In this paper, a disk-type piezoelectric transformer for the high power was investigated with the variation of road resistance. The diameter and thickness of a disk-type piezoelectric transformer was 45mm and 4mm, respectively. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. The ratio of driving electrode and generating electrode is 2:1. The poling direction of driving part and generating part are the same. A voltage step-up ratio increased with increasing the load resistance, $R_L$, so it reached 60 under no road resistance. Also, the maximum efficiency of 97% was obtained.

A new type of piezoelectric transformer using radial vibration of disk, poled with the same direction is proposed. The piezoelectric ceramics was composed to PZT-PMN-PSN. The surface ratio of driving electrode and generating electrode of the piezoelectric transformer ranges from 1.4:1 to 3:1. As a experimental result, both resonance frequency and step-up voltage ratio increased with increasing load resistance. The step-up voltage ratio was reached more than 60 times under no load resistance. The maximum efficiency of 97.7% at load resistance of 2k${\Omega}$ was obtained.

The back propagation of neural networks has the problems of falling into local minimum and delay of the speed by the iterative learning. An algorithm to solve the problem and improve the speed of the learning was already proposed in[8], which updates the learning parameter related with the connection weight. In this paper, we propose the algorithm generating initial weight to improve the efficiency of the algorithm by offering the difference between the input vector and the target signal to the generating function of initial weight. The algorithm proposed here can classify more than 98.75% of the handwritten digits and this rate shows 30% more effective than the other previous methods.

Although Jeju island Is connected with main network system by HVDC cable line, it's network assumes the form of independent system in an operating point of view. Therefore Jeju needs it's own independent capacity expansion planning. Continuos growth of demand and increase of antiquated plants in Jeju requires additional generating capacity. This paper analyzes characteristics of two alternatives which include it's own expansion of facilities and capacity expansion of network system for Jeju island. Furthermore this paper evaluates economic efficiency of those alternatives and analyzes long-term program of demand-supply of electricity.

Silhouette is useful in computer graphics for a number of techniques such as non-photorealistic rendering, silhouette clipping, and blueprint generating. Methods for generating silhouette are classified into three categories: image-based, object-based, and hybrid-based. Hybrid-based method is effective in terms of time complexity but spatial coherence problem still remains. In this paper, we proposed a new hybrid-based method which produces 3D data for silhouette and also guarantees no spatial coherence problem. To verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, several experiments are conducted for various 3D models from simple to quite complex. Results show that our algorithm generates no gap between any two consecutive silhouette lines when the silhouette model is magnified significantly.

In this study, seismic response mitigation effect of an MR damper generating response-dependent frictional force is investigated. It has been reported in previous studies that passively operated MR damper with constant input current doesn't show better control performance than semi-active MR damper with varying input current calculated by control algorithms such as linear quadratic regulator and sliding mode control. However, in order to operate the MR damper semi-actively, other control systems besides the damper itself such as sensors for measuring structural responses and controller for calculating optimal input current are necessary, which deteriorate the economical efficiency. This study presents a MR damper generating frictional force of which magnitude is controlled in accordance to the displacement and velocity transferred to the damper. Numerical analyses results indicate that the performance of the response dependent MR damper is closely related with the range of the friction force and it can be designed to short better control performance than the passive MR damper.

Developing a machine learning model and putting it into production goes through a number of steps. Automated Machine Learning(AutoML) appeared to increase productivity and efficiency by automating inefficient tasks that occur while repeating this process whenever machine learning is applied. The high degree of automation of AutoML models allows non-experts to use machine learning models and techniques without the need to become machine learning experts. Automating the process of applying machine learning end-to-end with AutoML models has the added benefit of creating simpler solutions, generating these solutions faster, and often generating models that outperform hand-designed models. In this paper, the AutoML data is collected and AutoML's Color Petri net model is created and analyzed based on it.

Conventional backlight for liquid crystal display (LCD) uses mercury which leads to environmental pollution. In this study, characteristics of AC coplanar type mercury-free plasma flat lamp have been studied. Pollution-free Xe-He is adopted as a discharge gas system. Since the Xe gas has a lower efficiency in generating vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) than mercury, the improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency in the Xe gas system is very important. The electrode, dielectric, and phosphor layers constituting lamp are formed on the bottom glass by the screen printing method. The effects of pulse shape, on-time, and pulse frequency on the luminance and luminous efficiency have been examined. For Xe(5%)-He gas, the lamp exhibits higher efficiency with sharper pulse shape, higher peak voltage, and shorter pulse on-time (up to 2 $\mu\textrm{s}$). Higher efficiency and lower consumption of power were obtained at 30 kHz than at 60 kHz. The collision of ion to bottom electrodes is a dominant factor to raise the lamp temperature. Therefore the high voltage and low current discharge system is necessary for reduction of the lamp temperature as well as for enhancement of the luminous efficiency.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare Islamic commercial banks and Islamic banking units with the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) method during 2014-2018. The data in research using Islamic commercial banks and Islamic banking units. There are 10 Islamic commercial banks and 5 Islamic banking units that meet the criteria of purposive sampling. The calculation of efficiency level using the SFA method with the function of production shows that Islamic commercial banks and Islamic banking units always experience an increase in efficiency every year with the average level of efficiency of Islamic commercial banks being 0.43994, while the average rate of efficiency of Islamic banking units is slightly higher at 0.47654. This shows that Islamic banking units are slightly more optimal in generating total financing in the period 2010-2014. The test results using Independent Sample T-Test can be concluded that there is no difference in the efficiency value between Islamic commercial banks and Islamic banking units. Operating costs are not significant and have a positive effect on the total financing; total assets have a significant effect and a positive impact on total financing; labor costs are not significant and have a negative effect on total financing.

This paper proposes an optimal algorithm for generating a train speed profile giving optimal energy efficiency based on GA (Genetic Algorithm) and shows its effectiveness with simulations. After simplifying the train operation mode to a maximum traction, a coasting and a maximum breaking, adjusting the coasting point to minimize the train consuming energy is the basic scheme. Satisfying the two constraints, running distance and running time between two stations, a coasting point is determined by GA with a fitness function consisting of a target running time. Simulation results have shown that multiple coasting points could exist satisfying both of the two constraints. After figuring out consumed energies according to the multiple coasting points, an optimal train speed profile with a coasting point giving the smallest consumed energy has been selected. Simulation blocks for the train performance simulation and GA have been designed with the Simulink.
