We carroed our to measure the variations of potential with current density (polarization curves) for poly(ethyleneterephthalate). The results were particularly examined to identify the influences on corrosion potential and corrosion rate of various factors including temperature, pH, exposure time, salt, and enzyme. The Tafel slope for anodic dissolution was determined by the polarization effect depending on these conditions. The optimum conditions were established for each case. The second anodic current density peak and maximum passive current density were designated as the relative corrosion sensitivity$(I_r/I_f)$. The mass transfer coefficient value$(\alpha)$ was determined with the Tafel slope for anodic dissolution based on the polarization effect with optimum conditions.

There exist the high frequency components, which can not be predicted by the low frequency model, due to the presence of sampling effect in current mode control. In this paper, the output voltage equations for the ZVS half bridge PWM convertor are derived from the steady state analysis, and the sampling gain presented in the current control loop is Investigated to improve the Prediction Performance of low frequency model of ZVS half bridge PWM converter.

We have proposed a novel self-aligned offset gated polysilicon TFTs device without an offset mask in order to reduce a leakage current and suppress a kink effect. The photolithographic process steps of the new TFTs device are identical to those of conventional non-offset structure TFTs and an additional mask to fabricate an offset structure is not required in our device due to the self-aligned process. The new device has demonstrated a lower leakage current and a better ON/OFF current ratio compared with the conventional non-offset device. The new TFT device also exhibits a considerable reduction of the kink effect because a very thin film TFT devices may be easily fabricated due to the elimination of contact over-etch problem.

The theoretical current density equations for organic semiconductors was derived according to the internal carrier emission equation based on the diffusion model at the Schottky barrier contact and the mobility equation based on the field dependence model, the so-called "Poole-Frenkel mobility model." The electric field becomes constant because of the absence of a space charge effect in the case of a higher injection barrier height and a lower sample thickness, but there is distribution in the electric field because of the space charge effect in the case of a lower injection barrier height and a higher sample thickness. The transition between the injection- and bulk-limited currents was presented according to the Schottky barrier height and the sample thickness change.

This paper deals with the electric and thermal characteristics of the composite busbar composed of aluminum and copper. When AC current is flowing in Cu busbar used widely in conservative equipments like power cable, transformer, and switchgear & controlgear most current is concentrated on the surface of the busbar by the skin effect. Therefore, if the Cu region in the busbar having low current density is replaced with aluminum, we can largely reduce the product cost and weight of the busbar. To conform the performance of the composite busbar, we designed and fabricated a test Al/Cu composite busbar. Maximun temperature rise of the busbar was $35^{\circ}C$ when 1600 Arms of AC current was applied to the test composite busbar($120mm{\times}10mm$). Based on test results, we can expect to make the low-priced and light power equipments using the Al/Cu composite busbar.

The optical current transformer using Faraday effect is the sensor to measure current that flows in any conductor. This sensor doesn't undergo the magnetic saturation and effect of adjacent conductors. But this senor using bulk-glass sensing clement has crucial drawback. It is impossible that the sensor is mounted to conductor without breaking the closed-loop of light or conductor. So we developed the clamp-type optical current transformer and made an experiment.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether vasodilation occurs when interferential current is applied to the cervical sympathetic chain and peripheral sympathetic nerves. A digital thermometer was used to record skin temperature change. The protocols used for interferential stimulation were 90-100 Hz, applied for 20 minutes via two pairs of electrodes 1) to the throat and 2) to the forearm. Forty subjects were stimulated at each of the two sites. There was no significant correlation between inital skin temperature, sex or age and temperature change. Even though there was a statistically significant temperature increase with cervical sympathetic chain stimulation, this had no clinical vasodilatory effect. More research on interferential current stimulation is needed so that the potential benefits to normal subjects and patients is better understood.

The rotor that initially converts the flow energy into rotational energy is a very important component that affects the efficiency of the entire tidal current power system. Rotor performance is determined by various design variables. Power generation is strongly dependent on the incoming flow velocity and the size of the rotor. To extract a large quantity of power, a tidal current farm is necessary with a multi-arrangement of devices in the ocean. However, the interactions between devices also contribute significantly to the total power capacity. Therefore, rotor performance, considering the interaction problems, needs to be investigated to maximize the power generation in a limited available area. The downstream rotor efficiency is affected by the wake produced from the upstream rotor. This paper introduces the performance of a downstream rotor affected by wakes from an upstream rotor, demonstrating the interference affecting various gabs between devices.

In this paper, the effects of superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) installed in power distribution system on reliability are evaluated and analyzed. The fault current will be decreased in power distribution system with SFCL because of the increased impedance of SFCL. The decreased fault current will improve the voltage drop of the bus of substation. The voltage drop is an important factor of power distribution system reliability. In this paper, improvement of reliability worth is analyzed when SFCLs are installed at the starting point in power distribution system. First, resistor-type SFCL model is used in PSCAD/EMTDC. Next, typical power distribution system is modeled. Finally, when the SFCLs with impedance 0.5 [${\Omega}$] are installed in feeder, power distribution system reliability is evaluated. Also, the improvement effect of reliability worth including the effect of voltage sag is analyzed using customer interruption cost according to whether or not SFCL is installed.
