Abstract: A Totem Pole PFC circuit includes at least one fast-switching leg, a slow-switching leg, and a control unit. Each fast-switching leg includes a fast-switching upper switch and a fast-switching lower switch. The slow-switching leg is coupled in parallel to the at least one fast-switching leg, and the slow-switching leg includes a slow-switching upper switch and a slow-switching lower switch. The control unit receives an AC voltage with a phase angle, and the control unit includes a current detection loop, a voltage detection loop, and a control loop. The control loop generates a second control signal assembly to respectively control the slow-switching upper switch and the slow-switching lower switch. The control loop controls the second control signal assembly to follow the phase angle, and dynamically adjusts a duty cycle of the second control signal assembly to turn on or turn off the slow-switching upper switch and the slow-switching lower switch.

Abstract: A new methyl pentaene, lymphosarcin, is provided by the culturing of a new strain of Streptomyces murinus. Lymphosarcin exhibits antineoplastic activity.

Abstract: A method for indicating the presence of microorganisms in blood or other fluids comprising introducing the material to be tested into a nutrient medium containing a ditetrazolium chloride which converts to detectable blue color component in response to dehydrogenase reduction which takes place when microorganisms are present, incubating the said nutrient medium for a short period of time, and then examining the incubated product whereby a blue coloration is indicative of the presence of microorganisms in the sample.
