Zinc oxide-based MOV was fabricated with $SiO_2$ additive ranging from 0.5 to 4.0 mol%, and the microstructure and electrical characteristics were investigated. $Zn_2SiO_4$ phase formed by $SiO_2$ additive was distributed at ZnO grains, grain boundaries, and multiple grain junctions. As the content of $SiO_2$ additive increases, average grain size decreased from 40.6 to $26.9{\mu}m$ due to the Pinning effect by $Zn_2SiO_4$ at grain boundaries Breakdown voltage and nonlinear exponent increased, and leakage current decreased in the range of $11.2{\sim}6.14{\mu}A$ with an increasing $SiO_2$. Donor concentration and interface state density decreased, and barrier height increased in the range of $0.71{\sim}1.04eV$ with an increasing $SiO_2$. While, as the content of $SiO_2$ additive, apparent dielectric constant decreased, peak frequency of dissipation factor decreased in the range of $6.45{\times}10^5{\sim}3.00{\times}10^5Hz$, and dissipation peak was $0.31{\sim}0.22$ at Peak frequency.

In this study, we analyzed how ozone pollution could be differently measured and how these different measures varied year to year and across the ten most populated cities in the United States, from 1980 to 2000. Although peak values of ozone concentration have been significantly reduced in most polluted U.S. cities for the last 20 years, the annual average values of ozone concentration have not been lowered as much as peak values. Ozone concentration data for each city shows a unique pattern of distribution, central tendency, and also there is a wide variation among different ozone measures. Two different cities with the same annual mean concentration of ozone can experience very different distributions of ozone concentration within a year. Ozone measures also show a wide margin of variability as they are estimated from different ozone monitoring sites within each city. Ozone pollution statistics can be largely varied depending on the choice of measures, monitoring sites, and averaging time period. EPA's new ozone standard of 0.08 ppm averaged over an eight-hour appears to be more stringent than the current maximum ozone standard of 0.12 ppm averaged over one hour.

Recently, much power demand from domestic power consumer is weakening the allowable power reserve margin in summer, especially at midday for one day due to a steep increase of air cooling loads such as air conditioner. Therefore solar airconditioning system can'be considered as one of the best remedies to meet the increase of peak power. Generally in solar air conditioning system, the diode rectifier is used to build up DC link voltage from AC source. The diode rectifier is simple and cheap but it brings out the problems of low power factor and plentiful harmonics at the AC source. Also It can derate the utilization rate of solar energy because the reverse of power flow cannot be made. Hence, in this paper to overcome the peak power problem in summer and to endure good AC input characteristics, solar air conditioning system using the PWM converter is proposed. As results, obtained are the characteristics of the PWM converter such as low distorted current waveform, high power factor and bidirectional power control. And also the stability of proposed system is verified by examining the dynamics of step load change and power reversal testing. (author). refs., figs., tabs.

In general, Diode makes a major role in electronic circuit. For example, switching of rectifier, cross current of switching rectifier, energy transfer of electronic element and reverse charge of capacitor, voltage insulation, energy feedback from load to power supply, and such as recovery of storaged energy. Generally, We regard power diode as ideal element, but it has a certain boundary actually, specially, We use diode for detecting circuit peak hold voltage signal. It has cut in voltage. It occurs error of measurement value namely. This error, below in region diode voltage drop (0.7v) measurement value is wholesome signal, Specially, We can not get precision data. Therefore, precision level is low between theoretical and measurement data because of error in actual circuit. Conclusionally, In this paper, We define the error concerning to the power diode characteristics which is used detecting of the minute signal, and recommend the method that minimize measurement error.

Since much studies have been performed concerning the electrochemical behaviors and the practical applications of PB based devices, little has yet reported to investigate the best condition for the preparation for PB thin films. As considered some factors(peak shape, peak current, and peak separation) from the i-V curves, the optimal condition in the film growth were investigated under various immersion solutions. An electron-transfer processes of Fe2+/Fe3+ and Fe(CN)63-/4- redox couples were considered by measuring the observed currents as a function of the rotation velocity. The standard heterogeneous electron-transfer rates for these films and bare Au disc electrode in 10-3 M Fe2+/Fe3+ solution, applied at +0.65 V vs. SCE, were 6.14 × 10-3 and 7.78 × 10-3 cm/s, respectively, obtained using a rotating disc electrode. In case of the addition of potassium ion, the rate constants for these Fe2+/Fe3+ system on thin films of PB and bare electrode were given a little high values. The electron transfer rate for 10-3 M Fe(CN)63-/4- were 4.55 × 10-3 and 6.84 × 10-3 cm/s, respectively. The conductivity as directly determined during obtained the voltammogram, was 2.2 × 10-7 (Ω·cm)-1. This value is similar magnitude to that calculated from bulk sample.

We have investigated the impact of optical filter bandwidth on the performance of all-optical automatic gain-controlled (AGC) erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). In principle, an optical bandpass filter (OBPF) should be placed within the feedback gain-clamping loop to set the lasing wavelength as well as the passband of the feedback amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in all-optical AGC EDFA. From our measurement results, we found that the power level of feedback ASE with 0.1 nm passband of the optical filter was smaller than the ones with >0.2 nm passband cases. Therefore, the peak-to-peak power variation of the surviving channel with 0.1 nm passband was much larger than the ones with >0.2 nm passband. In addition, no significant difference in the power level of the feedback ASE was observed when the passband of the optical filter was ranging from 0.2 nm to 4.5 nm in our measurements. From these results, we have concluded that the passband of the optical filter should be slightly larger than 0.2 nm by taking into account the effect of feedback ASE power and the efficient use of the EDFA gain spectrum for the lasing ASE peak.

In this paper, the $(Sr_{0.85}{\cdot}Ca_{0.15})TiO_3$ of paraelectric grain boundary layer (GBL) ceramics were fabricated. The characteristics of electrical conduction and the thermally stimulated current(TSC) were measured respectively. The region I below 200[V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction, the region II between 200[V/cm] and 1000[V/cm] can be explained by the Pool-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III above 2000[V/cm] is dominated by the tunneling effect. As a result, The origins of these peaks are that the ${\alpha}$ peak observed at $-20[^{\circ}C]$ looks like to be ascribed to the ionization excitation from donor level in the grain, and the ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ peak observed at $-20[^{\circ}C]$ appears to show up by detrap of the trapped carrier of border between the oxidation layer and the grain, and the ${\beta}$ peak observed at $80[^{\circ}C]$ seems to be resulted from hopping conduction of existing carrier in the trap site of the border between the oxidation and second phase.

This paper dealt with the influence of harmonic voltages on arrester diagnostics and its compensation method by using a designed Pspice arrester model. A pure sinusoidal voltage and its 3$^{rd}$ harmonic voltage were applied to the model, and the leakage current components were analyzed. The simulation results have shown that the peak value of resistive leakage current depends not only on the phase of the 3$^{rd}$ harmonic voltage but also on the magnitude of it. In this paper, an approximated 5$^{th}$ order polynomial formula by the Least-Square-Technique was derived, and correction factors which compensate the error caused by the 3$^{rd}$ harmonic voltage were calculated.
