    摘要: A power converter (1) is provided. The power converter (1) includes first to fourth switches (SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4) electrically connected in series, a flying capacitor (Cf) and a controller (11). Positive and negative terminals of the flying capacitor (Cf) are electrically connected to the second and third switches (SW2, SW3) respectively. The controller (11) operates the first and fourth switches (SW1, SW4) to perform a first complementary switching with a first dead time, and operates the second and third switches (SW2, SW3) to perform a second complementary switching with a second dead time. The controller (11) determines to regulate the first or second dead time by detecting a capacitor voltage (Vf) of the flying capacitor (Cf), such that the capacitor voltage (Vf) of the flying capacitor (Cf) is maintained within a balance voltage range.

    摘要: A method for gating in tomographic imaging system includes steps of: (a) performing a tomographic imaging on an object with a target moving periodically along a first axis (s) for acquiring projection images (Pθts); (b) obtaining projected curves (Cθts) by summing up pixel values along a direction of a second axis (t) perpendicular to the first axis (s) in each projection image (Pθts); (c) determining a target zone on the projection images (Pθts), wherein a central position on the first axis (s) of the target zone is corresponding to a position having the largest variation in the projected curves (Cθts) on the first axis (s); (d) calculating parameter values of pixel values in the target zones and obtaining a curve of a moving cycle of the target according to the parameter values; and (e) selecting the projection images (Pθts) under the same state in the moving cycle for image reconstruction according to the curve of the moving cycle of the target.

    摘要: FCML rectifiers and control methods thereof are provided. The FCML rectifier operates with an input voltage (vin) and includes an inductor (L), a plurality of upper switches (S1, S2, S3 ..., SN), and a plurality of lower switches (S1, S2, S3..., SN). The upper and lower switches are electrically connected in series. The inductor (L) is coupled between the input voltage (vin) and a midpoint between the upper switches (S1, S2, S3 ..., SN) and the lower switches (S1, S2, S3..., SN). During critical transition points, at least one of first and second modulation schemes is performed. In the first modulation scheme, any rising edge of the control signal of any one lower switch (S1, S2, S3..., SN) is controlled to be synchronous with a rising edge of the control signal of at least one another lower switch (S1, S2, S3..., SN) for achieving ZVS. In the second modulation scheme, a phase-shift (Ø) of the control signals and a switching frequency (fs) are controlled to achieve ZVS with minimum conduction loss.
