This is mainly due to its simple structure, high reliability and reduced k VA ratings. Indeed, the ATRU has become a preferred AC/DC solution to supply power to the electric environment control system on-board future aircraft. In this paper, a general modelling method for ATRUs is introduced. The developed model is based on the fact that the DC voltage and current are strongly related to the voltage and current vectors at the AC terminals of ATRUs. In this paper, we carry on our research in modelling symmetric 18-pulse ATRUs and develop a generic modelling technique. The developed generic model can study not only symmetric but also asymmetric ATRUs. An 18-pulse asymmetric ATRU is used to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the developed model by comparing with corresponding detailed switching SABER models provided by our industrial partner. The functional models also allow accelerated and accurate simulations and thus enable whole-scale more-electric aircraft electrical power system studies in the future.展开更多

Linearly variable ring spacings for the FLR termination are applied to improve the blocking voltage by reducing the peak surface electric field at the edge termination region, which acts like a variable lateral doping profile resulting in a gradual field distribution. The experimental results demonstrate a breakdown voltage of 5 kV at the reverse leakage current density of 2 mA/cm2 （about 80% of the theoretical value）. Detailed numerical simulations show that the proposed termination structure provides a uniform electric field profile compared to the conventional FLR termi- nation, which is responsible for 45% improvement in the reverse blocking voltage despite a 3.7% longer total termination length.展开更多

Time-dependent delayed rectifier K+ outward currents were measured in isolated guinea pig single myocytes using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Currents were measured in response to 300 ms depolarizing pulses from a holding potential of -40 mV in three experimental protocols [control, isoproterenol (10^(9)mol/L - 10^(-6) mol/L ), and isoproterenol (10^(-9)mol/L - 10^(-6)mol/L ) plus either d, l-Sotalol (10^(-4) mol/L) or d-Sotalol (10^(-4) mol/L)]. IK tail currents were measured upon repolarization to -40 mV. It was found that Ik was significantly amplified in the presence. of isoproterenol (10^(-9) mol/L- 10^(-6) mol/L) plus d-Sotalol. At 10-8 mol/L isoproterenol, Ik was increased by 92. 7%±17. 1 % (P<0. 05) and 54. 3 %±13. 4 % after d-Sotalol addition (P<0. 05). In contrast, d, l-Sotalol completely conteracted the increase of iK by isoproterenol (<10^(-8) mol/L), and compared to control, Ic was decreased by 35. 6 % ±8. 1% at 10^(-8) mol/L isoproterenol plus d, l-Sotalol (P<0. 05). It is concluded that the β-adrenergic blocking property of d, l-Sotalol but not that of dSotalol maintains the delayed rectifier K+ outward current blockade in the presence of isoproterenol in guinea pig myocytes. This might contribute to a superior antiarrhythmic efficacy as compared to d-Sotalol.展开更多

The structure is characterized by the P-type layer formed in the n-type drift layer by epitaxial overgrowth process. The electric field and potential distribution are changed due to the buried P-layer, resulting in a high breakdown voltage （BV） and low specific on-resistance （Ron,sp）. The influences of device parameters, such as the depth of the embedded P＋ regions, the space between them and the doping concentration of the drift region, etc., on BV and Ron,sp are investigated by simulations, which provides a particularly useful guideline for the optimal design of the device. The results indicate that BV is increased by 48.5% and Baliga＇s figure of merit （BFOM） is increased by 67.9% compared to a conventional 4H-SiC JBSR.展开更多

The detailed analysis of the physical mechanism is used to provide predictions as the DTSCR-based protection scheme is required. In addition, a method is also presented to achieve the tradeoff between the leakage and trigger voltage in DTSCR.展开更多

Papaveraceae and has proved to be an- ti-arrhythmic. The purpose of our study is to investigate the effects of ALL on transmural repolarizing ionic ingredients of outward potassium current （Ito） and slow delayed rectifier potassium current （IKs）. Methods The monophasic action potential （MAP） technique was used to record the MAP duration of the epicardium （Epi）, myocardium （M） and endocardium （Endo） of the rabbit heart and the whole cell patch clamp was used to record/to and IKs in cardiomyocytes of Epi, M and Endo layers that were isolated from rabbit ventricles. Results The effects of ALL on MAP of Epi, M and Endo layers were disequilibrium. ALL could effectively reduce the transmural dispersion of repolarization （TDR） in rabbit transmural ventricular wall. ALL decreased the current densities of/to and IKs in a voltage and concentration dependent way and narrowed the repolarizing differences among three layers. The analysis of gating kinetics showed ALL accelerated the channel activation ofIto in M layers and partly inhibit the channel openings of/to in Epi, M and Endo cells. On the other hand, ALL mainly slowed channel deactivation of IKs channel in Epi and Endo layers without affecting its activation. Conclusions Our study gives partially explanation about the mechanisms of tmnsmural inhibition of/to and IKs channels by ALL in rabbit myocardium. These findings provide novel perspective regarding the anti-arrhythmogenesis application of ALL in clinical settings.展开更多

文摘The Vienna rectifier with unbalanced input voltage and load transient is analyzed.A nonlinear control strategy for Vienna rectifier under unbalanced input is proposed.From the view of positive and negative sequence components,the proposed nonlinear control strategy suppresses the twice frequency ripple and guarantees the dynamic response characteristic at the same time.Thanks to the proposed nonlinear control strategy,the DC bus capacitor can be reduced a lot since the voltage ripple and drop can be suppressed.A 10 kW Vienna rectifier is built to verify the proposed control strategy.After applying the proposed nonlinear control strategy,the voltage ripple is only7 V and decreases over 75%over the traditional PI control when the unbalanced degree is 20%.The voltage drop can be reduced about 80%than former control strategy which is helpful to reduce the DC bus capacitor and achieve higher power density.The volume of the capacitor can be reduced by 83.3%with the new control method.

文摘The effect of the mesa configuration on the reverse breakdown characteristic of a SiC PiN rectifier for high-voltage applications is analyzed in this study.Three geometrical parameters,i.e.,mesa height,mesa angle and mesa bottom corner,are investigated by numerical simulation.The simulation results show that a deep mesa height,a small mesa angle and a smooth mesa bottom（without sub-trench） could contribute to a high breakdown voltage due to a smooth and uniform surface electric field distribution.Moreover,an optimized mesa structure without sub-trench（mesa height of 2.2 μm and mesa angle of 20°） is experimentally demonstrated.A maximum reverse blocking voltage of 4 kV and a forward voltage drop of 3.7 V at 100 A/cm^2 are obtained from the fabricated diode with a 30-μm thick N^- epi-layer,corresponding to 85% of the ideal parallel-plane value.The blocking characteristic as a function of the JTE dose is also discussed for the PiN rectifiers with and without interface charge.
文摘The aim of this study was to compare the effects of d, l-Sotalol and dSotalol on the delayed rectifier K+ outward current in the presence of isoproterenol at different concentrations. Time-dependent delayed rectifier K+ outward currents were measured in isolated guinea pig single myocytes using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Currents were measured in response to 300 ms depolarizing pulses from a holding potential of -40 mV in three experimental protocols [control, isoproterenol (10^(9)mol/L - 10^(-6) mol/L ), and isoproterenol (10^(-9)mol/L - 10^(-6)mol/L ) plus either d, l-Sotalol (10^(-4) mol/L) or d-Sotalol (10^(-4) mol/L)]. IK tail currents were measured upon repolarization to -40 mV. It was found that Ik was significantly amplified in the presence. of isoproterenol (10^(-9) mol/L- 10^(-6) mol/L) plus d-Sotalol. At 10-8 mol/L isoproterenol, Ik was increased by 92. 7%±17. 1 % (P<0. 05) and 54. 3 %±13. 4 % after d-Sotalol addition (P<0. 05). In contrast, d, l-Sotalol completely conteracted the increase of iK by isoproterenol (<10^(-8) mol/L), and compared to control, Ic was decreased by 35. 6 % ±8. 1% at 10^(-8) mol/L isoproterenol plus d, l-Sotalol (P<0. 05). It is concluded that the β-adrenergic blocking property of d, l-Sotalol but not that of dSotalol maintains the delayed rectifier K+ outward current blockade in the presence of isoproterenol in guinea pig myocytes. This might contribute to a superior antiarrhythmic efficacy as compared to d-Sotalol.

文摘This paper proposes a double epi-layers 4H-SiC junction barrier Schottky rectifier （JBSR） with embedded P layer （EPL） in the drift region. The structure is characterized by the P-type layer formed in the n-type drift layer by epitaxial overgrowth process. The electric field and potential distribution are changed due to the buried P-layer, resulting in a high breakdown voltage （BV） and low specific on-resistance （Ron,sp）. The influences of device parameters, such as the depth of the embedded P＋ regions, the space between them and the doping concentration of the drift region, etc., on BV and Ron,sp are investigated by simulations, which provides a particularly useful guideline for the optimal design of the device. The results indicate that BV is increased by 48.5% and Baliga＇s figure of merit （BFOM） is increased by 67.9% compared to a conventional 4H-SiC JBSR.

文摘The comprehensive understanding of the structure-dependent electrostatic discharge behaviors in a conventional diode-triggered silicon controlled rectifier （DTSCR） is presented in this paper. Combined with the device simulation, a mathematical model is built to get a more in-depth insight into this phenomenon. The theoretical studies are verified by the transmission-line-pulsing （TLP） test results of the modified DTSCR structure, which is realized in a 65-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor （CMOS） process. The detailed analysis of the physical mechanism is used to provide predictions as the DTSCR-based protection scheme is required. In addition, a method is also presented to achieve the tradeoff between the leakage and trigger voltage in DTSCR.
文摘Objective Allocryptopine （ALL） is an effective alkaloid of Corydalis decumbens （Thunb.） Pers. Papaveraceae and has proved to be an- ti-arrhythmic. The purpose of our study is to investigate the effects of ALL on transmural repolarizing ionic ingredients of outward potassium current （Ito） and slow delayed rectifier potassium current （IKs）. Methods The monophasic action potential （MAP） technique was used to record the MAP duration of the epicardium （Epi）, myocardium （M） and endocardium （Endo） of the rabbit heart and the whole cell patch clamp was used to record/to and IKs in cardiomyocytes of Epi, M and Endo layers that were isolated from rabbit ventricles. Results The effects of ALL on MAP of Epi, M and Endo layers were disequilibrium. ALL could effectively reduce the transmural dispersion of repolarization （TDR） in rabbit transmural ventricular wall. ALL decreased the current densities of/to and IKs in a voltage and concentration dependent way and narrowed the repolarizing differences among three layers. The analysis of gating kinetics showed ALL accelerated the channel activation ofIto in M layers and partly inhibit the channel openings of/to in Epi, M and Endo cells. On the other hand, ALL mainly slowed channel deactivation of IKs channel in Epi and Endo layers without affecting its activation. Conclusions Our study gives partially explanation about the mechanisms of tmnsmural inhibition of/to and IKs channels by ALL in rabbit myocardium. These findings provide novel perspective regarding the anti-arrhythmogenesis application of ALL in clinical settings.
