In this paper, the shape influence of piezoelectric beams including triangle, trapezoid, rectangle, inverted trapezoid, convex parabola, concave parabola, and comb-shaped (a combination of two triangular beams with a connector of 4 mm length) are addressed and analyzed by FEM. The analysis is performed for a bimorph piezoelectric beam. The analyzed parameters include the beam length, thickness ...

Brown ghost knife fish (Apteronotus leptorhynchus) can briefly increase their electric organ discharge (EOD) frequency to produce electrocommunication signals termed chirps. The chirp rate increases when fish are presented with conspecific fish or high-frequency (700-1100 Hz) electric signals that mimic conspecific fish. We examined whether A. leptorhynchus also chirps in response to artificial...

In the countryside of China, the main power supply mode is 220V single-phase power, which affects the widely application of three-phase agricultural appliances. What’s more, it means a block to the development of modern agriculture. However, frequency converter technique research is focused on three-phase high power frequency conversion technology at present, and there are very few achievements...

electric motors are the largest consumer of world electric energy, consuming more than twice as much as lighting, the next largest consumer. electric motors account for between 43 and 46% of all global electricity consumption approximately. they give rise to about 6 040 mt of co2 emissions. end‐users approximately spend usd 565 billion per year on electricity [1]. in recent years, increase in e...

The article covers the ways of achieving energy savings by controlling speed asynchronous electric motors in a frequency method. Frequency control is economical because it increases efficiency and reduces power loss adjusting motor.

Propose: Standard electroporation and electrochemotherapy caused the endothe- lial cell permeability and reduction in tumor blood flow. The effects of low voltage and high frequency electroporation on the endothelial cells permeability and viability were expected. Therefore, the propose of present study was to evaluate the effect of electroporation with bleomycin or alone on viability and perme...

In this paper, the effects of plasma discharge parameters on the nano particles formation process in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) reactor using a model based on equations of ionization kinetics for different active species are studied. A radio frequency applied electric field causes ionization inside the reactor and consequently different reaction schemically active speci...

Piezo-electric devices possess the ability to produce high voltages without load. However, to harvest this energy, the complex and capacitive internal structure must be deal with. This capacitive behavior makes the AC-DC conversion too involved. If a buck-boost topology is to be designed to regulate the DC output, the discontinuous mode provides constant input impedance for small amount of powe...
