This paper proposes a design of single input multiple output (SIMO) dc–dc converter. The proposed converter can generate the voltage of a low voltage input to controllable levels of boosted output voltage and it can also produce the inverted output voltage. This dc-dc converter utilizes the properties of voltage clamping and soft switching based on a coupled inductor. In this paper, the design ...

We consider the problem of characterizing possible supply functions for a given dissipative nonlinear system, and provide a result that allows some freedom in the modification of such functions. Keywords— nonlinear stability, ISS, dissipation, input/output stability

This investigation examined the mixed effects of visual input enhancement, explicit instruction, pushed output, and corrective feedback on noticing and intake of English conjunctive adverbs. Participants included 83 intermediate EFL students enrolled in a grammar and writing course. They were assigned to a control group (n = 22), explicit instruction + pushed output + explicit corrective feedba...

We developed original solenoid actuator units with several built-in sensors, and produced a box-shaped musical interface “PocoPoco” using 16 units of them as a universal input/output device. We applied up-and-down movement of the solenoid-units and user’s intuitive input to musical interface. Using transformation of the physical interface, we can apply movement of the units to new interaction d...
