This paper is concerned with the design and simulation of a pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier for three-phase Permanent Magnetic motor drive. Based on the mathematical model of PWM rectifier, the dual-close-loop engineering design with decoupled feed-forward control is applied in the 3-phase voltage source rectifier. The objective to be reached is to realize unity power factor at the input...

Abstract – Power factor corrected rectifiers are new tendency in development of power supplies. This paper presents a brief review of some high power rectifiers structures and provides an assessment of each analyzed technology. As contribution, a novel hybrid high power rectifier topology is proposed and analyzed. An active unidirectional three phase rectifier is associated in parallel with a t...

In this work, an input-powered AC/DC CMOS bridge rectifier (CBR) is proposed using 0.18 μm CMOS process. It is based on a simple bridge connected full wave rectifier, without an external dc voltage to turn-ON. The rectifier may be used for energy harvesting applications with a typical output of relatively low-amplitude input and low frequency of ac voltages. The proposed CBR achieves a maximum ...

Endotracheal tube colonization in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation was investigated. In the first part of this prospective study, the airway access tube was examined for the presence of secretions, airway obstruction and bacterial colonization, in cases undergoing extubation or tube change. In the second part of the study, the sequence of oropharyngeal, gastric, respiratory tract and ...

tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. the experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°c and 430°c and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°c, in the downstream of argon gas flow. the products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...
