Current Limiting in Overload Conditions of an LLC-Converter-Based DC Transformer
The dc transformers based on an LLC converter operated in open loop near resonant frequency have several crucial advantages compared to other topologies. These advantages are the stiff voltage ratio with a natural power flow, the dc grid isolation via medi ...
2021Quasi-Rayleigh model for modeling hysteresis of piezoelectric actuators
Piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) have been widely used in nano-positioning applications for their high resolution of displacement. However, hysteresis, which is an inherent property of ferroelectric PEAs has been shown to significantly degrade the system per ...
2020Performance of Piezoelectric MEMS Microphones
This semester project deals with the study of at fully clamped plates with various geome- tries (circular and square), piezoelectric properties and uniformly distributed load (normal to the surface). The stress distribution is analyzed in order to obtain a ...
2018Acoustic emission source detection and wave generation on a working plate using piezoelectric actuators
In modern automated assembly lines, part feeders play an important role to separate and sort parts. Agility and flexibility are required to achieve a good yield for different types of parts. The common working principle is to vibrate a working plate driven ...
EPFL2017Sensing Tip with Electrical Impedance Sensor
Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, David Vincent Bonzon
The invention relates to a sensing tip (8) comprising a conventional tip (1), such as a pipette tip, which is essentially made of a cavity which communicates with the external environment through an aperture (3) located at the tip distal end; the sensing t ...
2016Performance assessment of pressurized fluid-distribution networks
Pressurized fluid-distribution networks are key strategic elements of infrastructure. Drinking water is a precious resource and will become more and more important with the depletion of reserves. With the growth of the human population, challenges related ...
