In this paper, an interleaved high-power zero-current-switching (ZCS) onboard charger (OBC) based on the three-phase single-switch buck rectifier is proposed for application to plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). The multi-resonant structure is used to achieve high efficiency and high power density, which are necessary to reduce the volume and weight of the OBC. This study focuses on the border co...

Multilevel inverters have drawn tremendous interest in high power and high voltage application. Multilevel inverters have unique structure which makes it possible to reach high voltages with less harmonic content. The harmonic content of the output voltage waveform decreases as the number of output voltage increases. The main advantages are lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), less stress on ...

Gliomas are primary brain tumors associated with a poor prognosis partly due to resistance to conventional therapies. To overcome this problem, we investigated the combined effects of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) and an antiangiogenic agent, thalidomide (THD), or a chemotherapeutic agent, temozolomide (TMZ), on a rat glioma model. GKS (20 Gy single dose) alone and/or drugs (for 3 days) were d...

The existing solutions for reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) using different control algorithms in shunt active power filters (SAPFs) are complex. This work proposes a split source inverter (SSI)-based SAPF improving the quality nonlinear load system. advantage of SSI topology is that it single stage boost with an inductor and capacitor where conventional two stages intermediate DC-DC co...

A novel current injection network for low-harmonic rectifiers that apply the third harmonic current injection is proposed in this letter. The current injection network requires one inductor, two capacitors, and one 1 : 1 transformer with voltampere rating of only 0.16% of the input power. The transformer is introduced to provide complete rejection of harmonic components of the injected currents...

BACKGROUND Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD), a new approach for patients who would otherwise require an operative hemorrhoidectomy, accomplishes hemorrhoidal symptom relief with far less postoperative pain than an operative hemorrhoidectomy. METHODS THD, an ambulatory procedure, employs a specially designed proctoscope coupled with a Doppler transducer to allow identification an...

During the operation of valve-controlled cylinder position systems, there are some problems, such as uncertainty and time-varying system parameters, imprecise modeling, external interference. These problems will affect loading accuracy safety reliability electro-hydraulic servo system. This paper used a research object, mathematical model was established. Then, sliding mode variable structure c...
