This paper proposes a new power-factor-correction (PFC) topology, and explains its operation principle, its control mechanism, related application problems followed by experimental results. In this proposed topology, critical-conduction-mode (CRM) interleaved technique is applied to a bridgeless PFC in order to achieve high efficiency by combining benefits of each topology. This application is ...

Future manufacturing environments will be flexible and highly automated with control systems built as networks of computers. These computers will be expected to be adaptable, reconfigurable and fault-tolerant, operating autonomously and yet cooperating to perform the manufacturing task. This MICRO project has focused on the infrastructure required for building distributed manufacturing control ...

The LHC will soon provide proton-proton collisions at the unprecedented center of mass energy, √ s =14 TeV. This not only allows us to probe new regions of high-pT physics, but also low-x and forward physics. A selection of potential measurements are described to outline the prospects for low-x and forward physics in the ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, and LHCf experiments. 1 Prospects of Forward Energy Flo...

This paper explains about basic working principles, implementation problems, and experimental results of a new power factor correction (PFC) topology. In this proposed topology, a totem-pole boost PFC circuit that works under interleaved critical-conduction-mode (CRM) condition is presented. The circuit is developed towards high efficiency, high performance, lowcost, simple control scheme, and ...
