The effects of modified atmosphere(MA) storage for fresh red chili pepper and red bell pepper fruits were investigated with storing in polyethylene film with various fine holes. During the storage of the both pepper fruits, the weight loss, color change, mold emergence, and firmness were evaluated. The weight loss of pepper fruits packaged without holes on film was less than 3%, even though it was each 50% and 25% for non packaged red chili pepper and red bell pepper fruits. The rates of mold emergence of red chili pepper and red bell pepper fruits were reached to each 60% and 50% at the end of storage period as stored in film without holes. However, the rate of mold emergence of pepper fruits was lowered when fruits were stored in MA with low relative humidity (70∼80%). The color and firmness of pepper fruits were not much changed when fruits were stored in MA with high humidity.

We investigated the effects of substrate, metal-line, and surface material on the performance of radio frequency identification(RFID) tag antenna using a tag antenna with a meander line radiator and T-matching network. The results showed that readability of the tag antenna with a thin high-loss substrate could be increased so that it was similar to that of a low-loss substrate if the substrate was very thin. The readability of the tag antenna decreased significantly when the metal line was thinner than the skin depth. The readability of the tag also decreased drastically when the tag was attached to high-permittivity high-loss target objects.

A silencer has been widely used for the purpose of suppressing the noises propagated from duct of air conditioning system. The absorption type silencer is usually applied to reduce the noise with high frequency bandwidth. On the order hand, the resonance type silencer is applied to reduce the noise with low-middle frequency bandwidth. The insertion loss of silencer is measured in the reverberation room. The cut-off frequency of reverberation room is 100 Hz. The insertion loss of absorption type silencer is more larger than that for resonance type silencer regardless of changing the flow velocity.

An active-clamped current-fed half-bridge converter is used for front-end converter for grid-connection of low voltage energy sources. In this paper, theoretical analysis on the loss and efficiency for an active-clamped current-fed half-bridge converter is presented. To analyze the loss of the presented converter, the RMS current of each device is derived and it's loss is calculated. The comparison between simulation result and computed value is presented to verify the validity of the theoretic results.

Recently, the demand for the low cost power conversion equipment is rapidly increased. To develop this three phase voltage source inverter, optimum power conversion equipment to system is designed. The optimum operation method to minimize the power loss also satisfy the life time of the power electronics that is request in the present industry. In this paper, the efficient operating method to change of the acceleration, jerk, and switching frequency in the interval of acceleration is selected to optimize the power loss and life time of the power electronics by using the elevator model. So, we proposed the method that 50[A] rating power electronics is adopted in 9[kW] load.

Gallium nitride (GaN)-based power switching devices, such as high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMT), provide significant performance improvements in terms of faster switching speed, zero reverse recovery, and lower on-state resistance compared with conventional silicon (Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET). These benefits of GaN HEMTs further lead to low loss, high switching frequency, and high power density converters. Through simulation and experimentation, this research thoroughly contributes to the understanding of performance characterization including the efficiency, loss distribution, and thermal behavior of a 160-W GaN-based synchronous boost converter under various output voltage, load current, and switching frequency operations, as compared with the state-of-the-art Si technology. Original suggestions on design considerations to optimize the GaN converter performance are also provided.

Internet telephony service is very cheap and very easy to introduce the value-added service than the POTS, but is difficult to the QoS of telephone service. The existing internet typically offers "best effort" services only, which do not make any commitment about delay, packet loss and jitter. This paper compensates the low quality of the speech for packet loss or delay using FEAPT algorithm in Internet phone. In the FEAPT algorithm, the receiver expands the received packet under resonable threshold, and hence compensates the QoS of speech.of speech.

Modified product Consistency Test (M-PCT) has been developed as an alternative to other existing methods in determining the leachability of glass. M-PCT, the leaching method, is a hybrid of MCC-l and PCT, but can provide quicker sample preparation. Larger diameter glass sample (1.0-2.0 mm) than in the PCT method can be used so that the glass beads are more easily produced and cleaned. From the M-PCT, the total mass loss (ML) of glass, the normalized elemental release rate (NLi), pH value of leachate have been obtained. For some selected glasses in which leaching rates have been known, their chemical durablility have been tested using the M-PCT method. The results are compared to the literature data for the glasses. It is found that M-PCT method is reasonable and suitable in determining the leachability of Low and Intermediate level Radioactive Waste glass form, such as the pH, elemental loss and total mass loss.

In this study, cathodic protection experiment was carried out by Al-alloy sacrificial anode in marine environments which have specific resistance($\rho$) if 25~7000$\Omega$.cm and investigated protection potential, current density and loss rate of Al-alloy sacrificial anode. The main results resistance($\rho$) of 400$\Omega$.cm, the cathodic protection potential appears high about-720 mV(SCE). But below specific resistance($\rho$) of 300$\Omega$.cm, the cathodic protection potential appears low about-770 mV(SCE) and simultaneously, cathode is protected sufficiently. 2) The loss rate of Al-Alloy sacrificial anode became large with decreasing specific resistance and increasing the ratio(A sub(c)/A sub(a) of bared surface area of anode and cathode. 3) The loss rate of Al-alloy sacrificial anode(w) to the mean current density of anode(i) is as follows. w=ai+b (a, b : experimental constants)

New zero voltage switched(ZVS) converter in which main switch is switched at zero voltage is proposed. A resonant inductor of conventional ZVS PW converter is replaced to two small saturable inductors in order to reduce conduction loss of auxiliary switch. Therefore, the switching loss of main switch is very low, and conduction losses of the main and auxiliary switch are lowered. The ZVS and above characteristics are verified by experimental results for a 200 kHz operation.
