The Designing of a single-inductor dual output (SIDO) fly-back power factor correction (PFC) converter is proposed, in which the multiplexing of a single-inductor is implemented with fly back converter through which each output can be regulated independently. The converter will be operating under in critical conduction mode (CRM).The efficiency along with power factor, total harmonic distortion...

We propose a class of estimators of the Bayes factor which is based on an extension of the bridge sampling identity of Meng & Wong (1996) and makes use of the output of the reversible jump algorithm of Green (1995). Within this class we give the optimal estimator and also a suboptimal one which may be simply computed on the basis of the acceptance probabilities used within the reversible jump a...

With rapid progress in scientific research activities and growing competition for funding resources, it becomes critical to effectively evaluate an individual researcher's annual academic performance, or their cumulative performance within the last 3-5 years. It is particularly important for young independent investigators, and is also useful for funding agencies when determining the productivi...

Working with input-output transfer functions in the frequency domain and exploiting a formulation involving generalized Sylvester resultants, we are able to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for generic invariant factor assignment, in several cases, using proper dynamic output feedback compensators.

BACKGROUND Wedge filters can be used as missing tissue compensators or wedge pairs to alter the shape of isodose curves so that two beams can be angled with a small hinge angle at a target volume without creating a hotspot. AIM In this study the dosimetric properties of Varian Enhanced Dynamic Wedge (EDW) and physical wedges (PW) were analyzed and compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ionometric ...

In this paper a single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) buck-boost PFC converter operating in critical conduction mode (CRM) is proposed. By multiplexing a single inductor, each output of SIDO buck-boost converter can be regulated independently. Compared with conventional two-stage multiple output converter, SIDO buck-boost PFC converter benefits from significant overall cost saving, small size and ...
