Inflammatory Response‐Inspired Thermochromic Shield for Pneumatic Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A thermochromic shield for pneumatic structures is developed, using anhydrous sodium acetate powder and thermochromic pigment‐included solution. In this shield composed of three layers, the exothermic and thermochromic reactions, followed by the mixture of both components, occur promptly with an incident of penetrating damage as a sign of initial ...

Evaluation of DC-link voltage ripple in five-phase PWM voltage source inverters

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
This paper presents the analysis of the DC-link voltage switching ripple in five-phase PWM voltage source inverters with balanced load. The analysis is particularly important for the design and selection of a DC-link capacitor making it possible to meet ...

Influence of an Argon/Silane Atmosphere on the Temperature of a Thermal Plasma

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of a silane‐doped argon atmosphere on the chemical composition and temperature of a thermal nontransferring argon plasma is investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. As a result of the high amount of free electrons resulting from the stepwise ionization and dissociation of the silane molecule, even a silane addition of 0.01 vol ...

Comprehensive comparison and analysis of non-inverting buck boost and conventional buck boost converters

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
The non-inverting buck boost (NIBB) converter has attracted significant attention in recent years, as it shares ground between input and output, and the voltage stress of switches is lower.

High-CMRR stray-insensitive switched-capacitor differential input stage for A/D convertors

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 1986
A new stray-insensitive switched-capacitor differential input circuit for A/D convertors is presented. This circuit, which uses only switches and capacitors, completely rejects common-mode signals regardless of the values of the design capacitors and the stray capacitances.

Control of Dual-Opposed Stirling Convertors with Active Power Factor Correction Controllers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
When using recently-developed active power factor correction (APFC) controllers in power systems comprised of dual-opposed free-piston Stirling convertors, a variety of configurations of the convertors and controller(s) can be considered, with ...

Unique Performance Considerations for Printable Organic Semiconductor and Perovskite Radiation Detectors: Toward Consensus on Best Practice Evaluation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A lack of standard approaches for testing and reporting the performance of metal halide perovskites and organic semiconductor radiation detectors has resulted in inconsistent interpretation of performance parameters, impeding progress in the field. This Perspective recommends key metrics and experimental details, which are suggested for reporting in ...

PLL controller for achieving zero-voltage switching (ZVS) in inductorless half-bridge drive piezoelectric transformer resonant power supplies

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2019
Inductorless half-bridge, piezoelectric transformer (PT) resonant power supplies require careful control if zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the MOSFETs is to be achieved.

T-WAS and T-XAS algorithms for fiber-loop optical buffers

open access: yes, 2020
In optical packet/burst switched networks fiber loops provide a viable and compact means of contention resolution. For fixed size packets it is known that a basic void-avoiding schedule (VAS) can vastly outperform a more classical pre-reservation ...
