Abstract. A mid-frequency magnetron sputtering (MFMS) power supply based on TL494 and MCU was introduced. A Buck Chopper and full bridge inverter were applied to the main circuit. The PWM controller TL494 was used in the Buck voltage-regulation control circuit to realize closed loop control. The drive signal of the IGBT in full bridge inverter was based on precise digital pulse width modulator (DPWM) signal produced by the MCU M30290. The DPWM can be set by potentiometer so the power supply can output the square wave with adjustable frequency and duty cycle. The power supply was operated in constant current mode. For micro or strong arcing of the target, different safeguards were adopted by the control circuit. At last, the system test and experimental results show that the stability, reliability and tuning range of the MFMS power supply can meet the requirements of the magnetron sputtering coating.

Voltage stability is necessary in order to maintain the health of the grid system. In recent years, the load demand is increasing from time-to-time which compromised the stability of the system. On that purpose, several methods on enhancing the voltage stability of the system was introduced such as the transformer tap and FACTS devices. In a general overview, this study is to propose a several power compensation techniques on the base case of an IEEE-33 bus whereby power flow analysis using Netwon- Raphson in PSS/E software is performed. Afterwards, distributed generation (DG) and Static VAR Compensator (SVC) will be implemented within the distribution network to compensate the voltage instability losses based on the weakest index from the bus system. From both the cases which is proposed earlier, a comparison study is conducted on the performance on both DG and SVC within the proposed network.

Unidirectional liquid spreading without energy input is of significant interest for the broad applications in diverse fields such as water harvesting, drop transfer, oil–water separation and microfluidic devices. However, the controllability of liquid motion and the simplification of manufacturing process remain challenges. Inspired by the peristome of Nepenthes alata, a surface-tension-confined (STC) channel with biomimetic microcavities was fabricated facilely through UV exposure photolithography and partial plasma treatment. Perfect asymmetric liquid spreading was achieved by combination of microcavities and hydrophobic boundary, and the stability of pinning effect was demonstrated. The influences of structural features of microcavities on both liquid spreading and liquid pinning were investigated and the underlying mechanism was revealed. We also demonstrated the spontaneous unidirectional transport of liquid in 3D space and on tilting slope. In addition, through changing pits arrangement and wettability pattern, complex liquid motion paths and microreactors were realized. This work will open a new way for liquid manipulation and lab-on-chip applications.

This paper presents a closed loop CLL-T (capacitor inductor inductor) series parallel resonant converter (SPRC) has been simulated and the performance is analyzed. A three element CLL-T SPRC working under load independent operation (voltage type and current type load) is presented in this paper. The stability and AC analysis of CLL-T SPRC has been developed using state space technique and the regulation of output voltage is done by using Fuzzy controller. The simulation study indicates the superiority of fuzzy control over the conventional control methods. The proposed approach is expected to provide better voltage regulation for dynamic load conditions. A prototype 300 W, 100 kHz converter is designed and built to experimentally demonstrate, dynamic and steady state performance for the CLL-T SPRC are compared from the simulation studies.
