In the present work, a new freeze protection method has been proposed for a natural circulation system of solar water heater. Though electrothermal wire is popularly used for the purpose, there are freezing troubles by wire cut-off and shortage of excessive electric power consumption. In the experimental device, hot water in storage tank was used to heat the outlet pipe from the tank if the pipe surface temperature falls lower than a set point. The cold water pipe to the storage tank was installed to directly contact the hot water pipe surface temperature rose by transferred heat.

The aim of the study is to the thermal performance of TAP (Thermosiphoning Air Panel) which is easily applicable to existing building as well as new building. TAP is one of the advantageous means of passive solar system, with a view to reducing the energy consumption of existing and new building. The instantaneous thermal efficency of a thermo siphoning collector depends primarily on the heat loss coefficient of the collector, the effectiveness of heattransfer between the absorber and the air, the average air temperature in the collector, the ambient air temperature, and the transmitted solar radiation. Because the important design variables are interrelated, it is, difficult to determine the effect of design decisions based on intuition. Therefore economical and effective TAP can be used easily, TAP had been designed and analyzed.

A semi-active suspension system with continuously variable damper is greatly expected to be mainly used in the future as a high-performance suspension system due to its cost-effectiveness, light weight, and low energy consumption. To develop the suitable control logic for the semi-active suspension system, the hardware-in-the-loop simulation is performed with the experimental continuously variable damper combined with a quarter-car model. The hardware-in-the-loop simulation results are compared for passive, on/off controlled, and continuously controlled dampers in the aspects of ride comfort and driving safety, assuming each damper to be installed on a vehicle.

The advantages of using analogue optical networks for delivering radio signals from a central location to many remote antenna sites have been recognized. In a telecommnications context, radio signals may be for fixed radio access, cordless or mobile networks, but the same principles apply. By making use of the high bandwidth, low loss characteristics of optical fiber, all high frequency and signal processing functions can be performed centrally and signals can then be transported over the optical network directly at the carrier frequency. The remote sites then become very simple, requiring only optoelectronic conversion, filtering and linear amplification. This shifting of the complex functionality away from the remote site allow cheap, reliable, small and light-weight radio access points with low power consumption to be deployed. In this paper, we show that an electroabsorption modulation(EAM) may be used as a single component in such a radio access point, as a passive transceiver for small-sized cell(picocells).

During driving an automobile, drivers push the clutch and transmit gear by their feeling. At the automobile which have the manually operated gear box by using apart designed equipment, for get the semi-auto function, a lot of research to realize the system which have passive transmission and automotive transmission has developed. In this paper, basically using one chip .mu.-comcontrolled the clutch of automobile by means of LPF, F/V converter and TR driver circuit which is designed. In the past, it was controlled the motor by operating relay which is int eh output system to control the clutch. This system some noises is made by on and off the relay, lessen the motor speed and causes many error due to consume the large power on driving the motor. In this paper, to solve these problems the output TR is operated by using one chip .mu.-com decrease the electic power consumption and designed the actuator to control the clutch by measns of vacuum.

A new 8-bit single-slope ADC using analog RAMP generator with digitally controllable dynamic range has been proposed and simulated for column level or per-pixel CMOS image sensor application. The conversion gain of ADC can he controlled easily by using frequency divider with digitally controllable diviber ratio, coarse/fine RAMP with class-AB op-amp, resistor strings, decoder, comparator, and etc. The chip area and power consumption can be decreased by simplified analog circuits and passive components. Proposed frequency divider has been implemented and verified with 0.65um, 2-poly, 2-metal standard CMOS process. And the functional verification has been simulated and accomplished in a 0.35$\mu$m standard CMOS process.

Universal Display Corporation (UDC), together with its University partners at Princeton University and the University of Southern California, are developing high-efficiency electrophosphorescent OLED devices, based on triplet emission. Recent results show both excellent device efficiencies and good lifetimes for the commercialization of low power consumption, full-color, passive and activematrix OLED displays. We also show that phosphorescent devices may be driven by low cost amorphous silicon backplanes, and discuss the benefits of using our proprietary top emission OLED device architecture.

In this paper a new method is proposed for realizing active floating inductors from voltage differencing transconductance amplifier(VDTA) which is being studied nowadays. This proposed method employs only one VDTA and one transconductance for designing an active inductor from a passive floating inductor and implementing it to integrated circuits. The number of CMOS transistors can be considerably reduced from 6~18 as 1~3 gm circuits can be eliminated and even without R the design can be made, which can help in reducing the size of the circuit and power consumption. The proposed VDTA floating inductor was successfully used in constructing 1 MHz second order biquad active bandpass filter and bandwidth could be adjusted from 77kHz~1.59MHz by the changes made in gm from 6uS~20uS.

This paper describes a novel burst-mode clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit which can be used for 622Mbps burst mode applications. The CDR circuit is basically a phase locked loop (PLL) having two phase detectors (PDs), one for the reference clock and the other for the NRZ data, whose operations are controlled by an external control signal. This CDR was fabricated in a 1-poly 5-metal $0.25{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. Jitter generation, burst/continuous mode data receptions were tested. Operational frequency range is 320Mhz~720Mhz and BER is less than 1e-12 for PRBS31 at 622Mhz. For the same data sequence, the extracted clock jitter is less than 8ps rms. Power consumption of 100mW was measured without I/O circuits.
