This study reviews the common-mode noise model of indirect-contact ECG measurement which uses capacitive electrode and capacitive ground, and shows the reason of the large common-mode noise in indirect-contact ECG. And then, this study shows driven-right-leg ground in indirect-contact ECG measurement, and reviews how the driven-right-leg ground reduces the common-mode noise. This study then analyzes the relation between the effective area of the indirect-contact ground and the gain of the driven-right-leg circuit. This study introduces the output voltage saturation of the driven-right-leg circuit, which occurs frequently in indirect-contact ECG measurement with the condition of the high ground impedance. This study then shows the effect of the driven-right-leg circuit saturation on the common-mode noise.

This study investigates the problem of leader-following consensus for multi-agent systems with output saturations. This study assumes that the agents are described as a neutrally stable system, and the leader agent generates the bounded trajectory within the saturation level. Then, the objective of the leader-following consensus is to track the trajectory of the leader by exchanging information with neighbors. To solve this problem, we propose an observer-based distributed consensus algorithm. Then, we provide a consensus analysis by applying the Lyapunov stability theorem and LaSalle's invariance principle. The result shows that the agents achieve the leader-following consensus in a global sense. Moreover, we can achieve the consensus by choosing any positive control gain. Finally, we perform a numerical simulation to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.

This study is on control gain estimation of energy dissipation control algorithms. Velocity feedback saturated, bang bang, and energy gain control algorithms are proposed based on the Lyapunov stability theory and their performances are evaluated and compared. Saturation problem is considered in the design of the velocity feedback saturated and energy-gain control algorithms, and chattering problem in bang bang control is solved by using boundary layer. Numerical results show that the proposed control algorithms can dissipate the structural energy induced by wind loads efficiently.

Compared with Si MOSFETs, the GaN FET has many advantages in a wide band gap, high saturation drift velocity, high critical breakdown field, etc. This paper compares the electrical properties of GaN FETs and Si MOSFETs. The soft-switching condition and power loss analysis in a flyback-forward high gain DC/DC converter with a GaN FET is presented in detail. In addition, a comparison between GaN diodes and Si diodes is made. Finally, a 200W GaN FET based flyback-forward high gain DC/DC converter is established, and experimental results verify that the GaN FET is superior to the Si MOSFET in terms of switching characteristics and efficiency. They also show that the GaN diode is better than the Si diode when it comes to reverse recovery characteristics.

Loop shaping $H_{\infty}$control with normalized coprime factorization was applied to a servo-motor driven high-speed powitioning system. The high-gain controller was designed to attenuate the postion errors caused byfriction effects and extermal disturbances. The non-existence of limit cycle was analyzed, though there is actuator saturation. The designed $H_{\infty}$control system was experimently tested in a rotary index table. Results showed its effectiveness to improve postion accuracy with out any compensation scheme for friction, and robustness to model perturbation and external disturbances.ces.

An overview of Silicon Carbide (SiC) Static Induction Transistor (SIT) development is presented. Basic conduction mechanisms are introduced and discussed, including ohmic, exponential, and space charge limited conduction (SCLC) mechanisms. Additionally, the impact of velocity saturation and temperature effects on SCLC are reviewed. The small-signal model, breakdown voltage, power density, and different gate structures are also discussed, before a final review of published SiC SIT results. Published S-band (3-4 GHz) results include 9.5 dB of gain and output power of 120 W, and L-band (1.3 GHz) results include 400 W output power, 7.7 dB of gain, and power density of 16.7 W/cm.

This paper presents the design of a broadband hybrid mixer using dual-gate FET topology with a low-pass filter which improves return loss of output to isolate RF and LO signal. The low-pass filter shows the isolation whose RF and LO signal is better than 40 dBc at 2 GHz and 5 GHz band. The dual-gate mixer which has been designed by using cascade topology operates when the lower FET is biased in linear region and the upper FET is in saturation. The input matching circuit has been designed to have conversion gain from 2 GHz to 6 GHz. The designed mixer with low-pass filter shows the conversion gain of better than 7 dB from 2 GHz to 6 GHz at a low LO power level of 0 dBm with the fixed IF frequency of 21.4 MHz.

The nonlinear, time dependent photon transport equations of Frantz and Nodvik, which describe the amplification of an optical pulse in an active medium, are modified to a simpler equation which describes only the amplification of energy. with this equation, the output energy of the high power YLF(Nd3+)-Phosphate Glass(Nd3+) Laser System is calculated. When the stored energy density Est is 0.10J/㎤, 0.16J/㎤, 0.228J/㎤, and 0.50J/㎤, and with the assumption of uniform population inversion density, the final output energy of this laser system is 5.38J, 176J, 317J, and 283J, respectively. The gain saturation causes distortion of the output beam. This phenomenon is described in detail at the first three rod amplifier systems in the case of E=0.228J/㎤. The peak current and decay time constant of the flashlamps, which are used to obtain population inversion in the active medium, are investigated. The flashlamp driving circuit which has optimum operational performance should have {{{{ SQRT { LC} }} time about 100$\mu$sec.

This article presents the RSOA-based re-modulation schemes for practical application to the WDM-PON link. Emphasis is put on the three methods for reducing the residual downstream signal in the upstream transmission; the simplest one is to use the RSOA gain-saturation property, the second uses selective filtering of the adiabatic-chirped DFB-LD output spectrum, and the last uses a dynamic RSOA gain control by varying its driving current according to the incident binary signal. The reflection sensitivity in the proposed re-modulation link is also qualitatively presented in the cases of using two different types of seed light: coherent light from DFB-LD array and spectrum-sliced incoherent ASE light. We show experimental results of an error-free bidirectional gigabit transmission over 20 km at -30 dB reflection with the spectrum-sliced ASE seed light.
