Abstract: Relocate the abstract to the last page of the application and replace the abstract with the following new abstract: A mill configured for a thermo-mechanical simulating test system includes a stand with a strip entry disposed thereon for feeding strips; an upper roller and a lower roller disposed on the stand; devices for axial and radial positioning of the upper roller and the lower roller; a pressure sensor for testing rolling force disposed between the stand and at least one of the upper roller and the lower roller; a strip clamp disposed corresponding to the strip entry, wherein the strip clamp is removeably connected to a first coupling head of the thermo-mechanical simulating test system; a coupling mount connected to the stand and disposed generally oppositely to the strip entry on a side of the stand, wherein the coupling mount is removeably connected to a second coupling head of the thermo-mechanical simulating test system.

Abstract: In a power factor corrector including a PWM switch to switch a line current generated from a line voltage to charge a boost capacitor to thereby generate an output voltage, a piecewise on-time modulation apparatus and method comprise comparing a line voltage dependent voltage with an output voltage dependent voltage to generate a comparison signal to determine the on-time of the PWM switch. When the line voltage is lower than a threshold, the on-time of the PWM switch varies with the line voltage, and when the line voltage is higher than the threshold, the on-time of the PWM switch is constant.
