Application of eddy current sensing principle for the non-contact estimation of very low concentration of electrolytic solution is presented in this paper. for this application, a new, simple, low-cost, low-power structure for the eddy current sensor is proposed. By measuring the eddy current produced in the conducting electrolytic solution, the concentration is estimated. Therefore, the unknown concentration can be estimated comparing with the database which is prepared as the relation between the change in inductance and various concentrations of electrolytic solution. The concentration, as low as l ppm of the solutioin can be detected by this sensor. It was tested on various low concentration solutions of NaCl. It shows distinct response for various concentrations.

Schottky contacts on n-In$\_$0.53//Ga$\_$0.47//As have been made by metal deposition on substrates cooled to a temperature of 77K. The current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics showed that the Schottky diodes formed at low temperature had a much improved barrier height compared to those formed at room temperature. The Schottky barrier height ø$\_$B/ was found to be increased from 0.2eV to 0.6eV with Ag metal. The saturation current density of the low temperature diode was about 4 orders smaller than for the room temperature diode. A current transport mechanism dominated by thermionic emission over the barrier for the low temperature diode was found from current-voltage-temperature measurement. Deep level transient spectroscopy studies exhibited a bulk electron trap at E$\_$c/-0.23eV. The low temperature process appears to reduce metal induced surface damage and may form an MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor)-like structure at the interface.

When the automotive body enters an electrocoating tank while applying an electric current, its steel surface is exposed to a very low induced current. Consequently, surface defects of coating may arise if the steel surface has lack of electric uniformity due to local defects such as local oxide. In this study, we investigated the preceding assessment methods to evaluate steel susceptibility of the low induced current during electrocoating before mass production. Prior to general electrocoating, we applied low constant voltage such as 3V or low constant current densities such as $0.35mA/cm^2$ and $0.50mA/cm^2$. In result, we confirmed that such methods were efficient for assessing steel susceptibility of low induce current during electrocoating.

The conduction mechanisms of the off-current in low temperature ($\leq$600$^{\circ}C$) processed polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (LTP poly-Si TFT's) has been systematically studied. Especially, the temperature and bias dependence of the off-current between unpassivated and passivated poly-Si TFT's was investigated and compared. The off-current of unpassivated poly-Si TFT's is due to a resistive current at low gate and drain voltage, thermal emission current at high gate, low drain voltage, and field enhanced thermal emission current in the depletion region near the drain at high gate and drain voltage. After hydrogenation, it was observed that the off-currents were remarkably reduced by plasma-hydrogenation. It was also observed that the off-currents of the passivated poly-Si TFT's are more critically dependent on temperature rather than electric field.

This study investigated the electrochemical recovery of palladium in a HCl solution that is used for palladium leaching. The high acidity of HCl solution and the low concentration of Pd ions increased the cathodic overpotential and reduced the limiting current density. Lowering the current density produced dense deposits; however, they were under high tensile stress. Raising the temperature affected both the densification and the stress, which enabled the attainment of dense Pd deposits under low stress. Lowering the current density and raising the temperature up to 70$^{\circ}C$ was recommended for the recovery of palladium as sound bulk Pd deposits. Current efficiency was over 85% at the initial stage of recovery may decrease the current efficiency, since a low Pd ion concentration results in a low limiting current density.

Three HF ocean radar stations were installed at the Soya/La Perouse Strait in the Sea of Okhotsk in order to monitor the Soya Warm Current. The frequency of the HF radar is 13.9 MHz, and the range and azimuth resolutions are 3 km and $5^{\circ}$, respectively. The radar covers a range of approximately 70 km from the coast. It is shown that the HF radars clearly capture seasonal and short-term variations of the Soya Warm Current. The velocity of the Soya Warm Current reaches its maximum, approximately 1 m $s^{-1}$, in summer, and weakens in winter. The velocity core is located 20 to 30 km from the coast, and its width is approximately 50 km. The surface transport by the Soya Warm Current shows a significant correlation with the sea level difference along the strait, as derived from coastal tide gauge records. The cross-current sea level difference, which is estimated from the sea level anomalies observed by the Jason-1 altimeter and a coastal tide gauge, also exhibits variation in concert with the surface transport and along-current sea level difference.

Three HF ocean radar stations were installed at the Soya Strait in the Sea of Okhotsk in order to monitor the Soya Warm Current. Frequency of the HF radar is 13.9 MHz, and range and azimuth resolutions are 3 km and 5 deg., respectively. Surface current velocity observed by the radars shows good agreement with drifting buoy and shipboard ADCP observations. The velocity of Soya Warm Current reaches its maximum, which is about 1 m/s, in summer, and becomes weak in winter. The surface transport across the strait shows a significant correlation with the sea level difference along the strait.

Three-level PWM rectifiers applied in medium voltage applications usually operate at low switching frequency to keep the dynamic losses under permitted level. However, low switching frequency brings a heavy cross-coupling between the current components $i_d$ and $i_q$ with a poor dynamic system performance and a harmonic distortion in the grid-connecting current. To overcome these problems, a mathematical model based on complex variables of the three-level voltage source PWM rectifier is firstly established, and the reasons of above issues resulted from low switching frequency have been analyzed using modern control theory. Then, a novel control strategy suitable for the current decoupling control based on the complex variables for $i_d$ and $i_q$ is designed here. The comparisons between this kind of control strategy and the normal PI method have been carried out. MATLAB and experimental results are given in detail.

This paper presents the trend of low voltage and high current technology for DC-DC converters. It can be said that the output voltage of the on-board power supply has been rapidly moving forward a low voltage in proportion to the minuteness of the semiconductors. As for as its speed is concerned, the change of the market situation seems to be faster than that of R&D for the low voltage and high current products put out by power supply manufacturers. Here, the present situation and the trend of non-isolated type step-down DC-DC converter and isolated type DC-DC converter called "Brick" will be taken up mainly from the fellowing point of view. -low voltage and high current keeping up with the current demand for the latest telecommunication networks and broadband. -build-up of the total solution for dispersion system power supply. In this paper, an explanation is given to mainly concerning to the newest products in the supplier's position.

This paper presents protection techniques against electric shock in low voltage DC(direct current) grounding systems depending on the analysis of earth fault current paths. Firstly, the comparison between alternating current and direct current on human was conducted, and current threshold values for each current path and for long duration were analyzed. Secondly, the analyses of the earth fault current flows were performed depending on the grounding types and earth fault conditions. Lastly, based on these analyses, adequate protection measures of electric shock depending on low voltage DC grounding types were provided.
