  • Publication number: 20240150671
    Abstract: Provided is a lubricating oil composition including a lubricating oil additive and a lubricating oil, the lubricating oil additive having nanodiamonds, of which a surface is hydrophobically modified by a surface treatment, dispersed in a base oil. The lubricating oil composition retains dispersibility over a long period of time and thus can ensure storage stability. Machines to which the lubricating oil composition is applied may have improved abrasion resistance as well as improved fuel consumption and reduced noise, and high thermal conductivity of the lubricating oil composition may also increase cooling efficiency and the service life of machines.

  • Patent number: 9876440
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an active rectifier. The rectifier includes a rectifier unit, a driver unit, and a switching device control circuit unit. The rectifier unit includes first and fourth transistors configured to become conductive when the voltage of an alternating current (AC) input is negative and apply the current of the AC input to a rectifier capacitor, and second and third transistors configured to become conductive when the voltage of the AC input is positive and apply the current of the AC input to the rectifier capacitor. The driver unit outputs first to fourth drive control signals, and drives the first to fourth transistors. The switching device control circuit unit compares the first drive control signal and the second drive control signal with the AC input, and outputs switching device control signals to delay the first to fourth drive control signals based on the extents to delay.

  • Patent number: 8248319
    Abstract: A broadband circularly-polarized spidron fractal antenna is disclosed. The broadband antenna of the present invention can realize a bandwidth exceeding 70% without using a multilayer substrate to implement the broadband properties, by forming a geometric structure of a slot, i.e., a spidron fractal, which has not been used in the conventional antennas, on the ground surface of the antenna. The present invention can also induce the radiation properties of a circularly-polarized wave from the properties of the spidron fractal shape, without employing an additional secondary circuit such as a phase distribution circuit for implementing the circularly-polarized wave. Due to such properties described above, the present invention can implement a small broadband circularly-polarized antenna that costs less to manufacture.
