This paper reports on the application of a zero average current error (ZACE) control method in single-phase five level cascaded inverter based systems. The dual ramptime method and its adaptation to the five level cascaded converter are described in detail. Recommendations on the choice of control parameters and how to improve noise immunity are included. Experimental results demonstrate the suitability of the control method, since the lower order harmonics are negligible and the ripple current frequency is kept within a narrow band. 相似文献

Theory of te precipitation and related effects in CdTe Crystals 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A thermodynamic calculation is presented which explains the origin of often reported large stress fields in and around Te
precipitates and associated punching of dislocation loops in star like patterns. The calculation is based on the consideration
that the stoichiometric deviation in Te saturated crystals are accommodated by Te interstitials, Cd multivacancy complexes
and Te antisites; the Te interstitials are most mobile of them, and dominate the precipitation process; and the precipitates
when they appear first are in droplet form. The droplet state is modelled on the basis of the Lennard-Jones 6-12 interaction
potential. The droplet growth is envisaged to occur via the following two processes operating in tandem: first, capture of
excess Te interstitials to cause droplet overpressurization, and then, punching of interstitial dislocation loops whenever
the pressure exceeds a threshold value. The flow of Te interstitials into the droplets is driven by the difference between
their formation energies in the lattice and the free energy change of the droplets per Te atom added. It is shown that the
achievable droplet pressures far exceed that required for the loop punching and sustaining the growth cycle. The occurrence
of varying precipitate morphologies are explained, and the possibility of nucleating high presssure Te phases is examined.
Some experimental evidence is also presented which corroborate the theoretical arguments involved. 相似文献

The influence of extracellular Na (Na0) on cellular Ca transport and distribution was studied in rat kidney slices. Calcium efflux from prelabeled slices was depressed when Na0 was completely replaced by choline or tetraethylammonium (TEA) ions and it was markedly stimulated when Na was reintroduced in a Na-free medium. However, reducing Na0 (with choline or TEA as substituting ions) did not increase the total slice 40Ca, their total exchangeable Ca pool, or the 40Ca or 45Ca of mitochondria isolated from these slices. Kinetic analyses of steady-state 45Ca desaturation curves showed that reducing Na0 depressed the exchange of Ca across the plasma membrane, slightly decreased the cytosolic Ca pool, but did not significantly affect the mitochondrial Ca pool and Ca cycling. Ouabain (10(-3)M) which should reduce the Na gradient across the plasma membrane had no effect on calcium distribution and transport. These results suggest that in kidney cells low Na0 depresses Ca influx as well as Ca efflux; there may be an interaction between Na and Ca at a possible carrier located in the plasma membrane, but there is no Na/Ca exchange as described in several excitable tissues. 相似文献

Although most subdural hematomas are considered to be venous in origin, they may also be of arterial origin. When subdural bleeding is due to the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm, most commonly at the middle cerebral or internal carotid arteries, the amount of subdural blood is usually small and of no clinical importance. We describe two patients with subdural hematomas secondary to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm, who needed prompt surgical treatment. The first patient had a left internal carotid artery aneurysm at the origin of the ophthalmic artery. In the second patient the aneurysm was at the anterior communicating artery and rebled into the subdural space directly through a right intraparenchymatous frontobasal hematoma. The most probable mechanism of subdural bleeding in our two patients was the existence of adhesions between the aneurysm and the arachnoid due to previous minor hemorrhages. The indication of cerebral angiography in a patient with subdural hematoma is based mainly upon the existence of meningeal signs, the presence of blood in more than one intracranial compartment or the rapid progression of bleeding. 相似文献

Unity and controlled power factor AC-DC power converters require a current control technique with zero average current error (ZACE) in each switching period. Acting on the current error signal alone, a ZACE controlled converter offers complete real and reactive power flow control with negligible low order current harmonics, a narrow switching frequency band, and relative immunity to DC link or AC line voltage harmonics. Slope-generated hysteresis, a new ZACE current control method is introduced. Simulation and experimental results in a three phase converter are presented 相似文献

The lossless inductor current sensing method is well-known and is frequently applied in the measurement of output current in DC-DC converters due to its low cost and simplicity. This technique uses a low-pass filter that is matched to the inductance (L) and winding resistance to compensate for induced voltages due to the inductor. However, the waveform fidelity above the corner frequency of the inductor is generally poor due to large production tolerances and thermal drift. In this letter, we propose the use of a coupled sense winding, which increases the corner frequency of the sensing circuit by more than two orders of magnitude. We show, as an example, that for a 3.85 muH inductor the corner frequency of the measurement circuit can be increased from 36 Hz using the conventional approach to 5.8 kHz using the coupled sense winding method. Above the new corner frequency, a low-pass filter is still required but may now be constructed using a smaller capacitor and with improved high-frequency response. 相似文献

Below gap optical losses in as-grown n-type CdTe crystals were analyzed in terms of free carrier absorption and Mie extinction
due to Te precipitates. Experimental absorption spectra measured between 2 to 20 μm exhibited the well-known free carrier
absorption behavior αFCA∼λx with x=3 due to scattering by polar optical phonons. In shorter wavelength regions below 6 μm, however, additional contributions
to the light loss due to absorption and scattering by precipitates were also observed. Assuming a log-normal size distribution,
the precipitate extinction spectra were calculated according to Mie theory within the electric and magnetic dipole and electric
quadrupole approximation. A comparison with the experimental spectra identifies the precipitates and enables estimation of
their sizes and total number density. In this investigation, both undoped and In-doped CdTe crystals grown from stoichiometric
melts by vertical asymmetric Bridgman method were used. It was found that In doping, in general, suppresses Te precipitation.
At high doping level (melt containing∼1019 In atoms cm−3), the formation of In2Te2 is also indicated. It is demonstrated that the Mie extinction analysis offers an, expedient method to rapidly analyze the
precipitates in CdTe and in similar other wide gap materials in a nondestructive manner. 相似文献

This paper addresses a current debate about the morphology of M7C3 phase in the chrome carbide overlay (CCO) and white iron community. This morphology was investigated using a serial sectioning technique in combination with computer post-processing software. A 600×600×300 μm volume of CCO was reconstructed in three dimensions (3D) to determine the difference between blade and rod-like carbide morphologies. The 3D analysis revealed that the two carbides morphologies correspond to the same hexagonal rod-like structures, but are oriented in different directions relative to the sectioning plane. 相似文献

Despite a growing body of research on OSS production, much remains to be learned. One important issue concerns the measures of OSS project success and its determinants. In this paper, we empirically study the determinants of OSS success as measured by the number of subscribers and developers working on an OSS project. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our model forecasts these success measures more accurately as compared to a naive model.We find that OSS projects that develop software to work on Windows/UNIX/Linux operating systems, and developed using C or its derivative languages experience larger increase in subscribers and attract more developers than projects that do not have these characteristics. OSS projects with semi-restrictive licenses have fewer subscribers and attract fewer developers. Interestingly, OSS projects that accept financial donations and are targeted at IS/IT professionals have more subscribers than others, although these characteristics do not affect the developer base. The number of subscribers and developers increases with the age of the OSS project. Finally, the impact of developers on subscribers and subscribers on developers is positive and significant. 相似文献
