A new technique to reduce EMI in modular power multiconverters is described. The technique is based on a combination of switching frequency modulation and a variable delay between commutation signals of the single converters. The proposed technique has been validated experimentally in a four converters parallel topology. A significant EMI reduction has been obtained with regard to conventional ...

Y-capacitors are used to reduce electro magnetic interference (EMI) in SMPS. This is a capacitor connected between primary and secondary of the SMPS transformer to bypass EMI currents and thus preventing them to reach mains port. Proper connection points for this capacitor are discussed and experimental results are analyzed to verify their effectiveness.

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was conducted on grain appearance in Emi-no-kizuna, a rice cultivar that has superior and stable appearance of the brown rice grain and high tolerance to high temperature stress, by using F3 lines derived from Emi-no-kizuna and Tomohonami. The investigation was performed 2013 and 2015. In summer 2013 the air temperature was higher and the larger differe...

Ionic liquids (ILs) show promise as safe electrolytes for electrochemical devices. However, the conductivity of ILs decreases markedly at low temperatures because of strong interactions arising between the component ions. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are appropriate microporous host materials that can control the dynamics of ILs via the nanosizing of ILs and tunable interactions of MOFs with...

Expert system algorithms that analyze printed circuit board designs, anticipate EMC problems, and help designers to correct these problems are being developed by the EMI Expert System Consortium at the University of Missouri-Rolla. This paper reviews the basic structure of the EMI expert system and describes newly developed algorithms.

The EMI filters are usually used for suppression of electromagnetic conducted interference of range 9 kHz-30 MHz. The efficiency of electromagnetic interference filter is described by attenuation characteristics. The value of attenuation of EMI filter depends on main parameters of filter’s elements and its parasitic parameters. Therefore the high frequency model of electromagnetic interference ...

BACKGROUND Long-term weight loss maintenance is difficult to achieve. Effectiveness of obesity interventions could be increased by providing extended treatment, and by focusing on person-environment interactions. Ecological Momentary Intervention (EMI) can account for these two factors by allowing an indefinite extension of a treatment protocol in everyday life. EMI relies on observations in da...

We present a wearable system that uses ambient electromagnetic interference (EMI) as a signature to identify electronic devices and support proxemic interaction. We designed a low cost tool, called EMI Spy, and a software environment for rapid deployment and evaluation of ambient EMI-based interactive infrastructure. EMI Spy captures electromagnetic interference and delivers the signal to a use...
