We have investigated the microstructural properties of a weakly charged polyelectrolyte modeled with both Hookean spring and Debye-Huckel potential, by employing a novel hybrid scheme of molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Although the off-lattice pivot step facilitates the earlier computations stage, it gives rise to oscillations and hinders the stable equilibrium state. In order to overcome this problem, we adopt the MC off-lattice pivot step in early stage only, and then switch the computation to a pure MD step. The result shows that the computational speed-up compared to the previous method is entirely above 10 to 50, without loss of the accuracy. We examined the conformations of polyelectrolyte in solvents in terms of the end-to-end distance, radius of gyration, and structure factor with variations of the screening effects of solvent and the monomer charges. The emphasis can favorably be given on the elongation behavior of a polyelectrolyte chain, with observing the simultaneous snapshots.

This paper presents characteristics of piezo transformer for AC-DC converter. This transformer uses transverse vibration mode and the origin of the structure was the ring dot type transformer. Because, the ring dot type transformers produce only step-up phenomenon, we made a multi-layered ring dot structure for a step-down output. The characteristics of the transformer were simulated by using the ANSYS. And frequency and voltage were measured by changing the load resistance and current. Frequencies that have the maximum output voltage and current were gradually increased, when the resistance were increased. Output voltage and current show a stable linearity according to the input voltage. The maximum output power was expected greater than 20 [W]. So, we expect that this type of multi-layered step-down ring dot transformer can be adopted for a small AC adapters.

The design feasibility of a micro unidirectional DC transmission system based on an input-parallel output-parallel (IPOP) converter is analyzed in this paper. The system consists of two subsystems: an input-parallel output-series (IPOS) subsystem to step up the DC link voltage, and an input-series output-parallel (ISOP) subsystem to step down the output voltage. The two systems are connected through a transmission line. The challenge of the delay caused by the communication in the control system is addressed by introducing a ring communication structure, and its influence on the control system is analyzed to ensure the feasibility and required performance of the converter system under practical circumstances. Simulation and experiment results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design.

This study presents a novel step-up switched capacitor multilevel inverter (SCMLI) structure. The proposed structure comprises 2 unequal DC voltage sources, 4 capacitors, and 14 unidirectional power switches. It can synthesize 21 output voltage levels. The important features of the proposed topology are its self-voltage boosting and inherent capacitor voltage balancing capabilities. Furthermore, a cascaded structure of the proposed SCMLI with an asymmetric DC voltage source configuration is presented. The proposed topology and its cascaded structure are compared with conventional and other recently developed topologies in terms of different aspects, such as the required components to produce a specific number of output voltage levels, the total standing voltage (TSV) and peak inverse voltage of the structure, and the maximum number of switches in the conducting path. Furthermore, a cost function is developed to verify the cost-effectiveness of the proposed topology with respect to other topologies. The TSV of the proposed topology is significantly lower than those of other topologies. Moreover, the developed topology is cost-effective compared with other topologies. A detailed operating principle, power loss analysis, and selection procedure for switched capacitors are presented for the proposed SCMLI structure. Extensive simulation and experimental studies of a 21-level inverter structure prove the effectiveness and merits of the proposed SCMLI.

A high step-up dc-dc converter is proposed for photovoltaic power systems in this paper. The proposed converter consists of an input current doubler, a symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler and an active-clamp circuit. The input current doubler minimizes the input current ripple. The symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler is composed of two symmetrical quasi-resonant switched-capacitor circuits, which share the leakage inductance of the transformer as a resonant inductor. The rectifier diodes (switched-capacitor circuit) are turned off at the zero current switching (ZCS) condition, so that the reverse-recovery problem of the diodes is removed. In addition, the symmetrical structure results in an output voltage ripple reduction because the voltage ripples of the charge/pump capacitors cancel each other out. Meanwhile, the voltage stress of the rectifier diodes is clamped at half of the output voltage. In addition, the active-clamp circuit clamps the voltage surges of the switches and recycles the energy of the transformer leakage inductance. Furthermore, pulse-width modulation plus phase angle shift (PPAS) is employed to control the output voltage. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and experimental results obtained from a 400W prototype are presented to validate the performance of the proposed converter.

Renewable energy based on photovoltaic systems is beginning to play an important role to supply power to remote areas all over the world. Owing to the lower output voltage of photovoltaic arrays, high gain DC-DC converters with a high efficiency are required in practice. This paper presents a novel interleaved DC-DC boost converter with a high voltage gain, where the input terminal is interlaced in parallel and the output terminal is staggered in series (IPOSB). The IPOSB configuration can reduce input current ripples because two inductors are interlaced in parallel. The double output capacitors are charged in staggered parallel and discharged in series for the load. Therefore, IPOSB can attain a high step-up conversion and a lower output voltage ripple. In addtion, the output voltage can be automatically divided by two capacitors, without the need for extra sharing control methods. At the same time, the voltage stress of the power devices is lowered. The inrush current problem of capacitors is restrained by the inductor when compared with high gain converters with a switching-capacitor structure. The working principle and steady-state characteristics of the converter are analyzed in detail. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified by experimental results.

이 논문에서는 레이저를 통한 진동판 스캔과 열화상 카메라를 사용한 진동판 촬영, 두 가지 방법을 비교하며 슬림 스피커의 분할 진동을 검출하는 방법에 대해 살펴본다. 슬림 스피커는 평판형의 구조적인 특성상 분할진동이 두드러지게 나타나고, 설치되는 공간이 좁아 무빙 코일에서 발생하는 열의 냉각이 제한적이다. 이런 특성으로 인해 슬림 스피커에서 분할진동이 제품의 품질에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 진동판에서 일어나는 분할진동의 영향과 무빙 코일에 의한 진동판의 열전달 관계를 비교 탐색한다. 비교를 위한 실험은 분할진동 모드의 측정과 진동판의 열 변화 측정을 진동판 스캔과 열화상 카메라 촬영의 2단계의 실험으로 진행한다. 동일 주파수에서 발생하는 분할진동 모드와 열전달 형태를 비교하여 서로 간에 어떤 영향을 미치고 있는 지 파악할 수 있다. 그리고 이를 통해 발견한 연관성을 통해 쉽게 촬영할 수 있는 열화상만으로도 슬림 스피커가 가지는 분할진동의 형태와 경향성을 빠르게 파악하여 최적 설계에 도움이 되는 자료로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

The effect of variation of pack activators, compositions, temperature and time on the thickness and structure of aluminide coatings formed on the TiAl alloy was studied in one-step packs and two-step packs containing aluminum for the purpose of improvement of oxidation resistance. The thickness of coating layer was increased with increasing $NH_4Cl$ content up to 3wt% and then it was saturated. Oxidation resistance of coating layers carried out at one step pack was superior to that of ones through of two step pack. The improvement of high temperature oxidation resistance was due to the formation of a protective $Al_2O_3$ surface layers and coating the alloys with $TiAl_3$ phase.

도재 라미네이트 비니어(Porcelain laminate veneer, PLV)는 아주 얇은 도재를 치면에 직접 적용시키는 술식으로 전치부 심미 개선을 목적으로 전부피개관 대신에 보존적으로 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 PLV의 성공을 높이기 위해 치질 삭제량을 적절히 조절하는 것은 어려울 뿐만 아니라, 각 치아마다 법랑질 두께가 다양하고 증령에 따라 치관구조 역시 변화하기 때문에 치아 삭제시 주의가 필요하다. 즉 치아 순면을 따라 일관되게 삭제하는 기존의 방법을 이용할 경우 법랑질이 얇아진 부위에서는 상아질이 노출될 위험이 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 다양한 치아 삭제 방법들이 소개되고 있는데 진단 납형제작을 통한 실리콘 인덱스와 아크릴릭 레진 mock-up을 이용한 방법은 최종적인 수복물의 형태에 기초하여 치아를 삭제할 수 있어 불필요한 법랑질 삭제를 줄이고 상아질 노출을 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 비정상적으로 배열된 치아 삭제시에도 적절한 삭제량 결정이 어려워 삭제량이 과도해지거나 부족해지기 쉬운데, 최종 보철물의 형태를 기준으로 실리콘 인덱스를 제작하면 이를 방지할 수 있다.
