The purpose of this study was to optimize the thickness of anodizing Aluminum coatings processed under pulse current mode through the Design of Experiments (DOE) method. Thickness measurement, polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to take Thickness and corrosion behaviors of the anodized coatings into consideration. Also, Field-emission scanning electron microsco...

The eukaryotic cell cycle is characterized by alternating oscillations in the activities of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC). Successful completion of the cell cycle is dependent on the precise, temporally ordered appearance of these activities. A modest level of Cdk activity is sufficient to initiate DNA replication, but mitosis and APC activation require ...

In numerous wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) the load changes dynamically. Current load release control schemes are usually developed and tested in a constant load environment. In this paper, we discuss four CONWIP-like lot release policies and assess their ability to buffer variability generated by the load changes and to keep the lot release variability as low as possible. All contro...

This application note describes the single-stage power factor correction (PFC) and presents the design guidelines of a 75W universal-input, single-stage PFC for LED lighting applications. Flyback converter topology controlled by the critical conduction mode control IC, FAN7530 is applied and several functions; such as CV/CC mode feedback circuits, cycle-by-cycle current limit, soft-starting fun...

The work presents the issue of measuring and analyzing energy consumption during a thermal drilling cycle. A research stand based on CNC lathe was presented, equipment which an experimental system electricity meter force gauge. devices used allowed for recording load power grid, machine tool drives, axial force, drill braking torque, current rotation spindle, position in relation to workpiece v...

Increases in RNA, protein and cell size were determined cytophotometrically during the cell division cycle of Tetrahymena. For these parameters different patterns were found. RNA accumulates slowly during G1 period and faster during macronuclear S. This agrees with the changing uridine incorporation rate which is at least partly related to the varying macronuclear DNA amount. Increases in prote...

Renewable energy, such as solar energy, is desirable for power generation due to their unlimited existence and environmental friendly nature. Reforming of the electricity sector along with various renewable energy promotion policies has increased the importance of small grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems utilizing single stage single phase inverters. This paper proposes a single-stage inv...
