Abstract: A switched-mode power converter includes timing control feedback loop circuits to minimize or eliminate the potential difference across a high-power switch and a low-power switch during their transitions times. A first feedback circuit compares the measured voltage across the high-power switch at the moment the high-power switch closes with the input voltage to the high-power switch to control a low-to-high delay time. A second feedback circuit compares the measured voltage across the low-power switch at the moment the low-power switch closes with the input voltage to the low-power switch to control a high-to-low delay time. A third feedback circuit compares the measured voltage across the low-power switch at the moment the low-power switch opens. The output of the third feedback circuit is provided as inputs to the first and second feedback circuits. The third feedback circuit also controls the frequency of the power converter.

At least one heat conductive feature is formed between the outer tube and the inner tube, and on an inner surface of the inner tube to maximize a heat exchange between the fluids.

Abstract: A non-native, multi-modal compiler and an emulated computing environment for use in a native computing environment. The multi-modal compiler includes a parser configured to parse or divide received source code into a plurality of token elements, whereby at least one statement is recognized from a collection of token elements. The multi-modal compiler also includes a code emitter configured to emit machine code to implement the at least one statement, whereby the emitted machine code is compiled multi-modal object code that includes non-native operators (e.g., E-Mode operators) and NATV operators. The compiled multi-modal object code is configured in such a way that when translated by a code translation unit, the compiled multi-modal object code generates a merged codefile having translated native code segments corresponding to the non-native operators and native code segments corresponding to the NATV operators. The merged codefile is executable by a native processor in the native computing environment.
