A simple, topology-independent method is proposed for simulating the responses of open and closed-loop quasiresonant DC-DC convertors operating in the zero-currentswitching mode (ZCS-QRC). The method hinges on the substitution of the resonant network and switch assembly, fundamental in the realisation of such systems, by an equivalent circuit which represents its average behaviour. This permits...

Electric vehicles are regarded as a significant way to mitigate the global energy crisis and environmental pollution problem. Motor control is very important part for electric vehicles. As hardware, motor controller usually has components such power module, microprocessor unit, IGBT driver, sensors, resolver-to-digital convertor. software, field-oriented (FOC) with space vector pulse width modu...

CPS has extraordinary significance for the future of the U.S. industry. There is much more at stake than just extending our leadership in networking and information technology to an exploding new market segment. Falling behind in the foundations of CPS may render our scientific and technological infrastructure obsolete, leading to rapid loss in our competitiveness in major industrial segments i...

Welcome to the 5th Workshop on Hot Topics in Computer Networks! We received 114 submissions. The ten members of the program committee submitted 421 reviews, and external reviewers submitted an additional six reviews. HotNets papers are shorter than a normal conference submission, and were generally enjoyable reading, but the load on the program committee was still non-trivial, and they all dese...

Background: Forward head posture is one of the most prevalent abnormal postures in patients with neck disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of forward head posture on gait ground reaction force characteristics in children. Methods: Twelve children with forward head posture (age: 11.8±1.3 years) and sixteen healthy control children (...

Thermoelectric devices may have an essential role in the development of fuel-saving, environmentallyfriendly, and cost-effective energy sources for power generation based on direct conversion heat into electrical energy. A wide usage thermoelectric systems already exhibits high reliability long operation time space industry gas pipe systems. The application solar generators (TEGs) arelimited ma...

In this paper, we present a real and simulated study of frequency up mixing employing an electro-optical sampling semiconductor optical amplifier Mach–Zehnder interferometer (SOA–MZI) along with the differential modulation schema. The signal is generated by pulse clock (OPC) at fs= 19.5 GHz. quadratic phase shift keying (QPSK) intermediate (IF) fIF shifted to high frequencies nfs ± SOA–MZI outp...
