High Gain Dynode for Image Orthicon

Image-guided radio-frequency gain calibration for high-field MRI.

High-field (≥ 3T) MRI provides a means to increase the signal-to-noise ratio, due to its higher tissue magnetization compared with 1.5T. However, both the static magnetic field (B(0)) and the transmit radio-frequency (RF) field (B 1+) inhomogeneities are comparatively higher at higher field strengths than those at 1.5T. These challenging factors at high-field strengths make it more difficult to...

The Limitations for Night-time Detection of Celestial Bodies Employing the Intensifier- Storage-Image Orthicon

High voltage gain DC-DC resonant converter

In this paper, a DC-DC resonant converter with high voltage gain and small size is studied. To reduce the size and weight of this converter, the operating frequency should be as high as possible. In this research, the frequency changes from 120 to 200 kHz. Due to the high operating frequency, it is necessary to reduce the switching losses using soft switching methods. Resonant converters are su...

A New Near Optimal High Gain Controller For The Non-Minimum Phase Affine Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. This controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the cheap control problem. This methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...
