    摘要: Systems and methods for wideband RF interference detection and suppression include an open-circuit stub, a first voltage peak detector, a second voltage peak detector, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a controller. The open-circuit stub is configured to receive an input signal. The first voltage peak detector is coupled at the open end of the open-circuit stub and configured to output a first voltage signal based on a portion of the input signal. The second voltage peak detector is coupled a distance away from the open end of the open-circuit stub and configured to output a second voltage signal based on the portion of the input signal. The controller is configured to generate an output control signal operable to adjust a signal filter based on the first digital voltage signal and the second digital voltage signal to suppress the portion of the input signal.

    摘要: An estimation system includes a battery, an inverter, a motor, a U-phase current sensor, and an ECU. The inverter includes U-phase upper and lower arm circuits, V-phase upper and lower arm circuits, and W-phase upper and lower arm circuits. A mode of the inverter includes a first mode in which the U-phase upper arm circuit, the V-phase lower arm circuit, and the W-phase lower arm circuit are on and a second mode in which the U-phase lower arm circuit, the V-phase upper arm circuit, and the W-phase upper arm circuit are on. The ECU performs estimation processing for estimating a current value of the battery. The estimation processing includes first processing for estimating the current value in accordance with a detection value from the U-phase current sensor when the mode of the inverter is set to the first mode or the second mode.

    摘要: This application provides an electronic atomization apparatus and a control method. The electronic atomization apparatus includes: a liquid storage chamber; a vibrable element, configured to generate vibration to atomize a liquid substrate for generating an aerosol; and a peak voltage detection module, configured to detect a peak voltage at both terminals of the vibrable element; and a controller, configured to control vibration of the vibrable element based on the peak voltage. The foregoing electronic atomization apparatus may obtain liquid substrate supply and working parameters on the vibrable element by detecting a peak voltage at the both terminals of the vibrable element, to correspondingly adjust operation of the vibrable element to prevent the vibrable element from working when the liquid supply is inadequate or in a deviated state.

    摘要: A startup control method for a DC/DC converter is used for starting the DC/DC converter with energy transferred from a low-voltage side to a high-voltage side, and includes: acquiring a voltage spike measurement value of a power switch at the low-voltage side; determining a duty cycle or a frequency of a driving signal according to the voltage spike measurement value and a preset voltage; and outputting the driving signal to a power switch at the high-voltage side, thereby charging a clamping capacitor of the power switch at the low-voltage side. The startup control method for a DC/DC converter of the disclosure can improve a reverse charging power of the converter to the maximum extent and reduce the time needed for charging a bus capacitor during a reverse startup process while ensuring voltage stress on the power switch not to exceed a limit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus to detect breaks in tracks and/or detect the presence of a vehicle, such as a train, in a monitored section of the track or rail. Embodiments of the present invention measure the change in track inductance associated with a track or rail break. Electrical shunts are connected between the rails at spaced-apart intervals (for example a shunt can be placed every mile). At least two different frequencies of alternating current are generated and fed into the segments of rail (for example at or near a mid-point between the shunts). If a rail break occurs, the total inductance of the rail at that segment will change. Using two or more frequencies allows a rail break to be differentiated from environmental rail-to-rail and rail-to-earth leakage.
