Evaluation of the cryogenic refrigerator (2014-2017)
Estimation of an electric motor in Cryocooler as an electrical machinery is attemped. It isn't possible to estimate for the performance of the cryocooler directly in the present. Refrigerator is operated as Mini-P.S.A. The performance of the refrigerator is measured as a liquefication speed. The speed of the cold head was changed to compare the performance.
Application of Raspberry Pi (2013-2017)
A student warms the student ID which is an IC card over a terminal for a lecture room. This is an attendance management system. But, a seminar office also has the classroom where an attendance terminal isn't installed. So development in the end where you can read a student ID and forward data to foreign server has been begun. I connected RC-S380 to Raspberry PI and succeeded in the reading of the IC card using nfcpy.
Servey on HCB (2014-2015)
There is no technical development of the element by which it's for a breaker in a technology trend of our country from 2005 to 2013. Compatibility as a system and the standard are a focus. Information about a semiconductor circuit breaker (SCB) and a hybrid circuit breaker (HCB) wasn't obtained. It is supposed that the technical information about SCB and HCB is collected before 2005. A further retrospective investigation is required for to know a circuit system. It was obtained classification of a circuit system by a review thesis in 2013 about an overseas technology trend. The method to grasp a technology trend was indicated by a retrospective investigation and a patent.
