This paper presents a control method which combines sliding mode approach of direct power control and operates with constant switching frequency. This novel scheme Sliding Mode Constant Switching Frequency Direct Power Control (SM-CSF-DPC) employs a nonlinear sliding mode control (SMC) approach to directly calculate the required converter’s control voltage. The constant switching frequency (CSF...

A position control of DC motor servo drive based on the Sliding Mode (SM) approach is presented. The modeling and analysis of the servo DC motor are obtained. The Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) design changes such that its performance is substantially improved. To improve the controller performance in steady stat (zero error) the Integral Sliding Mode Controller (ISMC) is used. Since the main dr...

This study investigated the influence of light-curing at high irradiances on micromechanical properties of resin cements. Three dual-curing resin cements and a light-curing flowable resin composite were light-cured with an LED curing unit in Standard mode (SM), High Power mode (HPM), or Xtra Power mode (XPM). Maximum irradiances were determined using a MARC PS radiometer, and exposure duration ...

The various search modes for the Higgs bosons of the Standard Model (SM) and its Minimal Supersymmetric Extension (MSSM) at the International Linear Collider (ILC) will be summarized briefly. In particular, as a unique discovery mode the production of heavy neutral MSSM Higgs bosons for medium values of tan β in photon collisions will be presented. Furthermore, τ + τ − fusion into MSSM Higgs bo...

In this paper we present general formulae for the calculation of LFV Higgs decays $H_r \to l_a l_b$ at one-loop, with $H_r$ being part spectrum a generic multi-scalar extension Standard Model (SM) neutrino masses. We develop method based on classification particles appearing in loop diagrams (scalars, fermions and vectors), by identifying corresponding couplings, are able to compact expressions...

Receiving correct answer feedback following a retrieval attempt has proven to be a highly effective means of learning new information, yet the mechanisms behind its efficacy remain poorly understood. Here, fMRI was used to examine how BOLD activity measured during a period of feedback could predict subsequent memory (SM) performance on a final test. Twenty-five human subjects studied pairs of a...

Polymer waveguide (WG) S-bends are necessary for fan-out routing techniques and optical splitting in high-density optical interconnects. Designing and manufacturing of optimal S-bends are critical for minimizing optical link loss while maintaining overall size and layout constraints. Complete structural loss analysis is demonstrated theoretically and shown experimentally utilizing both radial a...

In this study, a Neural Network (NN) based data fusion and estimation algorithm is developed, which could be applied in monitoring and detection applications that use measurements coming from multiple sensors. For NN based applications, a fast training approach which can also guarantee the global minimum is highly desirable and is subject for ongoing research. For this purpose, in this study, a...
