Understanding analog circuit design primarily invloves becoming familiar with passive RC and RLC networks. This is due to the fact that circuit essentially involves active elements embedded in a network of parasitics: resistors, inductors and node capacitors. Other important signal processing circuits which are made up of passive elements are attenuators, ADCs and R-2R ladder networks in DACs. ...

Controllable alternating induction magnetic field generation technology which induces plant seeds to breed on floor space has been developed. The incentive ferrite induction coil is used in the device to produce induced magnetic field. The common AC-DC-AC topology was adopted for the variable frequency power supply, realizing the VF. AC-DC-AC AC power inverter circuit adopts SPWM inverter frequ...

In recent years, order-reduction techniques based on Krylov subspaces have become the methods of choice for generating macromodels of large multi-port RLC circuits. Despite the success of these techniques and the extensive research efforts in this area, for general RCL circuits, the existing Krylov subspace-based reduction algorithms do not fully preserve all essential structures of the given l...

The paper further elaborates on a passive output that was constructed in [3] with the purpose of providing an energy-balance (EB) interpretation for basic interconnection and damping assignment (BIDA [6, 7]). Such output has its roots in power shaping [4], an alternative method to stabilize nonlinear RLC circuits subjected to the dissipation obstacle [6]. It has been recently shown in [5] that ...

This paper proposes a novel idea for the synthesis of active filters that is based on the use of signal-flow graph (SFG) stamps of differential difference current conveyors (DDCCs). On the basis of an RLC passive network or a filter symbolic transfer function, an equivalent SFG is constructed. DDCCs’ SFGs are identified inside the constructed ‘active’ graph, and thus the equivalent circuit can ...

This paper presents an improved method for determining the share of harmonic distortion generated by utility and customer in a distribution system. The method is based on a Norton equivalent circuit to represent the whole system, modeling the customer side with RLC components by using measured voltage and current at the point of common coupling (PCC). The proposed method evaluates the contribut...

The purpose of this work is to present some recent results in an ongoing research project between Ghent University and Chess Medical Technology Company Belgium. The overall aim of the project is to provide a fast method for identification of the human respiratory system in order to allow for an instantaneously diagnosis of the patient by the medical staff. A novel parametric model of the human ...

The assembly and mechanics of actomyosin stress fibers (SFs) depend on myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) phosphorylation, which is driven by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and Rho-associated kinase (ROCK). Although previous work suggests that MLCK and ROCK control distinct pools of cellular SFs, it remains unclear how these kinases differ in their regulation of RLC phosphorylation or how ph...
