A highly efficient class E power amplifier is demonstrated for application to wireless power transfer system. The amplifier is designed with an L-type matching at the output for harmonic rejection and output matching. The power loss and the effect of each component in the amplifier with the matching circuit are analyzed with the current ratio transmitted to the output load. Inductors with a quality factor of more than 120 are used in a dc feed and the matching circuit to improve transmission efficiency. The single-ended amplifier with 20 V supply voltage shows 7.7 W output power and 90.8% power added efficiency at 6.78 MHz. The wireless power transfer (WPT) system with the amplifier shows 5.4 W transmitted power and 82.3% overall efficiency. The analysis and measurements show that high-Q inductors are required for the amplifier design to realize highly efficient WPT system.

For the development of highly efficient quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs), it is important to enhance the electrocatalytic activity of the counter electrodes (CEs). Herein, a fabrication process of Cu₂S CEs are optimized for the development highly efficient QDSCs. The surface of brass film is treated with HCl solution to prepare the Cu₂S CEs, and the concentraion as well as the temperature of HCl solution are controlled. It is found that the uniformity for the thickness of prepared Cu₂S CEs is enhanced when the diluted HCl solution is used, compared to the HCl solution of standard concentration. In addition, the electrocatalytic activity of the Cu₂S CEs is also increased with the modificed process, which is confirmed by impedance data and Tafel polarization curves. As a result, the photoconversion efficiency of QDSCs is improved from 4.49% up to 5.73%, when the concentraion and temperature of the HCl treatment are efficiently optimized.

To reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emission in building sector, a ground source heat pump system has been highly adopted due to its high efficient by many regulation. A certification system has been operated to distribute reliable and high-efficient heat pump units. In this study, the performance status of the recently certified ground source heat pump unit with components was investigated. All heat pump units certified from 2015 to 2020 were water to water heat pump types. Compared to the past, higher capacity systems over 400 kW have been certificed. The cooling COP of the heat pump unit based on certification criteria showed higher value than the heating COP. It is highly recommended to revise the certified criteria values considering operating conditions individually. Most of ground source heat pump units have employed scroll type compressors and plate type heat exchangers with HFC refrigerant.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a knowledge-based real-time decision support system to support decision makers for efficient berth operation of Inchon Port. In these days, the efficient berth operation has been many studied. The berth operation rules differ from port to port and the problem is highly dependent on natural, geographical and operational environment of port. In Inchon Port, the ship's entrance into port and departure from port is extremely affected by the status of dock and berth because of capacity restriction. First, we analyzed the specific characteristics of Inchon Port such as dock based on the data of 1997. And then, we construct the database of experts knowledge for berth utilization. Finally, we build the real-time decision support system for the efficient berth operation of Inchon Port to make the better berth allocation in case of not only regular scheduling but also dynamic scheduling such as delay in berth operation and exchange of ship between berths. The DSS is developed with graphic user interface(GUI) concept to help the user determining user interactive updating of the port status. Then this DSS will be provide decision maker with an efficient and fast way to berth allocation, and reduce wastes of time, space, and manpower in Inchon Port operation.

High-efficiency mutually pumped phase conjugation (MPPC) has been realized in a BaTiO$_3$:Ce crystal in the bridge geometry. The laser source is a dye laser operating from 580 to 650 nm. We have observed that, with a beam ratio of 1, self-pumped phase conjugation (SPPC) appears and competes with MPPC at short wavelengths while it disappears at long wavelengths. When the beam ratio is slightly higher than 1, SPPC no longer occurs. Phase conjugate reflectivity near 500% has been obtained at a beam ratio of 70. Our experiments demonstrate that Ce-doped BaTiO$_3$crystals, which have already been found efficient in SPPC experiments, are also efficient for the generation of MPPC.

An efficient hybrid ARQ scheme based on the rate compatible block turbo codes has been proposed, and its performance has been analyzed. System efficiency is improved by means of adaptive rate code transmission using channel information, trading off bit rate for channel codes, with resulting energy saving. The rate adaptation scheme improves power efficiency while keeping packet delay minimized. On the other hand, power dependant strategies reduce power consumption. Simulation results show that the benefits obtained are very encouraging. The modified hybrid ARQ schemes with the channel information and efficient retransmission structures highly improve the throughput performance in the satellite communication system. Therefore, proposed schemes could be used in future communication systems.

In enhancing the technologies for the highly efficient and low pollution vehicles, the emitted sound by applying those techniques is degraded, which needs further vibro-acoustic tuning. The point of concern is usually related to the sound quality, and, sometimes, to the direct connection with the pedestrian safety. In this talk, a brief discussion is given to the sound quality issues on the start-stop function, cylinder-on-demand, engine down-sizing, turbo-chargers, road noise, and artificial warning sound.

The traveling salesman problem is a representative NP-Complete problem. It needs lots of time to get a solution as the number of city increase. So, we need an efficient heuristic algorithm that gets good solution in a short time. Almost edges that participate in optimal path have somewhat low value cost. This paper discusses the property of nearest neighbor and 3-opt. This paper uses nearest neighbor's property to select candidate edge. Candidate edge is a set of edge that has high probability to improve cycle path. We insert edge that is one of candidate edge into intial cycle path. As two cities are connected. It does not satisfy hamiltonian cycle's rule that every city must be visited and departed only one time. This paper uses 3-opt's method to sustain hamiltonian cycle while inserting edge into cycle path. This paper presents a highly efficient heuristic algorithm verified by numerous experiments.

The Conjugate Finite-Step Length" (CFSL) algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency and robustness of first order reliability method (FORM) for reliability analysis of highly nonlinear problems. The conjugate FORM-based CFSL is formulated using the adaptive conjugate search direction based on the finite-step size with simple adjusting condition, gradient vector of performance function and previous iterative results including the conjugate gradient vector and converged point. The efficiency and robustness of the CFSL algorithm are compared through several nonlinear mathematical and structural/mechanical examples with the HL-RF and "Finite-Step-Length" (FSL) algorithms. Numerical results illustrated that the CFSL algorithm performs better than the HL-RF for both robust and efficient results while the CFLS is as robust as the FSL for structural reliability analysis but is more efficient.

Current status of soybean transformation method in Korera was reviewed with recent publications. Most frequently used method for genetic transformation was Agrobacterium-mediated transformation on cotyledonary node which is most popular method used in foreign country. In addition to this, various methods such as sonicationmediated transformation, in planta transformation, and transformation on meristem tissue of germinating seed, have been tried in Korea, even though their efficiencies on repeatability and stability were relatively low. Based on the promising results developed recently by reviewer, several important considerations for successful soybean transformations were suggested. They are 1) proper genotype screening, 2) targeting transformation on exact point, 3) multiple shoot formation, 4) efficient selection pressure, 5) successful shoot elongation, 6) efficient root formation. These are the basic requirements for stable and highly efficient soybean transformation of Korean soybean.
