The use of renewable energy in power generation and sudden changes in load and fault in power transmission lines  may cause a voltage drop in the system and challenge the reliability of the system. One way to compensate the changing nature of renewable energies in the short term without the need to disconnect loads or turn on other plants, is the use of renewable energy storage. The use of ener...

After active neutral point clamped(ANPC) adopts SiC-MOSFETs, SiC-MOSFETs are easily damaged due to the excessive peak voltage. This paper establishes a single-phase parasitic inductance model of ANPC based on SiC-MOSFET half-bridge modules. Then, this model, cause voltage during commutation is analyzed. Finally, short-loop modulation strategy proposed under full working conditions ANPC. The con...

BACKGROUND Inhibition of voltage-gated Na channels (Na(v)) is implicated in the synaptic actions of volatile anesthetics. We studied the effects of the major halogenated inhaled anesthetics (halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, enflurane, and desflurane) on Na(v)1.4, a well-characterized pharmacological model for Na(v) effects. METHODS Na currents (I(Na)) from rat Na(v)1.4 alpha-subunits heter...

This paper introduces a voltage multiplier (VM) circuit which can step up a minimum voltage of 150 mV (peak). The operation and characteristics of this converter circuit are described. The voltage multiplier circuit is also tested with micro and macro scale electromagnetic vibrational generators and the effect of the VM on the optimum load conditions of the electromagnetic generator is presente...

On-chip simultaneous switching noise (SSN) has become an important issue in the design of power distribution networks in current VLSI/ULSI circuits. An analytical expression characterizing the simultaneous switching noise voltage is presented here based on a lumped model. The waveform describing the SSN voltage is quite close to the waveform obtained from SPICE. The peak value of the simultaneo...

Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs), miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (MEPSCs), and acetylcholine-induced current fluctuations (noise) have been studied in voltage-clamped bullfrog parasympathetic ganglion cells of the atrial septum. EPSCs were also recorded from voltage-clamped sympathetic B cells and, in general, it was found that the basic properties of the EPSCs are similar i...
