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 ...

β‐Catenin/c‐Myc Axis Modulates Autophagy Response to Different Ammonia Concentrations

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2025.
Ammonia, detoxified by the liver into urea and glutamine, impacts autophagy differently at varying levels. Low ammonia activates autophagy via c‐Myc and β‐catenin, while high levels suppress it. Using Huh7 cells and Spf‐ash mice, c‐Myc's role in cytoprotective autophagy is revealed, offering insights into hyperammonemia and potential therapeutic ...

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.

Al–Cu Composite Casting of Laser‐Deoxidized Copper: Bonding, Interfacial Chemistry, and Thermal Conductivity

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates laser‐based oxide removal of Cu inserts in oxygen‐free conditions and examines long‐term oxidation kinetics and surface chemistry under different atmospheres via X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Al–Cu compound casting with differently oxidized surfaces is performed, and intermetallic phase formation, morphology, and thermal ...

A method to measure EMI due to electric field coupling on PCB [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
A new method to measure electric field coupling between PCB copper traces is presented. This method enables measurement of noise from waveforms obtainable from breadboard prototypes, which is available in an early stage in the design process.
