  • Publication number: 20250051737
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a DNA polymerase mutant and the use thereof. Compared with a wild type, the mutant provided in the present invention has a significantly improved DNA polymerization activity, significantly improved affinity to DNA and amplification uniformity; and has good effects in the amplification of multiplex PCR, high-GC templates and complex templates. A hot-start-version DNA polymerase is further prepared by means of using antibodies or chemical modifications, wherein the yield of the DNA polymerase is significantly improved, while the primer dimer is significantly decreased. The prepared mutant hot-start DNA polymerase can be applied to PCR amplification of multiplex PCR, high-GC templates and complex templates.

  • Publication number: 20250047188
    Abstract: Power converters including electronic-embedded transformers for current sharing and load-independent voltage gain are described. An example power converter system includes an input, an output, a power converter between the input and output, and a controller. The converter includes a first bridge, a second bridge, and an electronic-embedded transformer between the first and second bridge. The electronic-embedded transformer includes a bidirectional coupling switch bridge. The controller generates drive control signals for quasi-trapezoidal current modulation control of the bidirectional coupling switch bridge. The controller is configured to generate the drive control signals based on a commutation coefficient k and a switching frequency for the power converter. The commutation coefficient k can be set based on an inductance in the electronic-embedded transformer, a capacitance in the bidirectional coupling switch bridge, and a margin for resonant current commutation.

  • Publication number: 20250047206
    Abstract: Power converters including electronic-embedded transformers for current sharing and load-independent voltage gain are described. An example power converter system includes an input, an output, a power converter between the input and output, and a controller. The converter includes a first bridge, a second bridge, and an electronic-embedded transformer (EET) between the first and second bridge. The EET includes a capacitor and a capacitance coupling switch bridge. The controller generates phasing drive control signals for trapezoidal current modulation control of the capacitance coupling switch bridge of the EET. The controller is configured to generate the phasing drive control signals based on a phase shift coefficient, k, to set a duty cycle of a voltage from the capacitance coupling switch bridge. The controller is also configured to vary k from between 0 to 0.5 based on a load applied to the power converter system or other operating aspects of the power converter.
