At heavy load, critical conduction mode with valley switching (CCMVS) is employed to realize soft switching so as to reduce turn-on loss of power switch as well as conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI). At light load, the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with valley switching and adaptive off-time control (AOT) to limit the switching frequency range and maintain load regulation. At extremely light load or in standby mode, burst mode operation is adopted to provide low power consumption through reducing both switching frequency and static power dissipation of the controller. The multi-mode control is implemented by an oscillator whose pulse duration is adjusted by output feedback. An accurate valley switching control circuit guarantees the minimum turn-on voltage drop of power switch. The pro-totype of the controller IC was fabricated in a 1.5-μm BiCMOS process and applied to a 310 V/20 V, 90 W flyback DC/DC converter circuitry. Experimental results showed that all expected functions were realized successfully. The flyback converter achieved a high efficiency of over 80% from full load down to 2.5 W, with the maximum reaching 88.8%, while the total power consumption in standby mode was about 300 mW.展开更多

However, its potential role in hypertension and vascular function remains unclear. Methods : In vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs), we employed gain-and loss-offunction approaches combined with RNA sequencing, autophagy flux assessment, and phenotype characterization. Additionally, we established a mouse model with Sox6 overexpression via adeno-associated virus 2(AAV2) to validate the findings in vivo. Results : We validated the increased expression of SOX6 in hypertension both in vitro and in vivo. Genetic silencing of Sox6 in VSMCs attenuated the phenotypic switching induced by angiotensin Ⅱ. Conversely, in vivo overexpression of Sox6 led to a significant elevation in blood pressure and promoted vascular remodeling. Mechanistically, SOX6 was shown to regulate phenotypic switching via an autophagydependent pathway. Specifically, Sox6 overexpression augmented VSMC autophagy and facilitated phenotypic switching, whereas Sox6 knockdown yielded opposite outcomes. Modulation of autophagy using 3-MA or RAPA could effectively counteract the effect mediated by SOX6. Conclusions : Our findings revealed that SOX6 regulates VSMC plasticity and elevates blood pressure by activating autophagy. Therefore, SOX6 inhibition potentially represents a novel strategy for treating hypertension and vascular remodeling.展开更多

文摘To enable distributed PV to adapt to variations in power grid strength and achieve stable grid connection while enhancing operational flexibility,it is essential to configure grid-connected inverters with an integrated grid-following control mode,allowing smooth switching between GFL and GFM modes.First,impedance models of GFL and GFM PV energy storage VSG systems were established,and grid stability was analyzed.Second,an online impedance identification method based on voltage fluctuation data screening was proposed to enhance the accuracy of impedance identification.Additionally,a PV energy storage GFM/GFL VSG smooth switching method based on current inner loop compensation was introduced to achieve stable grid-connected operation of distributed photovoltaics under changes in strong and weak power grids.Finally,a grid stability analysis was conducted on the multi-machine parallel PV ESS,and a simulation model of a multi-machine parallel PV ESS based on current inner loop compensation was established for testing.Results showed that,compared to using a single GFM or single GFL control for the PV VSG system,the smooth switching method of multi-machine parallel PV ESS effectively suppresses system resonance under variations in power grid strength,enabling adaptive and stable grid-connected operations of distributed PV.

文摘This article investigates the time-varying output group formation tracking control(GFTC)problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems(HMASs)under switching topologies.The objective is to design a distributed control strategy that enables the outputs of the followers to form the desired sub-formations and track the outputs of the leader in each subgroup.Firstly,novel distributed observers are developed to estimate the states of the leaders under switching topologies.Then,GFTC protocols are designed based on the proposed observers.It is shown that with the distributed protocol,the GFTC problem for HMASs under switching topologies is solved if the average dwell time associated with the switching topologies is larger than a fixed threshold.Finally,an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘The thermal switch plays a crucial role in regulating system temperature,protecting devices from overheating,and improving energy efficiency.Achieving a high thermal switching ratio is essential for its practical application.In this study,by utilizing first-principles calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory,it is found that hole doping with an experimentally achievable concentration of 1.83×10^(14)cm^(-2)can reduce the lattice thermal conductivity of monolayer MoS_(2) from 151.79 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)to 12.19 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1),achieving a high thermal switching ratio of 12.5.The achieved switching ratio significantly surpasses previously reported values,including those achieved by extreme strain methods.This phenomenon mainly arises from the enhanced lattice anharmonicity,which is primarily contributed by the S atoms.These results indicate that hole doping is an effective method for tuning the lattice thermal conductivity of materials,and demonstrate that monolayer MoS_(2) is a potential candidate material for thermal switches.
文摘The event-triggered mechanism serves as an effective discontinuous control strategy for addressing the consensus tracking problem in multiagent systems(MASs).This approach optimizes energy consumption by updating the controller only when some observed errors exceed a predefined threshold.Considering the influence of noise on agent dynamics in complex control environments,this study investigates an event-triggered control scheme for stochastic MASs,where noise is modeled as Brownian motion.Furthermore,the communication topology of the stochastic MASs is assumed to exhibit a Markovian switching mechanism.Analytical criteria are derived to guarantee consensus tracking in the mean square sense,and a numerical example is provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods.

文摘The efficiency of energy conversion from mechanical to electrical in AC generators is not entirely optimal,as power losses are converted into heat.Accurate thermal modeling and temperature measurement of advanced electric machines with complex structures are mandatory to confirm their reliability and safe operation.In a unique axial transverse flux switching permanent magnet(ATFSPM)generator,due to its high power density,large stray loss from leakage flux,compact topology,and totally enclosed structure,thermal analysis is of paramount significance.In this paper,thermal modeling and analysis of ATFSPM are carried out in detail using a three-dimensional(3D)finite element analysis(FEA)to evaluate the thermal condition for a precise performance improvement.To begin,all loss sources are accurately derived using 3-D FEA and analytical methods,taking into account the temperature dependence of material properties,and then losses are coupled to the thermal model as heat sources.Afterward,aiming for realistic thermal modelling,the convection heat transfer in the different regions of internal and external areas as well as thin layers of interface gaps between components are all considered.In addition,the prototype of ATFSPM is supplied to validate the accuracy of 3-D FEA temperature prediction.Furthermore,a novel technique is carried out to effectively improve thermal performance,enhance the efficiency,and limit hot-spot temperatures.The steady-state and transient temperature results demonstrate the high accuracy of the thermal modeling,enhance the secure operation of the ATFSPM,and facilitate increased loading utilizing the proposed technique.(1)

文摘The forming processes of 4,40-dipyridyl-based single-molecule junctions and mechanically induced conductance switching as well as the side-group effects are systematically investigated by applying the ab initio-based adiabatic geometric optimization method and the one-dimensional transmission combined with three-dimensional correction approximation(OTCTCA)method.The numerical results show that for the 4,40-dipyridyl with a p-conjugated phenyl-phosphoryl or diphenylsilyl side group,the pyridyl vertically anchors on the second atomic layer of the pyramid-shaped Au tip electrode at small inter-electrode distances by laterally pushing the apical Au atom aside,which induces stronger pyridyl-electrode coupling and high-conductance state of the formed junctions.As the inter-electrode distance increases,the pyridyl shifts to the apical Au atom of the tip electrode.This apical Au atom introduces additional scatterings to the tunneling electrons and significantly decreases the conductance of the junctions.Furthermore,for the 4,40-dipyridyl with a phenyl-phosphoryl side group,the probability of manifesting the high-conductance state is decreased due to the oxygen atom reducing the probability of the pyridyl adsorbing on the second layer of Au tip electrode.In contrast,for the 4,40-dipyridyl with a nonconjugated cyclohexyl-phosphoryl side group,the steric hindrance from the bulky cyclohexyl group leads the molecule to preferentially form the O-Au contact,which prevents both the high conductance and mechanically induced conductance switching of the junction.Our results provide a theoretical understanding of the side-group effects on electronic transport properties of single-molecule junctions,offering an alternative explanation for the experimental observations.

文摘In order to enhance the safety of autonomous driving vehicles,this work focuses on the issue of automatic-to-manual mode transition in the column electric power steering(C-EPS)system.First,we utilized an extended state observer to estimate the driver's steering torque and designed a steering mode transition unit.Second,we validated the mode switching function through an experimental platform.The results indicated that when using the extended state observer for torque estimation,the steering wheel angle and lower input angle errors were approximately±0.5%.The input and observed torque curves were closely aligned,demonstrating excellent tracking capability of the system.In addition,by adopting a steering mode conversion unit,the switch from autonomous control to manual control has been obtained,achieving a smooth and minimal change in steering wheel angle without significant bumps.The experimental results demonstrate that the designed mode switching strategy has the advantages of speed and smoothness,and has strong practical value.

文摘Low-carbon smart parks achieve selfbalanced carbon emission and absorption through the cooperative scheduling of direct current(DC)-based distributed photovoltaic,energy storage units,and loads.Direct current power line communication(DC-PLC)enables real-time data transmission on DC power lines.With traffic adaptation,DC-PLC can be integrated with other complementary media such as 5G to reduce transmission delay and improve reliability.However,traffic adaptation for DC-PLC and 5G integration still faces the challenges such as coupling between traffic admission control and traffic partition,dimensionality curse,and the ignorance of extreme event occurrence.To address these challenges,we propose a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based delay sensitive and reliable traffic adaptation algorithm(DSRTA)to minimize the total queuing delay under the constraints of traffic admission control,queuing delay,and extreme events occurrence probability.DSRTA jointly optimizes traffic admission control and traffic partition,and enables learning-based intelligent traffic adaptation.The long-term constraints are incorporated into both state and bound of drift-pluspenalty to achieve delay awareness and enforce reliability guarantee.Simulation results show that DSRTA has lower queuing delay and more reliable quality of service(QoS)guarantee than other state-of-the-art algorithms.

文摘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)coupled with deep learning such as Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)have been widely applied across numerous domains,including agriculture,smart city monitoring,and fire rescue operations,owing to their malleability and versatility.However,the computation-intensive and latency-sensitive natures of CNNs present a formidable obstacle to their deployment on resource-constrained UAVs.Some early studies have explored a hybrid approach that dynamically switches between lightweight and complex models to balance accuracy and latency.However,they often overlook scenarios involving multiple concurrent CNN streams,where competition for resources between streams can substantially impact latency and overall system performance.In this paper,we first investigate the deployment of both lightweight and complex models for multiple CNN streams in UAV swarm.Specifically,we formulate an optimization problem to minimize the total latency across multiple CNN streams,under the constraints on UAV memory and the accuracy requirement of each stream.To address this problem,we propose an algorithm called Adaptive Model Switching of collaborative inference for MultiCNN streams(AMSM)to identify the inference strategy with a low latency.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed AMSM algorithm consistently achieves the lowest latency while meeting the accuracy requirements compared to benchmark algorithms.
