A tractor attached TMR(model 430) mixer has been developed in a previous study. However, the mixer was found to be improved through field applications in its capacity, manufacturing cost, ergonomic design and power-train requirement. The TMR mixer was modified into a model TMR500, approved by Institute of Agricultural Mechanization, as follows : 1. Roughage cutting system was seperated from the mixer, resulting in the 33% reduction of manufacturing cost. 2. Enlarged hopper capacity enabled to feed 60 heads at a batch. 3. Hydraulically controlled gate system saved ergonomic man power. 4. Power transmission system was changed from a chain-sprocket system(27:1) to the gear-train reduction system(38.6:1) to satisfy the recommended use of 540rpm PTO input.

In this paper, we designed the double conversion down mixer by using Half-LO frequency in 2.3 GHz band. The IF frequency is obtained by supplying two LO frequencies to HEMT in both gate type and resistive type. The proposed mixer uses Half-LO frequency the same way as conventional sub-harmonic mixers. However the proposed one uses fundamental component of Half-LO frequency in first stage instead of using second harmonic components of Half-LO frequency, and the IF frequency is obtained by resistive type mixer in second stage, thereby the proposed mixer can improve linearity in comparison with conventional active mixer. We can verify that the proposed mixer has an conversion loss of 5dBm and IIP3 of 16.25dBm by using 10 dBm Power.

A MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) mixer chip using the Schottky diode of an InGahs/CaAs p-HEMT process has been developed for the receiver down converter of Ku-band. A different approach to the MMIC mixer structure is applied for reducing the chip size by the exchange of ports between If and LO. This MMIC covers with RF (14.0 - 14.5 GHz) and If (12.252 - 12.752 GHz). According to the on-wafer measurement, the miniature (3.3X3.0 m) MMIC mixer demonstrates conversion loss below 9.8 dB, RF-to-IF isolation above 23 dB, LO-to-IF isolation above 38 dB, respectively.

In general, the gears of mixer reducer for concrete mixer truck make use of the differential type planetary gear system to rotate mixer drum smoothly on the initial conditions. The planetary gear system is very important part of mixer reducer for concrete mixer truck because of strength problem. In the present study, calculating the gear specifications and analyzing the gear bending & compressive stresses of the differential planetary gear system for mixer reducer are necessary to analyze gear bending and compressive stresses confidently, for optimal design of the planetary gear system in respect to cost and reliability. As a result, analyzing actual gear bending and compressive stresses of the planetary gear system using Lewes & Hertz equation and verifying the calculated specifications of the planetary gear system, evaluate the results with the data of allowable bending and compressive stress from the Stress-No. of cycles curves of gears.

In this paper, a 2.4 GHz low-voltage CMOS double-balanced down-conversion mixer using neutralization technique has been proposed and verified by circuit simulations and measurements. The grounded source structure was used for low-voltage operation. The neutralization technique was used to improve a conversion gain. The proposed mixer is fabricated in $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS process for a 2.4 GHz wireless receiver. The mixer consumes 1.94 mW and gives conversion gain of 5.66 dB, input IP3 of 0.7 dBm and P1dB of -11.2 dBm at 1.5 V power supply. Measured results for the designed mixer show improved conversion gain of 2.86 dB over conventional mixer of grounded source structure.

Industrial mixers to homogeneously blend particulate materials have been developed and widely used in various industries. However, most industrial mixers have at most two-degree-of-freedom for the operation, which limits the range of operation parameter selection for optimal blending. This paper proposes a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic mixer designed by converging a conventional drum blender and a robotic manipulator and evaluated its performance in a virtual operating environment. Discrete element simulations were conducted for mixing performance evaluation. The numerical results showed that the proposed mixer design exhibits a better mixing performance than conventional ones.

This paper describes the design for the resistive FET mixer with low If for the 4-Ch DBF(Digital Beam Forming) receiver This DBF receiver based on the direct conversion method is generally suitable for high-speed wireless mobile communications. A radio frequency(RF), a local oscillator(LO) and an intermediate frequency(If) considered in this research are 2.09 GHz, 2.08 CHz and 10 MHz, respectively. This mixer is composed of band pass filter, a low pass filter and a DC bias circuit. Super low noise HJ FET of NE3210S01 is considered in design. The RE input power, LO input power and Vcs are used -10 dBm, 6 dBm and -0.4 V, respectively. In the 4-Ch resistive FET mixer, the measured If and harmonic components of 10 MHe, 20 MHz and 2.087 CHz are about -19.2 dBm, -66 dBm and -48 dBm, respectively The If output power observed at each channel of 10 MHz is about -19.2 dBm and it is higher 28.8 dBm than the maximum harmonic component of 2.087 CHz. Each If output spectrum of the 4-Ch is observed almost same value and it shows a good agreement with the prediction.

Recently, mixers are being widely used in the water purification plant in order to increase the filtration efficiency. The mixer normally consists of impeller, shaft, hub, reduction gear, and the driving motor. It is one of the key design issues to confirm that the vibration caused by the rotation of the shaft should not coincide with the natural vibration frequency of the shaft itself. The vibration characteristics of the hydrofoil type mixer, which is the most widely used in real plants are evaluated through the finite element modeling and verified by experiment using the mock-up facility. The fundamental natural frequency of the mixer's shaft is found to be around 1.8 Hz which showed in good agreement with the experiment. The higher natural frequencies to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th modes are also verified by the experiment. Thus the developed model is to be utilized for the structural design of the real mixer system.

In this paper, we designed resistive MMIC mixer using $0.5{\mu}m$ p-HEMT process. This Mixer is designed to have a similar performance in -4 ~ 4 dBm local oscillator signal power level and to maintain a constant conversion loss and linear performance due to the variation of local signal. In order to have such characteristics, we designed new feedback circuit topology by using FET, and minimized performance change for LO signal power level variation, also obtain MMIC mixer characteristics which is able to apply in wideband. In the design result, When the LO signal power is -4 ~ 4 dBm, there was 6 dB conversion loss and it came up with the excellent result that IIP3 got over 30 dBm in 0.5 ~ 2.6GHz frequency band.

A simple design method of a single balanced MMIC mixer is described. It uses small signal S11 and capacitive load for the input matching circuit and the output loading circuit, respectively. It is found that the conversion gain of the FET mixer is independent of FET gate width. The fabricated mixer has 2.5 dB conversion gain at 9 GHz with 50 ohm IF load and 2 dBm local oscillator power.
