Medical equipment of high frequency has been presently applied to various parts of human body and novel treatment effects have been shown by it. Recently there are many cases that high frequency apparatus has been used in dermatology as the interest in beauty has been growing. Especially used in skin, blood volume is increased by keeping surface temperature of skin at around $43^{\circ}C$ and domodex folliculorum are treated by applying high electric field. It is the aspect we consider that increasing blood volume and domodex folliculorum treatment take effect on hair loss. In this study, high frequency electrotherapy apparatus was proposed to be applied to hair loss treatment. For that, human body was experimented with varying output voltage and frequency. The adjustable switching signal for treatment was obtained from 100[kHz] to 1000[kHz] by using DSP. Stable output specific was also obtained by feedback control to protect human body. The best hair growth conditions were the output voltage of 1.2[kV], the frequency of near 300[kHz] and the maximum current of 2[mA]. We apply this high frequency electrotherapy apparatus to two bald men, 46-year-old and 45-year-old. After treatment for a month they had thick and strong hair.

Recently, it has become more competitive to take larger market share among domestic companies manufacturing high-power apparatus. Unfortunately, the size of total market in this field is being smaller than before because the business of transmission and distribution of electric power is being shifted from government control to private management. To save this situation, we are trying to develop new high-voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear for export such as 245kV GIS and 300kV GIS. It is very important to make GIS compact size to have international competitiveness against European companies. By reducing GIS's dimensions same as 170kV class, we expect to launch abroad successfully. Many factors should be considered to achieve good performance during short-circuit making-breaking. Analysis on cold gas flow is one method widely used to evaluate small-current interruption. Through this analysis, we can examine the dielectric characteristics at the weak points in the circuit-breaker. In this paper, we describe the results of cold-gas flow analyses on 245kV and 300kV circuit-breakers.

In this study, the BaTiO$\sub$3/ capacitor add to MnO$\sub$2/ like depressor and shifter were investigated for temperature or voltage compensation by structural and electrical analysis. The relative density of BCTM, generating poly crystall and formation of lattice defect, has a 90[%] over as the CaTiO$\sub$3/ come out to control grain size. The current density of BCTM2 increased non-ohmic in high-electric field but that BCTM3 and BCTM4 had a few changing. The BCTM3 and BCTM4 unformated grain boundary shown temperature compensation properties, so that the dielectric constant was low value. The curie point was near 140[.deg. C] in BCTM1 and BCTM4, but BCTM3 and BCTM4 not shown the curie point. It is found that the charging energy of BCTM4 was changed 6[%] according to rising temperature from room temperature to 417[K]. The formation of BaMnO$\sub$3/ was low dielectric constant to change frequency and temperature.

An electrically controllable fiber Bragg grating inscribed in a hydrogen-loaded standard single-mode fiber with liquid-crystal cladding is presented. Control of the optic axis of liquid crystals by means of external electric fields results in the change of reflectivity and Bragg wavelength of the grating. The increase of surrounding refractive index of a fiber makes effective refractive index of a propagation mode higher, which results in high field confinement and longer Bragg wavelength. The reduction of the fiber diameter by chemical etching process improves the long-range ordering of liquid-crystal molecules and reduces controlling voltage. The tunable ranges of reflectivity and Bragg wavelength of the liquid crystal-cladding fiber Bragg grating were $\~4.6dB\;and\;\~0.3nm$, respectively.

Recently, solar power generation shows the significant growth in the renewable energy field. Using the short-term prediction, it is possible to control the electric power demand and the power generation plan of the auxiliary device. However, a short-term prediction can be used when you know the weather forecast. If it is not possible to use the weather forecast information because of disconnection of network at the island and the mountains or for security reasons, the accuracy of prediction is not good. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a system capable of short-term prediction of solar power generation amount by using only the weather information that has been collected by oneself. We used temperature, humidity and insolation as weather information. We have applied a moving average to each information because they had a characteristic of time series. It was composed of min, max and average of each information, differences of mutual information and gradient of it. An artificial neural network, SVM and RBF Network model was used for the prediction algorithm and they were combined by Ensemble method. The results of this suggest that using a moving average during pre-processing and ensemble prediction models will maximize prediction accuracy.

A two-dimensional particle-in-cell(PIC) simulation with a Monte-Carlo Collision(MCC) has been developed to investigate the discharge characteristics of the acceleration channel of a HET. The dynamics of electrons and ions are treated with PIC method at the time scale of electrons in order to investigate the particle transport. The densities of charged particles are coupled with Poisson's equation. Xenon neutrals are injected from the anode and experience elastic, excitation, and ionization collisions with electrons, and are scattered by ions. These collisions are simulated by using an MCC model. The effects of control parameters such as magnetic field profile, electron current density, and the applied voltage have been investigated. The secondary electron emission on the dielectric surface is also considered.

In the field of electric vehicles and AGVs, wireless power transfer (WPT) charging systems have been developed recently because of its convenience, reliability, and positive environmental impact due to cable and cord elimination. In this study, we propose a WPT charging system using a single stage AC-DC converter that can be reduced in size and weight and thus can ensure convenience. The proposed single-stage AC-DC converter can control a wide output voltage (36-54 VDC) within coupling ranges by using the variable link voltage applied to the WPT resonant circuit through phase-shifted modulation at a fixed switching frequency. Moreover, the input power factor and total harmonic distortion can be improved by using the proposed converter. A 1 kW prototype that can operate with an air gap range of 40-50 mm is fabricated and validated through experimental results and analysis.

The in-wheel drive gearbox for military special vehicles converts the high-speed & low-torque output generated by the electric servomotor, into low-speed & high-torque mechanical power. As the vehicle is remotely maneuvered in mountainous terrain, wet fields, rough terrain, etc., the gearbox must generate a maximum input speed exceeding 5,000 rpm, a maximum torque of 245 Nm, and MTBF of 9,600 km. The purpose of this study was to analyze the failure mode of the gearbox, to ensure the durability of the in-wheel drive gearbox. Also, the field load test data of the vehicle was analyzed, the acceleration durability test standards were established, the acceleration durability test was conducted, and the durability test results were analyzed as well.

With the recent increase in demand for electronic devices, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have become the most important core component. In particular, the next-generation MLCC with extremely high reliability is required for the 4^th industrial revolution and electric vehicle applications. Therefore, it is necessary to develop dielectric ceramic materials with high dielectric properties and reliability. During the decades, electrical properties of BaTiO₃ based dielectric ceramics, which have been widely used in MLCC industrial field, have been improved by microstructure and defect chemistry control. However, electrical properties of BaTiO₃ have reached their limits, and new types of dielectric materials have been widely studied. Based on these backgrounds, this report presents the recent development trends of BaTiO₃-based dielectric materials for the next-generation MLCCs, and suggests promising candidates to replace BaTiO₃ ceramics.
