We analyzed an important part of control valve, magnet unit, which is used to control the fluid. Magnetic circuit which is composed of magnet and yoke is analyzed using finite element method. Then, flux density and coil force were calculated and compared with those of measured. According to the simulation results, the gap field, force constant, and permeance coefficient were 3~5 kG, 27.5 N/A, 22.1, respectively, which corresponded reasonably well with the measured values. We also obtained reluctance factor of 1.1 and fringing factor of 1.4 by simulation.

Although the electromagnetic launcher technology has been progressed significantly during the past two decades the number of firing test facilities are not many. This is prbably due to the large budget and man power required to build and maintain full scale electromagnetic launcher facilities. As the EM launcher technology's potential capabilities have been somewhat demonstrated with the full scale large systems the research is now headed more toward overcoming specific difficulties and answering questions experimentally with smaller, cost effective systems. The first half of this paper presents EM launcher's improved sub-scaling relationships based upon magnetic, thermal and momentum differential equations and EM launcher's basic equations. With the proposed scaling method the field variables can be matched or scaled linearly between the two geometrically scaled systems. The second half of the paper presents pulsed power system's circuit analysis and design technique, which is applied to the capacitor-powered small pulsed power system with crow-barring circuitry. The effect of the so-called speed volt is included. A sub-scaled small system's design is provided as an example.

The demands of high data transfer rate and high recording density in optical disk memory device are being increased. In order to achieve high performance, lever actuator for optical disk is proposed. Firstly, the role of lever and structure are discussed and the flexure hinge is introduced to enhance the precise movement. Next is to present the magnetic circuit structure and concept design for the lever actuator. Finally, the dynamic modeling of the lever actuator is found and the analysis results are shown. Consequently, the lever actuator shows the possibility as a pickup actuator for the next generation optical disk.

The design and analysis of a three-phase 6/8 structure SRM(switched reluctance motor) art described. The range of the stator ole arc and the rotor pole arc of the motor we analyzed in the linear region. The optimum range of the stator pole arc and the turn-off angle of the main switches in the power converter are given with the 2-D finite element electro-magnetic field calculation of the motor and the nonlinear simulation. Test results of the prototype are discussed. This type is good for high efficiency drive because the drive circuit is simple and current density and copper loss of the winding are law.

Smooth picture module is operated by vibration to tilt the light from the DMD (digital micro mirror device) of DLP projection TV, which makes the screen of the TV smoother and DMD chip cost lower. To satisfy the vibration characteristics of smooth picture module, it is designed by optimizing moment of inertia, spring constant and damping coefficient, using structural and fluid dynamic simulation that showed a good agreement with experimental data. To reduce the material cost and moment of inertia, engineering plastic is used and the reliability is estimated. A VCM (voice coil motor) type actuator for smooth picture has to satisfy performance requirements such as higher driving force, lower power consumption, and lower cost. The initial design and optimization for VCM was performed using FE analysis. It allowed us to optimize the design of magnetic circuit of the proposed actuator to obtain higher force while maintaining a lower cost.

This paper presents a characteristic analysis of switched reluctance motor (SRM) considering switching control method and DC link voltage ripple by using time-stepped voltage source finite element method in which the magnetic field is combined with drive circuit. We also examine the influence of freewheeling diodes and DC link voltage ripple on the performance of the SRM such as torque ripples and radial force on the surface of the teeth. The freewheeling diodes and DC link voltage ripples must be taken into account to predict the performance of SRM.

Neuroimaging studies in schizophrenia have remarkably increased and provided some clues to understand its pathophysiology. Here, we reviewed the neuroimaging, studies including volume analysis, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging, and findings in both early stage schizophrenia and high-risk group. The reviewed studies suggested that the brain with schizophrenia showed both regional deficits and dysconnectivity of neural circuit in the first episode, even high-risk group as well as chronic schizophrenia. Multimodal neuroimaging or combined approach with genetic, electro-or magneto-encephalographic data could provide promising results to understand schizophrenia in the near future.

A paradigm shift in driving system of transportation vehicle from engine to electric motor is required as the problems on air pollution and drain of petroleum resource are on the rize. Moreover while it is possible to control the motor with variable frequency driver, the application of motor in various kinds of vehicles is spread rapidly. In the paper, the effective design method of IPMSM for EV and HEV by using equivalent magnetic circuit and finite element method (FEM) is suggested. First of all, load conditions of the application are calculated. And basic design process of IPMSM is proposed with two design point. Finally, in order to verify the proposed design process, it was compared with the basic design parameter and the FEM analysis results.

Superconducting tape easily can applied to distribution of electricity. It designs basic model of Saturable Reactor type Fault Current Limiter which used superconducting tape, and observes a specific character by means of simulation. Saturable Reactor type Fault Current Limiter is not influenced by saturation of Magnet core appeared in Induction Fault Current Limiter, because it exploit saturation of Iron core. But, it is possible that superconducting tape quenched when AC current flow to superconducting tape which biased DC voltage.

In this paper, we compared the current limiting characteristics of both the hybrid type and the flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters(SFCLs), which have a magnetic coupling structure between a primary winding and several secondary windings. The limiting impedances of two SFCLs were derived from each equivalent circuit considering the design parameters of SFCL such as the self-inductance of secondary winding and the resistance of $high-T_C$ superconducting(HTSC) element. Through the comparison for the limiting impedances of two SFCLs considering the dependence of the HTSC element's resistance on the applying voltage into the SFCL, the hybrid type SFCL was confirmed to have larger limiting impedance with smaller resistance of HTSC element than the flux-lock type SFCL. It was expected from the analysis that the hybrid type SFCL was more advantageous than the flux-lock type SFCL from the viewpoint of the fault current limiting level.
