The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) can provide simultaneous control of all basic power system paramaters (transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle). The controller can fulfill functions of reactive shunt Compensation, series compensation and phase shifting, meeting multiple control objectives. From a functional perspective, the objectives are met by appliying a cross coupling contr...

Dynein is a huge multisubunit microtubule (MT)-based motor, whose motor domain resides in the heavy chain. The heavy chain comprises a ring of six AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) modules with two slender protruding domains, the tail and stalk. It has been proposed that during the ATP hydrolysis cycle, this tail domain swings against the AAA ring as a lever arm to gener...

Power-electronic systems with voltage boosts use buck-boost converters. These converters suppress current and invert to improve swing. that swings. Researchers propose many converter models, but their total harmonic distortion (THD) limits scalability. Harmonics from additional components increase THD. The model filters excessive currents using inductor-based storage, capacitive filters, resist...

| The clock tree of modern synchronous VLSI circuits can consume as much as 50% of their entire power budget. Diierent methods of decreasing clock power dis-sipation have been proposed based on low-voltage swings, double-edge triggered ip-ops, gated clocks, etc. In this paper we propose two types of full-swing low-power CMOS clock drivers. Both are based on a stepped charging and discharging of...
