High indium content In0.86Al0.14As/In0.86Ga0.14As double heterojunction bipolar transistors (DHBTs) were grown on InP substrates using thin 6.0 Å metamorphic compositionally graded buffer layers. Good DC and RF characteristics have been demonstrated, with high gain (~30), breakdown voltage greater than 2.5 V, turn-on voltage reduction by a factor of two compared to existing InP bipolar technolo...

There is a fundamental conductance ÷ voltage limit in low voltage (<4kT/q) tunnel switching devices that obtain a sharp turn off by relying upon the band edges to abruptly cut off the available density of states. The Fermi occupation probabilities are thermally broadened by 4kbT. However, current is only allowed to flow in a narrow energy range limited by the applied voltage, V. This means that...

i ABSTRACT The partially-depleted (PD) silicon Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MESFET) is becoming more and more attractive for analog and RF applications due to its high breakdown voltage. Compared to conventional CMOS high voltage transistors, the silicon MESFET can be fabricated in commercial standard Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) CMOS foundries without any change to the process. T...

Integrating low-carbon technologies (e.g. heat pumps, photovoltaic systems) in buildings influences the stability of low-voltage grid, which therefore often requires to be reinforced. This article proposes a techno-economic methodology identify reinforcements needed maintain grid at lowest life-cycle cost. Novel contributions include consideration three-phase connection as reinforcement option ...

This paper deals with an on-line method for turn-to-turn short-circuit fault detection in low-voltage permanent-magnet synchronous machine drives. Due to the closed-loop control, the fault effects are reflected in the voltage. Therefore, an appropriate diagnostic index is proposed, which is derived from the positiveand negative-sequences of the voltage references. These sequences are obtained i...

introduction:  electroporation  is  a  technique  for  increasing  the  permeability  of  the  cell  membrane  to  otherwise  non-permeate  molecules  due  to  an  external  electric  field.  this  permeability  enhancement  is  detectable if the induced transmembrane voltage becomes greater than a critical value which depends on the  pulse  strength  threshold.  in  this  study,  the  variabil...

The aim of this study is to propose a high voltage lift isolated full bridge dc-dc converter. The proposed converter consists of an isolation transformer a low turn ratio to obtain high step up voltage gain. The secondary of the transformer connected with two boosting capacitors which connects parallel when power switches switch on period and discharged in series during the switch off period. I...

Large three-dimensional virtual space and walk-through animations are used in navigation systems, games, and movies, etc . In three-dimensional space using the CG data, reality is dependent on the texture quality of buildings. However, the costs for high -quality texture data are also high , which makes it very difficult to reproduce the reality of the real world completely. In this research , ...
