  • Patent number: 11519097
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for growing and doping a strained diamond based on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The method comprises: depositing a gradient buffer layer and a relaxation layer on a substrate layer in sequence by the CVD method; and finally, depositing a CVD strained diamond layer on the relaxation layer and performing doping by the CVD method. According to the method, a lattice constant of the relaxation layer prepared by utilizing the CVD method is greater than a lattice constant of the diamond, so that a diamond generates a stretching strain. In growing and doping processes, the CVD strained diamond is in a stretching strain state. Therefore, a formation energy of a doped element is low, and it is easy to dope the diamond, so that a doping concentration of the diamond is high.

  • Patent number: 11101684
    Abstract: A power supply method and a power supply apparatus including a power conversion circuit, a first and a second switching circuit, and a control circuit are provided. The power conversion circuit is coupled between a DC power source and a power supply terminal and performs a boosting operation according to a DC voltage of the DC power source to generate a boost voltage. The first switching circuit is coupled between an AC power source and the power supply terminal. The second switching circuit is coupled between the power conversion circuit and the power supply terminal. The control circuit enters a first mode after turning on the first and the second switching circuit, so the first switching circuit transmits a main AC voltage of the AC power source to the power supply terminal in the first mode. The boost voltage is greater than a peak value of the main AC voltage.

  • Patent number: 10947321
    Abstract: A method for producing Metal Organic Framework (MOF) having a framework that encapsulates a bio-molecule, the method comprising combining in a solution the bio-molecule and MOF precursors, wherein the bio-molecule promotes formation of the encapsulating framework. The method stems from a surprising effect that a bio-molecule can promote or trigger the formation of MOF when combined together in a solution with MOF precursors. That is, it has now been found that a bio-molecule can effectively act as a seed around which the framework forms, with the resulting framework encapsulating the bio-molecule.

  • Patent number: 9965365
    Abstract: A power supply failover system/method providing uninterruptable power to protected load devices (PLD) is disclosed. The system includes a failover switch controller (FSC) with inputs from an AC I/V monitor (AIV), AC cycle counter (ACC), failover switch timer (FST), and overcurrent protection timer (OPT). The FSC utilizes these inputs to control failsafe switching of a bypass phase switch (BPS) and AC phase switch (ACS) to the PLD when power from the APS is determined to be good by the AIV. When power from the APS is determined to be compromised by the AIV, the FPS disables the ACS/BPS and enables a DC switch (DCS) and battery isolation switch (BIS) to connect a DC source to the PLD after a time period determined by the FST. APS/DCS overcurrent protection is limited by OPT intervals allowing a smooth transition between the APS to DCS during power failover/failback.
