Recently, several numbers of multilevel inverter topologies have been presented that the numbers of power electronic devices have been reduced. This paper presents a novel single-phase topology for multilevel inverter. The proposed topology is based on cascaded connection of basic units. This topology uses minimum lumber of power electronic components such as IGBT, gate driver circuit and antip...

We demonstrate that giant current and high spin rectification ratios can be achieved in atomic carbon chain devices connected between two symmetric ferromagnetic zigzag-graphene-nanoribbon electrodes. The spin dependent transport simulation is carried out by density functional theory combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function method. It is found that the transverse symmetries of the ele...

Design, simulation and measurement results of the integrated compact up-converter MMICs (microwave monolithic integrated circuits) are presented and discussed. The design is performed to achieve low cost and high performance transmitter system for the Ka-band frequency applications. It is designed using antiparallel diode pair sub-harmonic single sideband mixer and three stage RF (radio frequen...

Wireless fully passive neural recording systems are demonstrated with heterogeneous integration of sensing, mixing, and communication components in flexible polymer dielectric films. The neurosensor has an antenna, antiparallel diode, a bypass capacitor to modulate incoming carrier signal the neuropotentials backscatter mixed external reader circuit. Planar antennas realized on liquid crystal (...

An antiparallel actin dimer has been proposed to be an intermediate species during actin filament nucleation. We now show that latrunculin A, a marine natural product that inhibits actin polymerization, arrests polylysine-induced nucleation at the level of an antiparallel dimer, resulting in its accumulation. These dimers, when composed of pyrene-labeled actin subunits, give rise to a fluoresce...

Background and Aim: Diode laser is a great choice for soft tissue surgery. The diode laser is partially absorbed by hard dental tissues, making it safe for soft tissue surgery. This study aimed to compare the tissue thermal changes induced by three types of diode lasers at 810, 940, and 980nm wavelengths. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, using a diode laser device (c...

The ability to design reaction networks with high, but addressable complexity is a necessary prerequisite to make advanced functional chemical systems. Dynamic combinatorial chemistry has proven to be a useful tool in achieving complexity, however with some limitations in controlling it. Herein we introduce the concept of antiparallel chemistries, in which the same functional group can be chann...
