Design and modelling of thermoformed displays for smart contact lenses

This paper explores the challenges regarding the thermoforming of a deformable guest-host liquid crystal display within a smart contact lens. Focus was given to the finite element modelling of its thermoforming, to find respective design rules. Such displays are thought to be used in vision correction applications (i.e. artificial iris)

A biocompatible active artificial iris

A contact lens mimicking an artificial iris is presented as solution for people suffering from iris deficiencies. As this is a biomedical device, biocompatibility is a key specification for material choice and design. The presented research focusses on oxygen permeability of the lens, as the eye depends on oxygen from the environment for functioning

Thermal Impact Analysis of Circulating Current in High Power Modular Online Uninterruptible Power Supplies Application

In modular uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), several DC/AC modules are required to work in parallel. This structure allows the system to be more reliable and flexible. These DC/AC modules share the same DC bus and AC critical bus. Module differences, such as filter inductor, filter capacitor, control parameters, and so on, will make it possible for the potential zero sequence current to flow among the modules. This undesired type of circulating current will bring extra losses to the power semiconductor devices in the system, which should be paid special attention in high power application scenarios. In this paper, plug’n’play modules and cycle control are discussed and validated through experimental results. Moreover, potential zero sequence circulating current impact on power semiconductor devices thermal performance is also analyzed in this paper
