In recent years, the multilevel converters have been given more attention due to their modularity, reliability, failure management and multi stepped output waveform with less total harmonic distortion. This paper presents a novel symmetric multilevel inverter topology with reduced switching components to generate a high quality stepped sinusoidal voltage waveform. The series and parallel combinations of switches in the proposed topology reduce the total number of conducting switches in each level of output voltages. In addition, a comparison between the proposed topology with another topology from the literature is presented. To verify the proposed topology, the computer based simulation model is developed using MATLAB/Simulink and experimentally with a prototype model results are then compared.

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin fills were deposited onto the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate by the pulsed laser deposition with the second harmonic wavelength (532 nm) of Nd:YAG laser. In order to determine the optimum conditions for the film deposition, the phase of the films were investigated as functions of ambient oxygen pressure, substrate temperature, and laser fluence. Also the chemical composition analysis was conducted for the PZT films deposited under various ambient oxygen pressure. When the distance between substrate and bulk PZT target is set to 20 mm, the optimum conditions have been determined to be 3 torr of oxygen pressure, 1.5 J/cm2 of laser fluence, and 823-848(±10) K range of substrate temperature. At these conditions, perovskite phase PZT films were obtained on platinized silicon. The chemical composition of the films is very similar to that of PZT bulk target. The physical structure of the deposited films analyzed by scanning electron microscopy shows a columnar morphology perpendicular to the substrate surface. Capacitance-Voltage hysteresis loop measurements show also a typical characteristics of ferroelectric thin film. The dielectric constant is found to be 528 for the 0.48 μm thickness of PZT thin film.

The geometrical parameters and binding energies of the benzene ion-water complex [$C_6H_6^+-(H_2O)_n$(n=1-5)] have been investigated using ab initio (MP2) and density functional theory (DFT) with large basis sets. The harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are also determined to confirm that all the optimized geometries are true minima. Also zero-point vibrational energies have been considered to predict the binding energies. The predicted binding energy of 8.6 kcal/mol for $C_6H_6^+-(H_2O)$ at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory is in excellent agreement with recent experimental result of $8.5{\pm}1$ kcal/mol.

Apertures and PBG(Photonic Band Gap) has been employed on the ground plane in the coupled line filter simultaneously. In order to observe the maximum bandwidth, we used the line gap 0.2mm which is can be made in our lab. Band-pass filter type is four-stage coupled strip line filter. Teflon has been used for the substrate ($\varepsilon$$\sub$r/=3.2). The center frequency and the bandwidth are 2.18GHz and 230MHz, respectively. The bandwidth is broaden from 230MHz to 310MHz (80Mhz, about 34.7%) by aperture effect and harmonic frequencies are suppressed to 20-30dB by PBG effect. So the harmonic frequencies have been suppressed by the PBG effect and the bandwidth are broaden by aperture effect.

In this paper, we propose a packet loss concealment (PLC) algorithm using pitch harmonic motion prediction and adaptive signal amplitude prediction and. The spectral motion prediction method divides the spectral motion of the previous usable frame into predetermined sub-bands to predict and restore the motion of the lost signal. In the proposed algorithm, the speech signal is classified into voiced and unvoiced sounds. In the case of voiced sounds, it is further divided into pitch harmonics using the pitch frequency to predict and restore the pitch harmonic motion of the lost frame, and for the unvoiced sound, the lost frame is restored using the spectral motion prediction method. When the continuous loss of speech frames occurs, a method of adjusting the gain using the least mean square (LMS) predictor is proposed. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated through the objective evaluation method, PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality) and was showed MOS 0.1 improvement over the conventional method.

In this paper, we report highly efficient second harmonic generation of continuous-wave Yb fiber lasers incorporating a periodically poled LiTaO₃ device (MgO:PPSLT) as a frequency converter. The seed laser output from a Yb fiber master oscillator using a Fabry-Perot feedback cavity was amplified in a Yb fiber amplifier stage, yielding 28.5 W of linearly polarized output at 1064 nm in a beam with beam quality, M², of ~1.07. Second harmonic generation was achieved by passing the laser beam through MgO:PPSLT. Under optimized conditions, we obtained 11.1 W of green laser output at 532 nm for an incident signal power of 25.0 W at 1064 nm, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 44.4%. The detailed investigation to find the optimized operating conditions and prospects for further improvement are discussed.

The geometrical parameters, total and relative energies, vibrational frequencies, the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, and reorganization energies for the neutral molecule, anion, and cation of $C_{16}H_{16}O_3$ have been determined using density functional method (DFT). The highest level of theory employed in this study is $B3LYP/6-311G^{**}$. Harmonic vibrational frequencies were determined at the $B3LYP/6-311G^{**}$ level of theory. All positive vibrational frequencies were obtained to confirm minimum structures. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap and reorganization energies were calculated to predict the charge transport property of liquid-crystal.

A model predictive current control (MPCC) method that does not employ a cost function is proposed. The MPCC method can decrease common-mode voltages in loads fed by three-phase voltage-source inverters. Only non-zero-voltage vectors are considered as finite control elements to regulate load currents and decrease common-mode voltages. Furthermore, the three-phase future reference voltage vector is calculated on the basis of an inverse dynamics model, and the location of the one-step future voltage vector is determined at every sampling period. Given this location, a non-zero optimal future voltage vector is directly determined without repeatedly calculating the cost values obtained by each voltage vector through a cost function. Without utilizing the zero-voltage vectors, the proposed MPCC method can restrict the common-mode voltage within ± V_dc/6, whereas the common-mode voltages of the conventional MPCC method vary within ± V_dc/2. The performance of the proposed method with the reduced common-mode voltage and no cost function is evaluated in terms of the total harmonic distortions and current errors of the load currents. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method operated without a cost function, which can reduce the common-mode voltage.
