A new flip-flop design using a double-pulsed static latch is presented. The flip-flop has only a single stage of logic in the critical path and as a result is up to three times faster than the fastest previously known flip-flops, while consuming approximately the same energy as the lowestpower flip-flops. The flip-flop has asymmetric timing properties which make it a good match to skewed logic ...

The self-excitation process in pulsed air-core rotating generators is fundamental in assuring record values of power density and compactness. This paper will analyze the conditions for the self-excitation process in pulsed electrical machines used as power supplies for electromagnetic launchers, using the analogy and methods of the positive feedback in control systems. In the classical “ferroma...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of 2 bipolar systems during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH): the pulsed bipolar system (PlasmaKinetic; Olympus, Japan) vs. conventional bipolar electrosurgery (Kleppinger bipolar forceps; Richard Wolf Instruments, Vernon Hills, IL). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 80 women who underwent TLH for benign gynecologic disease between 2...

A pulsed power generator, Pawn, has been assembled at the Naval Research Laboratory. It employees inductive energy storage and opening switch power conditioning techniques with high energy density capacitors as the primary energy store. The energy stored in the capacitor bank is transferred to a vacuum inductor in "'15 ps. Wire fuses provide the first stage of pulse compression. Futiher power c...

BACKGROUND Chronic knee pain is a major widespread problem causing significant impairment of daily function. Pulsed radiofrequency has been shown to reduce severe chronic joint pain as a non-pharmacological and less invasive treatment method. OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare the effectiveness of unipolar and bipolar intraarticular pulsed radiofrequency methods in chronic knee pain control. STU...

We describe, for the first time, the perforation of the cell membrane in the targeted single cell based on the nanosecond pulsed near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation of a thin film of carbon nanotubes that act as an effective photon absorber as well as stimuli generator. When the power of NIR laser is over 17.5 μJ/pulse, the cell membrane after irradiation is irreversibly disrupted and results...

The major aim for achieving the successful synchronization of a wind turbine system to grid is mitigate electrical and mechanical stresses on generator. During transient state, gearbox, shaft, rotor generator could be damaged due stress. stator windings generator, including its insulation, affected. This paper undertakes an extensive analysis effects excitation parameters power converter Insula...
