This paper presents the harmonics obstacle analysis and countermeasure of electrical consumption a place. Harmonics that can be cosidered as a environmental pollution of the power systems become the cause of the accidents and damages. The responsibility of eliminating the harmonics firstly lies on the generating side. But the original characteristics of the system sush as the harmonic transfer characteristics and the impedance of the system affect each other in the process of the generation and transmission of the harmonic. Therefore it is very difficult to specify clearly the harmonic controlling responsibility, because electric machinery generating harmonics are various in the industrial fields. The output of a inverter has a high harmonic content. There are several ways of minimizing the output harmonic content. One way is to use pulse width modulation techniques within inverter. An alternative method is to combine a number of square-wave inverters. In this research, we measure the harmonic of the countermeasure of electrical consumption a place. The paper present the problem of new harmonic elimination method of PWM inverter fed induction motor system using W-FT series. In the future, the proposed PWM pattern by W-FT series is effective not only to the induction motor but also to the electromagnetic machine such as voltage reglator, UPS.

This paper discribes an improved technique for locating partial discharge sites within operating transformers by ultrasonic method which utilizes the different travel times of the electrical and ultrasonic signals produced by partial discharges to determine the location of the sources. The technique was to develope the measurement system based on the enhancement of the acoustic emission signals using signal square, circuit to improve the detectable sensitivity and reliability. Also an ultrasonic pulse generator was designed and made to transmit periodically pulses equivalent to pratial discharges and to check the good performance of the system, echo effects and self-diagnosis. Through the laboratory work, it was confirmed that the system and the generator can be used satisfactorily for diagnosing power transformers and for studying echo effects and self-diagnosis of the system.

In this study, polarization switching characteristics of Pb(ZrxTil-x)O3 (PZT) thin films were investigated. Switching times(ts) were found to be decreased as the Zr mol% was increased. But, the switching peak currents(Imax) showed the largest value at 50 mol% Zr. As a result of this experiment, ts was found to be depended on the remanent polarization and coercive field and also Imax strongly depended on the dielectric constant of PZT thin films. In order to investigate the partial switching kinetics of PZT thin films, short and relatively small voltage pulses were applied to the MFM(metalferroelectric metal) PZT capacitors and polarization switching curves were measured with a variation of the total width of the applied pulses. Also, the switching curves were measured at different applied voltages(4, 8, 10, 12 and 14 volts). As the applied voltages increased, ts and Imax were found to be decreased and increased, respectively. In case of fatigued specimen which we applied $\pm$10 volts square pulse for 1010 cycles, ts and Imax were found to be shorter and smaller than those of virgin specimens. This is due to the decrease of the remanent polarization and the increase of the coercive field.

In this paper, we analyzed performance of a symbol timing recovery scheme for 16QAM Radio system. As a symbol timing recovery scheme, both maximum amplitude method(MAM) and wave difference method(WDM) are analyzed employing a pulse shaping filter, such as raised cosine filter(RCF) and nonlinear filter(NLF). Simulation result shows that the jitter performance of MAM or WDM using NLF is better than that using square root RCF. In order to estimate and compensate for the Rayleigh fading PSAM(Pilot Symbol Assisted Modulation) and space diversity are also employed. Consequently, BER performance of about $10^{-4}$ is obtained for $E_b/N_o$= 20 dB.

A novel control method of a three-phase PWM inverter with LC filter is proposed. The transfer function of LC filter is the same as that of second-order low pass filter(LPF), which has a zero damping ratio. A simple method of implementing second-order LPF with damping ratio is to add a resistor in an LC circuit. However, in a real power system, adopting damping resistors is impractical because it results in losses proportional to the square of the current flowing through the resistors. Instead of inserting resistors, the proposed control strategy utilizes the measured capacitor voltages to control the oscillation of LC circuit. The overall transfer function of the proposed method is the same as a second-order LPF, and its damping ratio is controllable via control variables. The current controller can have overshoots caused by LC filter. Improved current controller is implemented by an equivalent second-order of LC filter. A 7.5 kVA PWM converter and a PWM inverter with a 5.5 kW induction motor are set up to verify the proposed control algorithm. Test waveforms are also presented to verify the proposed LC filter control algorithm.

Through applying hostile radar signals that use stagger PRI to PRI transform in real time, we can analyze stagger PRI and calculate the future TOA for active cancellation by using measured TOA and estimated PRI. We shows the effect of the errors that are contained in PRI and measured TOA. Then, it will suggest the technique to improve the accuracy of estimated PRI and the TOA averaging method for reducing the effect of measured TOA error. Finally, we will show that accuracy of estimated future TOA that is calculated by proposed scheme is higher than that of future TOA that is simply calculated with TDOA and newest TOA through comparing RMSE performance.

An infrared range finder using a self-mixing laser diode (SM-LD), which has been proposed and developed by the Authors, can measure not only a range of a moving target but its velocity simultaneously. In this paper, described is that the precise mode-hop pulse train can be obtained by employing a new signal processing circuit even when the backscattered light returning into the SM-LD is much more weaker. As a result, the distance to a tilted square sheet made from aluminium or white paper, which is placed 10 cm through 60 cm from the SM-LD, is measured with accuracy of a few percent even when the tilting angle is less than 75 degrees or 85 degrees, respectively. And in this paper, described is the range-image recognition of a plane object under the condition of standstill. The output laser beam is scanned by scanning two plane mirrors-equipped with each stepping motor. And we succeeded in the acquisition of the range-image of a plane object in a few tens of seconds. Furthermore, described is a feasibility study about the range-image recognition of a slowly moving plane object.

The present study was performed to clarify the effect of vagus nerve stimulation on the enterochromaffin(EC) cells in the body of the stomach, the first part of the duodenum and the ceceum of rats by using routine electron microscopy and immunogold labelling. The changes in the ultrastructure and in the labelling density of the gold particles of the EC cells were investigated after vagus nerve stimulation. The vagus nerve was electrically stimulated with a square wave pulse generator for a duration of 5 minutes each, a total of 8 times at 2 minute intervals. Immunogold labelling demonstrated that the epithelial serotonin immunoreactive cells of the gastrointestinal tract are EC cells containing characteristic pleomorphic granules. Immunocytochemically labelled gold particles were largely concentrated in the dense matrix of the granules of the EC cell, and the labelling density of the gold particles considerably increased after the vagus nerve stimulation. Except for a slight activation of Golgi complexes, no remarkable changes in the ultrastructures of the EC cells were noted after the vagus nerve stimulation. The above results suggest that vagus nerve stimulation may activate serotonin biosynthesis in EC cells.

The purpose of this work is to compare the local fitting and global fitting approaches while applying regression model to the PTT-BP data for the prediction of exercise blood pressures. We used linear and nonlinear regression models to represent the PTT-BP relationship during exercise. PTT-BP data were acquired both under resting state and also after cycling exercise with several load conditions. PTT was calculated as the time between R-peak of ECG and the peak of differential photo-plethysmogram. For the identification of the regression models, we used local fitting which used only the resting state data and global fitting which used the whole region of data including exercise BP. The results showed that the global fitting was superior to the local fitting in terms of the coefficient of determination and the RMS (root mean square) error between the experimental and estimated BP. The nonlinear regression model which used global fitting showed slightly better performance than the linear one (no significant difference). We confirmed that the wide-range of data is required for the regression model to appropriately predict the exercise BP.

In this paper, we compose of the utility interactive photovoltaic(PV) generation system with a PWM stepdown chopper and a current source inverter. The stepdown chopper is controlled by the several gate pulses (twice frequency of utility voltage, square pulse and without the chopper) of chopper part to reduce pulsation of DC current and size of DC reactor. PV current only is measured for maximum power point tracking without any influence on the variation of insolation and temperature. Therefore, we can control modulation factor of the chopper to operate at maximum power point of solar cell. And, the utility interactive photovoltaic generation system supplies an AC power to the load and the utility power system.
