Abstract—In this paper, a high-conversion-ratio bidirectional dc–dc converter with coupled inductor is proposed. In the boost mode, two capacitors are parallel charged and series discharged by the coupled inductor. Thus, high step-up voltage gain can be achieved with an appropriate duty ratio. The voltage stress on the main switch is reduced by a passive clamp circuit. Therefore, the low resist...

Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) are very popular in switching and communication applications. A MIN connects N inputs to N outputs and is referred as an N × N MIN; having size N. Optical Multistage Interconnection Network (OMIN) represents an important class of Interconnection networks. Crosstalk is the basic problem of OMIN. Switch Conflict and Link Conflict are the two main reason ...

A novel high step-up DC-DC converter with coupled-inductor and switched-capacitor techniques is proposed in this paper. The capacitors are charged in parallel and are discharged in series by the coupled inductor, stacking on the output capacitor. Thus, the proposed converter can achieve high step-up voltage gain with appropriate duty ratio. Besides, the voltage spike on the main switch can be c...

Task-switching is one of the most popular paradigms to investigate cognitive control. The main finding interest switch cost: RTs in trials are longer than repetition trials. Despite massive amount research these topics, little known about underlying temporal dynamics cortical regions involved phenomena. Here we used high density EEG unveil spatiotemporal neural associated with both cost and its...

Advances in packet-switching technology have enabled the rapid growth of the Internet and will be crucial for its continued expansion in the future. For almost ten years, the Prizma switch architecture has been a main component of IBM network technology, and today it is a cornerstone of the IBM Microelectronics Division’s engagement with leading network product providers. In this paper we revie...

Abstract: Topology processing is indispensable basic function in order to generate a real-time BUS-BRANCH model in Energy Management Systems, because this model is necessary to the operation of application software such as state estimation and etc. At this time, if an error occurs in status information of switch, the result of state estimation is seriously influenced. This paper proposes a topo...

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a pathologic process that results from interruption of blood supply to the femur bone resulting in the death of bone cells and collapse of the femoral head. Nontraumatic ANFH continuesto be a significant challenge to orthopedic surgeons. While the exact mechanisms remain elusive, many new insights have emerged from research in the last decade tha...

Maintenance therapy for advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer has shown some clinical benefit for patients by improving progression-free survival and, to a lesser extent, overall survival. Two main strategies exist for maintenance therapy, ie, continuation and switch maintenance. Continuation maintenance involves the continued use of one of the induction drugs beyond 4-6 cycles of initial treatmen...

This paper concerns the design, implementation and subsequent experimental validation of a low-voltage analog CMOS switch based on a gate-bootstrapped method. The main part of the proposed circuit is a new low-voltage and low-stress CMOS clock voltage doubler. Through the use of a dummy switch, the charge injection induced by the bootstrapped switch is greatly reduced resulting in improved samp...

Rate-based congestion control is effective and still simple for traffic management in ATM networks. As one of practical realization schemes, Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm (EPRCA) is recently proposed in ATM Forum. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of EFCI switch, which is an essential one suggested in EPRCA. First, we provide an analytic model for EPRCA...
