This paper presents the designed method and implementation of stepped air-gap ferrite inductor applied in power factor correction (PFC). Conventionally, input PFC has a consideration on maximum output power; thus, designing for peak-power-load conditions results very large inductor. The proposed improves load-carrying capability without increasing volume when is operating conditions. maintains ...

This paper presents the effect of load carrying (position and weight of load) on the maximum peak values of traction coefficient between shoe sole and floor during walking on level walkway. Gait experiments were conducted by five healthy male adult participants walking on the force plates with carrying the loads. Each subject was tested at step length of 0.75 m and at walking speed of 1.4 m/s. ...

PURPOSE The ability to develop high levels of muscle power is considered an essential component of success in many sporting activities; however, the optimal load for the development of peak power during training remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal load required to observe peak power output (PPO) during the hang power clean in professional rugby playe...

The broken bearings and great noise and vibration often occurs with the small sugarcane harvester transfer case when it starts up working. To analyze the startup status of the transfer case conveniently and quickly, the finite element transient structure analysis is carried out. with virtual prototype technology to simulate the transfer case's startup dynamic process and measure the instantaneo...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. In this paper, in order to find type, size and location of FACTS devices in a power system a Dedicated Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (DIPSO) algorithm is developed for de...
