In this paper, a 0.18-V input three-stage charge pump circuit applying forward body bias is proposed for energy harvesting applications. In the developed charge pump, all the MOSFETs are forward body biased by using the inter-stage/output voltages. By applying the proposed charge pump as the startup in the boost converter, the kick-up input voltage of the boost converter is reduced to 0.18 V. T...

The realization of line and load regulation in switchedcapacitor (SC)-based converters is discussed. A duty-cycle control is based on partial charging of the capacitors in the circuit. The influence on the efficiency is pointed out. The use of inductors in SC-based converters is discussed.

AbstrAct Limited studies have investigated online consumer loyalty and retention from a relationship orientation in electronic commerce research. It is important to understand the differences in relationship orientations between people who have the propensity to stick to particular Web sites (" stayers ") and people who have the propensity to switch to alternative Web sites (" switchers "). Thi...

In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the mean stability of switched linear systems having a Markov regenerative process as its switching signal. This class of switched linear systems, which we call Markov regenerative switched linear systems, includes various switched linear systems including Markov jump linear systems and semi-Markov jump linear systems. We show that ...

This paper is concerned with the input-output-to-state stability for switched fuzzy neural networks. A new set of matrix norm based conditions is proposed such that switched fuzzy neural networks are input-output-to-state stable. A modified set of conditions for asymptotic stability of switched fuzzy neural networks is also presented in this paper. Keywords— input-output-to-state stability, swi...

This paper addressed the computation of the L2-induced gain for a class of switched systems. The main contribution of the paper is to completely characterize the induced gain of the switched system through a system of differential inequalities, one for each system being switched. The motivation for computing the induced gain of a switched system is the application of robust stability tools to t...

Based on measurements of a prototype, we identify hardware requirements for improving the performance of hybrid electrical-packet-switched/optical-circuit-switched data center networks. OCIS codes: (200.4650) Optical interconnects; (200.6715) Switching; (060.4253) Networks, circuit-switched
