Abstract:
This invention relates to a pulse generator circuit for delivering a short high current pulse to a load. This pulse generator comprises a junction recovery diode, a switch, a first resonant circuit and a second resonant circuit. The diode may be configured to store charges in its depletion layer when there is a forward flow of a current and to rapidly switch open after the depletion layer is discharged by a reverse flow of a current. After the diode rapidly switch opens, the pulse generator may provide a reverse current to the load. This pulse generator may be configured to generate at least one pulse that is having a length of no more than 100 nanoseconds at the full-width-at-half-maximum and an amplitude of at least 1 kilovolt. Electrodes may be connected to the pulse generator to deliver one pulse or plurality of pulses to biological cells such as tumor cells.

Abstract:
A backflow preventing device includes a backflow preventing element 5 that is connected between a power supply 1 and a load 9 and that prevents electric current from flowing backward from the load 9 side toward the power supply 1 side, a commutating device 7 that performs a commutation operation for causing the electric current to flow to a commutation path connected in parallel with the backflow preventing element 5, and a controller 100 that sets a time for performing the commutation operation and causes the commutating device 7 to perform the commutation operation based on the set time. The backflow preventing device has a plurality of the commutation paths and has, for example, elements with small current-carrying capacities disposed in the commutation paths to achieve cost reduction and to cope with, for example, failures, thereby allowing for enhanced reliability for reducing recovery electric current.
