In an initial test, this circuit was able to efficiently convert AC currents into DC signals at liquid helium temperatures (e.g., those attained using closed-cycle refrigeration techniques).

Wound-rotor synchronous generators (WRSGs) are the main structures used in aircraft power systems. As a key component of WRSGs for realizing brushless commutation, rotary rectifiers (RRs) directly ...

Article 210 provides the general requirements for branch circuits not over 1,000VAC or 1,500VDC. These include requirements for conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, identification, GFCI and AFCI ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) includes eight main dipole circuits, each containing 154 superconducting magnets. We are carrying out simulations of the electromagnetic thermal behavior of these ...

Caption Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of two superconducting flux qubit circuits. The conventional qubit (a) requires an external magnetic field to operate optimally, while the new flux qubit (b ...

This is called an 'open' circuit, because the loop from one battery terminal to the other is no longer closed. In this picture, a 10 cent coin is acting as a switch to 'close' the circuit so that ...

This causes Diodes D1 and D6 forward bias and Diodes D2 and D5 reverse bias. The Diodes D2 and D5 act as open-circuit. The Diodes D1 and D6 form a series connection with RL and start conducting. The ...

The Ideal Diode To reduce this power dissipation, Linear Technology has developed ideal diode controller devices such as the LTC4357. This controller has an input pin (anode), an output pin (cathode), ...
