    The reverse recovery (RR) behavior of SiC MOSFET body diode is of great importance in power application, where these devices are used in a wide range of operating temperatures. The carrier lifetime in the drift region varies with temperature, and it heavily affects the tailoring of the RR current, opening reliability issues related to the RR voltage amplitude and to possible anomalous voltage oscillations during the recovery. From the users' point of view, it would be useful to have a simple technique able to give predictive information about the body diode RR behavior of commercial devices over the whole range of working temperatures. An experimental-simulation approach is presented in this paper to correlate the carrier lifetime measured by simple OCVD measurements versus temperature with the RR behavior of the body diode, that can be useful at the design stage of power converters. Simulations of the body diode reverse-recovery are performed for a wide range of carrier lifetimes. This allows to estimate the effect of changes of carrier lifetime with temperature on the body diode switching transients. Preliminary results obtained with a 1700 V/5A commercial MOSFET are shown

    Il lavoro di tesi si inserisce in un’attività di sviluppo di un banco prova automatizzato per l’esecuzione di vari tipi di test su accumulatori elettrochimici. Per motivi storici ed economici attualmente la maggior parte delle batterie al litio sono prodotte in paesi asiatici, ma da essi vengono importate anche in Europa per essere implementate in pacchi batteria con sistemi di controllo sviluppati in paesi dell’eurozona. Al fine di verificare e ottimizzare al meglio tali pacchi batteria si rendono necessarie ulteriori verifiche sulle celle importate, quindi la creazione di un banco prova nel quale sia possibile effettuare tali test risulta di fondamentale importanza. Il mio lavoro, descritto nella tesi, svoltosi presso il laboratorio LEMAD del dipartimento DEI, è stato quello di aggiungere e testare funzionalità più avanzate al banco prova e relativo algoritmo di controllo per il test di pacchi batteria. Nello specifico, nel capitolo 4, sarà descritta l’implementazione della gestione di un alimentatore controllato dal banco prova per permettere test su pacchi di capacità e potenze superiori a quelle che possono essere gestite con il sistema attuale. In più nel capitolo 5 sarà descritta la creazione di nuovi tipi di prove, effettuati in base alla carica scambiata con la batteria o cella in prova

    Familial Lassueur-Graham-Little-Piccardi syndrome

    Lassueur-Graham-Little-Piccardi syndrome (LGLPS) is a rare lichenoid dermatosis characterized by progressive cicatricial alopecia of the scalp, loss of pubic and axillary hairs and keratosis pilaris. The syndrome is considered a form of follicular lichen planus (LP). Although the familial occurrence of LP is a well-described phenomenon, no familial case of LGLPS has ever been reported. We describe the occurrence of LGLPS in a mother and her daughter. HLA typing revealed HLA-DR1 in both patients. Topical tacrolimus was of partial benefit in the daughter. Copyright © 2004 S.
