The nature of Major League Baseball (MLB) requires competition in order to keep the business alive. In any sports league, the presence of competitors allows for the livelihood of the game through producing an event with an uncertain outcome. The current state of the game lacks the competitive balance necessary for a thriving industry. Much of this competitive imbalance possesses the underlying ...

The droop current sharing method is analyzed, and a general design procedure is proposed. It is shown that the current-sharing accuracy of N+1 power supplies is a function of the output-voltage set-point accuracy, the slope of the outputvoltage droop, and gains of the control loop. It was found that to achieve a current sharing accuracy of 10% the output voltage of the paralleled power supplies...

abstract following the advances in mobile communication and information technology, smart phones have been used in a wide variety of commercial, social, entertainment, file sharing and health transactions and applications. the current procedures in healthcare environment for patient registration, appointment scheduling and payment are time consuming and somehow tiresome. traditionally, patients...

this study aims to explore the relationship between entrepreneurial behavior and tacit knowledge sharing through 314 questionnaires provided by university incubators. for data analysis, pearson correlation is used. the study has found that there are meaningful relationships between entrepreneurial behavior and tacit knowledge sharing in university incubators. existing research has concentrated ...

The trend in next-generation switched-mode power supplies will lead to modular, scalable solutions which can deliver power efficiently over a wide range of operation. Multiple parallel power stages, often called “phases”, are necessary to meet these requirements. This paper details a new approach to introduce more control features like phase-alignment, current sharing and phase shedding, which ...

The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is now the favoured power semiconductor device for most medium power applications. One major difficulty with current IGBT manufacturing technologies is the inability to produce chips rated at more than 100 amps both reliably and cost-effectively. To achieve higher current ratings, a number of chips are connected in parallel to form a module; up to 32...

-Passive current sharing in multiphase converters, where resistive losses are not dominant, is a quite complex goal. In this work, input impedance of active clamp boost converters is used like a lossless passive equalization in multistage high power factor rectifier. This technique allows the design of high power converters by and easy parallel association of power stages. Experimental results ...

Many companies attempt to encourage cross-project knowledge transfer so that lessons learnt on one project are reused by other projects. The most common strategy for encouraging this cross-project knowledge transfer is to require project teams to capture what has happened on a project and to write down lessons learned, which are then stored on a database and so available through the intranet fo...

the present paper aimed at developing an approach based on fuzzy inference system (fis) for measuring of knowledge sharing in the organization. in recent years there has been increasing interest in the knowledge sharing by experts and managers in the world, according to increasing importance of knowledge as the key source of competitive advantage, organizations have made serious effort to find ...
