  • Publication number: 20140153289
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a secondary side serial resonant full-bridge DC/DC converter, comprising: a transistor full-bridge unit, a transformer unit, a resonant unit, a rectifying unit, and an output unit. Particularly, in the present invention, a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor of the resonant unit and a load resistor of the output unit constitute a serial resonant circuit having a serial resonant frequency; therefore, when the circuit frequency is operated on the serial resonant frequency, the resonant inductor impedance would be offset by the resonant capacitor impedance, such that the circuit is operated in the zero current switch (ZCS) region, and the output voltage variation can be controlled in ±0.2%. Moreover, through the serial resonant circuit, the issue about the resonant components hard to be designed due to their small characteristic impedance can simultaneously be improved.

  • Publication number: 20130073994
    Abstract: Web workflow service information may include implementations, contracts, addresses, bindings, and other information that is sprinkled throughout source files, configuration files, and other locations. A service explorer extracts service information, and visualizes service information in a form that supports navigation, thereby helping developers understand and use workflow service information. A workflow service structure underlying the visualization is constructed with the extracted service information. A hierarchical node visualization of the service structure is displayed in a service explorer GUI. A developer navigates by expanding/contracting nodes, searching nodes, selecting nodes, and running tools with node-specific information, e.g., for testing, tracing, publication, workflow design, and so on. The visualization is automatically updated after service configuration changes.
