  • Patent number: 11909214
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of electric power system, and more particularly to a topology of a series-connected MMC with a small number of modules, where the topology is composed of a three-phase bridge circuit, half-bridge valve strings, a three-phase filter inductor, and a three-phase grid frequency transformer. The topology of a series-connected MMC with a small number of modules in the present disclosure needs only two half-bridge valve strings, thus greatly reducing the number of the submodules as compared with the conventional MMC structure. When achieving the same high DC voltage output, the present disclosure can improve the power density of the MMC, realize stable three-phase AC output voltage, and further achieve balance of capacitor voltages in the two half-bridge valve strings.

  • Patent number: 8719267
    Abstract: A processing device of an information processing system is operative to obtain a plurality of records, documents, web pages or other data objects, and to construct a binary tree using a bipartition procedure in which subsets of the data objects are associated with respective nodes of the tree. Evaluation of a designated modularity for a given one of the nodes of the tree is used as a stopping criterion to prevent further partitioning of that node and to indicate designation of that node as a leaf node of the tree. The resulting leaf nodes of the tree provide a non-overlapping partitioning of the plurality of data objects. The processing device is further operative to perform a neighborhood search on the tree to identify pairs of the plurality of data objects that match the same entity, and to store an indication of the matching pairs of data objects.
