LED PWM dimming application for large scale LED video displays is analyzed. The need for short light pulse duration is outlined. PWM dimming with short driving pulses is investigated experimentally. The LED response time skew introduces the nonlinearity for PWM dimming. For LED response time skew estimation, a method is suggested that has been successfully applied to measure some of today’s mar...

conclusions anova results showed that the effect of cycle and time on the selected bacterial removal efficiency were more important than that of the microbial concentration. results the results showed that e. coli and e. faecalis were effectively treated at 10 pulse/s in 9 minutes and 6 log cfu/ml bacterial suspension (p < 0.0001 for e. coli with 99.99% (4 log) and p = 0.0002 for e. faecalis wi...

In this paper, the studies of finding the failure location on a sample cable by using the multiple pulse reflection method and the fault on the results of the measurement have been examined. A pulse generator with amplitude of 12 V and pulse width from 20 ns to 2 us has been designed as a multiple pulse reflection meter. The velocity of reflection pulse is calibrated in embedded system. The SOP...

The highest time resolution of the pulse radiolysis had remained about 30 ps since the late 1960’s. To make clear the primary processes in the radiation chemistry and physics within 30 ps, we developed a stroboscopic pulse radiolysis system for the absorption spectroscopy with the time resolution of 2.0 ps (10-90% rise time). The time resolution of 2.0 ps was estimated from the time-dependent b...

Our recent effort to test a 50 kV, 1 kA, 50 ns pulse width, 10 ns pulse rise time FID pulse generator with a 250 ft transmission cable, resistive load, and existing RHIC injection kicker magnet has produced unparalleled results. This is the very first attempt to drive a high strength fast kicker magnet with a nano second high pulsed power (50 MVA) generator for large accelerator and colliders. ...

This paper proposes an approach for the minimum time swing upof a rotary inverted pendulum. Our rotary inverted pendulum is supported bya pivot arm. The pivot arm rotates in a horizontal plane by means of a servomotor. The opposite end of the arm is instrumented with a joint whose axisis along the radial direction of the motor. A pendulum is suspended at thejoint. The task is to design a contro...

We present a time-transformation approach for studying the propagation of optical pulses inside a nonlinear medium. Unlike the conventional way of solving for the slowly varying amplitude of an optical pulse, our new approach maps directly the input electric field to the output one, without making the slowly varying envelope approximation. Conceptually, the time-transformation approach shows th...
