ASDTIC control and standardized interface circuits applied to buck, parallel and buck-boost dc to dc power converters
Versatile standardized pulse modulation nondissipatively regulated control signal processing circuits were applied to three most commonly used dc to dc power converter configurations: (1) the series switching buck-regulator, (2) the pulse modulated parallel inverter, and (3) the buck-boost converter. The unique control concept and the commonality of control functions for all switching regulators have resulted in improved static and dynamic performance and control circuit standardization. New power-circuit technology was also applied to enhance reliability and to achieve optimum weight and efficiency
The application of the analog signal to discrete time interval converter to the signal conditioner power supplies
The Analog Signal to Discrete Time Interval Converter microminiaturized module was utilized to control the signal conditioner power supplies. The multi-loop control provides outstanding static and dynamic performance characteristics, exceeding those generally associated with single-loop regulators. Eight converter boards, each containing three independent dc to dc converter, were built, tested, and delivered
Which hadronic decay modes are good for searching: double or something else?
It has been controversial whether can be discovered in Tevatron Run
2 through the decay followed by . We clear this controversy by an explicit calculation which
predicts to be of order . It is
concluded that observing eta_b through this decay mode in Tevatron Run 2 is
rather unrealistic. The eta_b may be observed in the forthcoming LHC
experiments through the 4-lepton channel, if the background events can be
significantly reduced by imposing some kinematical cuts. By some rough but
plausible considerations, we find that the analogous decay processes eta_b to
VV, D^*\bar{D}^* also have very suppressed branching ratios, nevertheless it
may be worth looking for \eta_b at LHC and Super B factory through the decay
modes \eta_b \to K_S K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}, D^*\bar{D}.Comment: v2; 28 pages, 2 figures. References added, presentation improved.

Zero-bias anomalies in electrochemically fabricated nanojunctions
A streamlined technique for the electrochemical fabrication of metal
nanojunctions (MNJs) between lithographically defined electrodes is presented.
The first low-temperature transport measurements in such structures reveal
suppression of the conductance near zero-bias. The size of the zero-bias
anomaly (ZBA) depends strongly on the fabrication electrochemistry and the
dimensions of the resulting MNJ. We present evidence that the nonperturbative
ZBA in atomic-scale junctions is due to a density of states suppression in the
leads.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
8-band k·p modelling of mid-infrared intersubband absorption in Ge quantum wells
The 8-band k·p parameters which include the direct band coupling between the conduction and the valence bands are derived and used to model optical intersubband transitions in Ge quantum well heterostructure material grown on Si substrates. Whilst for Si rich quantum wells the coupling between the conduction bands and valence bands is not important for accurate modelling, the present work demonstrates that the inclusion of such coupling is essential to accurately determine intersubband transitions between hole states in Ge and Ge-rich Si1− x Ge x quantum wells. This is due to the direct bandgap being far smaller in energy in Ge compared to Si. Compositional bowing parameters for a range of the key modelling input parameters required for Ge/SiGe heterostructures, including the Kane matrix elements, the effective mass of the Γ2'Γ2′ conduction band, and the Dresselhaus parameters for both 6- and 8-band k·p modelling, have been determined. These have been used to understand valence band intersubband transitions in a range of Ge quantum well intersubband photodetector devices in the mid-infrared wavelength range
