Abstract:
The present invention relates to a linear motor which draws its operating power from ultrasonic vibration above the frequency of 20 kHz which is generated by piezoelectric ceramic. More particularly, the invention relates to a linear piezoelectric ultrasonic motor which linearly operates a slider due to a frictional force generated by applying sinusoidal electric field with a 90 degree phase difference to a pair of piezoelectric ceramic. This causes an elliptical mechanical vibration on a shaking beam which is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a Raman or erbium-doped fiber laser using a few-mode fiber grating, and a long-distance remote sensor using the same that can simultaneously measure temperature and strain by separating temperature and strain components using Raman amplification or erbium amplification. When a multi-wavelength Raman or erbium-doped laser is configured by means of a short-period fiber grating serving as a few-mode fiber grating at one side of a resonator and a chirped fiber Bragg grating or tunable chirped fiber Bragg grating at the other side of the resonator, multi-wavelength laser signals are generated in different modes. Because wavelength shift and reflectivity vary with a change in temperature and strain, temperature and strain components can be simultaneously measured. Because an optical fiber of several tens of kilometers is used, it can be utilized as a sensing probe of the long-distance remote sensor.

Abstract:
A method for operating a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell at temperatures below the freezing point of water and an apparatus thereof are provided to prevent damage and performance degradation of the membrane-electrode assemblies. Non-humidified gas flows for several seconds before temperature of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell falls below the freezing temperature of water when operation of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stops. Simultaneously, anode of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is filled with a solution having a low freezing point to prevent the temperature of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell falling below the freezing point of water due to the lower ambient temperature in the winter. When the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is restarted, the cell performance is not degraded reflecting that the present invention stably preserves the fuel cell.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a separator for a fuel cell made of a metal plate coated with TiN, a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell comprising the separator and a method for manufacturing the separator. According to the invention, the separator can be made to be thin and it is possible to increase the power density, compared to the prior separator made of graphite. At the same time, a proper level of physical strength can be maintained, so that there is no problem of a breakdown by an external shock. In addition, the flow field can be easily formed and the cost is low. Additionally, the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell comprising the separator using a metal plate coated with TiN according to the invention has no problem of corrosion of metal separator due to the electrolyte, compared to the prior metal separator, so that the durability is excellent and the lifetime is long. In addition, when a mass-production system is established, the flow fields are provided by stamping a thin metal plate instead of forming the flow fields on the stainless steel plate, and then the two plates are brazed and coated with TiN, so that the weight of the stack is decreased.

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method to synthesize powders typed diamond with the size between several tens nm to several μm in diameter using conventional CVD processes for deposition of diamond films. Gas phase nucleation has been induced on the boundary of plasmas, and as a result the spherical diamond powders accumulated have been obtained on circumferences of the normal substrate. With a modification of a substrate structure, a large area accumulation of the diamond powders of around 100 mm in diameter has been accomplished.
