Principal decomposition by-products generated at variousabnormalities in gas-insulated transformers

Gas analysis provides a promising means for a diagnosis of gas-insulated equipment. Although many studies have been concentrated on SF₆ gas decomposition, they were mostly related to the faults in GIS systems and not directly applicable to gas-insulated transformers, which have much more complicated material structure. An experimental survey on decomposition by-products at various abnormal conditions was carried out by use of simulation models to develop a diagnostic method for gas-insulated transformers based on gas and ion chromatograph analyses. Major components characteristic in each abnormality, such as SO₂ on metal overheat, SO₂F ₂ on partial discharges, etc. were identified by the experiments

Manufacture of three-layer wood–porcelain stone composite board reinforced with bamboo fiber

The objective of this study was to improve bending strength properties of three-layer wood–porcelain stone composite board. The focus of this study was on the effects of orientations and weight ratios of bamboo fiber in face layer on physical and mechanical properties of the board. Three types of board with different orientation of bamboo fibers in the face layer were manufactured: one in which the fibers were oriented at random orientation (R board), another in which the fibers were oriented at unidirectional orientation (U board), and a third in which the fibers were oriented at cross orientation (C board). The physical and mechanical properties of the boards were evaluated based on the Japanese Industrial Standard for Particleboards. The main results obtained were as follows: Bending strength properties of the board were strongly affected by both orientation and weight ratio of bamboo fibers. Perpendicular specimen of C board has larger bending strength properties than U board and the value become larger with increased weight ratio of bamboo fibers. Internal bond strength value decreased with increasing weight ratio of bamboo fibers. The effect of orientation and weight ratios of bamboo fiber on thickness swelling of the board was not significant.     

Immunoassay on a power-free microchip with laminar flow-assisted dendritic amplification

We demonstrate a rapid (<30 min) and ultrasensitive (sub-picomolar) immunoassay on a microchip which needs no external power sources for fluid transport. We previously reported a rapid immunoassay of human C-reactive protein (CRP) on the power-free microchip with moderate sensitivity, i.e., a limit of detection (LOD) in sub-nanomolar range, due to the lack of signal amplification. In the current work, we have improved the LOD by 3 orders of magnitude by employing dendritic amplification (DA) methods. Specifically, a sandwich immunocomplex with a biotinylated secondary antibody was constructed on the inner surface of the microchannel as described in the previous report. Onto the immunocomplex, solutions of FITC-labeled streptavidin (F-SA) and biotinylated anti-streptavidin (B-anti-SA) were supplied to grow a dendritic structure. First, we alternately supplied the two solutions for layer-by-layer growth up to three layers. As a result, we obtained an LOD of 0.21 pM with a CRP sample volume of 1.0 microL and assay time of approximately 30 min under an ordinary fluorescence microscope. Second, to reduce the number of incubation steps, we have devised a new DA method: laminar flow-assisted dendritic amplification (LFDA). In this method, F-SA and B-anti-SA were simultaneously and continuously supplied from two laminar streams formed by a Y-shaped microchannel. The immunoassay with the LFDA for 10 min (total assay time of approximately 23 min) with a CRP sample volume of 0.5 microL yielded an LOD of 0.15 pM, which is equivalent to 75 zmol. The combination of the power-free microchip and the LFDA will provide a new opportunity for ultrasensitive point-of-care testing.     

Power and temperature distribution during microwave thawing, simulated by using Maxwell's equations and Lambert's law

The microwave thawing of frozen food was simulated by using an equation to describe heat conduction. This was based on the fact that the thermal and dielectric properties of food vary with temperature. The microwave power absorbed was modelled by using Maxwell's equations and Lambert's law. The power and temperature distributions calculated using both models were compared. Although Lambert's law is theoretically less applicable for simulating the transmitted microwave power, it provided an effective numerical approach for calculating temperature distribution during microwave thawing, which proved compatible with experimental results.     

Preparation of CdS-doped Glasses from Gels Containing Diethyldithiocarbamatocadmium

CdS-doped SiO₂ glasses were prepared via silica gels containing diethyldithiocarbamatocadmium Cd(S₂CN(C₂H₅)₂)₂. Heat treatment of the gels gave transparent yellow SiO₂glasses doped with hexagonal CdS crystals. In optical absorption and fluorescence spectra, the optical absorption edge and the emission peak clearly exhibited a blue shift, which was attributed to the quantum size effect of the carrier confinement, as the CdS content was decreased. In the fluorescence spectra of the CdS-doped silica glasses, the emission peak was observed only near 500 nm and not observed at longer wavelengths which were known to be present if there were sulfur vacancies.     

Results of antireflux surgery in infants with vesicoureteral reflux

The mechanism underlying the reduced Cu status in rats fed on a high-sulphide diet was investigated. Male rats aged 6 weeks were fed ad libitum on purified diets containing either 0 or 500 mg S2-/kg and demineralized water for a period of 2 weeks. The high-sulphide diet had no effect on feed intake, body-weight gain or weight of liver and kidney but significantly reduced Cu concentrations in plasma and kidney. Biliary Cu excretion was decreased significantly in rats fed on the high-sulphide diet. Apparent Cu absorption (Cu intake-faecal Cu) and true Cu absorption (Cu intake-(faecal Cu-biliary Cu)) were significantly lowered after sulphide feeding for 2 weeks. Rats fed on the high-sulphide diet excreted less Cu in urine than did the controls. We conclude that high sulphide intake reduces Cu status in rats through inhibition of Cu absorption which is reflected by a decrease in biliary Cu excretion as a secondary feature.     

A 14-ns 14-Mb CMOS DRAM with 300-mW active power

A 4-Mb high-speed DRAM (HSDRAM) has been developed and fabricated by using 0.7-μm L_eff CMOS technology with PMOS arrays inside n-type wells and p-type substrate plate trench cells. The 13.18-mm×6.38-mm chip, organized as either 512 K word×8 b or 1 M word×4 b, achieves a nominal random-access time of 14 ns and a nominal column-access time of 7 ns, with a 3.6-V V_cc and provision of address multiplexing. The high level of performance is achieved by using a short-signal-path architecture with center bonding pads and a pulsed sensing scheme with a limited bit-line swing. A fast word-line boosting scheme and a two-stage word-line delay monitor provide fast word-line transition and detection. A new data output circuit, which interfaces a 3.6-V V_cc to a 5-V bus with an NMOS-only driver, also contributes to the fast access speed by means of a preconditioning scheme and boosting scheme. Limiting the bit-line voltage swing for bit-line sensing results in a low power dissipation of 300 mW for a 60-ns cycle time
