  • Publication number: 20240072669
    Abstract: A power converter includes a high side switch, a low side switch, a low side driver, a loading detector, a configurable regulator and a high side driver. The low side driver generates a low side drive signal to control the low side switch. The configurable regulator generates a regulation voltage, a magnitude of which is greater when the loading detector detects that the power converter has light loading than when the loading detector detects that the power converter has heavy loading. The high side driver generates a high side drive signal that switches between the input voltage and the regulation voltage to control the high side switch.

  • Patent number: 10702845
    Abstract: A reaction method with a homogeneous-phase supercritical fluid includes introducing a first fluid into a mixing chamber. A mass is less than or equal to that can be absorbed by the molecular sieve component, totally absorbing the first fluid by the molecular sieve component. A second fluid is introduced into the mixing chamber with a mass being greater than that can be absorbed by the molecular sieve component. A temperature and a pressure in the mixing chamber are adjusted to a critical temperature and a critical pressure of the second fluid, respectively, releasing the first fluid in supercritical phase from the molecular sieve component into the mixing chamber, followed by homogeneously mixing with the second fluid in supercritical phase in the mixing chamber to obtain a homogeneous-phase mixing fluid. The homogeneous-phase mixing fluid is then introduced into a reaction chamber connected to the mixing chamber.

  • Publication number: 20190375688
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sintering control method of ceramic manufacturing. The method includes the following steps: S1: preparing a pore-forming agent containing a porogen; S2: mixing the pore-forming agent with a ceramic slurry and forming a greenpart; S3: sintering the greenpart at a first temperature in an oxygen-free environment to form a semi-finished object; and S4: sintering the semi-finished object at a second temperature in an oxygen-containing environment to form a ceramic article. Wherein, the first temperature is higher than the second temperature. While the porogen is a carbon-based material, the second temperature is from 300° C. to 600° C., and the porosity of the ceramic article may reach 30% to 70%. By this method, the property of the ceramic article (including mechanical strength, porosity, pore shape and size) can be designed according to requirement and controlled for quality assurance.
