This paper presents a systematic topological study to derive all possible basic and non-isolated three-port converters (TPCs) using power flow diagrams. Unlike most reported TPCs with one bidirectional port, this paper considers up to two bidirectional ports and provides a comprehensive analytical tool. This tool acts as a framework for all power flow combinations, selection, and design. Some viable converter configurations have been identified and selected for further analysis.

Abstract In this paper, we examine design problems in which requirements consist of constant power-flows with constant effort and flow variables in various domains. The use of an outgrowth of bond graph structure for design is explored. A spanning set of functional primitives is determined which can assemble an arbitrary system meeting the above functional requirements. Some basic theorems are developed regarding generic assembly algorithms to build systems using elements belonging to the chosen set. Maximum and minimum bounds on complexity are determined. An optimal partitioning of specified requirements is obtained to minimize the number of primitives needed. Power-flows through each primitive used is subsequently minimized to obtain a minimal power-flow graph.

A transmission hub is a speed changing mechanism which is an important device in the transmission system of bicycles. This paper presents the kinematic analysis of an 8-speed bicycle transmission hub by using the fundamental circuit method. First, a distributed-flow type planetary gear mechanism, which consists of two parallel-connected transmission units and one differential unit, and the corresponding clutch sequence table of an 8-speed transmission hub are introduced. Based on the fundamental circuits, four kinematic equations of the transmission hub are derived. Then, the speed ratio of each speed is formulated, which is a function of gear ratios of external and internal gear pairs. By submitting the numbers of gear teeth into these formulas, the value of speed ratio at each speed can be calculated. Finally, the power-flow diagrams at related speeds are presented to illustrate the power-flow paths of the transmission hub.

This paper presents kinematic analysis and power-flow analysis of an existing 8-speed bicycle drive hub by using the fundamental circuit method. First, a planetary gear mechanism, which consists of three basic planetary gear trains connected in series, and its clutching sequence table are introduced. Based on the fundamental circuits, six kinematic equations of the drive hub are derived. Then, the power-flow diagrams at related gears are illustrated based on the clutching sequence table, and the power-flow paths of the bicycle drive hub can be identified. The results of this study are beneficial to the development of multi-speed drive hubs for bicycles.

AbstractThe target article uses a mathematical framework derived from Bayesian decision making to demonstrate suboptimal decision making but then attributes psychological reality to the framework components. Rahnev & Denison's (R&D) positive proposal thus risks ignoring plausible psychological theories that could implement complex perceptual decision making. We must be careful not to slide from success with an analytical tool to the reality of the tool components.
