In this paper, we consider the problem of extending existing submodule construction techniques that have been developed for finite state models into more expressive and compact behavioral models that handle data through parameterized interactions, state variables and simple guards. We provide a behavioral model based on extended Input-Output Automata and describe an algorithm that provides the ...

This paper describes the electro-thermal design of a medium voltage modular multilevel converter prototype, from the submodule power semiconductor thermal requirements to the overall system level integration. The high number of semiconductors and capacitors involved are stressed differently depending on the actual operating conditions, as discussed in the paper. The presented design considers a...

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and let M be an infinite unitary R-module. (Unless indicated otherwise, all rings are commutative with identity 1 ̸ = 0 and all modules are unitary.)ThenM is called a Jónsson module provided every proper submodule of M has smaller cardinality than M. Dually, M is said to be homomorphically smaller (HS for short) if |M/N| < |M| for every nonzero submodule...

Abstract: Let be a commutative ring and be a unitary module. We define a semiprime submodule of a module and consider various properties of it. Also we define semi-radical of a submodule of a module and give a number of its properties. We define modules which satisfy the semi-radical formula and present the existence of such a module.  

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. A proper submodule $N$ of an $R$-module $M$ is an n-submodule if $rmin N~(rin R, min M)$ with $rnotinsqrt{Ann_R(M)}$, then $min N$. A number of results concerning n-submodules are given. For example, we give other characterizations of n-submodules. Also various properties of n-submodules are considered.

A module MR is called right principally quasi-Baer (or simply right p.q.-Baer) if the right annihilator of a principal submodule of R is generated by an idempotent. Let R be a ring. Let α be an endomorphism of R and MR be a α-compatible module and T = R[[x;α]]. It is shown that M [[x]]T is right p.q.-Baer if and only if MR is right p.q.-Baer and the right annihilator of any countably-generated ...

A new bidirectional isolated Zero-VoltageSwitching (ZVS) DC-DC converter with nonpulsating input and output current is proposed. This converter is ideally suited for battery charging application and is applied as a submodule in a battery storage system based on a modular multilevel converter (MC). The current output of the proposed DC-DC converter enables small current ripple for directly inter...
