In this paper, a new computational method is presented to estimate the pulse width through calculating the time interval between the breakdown voltage and the extinguishing voltage. The effects on the discharge characteristics of the applied voltage and exci- tation frequency are studied based on the computational data. The results of the simulation show that the pulse width is observed to be narrower and the time intervals between two consecutive current pulses decrease with increasing amplitude and excitation frequency, which indicates that the homogeneous discharge is susceptible to the filamentary mode. The simulation results support the conclusion that in order to restrain the transition from the glow mode to filamentary mode, the applied voltage and excitation frequency should be kept within an appropriate range.展开更多

To transfer all proteins uniformly with the same efficiency regardless of protein size, BlotMan employs pulse-width-modulated (PWM) voltage that applies a higher average voltage to a larger protein species. BlotMan can be controlled not only by its custom-made interface but also by a smart phone via Bluetooth technology. In this study, we examined effects of PWM signals (50%, 60%, and 80% duty cycle) on transfer efficiency and signal intensity in comparison to a constant voltage signal (100% duty cycle). The result revealed that in response to the same average voltage of 150 V, a lower duty cycle with a higher maximum voltage increased transfer efficiency as well as sharpness of transferred proteins. We validated BlotMan’s capability using a chondrosarcoma cell line (SW1353 cells) and a breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB231 cells) in response to antitumor chemical agents. BlotMan successfully generated 5 membranes from a single gel and detected 5 protein species such as c-Src, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2), phosphorylated eIF2, lamin B, and actin. Collectively, we demonstrated herein that BlotMan reduces an amount of protein samples by generating multiple membranes from a single gel and improving signal intensity with PWM voltage signals.展开更多

This paper proposes a new fast global synchronous discontinuous pulse width modulation(GSDPWM) method of threephase inverters to effectively attenuate the high frequency current harmonics at PCC. Firstly, the basic principle and the realization method of GSDPWM for three-phase inverters are explained, which can be employed for different modulation types. Then a fast calculation method,which can equally derive the minimized total harmonic distortion(THD) of total current, is proposed to release the calculation burden. Finally, MATLAB simulations and experimental results are presented to verify the performance of GSDPWM.展开更多

In combination with analysis to map PWM circuitry in the microchip dies, the typical SEE response waveforms for laser pulses located in different circuit blocks of UC1845 AJ are obtained and the SEE mechanisms are analyzed. The laser SEE test results show that there are some differences in the SEE mechanisms of different circuit blocks, and phase shifts or changes in the duty cycles of few output pulses are the main SEE behaviors for UC1845 AJ. In addition, a new SEE behavior which manifests as changes in the duty cycles of many output pulses is revealed. This means that an SEE hardened design should be considered.展开更多

In this study, we examined effects of PWM signals (50%, 60%, and 80% duty cycle) on transfer efficiency and signal intensity in comparison to a constant voltage signal (100% duty cycle). The result revealed that in response to the same average voltage of 150 V, a lower duty cycle with a higher maximum voltage increased transfer efficiency as well as sharpness of transferred proteins. We validated BlotMan’s capability using a chondrosarcoma cell line (SW1353 cells) and a breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB231 cells) in response to antitumor chemical agents. BlotMan successfully generated 5 membranes from a single gel and detected 5 protein species such as c-Src, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2), phosphorylated eIF2, lamin B, and actin. Collectively, we demonstrated herein that BlotMan reduces an amount of protein samples by generating multiple membranes from a single gel and improving signal intensity with PWM voltage signals.

文摘When multiple distributed converters are integrated, the high frequency harmonics will randomly accumulate at the point of common coupling(PCC). This paper proposes a new fast global synchronous discontinuous pulse width modulation(GSDPWM) method of threephase inverters to effectively attenuate the high frequency current harmonics at PCC. Firstly, the basic principle and the realization method of GSDPWM for three-phase inverters are explained, which can be employed for different modulation types. Then a fast calculation method,which can equally derive the minimized total harmonic distortion(THD) of total current, is proposed to release the calculation burden. Finally, MATLAB simulations and experimental results are presented to verify the performance of GSDPWM.

文摘This paper presents a theoretical study of the pulse-width effects on the damage process of a typical bipolar transistor caused by high power microwaves(HPMs) through the injection approach.The dependences of the microwave damage power,P,and the absorbed energy,E,required to cause the device failure on the pulse width τ are obtained in the nanosecond region by utilizing the curve fitting method.A comparison of the microwave pulse damage data and the existing dc pulse damage data for the same transistor is carried out.By means of a two-dimensional simulator,ISE-TCAD,the internal damage processes of the device caused by microwave voltage signals and dc pulse voltage signals are analyzed comparatively.The simulation results suggest that the temperature-rising positions of the device induced by the microwaves in the negative and positive half periods are different,while only one hot spot exists under the injection of dc pulses.The results demonstrate that the microwave damage power threshold and the absorbed energy must exceed the dc pulse power threshold and the absorbed energy,respectively.The dc pulse damage data may be useful as a lower bound for microwave pulse damage data.

文摘Objective:To evaluate the effect of the pulse width of electroacupuncture(EA)in the treatment of denervation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in rats and examine the role of insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3 K)/Akt signaling pathway during EA.Methods:Sciatic nerve functional index(SFI),muscle wet weight and the cross-sectional area(CSA)of the gastrocnemius muscle were analyzed after treatment in model rats with EA of various pulse widths(0.5,50,100 and 200 ms).The apoptosis index(AI)and paired box(PAX)3 and PAX7 protein expression were also determined.Further,the mRNA and protein expressions of components of IGF-1/PI3 K/Akt pathway and their downstream targets were determined,along with the inhibiting effect of the pathway with a PI3-specific inhibitor.Results:EA with a pulse width of 200 ms was found to have the best effect with regard to increasing SFI,CSA and muscle weight,decreasing AI,and increasing the expression of PAX3 and PAX7.The IGF-1/PI3 K/Akt pathway was found to be activated by denervation,although the downstream forkhead box O(FoxO)pathway was not suppressed by its activation.The PI3 K/Akt pathway and its downstream molecule mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)were up-regulated further by EA to promote muscle protein synthesis.Meanwhile,the expressions of downstream FoxO and F-box protein 32(ATROGIN-1)were down-regulated to reduce protein degradation.Conclusions:EA with 200-ms pulse width was found to have a more significant effect than 0.5-ms EA.The positive effects of EA disappeared after inhibition of the PI3 K/Akt pathway.

Based on the structural optimization design of a folded biconcave cavity using the 808 nm pulsed laser diode(LD) side-pumped ceramic Nd: YAG rod, output pulses with maximum pulse energy and peak power up to39.6 m J and 9.73 MW were obtained, corresponding to 100 Hz repetition rate and 4.07 ns pulse width. The instabilities of pulse width and pulse energy were ±1.55% and ±2.06%, respectively. At the highest repetition rate of 1 kHz, the pulse energy, pulse width, and peak power were 11.3 mJ, 5.05 ns, and 2.24 MW, respectively. The instabilities of pulse width and pulse energy were ±2.65% and ±3.47%, respectively.

文摘Using both acoustic-optic (AO) Q-switeh and GaAs saturable absorber, a diode-pumped doubly Q-switehed Nd:GdVO4/KTP green laser is realized. This laser can generate a shorter and more symmetric pulse in comparison with purely AO and passively Q-switched lasers. In the meantime, the rate equations describing the operation of a diode-pumped, AO and GaAs doubly Q-switched Nd:GdVO4/KTP green laser are introduced. These equations are solved numerically and the dependence of pulse width on incident pump power is obtained. The numerical solutions are in agreement with the experimental results.

文摘This paper proposes a dual-frequency discontinuous space vector pulse width modulation(DFDSVPWM)for a five-phase voltage source inverter with harmonic injection.In this modulation,for dual-frequency voltage output and reduction of switching losses,two different zero-vector-inserted modes are flexibly employed by alternatively using two types of zero vectors.Based on the comparison with continuous SVPWM,the idea and principle of the proposed DFDSVPWM are analyzed and an example of PWM signals for one bridge is also presented.For switching losses analysis,the impact factors and the calculation method are investigated and the corresponding implementation is given as well.The simulation and experimental results from a prototype verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed modulation and it has the advantages of outputting dual-frequency voltage and reducing switching losses.

文摘This paper presents single event effect(SEE) characteristics of UC1845 AJ pulse width modulators(PWMs) by laser testing. In combination with analysis to map PWM circuitry in the microchip dies, the typical SEE response waveforms for laser pulses located in different circuit blocks of UC1845 AJ are obtained and the SEE mechanisms are analyzed. The laser SEE test results show that there are some differences in the SEE mechanisms of different circuit blocks, and phase shifts or changes in the duty cycles of few output pulses are the main SEE behaviors for UC1845 AJ. In addition, a new SEE behavior which manifests as changes in the duty cycles of many output pulses is revealed. This means that an SEE hardened design should be considered.
