As logic systems get larger and more complex, their supply current requirements continue to rise. Systems requiring 100A are fairly common. A high current power supply to meet such requirements usually requires paralleling several power regulators to alleviate the thermal stress on the individual power components. A power supply designer is left with the choice of how to drive these paralleled ...

For high current applications, it is desirable for the cavity shape to have a low longitudinal loss factor and to have a high beam-breakup threshold current. This paper briefly describes three different cavities designed for this purpose: a six-cell elliptical cavity for particles traveling at the speed of light, a two-cell elliptical cavity for subluminal particle speeds, and a single cell cav...

This paper presents a nondestructive, high frequency electromagnetic evaluation method which can be applied for the examination of periodic conductive strips or conductive fibers using the evanescent modes generated in slits or in dielectric insulation between conductive fibers. For the detection of evanescent waves we propose the use of lenses with metamaterials, both conical Swiss roll type a...

This project was focused on a basic scientific problem, one that is at the heart of application and development of superconductivity for efficient energy usage. This is improvement in high current density which can only be achieved by learning to pin vortices to the physical structure of its underlying superconducting material. Quantized vortices are the tornado of electrical supercurrents, ubi...

A transistor laser (TL), having the structure of a transistor with multi-quantum wells near its base region, bridges the functionality gap between lasers and transistors. However, light emission is produced at the expense of current gain for all the TLs reported up to now, leading to a very low current gain. We propose a novel design of TLs, which have an n-doped InP layer inserted in the emitt...
