This paper presents the farced resonant characteristics of an electrically small cavity partially filled with dielectric material. The method of moments with Galerkins procedure is used to determine the farced resonant characteristics of the small cavity. In order to obtain the equations of the external reactance gives rise to the farced resonance at a given frequency, the cavity with external reactance can be treated as two-port network which has the admittance parameters. Numerical results show that the forced resonance, series or parallel resonance, can be obtained by the controlling the external reactance. To verify the availability of the theoretical analysis, experiments are carried out for the bakelite as the material by measuring the length of external reactance at operating frequencies.

Film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) technology has attracted a great attention as a promising technology to fabricate the next-generation RF filters mainly because the FBAR technology can be integrated with current Si processing. The RF filters are basically composed of several FBAR devices connected in parallel and in series, and their characteristics depend highly on the FBAR device characteristics. Thus, it is important to design high quality FBAR devices by device or process optimization. This kind of effort may enhance the FBAR device characteristics, eventually leading to FBAR filters of high performance. In this paper, we describe the methods to more effectively improve the resonance characteristics of the FBAR devices.

A sensorless active damping scheme for LCL filters in grid-connected parallel inverters for battery energy storage systems is proposed. This damping method is superior to the conventional notch filter and virtual damping methods with respect to robustness against the variation of the resonance of the filter and unnecessary additional current sensors. The theoretical analysis of the proposed damping method is explained in detail, along with the characteristic comparison to the conventional active damping methods. The performance verification of the proposed sensorless active damping method shows that its performance is comparable to that of the conventional virtual damping method, even without additional current sensors. Finally, simulation and experimental results are provided to examine the overall characteristics of the proposed method.

Implanted telemetry systems provide the ability to monitor different species of animals while they move within their cages. Species monitored include mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, pigs, primates, sheep, horses, cattle, and others. A miniature transmitter implanted in each animal measures one or more parameters. Parameters measured include arterial pressure, intra-pleural pressure, left ventricular pressure, intra-ocular pressure, bladder pressure, ECG, EMG, EEG, EOG, temperature, activity, and other parameters and transmits the data via radio frequency signals to a nearby receiver. Every conventional dedicated transmitter contains one or more sensors, cpu and battery. Due to the expected life of the battery, the measuring time is limited. To overcome these problems, electromagnetic inductive coupling based wireless power transmission technology using multiple transmit coils were proposed, with each coil having a different active area driven by the coil driver. In this research, a parallel resonance based coil driver and serial resonance based coil driver are proposed. From the experiments we see that the parallel coil driver shows better performance under a low impedance and multiple coils configuration. However, the serial coil driver is more efficient for high impedance transmit coils.

In this study, the dynamic interaction between an Arctic Spar and drifting level ice is examined in time domain using the newly developed ice-hull-mooring coupled dynamics program. The in-house program, CHARM3D, which is the hull-riser-mooring coupled dynamic simulator is extended by coupling with the open-source discrete element method (DEM) simulator, LIGGGHTS. In the LIGGGHTS module, the parallel-bonding method is implemented to model the level ice using an assembly of multiple bonded spherical particles. As a case study, a spread-moored Artic Spar platform, whose hull surface near waterline is the inverted conical shape, is chosen. To determine the breaking-related DEM parameter (the critical bonding strength), the four-point numerical bending test is used. A series of numerical simulations is systematically performed under the various ice conditions including ice drift velocity, flexural strength, and thickness. Then, the effects of these parameters on the ice force, platform motions, and mooring tensions are discussed. The simulations reveal various features of dynamic interactions between the drifting ice and moored platform for various ice conditions including the novel synchronous resonance at low ice speed. The newly developed simulator is promising and can repeatedly be used for the future design and analysis including ice-floater-mooring coupled dynamics.

Although piezoelectric bimorph that is using as the sensor in medical and industrial measurement has large displacement, it has problems including efficiency in generating force, energy convergence, and response. Its application is being limited based on the change in resonance frequency with temperature. In this study, to overcome the disadvantages, PZT piezoelectric ceramics was prepared and produced a parallel type piezoelectric bimorphs. In addition, by using the finite element method. the configuration of piezoelectric bimorph was designed and the displacement of the bimorph based on applied electric pressure and the wave pattern were measured. By analyzing the resonance characteristics of the bimorph in the temperature range of $-60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, an attempt was made to study the operational characteristics and temperature reliability of vortex flowmeter sensor. As a result, the resonance frequency of the bimorph was gradually increased with the temperature from $-60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. The deflection of the bimorph was found to strongly depend on both the applied electric field waveform and the environmental temperature.

Ferromagnetic resonance experiments have been used to investigate the magnetic properties of amorphous $Co_{89.5}Zr_{10.5}$ thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering method. In the thickness range from $350\;{\AA}$ to $3,200\;{\AA}$, measurements were carried out in a static magnetic field perpendicular and parallel to the film plane and in a conventional 9.44 GHz spectrometer at room temperature. The ferromagnetic resonance spectra by the field perpendicular to the film plane showed standing spin wave. The spacing and the relative intensities between the various spin wave resonance peaks are analysed considering surface magnetic anisotropy. The surface magnetic anisotropy constant ($K_{so},\;K_{sd}$) of amorphous $Co_{89.5}Zr_{10.5}$ thin films are $0.02\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.55\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively regardless of the film thickness except for $3,200\;{\AA}$ film. In case of $3,200\;{\AA}$ these values are $0.46\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $0.55\;erg/\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively.

The role of neuroimaging in patients with acute ischemic stroke has been gradually increasing. The ultimate goal of stroke imaging is to make a streamlined imaging workflow for safe and efficient treatment based on optimized patient selection. In the era of multimodal comprehensive imaging in strokes, imaging based on computed tomography (CT) has been preferred for use in acute ischemic stroke, because, despite the unique strengths of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MRI has a longer scan duration than does CT-based imaging. However, recent improvements, such as multicoil technology and novel MRI acceleration techniques, including parallel imaging, simultaneous multi-section imaging, and compressed sensing, highlight the potential of comprehensive MR-based imaging for strokes. In this review, we discuss the role of stroke imaging in acute ischemic stroke management, as well as the strengths and limitations of MR-based imaging. Given these concepts, we review the current MR acceleration techniques that could be applied to stroke imaging and provide an overview of the previous research on each essential sequence: diffusion-weighted imaging, gradient-echo, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, contrast-enhanced MR angiography, and MR perfusion imaging.
