Electrical resistors for power lines are used worldwide as Neutral Earthing Resistors short-circuit current reduction in grids, and also Filtering combination with capacitors inductances. The manufacturers of such must certificate that they withstand the mechanical thermal stresses imposed by external loads, accordance IEC 62001 standard. Although this certification can be achieved means testin...

A new class of vibrational energy harvester based on Magnetostrictive material (MsM) Metglas 2605SC is deigned, developed, and tested in building practical energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. Compared to piezoelectric material, Metglas 2605SC offers advantages including ultra-high energy conversion efficiency, high power density, longer life cycles without depolarization issue, and flex...

We report on a direct experimental evidence of shot noise in a linear macro-scopic resistor. The origin of the shot noise comes from the fluctuation of the total number of charge carriers inside the resistor associated with their diffu-sive motion under the condition that the dielectric relaxation time becomes longer than the dynamic transit time. Present results show that neither potential bar...

An n-well ion-implanted resistor is shown to work as a very-linear high-gain photodetector at 4.2 K. We take advantage of freeze-out and light-assisted carrier ionisation effects to create a photodetector with a current-gain factor G from 1 x 1 0 ~ to 1 . 6 ~ 1 0 ~ . Experimental results show that at the current gain of 1.6x106, excellent linearity in optical response is obtained when the resis...

Chua's circuit is a simple electronic network which exhibits a variety of bifurcation phenomena and attractors. The circuit consists of two capacitors, an inductor, a linear resistor, and a nonlinear resistor. This paper describes the design methodology for a robust practical op amp implementation of Chua's circuit. In addition, we present experimental results and SPICE simulations for a workin...

A novel digitally programmable floating impedance converter circuit is realized using two CMOS digitally programmable differential voltage current conveyors and three grounded passive elements. The realized impedance converter can provide digitally programmable floating impedances like ideal floating resistor, capacitor, inductor and frequency dependent negative resistor through appropriate sel...
