Power converters play a crucial role in renewable energy systems. Most well-known power conversion topologies are voltage mode, not current mode. Current mode more appropriate for systems such as photovoltaic since solar panels typical sources. The vast usage of battery storage is also sink constant charging. Utilizing should be straightforward and judicious. In this study, new topology the tap...

In this paper a traditional Multi Layer Perceptron with a tapped delay line as input is trained to identify the parameters of the Chua’s circuit when fed with a sequence of values of a scalar state variable. The analysis of the a priori identifiability of the system, performed resorting to differential algebra, allows one to choose a suitable observable and the minimum number of taps. The resul...

We report the experimental observation of vortex patterns in a vertically tapped granular media. Depending on the tapping acceleration, two behaviors are observed. For high acceleration a convection vortex appears in the whole media, whereas for low acceleration two unstable vortices appear in the upper part of the media and slowly compact the lower part. We explain the formation of the vortice...

D eji Akinwande, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas, Austin, develops electronic devices that rely on atom-thin sheets known as two-dimensional (2-D) materials. While the carbon material graphene has received the lion’s share of attention in this field, analogous materials such as silicene, phosphorene, and molybdenum disulfide are increasingly being tap...
