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...

CONTEXT Hop tests are functional tests that reportedly require strength, power, and postural stability to perform. The extent to which a triple-hop distance (THD) test measures each of these characteristics is relatively unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the extent to which the THD predicts performance on clinical measures of power, strength, and balance in athletic individuals. DESIGN Within...

The thyroid hormone (TH) system is involved in several important physiological processes, including regulation of energy metabolism, growth and differentiation, development and maintenance of brain function, thermo-regulation, osmo-regulation, and axis of regulation of other endocrine systems, sexual behaviour and fertility and cardiovascular function. Therefore, concern about TH disruption (TH...

Multilevel inverter becomes popular because of its high power, high voltage application. However it has some disadvantages such as increased number of components, complex control method and voltage balancing problems. In this paper, we proposed a new topology having level modules and H-bridge inverter, and reverse voltage technique is adopted for load. APOD based PWM technique is used to genera...

-This paper deals with the active power filter design controlled by using hysteresis technique. The genetic algorithm is used to design the controllers to minimize the %THD of the source current. The results are compared with that designed from Ingram and Round approach. The simulation results confirm that the genetic algorithm can provide the minimum %THD of the source current compared with th...
