A TRIAC dimmable LED driver with a wide tuning range and a two-stage uniform dimming scheme is proposed in this paper. To solve the restricted dimming range problem caused by the limited conduction ratio of TRIAC dimmers, a conduction ratio compensation technique is introduced, which can increase the output current up to the rated output current when the TRIAC dimmer turns to the maximum conduction ratio. For further optimization, a two-stage uniform dimming diagram with a rapid dimming curve and a slow dimming curve is designed to make the LED driver regulated visually uniform in the whole adjustable range of the TRIAC dimmer. The proposed control chip is fabricated in a TSMC $0.35{\mu}m$ 5V/650V CMOS/LDMOS process, and verified on a 21V/500mA circuit prototype. The test results show that, in the 90V/60Hz~132V/60Hz ac input range, the voltage linear regulation is 2.6%, the power factor is 99.5% and the efficiency is 83%. Moreover, in the dimming mode, the dimming rate is less than 1% when the maximum dimming current is 516mA and the minimum dimming current is only about 5mA.

When concentration of vacancies in a CZ silicon crystal is defined by molar fraction XB, the degree of super-saturation $\sigma$ is given by [XB-XBS]/XBS=XB/XBS-1=ln (XB/XBS) because XB/XBS is nearly equal to unity. Here, XBS is the saturated concentration of vacancies in a silicon crystal and XB is a little larger than XBS. According to Bragg-Williams approximation, the chemical potential of the vacancies in the crystal is given by ${\mu}$B=${\mu}$0+RT ln XB+RT ln ${\gamma}$, where R is the gas constant, T is temperature, ${\mu}$0 is an ideal chemical potential of the vacancies and ${\gamma}$ is an adjustable parameter similar to the activity of solute in a solution. Thus, $\sigma$(T) is equal to (${\mu}$B-${\mu}$BS)/RT. Driving force of nucleation of the vacancy agglomeration will be proportional to the chemical potential difference (${\mu}$B-${\mu}$BS) or $\sigma$(T), while growth of the vacancy agglomeration is proportional to diffusion of the vacancies and grad ${\mu}$B.

The electro-hydraulic servo winch system built in a automatic tension control equipment was designed with a latent need for an advanced system in fishing operations of the inshore and coastal fishing vessels. In order to keep the constant tension condition of warp under loading, a tension control circuit was added to the servo winch system.The dynamic performance in the open loop behaviour of the designed winch system was investigated and its applicability was tested for various possibilities of load using a load generator especially developed in order to this study.The mechanical characteristics of this system is different from that of a conventional type, that is, the tension, length, line speed and drum revolution can be automatically controlled by the information from various sensors, such as torque, rpm and pressure transducers. from the experiment results, it was verified that the servo winch system has very good output and tracking behaviour for the control input signals in different operating conditions though overshoot of out 8% in the transient characteristics of torque under the load though a overshoot of about 8% in the transient characteristics of torque under the load condition can be observed when the opening of servo valve, adjustable by the input voltage between - 10 V up to 10 V, changed suddenly.Consequently, the improved fishing winch system can be effectively used as the automatic shooting and hauling equipment of low cost for small inshore and coastal fishing vessels which engage in net fishing.

When concentration of vacancies in a CZ silicon crystal is defined by molar fraction $X_{B}$, the degree for supersaturation $\sigma$ is given by $[X_{B}-X_{BS}]/X_{BS}=X_{B}/X_{BS}-1=ln(X_{B}/X_{BS})$ because $X_{B}/X_{BS}$ is nearly equal to unity. Here, $X_{BS}$ is the saturated concentration of vacancies in a silicon crystal and $X_{B}$ is a little larger than $X_{BS}$. According to Bragg-Williams approximation, the chemical potential of the vacancies in the crystal is given by ${\mu}_{B}={\mu}^{0}+RT$ ln $X_{B}+RT$ ln ${\gamma}$, where R is the gas constant, T is temperature, ${\mu}^{0}$ is an ideal chemical potential of the vacancies and ${\gamma}$ is and adjustable parameter similar to the activity of solute in a solute in a solution. Thus, ${\sigma}(T)$ is equal to $({\mu}_{B}-{\mu}_{BS})/RT$. Driving force of nucleation for the vacancy agglomeration will be proportional to the chemical potentialdifference $({\mu}_{B}-{\mu}_{BS})/RT$ or ${\sigma}(T)$, while growth of the vacancy agglomeration is proportaional to diffusion of the vacancies and grad ${\mu}_{B}$.

In this paper, the T-SRR (Triple Split Ring Resonator) using MNG (mu-Negative) meta-material adapted in a low-loss bandpass filter with 3-stages is suggested. The size of the T-SRR in the proposed bandpass filter with low dielectric constant PCB can be easily controlled. And the ${\lambda}/4$ transmission line theory is applied. The proposed T-SRR and filter have the center frequency of 10 GHz with QL value of 184 for military-satellite communication system in I band. The experimental results of the filter show that the insertion and return losses are 1.44 dB and 17.3 dB with bandwidth of 10 %, respectively. The proposed filter will be redesigned by IPD material etc. should be placed here. These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for JICCE.

In this paper, an inverted-triangle patch UWB antenna with an uneven ground planes and an inverted T-slot for 5 GHz WLAN band rejection is presented. The operating bandwidth of the proposed antenna fed with the CPW line is expanded from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz for about -10 dB return loss using three angular parameters correlated to the main patch and the ground plane. The fabricated antenna on Taconic RF-60A substrate with 6.16 relative dielectric constant and 0.64 mm thickness has a main antenna patch size of 36 mm${\times}$19.5 mm. The measured results show return losses of about -10 dB and nearly omni-directional radiation patterns. The proposed UWB antenna has advantages of easily adjustable impedance characteristics by the three angular parameters and easily accomplishable band rejection characteristics by the inverted T-slot.

In this paper, the characteristics of cable logging systems, of which skyline length is adjustable during operation are discussed from a standpoint of system geometry. Among the cable logging systems, the live skyline is the typical one, of which operation is easy to understand. To analyze the cable logging mechanics of the live skyline, computer models were developed. In developing the computer models, the concept of the live skyline operation was classified into 'true live skyline' and 'live skyline with lift'. The former assumes to adjust skyline length continuously to maintain the skyline clearance over ground constant during inhaul ; the latter assumes to shorten the skyline length only to keep the minimum skyline clearance during inhaul. The computer model was used in investigating the mechanical efficiency and the operational characteristics of the live skyline system. First, the payload capability of live skyline was compared with that of standing skyline. Second, the effect of the change in the log-drag geometry on the payload capability of live skyline was investigated. Finally, the payload capability of live skyline with lift was compared with that of true live skyline as an effort to explain the concepts of true live skyline and live skyline with lift.

In this work, high pressure binary phase equilibria data of carbon dioxide and isopropyl alcohol were obtained by experiment. A static type experimental apparatus was made to measure temperature, pressure and phase equilibria composition. The experimental apparatus was tested by comparing the measured phase equilibria data of the carbon dioxide-isopropyl alcohol system at $80^{\circ}C$ with those of Rodosz. The binary phase behavior data of carbon dioxide-isopropyl alcohol system were measured in range of 41 to 133 bar and at temperatures of 40, 60, 80, 100 and $120^{\circ}C$. The solubility of isopropyl alcohol increases as the temperatures increases at constant pressure. Also, these carbon dioxide-alcohol solute system have critical-mixture curves that exhibit maxima in pressure at temperatures between the critical temperatures of carbon dioxide and isopropyl alcohol. The experimental data obtained in this study were modeled using the statistical associating fluid theory(SAFT) equation of state. A good fit of the data was obtained with SAFT using two adjustable parameters for the carbon dioxide-isopropyl alcohol system.

Brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM) doesn't use brush and slip ring, and has advantages such as high system reliability, small capacity of its frequency converter, low system cost, adjustable power factor and speed, etc. At the same time, it has good applicable potentials on the variable frequency motors and the variable speed constant frequency generators. However, due to the complicacy and particularity of BDFM in the structure and operating mechanism, the effect of magnetic field modulation directly influences the operating efficiency of BDFM. To study the effect of different cage rotor structures on the magnetic field modulation of BDFM, the rotor magnetomotive force (MMF) of BDFM with cage rotor is studied by the analytical method. The components and features of rotor harmonic MMFs are discussed. At the same time, the method to weaken the higher harmonics is analyzed by the theoretic formulae. Furthermore, the magnetic field modulation mechanism is expounded on in detail and the relationship between the magnetic field modulation effect and the operating efficiency of BDFM is established. And then, a new method for estimating the magnetic field modulation effect is proposed. At last, the magnetic field modulation effects of four BDFM prototypes with different cage rotor structures are compared by the MMF analysis and the efficiency data of electromagnetic design. The results verify the effectiveness of the new method for estimating the magnetic field modulation effect of BDFM with cage rotor.

A low-crested structure (LCS) is an excellent feature not only because it provides shore protection but also because it is fully submerged. However, in order to properly control waves, it is necessary to maintain a certain range of crest height and width in consideration of the wave dimensions at the installation area. According to previous studies, an LCS has some wave breaking effect when the crest width is more than a fourth of the incident wavelength and the crest depth is less than a third of the incident wave height. In other words, if the crest width of the LCS is small or the crest depth is large, it cannot control the wave. Therefore, when an LCS is installed in a large sea area with a great tidal range in consideration of the landscape, waves cannot be blocked at high tide. In this study, the hydraulic performances of a typical trapezoidal LCS with a constant crest height and a low-crested structure with an adjustable crest height, which was called a tide-adapting low-crested structure (TA-LCS) in this study, were compared and evaluated under various wave conditions through hydraulic experiments. It was found that the wave transmission coefficients of the TA-LCS at high tide were lower than the values for the typical LCS based on empirical formulas. In addition, the hydraulic performances of the TA-LCS for wave reflection control were 12.9?30.4% lower than that of the typical LCS. Therefore, the TA-LCS is expected to be highly effective in controlling the energy of incoming waves during high tide even in a macro-tidal area.
