Abstract: A selenization/sulfurization process apparatus for use with a single-piece glass substrate is characterized by two chambers for heating up a glass substrate quickly and performing selenization/sulfurization on the glass substrate to not only prevent the glass substrate from staying at a soaking temperature of a softening point for a long period of time but also increase the thin-film selenization/sulfurization temperature according to the needs of the process to thereby reduce the duration of soaking selenization/sulfurization, save energy, and save time. The glass substrate undergoes reciprocating motion in the chambers to not only attain uniform temperature throughout the glass substrate but also distribute a selenization/sulfurization gas across the glass substrate uniformly during the selenization/sulfurization operation. The recycled liquid selenium/sulfur and inert gas are reusable to thereby reduce material costs.

Abstract: Current of a three-phase multilevel modular converter (MMC) is controlled. The control is a division-summation (D-?) method yet uses integration to replace the two steps of division and summation. Common D-? characteristic equations are used for all areas. Inductance changes are considered in the characteristic equations. Current source is used to control converter. Therefore, the current of the converter can be traced to sinusoidal reference current even when the inductance changes become big. The modulation method and the capacitor-voltage balancing method are submodule unified pulse width modulation (SUPWM) and sorted voltage-balancing method, respectively. The current control directly obtains a law of the current change on each conducting module of an arm. It does not need complex sector judgments and table look-ups. Thus, the amount of computation and memory for a processor can be relatively reduced.
