logistics industry is 0.618, which is far from optimal scale economy.

There are many test parameters in the DTV measurement, which uses several test measuring instruments and miscellaneous devices. To operate all of those devices and analyse test results is a tedious and time-consuming process with a high error rate committed by inexperienced test crews. In this paper, we propose an integrated DTV measurement and analysis system(IMAS) that remotely controls and manages any instruments with standard network interface. This system can take, organize, store the field data into an integrated database and easily produce systematic output according to user-defined form. It can also measure several types of digital broadcasting signals such as DTV, DMB, DAB with generalized measurement procedures. Proposed measurement system was applied in the DTV field test by KBS and proved that it could enhance the accuracy and efficiency of entire test sequences and also dramatically reduce measurement time compared to conventional measurement systems.
