This paper investigates the effect of the conducted EMI Electromagnetic Interference and the switching loss which occurs from the switching devices in the switching period of the unipolar and limited unipolar switching circuits. The three main sources of conducted EMI and switching loss in the unipolar and limited unipolar switching circuit come from the switching devices, the number of switching times in the switching period and their switching waveform. In this paper, these three parameters are used to determine the conducted EMI which generated from the unipolar and limited unipolar switching circuits and to improve the limited unipolar switching circuit which uses the power MOSFET´s as the switching devices. The significant reduction of Ire conducted EMI ...

In this paper, a behavioral current-voltage model with intermediate states is proposed for analog applications of unipolar resistive memories, where intermediate resistance values between SET and RESET state are used to store analog data. In this model, SET and RESET behaviors are unified into one equation by the blending function and the percentage volume fraction of each region is modeled by the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) equation that can describe the time-dependent phase transformation of unipolar memory. The proposed model is verified by the measured results of $TiO_2$ unipolar memory and tested by the SPECTRE circuit simulation with CMOS read and write circuits for unipolar resistive memories. With the proposed model, we also show that the behavioral model that combines the blending equation and JMA kinetics can universally describe not only unipolar memories but also bipolar ones. This universal behavioral model can be useful in practical applications, where various kinds of both unipolar and bipolar memories are being intensively studied, regardless of polarity of resistive memories.

The purpose of this study was to develop a scale for the evaluation of the subjective fabric hand. In order to find out the appropriate method for the evaluation, bipolar adjectives were compared to unipolar adjectives. One hundred female university students we.e selected as judges. They assessed 9 fabrics using the 9 point scale system for both bipolar and unipolar adjectives. When using the bipola. scale, judges responded more consistently showing smaller deviation among their responses. The Judges seemed to understand the meanings of adjectives in the bipolar scale more clearly than in the unipolar scale. Unipolar scale has twice the number of questions than bipolar scale does. Therefore. judges often felt bored responding to the questions using unipolar adjectives. If the appropriate antonym can be found through verified method, bipolar scale seems to have more advantages than unipolar scale.

In the 2-phase excited BLDC motor drives using a unipolar PWM scheme, there exists, in some cases, a unwanted leakage current which flows through the anti -parallel diode in the non-excited phase leg of the inverter. In this paper the cases in which the leakage current exists and the influence of the leakage current are analyzed, and a novel unipolar PWM scheme which can eliminate the leakage current is proposed. The leakage current increases as the motor speed is increased or PWM duty is decreased, and as a result the output power of the motor is reduced considerably. The effectiveness of the proposed unipolar PWM scheme isverified through the comparative simulations and experiments.

This paper proposes a regeneration braking algorithm for Brushless DC (BLDC) motor system. The unipolar switching method has a limitation about the regeneration braking when the BLDC motor is operated in the low speed region. The proposed algorithm alternatively utilizes the unipolar and bipolar switching method to implement the regeneration braking for overall speed range. The bipolar switching method is used when the BLDC motor is operated in the low speed region. The switching transition point is determined by analyzing the unipolar and bipolar switching during the regeneration braking. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is verified by using the experimental results.

A unipolar-type E-chuck was fabricated for the application of holding silicon wafers in the oxide etcher. For the fabrication of the unipolar ESC, core technologies such as coating of polyimide films and anodizing treatment of aluminum surface were developed. The polyimide films were prepared on thin coated copper substrates to minimize the plasma damage during the etch processing. Thin film heater technology was also developed for new type of E-chuck.

This paper considers a hybrid PWM(pulse width modulation) method which can be used in the brushless DC motor controller. Due to many disadvantages of bipolar PWM method, unipolar PWM method is mostly used in industrial field. In constant speed control application, the unipolar PWM method shows the good performance of speed control. But in the wide range of speed control application, it shows poor performance especially when deceleration is needed. So we propose the hybrid PWM method that utilizes both of bipolar and unipolar PWM methods according to the sign of the speed controller output. Simulation and experimental result show that the proposed method improves speed control performance of the brushless DC motor which is applied to the industrial sewing machines.

본 논문은 단상 3레벨 조건에서 unipolar 및 bipolar PWM의 구현 및 동작에 대해 서술하였으며, 교류전기철도용 전력보상장치의 병렬 운전 상황에서 unipolar PWM과 bipolar PWM에 따른 인터리빙 효과에 대해 비교하였다. 또한, unipolar PWM 조건에서 전력보상장치의 3병렬과 4병렬 시스템의 인터리빙 결과에 대해 비교하였다. 이를 통해 단상 unipolar PWM을 사용한 병렬 시스템의 인터리빙이라는 특수한 조건에서는 PWM 캐리어의 180° phase shift가 포함되는 2병렬 및 4병렬의 경우 마치 bipolar PWM처럼 동작하여 스위칭 리플의 저감효과가 기대한 결과보다 낮음을 확인하였다. 따라서 스위칭 리플의 저감 측면만을 고려한다면 전력보상장치의 병렬 시스템은 180° 캐리어가 포함된 4병렬 시스템보다 120° 캐리어를 사용하는 3병렬 시스템이 유리한 것을 확인하였다.

From a theoretical analysis point of view, the 2-stage precipitator is decomposed into two units: charging cell and collecting cell. Collection efficiency predictions of the two-stage parallel-plate electrostatic precipitator have been performed theoretically incorporating with the charging and the collecting cells. Particle trajectorise passing the charging cell have been modeled as a simple one. Particle charge distribution at the outlet of the charging cell is calculated through integration of the present unipolar combined charging rate along the entire particle trajectory, and average charge of particles at the outlet of the charging cell is obtained from the particle charge distribution. As for the collecting cell, the diminution of particle concentration along the longitudinal direction of the collecting cell is investigated considering the conventional Deutsch's theory and the laminar theory. One should note that the collection efficiency formula derived is based on monodisperse aerosols. It has been confirmed through the analysis that predictions of particle charge by applying White's unipolar diffusion charging theory overpredict actual cases in the continuum regime, while predictions by Fuch's unipolar diffusion charging theory indicate the reasonable result in the same regime. Theoretical predictions of collection efficiency are also compared with the available experimental results. Comparisons show that the experimental results are consistently located in the collection efficiency region bounded by the two limits, the Deutsch and the laminar collection efficiencies. Finally design parameters of the 2-stage electrostatic precipitator have been investigated systematically through the one-variable-at-a-time method in terms of collection efficiency. Applied voltages on the corona wire of the charging cell and the plate of the collecting cell, and the average air velocity have been selected as the design parameters.

In this paper, a novel high gain bidirectional modular dc-dc converter (BMC) with unipolar and bipolar structures for dc network interconnections is proposed. When compared with traditional dc grid-connecting converters, the proposed converter can achieve a high voltage gain with a simple modular transformerless structure. A sub-modular structure for the BMC is proposed to eliminate the unbalanced current stress between the different power units (levels) in the BMC. This can realize current sharing and standardized production and assembling. In addition, phase-interval operation is introduced to the sub-modules to realize low voltage and current ripple in both sides of the converter. Furthermore, two types of bipolar topologies of the sub-modular BMC were proposed to extend its application in bipolar dc network connections. In addition, the control system was optimized for grid-connection applications by providing various control strategies. Finally, simulations of a 3-level unipolar sub-modular BMC and a 4-level bipolar sub-modular BMC were conducted, and a 1-kW experimental 3-level unipolar prototype was developed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.
