Switching of bacterial flagellar rotation is caused by large domain movements of the FliG protein triggered by binding of the signal protein CheY to FliM. FliG and FliM form adjacent multi-subunit arrays within the basal body C-ring. The movements alter the interaction of the FliG C-terminal (FliGC) "torque" helix with the stator complexes. Atomic models based on the Salmonella entrovar C-ring ...

This paper refers to the design of a motor control system required for a brushless DC motor control application. The paper work includes the design and development of the necessary hardware supported by appropriate embedded software. The BLDC motor has certain advantages over other motors such as maximum torque to weight ratio, high speed etc, but it requires an electronic commutator such as a ...

By combining the concepts of multiple-sliding-surface and integral-variable-structure controls, one can develop a robust controller for a multiphase 9V VRM, which comprises four parallel DC–DC synchronous buck convertors operating at 300kHz. The advantages of the control scheme are its simplicity in design, good dynamic response, robustness, ability to nullify the bus-voltage error and the erro...

Obiectivul acestei lucrări constă în dezvoltarea şi implementarea unui regulator digital PID pentru convertoarele statice. Sunt studiate prin simulare şi experimentări efectele factorilor KP, KI şi KD asupra răspunsului buclei de reglare. În partea a doua a lucrării, este prezentată o analiză comparativă experimentală a două convertoare (un redresor comandat realizat din tiristoare cu filtru ca...

A new model of Interphase Power Controller (IPC) for controlling active power is introduced in this paper. In this model, which is called VSC-based IPC, the voltage source converter (VSC) does the function of the phase shifting transformer (PST) in IPC. This new structure not only has the features of IPC, but also controls the output power effectively when the input power is changed by alternat...

This paper discusses design, simulation and fabrication of new Micromechanical Thermal Converters (MTCs) based on GaAs developed for Gas sensors. GaAs MTCs seem to be very attractive for design of thermally based MEMS sensor devices. High thermal isolation of these devices can be done by implementing of free micromechanical hot plates which is designed as thin as possible. Metal oxide gas senso...

Large offshore wind farms are recently emerging as promising alternative power Sources. Long distances between offshore generation and onshore distribution grid demand new solutions for their connect alternative to conventional AC transmission above a certain cable length. This paper presents a new VSC transmission topology for HVDC grid connection of offshore wind farms.

A voltage current convertor is described having a quasi complementary class AB architecture that is particularly suited to implementation using discrete power MOSFETs. High-voltage mirror designs are presented, enabling the construction of sources with kilovolt compliance range, tens of watts of output power and greater than 100 kHz bandwidth. GΩ output impedance and distortion below 1% can be ...
