In this paper, a generalized buck-boost Z-H converter based on switched inductors is proposed. This structure consists of a set of series connected switched-inductor cells. The voltage conversion ratio of the proposed structure is adjusted by changing the number of cells and the duty cycle. Like the conventional Z-H converter, the shoot-through switching state and the diode before LC network ar...

In this paper, we propose a new technique for enhancing 3-D shapes approximated by triangle meshes: high-boost mesh filtering. Concepts based on the high-boost filter in signal and image processing are used for the development of the mesh filtering. An algorithm of the high-boost mesh filtering consists of affecting the high-boost filter to face normals on a triangle mesh and updating mesh vert...

Abstract It is an open question whether mechanical resonators can be made nonlinear with vibrations approaching the quantum ground state. This requires engineering of a nonlinearity far beyond what has been realized so far. Here we discover mechanism to boost Duffing by coupling nanotube resonator single-electron tunnelling and operating system in ultrastrong-coupling regime. We find that therm...
