A supercapacitor based enhancement technique for stand-alone surge protection circuits
(IEEE, 2013)With the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors predicting below-25nm feature-size VLSIs, powered by DC power supplies of less than 1V, protection against transients has become mandatory for modern electronic ... -
Analysis and design aspects of a series power semiconductor array with digital waveform control capability for single phase ac voltage regulators and other applications
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011)A series connected power semiconductor array, with digital control capability could be used for developing single phase AC regulators or other applications such as AC electronic loads. This technique together with an ... -
Design approaches to supercapacitor based surge resistant UPS techniques
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers., 2011)Time constants of supercapacitors are in the range of 100mS to tens of seconds compared to the time durations of power line transients, which are usually within a few hundred microseconds. Therefore supercapacitors should ... -
Design enhancements of the smart sediment particle for riverbed transport monitoring
(2009)This paper discusses new enhancements that are being made to the existing ‘Smart Sediment Particle’. The smart sediment particle has been designed and implemented to track its own 3-dimensional trajectory when placed in a ... -
Developing a monitoring system for Toyota Prius battery-packs for longer term performance issues
(IEEE, 2013)The Toyota Prius battery pack consists of 38 individual battery blades, each blade contains 6 NiMH cells in series. This means that each pack contains 228 NiMH cells. Given this number of individually manufactured cells ...
