In remote measurement systems, the lead wire resistance of the resistance sensor will produce a large measurement error. In order to ensure the accuracy of remote measurement, a novel lead-wire-resistance compensation technique is proposed, which is...
This study investigated the reliability of Zener diodes subjected to a gradually increasing DC switching surge amplitude with delay internals between surges to avoid thermal degradation from different manufacturers with similar specifications. The an...
Voltage standards are widely used to transfer volts from Josephson voltage standards (JVSs) at national metrology institutes (NMIs) into calibration labs to maintain the volts and to transfer them to test equipment at production lines. Therefore, com...
The development of “portable, low cost and low consumption” gas microsensors is one of the strong needs for embedded portable devices in many fields such as public domain. In this paper, a new approach is presented on making, on the same chip, a netw...
In scientific cabled seafloor observatories, branching units and optical repeaters are essential backbone devices, in which zener diodes are commonly used in their power supply circuits. However, the low efficiency of zener-diode-based power feeding...
This paper aims to demonstrate the energy efficiency improvements in a boost converter using supercapacitors and the Perturb and Observe (PO) control method, particularly in the context of photovoltaic (PV) systems under partial shading conditions. S...
Autoencoders are neural networks that have applications in denoising processes. Their use is widely reported in imaging (2D), though 1D series can also benefit from this function. Here, three canonical waveforms are used to train a neural network and...
This paper presents a comparative simulation study of the operation of various types of drivers dedicated for use in light-emitting diode (LED)-based light stripes. The study comprises an experimentally verified simulation in view of their influence...
This paper is an investigation into the high inrush current effect that emerges during the energizing of drivers of different circuit types loaded by light-emitting-diode (LED) strips. Two different driver circuit types were analyzed—a voltage...
A compact back-end interface for silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) implementing Zener diode-based temperature compensation has been developed for the remote detection of beta and gamma radiation. Remote detection is facilitated by the development of a...
There are complex physical phenomena for the interpretation of a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) in a distribution system. Most of the studies of MCCB interruption phenomena were conducted with numerical analysis and experiments. This traditional...
Two-dimensional (2D) n-MoS2 nanosheets (NSs) synthesized via the sol–gel method were deposited onto p-type heavily boron-doped diamond (BDD) film to form a n-MoS2/p-degenerated BDD (DBDD) heterojunction device. The PL emission results for the h...
In order to solve the problems of traditional high-voltage power supply ignition protection circuits, such as non-essential start–stop power supply, a slow response speed, the system needing to be restarted manually, and so on, a high-voltage p...
Hands-on activities are one of the characteristics of vocational learning. Learners will be triggered to activate their cognitive and psychomotor aspects with hands-on activities. These activities involve training sets to support students in understa...
An optical sensor employing tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy with wavelength modulation and 2f harmonic detection was designed, prototyped, and tested for applications in quantifying methane emissions from vent sources in the oil and gas s...
