The purpose of this study is to examine the necessity of 'emergency plumbing equipment for preventing the spread of water leakage'. It reviews social and economic costs when there is spread of water leakage and finds out that those are enormous. Expansion of water leakage causes conflicts between neighbors, economic loss and inconvenience from damages on facilities like elevator and power failure. Next, it examines the inability of existing plumbing equipment when it comes to spread of water leakage. Newly defined 'Surface Leakage' means rapid leak in the surface, and 'Internal Leakage' means seeping out slowly and gradually buried in the pipeline. It will also be analyzed by separating the concept of a leak in the two concepts of a 'Surface Leakage' and 'Internal Leakage'. It proposes emergency plumbing equipment for preventing the spread of water leakage as a solution for the expansion of water leakage. It explains general concepts of emergency plumbing equipment for preventing the spread of water leakage. It will also examine the effectiveness of the user by performing a survey of 420 multi-level building their opinion on the effects of an emergency plumbing equipments to prevent the spread of water leakage.

Research and development for the technology, that is about maintenance and accidents prevention of underground power distribution line, are demanding. The precise detection of leakage point of underground power line is very important, because it is difficult to detect the exact location of a fault in underground power line and to repair faults. When earth electric potential is measured to detect underground electric leakage point after transmitting AC electric pulse wave to underground power line, it must be measured in a specific half period of AC pulse wave because the distribution of the electric earth potential varies with the polarity of the transmitted wave. In this paper we proposed the measurement of half period modulated earth potential as a method to detect a underground leakage point. And We compared the proposed method with other methods. Through experiments we verified that the proposed method can be implemented and operated properly.

In this paper, we propose an improved magnetic field shielding structure to reducing the magnetic field generated in the wireless power transfer system operating at a low frequency band. The proposed structure consists of the magnetic material and the conductive material, magnetic field cancelling effect for power transfer is minimized while improving the leakage magnetic field cancelling effect by optimizing the various design parameters in the proposed structure. We analyzed and verified the efficiency of the wireless power transfer system and the reduction effect of the leakage magnetic field through computer simulation and measurement. Analysis results show that power transfer efficiency of the wireless power transfer system utilizing the proposed structure is 77 %, which is maintained at the conventional power transfer efficiency. In addition, compared with the structure maintaining high power transfer efficiency, leakage magnetic field strength is reduced to 29~37 % at the nearest point.

In recent years, electric shock accidents due to electric leakage currents of household appliances such as computers, TVs, refrigerators, and LED lights are continuously occurring in homes and industrial buildings. And it is not easy to check the leakage current of each household appliances connected in parallel at the rear end of the module. In addition, the leakage current flowing through the path of the normal current other than the existing current leakage circuit breakers are installed in the distribution box, only the function to cut off the power when the leakage. Therefore, there are various disasters such as electric shock and fire caused by short circuit of household appliances, and the risk of such leakage current is seriously presented. In this paper, we propose a method to implement a leakage monitoring system that can be monitored at all times using Zigbee communication based on IEEE 80215.4, which has advantages in low power and low cost among short range wireless communication systems.

In this paper, Asynchronous Self-Power Gating technique (ASPG) is used to reduce consumption power in asynchronous digital watch application. The power gating control signal is automatically generated by internal system operation characteristics instead of using replica circuit delay or four-phase handshaking protocol. Isolation cell is designed to insert it between power gating domain and normal operation domain. By using self-power gating circuit, asynchronous digital watch application consumes very low power and maintains data during sleep mode. The comparison results show the proposed ASPG technique saves leakage power up to 40.47% and delay time is reduced to 71% compared to the conventional circuit.

This study proposes an enhanced quadruple-Active-Bridge (QAB) converter that can solve power coupling problems. By adopting a multiple winding transformer, the equivalent circuit of a conventional QAB converter has power couplings between arbitrary output ports. This coupling is an unintended power relationship that complicates the regulation of output voltage of the multiple ports. The proposed converter can carry out power decoupling by changing the arrangement of the coupling inductor. Power transfer equations for the proposed converter and its operating principles are analyzed in detail. The power coupling caused by the transformer's leakage inductance is verified by using a proposed coupling factor that presents the relationship between inductance ratio and coupling power. In addition, the decoupling power control performance of the proposed converter is verified by simulation and a 3 kW prototype converter.

It is well known that the degradation transformer oil is mainly effected to the failure of transformer. In this paper it is discussed the characteristics of the degradation sensor checking transformer oil condition in live line. The degadation sensor composed with base ring, electrodes and porous ceramic passed through the transformer oil and checked the transformer oil condition with sensor's leakage current. It is important to minimize the leakage current of base ring and connection parts. To investigate the leakage current of base ring and connection parts it is examined the characteristics of V-T-I and DC 2 KV and other examinations. It is verified that ionized transformer caused by the expansion of oil temperature increase in the leakage current of porous ceramic sensor. It is certificated that the leakage current of other parts of porous ceramic is very small (about 2 %) than the porous ceramic and it is confirmed that the leakage current in porous ceramic is changed sensitively according to the new oil(NO) and and the degradation oil(DO).

Thermal stratification has continuously caused several piping failures in nuclear power plants since the early 1980s. However, this critical thermal effect was not considered when the old nuclear power plants were designed. Therefore, it is urgent to evaluate this unexpected thermal effect on the structural integrity of piping systems. In this paper, the thermal effects of stratified flow in two different safety injection piping systems were investigated by using a coupled CFD-FE method. Since stratified flow is generally generated by turbulent penetration and/or valve leakage, thermal stress analyses as well as CFD analyses were carried out considering these two primary causes. Numerical results show that the most critical factor governing thermal stratification is valve leakage and that temperature distribution significantly changes according to the leakage path. In particular, in-leakage has a high possibility of causing considerable structural problems in RCS piping.

In this paper, we analyzed the vulnerability of information leakage due to the leakage electromagnetic waves of a PC keyboard. First, we reviewed the keyboard protocol and hardware structure, we analyzed the correlation between the data signal, which is transmitted from the keyboard to the main body, and the leakage signal on the power cable. With the result, we grasped the cause of the Conducted Emission of a PC keyboard. Also, we compared the limit level of the CISPR 22 standard with the amplitude of the keyboard leakage electromagnetic waves we calculated. By analyzing the signal on the power cable of the PC main body through the simple experiment, we show that it is possible to extract the contents of the PC key. Therefore it is verified that the secret information of the PC user could leak out.

This paper presents the results of spectral analysis of leakage current waveforms on contaminated insulators under various fog and environment conditions(salt fog, clean fog, rain) The larger the leakage current during 200ms, the higer the power spectrum at 60Hz. For almost equal maximum current during 200ms, however, the spectrum at 60hz and the odd order harmonics increase emphatically when discharges occur continuously for several half-waves. If contaminated insulators suffers from high salt-density fog, the leakage current occurs with high crest value intermittently, results in the low spectrum. Analysis of leakage current data showed that this electrical activity was characterized by transient arcing behavior contaminants are deposited on the insulator surface during salt fog tests. This provides a path for the leakage current to flow along the surface of the insulator. It is important to have an indication of the pollution accumulation in order to evulate the test performance of a particular insulator. If the drop in surface resistivity is severe enough, then the leakage current may escalate into s service interrupting flashover that degrade power quality.
