If the surges induced by lightning invade into low voltage distribution lines, there might be a possibility of giving some severe damages to the systems. Therefore, it is necessary to examine these induced phenomena. FDTD （finite difference time domain） method which treats objects as three-dimensional solid circuits is applied to analyze these induced phenomena. VSTL （Virtual Surge Test Lab.） is the surge analysis simulation program using FDTD method. In this paper, the lightning induced phenomena on the low voltage distribution line in the house are analyzed by using VSTL. In this paper, investigation results about induced surge when a lightning struck the point nearby the house, and about a suppressing effect of surges by comparing the results of analysis with and without SPD （surge protective device） are shown. As a result, it is confirmed that SPD is effective for suppressing lightning surge.展开更多

And it is possible to operate the LIM propulsion system efficiently without a change of the LIM capacity through the airgap length control on the sloped rail. So, in this research, the authors introduce an airgap control system to control the airgap length which depends on the flatness of the secondary reaction plate when the LIM is operated, and design a rotary small-scaled LIM and its airgap control system before manufacturing the real system. Then, the authors analyze some characteristics of the LIM （thrust and normal force, input current, efficiency and power factor）, and through the LIM control modeling, the authors finally analyze an effect of the airgap-length control of the LIM by the airgap control system.展开更多

Traditional methods for avoiding mode mixing in identical coupled nonlinear electrical lines consist of adding the same number of linear inductors in each branch. Adding linear inductors in a single line leads to asymmetric coupled nonlinear electrical transmission lines which propagate the signal and the mode mixing. On one hand, the difference between the two lines induced the fission for only one mode of propagation. This fission is influenced by the amplitude of the signal and the amount of the input energy as well; it also narrows the width of the input pulse soliton, leading to a possible increasing of the bit rate. On the other hand, the dissymmetry of the two lines converts the network into a good amplifier for the ω_ mode which corresponds to the regime admitting low frequencies.展开更多

The proposed system consists of a reader antenna inductively coupled to the sensor circuit, a readout circuit, and a personal computer （PC） post processing unit. The readout circuit generates a voltage signal representing the sensor＇s capacitance. The frequency of the reader antenna driving signal is a constant, which is equal to the sensor＇s resonant frequency at zero pressure. Based on mechanical and electrical modeling, the pressure sensor design based on the high temperature co-fired ceramic （HTCC） technology is conducted and discussed. The functionality and accuracy of the readout system are tested with a voltage-capacitance measurement system and demonstrated in a realistic pressure measurement environment, so that the overall performance and the feasibility of the readout system are proved.展开更多
