Modeling and design of an AC to DC converter

A step-up/down single-phase AC-to-DC power converter without current sensor is proposed to achieve high performance and simple control logic. The power converter adopts a front-end diode rectifier so that only one active switch is required. The familiar state-space averaging technique for discontinuous mode DC-to-DC power converters is extended to model the proposed AC-to-DC converter. Unlike the existing model, which is valid only for a very low frequency range, namely below line frequency, the proposed model is applicable up to half switching frequency. The design of the controller is detailed. Selected experimental results are presented to verify the proposed theory

MERLIN: a device diagnosis system based on analytic models

An approach to computer-aided interpretation of parametric test data for integrated circuit process-problem diagnosis is presented. In contrast to a conventional expert system, which reasons with a knowledge base consisting of rules acquired from human experts, the system presented centers its knowledge around analytic device equations. By using equations as the basis of the system knowledge, a more universal, well-organized, and concise level of knowledge is encoded. With the use of objects to present this knowledge, a great deal of useful information outside that described by only the symbolic expressions can be represented, and extension to qualitative or numeric models should be straightforward. The result is an expressive, well-organized, easily built, and easily maintained knowledge base. The authors describe the system's interactive graphical displays and the automatic data interpretation algorithms. Examples evaluating n-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) parameter variations, interconnect parameter variations, and interconnect yields are used for illustration     

Effect of catalysts in the quality of syngas and by-products obtained by co-gasification of coal and wastes. 1. Tars and nitrogen compounds abatement

The aim of this work is to analyse the possibility of using co-gasification technology to process coal mixed with wastes to take profit of its energy content and at the same time to minimize the environmental impact associated with the use of wastes and to diminish the costs of flue gas treatment. The addition to coal of different types of materials, like: pine based waste, petcoke and polyethylene (PE), was not found to give rise to any operational problems, regarding both the feeding system and gasification process and led to higher energy conversions, however, the gas presented higher tars and hydrocarbons content. Several catalysts were tested, such as, dolomite, olivine, nickel and magnesium oxides, zinc oxides and cobalt and molybdenum oxides. Catalyst action was analysed in tars release and also in ammonia compounds reduction. The presence of catalysts allowed increasing hydrogen release, whilst there was a decrease in hydrocarbons and tars contents. A nickel-magnesium oxide was the catalyst that led to the highest reduction in hydrocarbons and tars. This catalyst also led to the lowest NH₃ content in the fuel gas produced, due to the catalyst efficiency in NH₃ destruction.

Gel formation in diimide‐hydrogenated polymers

The hydrogenation of diene‐based polymers via diimide is a very attractive alternative to the conventional catalytic hydrogenation route based on gaseous molecular hydrogen. However, serious crosslinking always accompanies it and limits the end‐use properties of the polymers. Gel formation in polymers that are hydrogenated via diimide has been investigated in detail through an inspection of all the chemical reactions involved in the process. The results indicate that hydrogen peroxide decomposition, some reactions related to oxygen, and the redox reaction between hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine are capable of generating radicals. However, radicals generated in the aqueous phase do not appear to initiate the crosslinking of diene‐based polymers in the latex form. It is proposed that the primary radicals giving rise to crosslinking are generated in the polymer phase in situ, and the step responsible for generating these organic radicals is possibly the diimide disproportionation reaction. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

炭黑填充硬聚氯乙烯的改性

为使聚氯乙烯具有抗静电性能,采用加入具有导电性填料的方法,但加入大量的填料,会使硬聚氯乙烯的冲击性能降低,加工性能变差。本文是在以炭黑为填料的基础上,研究不同的改性剂和加工助剂改进硬聚氯乙烯的效果,结果表明,加入冲击改性剂和加工助剂后,大大增加了硬聚氯乙烯的冲击强度,且加工性能也得到改善,同时由于炭黑具有补强效果,其拉伸强度和弯曲强度在加入改性剂后也能满足使用要求。
