This paper presents an algorithm based on multi-objective approach for network reconfiguration. Multiple objectives are considered for reduction in the system power loss, deviations of the nodes voltage and transformers loading imbalance, while subject to a radial network structure in which all the loads must be energized and no branch current constraint is violated. These three objectives are ...

In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...

Marx generators have been traditionally relegated as pulse-charging supplies for a variety of applications including the generation of High Power Microwaves, or RF energy. Compact models have served as suitable trigger generators for larger systems. However, recent work has demonstrated the compact Marx generators for directly generating RF energy. This paper discusses two compact Marx generato...

Pulsed-delayed extraction using a simple high voltage transistor switch together with various sample purification approaches were used to enhance the resolution in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) of oligonucleotides up to 60 bases long. This switch can provide a 0-3 kV voltage pulse with a 75 ns fall time. A resolution of 500-900 was ty...

This paper proposes a low-power and area-efficient shift register using pulsed latches. The area and power consumption are reduced by replacing flip-flops with pulsed latches. This method solves the timing problem between pulsed latches through the use of multiple non-overlap delayed pulsed clock signals instead of the conventional single pulsed clock signal. The shift register uses a small num...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are used in a wide range of applications due to their high efficiency and high power density. In this paper, sensorless four-switch direct power control (DPC) method with the sector to sector commutations ripple minimization for BLDC motor control is proposed. The main features of the proposed DPC method are: (1) fast dynamic response (2) easy implementation (3) use o...

All autonomous electrically powered devices require a continuous power supply from batteries. Increasing the discharge performance is top priority in Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery field and pulsed proving numerous advantages. In this paper, maximum efficiency of method on constant load while cells are alternately switched with dead-time thoroughly studied. Therefore, novel Li-Ion charge/discharg...
