A high-power magnetically switched superconducting rectifier operating at 5 Hz [PDF]
Above a certain current level, the use of a superconducting rectifier as a cryogenic current source offers advantages compared to the use of a power supply at room temperature which requires large current feed-throughs into the cryostat.

New column configurations for pressure swing batch distillation I. Feasibility Studies [PDF]
The feasibility of the pressure swing distillation in different batch column configurations is investigated. The method is based on the assumption of maximal separation. Besides studying the well known batch configurations (rectifier, stripper, middle

Solidifying Power Electronics [Historical] [PDF]
More than one century ago, in 1902, American engineer Peter Cooper Hewitt (1861\u20131921) derived the mercury arc-rectifier, enclosed in a glass bulb, from his mercury-vapor lamp of the previous year.

Elastomeric microfluidic diode and rectifier work with Newtonian fluids [PDF]
We report on two microfluidic elastomeric autoregulatory devices—a diode and a rectifier. They exhibit physically interesting and complex nonlinear behaviors (saturation, bias-dependent resistance, and rectification) with a Newtonian fluid.
