in this paper, we investigate the parameters affecting total harmonic distortion (thd) and power supply rejection ratio (psrr) in pwm class d amplifiers (cdas) on the basis of linear models with feedback. from our mathematical analysis, we show that the thd of a pwm class d amplifier with feedback can be improved by increasing the gain of the integrator through adding another amplifier at the o...

Switching costs, the real or perceived cost of changing product providers, has become increasingly important in information-intensive businesses. Reduced search and transactions costs have made it possible for customers to more readily evaluate alternative suppliers, increasing switching. At the same time, the high fixed cost structure of customer acquisition and operations in information-inten...

Magnetization dynamics symmetry plays important roles in magnetization switching. Here we study magnetic field and spin torque induced magnetization switching. Spin moment transferring from polarized itinerant electrons to local magnetization provides a magnetization switching mechanism without using external magnetic field. Besides its importance in fundamental magnetization switching dynamics...

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) is one of the few commercial platforms for building optical switches. 2D MEMS L-switching matrix has been introduced recently to double the sizes of 2D MEMS crossbar switches. The sizes of switches are mainly limited by the Gaussian signal loss associated path difference. Though the design of L-switching matrix improves system scalability but it suffers in...

: GSM operators are dominant players inIndonesian cellular telecommunicationindustry. However, these players are experiencing high churn rate, delineates that they experience difficulty to keep customers.User experience influences customer decision to induce switching cost and perception when viable competing exist in the market, therefore, contribute in creating switching barriers to keep cust...

When different objects switch identities in the multiple identity tracking (MIT) task, viewers need to rebind objects' identity and location, which requires attention. This rebinding helps people identify the regions targets are in (where they need to focus their attention) and inhibit unimportant regions (where distractors are). This study investigated the processing of attentional tracking af...

This paper proposes an efficient video stream switching scheme among compressed video streams coded at different quality levels and bit rates. The conventional stream switching scheme in H2.64/AVC is effective in switching, but degrades the compression efficiency of the transmitted stream even if the switching operation does not take place. In the proposed scheme, no modification is made to the...

In this paper, a new bumpless transfer method is introduced based on slow-fast decomposition of the controller. The method is especially well-suited to situations in which the plant model is poor or yet to be identified, as may be the case in adaptive switching control. Simulation results are presented.

The key cognitive impairments of children with attention deficit/-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) include executive control functions such as inhibitory control, task-switching, and working memory (WM). In this training study we examined whether task-switching training leads to improvements in these functions. Twenty children with combined type ADHD and stable methylphenidate medication performed...

SiC Schottky Barrier diodes (SiC-SBD) are known to oscillate/ring in the output terminal when used as free-wheeling diodes in voltage source converters. This ringing is due to RLC resonance between the diode capacitance, parasitic resistance and circuit stray inductance. In this paper, a model has been developed for calculating the switching energy of SiC diodes as a function of the switching r...
