Two new schemes of three-phase rectifier using softing switching methods are introduced for the input power factor correction. These three-phase rectifiers are employed the zero voltage switching for the parallel resonant and zero current switching for the series resonant AC link type rectifiers. The dynamic modeling and discontinuous integral cycle mode control technique are also presented. With the proposed circuits and control technique, the high power factor can be obtained.

기존의 NEDSCR 소자는 매우 낮은 스냅백 홀딩전압과 낮은 온-저항을 가져 정상적인 동작 동안 래치업을 초래하므로 ESD 보호소자로 사용하는데 어려움이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 NEDSCR 소자의 시뮬레이션 및 TLP 테스트를 통해 이러한 단점들을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 매우 우수한 ESD 보호 성능과 높은 래치업 면역 특성을 구현하기 위해 N+ 소오스 확산영역을 둘러싸는 P형의 CPS 이온주입공정을 추가함으로써 NEDSCR 소자의 스냅백 홀딩전압과 온 저항을 증가시켜 정전기 보호 성능을 개선시킬 수 있는 것으로 입증되었다.

In this paper, a full-wave rectifier (FWR) with a simple vibration detector suitable for use with vibrational energy harvesting systems is presented. Conventional active FWRs where active diodes are used to reduce the diode voltage drop and increase the system efficiency are usually powered from the output. Output-powered FWRs exhibit relatively high efficiencies because the comparators used in active diodes are powered from the stable output voltage. Nevertheless, a major drawback is that these FWRs consume power from the output storage capacitor even when the system is not harvesting any energy. To overcome the problem, a technique using a simple vibration detector consisting of a peak detector and a level converter is proposed. The vibration detector detects whether vibrational energy exists or not in the input terminal and disables the comparators when there is no vibrational energy. The proposed FWR with the vibration detector is designed using a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. By using the proposed vibration detector, a decrease in leakage current by approximately 67,000 times can be achieved after the vibration disappears.

We describe the pulse forming of pulsed $CO_2$laser using multi-pulse superposition technique. A various pulse length, high duty cycle pulse forming network(PFN) is constructed by time sequence. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on SCRs of three PFN modules consecutively at a desirable delay time with the aid of PIC one-chip microprocessor. The power supply for this experiment consists of three PFN modules. Each PFN module uses a capacitor, a pulse forming inductor, a SCR, a High voltage pulse transformer, and a bridge rectifier on each transformer secondary. The PFN modules operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV pulse transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence. We investigated laser pulse shape and duration as various trigger time intervals of SCRs among three PFN modules. As a result, we can obtain laser beam with various pulse shapes and durations from about 250 $mutextrm{s}$ to 600 $mutextrm{s}$.

The purpose of our investigation was to examine the effects of prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}\;(PGF_{2{\alpha}})$ on membrane potentials, $Ca^{2+}-activated\;K^+\;(K_{Ca})$ channels, and delayed rectifier $K^+(K_V)$ channels using the patch-clamp technique in single rabbit middle cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells. $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ significantly hyperpolarized membrane potentials and increased outward whole-cell K currents. $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ increased open-state probability of $K_{Ca}$ channels without the change of the open and closed kinetics. $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ increased the amplitudes of $K_V$ currents with a leftward shift of activation and inactivation curves and a decrease of activation time constant. Our results suggest that the activation of $K_{Ca}$ and $K_V$ channels, at least in part, may lead to attenuate or counteract vasoconstriction by $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ in middle cerebral artery.

본 연구는 산업계에서 많이 사용되고 잇는 3상 브리지 다이오드 정류기에서 입력측에 발생하는 고조파 문제를 개선하고자 한다. 다이오드 방식은 제어기가 필요치 않기 때문에 간단하고 높은 신뢰성을 갖지만 입력단 전류의 불연속성으로 인하여 전류파형의 왜곡이 생긴다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 3상 브리지 다이오드 정류기에 부가적으로 부착 가능한 3개의 스위치를 제안하여 매순간 3상의 전류 중에서 다이오드 정류기로 흐르지 못한 한 상의 전류를 제안한 스위치를 통하여 흐르게 하여 전류가 연속적으로 흐르게 하였다. 연속적인 전류의 흐름은 고조파 성분을 감소시키며 역률 또한 개선시키는 것을 모의 실험과 실험을 통하여 입증하였다.

A high performance interleaved bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) rectifier operating under the critical current conduction mode (CrM) is proposed in this paper to improve the efficiency and system performance of various applications, such as nano-grid systems. By combining the interleaved technique with the bridgeless topology, the circuit contains two independent branches without rectifier diodes. The branches operate in interleaved mode for each respective half-line period. Moreover, when operating in CrM, all the power switches take on soft-switching, thereby reducing switching losses and raising system efficiency. In addition, the input current flows through a minimum amount of power devices. By employing a commercial PFC controller, an effective control scheme is used for the proposed circuit. The operating principle of the proposed circuit is presented, and the design considerations are also demonstrated. Simulations and experiments have been carried out to evaluate theoretical analysis and feasibility of the proposed circuit.

In the present study, we have investigated the effect of metabolic inhibition on the inward rectifier K current ($I_{K1}$). Using whole cell patch clamp technique we applied voltage ramp from +80 mV to -140 mV at a holding potential of -30 mV and recorded the whole cell current in single ventricular myocytes isolated from the rabbit heart. The current-voltage relationship showed N-shape (a large inward current and little outward current with a negative slope) which is a characteristic of $I_{K1}$. Application of 0.2 mM dinitrophenol (DNP, an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation as a tool for chemical hypoxia) to the bathing solution with the pipette solution containing 5 mM ATP, produced a gradual increase of outward current followed by a gradual decrease of inward current with little change in the reversal potential (-80 mV). The increase of outward current was reversed by glibenclamide ($10\;{\mu}M$), suggesting that it is caused by the activation of $K_{ATP}$. When DNP and glibenclamide were applied at the same time or glibenclamide was pretreated, DNP produced same degree of reduction in the magnitude of the inward current. These results show that metabolic inhibition induces not only the increase of $K_{ATP}$ channel but also the decrease of $I_{K1}$. Perfusing the cell with ATP-free pipette solution induced the changes very similar to those observed using DNP. Long exposure of DNP (30 min) or ATP-free pipette solution produced a marked decrease of both inward and outward current with a significant change in the reversal potential. Above results suggest that the decrease of $I_{K1}$ may contribute to the depolarisation of membrane potential during metabolic inhibition.

Switching Mode Power Supply(SMPS) is widely used in many industrial fields. Power factor improvement and harmonic reduction technique are very important in SMPS. In this paper, we propose the circuit applied Flying Capacitor Snubber for improving power factor of boost converter on fast switching state. Snubber circuit consists of a inductor, two diodes and a capacitor. The losses of switching are reduced by inserting a snubber inductor in the series path of the boost switch and the rectifier diode to control the di/dt rate of the rectifier during it's turn-off. Prior to actual experiment, the circuit analysis Is implemented by PSPICE simulation.
