This paper presents the concept and results of a novel resonant DC-DC converter which achieves high voltage gain at low number utilized switches, stress on transistors, ZVS ZCS operation, efficiency variable gain. The uses switched-capacitors (SC) circuits with five switches allows it to reach six-fold By application adequate switching patterns, seven levels adjustment can be achieved. basic op...

Direct writing of hierarchical micro/nanofibers have recently gained popularity in flexible/stretchable electronics due to its low cost, simple process and high throughput. A kinetically controlled mechanoelectrospinning (MES) is developed to directly write diversified hierarchical micro/nanofibers in a continuous and programmable manner. Unlike conventional near-field electrospinning, our MES ...

The KY Converter, Which is a step up converter, The name given to this converter is first letter of the authors, K.I. Hwu, Y. T. Yau. This converter always operate in CCM, and the output current is non-pulsating, and low output voltage ripple and higher voltage boosting capability. In this paper, different modes of KY Converters are studied. The simulation is carried out to study the perfomance...

It is practically not feasible to measure the open-loop voltage gain of the operational amplifier in the open loop configuration. It is because the open-loop voltage gain of the operational amplifier is very large. In order to avoid the saturation of the output voltage, a very small input should be given to operational amplifier which is not possible to be measured practically by a digital mult...

This paper presents a predictable fixed gain instrumentation amplifier using switched capacitor instead of resistor to improve the accuracy of the gain as 10. This instrumentation amplifier builds up by two operational amplifiers which connect by switched capacitor. These switched capacitors are used to stable the whole circuit, fix the gain of total instrumentation amplifier. Using two operati...

Piezoelectric actuator is treated as RC load when it is modeled electrically. For some piezoelectric actuator applications, arbitrary voltage is required to actuate. Especially for unidirectional arbitrary voltage driving like as sine wave, some special inverter with circuit that can charge and discharge the capacitive energy can be used. In this case, the difference between power supply level ...

We present an overview of improvements in detection limit and responsivity of our biomimetic hair flow sensors by electrostatic spring-softening (ESS). Applying a DCbias voltage to our capacitive flow sensors improves the responsively by up to 80% for flow signals at frequencies below the sensor’s resonance. Application of frequency matched AC-bias voltages allows for tunable filtering and sele...
