  • Publication number: 20230275513
    Abstract: A converter system includes a switch adapted to be coupled to an inductor, and configured to switch between first and second states responsive to a loop control signal. Calibration circuitry is configured to operate in first and second control modes, provide a calibration voltage in the first control mode, and store the calibration voltage in the second control mode. In a first instance of the first control mode, the calibration voltage is based on a difference between a feedback voltage and a reference voltage. In a second instance of the first control mode, the calibration voltage is the stored calibration voltage from the second control mode. A comparator is coupled to the switch and the calibration unit, and is configured to provide the loop control signal based on a combination of at least the feedback voltage, the reference voltage, the calibration voltage, and a periodic signal.

  • Publication number: 20230135049
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-strength R-T-B rare earth permanent magnet and a preparation method thereof. The magnet contains 0.3-1.5 wt. % of an element Zr, and a cast strip prepared through vacuum induction melting and melt spinning is treated at a high temperature to make the element Zr therein precipitate in a form of fibrous Zr compounds from R-rich phases, and the fibrous Zr compounds can be uniformly mixed with magnetic powder after hydrogen decrepitation and powder jet milling and mixing, and gradually grow into rod-like Zr compounds existing in the R-rich intergranular phases during the sintering of a green compact. By adjusting the content of the element Zr, sintering temperature and time and other process parameters, the morphology, size and distribution of Zr compounds can be effectively controlled, and the mechanical properties of the magnet can be improved by strengthening the R-rich intergranular phases without deteriorating the magnetic properties of the magnet.

  • Patent number: 11569871
    Abstract: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system that addresses three major challenges in airborne MIMO communications, namely, antenna blockage due largely to the movement and orientation of the airborne platforms, the presence of unknown interference inherent to the intended application, and the lack of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter. The system is implemented on a Diagonal Bell-Labs Layered Space-Time (D-BLAST) MIMO architecture and includes spatial spreading to counter antenna blockage, temporal spreading to mitigate signal to interference and noise ratio degradation due to intended or unintended interference, and a simple low rate feedback scheme to enable real time adaptation in the absence of full transmitter CSI.
