The turnout point system is installed to separate the main rail track from other tracks in rail load stations. It is also important to set up the switch point system to change the direction of the turnout point, to lead and change the direction of tracks. The switch point system can be negatively affected by heavy snow during winter seasons which can cause critical safety problems. Furthermore, the maintenance and repair of the conventional system is prohibitively expensive due to its complexity and high probability of failure. In this paper, an efficient switch point system is proposed which simplifies the equipment structure and lowers the cost for maintenance and repair, while improving safety and performance of the rail road system.

The current density in the IPS(Inverse Pinch Switch) is 1/62 times less than that in the spark gap. It was shown that in comparison with the spark gap, the switch inductance of the IPS is largely reduced and the useful lifetime is significantly increased. In the paper, the design technology of a closing switch, especially IPS triggered by electrical signal for pulsed power system with a very high voltage and current is presented.

The problem of noise generation due to PWM switched-mode power converter has been widely noticed from the viewpoint of Electromagnetic Interference(EMI). Many kings of topologies for resonant converters have been developed both to overcome this noise problem and to attain high power efficiency. It is reported in references that resonant converters which are derived from PWM converter using resonant switch show much lower noise characteristics than PWM converter, and that current-mode resonant converter is more sensitive to stored charge in rectifying diode than voltage-mode counterpart concerning surge generation at diode’s turn-off. On the other hand, above mentioned resonant converters have defect of high-voltage stress on semiconductor switch and complicated circuit configuration. Hence, the simplified Forward-type resonant converter has been proposed and investigated due to its prominent features of simplicity of circuit configuration, low voltage stress and high stability. However, its noise characteristics still remain unknown. The purpose of this paper is to study quantitatively the noise characteristics of this simplified Forward-type resonant converter by experiment and analysis. The influence of parasitic elements and stored charge in rectifying diode on noise generation has been clarified.

Many new electronic products are required to have a near unity power factor and a distortion free input current waveform. In this paper, a high performance single phase PWM AC/DC converter with input power factor correction is proposed. This proposed control strategy has many advantages which include one semiconduction switch, simplified control circuit, high performance features and continuous input current. The experimental results are included to verify the validity of this approach.

In this paper, a wideband LC oscillator which is composed of a high voltage switch and a fat dipole antenna was designed and radiation characteristics are analyzed. A Marx generator was used as a high voltage pulse generator of the proposed wideband LC oscillator and $90^{\circ}$ corner reflector was used to obtain high directivity. According to simulated and measured results, 3 dB bandwidth of high voltage switch without fat dipole based on the received power is about 9%(${\lambda}_1=0.7\;m$) and bandwidth Is about 30%(${\lambda}_2=1\;m$) by using the LC oscillator containing high voltage switch and fat dipole. Consequently, fat dipole affects not only radiating power but also operating frequency and bandwidth of the LC oscillator. This study will be useful to determine operating frequency and radiating power when we design LC oscillator which uses a high voltage switch and a fat dipole.

This paper proposes a zero-current-transition(ZCT) synchronous buck converter using auxiliary circuit with soft-switching for light weight and high efficiency. In this scheme, an auxiliary circuit is added to the conventional synchronous rectifier buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching condition for both the main switch and synchronous switch. In addition, the switch in the auxiliary circuit operates under soft-switching conditions. Thus, the proposed converter provides a higher efficiency. The basic operations, in this paper, are discussed and design guidelines are presented. The usefulness of the proposed converter is verified on a 200KHz, 20 W prototype converter.

Variable optical attenuators (VOA) made of low-loss fluorinated polymers are demonstrated which shows a low operating power less than 30 mW due to the superior thermo-optic effect of polymer material and a low insertion loss less than 1.0 dB by incorporating highly fluorinated polymers to reduce the absorption loss at 1550 nm. An attenuator-integrated low-crosstalk polymeric digital optical switch (DOS) is also demonstrated. The switch and attenuator shares a single connected electrode which is controlled by a single current source. Due to the simple structure of the integrated attenuator, the device length is reduced to 1 cm so as to provide low insertion loss of 0.8 and 1.1 dB for 1300 and 1550 nm, respectively. The attenuator radiates remained optical signal on the switch-off branch in order to decrease the switching crosstalk to be less than -70 dB with an applied electrical power of 200 mW.

In conventional zero-current-switching(ZCS) PWM converters, zero-current turn-off for main switch without increasing voltage/current stresses is achieved at a fixed frequency. The switching loss, stress, and noise, however, can\`t be minimized because they adopt auxiliary switches turned off and main switches turned on under hard-switching condition. In this paper, new ZCS-PWM converters of which all switches are always operating with soft-switching condition are proposed. Therefore, the proposed ZCS-PWM converters are most suitable for systems requiring high-power density Breadboarded ZCS-PWM boost converters using power MOSFET are constructed to verify theoretical analysis.

This paper investigates an economic and highly efficient power converter topology and its modulation scheme for 60kW rapid EV charger system. The target system consists of three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier topology. A new Carrier Based PWM scheme along with its simple implementation using logic gates is introduced in this paper. This PWM scheme replaces the diode rectifier equivalent switching state with an active switching state producing the effectively same current flowing path. As a result, the distortion of input current during the polarity reversal of capacitor line voltage can be mitigated. The proposed modulation technique is confirmed through simulation verification. The proposed modulation technique and its implementation scheme can expand the operation range of the three-phase three-switch buck-type rectifier having ac input and capacitor ripple current of high quality.
