Abstract: This paper proposes a new control strategy for bidirectional DC-DC converter. This strategy aims at controlling a bidirectional DC-DC converter to behave like a virtual conductor. As a matter of fact, the voltage difference between the terminals of any conductor is zero volts. Conversely, the main target of this proposed control strategy is to keep the voltage difference between the c...

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology is being used for various high frequency applications such as T/R modules for radar, bluetooth communication modules, LAN switches, and automotive radar. One of the key properties of the electronic packages for these applications is microwave loss. LTCC metallizations are typical thick film conductors. Conventional thick film technology has rel...

We have developed a small, light, and multi-functional electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) using four semiconductor radiation detectors for dose monitoring of workers at nuclear power plants and high-energy accelerator facilities. This dosimeter is about 103 x 55 x 15 mm in size and approximately 110 g in weight, and capable of measuring gamma-ray and neutron doses in Hp(10), and beta-ray dose ...

Purpose In our proton beam therapy center, we use imaging plates (IP) for dose verification of field matching in irradiation (called patch-field technique). this study, a polymer gel dosimeter, which can perform three- dimensional distribution measurement, was used as new tool the patch method corresponding to rectangular irradiation. Method The results measurements PAGAT dosimeter irradiate tw...

LiMgBO3:Tb3+ TL phosphor was systematically developed having better personnel neutron dosimetry properties as compared with the standard LiF:Mg,Ti dosimeter. Neutron irradiated PL and EPR studies delineated underlying defect induced mechanism.

Audible noise generated from water drops collected on the transmission line conductor surface during foul weather is a major concern in UHV (ultrahigh voltage) transmission line design. Although the noise can be kept to an acceptable level by maintaining a surface electric gradient below 15 to 17 kV/cm, this alternative is quite costly since it would mean having larger conductor bundles and hen...
