Abstract

A non-intrusive, in-situ power method for measuring the loss associated with magnetic components (for example, an inductor) of a power converter is provided. The method involves first capturing a first set of voltage and current waveforms from the power converter. An additional capacitor is then connected to the power converter and a second set of voltage and current waveforms are captured. Based on the first set of waveforms and the second set of waveforms, a timing skew between the current and voltage waveforms captured from the power converter may be determined. This timing skew may then be used to determine the loss of the inductor. The loss may be used to design an optimized power converter.

Abstract

In accordance with the purpose(s) of the present disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein is versatile polyene cyclization strategy that exploits conjugated β-ionyl derivatives. Photomediated disruption of the extended π-system within these chromophores unveils a contra-thermodynamic polyene that engages in a Heck-type cyclization to afford [4.4.1]-propellanes. The connectivity of overbred polycycles generated from this process is controlled by the position of the requisite C-Halide bond. Thus, compared to conventional biomimetic polyene cyclization, this approach allows for complete control of regiochemistry and facilitates incorporation of both electron-rich and electron-deficient (hetero)aryl groups. This strategy was successfully applied to the total synthesis of abietanes such as, for example, taxodione and salviasperanol, two isomeric abietane-type diterpenes that previously could not be prepared along the same synthetic pathway.

Abstract

A novel wireless technology, referred to as ZChirp, is proposed. ZChirp is based on the chirp modulation that has been used in the past, but with the key distinction of multiplying the chirp with a binary sequence called the Z sequence, which serves dual purposes. First, chirps multiplied with different Z sequences have very low cross-correlations, which significantly reduces demodulation errors due to interference and allows for multiple access. Second, a node can double the communication speed by multiplying different Z sequences depending on the data. Real-world experiments prove that multiplying the chirp with the Z sequence does not increase bandwidth usage or reduce the communication range. The Z sequences have been designed to reduce the interference and the computation complexity.
