• Digital closed-loop control strategy to maintain the phase shift for a multi-channel BCM boost converter for PFC applications 

  Ryan, Robert T.; Morrison, Richard; Hogan, Diarmuid; Hayes, John G. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-10-10)

  This paper presents a novel closed-loop digital control scheme to maintain proper interleaving operation of a multi-channel boundary-conduction-mode (BCM) boost converter used in power-factor-correction (PFC) applications. ...
• Accuracy modeling and analysis for a lock-or-release mechanism of the Chinese Space Station Microgravity Platform 

  Ding, Jian; Liu, Jinguo; Zhang, Rongpeng; Zhang, Lu; Hao, Guangbo (Elsevier Ltd., 2018-09-20)

  With development of Chinese space science and technology, plenty of microgravity experiments will be conducted in the Chinese Space Station to be built, and therefore demand for high-precision electromechanical equipment ...
• Extreme value estimates using vibration energy harvesting 

  Vathakkattil Joseph, George; Hao, Guangbo; Pakrashi, Vikram (Elsevier Ltd, 2018-09-11)

  This paper establishes the possibility of utilizing energy harvesting from mechanical vibrations to estimate extreme value responses of the host structure and demonstrates the calibration of these estimates for excitation ...
• Electrostatic built-in fields in wurtzite III-N nanostructures: impact of growth plane on second-order piezoelectricity 

  Patra, Saroj K.; Schulz, Stefan (American Physical Society, 2017)

  In this work we present a detailed analysis of the second-order piezoelectric effect in wurtzite III-N heterostructures, such as quantum wells and quantum dots, grown on different substrate orientations. Our analysis is ...
• Coupling between mean blood pressure and EEG in preterm neonates is associated with reduced illness severity scores 

  Semenova, Oksana; Lightbody, Gordon; O'Toole, John M.; Boylan, Geraldine; Dempsey, Eugene; Temko, Andriy (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)

  Hypotension or low blood pressure (BP) is a common problem in preterm neonates and has been associated with adverse short and long-term neurological outcomes. Deciding when and whether to treat hypotension relies on an ...
