A novel bidirectional DC-DC converter is presented in this paper. The circuit configuration of the proposed converter is very simple. The proposed converter employs a coupled inductor with same winding turns in the primary and secondary sides. In step-up mode, the primary and secondary windings of the coupled inductor are operated in parallel-charge and series-discharge to achieve high step-up ...

All-optical plasmonic switches based on a novel coupled nano-disk cavity configuration containing nonlinear material are proposed and numerically investigated. The finite difference time domain simulation results reveal that the single-disk plasmonic structure can operate as an “on– off” switch with the presence/absence of pumping light. We also demonstrate that the proposed T-shaped plasmonic ...

The Drosophila sex pheromone cVA elicits different behaviors in males and females. First- and second-order olfactory neurons show identical pheromone responses, suggesting that sex genes differentially wire circuits deeper in the brain. Using in vivo whole-cell electrophysiology, we now show that two clusters of third-order olfactory neurons have dimorphic pheromone responses. One cluster respo...

a new output structure for class e power amplifier (pa) is proposed in this paper. a series lc resonator circuit, tuned near the second harmonic of the operating frequency is added to the output circuit. this resonator causes low impedance at the second harmonic. the output circuit is designed to shape the switch voltage of the class e amplifier and lower the voltage stress of the transistor. t...

This article discloses part of an invention on plug-and-play converter-level on-state voltage measurement methods for power semiconductor devices. To exclude the external supply required in circuits, a self-power solution is proposed to provide bidirectional low-voltage sources. The application circuit with demonstrated single-switch, single-phase inverter, and three-phase inverter.

This paper presents two new results for multiplevalued switch-level algebra (MSA for short). The first is the use of MSA to descaibe the bidirectional switching function of MOS transistors and, thereby, to analyze binary MOS bridge Circuits. The second is the use of MSA to describe the function of capacitors and, thereby, to analyze binary MOS dynamic circuits. The results presented in this pap...
