Extended fundamental frequency analysis of the LCC resonant converter

Fundamental frequency techniques are used to analyze the series-parallel resonant converter under heavy load conditions, both with a continuous, but distorted parallel capacitor voltage waveform, and with a discontinuous capacitor voltage waveform. The analysis is validated with results from an experimental prototype. The application of the technique to the parallel-loaded L-C resonant converter is also considered.     

Study of the DC biasing effect on insertion losses in high-frequency interconnections

The paper deals with an experimental investigation of the behavior of high-frequency Si/SiO₂/Al based interconnects when an extra DC bias voltage is applied, by means of which the conductor line changes the surface properties of the semiconductor substrate. By superposing a DC bias to the high-speed signal applied to the line, the insertion losses caused by the semiconductor substrate show a significant decrease over the observed frequency range. In order to study this effect a number of test samples containing several microstrip asymmetric transmission lines were prepared and measured. The obtained results suggest a way of controlling the performance and energy propagation of interconnects on semiconductor substrates. The observed effect can be successfully applied in high-speed blocks with tunable parameters.     

A Frequency Multiplication Resonant Inverter With Constant Frequency Phase Control

The schematic and analysis of a voltage-fed resonant inverter are presented in this paper. The topology of the inverter allows operation of the resonant tank at higher harmonics and multiples of the switching frequency. The resulting loss in voltage gain is compensated through the use of multiple commutation poles employing low-cost modestly rated MOSFETs. The proposed topology can control power throughput at a fixed frequency through pole phase-shift modulation. Zero voltage switching is maintained down to no load and within the entire input voltage range. Measurements from a multimegahertz 100-W inverter confirm the theoretical predictions, as well as the suggested design and control approach.     

Synthesis of 5,7,11 b,12-tetrahydro-isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolinium methiodides and theirStevens rearrangement

The title compounds5 were synthetized in two steps from the corresponding isoindolo[2,1–b]isoquinoline-5(7H)-ones3, obtained in high yields from 3-ethoxy-1H-isoindoles2 and homopthalic anhydrides1. TheStevens rearrangement of5 gave 2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1-spiro-2-indanes6.

Synthese von 5,7,11 b,12-Tetrahydro-isoindolo[2,1-b]isochinolinium Methiodiden und ihre Stevens-Umlagerung

Zusammenfassung Die Titelverbindungen5 wurden in zwei Stufen aus den entsprechenden Isoindolo[2,1–b]isochinolin-5(7H)-onen (3) dargestellt, die ihrerseits in hohen Ausbeuten aus 3-Ethoxy-1H-isoindolen (2) und Homophthalsäureanhydriden erhältlich sind. DieStevens-Umlagerung von5 führte zu 2-Methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-spiro-2-indanen (6).

     

Synthesis of Gossypol Analogues

Two gossypol analogues 2a and 2b were synthesized for biological evaluation as male contraceptive agents. The naphthol 8c was prepared by analogy with a known procedure starling from 3-isopropylcatechol ( 3 ). (t-Bu)₂O₂-Mediated phenolic coupling of 8c furnished the binaphthol 9c which, after pyrane ring closure, deprotection. and selective bisformylation with SnCl₄/Cl₂CHOCH₃, gave the target compound 2a . The corresponding tetrahydroxy analogue 2b was prepared in a similar way.     

On group rings of abelian p-groups of any cardinality

The problem is studied of the connection between an Abelian p-group G of arbitrary cardinality and its group ring LG, where L is a ring with unity nonzero characteristic n0 (mod p), with p being a prime. In particular, it is shown that group ring LG defines to within isomorphism the basis subgroup of group G. If reduced Abelian p-group G has finite type and if its Ulm factors decompose into direct products of cyclic groups, then group ring LG determines group G to within isomorphism.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 6, No. 4, pp. 381–392, October, 1969.
