Stretchable Self-Healing Polymeric Dielectrics Cross-Linked Through Metal–Ligand Coordination

Abstract: A self-healing dielectric elastomer is achieved by the incorporation of metal–ligand coordination as cross-linking sites in nonpolar polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers. The ligand is 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylic amide, while the metal salts investigated here are Fe2+ and Zn2+ with various counteranions. The kinetically labile coordination between Zn2+ and bipyridine endows the polymer fast self-healing ability at ambient condition. When integrated into organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) as gate dielectrics, transistors with FeCl2 and ZnCl2 salts cross-linked PDMS exhibited increased dielectric constants compared to PDMS and demonstrated hysteresis-free transfer characteristics, owing to the low ion conductivity in PDMS and the strong columbic interaction between metal cations and the small Cl– anions which can prevent mobile anions drifting under gate bias. Fully stretchable transistors with FeCl2-PDMS dielectrics were fabricated and exhibited ideal transfer characteristics. The gate leakage ...

Control of circulating current in two parallel three-phase boost rectifiers

Abstract: One unique feature in parallel three-phase converters is a potential zero-sequence circulating current. To avoid the circulating current, most present technology uses an isolation approach, such as transformers or separate power supplies. This paper proposes a parallel system where individual converters connect both AC and DC sides directly without additional passive components to reduce size and cost of the overall parallel system. In this case, the control of the circulating current becomes an important objective in the converter design. This paper: (1) develops an averaged model of the parallel converters based on a phase-leg averaging technique; (2) a zero-sequence model is then developed to predict the dynamics of the zero-sequence current; (3) based on the zero-sequence model, this paper introduces a new control variable, which is associated with space-vector modulation; (4) a strong zero-sequence current control loop is designed to suppress the circulating current; and (5) simulation and experimental results validate the developed model and the proposed control scheme.

Sample Adaptive Offset in the HEVC Standard

Abstract: This paper provides a technical overview of a newly added in-loop filtering technique, sample adaptive offset (SAO), in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) The key idea of SAO is to reduce sample distortion by first classifying reconstructed samples into different categories, obtaining an offset for each category, and then adding the offset to each sample of the category The offset of each category is properly calculated at the encoder and explicitly signaled to the decoder for reducing sample distortion effectively, while the classification of each sample is performed at both the encoder and the decoder for saving side information significantly To achieve low latency of only one coding tree unit (CTU), a CTU-based syntax design is specified to adapt SAO parameters for each CTU A CTU-based optimization algorithm can be used to derive SAO parameters of each CTU, and the SAO parameters of the CTU are inter leaved into the slice data It is reported that SAO achieves on average 35% BD-rate reduction and up to 235% BD-rate reduction with less than 1% encoding time increase and about 25% decoding time increase under common test conditions of HEVC reference software version 80
