Electrical current always travels through the minimum resistance path. In this paper, we are studied on the direction and formation of carbonized conductive path according to surface leakage between electrodes. The analysis of characteristics of the arc discharge as surface is broken down between exposed live parts. Using the HSIS(high speed imaging system, 100,000fps, redlake ltd., USA), it took photographs by arc growth mechanism occurred in on/off surge, ground fault and discharge between electrodes. Therefore, it recommended for results of technology development and application such as theoretic verification of an arc direction and economic security according to a technology about connecting arc generation in surfaces of insulators. Hereafter, it expected effects that application of energy utility technology through the arc control.

Zn-air battery uses oxygen from the air, and hence, air holes in it are kept open for cell operation. Therefore, loss of water by evaporation through the holes is inevitable. When the water is depleted, the battery ceases to operate. There are two water consumption routes in Zn-air batteries, namely, active path (electrolysis) and passive path (evaporation and corrosion). Water loss by the active path (electrolysis) is much faster than that by the passive path during the early stage of the cycles. The mass change by the active path slows after 10 h. In contrast, the passive path is largely constant, becoming the main mass loss path after 10 h. The active path contributes to two-thirds of the electrolyte consumption in 24 h of cell operation in 4.0 M KOH. Although water is an important component for the cell, water vapor does not influence the cell operation unless the water is nearly depleted. However, high oxygen concentration favors the discharge reaction at the cathode.

We have compared 2-D and 3-D fluid simulation results of alternating current plasma display panel (AC-PDP) cell with experimentally measured two kinds of excited Xe species $Xe^{\ast}(^{3}P_{1})$ and $Xe^{\ast}(^{3}P_{2})$ characteristics. Although direct experimental access and diagnostics of the discharge in a PDP cell is problematic due to the small cell size, some of experimental technologies have made it possible to diagnose the behavior of excited Xe species [1, 2]. The simulation shows the similar characteristics to the experimental results in the excited Xe species density distribution and the number of excited Xe atoms in anode and cathode region. In certain cases, we obtained the arch-shaped discharge path between two sustain electrodes due to the additional pulse applied to address electrode analogous to experiment. This long path discharge induced higher luminous and discharge efficiency compared to the standard case.

According to the previous studies which was done by the author, the flashover voltage was found to be increased considerably if some metallic barriere are inserted into the flashover discharge path. This paper shows that the flashover voltage in suspension insulators and bushings is raised up by the application of metallic barrier effect on surface discharge. Using moderate metallic barrier configulation the flash over voltage can be raised up by the amount of about 15% compared to that of the convensional type of suspension insulatiors and bushings.

To increase the luminance and luminous efficacy in the discharge for alternating current plasma display panel (ac PDP), the increment of Xe contents and long discharge gap are necessary. However, the driving voltage and the cost of driving circuit increases in the high Xe contents and long discharge path condition. In this paper, a long gap ITO hump electrode (LGH) model for discharge cells of ac PDP is evaluated in the various Xe contents($5{\sim}20%$). The discharge voltage of LGH structure is lower about 30V than that of ITa reference structure with same main discharge gap. The LGH structure has lower power consumption and higher luminance than those of reference structure, respectively. Also, the luminous efficacy of LGH structure is higher about 20% than that of ITO reference structure in the 20% Xe contents.

Although different types of discharge cells exist, in common it is the primary goal for all discharge cells to have lower drive voltages and higher efficiency characteristics. To improve these factors, many studies are conducted that prolong the discharge path inside the discharge cell or change the composition of the working gas. In this paper, the two-dimensional fluid simulation was used to calculate the discharge voltage (firing voltage and sustain voltage) and the change in luminance and luminous efficacy according to the change in gap distance between discharge electrodes. In addition, we looked at changes in various charged particles, exciting particles and VUV particles, and studied the causes of the resulting values.

A numerical study was made to choose the better turbulence model for the flow in the discharge flow path from a diffuser to a wall. In this study standard $\kappa-\epsilon$ model(SKE), RNG $\kappa-\epsilon$ model(RNG), and Reynolds stress model(RSM) were applied. In case of the flow with relatively high Reynolds number at a diffuser inlet, the pressure loss coefficients by RNG have a tendency to be near to those by SKE at small ratio(below about 0.35) of $h/D_o$, but to those by RSM at large ratio(above about 0.35). At large ratio RNG begins to enlarge the effects of rapid strain and streamline curvature. RNG & RSM are recommended as the appropriate turbulence models for this case. But it is noticeable that the velocity gradient pattern in RNG is same as in SKE, and also that the total pressure distribution in RNG is same as in RSM only at swirling flow area, same as in SKE only at main flow area.

It is necessary to determine the vibration source and its transmission paths in order to develop a low-noise compressor. Through the use of multiple-input/single-output(MISO) mode1, the transmission paths of vibration within a reciprocating compressor have been investigated. In order to identify the transmission path, we measure the accelerations of the block and transverse vibrations of the line discharge tube. As outputs, vibrations of compressor shell were measured at three positions; cylinder head, one near the suction line, and the top of upper shell. The partial coherence function and transfer function are obtained ken the measured data, and the results are observed in order to determine vibration source and its influence on the shell vibration.

In this study, we redesigned the reliable integrated on-panel display gate driver that was equipped with dual pull-down as well as controlled discharge-path structure to reduce the high voltage stress effect and realized with TSMC 0.35 um CMOS-based technology before. An improved discharge path and a low noise design are proposed for our new a-Si TFT process implementation. Our novel reliable gate driver design can make each cell of shift register to be insensitive to the coupling noise of that stage.
