In this paper the active device for a class E amplifier is modelled as switch in series with a turn on resistance ‘Ron’. Assuming an ideal harmonic load is used the switch equations for the voltage and current waveforms are reviewed and then used to examine how ‘Ron’ affects the efficiency of dc to ac power conversion. This ideal harmonic network is assumed to have optimum input impedance at th...

Walking humans prefer to use the stride rate that results in the lowest rate of metabolic energy expenditure. Mechanical power requirements have been suggested to underlie the metabolic response, but mechanical power is consistently reported to be minimal at stride rates 20-30% lower than preferred. This may be due to limitations in how total mechanical power has been computed, as well as a fai...

In molecular biology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has played an important role but suffers a general problem with low efficiency and specificity. Development of suitable additives to improve the PCR specificity and efficiency and the understanding of the PCR enhancing mechanism still remain a great challenge. Here we report the use of polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified multiwalled carbon nano...

Decolorization of aqueous solutions containing ionic dyes (Reactive Blue 19 and Acid Black 172) by a TFC commercial polyamide nanofilter (NF) in a spiral wound configuration was studied. The effect of operating parameters including feed concentration (60-180 mg/l), pressure (0.5-1.1 MPa) and pH (6-10) on dye removal efficiency was evaluated. The response surface method (RSM) was utilized for th...

A description is given of settling chambers with sprays, cyclone types and electrostatic precipitators as used in municipal incinerators. Special emphasis is placed on selection and duct design especially to inlets of collectors which affects efficiency. Importance is stressed on preventing leaks and overfilling of hoppers and proper maintenance of equipment in order to obtain optimum efficienc...

This paper investigates the application of 16-APSK modulation to aeronautical mobile telemetry. The peak-to-average power ratio vs. code rate tradeoff is mapped to an optimization problem involving spectral efficiency and the constellation parameters. The optimization results produce a theoretically optimum solution that is 3.95 times more spectrally efficient as uncoded SOQPSKTG. When implemen...

This paper analyzes the spectral efficiency (total channel capacity per subband) of randomly-spread synchronous multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MCCDMA) channel subject to frequency-selective fading in the asymptotic regime of number of users and bandwidth going to infinity with a constant ratio. We analyze the spectral efficiency for uplink and downlink conditioned on subcarrier fre...

In this paper, the simulation of rolling piston compressor is established using Star-CD, a general computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Based on the result, the P-V diagram of compressor’s working process and all kinds of factors influencing the compressor’s overall efficiency are analyzed deeply, then several optimum projects are put forward in order to improve the compressor’s overall...

Combining the orthogonal multiplexing signaling and the on-off-keyed signaling, the orthogonallymultiplexed on-off-keyed amplitude modulation (OMOAM) family and the orthogonally-multiplexed on-off-keyed phase modulation (OMOPM) family are proposed and investigated in this paper. Based on the maximum-likelihood principle, the optimum schemes for coherently demodulating OMOAM and OMOPM signals on...
